Johannes 2

Bryllaupet i Kana

1  t Tredje dagen var det eit bryllaup i Kana i Galilea. Mor til Jesus var der. 2 Også Jesus og læresveinane hans var bedne. 3 Då det var slutt på vinen, sa Jesu mor til han: «Dei har ikkje meir vin.» 4 tt «Kva vil du meg, kvinne?» svara Jesus. «Min time er enno ikkje komen.»

5 t Då sa mor hans til tenarane: «Det han seier dykk, skal de gjera.»
6  t t No stod det seks vasskar av stein der, slike som blir nytta i reinsingsskikkane til jødane. Kvart av dei tok to eller tre anker. 7 «Fyll kara med vatn», sa Jesus. Og tenarane fylte dei til randa. 8 t Så sa han til dei: «Aus no opp og ber det til kjøkemeisteren.» Det gjorde dei. 9 Kjøkemeisteren smaka på vatnet, som hadde vorte til vin. Han visste ikkje kvar vinen kom frå, men tenarane som hadde aust opp vatnet, visste det. Då ropa han på brudgomen

10 og sa: «Alle andre set først fram den gode vinen, og når gjestene er drukne, kjem dei med den som er dårlegare. Du har gøymt den gode vinen til no.»
11  t Dette var det første teiknet Jesus gjorde; det var i Kana i Galilea. Han openberra sin herlegdom, og læresveinane hans trudde på han.

12 Sidan drog han ned til Kapernaum saman med mor si, brørne sine og læresveinane sine, og der vart dei verande nokre dagar.

Det gamle og det nye tempelet

(Matt 21,12–13; Mark 11,15–17; Luk 19,45–46)

17 t Læresveinane hans hugsa at det står skrive: Brennande iver for ditt hus vil tæra meg opp !
18  t Då tok jødane til orde og spurde han: «Kan du visa oss eit teikn på at du har rett til å gjera dette?» 19 t Jesus svara: «Riv ned dette tempelet, og eg skal reisa det opp att på tre dagar.» 20 t Då sa jødane: «I førtiseks år har dei bygd på dette tempelet, og du vil reisa det opp att på tre dagar?» 21 t Men det tempelet han tala om, var hans eigen kropp.

22 t Då han hadde stått opp frå dei døde, hugsa læresveinane hans at han hadde sagt dette, og dei trudde Skrifta og det ordet Jesus hadde sagt.

JOHN 2

Jesus at a Wedding in Cana

1 Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee.

2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.

3 When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”

4 Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come!t You must not tell me what to do.”

5 Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6 At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters . 7 Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled,

8 he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9 and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over

10 and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11 This was Jesus' first miracle, t and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

12 t After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.

Jesus in the Temple

(Matthew 21.12,13; Mark 11.15-17; Luke 19.45,46)

15 So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.

16 Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”

17  t The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”

18 The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miraclet will you work to show us why you have done this?”

19  t “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”

20 The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21 But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple.

22 And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
