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! 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, 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 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 21.12Matthew 13Mark 11.15-17Luke 19.45Luke 46)13 Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 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 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 miracle will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 “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.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23 In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles. 24 But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25 No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.
Premier miracle de Jésus aux noces de Cana
V. 1-12: cf. (Mt 22:2. Ap 19:9.) (Jn 5:36. Ac 10:38.) Mt 9:15.1 Trois jours après, il y eut des noces à Cana en Galilée. La mère de Jésus était là, 2 et Jésus fut aussi invité aux noces avec ses disciples. 3 Le vin ayant manqué, la mère de Jésus lui dit: Ils n’ont plus de vin. 4 Jésus lui répondit: Femme, qu’y a-t-il entre moi et toi? Mon heure n’est pas encore venue. 5 Sa mère dit aux serviteurs: Faites ce qu’il vous dira. 6 Or, il y avait là six vases de pierre, destinés aux purifications des Juifs, et contenant chacun deux ou trois mesures. 7 Jésus leur dit: Remplissez d’eau ces vases. Et ils les remplirent jusqu’au bord.
8 Puisez maintenant, leur dit-il, et portez-en à l’ordonnateur du repas. Et ils en portèrent. 9 Quand l’ordonnateur du repas eut goûté l’eau changée en vin, ne sachant d’où venait ce vin, tandis que les serviteurs, qui avaient puisé l’eau, le savaient bien, il appela l’époux, 10 et lui dit: Tout homme sert d’abord le bon vin, puis le moins bon après qu’on s’est enivré; toi, tu as gardé le bon vin jusqu’à présent. 11 Tel fut, à Cana en Galilée, le premier des miracles que fit Jésus. Il manifesta sa gloire, et ses disciples crurent en lui. 12 Après cela, il descendit à Capernaüm, avec sa mère, ses frères et ses disciples, et ils n’y demeurèrent que peu de jours.
Jésus à Jérusalem. Les vendeurs chassés du temple
V. 13-22: cf. Mc 11:15-18, Mc 27-33Mc 14:57, Mc 58Mc 15:29. Mt 12:38-40.13 La Pâque des Juifs était proche, et Jésus monta à Jérusalem. 14 Il trouva dans le temple les vendeurs de bœufs, de brebis et de pigeons, et les changeurs assis. 15 Ayant fait un fouet avec des cordes, il les chassa tous du temple, ainsi que les brebis et les bœufs; il dispersa la monnaie des changeurs, et renversa les tables; 16 et il dit aux vendeurs de pigeons: Otez cela d’ici, ne faites pas de la maison de mon Père une maison de trafic. 17 Ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il est écrit:
Le zèle de ta maison me dévore.
Le temple relevé en trois jours
18 Les Juifs, prenant la parole, lui dirent: Quel miracle nous montres-tu, pour agir de la sorte? 19 Jésus leur répondit: Détruisez ce temple, et en trois jours je le relèverai. 20 Les Juifs dirent: Il a fallu quarante-six ans pour bâtir ce temple, et toi, en trois jours tu le relèveras! 21 Mais il parlait du temple de son corps. 22 C’est pourquoi, lorsqu’il fut ressuscité des morts, ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il avait dit cela, et ils crurent à l’Écriture et à la parole que Jésus avait dite.
Ce que pense Jésus de ceux qui croient en son nom
V. 23-25: cf. Jé 17:9, Jé 10. Hé 4:12, Hé 13. Ap 2:23.23 Pendant que Jésus était à Jérusalem, à la fête de Pâque, plusieurs crurent en son nom, voyant les miracles qu’il faisait. 24 Mais Jésus ne se fiait point à eux, parce qu’il les connaissait tous, 25 et parce qu’il n’avait pas besoin qu’on lui rendît témoignage d’aucun homme; car il savait lui-même ce qui était dans l’homme.
