Na i te toru o nga ra he marena i Kana o Kariri; a reira te whaea o Ihu:

I karangatia ano a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga ki te marena.

A, i te paunga o te waina, ka mea te whaea o Ihu ki a ia, Kahore a ratou waina.

Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E tai, he aha taku ki a koe? kahore ano kia taea noatia toku haora.

Ka mea tona whaea ki nga kaimahi, Ko tana e mea ai ki a koutou, meatia.

Na i reira etahi ipu kohatu e ono e tu ana, he tikanga na nga Hurai mo te horoi, e rua, e toru nga mehua o tetahi, o tetahi, ina ki.

Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Whakakiia nga ipu ki te wai. A whakakiia ana e ratou, purena noa.

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena, utuhia, kawea atu ki te rangatira o te hakari. A kawea ana e ratou.

A, no ka whakamatau te rangatira o te hakari i te wai i whakawainatia, a kihai i mohio no hea ranei; ko nga pononga ia i utuhia ai te wai i mohio; ka karanga te rangatira o te hakari ki te tane marena hou,

10 Ka mea ki a ia, E whakatakotoria ana e nga tangata katoa te waina pai i te timatanga; a ka roa te inumanga, mo reira te waina he iti iho nei te pai: ko koe ia, kua tohu i te waina pai mo naianei.

11 I meatia tenei timatanga merekara e Ihu ki Kana o Kariri, i whakakitea e ia tona kororia; a whakapono ana ana akonga ki a ia.

12 Muri iho i tenei ka haere iho ia ki Kaperenauma, a ia, tona whaea, ona teina, me ana akonga: a kihai i maha nga ra i noho ai ratou ki reira.

13 Na kua tata te kapenga o nga Hurai, a ka haere a Ihu ki Hiruharama:

14 Na rokohanga atu e ia i roto i te temepara e noho ana nga kaihoko kau, hipi, kukupa, me nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni.

15 A, ka hanga e ia he whiu ki nga aho nonohi, ka whiua katoatia e ia ki waho i te temepara, nga hipi, me nga kau; ringihia ana hoki te moni a nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, turakina ake nga tepu;

16 I mea ano ia ki nga kaihoko kukupa, Tangohia atu enei i konei; aua te whare o toku Matua e meinga hei whare hokohoko.

17 A ka mahara ana akonga ki te mea i tuhituhia, Ka pau ahau i te aroha ki tou whare.

18 Na ka whakahoki nga Hurai, ka mea ki a ia, he aha te tohu e whakakitea ana e koe ki a matou, ina koe ka mea nei i enei mea?

19 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Wawahia tenei whare tapu, a kia toru nga ra ka ara ano i ahau.

20 Ano ra ko nga Hurai, E wha tekau ma ono nga tau i hanga ai tenei whare tapu, e oti ranei te hanga e koe i nga ra e toru?

21 Otira ko te whare tapu o tona tinana tana i korero ai.

22 Na reira, i tona aranga ake i te hunga mate, ka mahara ana akonga ki tana korerotanga i tenei; a whakapono ana ratou ki te karaipiture, ki te kupu hoki i korerotia e Ihu.

23 Na, i a ia i Hiruharama, i te kapenga, i te hakari, he tokomaha i whakapono ki tona ingoa, i to ratou kitenga i ana merekara i meatia e ia.

24 Otira kihai a Ihu i tuku atu i a ia ki a ratou, i mohio hoki ia ki nga tangata katoa.

25 A kahore ana meatanga kia whakaaturia te tangata e tetahi: i matau hoki ia ki te mea i roto i te tangata.

Jesus Changes Water Into Wine

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

“Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]

Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.(H) He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs(I) through which he revealed his glory;(J) and his disciples believed in him.(K)

12 After this he went down to Capernaum(L) with his mother(M) and brothers(N) and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

Jesus Clears the Temple Courts(O)

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(P) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(Q) 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,(R) and others sitting at tables exchanging money.(S) 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house(T) into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c](U)

18 The Jews(V) then responded to him, “What sign(W) can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”(X)

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”(Y)

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.(Z) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.(AA) Then they believed the scripture(AB) and the words that Jesus had spoken.

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AC) many people saw the signs(AD) he was performing and believed(AE) in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind,(AF) for he knew what was in each person.(AG)
