1 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ كَانَ عُرْسٌ فِي قَانَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ هُنَاكَ. 2 وَدُعِيَ أَيْضًا يَسُوعُ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ إِلَى ٱلْعُرْسِ. 3 وَلَمَّا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْخَمْرُ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَمْرٌ». 4 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكِ يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ؟ لَمْ تَأْتِ سَاعَتِي بَعْدُ». 5 قَالَتْ أُمُّهُ لِلْخُدَّامِ: «مَهْمَا قَالَ لَكُمْ فَٱفْعَلُوهُ». 6 وَكَانَتْ سِتَّةُ أَجْرَانٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَوْضُوعَةً هُنَاكَ، حَسَبَ تَطْهِيرِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، يَسَعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِطْرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً. 7 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱمْلَأُوا ٱلْأَجْرَانَ مَاءً». فَمَلَأُوهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ. 8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْتَقُوا ٱلْآنَ وَقَدِّمُوا إِلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ». فَقَدَّمُوا. 9 فَلَمَّا ذَاقَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ ٱلْمَاءَ ٱلْمُتَحَوِّلَ خَمْرًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هِيَ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْخُدَّامَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱسْتَقَوْا ٱلْمَاءَ عَلِمُوا، دَعَا رَئِيسُ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ ٱلْعَرِيسَ 10 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ إِنَّمَا يَضَعُ ٱلْخَمْرَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ أَوَّلًا، وَمَتَى سَكِرُوا فَحِينَئِذٍ ٱلدُّونَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ ٱلْخَمْرَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ!». 11 هَذِهِ بِدَايَةُ ٱلْآيَاتِ فَعَلَهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ. 12 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا ٱنْحَدَرَ إِلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ، هُوَ وَأُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ، وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ أَيَّامًا لَيْسَتْ كَثِيرَةً. 13 وَكَانَ فِصْحُ ٱلْيَهُودِ قَرِيبًا، فَصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، 14 وَوَجَدَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا وَحَمَامًا، وَٱلصَّيَارِفَ جُلُوسًا. 15 فَصَنَعَ سَوْطًا مِنْ حِبَالٍ وَطَرَدَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، اَلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ، وَكَبَّ دَرَاهِمَ ٱلصَّيَارِفِ وَقَلَّبَ مَوَائِدَهُمْ. 16 وَقَالَ لِبَاعَةِ ٱلْحَمَامِ: «ٱرْفَعُوا هَذِهِ مِنْ هَهُنَا! لَا تَجْعَلُوا بَيْتَ أَبِي بَيْتَ تِجَارَةٍ!». 17 فَتَذَكَّرَ تَلَامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «غَيْرَةُ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي». 18 فَأَجَابَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالوُا لَهُ: «أَيَّةَ آيَةٍ تُرِينَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ هَذَا؟». 19 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «ٱنْقُضُوا هَذَا ٱلْهَيْكَلَ، وَفِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُقِيمُهُ». 20 فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «فِي سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً بُنِيَ هَذَا ٱلْهَيْكَلُ، أَفَأَنْتَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تُقِيمُهُ؟». 21 وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ عَنْ هَيْكَلِ جَسَدِهِ. 22 فَلَمَّا قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، تَذَكَّرَ تَلَامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا، فَآمَنُوا بِٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ. 23 وَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفِصْحِ، آمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱسْمِهِ، إِذْ رَأَوْا ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ. 24 لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَأْتَمِنْهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ. 25 وَلِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُحْتَاجًا أَنْ يَشْهَدَ أَحَدٌ عَنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ مَا كَانَ فِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Ye know, Brethren, for ye have learnt it as believing in Christ, and continually too do we by our ministry impress it upon you, that the humility of Christ is the medicine of man's swollen pride. For man would not have perished, had he not been swollen up through pride.

First of all, after He had made the water wine at Cana of Galilee, He went up to the festival day of the passover, on which occasion it is written, "For many believed in Him, when they saw the signs which He did," as John the disciple of the Lord records.
For to this power what is added about the resurrection refers, "Who shall awake him?" This means that no man but Himself has raised Him, who also said of His own body, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." And the very nature of His death, that is, the height of the cross, is understood …
