إنجيل يوحنا 2
1 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ كَانَ عُرْسٌ فِي قَانَا الْجَلِيلِ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ هُنَاكَ.
2 وَدُعِيَ أَيْضًا يَسُوعُ وَتَلاَمِيذُهُ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ.
3 وَلَمَّا فَرَغَتِ الْخَمْرُ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَمْرٌ».
4 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكِ يَا امْرَأَةُ؟ لَمْ تَأْتِ سَاعَتِي بَعْدُ».
5 قَالَتْ أُمُّهُ لِلْخُدَّامِ: «مَهْمَا قَالَ لَكُمْ فَافْعَلُوهُ».
6 وَكَانَتْ سِتَّةُ أَجْرَانٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَوْضُوعَةً هُنَاكَ، حَسَبَ تَطْهِيرِ الْيَهُودِ، يَسَعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِطْرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةً.
7 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «امْلأُوا الأَجْرَانَ مَاءً». فَمَلأُوهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ.
8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ: «اسْتَقُوا الآنَ وَقَدِّمُوا إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْمُتَّكَإِ». فَقَدَّمُوا.
9 فَلَمَّا ذَاقَ رَئِيسُ الْمُتَّكَإِ الْمَاءَ الْمُتَحَوِّلَ خَمْرًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هِيَ، لكِنَّ الْخُدَّامَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدِ اسْتَقَوُا الْمَاءَ عَلِمُوا، دَعَا رَئِيسُ الْمُتَّكَإِ الْعَرِيسَ
10 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ إِنَّمَا يَضَعُ الْخَمْرَ الْجَيِّدَةَ أَوَّلًا، وَمَتَى سَكِرُوا فَحِينَئِذٍ الدُّونَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ الْخَمْرَ الْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى الآنَ!».
11 هذِهِ بِدَايَةُ الآيَاتِ فَعَلَهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا الْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلاَمِيذُهُ.

وقانا اسم عبري معناه "مكان القصب" وهي مدينة شهيرة صنع المسيح أعجوبته الأولى فيها وهي تحويل الماء على خمر (يو 2: 1-11). وبعد ذلك صنع عجيبة ثانية فيها شفاء ابن خادم الملك (يو 4: 46-54) وكانت وطن نثنائيل (يو 21: 2). وكل ما نعرفه من الإنجيل أن موقعها هو أنها في الجليل بمكان عال بالنسبة إلى كفرناحوم إذ يقول يوحنا في إنجيله (يو 2: 12) "وبعد هذا انحدر إلى كفرناحوم" وخادم الملك الآتي من كفرناحوم إلى قانا حيث كان يسوع طلب منه أن "ينزل ليشفي ابنه" (يو 4: 46، 47). ويرّجح أنها خربة قانا شمالي الناصرة بثمانية أميال. وهناك عيون ماء ومستنقعات وكثيرة القصب. يوسيبوس وجيروم يؤيدان هذا الراي بقولهما أن قانا الجليل تقع بالقرب من صيداء. ويقول بعضهم أنها كفركنّا التي تقع شمال شرقي الناصرة بأربعة أميال. وفي كنيسة الروم الأرثوذكس في كفركنَّا جرّة يعرضونها على السياح ويزعمون أنها استعملت في عجيبة تحويل الماء خمرًا. ولكن اسم "كنَّا" ليس بالقاف

John 2:1-11
2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

1. On this day, the church celebrates the commemoration of the miracle that our Lord Jesus Christ performed at Cana of Galilee. It was the first miracle that our Lord Jesus performed after His baptism. He was invited to the wedding with His virgin mother, St. Mary, and also some of His disciples.
When they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it." There were set there six water pots of stone. Jesus said to them. "Fill the water pots with water." And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the master of the feast."
When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, he said to the bridegroom, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine and when the guests have well drunk, then that which is inferior; but you have kept the good wine until now."
This was the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory and His disciples believed in Him. (John 2:1-11)
To Him is the Glory with His Good Father and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
