Ludzie pragną czasami się rozstawać, żeby móc tęsknić, czekać i cieszyć się z powrotem.

"Before Philip
called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I
saw you."
1:49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are
Israel's King!"
1:50 "Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'"
replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things
than that."

1:51 "I tell you all /1 in most solemn truth," He added, /2
"that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going
up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
2:1 /3 Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee,
and the mother of Jesus was there,
2:2 and Jesus also was invited and His disciples.
2:3 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said
to Him, "They have no wine."
2:4 /4 "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; /5 "the time
for me to act has not yet come."
2:5 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to
do, /6 do it."
2:6 Now there were six stone jars standing there (in accordance
with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large
enough to hold twenty gallons or more.
2:7 Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water."
And they filled them to the brim.
2:8 Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the
President of the feast."
2:9 So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President
tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where
it came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water
knew--he called to the bridegroom
2:10 and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine
first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is
inferior. But you have kept the good wine till now."
2:11 This, the first of His /7 miracles, Jesus performed at Cana
in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His
disciples believed in Him.

2:12 Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother,
and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay
there.
2:13 But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus
went up to Jerusalem.
2:14 And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep
and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
2:15 So He plaited a whip of /1 rushes, and drove all--both
sheep and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the
brokers He upset on the ground and overturned their tables.
2:16 And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away.
Do not turn my Father's house into a market."
2:17 This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, <"My
zeal for Thy House will consume me.">
2:18 So the Jews /2 asked Him, "What /3 proof of your authority
do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
2:19 "Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I
will rebuild it."
2:20 "It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build
this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"
2:21 But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.
2:22 When however He had risen from among the dead, His
disciples recollected that He /4 had said this; and they
believed the Scripture and the /5 teaching which Jesus had
given them.
2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem, /6 at the Festival of the
Passover, many /7 became believers /8 in Him through watching
the miracles He performed.
2:24 But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them,
because He knew them all,

2:25 and did not need any one's testimony concerning /1 a man,
for He of Himself knew what was in the man.
3:1 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was
Nicodemus--a ruler among the Jews.
3:2 He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you
are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which
you are doing, unless God is with him.
3:3 "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that
unless a man is born /2 anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
3:4 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born
when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb
and be born?"
3:5 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that
unless a man is /3 born of water /4 and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the Kingdom of God.
3:6 /5 Whatever has been /6 born of the flesh is flesh, and
whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7 Do not be astonished at my telling you, `You must all be
born anew.'
3:8 /7 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its /8
sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is
going. So is it with every one who has been born of the
Spirit."
3:9 "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.
3:10 "Are you," replied Jesus, "`the /9 Teacher of Israel,' and
yet do you not understand these things?
3:11 In most solemn truth I tell you that /10 we speak what we
know, and give testimony of that of which we /11 were
eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony.
3:12 If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe
me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?

3:13 /1 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is
One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose
home is in Heaven.
3:14 And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so
must the Son of Man be lifted up,
