变水为酒

第三天,在加利利的迦拿有人举办婚宴,耶稣的母亲在那里。 耶稣和门徒也被邀请去赴宴。 酒喝完了,耶稣的母亲就对祂说:“他们没有酒了。” 耶稣说:“妇人,这跟你我有什么相干[a]?我的时候还没有到。” 祂母亲对仆人说:“祂叫你们做什么,你们就做什么。” 那里有六口犹太人用来行洁净礼仪的石缸,每口可以盛约一百升水。

耶稣对仆人说:“把缸倒满水!”他们就往缸里倒水,一直满到缸口。 耶稣又说:“现在可以舀些出来,送给宴席总管。”他们就送了去。 那些仆人知道这酒是怎样来的,宴席总管却不知道。他尝过那水变的酒后,便把新郎叫来, 10 对他说:“人们都是先拿好酒款待客人,等客人喝够了,才把次等的拿出来,你却把好酒留到现在!” 11 这是耶稣第一次行神迹,是在加利利的迦拿行的,彰显了祂的荣耀,门徒都信了祂。

12 这事以后,耶稣和祂的母亲、弟弟并门徒一起去迦百农住了几天。

洁净圣殿

13 犹太人的逾越节快到了,耶稣便上耶路撒冷去。 14 祂看见圣殿区有人在卖牛羊和鸽子,还有人在兑换银币, 15 就用绳索做成鞭子把牛羊赶出去,倒掉钱商的银币,推翻他们的桌子, 16 又对卖鸽子的说:“把这些东西拿出去!不要把我父的殿当作市场。” 17 祂的门徒想起圣经上说:“我对你的殿充满炙热的爱。”

18 当时,犹太人质问祂:“你给我们显什么神迹来证明你有权这样做?”

19 耶稣回答说:“你们拆毁这座殿,我三天之内会把它重建起来。”

20 他们说:“这座殿用了四十六年才建成,你三天之内就要把它重建起来吗?” 21 其实耶稣说的殿是指自己的身体, 22 所以等到祂从死里复活以后,祂的门徒想起这句话,就相信了圣经和耶稣所传的道。

23 耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节期间,许多人看见祂行的神迹,就信了祂。 24 耶稣却不信任他们,因为祂洞悉万人。 25 不用别人告诉祂,祂也深知人的内心。

變水為酒

第三天,在加利利的迦拿有人舉辦婚宴,耶穌的母親在那裡。 耶穌和門徒也被邀請去赴宴。 酒喝完了,耶穌的母親就對祂說:「他們沒有酒了。」 耶穌說:「婦人,這跟你我有什麼相干[a]?我的時候還沒有到。」 祂母親對僕人說:「祂叫你們做什麼,你們就做什麼。」 那裡有六口猶太人用來行潔淨禮儀的石缸,每口可以盛約一百升水。

耶穌對僕人說:「把缸倒滿水!」他們就往缸裡倒水,一直滿到缸口。 耶穌又說:「現在可以舀些出來,送給宴席總管。」他們就送了去。 那些僕人知道這酒是怎樣來的,宴席總管卻不知道。他嚐過那水變的酒後,便把新郎叫來, 10 對他說:「人們都是先拿好酒款待客人,等客人喝夠了,才把次等的拿出來,你卻把好酒留到現在!」 11 這是耶穌第一次行神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,彰顯了祂的榮耀,門徒都信了祂。

12 這事以後,耶穌和祂的母親、弟弟並門徒一起去迦百農住了幾天。

潔淨聖殿

13 猶太人的逾越節快到了,耶穌便上耶路撒冷去。 14 祂看見聖殿區有人在賣牛羊和鴿子,還有人在兌換銀幣, 15 就用繩索做成鞭子把牛羊趕出去,倒掉錢商的銀幣,推翻他們的桌子, 16 又對賣鴿子的說:「把這些東西拿出去!不要把我父的殿當作市場。」 17 祂的門徒想起聖經上說:「我對你的殿充滿炙熱的愛。」

18 當時,猶太人質問祂:「你給我們顯什麼神蹟來證明你有權這樣做?」

19 耶穌回答說:「你們拆毀這座殿,我三天之內會把它重建起來。」

20 他們說:「這座殿用了四十六年才建成,你三天之內就要把它重建起來嗎?」 21 其實耶穌說的殿是指自己的身體, 22 所以等到祂從死裡復活以後,祂的門徒想起這句話,就相信了聖經和耶穌所傳的道。

23 耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節期間,許多人看見祂行的神蹟,就信了祂。 24 耶穌卻不信任他們,因為祂洞悉萬人。 25 不用別人告訴祂,祂也深知人的內心。

  1. 2·4 這跟你我有什麼相干」或譯「我與你有什麼相干」。

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

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.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

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)

Water Turned to Wine

On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.

Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, (G)according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted (H)the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11 This (I)beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, (J)and [a]manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

12 After this He went down to (K)Capernaum, He, His mother, (L)His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(M)

13 (N)Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 (O)And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers [b]doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make (P)My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, (Q)“Zeal for Your house [c]has eaten Me up.”

18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, (R)“What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”

19 Jesus answered and said to them, (S)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He was speaking (T)of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, (U)His disciples remembered that He had said this [d]to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

The Discerner of Hearts

23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the (V)signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He (W)knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for (X)He knew what was in man.
