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。

迦拿的婚筵

第三天,在加利利的迦拿有婚筵,耶稣的母亲在那里; 耶稣和门徒也被邀请参加婚筵。 酒用尽了,耶稣的母亲对他说:“他们没有酒了。” 耶稣说:“母亲(“母亲”原文作“妇人”),我跟你有甚么关系呢?我的时候还没有到。” 他母亲告诉仆人说:“他吩咐你们甚么,就作甚么。” 在那里有六口石缸,每口可盛两三桶水,是为犹太人行洁净礼用的。 耶稣吩咐仆人:“把缸都倒满水!”他们就倒满了,直到缸口。 耶稣又吩咐他们:“现在舀出来,送给筵席的总管!”他们就送去了。 总管尝了那水变的酒,不知道是从哪里来的,只有舀水的仆人知道。总管就叫新郎来, 10 对他说:“人人都是先摆上好酒,等到亲友喝够了,才摆上次等的,你倒把好酒留到现在。” 11 这是耶稣所行的第一件神迹,是在加利利的迦拿行的。他显出了自己的荣耀,他的门徒就信了他。

12 这事以后,耶稣和母亲、弟弟、门徒,都下到迦百农去,在那里住了没有几天。

洁净圣殿(A)

13 犹太人的逾越节近了,耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 14 他在圣殿的外院里看见有卖牛羊鸽子的,和坐在那里兑换银钱的, 15 就用绳索做了一条鞭子,把众人连牛带羊都从外院赶出去,倒掉兑换银钱的人的钱,推翻他们的桌子; 16 又对卖鸽子的说:“把这些东西搬出去,不要把我父的殿当作巿场。” 17 他的门徒就想起经上记着:“我为你的殿心中迫切,如同火烧。” 18 犹太人就问他:“你可以显甚么神迹给我们看,证明你有权作这些事呢?” 19 耶稣回答:“你们拆毁这殿,我三天之内要把它建造起来。” 20 犹太人说:“这殿建了四十六年,你三天之内就能把它建造起来吗?” 21 但耶稣所说的殿,就是他的身体。 22 所以当耶稣从死人中复活以后,门徒想起了他说过这话,就信了圣经和耶稣所说的话。

耶稣知道人的内心

23 耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节的时候,许多人看见他所行的神迹,就信了他的名。 24 耶稣却不信任他们,因为他知道所有的人, 25 也不需要谁指证人是怎样的,因为他知道人心里存的是甚么。

And the third day weddings were made in the Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.

And Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the weddings.

And when wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have not wine.

And Jesus saith to her, What to me and to thee, woman? mine hour came not yet.

His mother saith to the ministers, Whatever thing he saith to you, do ye.

And there were set six stone cans, after the cleansing of the Jews, holding each two or three metretes. [Forsooth there were put six stone pots, after the cleansing of Jews, taking each two or three measures.]

And Jesus saith to them, Fill ye the pots with water. And they filled them, up to the mouth. [Jesus saith to them, Fill ye the pots with water. And they filled them unto the highest part.]

And Jesus said to them, Draw ye now, and bear ye to the master of the feast[a]. And they bare.

And when the master of the feast had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whereof it was, but the ministers knew that drew the water[b], the master of the feast calleth the spouse,

10 and saith to him, Each man setteth first good wine, and when men be filled, then that that is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine into this time. [and saith to him, Each man putteth first good wine, and when men shall be full-filled, then that that is worse; soothly thou hast kept good wine till now.]

11 Jesus did this the beginning of signs in the Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After these things he came down to Capernaum, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they dwelled there not many days [and they dwelt there not many days].

13 And the pask of Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And he found in the temple men selling oxen, and sheep, and culvers, and [money-]changers sitting.

15 And when he had made as it were a scourge of small cords, he drove out all of the temple, and oxen, and sheep[c]; and he shedded [out] the money of changers, and turned upside-down the boards.

16 And he said to them that sold culvers, Take away from hence these things, and do not ye make the house of my Father an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples had mind, for it was written, The fervent love of thine house hath eaten me [The zeal, or fervour of love, of thine house hath eaten me].

18 Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token showest thou to us [What sign, or token, showest thou to us], that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple, and in three days I shall raise it.

20 Therefore the Jews said to him, In forty and six years this temple was builded, and shalt thou in three days raise it [In forty and six years this temple is built, and thou in three days shalt raise it]?

21 But he said of the temple of his body.

22 Therefore when he was risen from death, his disciples had mind, that he said these things of his body [Therefore when he had risen from dead men, his disciples had mind, for he said this thing]; and they believed to the scripture, and to the word that Jesus said.

23 And when Jesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did [seeing the signs of him which he did].

24 But Jesus trusted not himself to them, for he knew all men;

25 and for it was not need to him, that any man should bear witnessing of man, for he knew, what was in man.
