The Wedding at Cana
2 And on (A)the third day there was a wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His (D)disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus *said to her, “(E)Woman, [a](F)what do I have to do with you? (G)My hour has not yet come.” 5 His (H)mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were six stone water jars set there (I)for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [b]two or three measures each. 7 Jesus *said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 Now when the headwaiter tasted the water (J)which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom, 10 and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people (K)have [c]drunk freely, then the inferior wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this in Cana of (L)Galilee as the beginning of His [d](M)signs, and manifested His (N)glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 After this He went down to (O)Capernaum, He and His (P)mother and His (Q)brothers and His (R)disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
13 (S)And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus (T)went up to Jerusalem. 14 (U)And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling (V)the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making (W)My Father’s house a [e]place of business.” 17 His (X)disciples remembered that it was written, “(Y)Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 (Z)The Jews then said to Him, “(AA)What sign do You show us [f]as your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “(AB)Destroy this [g]sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 (AC)The Jews then said, “It took (AD)forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking about (AE)the sanctuary of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His (AF)disciples (AG)remembered that He said this; and they believed (AH)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at (AI)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, (AJ)when they saw His signs which He was doing. 24 But Jesus, [h]on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for (AK)He knew all men, 25 and because He had no need that anyone bear witness concerning man, (AL)for He Himself knew what was in man.

約 翰 福 音 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
迦拿的婚礼
2 第三天,加利利的迦拿城里,有人在举行婚礼。耶稣的母亲也在那里, 2 耶稣和他的门徒们也应邀出席。 3 酒都喝光了,耶稣的母亲对他说∶“他们没酒了。”
4 耶稣对她说∶“亲爱的妇人,您为什么告诉我呢?我的时刻还没到呢!”
5 他母亲吩咐仆人们说∶“他叫你们做什么,你们就做什么。”
6 有六口水缸摆在那里,是犹太人在洁净仪式 [a]上用的那种缸,每缸能装大约八十或一百二十升水。
7 耶稣对仆人们说∶“把缸灌满水。”他们便把水缸灌得满满的。
8 耶稣又吩咐仆人说∶“你们舀一些酒拿给管筵席的。”
于是,仆人就把它送了过去, 9 管筵席的尝了尝那已经变成酒的水。(他不知道这酒的来历,只有舀酒的仆人们知道。)管筵席的叫来新郎, 10 对他说∶“人们都是先上最好的酒,等客人喝醉了,然后才上次酒,但是你却把最好的酒留到最后!”
11 这是耶稣在加利利迦拿时,显示的第一个奇迹,他显示出了他的荣耀,门徒们都信仰他了。
耶稣在大殿
12 婚礼之后,耶稣和他母亲、兄弟们,以及门徒们一起到迦百农去了。他们在那里住了几天。 13 快到犹太人的逾越节时,耶稣便启程前往耶路撒冷。 14 在大殿院里,他看到人们在那里卖牛、羊、鸽子,还有一些人坐在桌边为人们兑换钱币, 15 所以,耶稣就用绳子做成一条鞭子,把他们连牛、羊一起都赶了出去,还掀翻了兑换钱币的人的桌子,把钱币撒了一地。 16 然后他又对卖鸽子的人说∶“把这些东西全都拿出去!不要把我父的大殿当成集市!”
17 他的门徒想起《经》上的话:
“对您的大殿的热情,
将把我吞噬掉。” (A)
18 犹太人对耶稣说∶“你用什么奇迹向我们显示你有权做这些事情呢?”
19 耶稣对他们说∶“拆毁这座大殿,我将在三天之内把它重建起来。”
20 犹太人说∶“我们花了四十六年才建成它,你三天之内就能重建它吗?”
21 其实,耶稣所说的大殿,是指他自己的身体。 22 耶稣复活后,他的门徒们想起了他说过的话,他们便相信了《经》和耶稣的话。
23 耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节期间,许多人看到耶稣所行的奇迹,就都信仰了他。 24 但是耶稣却信不过他们, 25 因为他了解人的内心,他不需要任何人告诉他关于人类的事情,因为他知道人类的内心。
