约翰福音 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
变水为酒
2 第三天,在加利利的迦拿有人举办婚宴,耶稣的母亲在那里。 2 耶稣和门徒也被邀请去赴宴。 3 酒喝完了,耶稣的母亲就对祂说:“他们没有酒了。” 4 耶稣说:“妇人,这跟你我有什么相干[a]?我的时候还没有到。” 5 祂母亲对仆人说:“祂叫你们做什么,你们就做什么。” 6 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。
7 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。 8 耶稣又说:“现在可以舀些出来,送给宴席总管。”他们就送了去。 9 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。

The Voice
2 Three days later, they all went to celebrate a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was invited 2 together with Him and His disciples. 3 While they were celebrating, the wine ran out; and Jesus’ mother hurried over to her son.
Mary: The host stands on the brink of embarrassment; there are many guests, and there is no more wine.
Jesus: 4 Dear woman, is it our problem they miscalculated when buying wine and inviting guests? My time has not arrived.
5 But she turned to the servants.
Mary: Do whatever my son tells you.
6 In that area were six massive stone water pots that could each hold 20 to 30 gallons.[a] They were typically used for Jewish purification rites. 7 Jesus’ instructions were clear:
Jesus: Fill each water pot with water until it’s ready to spill over the top; 8 then fill a cup, and deliver it to the headwaiter.
They did exactly as they were instructed. 9 After tasting the water that had become wine, the headwaiter couldn’t figure out where such wine came from (even though the servants knew), and he called over the bridegroom in amazement.
Headwaiter: 10 This wine is delectable. Why would you save the most exquisite fruit of the vine? A host would generally serve the good wine first and, when his inebriated guests don’t notice or care, he would serve the inferior wine. You have held back the best for last.
11 Jesus performed this miracle, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee. They did not know how this happened; but when the disciples and the servants witnessed this miracle, their faith blossomed.
With a wedding as the setting of Jesus’ first sign, John shows how Jesus’ ministry isn’t limited to just “spiritual” things, but is His blessing for all of life.
12 Jesus then gathered His clan—His family members and disciples—for a journey to Capernaum where they lingered several days. 13 The time was near to celebrate the Passover, the festival commemorating when God rescued His children from slavery in Egypt, so Jesus went to Jerusalem for the celebration. 14 Upon arriving, He entered the temple to worship. But the porches and colonnades were filled with merchants selling sacrificial animals (such as doves, oxen, and sheep) and exchanging money. 15 Jesus fashioned a whip of cords and used it with skill driving out animals; He scattered the money and overturned the tables, emptying profiteers from the house of God. 16 There were dove merchants still standing around, and Jesus reprimanded them.
Jesus: What are you still doing here? Get all your stuff, and haul it out of here! Stop making My Father’s house a place for your own profit!
17 The disciples were astounded, but they remembered that the Hebrew Scriptures said, “Jealous devotion for God’s house consumes me.”[b] 18 Some of the Jews cried out to Him in unison.
Jews: Who gave You the right to shut us down? If it is God, then show us a sign.
Jesus: 19 You want a sign? Here it is. Destroy this temple, and I will rebuild it in 3 days.
Jews: 20 Three days? This temple took more than 46 years to complete. You think You can replicate that feat in 3 days?
21 The true temple was His body. 22 His disciples remembered this bold prediction after He was resurrected. Because of this knowledge, their faith in the Hebrew Scriptures and in Jesus’ teachings grew.
23 During the Passover feast in Jerusalem, the crowds were watching Jesus closely; and many began to believe in Him because of the signs He was doing. 24-25 But Jesus saw through to the heart of humankind, and He chose not to give them what they requested. He didn’t need anyone to prove to Him the character of humanity. He knew what man was made of.

New International Version
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 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)
Johannes 2
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Jesus udfører sit første mirakuløse tegn
2 To dage senere var Jesu mor med ved et bryllup i byen Kana i Galilæa. 2 Jesus og hans disciple var også indbudt. 3 Under festen slap vinen op, og Jesu mor kom hen til ham og sagde: „Der er ikke mere vin.”
4 „Lad mig være i fred, mor,” sagde han. „Tiden er ikke inde endnu.” 5 Men hans mor gik hen til tjenerne og sagde: „Lige meget hvad han siger til jer, skal I bare gøre det!”
6 Der stod seks store vandkrukker i huset, som på grund af de jødiske renhedslove var lavet af sten.[a] De rummede hver ca. 100 liter. 7 Jesus bad tjenerne om at fylde dem med vand. Da de havde fyldt dem til randen, 8 sagde han: „Øs nu noget op og gå hen til den ansvarlige for festen, så han kan smage på det.” 9 Det gjorde de så, og han smagte på vandet, der nu var forvandlet til vin. Da han ikke vidste, hvor det kom fra—for det var kun tjenerne, der vidste det—kaldte han på brudgommen 10 og sagde: „Man plejer ellers at servere den fine vin først, og senere, når folk er kommet lidt i stemning, den billige vin. Hvorfor har du gemt den fine vin til nu?”
11 Det mirakel, som Jesus udførte i Kana i Galilæa, var det første tegn på hans autoritet og magt, og hans disciple troede på, at han virkelig var sendt af Gud.
12 Derefter tog han til Kapernaum sammen med sin mor, sine brødre og sine disciple, og dér blev de nogle dage.
Den første tempeludrensning
13 Nu nærmede den jødiske påske sig, og Jesus tog til Jerusalem for at deltage i højtiden. 14 Inde på selve tempelpladsen så han en masse mennesker, som solgte offerdyr. Der var både køer, får og duer. Nogle af de handlende sad ved små borde og vekslede penge. 15 Da lavede Jesus sig en pisk af reb og jog alle fårene og køerne ud. Han vendte bunden i vejret på valutahandlernes pengeposer og væltede deres borde. 16 Til dem, der solgte duer, råbte han: „Pak jeres ting sammen og forsvind!” „I må ikke gøre min Fars hus til en markedsplads.” 17 Da hans disciple så, hvad han gjorde, kom de i tanker om det ord i Skriften,[b] der siger: „Jeg brænder af nidkærhed for dit Hus.”
18 De jødiske ledere protesterede: „Hvem har givet dig lov til at jage folk ud af templet? Kan du gøre et mirakel som tegn på, at du handler på Guds vegne?”
19 Jesus svarede: „Ja, det kan jeg godt. Hvis I ødelægger Guds bolig, så vil jeg rejse den igen inden tre dage.”
20 „Det har taget 46 år at bygge Guds bolig,” indvendte de jødiske ledere, „og så vil du rejse den igen inden tre dage!”
21 Den „Guds bolig”, Jesus hentydede til, var ikke templet, men hans eget legeme. 22 Efter at han var opstået fra de døde, kom hans disciple i tanke om, at han havde sagt det. Da forstod de, hvad han mente, og de kom til tro på Skriftens ord.
23 På grund af de mirakler, Jesus gjorde i Jerusalem under påskehøjtiden, var der mange mennesker, der blev overbeviste om, at han måtte være Messias. 24-25 Men Jesus betroede sig ikke til dem,[c] for han vidste, hvad der bor i mennesket. Han havde ikke brug for nogen til at fortælle ham det.
