约翰福音 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
迦拿的婚筵
2 第三天，在加利利的迦拿有婚筵，耶穌的母親在那裡； 2 耶穌和門徒也被邀請參加婚筵。 3 酒用盡了，耶穌的母親對他說：“他們沒有酒了。” 4 耶穌說：“母親（“母親”原文作“婦人”），我跟你有甚麼關係呢？我的時候還沒有到。” 5 他母親告訴僕人說：“他吩咐你們甚麼，就作甚麼。” 6 在那裡有六口石缸，每口可盛兩三桶水，是為猶太人行潔淨禮用的。 7 耶穌吩咐僕人：“把缸都倒滿水！”他們就倒滿了，直到缸口。 8 耶穌又吩咐他們：“現在舀出來，送給筵席的總管！”他們就送去了。 9 總管嘗了那水變的酒，不知道是從哪裡來的，只有舀水的僕人知道。總管就叫新郎來， 10 對他說：“人人都是先擺上好酒，等到親友喝夠了，才擺上次等的，你倒把好酒留到現在。” 11 這是耶穌所行的第一件神蹟，是在加利利的迦拿行的。他顯出了自己的榮耀，他的門徒就信了他。
12 這事以後，耶穌和母親、弟弟、門徒，都下到迦百農去，在那裡住了沒有幾天。
潔淨聖殿(A)
13 猶太人的逾越節近了，耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。 14 他在聖殿的外院裡看見有賣牛羊鴿子的，和坐在那裡兌換銀錢的， 15 就用繩索做了一條鞭子，把眾人連牛帶羊都從外院趕出去，倒掉兌換銀錢的人的錢，推翻他們的桌子； 16 又對賣鴿子的說：“把這些東西搬出去，不要把我父的殿當作巿場。” 17 他的門徒就想起經上記著：“我為你的殿心中迫切，如同火燒。” 18 猶太人就問他：“你可以顯甚麼神蹟給我們看，證明你有權作這些事呢？” 19 耶穌回答：“你們拆毀這殿，我三天之內要把它建造起來。” 20 猶太人說：“這殿建了四十六年，你三天之內就能把它建造起來嗎？” 21 但耶穌所說的殿，就是他的身體。 22 所以當耶穌從死人中復活以後，門徒想起了他說過這話，就信了聖經和耶穌所說的話。
耶穌知道人的內心
23 耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候，許多人看見他所行的神蹟，就信了他的名。 24 耶穌卻不信任他們，因為他知道所有的人， 25 也不需要誰指證人是怎樣的，因為他知道人心裡存的是甚麼。

迦拿的婚筵
2 第三天，在加利利的迦拿有婚筵，耶稣的母亲在那里； 2 耶稣和门徒也被邀请参加婚筵。 3 酒用尽了，耶稣的母亲对他说：“他们没有酒了。” 4 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。” 5 他母亲告诉仆人说：“他吩咐你们甚么，就作甚么。” 6 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。 7 耶稣吩咐仆人：“把缸都倒满水！”他们就倒满了，直到缸口。 8 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。 9 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。

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。

New King James Version
Water Turned to Wine
2 On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 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. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 9 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.

New Catholic Bible
The First Sign Worked by Jesus
Chapter 2
The Wedding Feast at Cana.[a] 1 On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana[b] in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. 3 When the wine was exhausted, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 Jesus responded, “Woman,[c] what concern is this to us? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now standing nearby there were six stone water jars, of the type used for Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus instructed the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When they had filled them to the brim, 8 he ordered them, “Now draw some out and take it to the chief steward,” and they did so.
9 When the chief steward tasted the water that had become wine, he did not know where it came from, although the servants who had drawn the water knew. The chief steward called over the bridegroom 10 and said, “Everyone serves the choice wine first, and then an inferior vintage when the guests have been drinking for a while. However, you have saved the best wine until now.”[d]
11 Jesus performed this, the first of his signs,[e] at Cana in Galilee, thereby revealing his glory, and his disciples believed in him. 12 After this, he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brethren,[f] and his disciples, and they remained there for a few days.
Worship of the Father in Spirit and Truth[g]
The Mystery of the New Temple
Jesus Casts the Merchants Out of the Temple.[h]13 When the time of the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as money changers seated at their tables. 15 Making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He also overturned the tables of the money changers, scattering their coins, 16 and to those who were selling the doves he ordered, “Take them out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” 17 His disciples recalled the words of Scripture, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
18 The Jews then challenged him, “What sign can you show us to justify your doing this?” 19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews responded, “This temple has taken forty-six years to build, and you are going to raise it up in three days!” 21 But the temple he was talking about was the temple of his body. 22 After he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
The Mystery of the New Covenant
23 Jesus in Jerusalem.[i]While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many people saw the signs he was performing and came to believe in his name. 24 However, Jesus would not entrust himself to them because he fully understood them all. 25 He did not need evidence from others about man, for he clearly understood men.
Footnotes
- John 2:1 The evangelist calls special attention to the presence of the Mother of Jesus. Her role is to call Jesus to the cross and then stand by him in his Passion (Jn 19:25-26).
- John 2:1 Cana was five miles northeast of Nazareth.
- John 2:4 Woman: a universal address from son to mother; it is used again in Jn 19:26, where its meaning becomes evident: Mary is the new Eve, mother of the living (Gen 3:15, 20). My hour has not yet come: the hour is that of Jesus’ glorification and return to the Father (see Jn 7:30; 8:20; 12:23, 27; 13:1; 17:1; 19:27). It is determined by the Father and cannot be anticipated. The miracle worked at Mary’s intercession is a prophetic symbol of it.
- John 2:10 The first wine represents the first Covenant, the second better wine represents the New Covenant. Jesus is prefiguring the Messianic banquet.
- John 2:11 Signs: a term used by John to indicate Jesus’ miracles, emphasizing the significance rather than the marvelous character of the event (see Jn 4:54; 6:14; 9:16; 11:47). These signs reveal Jesus’ glory (Jn 1:14, Isa 35:1-2; Joel 4:18; Am 9:13).
- John 2:12 Brethren: that is, his close relatives. See notes on Mt 12:46-50 and 12:47.
- John 2:13 The author of the fourth Gospel brings us from one Jewish feast to another; he seems to want to make them the points of reference with which to link the discourses of Jesus.
The incidents that follow are therefore connected with the feast of Passover. They attest that Jesus has come to establish a new and spiritual worship that is no longer reserved to a single people or to a place. - John 2:13 Passover is the feast of Unleavened Bread, a sign of renewal (see Ex 12:15). Jesus knows, better than the Prophets (Isa 1:11; Jer 7:4; Am 5:21), that his Father has nothing to do with this traffic in sacrifices and offerings, if the interior gift of the heart is lacking.
In fact, in the evangelist’s view, this temple of stone has already lost its function, and the true dwelling of the Father among human beings will be the humanity of the risen Jesus, who is the focal point of all worship. The construction of the new temple in Jerusalem had been begun by Herod the Great in 20–19 B.C. According to v. 20, then, we are in the year A.D. 27–28. - John 2:23 To be filled with wonder at what Jesus can do, as was Nicodemus, is not yet faith. Faith is acceptance of the testimony of Jesus about God and about the plan of Jesus. Faith is another life, a transformed existence. The flesh—i.e., we with our material and intellectual possibilities—does not have the power to transform our life.
This transformation comes like the wind—mysterious and surprising—the same word in Hebrew and Greek expressing spirit and wind. The idea here is to bring to mind an event (rebirth) in which God alone has the initiative. Only those who open themselves to the Spirit, those who want to be reborn in Baptism and transformed as children of God, can believe in the new life that Jesus reveals and whose source is the Spirit—for they live it as by a gift.
