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 Message
From Water to Wine
2 1-3 Three days later there was a wedding in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. Jesus and his disciples were guests also. When they started running low on wine at the wedding banquet, Jesus’ mother told him, “They’re just about out of wine.”
4 Jesus said, “Is that any of our business, Mother—yours or mine? This isn’t my time. Don’t push me.”
5 She went ahead anyway, telling the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”
6-7 Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus ordered the servants, “Fill the pots with water.” And they filled them to the brim.
8 “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host,” Jesus said, and they did.
9-10 When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn’t know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, “Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you’ve saved the best till now!”
11 This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum along with his mother, brothers, and disciples, and stayed several days.
Tear Down This Temple . . .
13-14 When the Passover Feast, celebrated each spring by the Jews, was about to take place, Jesus traveled up to Jerusalem. He found the Temple teeming with people selling cattle and sheep and doves. The loan sharks were also there in full strength.
15-17 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right. He told the dove merchants, “Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a shopping mall!” That’s when his disciples remembered the Scripture, “Zeal for your house consumes me.”
18-19 But the Jews were upset. They asked, “What credentials can you present to justify this?” Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple and in three days I’ll put it back together.”
20-22 They were indignant: “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you’re going to rebuild it in three days?” But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple. Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.
23-25 During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him. But Jesus didn’t entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were. He didn’t need any help in seeing right through them.
John 2
King James Version
2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 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.
