迦拿的婚筵

第三天,在加利利的迦拿有婚筵,耶穌的母親在那裡; 耶穌和門徒也被邀請參加婚筵。 酒用盡了,耶穌的母親對他說:“他們沒有酒了。” 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。” 他母親告訴僕人說:“他吩咐你們甚麼,就作甚麼。” 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。 耶穌吩咐僕人:“把缸都倒滿水!”他們就倒滿了,直到缸口。 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。 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。

The First Sign: Turning Water into Wine

On the third day a wedding took place in Cana(A) of Galilee.(B) Jesus’s mother(C) was there, and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, ‘They don’t have any wine.’

‘What has this concern of yours to do with me,[a](D) woman? ’(E) Jesus asked. ‘My hour has not yet come.’

‘Do whatever he tells you,’ his mother told the servants.

Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification.(F) Each contained eighty or one hundred and twenty litres.[b]

‘Fill the jars with water,’ Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the head waiter.’[c] And they did.

When the head waiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from – though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom 10 and told him, ‘Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.’

11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana(G) of Galilee.(H) He revealed(I) his glory,(J) and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, he went down to Capernaum,(K) together with his mother, his brothers,(L) and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.

Cleansing the Temple

13 The Jewish Passover(M) was near, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(N) 14 In the temple(O) he found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money-changers sitting there. 15 After making a whip out of cords,(P) he drove everyone out of the temple with their sheep(Q) and oxen. He also poured out the money-changers’ coins and overturned the tables. 16 He told those who were selling doves, ‘Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s(R) house(S) into a marketplace! ’[d](T)

17 And his disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal(U) for your house will consume(V) me.[e](W)

18 So the Jews replied to him, ‘What sign will you show us for doing these things? ’

19 Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this temple,[f](X) and I will raise it up in three days.’(Y)

20 Therefore the Jews said, ‘This temple took forty-six years to build,[g] and will you raise it up in three days? ’(Z)

21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.(AA) 22 So when he was raised from the dead,(AB) his disciples remembered that he had said this,(AC) and they believed the Scripture(AD) and the statement Jesus had made.

23 While he was in Jerusalem(AE) during the Passover Festival,(AF) many believed in his name(AG) when they saw the signs he was doing. 24 Jesus, however, would not entrust himself to them, since he knew them all 25 and because he did not need anyone to testify about man; for he himself knew what was in man.(AH)

Water Turned to Wine

On the third day there was a (A)wedding in (B)Cana of Galilee, and the (C)mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

Jesus said to her, (D)“Woman, (E)what does your concern have to do with Me? (F)My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.

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. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 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.
