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。

The Wedding at Cana
2 Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. 2 Jesus and his followers were also invited to the wedding. 3 When all the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 Jesus answered, “Dear woman, why come to me? My time has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you to do.”
6 In that place there were six stone water jars. The Jews used jars like these in their washing ceremony.[a] Each jar held about 20 or 30 gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled the jars to the top.
8 Then he said to them, “Now take some out and give it to the master of the feast.”
So the servants took the water to the master. 9 When he tasted it, the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine came from. But the servants who brought the water knew. The master of the wedding called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “People always serve the best wine first. Later, after the guests have been drinking a lot, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine till now.”
11 So in Cana of Galilee, Jesus did his first miracle. There he showed his glory, and his followers believed in him.
Jesus in the Temple
12 Then Jesus went to the town of Capernaum with his mother, brothers and his followers. They all stayed in Capernaum for a few days. 13 But it was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast. So Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 In the Temple he found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging money. 15 Jesus made a whip out of cords. Then he forced all these men, with the sheep and cattle, to leave the Temple. He turned over the tables and scattered the money of the men who were exchanging it. 16 Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place for buying and selling!”
17 When this happened the followers remembered what was written in the Scriptures: “My strong love for your Temple completely controls me.”[b]
18 The Jews said to Jesus, “Show us a miracle for a sign. Prove that you have the right to do these things.”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and I will build it again in three days.”
20 The Jews answered, “Men worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?”
21 (But the temple Jesus meant was his own body. 22 After Jesus was raised from death, his followers remembered that Jesus had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the words Jesus said.)
23 Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Feast. Many people believed in him because they saw the miracles he did. 24 But Jesus did not believe in them because he knew them all. 25 He did not need anyone to tell him about people. Jesus knew what was in a person’s mind.

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)
