가나의 결혼 잔치
2 [a]이틀 후에 갈릴리 가나에 결혼식이 있었다. 예수님의 어머니도 거기 계시고
2 예수님과 제자들도 초대를 받아 갔다.
3 그런데 포도주가 떨어졌다. 그래서 예수님의 어머니가 예수님께 “이 집에 포도주가 떨어졌구나” 하자
4 예수님은 “[b]어머니, 나와 무슨 관계가 있다고 그러십니까? 아직 내 때가 되지 않았습니다” 하고 대답하셨다.
5 그러나 예수님의 어머니는 하인들에게 “무엇이든지 그가 시키는 대로 하여라” 하고 일러 주었다.
6 거기에는 유대인의 정결 의식에 사용되는 돌항아리 여섯 개가 놓여 있었는데 각각 물 두세 [c]통 드는 크기였다.
7 예수님이 하인들에게 “항아리마다 물을 가득 채워라” 하시자 그들은 아구까지 물을 가득 채웠다.
8 그리고 예수님이 하인들에게 “이제 떠다가 잔치 책임자에게 갖다 주어라” 하시자 하인들은 그대로 하였다.
9 잔치 책임자는 [d]물로 된 포도주를 맛보고 어디서 났는지 몰랐으나 그것을 떠 온 하인들은 알고 있었다. 잔치 책임자는 신랑을 불러
10 “흔히 좋은 포도주를 먼저 내놓고 손님들이 취한 뒤에 그보다 못한 것을 내놓는데 당신은 지금까지 좋은 포도주를 남겨 두었군요” 하였다.
11 예수님이 갈릴리 가나에서 처음으로 이런 기적을 행하여 그의 영광을 나타내시자 제자들은 예수님을 믿게 되었다.
12 그 후 예수님은 어머니와 형제들과 제자들과 함께 가버나움으로 내려가 거기서 며칠 동안 머무셨다.
예루살렘 성전에 올라가심
13 유대인의 유월절이 다가오자 예수님은 예루살렘으로 올라가셨다.
14 예수님은 성전 안에 소와 양과 비둘기 파 는 장사꾼들과 돈 바꿔 주는 사람들이 앉아 있는 것을 보시고
15 노끈으로 채찍을 만들어 양과 소를 모두 성전에서 몰아내시고 돈 바꿔 주는 사람들의 돈을 쏟아 버리시며 그들의 상을 둘러엎으셨다.
16 그러고서 비둘기 파는 사람들에게 “이것들을 당장 치우고 앞으로는 내 아버지의 집을 장사하는 집으로 만들지 말아라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
17 그러자 제자들은 [e]“주의 성전을 위하는 열심이 [f]내 속에서 불타오릅니다” 라고 쓰인 성경 말씀이 생각났다.
18 그때 유대인들이 나서서 예수님께 “당신은 무슨 권리로 이런 일을 하시오? 그만한 권리를 가졌다면 이것을 입증할 만한 기적을 우리에게 보여 주시오” 하였다.
19 그래서 예수님은 그들에게 “이 성전을 헐어라. 내가 3일 안에 다시 세우겠다” 하고 대답하셨다.
20 그러자 그들은 “46년이나 걸려 이 성전을 지었는데 당신이 3일 안에 세우겠다는 말이오?” 하고 따져 물었다.
21 그러나 예수님이 말씀하신 성전은 자신의 몸을 가리키신 것이었다.
22 제자들은 예수님이 죽으셨다가 부활하신 후에야 이 말씀을 기억하고 성경과 예수님이 하신 말씀을 믿게 되었다.
23 예수님이 유월절 기간에 예루살렘에 계실 때 그분이 행하시는 기적을 보고 많은 사람들이 예수님을 믿었다.
24 그러나 예수님은 모든 사람을 알고 계셨기 때문에 자신을 그들에게 맡기지 않으셨으며
25 사람의 속 뜻을 아셨기 때문에 어떤 사람에 대해서 누구의 [g]설명을 들으실 필요도 없었다.

Chapter 2
The Wedding at Cana. 1 [a]On the third day there was a wedding[b] in Cana[c] in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.(A) 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 [d][And] Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.”(B) 5 His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.”(C) 6 [e]Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings,(D) each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.”[f] So they took it. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs[g] in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.(E)
12 [h]After this, he and his mother, [his] brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there only a few days.[i]
Cleansing of the Temple. 13 [j]Since the Passover[k] of the Jews was near,(F) Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 [l]He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,[m] as well as the money-changers seated there.(G) 15 He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, 16 and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”(H) 17 [n]His disciples recalled the words of scripture,(I) “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18 At this the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?”(J) 19 Jesus answered and said to them,[o](K) “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years,[p] and you will raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.(L)
23 While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing.(M) 24 But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all, 25 and did not need anyone to testify about human nature. He himself understood it well.(N)
Footnotes
- 2:1–6:71 Signs revealing Jesus as the Messiah to all Israel. “Sign” (sēmeion) is John’s symbolic term for Jesus’ wondrous deeds (see Introduction). The Old Testament background lies in the Exodus story (cf. Dt 11:3; 29:2). John is interested primarily in what the sēmeia signify: God’s intervention in human history in a new way through Jesus.
- 2:1–11 The first sign. This story of replacement of Jewish ceremonial washings (Jn 2:6) presents the initial revelation about Jesus at the outset of his ministry. He manifests his glory; the disciples believe. There is no synoptic parallel.
- 2:1 Cana: unknown from the Old Testament. The mother of Jesus: she is never named in John.
- 2:4 This verse may seek to show that Jesus did not work miracles to help his family and friends, as in the apocryphal gospels. Woman: a normal, polite form of address, but unattested in reference to one’s mother. Cf. also Jn 19:26. How does your concern affect me?: literally, “What is this to me and to you?”—a Hebrew expression of either hostility (Jgs 11:12; 2 Chr 35:21; 1 Kgs 17:18) or denial of common interest (Hos 14:9; 2 Kgs 3:13). Cf. Mk 1:24; 5:7 used by demons to Jesus. My hour has not yet come: the translation as a question (“Has not my hour now come?”), while preferable grammatically and supported by Greek Fathers, seems unlikely from a comparison with Jn 7:6, 30. The “hour” is that of Jesus’ passion, death, resurrection, and ascension (Jn 13:1).
- 2:6 Twenty to thirty gallons: literally, “two or three measures”; the Attic liquid measure contained 39.39 liters. The vast quantity recalls prophecies of abundance in the last days; cf. Am 9:13–14; Hos 14:7; Jer 31:12.
- 2:8 Headwaiter: used of the official who managed a banquet, but there is no evidence of such a functionary in Palestine. Perhaps here a friend of the family acted as master of ceremonies; cf. Sir 32:1.
- 2:11 The beginning of his signs: the first of seven (see Introduction).
- 2:12–3:21 The next three episodes take place in Jerusalem. Only the first is paralleled in the synoptic gospels.
- 2:12 This transitional verse may be a harmonization with the synoptic tradition in Lk 4:31 and Mt 4:13. There are many textual variants. John depicts no extended ministry in Capernaum as do the synoptics.
- 2:13–22 This episode indicates the post-resurrectional replacement of the temple by the person of Jesus.
- 2:13 Passover: this is the first Passover mentioned in John; a second is mentioned in Jn 6:4; a third in Jn 13:1. Taken literally, they point to a ministry of at least two years.
- 2:14–22 The other gospels place the cleansing of the temple in the last days of Jesus’ life (Matthew, on the day Jesus entered Jerusalem; Mark, on the next day). The order of events in the gospel narratives is often determined by theological motives rather than by chronological data.
- 2:14 Oxen, sheep, and doves: intended for sacrifice. The doves were the offerings of the poor (Lv 5:7). Money-changers: for a temple tax paid by every male Jew more than nineteen years of age, with a half-shekel coin (Ex 30:11–16), in Syrian currency. See note on Mt 17:24.
- 2:17 Ps 69:10, changed to future tense to apply to Jesus.
- 2:19 This saying about the destruction of the temple occurs in various forms (Mt 24:2; 27:40; Mk 13:2; 15:29; Lk 21:6; cf. Acts 6:14). Mt 26:61 has: “I can destroy the temple of God…”; see note there. In Mk 14:58, there is a metaphorical contrast with a new temple: “I will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.” Here it is symbolic of Jesus’ resurrection and the resulting community (see Jn 2:21 and Rev 21:2). In three days: an Old Testament expression for a short, indefinite period of time; cf. Hos 6:2.
- 2:20 Forty-six years: based on references in Josephus (Jewish Wars 1:401; Antiquities 15:380), possibly the spring of A.D. 28. Cf. note on Lk 3:1.
