The First Sign: Turning Water into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place in Cana(A) of Galilee.(B) Jesus’ mother(C) was there, and 2 Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They don’t have any wine.”
4 “What has this concern of yours to do with Me,[a](D) woman?”(E) Jesus asked. “My hour[b] has not yet come.”
5 “Do whatever He tells you,” His mother told the servants.
6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification.(F) Each contained 20 or 30 gallons.[c]
7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then He said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the chief servant.”[d] And they did.
9 When the chief servant 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 have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”
11 Jesus performed this first sign[e] in Cana(G) of Galilee.(H) He displayed(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 Complex
13 The Jewish Passover(M) was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(N) 14 In the temple complex(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 complex 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!”[f](T)
17 And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal(U) for Your house will consume(V) Me.(W)[g]
18 So the Jews replied to Him, “What sign of authority will You show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this sanctuary,(X) and I will raise it up in three days.”(Y)
20 Therefore the Jews said, “This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?”(Z)
21 But He was speaking about the sanctuary 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) at the Passover Festival,(AF) many trusted 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)

約翰福音 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
耶穌在迦拿變水為酒
2 第三日，在加利利的迦拿有娶親的筵席，耶穌的母親在那裡。 2 耶穌和他的門徒也被請去赴席。 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[a]，我與你有什麼相干？我的時候還沒有到。」 5 他母親對用人說：「他告訴你們什麼，你們就做什麼。」 6 照猶太人潔淨的規矩，有六口石缸擺在那裡，每口可以盛兩三桶水。 7 耶穌對用人說：「把缸倒滿了水。」他們就倒滿了，直到缸口。 8 耶穌又說：「現在可以舀出來，送給管筵席的。」他們就送了去。 9 管筵席的嘗了那水變的酒，並不知道是哪裡來的，只有舀水的用人知道。管筵席的便叫新郎來， 10 對他說：「人都是先擺上好酒，等客喝足了才擺上次的，你倒把好酒留到如今！」 11 這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟，是在加利利的迦拿行的，顯出他的榮耀來，他的門徒就信他了。
12 這事以後，耶穌與他的母親、弟兄和門徒都下迦百農去，在那裡住了不多幾日。
潔淨聖殿
13 猶太人的逾越節近了，耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。 14 看見殿裡有賣牛、羊、鴿子的，並有兌換銀錢的人坐在那裡， 15 耶穌就拿繩子做成鞭子，把牛羊都趕出殿去，倒出兌換銀錢之人的銀錢，推翻他們的桌子， 16 又對賣鴿子的說：「把這些東西拿去，不要將我父的殿當做買賣的地方！」 17 他的門徒就想起經上記著說：「我為你的殿心裡焦急，如同火燒。」
耶穌以殿譬己身
18 因此猶太人問他說：「你既做這些事，還顯什麼神蹟給我們看呢？」 19 耶穌回答說：「你們拆毀這殿，我三日內要再建立起來。」 20 猶太人便說：「這殿是四十六年才造成的，你三日內就再建立起來嗎？」 21 但耶穌這話是以他的身體為殿。 22 所以到他從死裡復活以後，門徒就想起他說過這話，便信了聖經和耶穌所說的。
23 當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候，有許多人看見他所行的神蹟，就信了他的名。 24 耶穌卻不將自己交託他們，因為他知道萬人， 25 也用不著誰見證人怎樣，因他知道人心裡所存的。

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.
