Jesus at a Wedding in Cana
1Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.
3When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”
4Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come!#2.4 my time hasn't yet come: The time when the true glory of Jesus would be seen, and he would be recognized as God's Son (see 12.23). You must not tell me what to do.”
5Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters. 7Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled, 8he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over 10and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11This was Jesus' first miracle,#2.11 miracle: The Greek text has “sign.” In the Gospel of John the word “sign” is used for the miracle itself and as a way of pointing to Jesus as the Son of God. and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. 12#Mt 4.13. After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
Jesus in the Temple
(Matthew 21.12,13; Mark 11.15-17; Luke 19.45,46)

Ex 12.1-27. Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.
16Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”

Ps 69.9. The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”
18The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miracle#2.18 miracle: See the note at 2.11. will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 #
Mt 26.61; 27.40; Mk 14.58; 15.29. “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”
20The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles.#2.23 miracle: See the note at 2.11. 24But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.

迦拿的婚禮
1第三日,在加利利的迦拿有娶親的筵席,耶穌的母親在那裏。 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#原文是婦人,我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到。」 5他母親對用人說:「他告訴你們甚麼,你們就做甚麼。」 6照猶太人潔淨的規矩,有六口石缸擺在那裏,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,並不知道是哪裏來的,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,在那裏住了不多幾日。
潔淨聖殿
(太21‧12-13;可11‧15-17;路19‧45-46)
13 猶太人的逾越節近了,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。 14看見殿裏有賣牛、羊、鴿子的,並有兌換銀錢的人坐在那裏, 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!不要將我父的殿當作買賣的地方。」 17他的門徒就想起經上記着說:「我為你的殿心裏焦急,如同火燒。」 18因此猶太人問他說:「你既做這些事,還顯甚麼神蹟給我們看呢?」 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所以到他從死裏復活以後,門徒就想起他說過這話,便信了聖經和耶穌所說的。
耶穌洞悉人心
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也用不着誰見證人怎樣,因他知道人心裏所存的。
