Joh 2:1-12.
FIRST MIRACLE, WATER MADE WINE--BRIEF VISIT TO CAPERNAUM.
1. third day--He would take two days to reach Galilee, and this was the third.
mother there--it being probably some relative's marriage. John never names her [BENGEL].

3. 沒有酒了——顯然期待祂彰顯一些榮耀，並暗示現在正是祂的時候。
英文原文
3. no wine--evidently expecting some display of His glory, and hinting that now was His time.

4、5. 婦人——在那時代的語言中並非不敬之詞
（約19:26）。
與我何干——即「在我父的事上，我只與祂有關。」這是對多管閒事的干預溫和的責備，因她介入了所有受造者都被排除在外的領域（參
徒4:19、20）。
我的時候等等——暗示祂會有所行動，但要照祂自己的時候；她也如此領會了
（約2:5）。
英文原文
4, 5. Woman--no term of disrespect in the language of that day
(Joh 19:26).
what . . . to do with thee--that is, "In my Father's business I have to do with Him only." It was a gentle rebuke for officious interference, entering a region from which all creatures were excluded (compare
Ac 4:19, 20).
mine hour, &c.--hinting that He would do something, but at His own time; and so she understood it
(Joh 2:5).

6. 水缸——猶太度量約七加侖半，或亞提卡度量九加侖；因此這些大水缸每個約盛二十多加侖，供這類宴席潔淨之用
（可7:4）。
英文原文
6. firkins--about seven and a half gallons in Jewish, or nine in Attic measure; each of these huge water jars, therefore, holding some twenty or more gallons, for washings at such feasts
(Mr 7:4).

7、8. 倒滿……舀……送——祂指揮一切，但自己甚麼都不碰，以防有任何串通的嫌疑。
英文原文
7, 8. Fill . . . draw . . . bear--directing all, but Himself touching nothing, to prevent all appearance of collusion.

9、10. 喝足了——「大量地喝」（如
歌5:1），
指一般性的做法。
英文原文
9, 10. well drunk--"drunk abundantly" (as
So 5:1),
speaking of the general practice.

10. 好酒……留到如今——他雖然不知道供應的來源，卻這樣見證，這不僅是真正的酒，而且比宴席上任何酒都好。
英文原文
10. the good wine . . . until now--thus testifying, while ignorant of the source of supply, not only that it was real wine, but better than any at the feast.

11. 顯出祂的榮耀來——對先知或使徒的神蹟，絕沒有絲毫類似的話，若用於任何純粹的受造者，便是明顯的褻瀆。當注意，（一）基督在一個婚筵上首次公開在任何人群中露面，並在一個婚筵上施行了祂的第一個神蹟——這是對那神所設立的制度所能給予的最崇高的認可。（二）正如這神蹟不是使壞的變好，而是使好的更好，照樣基督教只是救贖、聖化並提升那蒙福卻被濫用的婚姻制度；而基督的全部工作也不過是將地上的水變為天上的酒。因此，「這頭一件神蹟」展示了祂整個使命的特徵，並「顯出祂的榮耀來」。（三）正如基督認可了我們歡樂的季節，也認可了適合這些場合的更大豐盛；祂遠非鼓勵那後來常被當作全部宗教的苦行主義。（四）羅馬天主教所歸於童貞女的特性和權威，正與此處及其他經文相抵觸。
英文原文
11. manifested forth his glory--Nothing in the least like this is said of the miracles of prophet or apostle, nor could without manifest blasphemy be said of any mere creature. Observe, (1) At a marriage Christ made His first public appearance in any company, and at a marriage He wrought His first miracle--the noblest sanction that could be given to that God-given institution. (2) As the miracle did not make bad good, but good better, so Christianity only redeems, sanctifies, and ennobles the beneficent but abused institution of marriage; and Christ's whole work only turns the water of earth into the wine of heaven. Thus "this beginning of miracles" exhibited the character and "manifested forth the glory" of His entire Mission. (3) As Christ countenanced our seasons of festivity, so also that greater fulness which befits such; so far was He from encouraging that asceticism which has since been so often put for all religion. (4) The character and authority ascribed by Romanists to the Virgin is directly in the teeth of this and other scriptures.

12. 迦百農——在加利利海邊。（參
太9:1
的註釋。）
祂母親和祂的弟兄們——（參
路2:51
的註釋，
並
太13:54-56）。
英文原文
12. Capernaum--on the Sea of Galilee. (See on
Mt 9:1).
his mother and his brethren--(See on
Lu 2:51,
and
Mt 13:54-56).

Joh 2:13-25.
約2:13-25.
基督的第一個逾越節——首次潔淨聖殿。
英文原文
Joh 2:13-25.
CHRIST'S FIRST PASSOVER--FIRST CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE.
14

14-17. 在殿裡——不是聖殿本身，如
約2:19-21，
而是殿院。
賣牛等等——為那些要獻祭之人提供便利。
兌換銀錢之人——將羅馬錢幣兌換為猶太錢幣，因為殿稅（參
太17:24
的註釋）
必須以猶太錢幣繳納。
英文原文
14-17. in the temple--not the temple itself, as
Joh 2:19-21,
but the temple-court.
sold oxen, &c.--for the convenience of those who had to offer them in sacrifice.
changers of money--of Roman into Jewish money, in which the temple dues (see on
Mt 17:24)
had to be paid.

15. 繩子——可能是那些鋪作臥具的燈心草，擰成後用以拴繫聚集在那裡的牲畜。「不是藉這細小的鞭子，而是藉神聖的威嚴完成了趕逐，鞭子不過是神聖忿怒之鞭的記號」〔GROTIUS〕。
倒出來……推翻——以此表達這衝動中混合的憤慨與權威。
英文原文
15. small cords--likely some of the rushes spread for bedding, and when twisted used to tie up the cattle there collected. "Not by this slender whip but by divine majesty was the ejection accomplished, the whip being but a sign of the scourge of divine anger" [GROTIUS].
poured out . . . overthrew--thus expressing the mingled indignation and authority of the impulse.

16. 我父的殿——這些非凡的話與
路2:49
何等相似；同樣的對聖殿內在關係的意識——聖殿是祂父最崇高敬拜的所在，也是地上一切當歸於祂的象徵——支配著兩段話。只是，當祂還是少年、沒有權柄時，祂只是「在自己家裡的兒子」；如今祂是「治理自己家的兒子」
（來3:6），
是祂父權利的正當代表，也是在肉身中的「後嗣」。
買賣的地方——買賣本身並沒有錯；但為了自己和別人的方便，將買賣帶進那最神聖的地方，是耶穌的眼目所不能容忍的公然褻瀆。
英文原文
16. my Father's house--How close the resemblance of these remarkable words to
Lu 2:49;
the same consciousness of intrinsic relation to the temple--as the seat of His Father's most august worship, and so the symbol of all that is due to Him on earth--dictating both speeches. Only, when but a youth, with no authority, He was simply "a SON IN His own house"; now He was "a SON OVER His own house"
(Heb 3:6),
the proper Representative, and in flesh "the Heir," of his Father's rights.
house of merchandise--There was nothing wrong in the merchandise; but to bring it, for their own and others' convenience, into that most sacred place, was a high-handed profanation which the eye of Jesus could not endure.

17. 心裡焦急，如同火燒——這是預言中受苦彌賽亞性格的一個榮耀特徵
（詩69:9），
甚至在一些不配解祂鞋帶的人身上也同樣高昂。
（出32:19
等等。）
英文原文
17. eaten me up--a glorious feature in the predicted character of the suffering Messiah
(Ps 69:9),
and rising high even in some not worthy to loose the latchet of His shoes.
(Ex 32:19,
&c.).

18-22. 祢既做這些事，還顯甚麼神蹟給我們看呢？——雖然基督的行動和言語合起來已是足夠的神蹟，他們卻不信：然而他們被震懾，雖然在祂下一次到耶路撒冷時，他們因祂說「祂的父」而「想要殺祂」，正如祂現在一樣
（約5:18），
但在這早期，他們只是求一個神蹟。
英文原文
18-22. What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?--Though the act and the words of Christ, taken together, were sign enough, they were unconvinced: yet they were awed, and though at His very next appearance at Jerusalem they "sought to kill Him" for speaking of "His Father" just as He did now
(Joh 5:18),
they, at this early stage, only ask a sign.

21. 祂的身體為殿——其中供奉著永遠之道的榮耀。（參
約1:14
的註釋。）
藉著復活，地上真正的神的殿被建起來，石頭的殿不過是其影子；因此這指涉並非完全只限於祂自己，也包含了那以祂為根基、一切信徒為「活石」的殿
（彼前2:4、5）。
英文原文
21. temple of his body--in which was enshrined the glory of the eternal Word. (See on
Joh 1:14).
By its resurrection the true Temple of God upon earth was reared up, of which the stone one was but a shadow; so that the allusion is not quite exclusively to Himself, but takes in that Temple of which He is the foundation, and all believers are the "lively stones."
(1Pe 2:4, 5).
22
無標題
22. 相信了聖經——關於這主題；即其意義，這對他們是隱藏的，直到那時。當注意（一）基督在聖殿首次公開露面所標誌的行動。祂「把簸箕拿在手裡，潔淨祂的場」，雖然不徹底，卻足以預示祂對那不信之民的最後行動——將他們從神的家中掃出。（二）祂這樣做的權柄記號，是在祂事奉一開始就宣告那將要由他們的手所造成的死，以及祂自己的復活——這些將為他們被司法性地驅逐鋪路。
英文原文
22. believed the scripture--on this subject; that is, what was meant, which was hid from them till then. Mark (1) The act by which Christ signalized His first public appearance in the Temple. Taking "His fan in His hand, He purges His floor," not thoroughly indeed, but enough to foreshadow His last act towards that faithless people--to sweep them out of God's house. (2) The sign of His authority to do this is the announcement, at this first outset of His ministry, of that coming death by their hands, and resurrection by His own, which were to pave the way for their judicial ejection.

23-25. 在節期之內——上述事件大概發生在節期開始之前。
有許多人信了——只是膚淺地信了，僅僅因「祂所行的神蹟」而受感動。關於這些，我們沒有任何記載。
英文原文
23-25. in the feast day--the foregoing things occurring probably before the feast began.
many believed--superficially, struck merely by "the miracles He did." Of these we have no record.

24. 不將自己交託他們——「交託」，或放鬆自己與他們親近交往，像對待祂真正的門徒那樣。
英文原文
24. did not commit--"entrust," or let Himself down familiarly to them, as to His genuine disciples.
25
無標題
25. 知道人心裡所存的——沒有任何話語能比這更清楚地論到基督的事，而耶17:9-10以及其他經文卻明明否認任何受造之物具有這樣的能力。
英文原文
25. knew what was in man--It is impossible for language more clearly to assert of Christ what in
Jer 17:9, 10,
and elsewhere, is denied of all mere creatures.
約2:1-12。
第一個神蹟——水變為酒——短暫訪問迦百農。
1. 第三日——祂要花兩天才能到加利利，這是第三天。
母親在那裏——大概是某個親屬的婚禮。約翰從不提她的名字[BENGEL]。
