2.23 Cum autem. Conventus adibat, ut verbis et signis plures converteret. Et quia aliqui solis signis moti credebant in eum, vere quidem, sed tamen ita, ut possent postea in passione ejus scandalizari, et quia nondum erant renati ex aqua et spiritu, non erant digni quibus se crederet Jesus, et familiariter cohabitaret. Sciebat enim quid esset in illis, melius quam ipse homo de se. Hæc fides convenit catechumenis, qui credunt in eum, sed quia non sunt renati, non creditur eis communio corporis et sanguinis Christi. De talibus erat Nicodemus, qui credens dicit eum a Deo venisse, propter signa quæ viderat, sed nondum renatus erat, et ideo nocte venit, non die, quia nondum illuminatus cœlesti lumine.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-25 In this section, Jesus appeared at two symbolic Jewish ceremonies. At a wedding in Cana (2:1-12), he replaced the ritual cleansing water with his own superior wine. Later, around Passover, he cleansed the Temple (2:13-25).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

ὡς δὲ ἦν ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις

when and ˱he˲_was in ¬the Jerusalem

Now here introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after the previous events this new event happened. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: “Some time later in Jerusalem”

ἐν τῷ Πάσχα ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ

in at the Passover at the feast

These two phrases could refer to: (1) two different parts of the festival, the Passover referring to the first day of the festival, and the festival referring to the Festival of Unleavened Bread that begins at Passover and was one week long. Alternate translation: “at the Passover, during the Festival of Unleavened Bread” (2) the same event. Alternate translation: “at the Passover festival”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπίστευσαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

believed on the name ˱of˲_him

Here, name represents the person of Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “believed in him” or “trusted in him”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

θεωροῦντες αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα

observing ˱of˲_him the signs

Here, seeing indicates the reason why the people were believing in Jesus. These people were only believing in Jesus because of the miracles he performed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “because they saw his signs”

τὰ σημεῖα

the signs

See how you translated signs in 2:11. See also the discussion of signs in Part 3 of the General Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: “significant miracles”
