On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.
When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled,
Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so,
They did so,
he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over.
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
“A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Jesus Clears the Temple
It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money.
So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables.
To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”
The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.”
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
“All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”
“What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?”
But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.
Jesus and Nicodemus
Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.
