Water Turned to Wine
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.
Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled,
Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
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.
When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
“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!”
And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.
After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
Jesus Clears the Temple
It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money.
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.
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
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!”
And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
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.”
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
“All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
“What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?”
Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.
But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
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.
The Discerner of Hearts
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.
But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,
