The Wedding at Cana
1#Jn 4:46; 21:2On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there. 2Both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4#Jn 7:6; 7:30Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6#Jn 3:25Six water pots made of stone were sitting there, used for ceremonial cleansing by the Jews, containing twenty to thirty gallons#Gk. 2 to 3 metretes, or 75 to 115 liters. each.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8Then He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast.”
And they took it. 9#Jn 4:46When the master of the feast tasted the water that had been turned into wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who drew the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom, 10and he said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and after men have drunk freely, then the poor wine is served. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
11#Jn 1:14; 3:2This, the first of His signs, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12#Mt 12:46; 4:13After this He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples went down to Capernaum. They remained there a few days.
The Cleansing of the Temple
Mt 21:12–17; Mk 11:15–17; Lk 19:45–48
13#Lk 2:41; Jn 11:55The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14#Mk 11:15; Lk 19:45–46In the temple He found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there. 15When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. He poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16#Lk 2:49He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17#Ps 69:9His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”#Ps 69:9.
18#Jn 6:30Then the Jews said to Him, “What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?”
19#Mt 27:40; Mk 14:58Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21#1Co 6:19; Jn 1:14But He was speaking concerning the temple of His body. 22#Jn 12:16; 14:26Therefore, when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them. And they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
Jesus Knows All Men
23#Jn 3:2Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. 24#Mt 9:4; Jn 5:42But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25and did not need anyone to bear witness of man, for He knew what was in man.

The Wedding in Cana
1Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine had given out, Jesus' mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”
4 “You must not tell me what to do,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5Jesus' mother then told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6The Jews have rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone water jars were there, each one large enough to hold about a hundred litres. 7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill these jars with water.” They filled them to the brim, 8and then he told them, “Now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” They took him the water, 9which now had turned into wine, and he tasted it. He did not know where this wine had come from (but, of course, the servants who had drawn out the water knew); so he called the bridegroom 10and said to him, “Everyone else serves the best wine first, and after the guests have had plenty to drink, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until now!”
11Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee; there he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Mt 4.13
After this, Jesus and his mother, brothers, and disciples went to Capernaum and stayed there a few days.
Jesus Goes to the Temple
(Mt 21.12–13; Mk 11.15–17; Lk 19.45–46)
13 #
Ex 12.1–27
It was almost time for the Passover Festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14There in the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons, and also the moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15So he made a whip from cords and drove all the animals out of the Temple, both the sheep and the cattle; he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins; 16and he ordered those who sold the pigeons, “Take them out of here! Stop making my Father's house a market place!” 17#Ps 69.9His disciples remembered that the scripture says, “My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire.”
18The Jewish authorities replied with a question, “What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?”

Mt 26.61; 27.40; Mk 14.58; 15.29 Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again.”
20“Are you going to build it again in three days?” they asked him. “It has taken 46 years to build this Temple!”
21But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body. 22So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
Jesus' Knowledge of Human Nature
23While Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival, many believed in him as they saw the miracles he performed. 24But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all. 25There was no need for anyone to tell him about them, because he himself knew what was in their hearts.
