Jesus at a Wedding in Cana
1Three days later Mary, the mother of Jesus, was at a wedding feast in the village of Cana in Galilee. 2Jesus and his disciples had also been invited and were there.
3When the wine was all gone, Mary said to Jesus, “They don't have any more wine.”
4Jesus replied, “Mother, my time hasn't yet come!#2.4 my time hasn't yet come: The time when the true glory of Jesus would be seen, and he would be recognized as God's Son (see 12.23). You must not tell me what to do.”
5Mary then said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.”
6At the feast there were six stone water jars that were used by the people for washing themselves in the way that their religion said they must. Each jar held about 100 liters. 7Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. Then after the jars had been filled, 8he said, “Now take some water and give it to the man in charge of the feast.”
The servants did as Jesus told them, 9and the man in charge drank some of the water that had now turned into wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants did. He called the bridegroom over 10and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”
11This was Jesus' first miracle,#2.11 miracle: The Greek text has “sign.” In the Gospel of John the word “sign” is used for the miracle itself and as a way of pointing to Jesus as the Son of God. and he did it in the village of Cana in Galilee. There Jesus showed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. 12#Mt 4.13. After this, he went with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples to the town of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days.
Jesus in the Temple
(Matthew 21.12,13; Mark 11.15-17; Luke 19.45,46)

Ex 12.1-27. Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple. He also saw moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15So he took some rope and made a whip. Then he chased everyone out of the temple, together with their sheep and cattle. He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins.
16Jesus said to the people who had been selling doves, “Get those doves out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace.”

Ps 69.9. The disciples then remembered that the Scriptures say, “My love for your house burns in me like a fire.”
18The Jewish leaders asked Jesus, “What miracle#2.18 miracle: See the note at 2.11. will you work to show us why you have done this?”
19 #
Mt 26.61; 27.40; Mk 14.58; 15.29. “Destroy this temple,” Jesus answered, “and in three days I will build it again!”
20The leaders replied, “It took 46 years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?”
21But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Jesus Knows What People Are Like
23In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles.#2.23 miracle: See the note at 2.11. 24But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. 25No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew.

John 2

Water to Wine
1On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in the Galilee. Yeshua’s mother was there,
2and Yeshua and His disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3When the wine ran out, Yeshua’s mother said to Him, “They don’t have any wine!”
4Yeshua said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with you and Me? My hour hasn’t come yet.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6Now there were six stone jars, used for the Jewish ritual of purification, each holding two to three measures.
7Yeshua said to them, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled them up to the top.
8Then He said to them, “Take some water out, and give it to the headwaiter.” And they brought it.
9Now the headwaiter did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. As the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, he calls the bridegroom
10and says to him, “Everyone brings out the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, then the worse. But you’ve reserved the good wine until now!”
11Yeshua did this, the first of the signs, in Cana of the Galilee—He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Yeshua Purges the Temple
12After this Yeshua went down to Capernaum with His mother, brothers, and disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
14In the Temple, He found the merchants selling oxen, sheep, and doves; also the moneychangers sitting there.
15Then He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the Temple, both the sheep and oxen. He dumped out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables.
16To those selling doves, He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop making My Father’s house a marketplace!”
17His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your House will consume Me!”
18The Judean leaders responded, “What sign do You show us, since You are doing these things?”
19“Destroy this Temple,” Yeshua answered them, “and in three days I will raise it up.”
20The Judean leaders then said to Him, “Forty-six years this Temple was being built, and You will raise it up in three days?”
21But He was talking about the temple of His body.
22So after He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was talking about this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Yeshua had spoken.
23Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He was doing.
24But Yeshua did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men.
25He did not need anyone to testify about man, for He knew what was in man.
