In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was GOD
Chapter 2
- On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
(Josh. 19:28; John 19:25; John 21:2; Heb. 13:4)
- Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to
the wedding.
- And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus
said to Him, "They have no wine."
- Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern
have to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
(2 Sam. 16:10; John 7:6 - 8, John 7:30; John 7:42; John 8:20; John 19:26)
- 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. (Mark 7:3)
- Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water."
And they filled them up to the brim.
- 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 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.
(John 4:46)
- And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning
sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then that which
is inferior; but you have kept the good wine until now."
- This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,
and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. (1 Kings 17:24)
- After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His
mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many
days. (Matt. 4:13;
Matt. 12:46;
Matt. 13:55)
- Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem. (Deut. 16:1-6; John 5:1; John 11:55)
- And He found in the temple those who sold oxen
and sheep and dover, and the money changers doing business. (Mal. 3:1)
- 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.
- And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these
things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"
- Then His disciples remembered that it was written,
"Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up." (Ps. 69:9)
- So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign
do You show to us, since You do these things?" (Matt. 12:38)
- Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (Mark 14:58; Matt. 26:61; John 10:18)
- Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years
to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
- But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
(1 Cor. 3:16;
_6:19)
- Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His
disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the
Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. (Luke 24:8)
- 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. (John 11:45; Acts 2:22)
- But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because
He knew all men, (John 21:17;
Rev. 2:23)
- and had no need that anyone should testify of
man for he knew what was in man. (Deut. 8:2; Matt. 9:4)
