On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, Jhn 4:46Pro 31:10-12Jhn 1:43Jhn 21:2Mat 12:46Pro 18:22Gen 2:18-25Jhn 1:29 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. Mat 10:40-42Col 3:171Co 10:311Co 7:39Heb 13:4Jhn 1:40-49Luk 7:34-38Mat 12:19 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.” Psa 104:15Php 4:6Ecc 10:19Isa 24:11Mat 26:28Jhn 11:3
“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” Jhn 7:6Jhn 13:1Jhn 7:30Jhn 8:20Jhn 12:23Ecc 3:1Jhn 19:26-27Mat 8:29
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” Gen 6:22Jhn 15:14Heb 11:8Luk 5:5-6Heb 5:9Act 9:6Luk 6:46-49Jdg 13:14
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons. 1 Jhn 3:25Eph 5:26Heb 9:10Mrk 7:2-5Heb 10:22Heb 9:19Heb 6:2 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” 2Ki 4:2-6Jhn 2:51Ki 17:13Jhn 2:3Mrk 11:2-6Mrk 14:12-172Ki 5:10-14Jos 6:3-5
So they filled them to the brim.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” Jhn 2:9Pro 3:5-6Rom 13:7Ecc 9:6
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside Jhn 4:46Jhn 7:17Psa 119:100 and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!” Rev 7:16-17Pro 9:1-6Luk 16:25Psa 104:15Gen 43:34Pro 9:16-18Sng 5:1
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him. Jhn 20:30-31Jhn 1:14Jhn 3:2Jhn 6:2Isa 40:5Jhn 6:14Jhn 6:26Jhn 6:30
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
(Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19; Luke 19:45–48)
After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days. Mat 12:461Co 9:5Act 1:13-14Gal 1:19Jhn 7:3-5Mat 13:55-56Mat 4:13Mrk 6:3
When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Luk 2:41Jhn 11:55Jhn 2:23Deu 16:1-8Exo 12:6-14Jhn 5:1Jhn 6:4Deu 16:16 In the temple courts 2He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables. Luk 19:45-46Mrk 11:15Mrk 11:17Deu 14:23-26Mat 21:12-13Mal 3:1-3 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 2Co 10:4Zec 4:6Jhn 18:6 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!” Mat 21:13Jer 7:11Mrk 11:17Isa 56:5-11Luk 2:492Pe 2:14-15Hos 12:7-82Pe 2:3
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.” 3 Psa 69:9Psa 119:139
On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?” Luk 11:29Jhn 6:30Mat 21:23Mrk 11:27-28Mrk 8:11Act 4:7Act 5:28Jhn 1:25
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” Mrk 14:58Mrk 15:29Mat 27:40Mat 26:60-61Mat 12:40Rom 8:11Jhn 10:17-18Act 2:32
“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. 1Co 6:191Co 3:16Col 1:19Col 2:9Eph 2:20-22Heb 8:22Co 6:16Jhn 1:14 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this.

While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name. Jhn 7:31Jhn 6:14Luk 8:13Eph 3:16-17Gal 5:6Jhn 2:13Jhn 3:2Jhn 8:30-31 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all. Jhn 6:64Act 1:24Heb 4:13Mat 9:41Ch 28:91Sa 16:7Jer 17:9Jhn 16:30 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man. Jhn 13:11Mat 9:4Jhn 6:64Jhn 6:61
