John 2 : 1 (HCSB)
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and
John 2 : 2 (HCSB)
Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding as well.
John 2 : 3 (HCSB)
When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother told Him, "They don't have any wine."
John 2 : 4 (HCSB)
"What has this concern of yours to do with Me, woman?" Jesus asked. "My hour has not yet come."
John 2 : 5 (HCSB)
"Do whatever He tells you," His mother told the servants.
John 2 : 6 (HCSB)
Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained 20 or 30 gallons.
John 2 : 7 (HCSB)
"Fill the jars with water," Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.
John 2 : 8 (HCSB)
Then He said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the chief servant." And they did.
John 2 : 9 (HCSB)
When the chief servant tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from-- though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom
John 2 : 10 (HCSB)
and told him, "Everybody sets out the fine wine first, then, after people have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now."
John 2 : 11 (HCSB)
Jesus performed this first sign in Cana of Galilee. He displayed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
John 2 : 12 (HCSB)
After this, He went down to Capernaum, together with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
John 2 : 13 (HCSB)
The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
John 2 : 14 (HCSB)
In the temple complex He found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and *He also found the money changers sitting there.
John 2 : 15 (HCSB)
After making a whip out of cords, He drove everyone out of the temple complex with their sheep and oxen. He also poured out the money changers' coins and overturned the tables.
John 2 : 16 (HCSB)
He told those who were selling doves, "Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father's house into a marketplace!"
John 2 : 17 (HCSB)
And His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for Your house will consume Me.
John 2 : 18 (HCSB)
So the Jews replied to Him, "What sign *of authority will You show us for doing these things?"
John 2 : 19 (HCSB)
Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days."
John 2 : 20 (HCSB)
Therefore the Jews said, "This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?"
John 2 : 21 (HCSB)
But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body.
John 2 : 22 (HCSB)
So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.
John 2 : 23 (HCSB)
While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many trusted in His name when they saw the signs He was doing.
John 2 : 24 (HCSB)
Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all
John 2 : 25 (HCSB)
and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.
