DAY 2 - John Chapter 2
- Photo - The river Jordan by the Sea of Galilee Israel -
2:1 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus' mother was there.
2:2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
2:3 When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
2:4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."
2:5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
2:6 Now there were six waterpots of stone set thereafter the Jews' manner of purifying, containing twenty to thirty gallons apiece.
2:7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." They filled them up to the brim.
2:8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it.
2:9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn't know where it came from - but the servants who had drawn the water knew, the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
2:10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!"
2:11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
2:12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days
2:13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2:14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
2:15 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables.
2:16 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"
2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."
2:18 The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"
2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
2:24 But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
2:25 and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
