John 2

1On theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 a weddingG1062 took placeG1096 atG1722 CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056. JesusG2424’ motherG3384 wasG1510 thereG1563, 2andG1161 JesusG2424 andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 had also been invitedG2564G2532 toG1519 theG3588 weddingG1062. 3WhenG2532 the wineG3631 ran outG5302, JesusG2424’ motherG3384 saidG3004 toG4314 HimG846, “They haveG2192 no moreG3756 wineG3631.”

4“WomanG1135, whatG5101 is that to youG4771 andG2532 to MeG1473?” JesusG2424 repliedG3004. “MyG1473 hourG5610 has not yetG3768 comeG2240.”

5HisG846 motherG3384 said toG3004 theG3588 servantsG1249, “DoG4160 whateverG3739G5100G302 He tellsG3004 youG4771.”

6NowG1161 sixG1803 stoneG3035 water jarsG5201 had beenG1510 setG2749 thereG1563 forG2596 theG3588 JewishG2453 rites of purificationG2512. Each could holdG5562 fromG303 twenty to thirty gallonsG1417G2228G5140G3355.1 7JesusG2424 toldG3004 the servants, “FillG1072 theG3588 jarsG5201 with waterG5204.”

SoG2532 they filledG1072 themG846 toG2193 the brimG507.

8“NowG3568 draw some outG501,” He saidG3004, “andG2532 takeG5342 it to theG3588 master of the banquetG755.”

TheyG5342 did so, 9andG1161 theG3588 master of the banquetG755 tastedG1089 theG3588 waterG5204 that had been turned intoG1096 wineG3631. He did not knowG3756G1492 whereG4159 it was fromG1510, butG1161 theG3588 servantsG1249 whoG3588 had drawnG501 theG3588 waterG5204 knewG1492. ThenG3588 he calledG5455 theG3588 bridegroomG3566 aside 10andG2532 saidG3004, “EveryoneG3956 servesG5087 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 firstG4412, and thenG2532 theG3588 cheapG1640 wine afterG3752 the guests are drunkG3184. But youG4771 have savedG5083 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737!”

11JesusG2424 performedG4160 thisG3778, the firstG746 of HisG3588 signsG4592, atG1722 CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056. He thusG2532 revealedG5319 HisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

(Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19; Luke 19:45–48)

12AfterG3326 thisG3778, He went downG2597 toG1519 CapernaumG2584 with HisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 brothersG80 andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101, andG2532 they stayedG3306 thereG1563 a fewG3756G4183 daysG2250.

13WhenG2532 theG3588 JewishG3588G2453 PassoverG3957 wasG1510 nearG1451, JesusG2424 went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414. 14InG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts2 He foundG2147 men sellingG4453 cattleG1016, sheepG4263, andG2532 dovesG4058, andG2532 money changersG2773 seatedG2521 at their tables. 15So He madeG4160 a whipG5416 out ofG1537 cordsG4979 and droveG1544 allG3956 fromG1537 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, bothG5037 sheepG4263 andG2532 cattleG1016. He poured outG1632 theG3588 coinsG2772 of theG3588 money changersG2855 andG2532 overturnedG396 their tablesG5132. 16To thoseG3588 sellingG4453 dovesG4058 He saidG2036, “GetG142 theseG3778 out of hereG1782! How dare youG3361 turnG4160 MyG1473 Father’sG3962 house intoG3624 a marketplaceG3624G1712!”

17HisG846 disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 thatG3754 it isG1510 writtenG1125: “ZealG2205 forG3588 YourG4771 houseG3624 will consumeG2719 MeG1473.”3

18On account of thisG3767, theG3588 JewsG2453 demandedG611G2532G2036G846, “WhatG5101 signG4592 can You showG1166 usG1473 to proveG3754 Your authority to doG4160 these thingsG3778?”

19JesusG2424 answeredG611G2532G2036G846, “DestroyG3089 thisG3778 templeG3485, andG2532 inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250 I will raise it up againG1453G846.”

20“ThisG3778 temple tookG3485 forty-sixG5062G2532G1803 yearsG2094 to buildG3618,” theG3588 JewsG2453 repliedG2036, “andG2532 YouG4771 are going to raise it upG1453G846 inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250?”

21ButG1161 Jesus was speakingG2036 aboutG4012 theG3588 templeG3485 of HisG846 bodyG4983. 22AfterG3753 He was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, HisG846 disciplesG3101 rememberedG3403 thatG3754 He had saidG2036 thisG3778. ThenG2532 they believedG4100 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 andG2532 theG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG2036.

WhileG5613 He wasG1510 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 theG3588 PassoverG3957 FeastG1859, many peopleG4183 sawG2334 the signsG4592 He was doingG4160 and believedG4100 inG1519 HisG846 nameG3686. 24ButG1161 JesusG2424G846 did notG3756 entrustG4100 HimselfG848 to themG846, forG1223 HeG846 knewG1097 them allG3956. 25He didG2192 notG3756 needG5532 anyG5100 testimonyG3140 aboutG4012 manG444, forG1063 HeG846 knewG1097 whatG5101 wasG1510 inG1722 a manG444.
