Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.Jesus motherwas there,2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.3When the wine was gone, Jesus mother said to him, They have no more wine.
4Woman,[a]why do you involve me?Jesus replied.My hourhas not yet come.
5His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you.
6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7Jesus said to the servants,Fill the jars with water; so they filled them to the brim.
8Then he told them,Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.
They did so,9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside10and said, Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.
11What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signsthrough which he revealed his glory;and his disciples believed in him.
12After this he went down to Capernaumwith his motherand brothersand his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,and others sitting at tables exchanging money.15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.16To those who sold doves he said,Get these out of here! Stop turning my Fathers houseinto a market!17His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for your house will consume me.[c]
18The Jewsthen responded to him, What signcan you show us to prove your authority to do all this?
19Jesus answered them,Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.Watch at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyLoRwCJHHY File Downloads: https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2024/06/18/06/32/44/612fad95-dcf3-4bcf-8edc-f48a14f8daef/John%2021%20Discussion%20Questions.pdf https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2024/06/18/14/33/54/d99a33f6-f64b-4485-bb7b-3185c4517673/John%2021%20slides.pdf
