nsb@John:2:1 @ There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee on the third day. The mother of Jesus was there.

nsb@John:2:2 @ Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.

nsb@John:2:3 @ They ran out of wine. So the mother of Jesus said to him: »They have no wine.«

nsb@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her: »Woman what have I to do with you? My hour has not arrived.«

nsb@John:2:5 @ His mother told the servants to do whatever he says.

nsb@John:2:6 @ Six stone water jars were placed there to honor purification rules of the Jews. Each contained more than twenty gallons.

nsb@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them: »Fill the jars with water.« They filled them to the brim.

nsb@John:2:8 @ »Draw some out,« he said, »and take it to the master of the feast.« So they drew some out.

nsb@John:2:9 @ The master of the feast did not know about the water turned into wine. He tasted it and called the bridegroom.

nsb@John:2:10 @ He said to him: »Every man sets out the good wine first. When the men have drunk freely the lower quality wine is served. You have kept the good wine until now.«

nsb@John:2:11 @ This was the first miracle Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. It gave evidence of his glory and his disciples believed in him.

nsb@John:2:12 @ He, his mother, brothers and disciples traveled to Capernaum. They stayed there many days.

nsb@John:2:14 @ He found the merchants who sold oxen, sheep and doves. The moneychangers were sitting nearby.

nsb@John:2:16 @ He told those who sold doves: »Take these things away. Do not make my Fathers house a house of merchandise.«

nsb@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered what was written. Zeal for your house shall eat me up. (Psalm strkjv@69:9)

nsb@John:2:18 @ The Jews asked him: »What sign would you show us seeing that you do these things?

nsb@John:2:19 @ Jesus replied: »Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.«

nsb@John:2:20 @ The Jews responded: »It took forty-six years to build this temple and you will raise it up in three days?«

nsb@John:2:21 @ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

nsb@John:2:22 @ When he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered that he said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus said.

nsb@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many saw the signs he did and expressed active faith in his name.

nsb@John:2:24 @ Jesus did not trust his security to them for he understood all men.

nsb@John:2:25 @ He did not need evidence about men for he knew what was in man.
