Christ changes water into wine
2
📚✭And on the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there, 2 📚✭and both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.3 📚✭And when the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine”.
4 📚Jesus said to her, “Woman, what have I to do with you?✭ My time has not yet come”.
5 📚✭His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you”.
6 📚And six stone waterpots were placed there, according to the custom of Jewish purification, containing eighty or a hundred and twenty liters each.
7 📚Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water”. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 📚And he said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast”. And they took it.
9 📚✭And when the master of the feast tasted the water that had been made wine, and not knowing from where it came (but the servants who drew the water knew) the master of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 📚✭and said to him, “Everyone at first sets out the good wine, and the inferior wine after men are intoxicated. But you have kept the good wine until now”.
11 📚This, the first of his miraculous signs✭, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and revealed his glory✭, and his disciples believed in him.
Christ clears the temple
12 📚✭After this he went down to Capernaum, he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, but they did not stay there many days.
13 📚✭And the Jewish Passover was at hand. And Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 📚✭and found in the temple compound those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. 15 And when he had made a whip out of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, together with the sheep and the oxen, and spilled the coins of the money changers and overturned the tables, 16 📚✭and said to those who sold doves, “Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father’s house a house of trade”.
17 📚And his disciples remembered that it was written,
Zeal for your house has consumed me.
Christ is asked for a miraculous sign
18 📚✭Then the Jews responded and said to him, “What miraculous sign do you show to us, since you are doing these things?”
19 📚✭Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”.
20 Then the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?”
21 📚But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 📚✭So when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture, and the words Jesus had spoken.
