John 2
|
|
| 2:1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother
of Jesus was there: |
 (1:35, 43; 2:1)
What did Jesus do after his baptism?
 The Transmutation
|
| 2:2
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
|
| 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have
no wine. |
 (2:3-10)
"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine."
Is it OK to drink alcohol?
|
| 2:4
Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
|
| 2:5
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. |
|
| 2:6
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the
purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. |
|
| 2:7
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them
up to the brim. |
|
| 2:8
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the
feast. And they bare it. |
|
| 2:9
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and
knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the
governor of the feast called the bridegroom, |
"Water that was made wine"
Jesus' first miracle was to turn water into wine. Now that's a neat trick. Can
Penn & Teller do that?
(Good thing he didn't he turn the water into blood like his dad did in Exodus 7.)
|
| 2:10
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine;
and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept
the good wine until now. |
|
| 2:11
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. |
|
| 2:12
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. |
|
| 2:13
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
|
| 2:14
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting: |
 Temple Tantrum
|
| 2:15
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of
the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money,
and overthrew the tables;
|
| 2:16
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my
Father's house an house of merchandise. |
|
| 2:17
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house
hath eaten me up. |
|
| 2:18
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us,
seeing that thou doest these things? |
|
| 2:19
Jesus answered and said
unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
|
"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Who raised Jesus from the dead?
Did Jesus say, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up"?
(2:19-21)
Jehovah's Witnesses deny the bodily resurrection of Jesus, saying instead that
he was raised as a "spirit creature." If so, then how could John say that "he
spake of the temple of his body?"
|
| 2:20
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and
wilt thou rear it up in three days?
|
| 2:21
But he spake of the temple of his body.
|
| 2:22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that
he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word
which Jesus had said.
|
| 2:23
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many
believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. |
|
| 2:24
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, |
|
| 2:25
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in
man.
