[John 2]

 

             {Joh 2:1-11 Cana in Galilee; no parallel.}

             ^2:1 And there happened to be a marriage in Cana of Galilee on the third day, and the mother of Jesus was there; ^2:2 and Jesus was invited and his disciples to the marriage. ^2:3 And when they lacked enough wine {i.e., ran out}, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

             ^2:4 Jesus says to her, What is this thing with me and with you, woman? My hour is not coming yet.

             ^2:5 His mother says to the servants, Anything whatever he may say to you^°, do^*° it. ^2:6 Now six stone water pots were placed there according-to the Jews’ cleansing, making room for two or three nine-gallon measures apiece. {i.e., very large water pots}

             ^2:7 Jesus says to them, Fill^° the water pots from water nearby. And they filled them to the top. ^2:8 And he says to them, Dip-out^° some now and carry^° it to the chief waiter.

             And they carried it. ^2:9 Now as the chief waiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it is from (but the servants knew, who dipped-out the water), the chief waiter summons the bridegroom, ^2:10 and says to him, Every man first places the good wine on the table, and whenever they might be drunk, then the inferior. But you have kept the good wine until now. ^2:11 This one was the beginning of the signs which Jesus did^* in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed into him.

 

             {Joh 2:12 Capernaum; no parallel.}

             ^2:12 After this, he went-down to Capernaum, he himself and his mother and his brethren and his disciples, and they did not remain there many days. {i.e., stayed a few days.}

 

             {Joh 2:13-25 Jerusalem April 9, 27 AD; no parallel.}

             ^2:13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went-up to Jerusalem. ^2:14 And he found, sitting in the temple, the ones selling bulls and sheep and doves, and the money-changers. ^2:15 And he made^* a scourge out-of ropes and cast all forth out-of the temple, both the sheep and the bulls, and he poured out the coinage of the brokers and turned over their tables; ^2:16 and to the ones selling the doves he said, Take^° these things from here. Do^*° not make^* my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

             ^2:17 Now his disciples were reminded that it has been written, ‘The zeal of your house will be devouring me.’ {Psa 69:9}

             ^2:18 Therefore, the Jews answered and said to him, What sign are you showing to us? Why is it that you are doing^* these things?

             ^2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Tear-down^° this temple and I will be lifting it up in three days.

             ^2:20 Therefore, the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years and you will be lifting it up in three days? ^2:21 But that he was saying this concerning the temple of his body.

             ^2:22 Therefore, when he was raised up from the dead, his disciples were reminded that he was saying this, and they believed in the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

 

             ^2:23 Now as he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, many believed into his name at the feast, viewing his signs which he was doing^*. ^2:24 But Jesus himself was not entrusting himself to them, because he knows all people, ^2:25 and because he was having no need that^* anyone should testify concerning man; for^* he himself knew what was in man.
