Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### Turning Water into Wine **Principle**: If it matters to you it matters to Jesus. [[#Verse 01.]] Now on the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,  [[#Verse 02.]] and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.  [[#Verse 03.]] When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine left.”  [[#Verse 04.]] Jesus replied, “Woman, why are you saying this to me? My time has not yet come.”  [[#Verse 05.]] His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.” [[#Verse 06.]] Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washing, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.  [[#Verse 07.]] Jesus told the servants, “Fill the water jars with water.” So they filled them up to the very top.  [[#Verse 08.]] Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward,” and they did.  [[#Verse 09.]] When the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom  [[#Verse 10.]] and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the cheaper wine when the guests are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!”  [[#Verse 11.]] Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs, in Cana of Galilee. In this way he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. ### Cleansing the Temple **Principle**: Keep first things first. [[#Verse 12.]] After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.  [[#Verse 13.]] Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [[#Verse 14.]]  He found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables.  [[#Verse 15.]] So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. [[#Verse 16.]] To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”  [[#Verse 17.]] His disciples remembered that it was written, “**_Zeal_** **_for your house will devour me_**.” [[Psalm 69]] [[#Verse 18.]] So then the Jewish leaders responded, “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?”  [[#Verse 19.]] Jesus replied, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”  [[#Verse 20.]] Then the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up in three days?”  [[#Verse 21.]] But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body.  [[#Verse 22.]] So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken. ### Jesus at the Passover Feast **Principle**: Jesus truly knows all people. [[#Verse 23.]] Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.  [[#Verse 24.]] But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.  [[#Verse 25.]] He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
