The Ministry Of Jesus. John’s Gospel

The Wedding at Cana.

And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there: Both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage. And when those who were assembled wanted wine, Mary said unto Jesus they have no wine. Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour has not yet come. Mary said unto the servants, whatsoever Jesus says unto you, do it. Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

Jesus said unto the servants, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And He said unto them, Draw out now, and take it unto the governor of the feast. And they took it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, he did not know where it came from, but the servants who drew the water knew, the governor of the feast called the bridegroom And said unto him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when the men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now. This was the beginning of miracles that Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested forth His glory, and His disciples believed in Jesus. After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days. John 2 vs 1-12.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When Jesus had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”

So the Jews answered and said to Jesus, “What sign do You show to us since You do these things?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up.”Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But Jesus was speaking of the temple of His body. Therefore, when Jesus had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. John 2 v 13-22.

Jesus The Discerner of Hearts

Now, when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs, which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them because He knew all men and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. John 2 v 23-25.
