Explanation: In John 2 Jesus attended a wedding at Cana. When the wine ran out, his mother asked him for help. He responded by making wine from water. The wine was superior the original wine. This was the first of his miracles by which he manifested his glory. After this he went to Capernaum and spent a few days with him mother, his brothers, and his disciples (1-12). Jesus then went to Jerusalem where he cleansed the Temple of those who were conducting business within its environs. When the Jewish rulers demanded a sign from him to prove that he had the authority to do such things, Jesus told them that if they destroyed "this temple," (referring to his body), he would raise it up in three days, (referring to his resurrection). The authorities, who interpreted this saying as a reference to the Temple building, scoffed at the idea that Jesus could raise up a ruined structure which had taken 46 years to build. But after Jesus' resurrection the disciples remembered this incident, realized that he had been referring to his resurrection, and believed in the Scripture and the word of Jesus (13-22). When Jesus was at the Passover feast many who saw his miracles believed in him; but he did not commit himself to them because he knew what was in them (23-25).

John 2
2. His Salvation Manifested to the World (Jn 1:29 - Jn 12:50) - (Continued) - 29 - 33 A.D. Israel
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
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.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
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,
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.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
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.
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
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;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
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.
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.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not [had no requirement] that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
