4“What has this concern of yours to do with me,2:4 Or “What does that have to do with you and me; lit “What to me and to you; Mt 8:29; Mk 1:24; 5:7; Lk 8:282:4 2Sm 16:10; 19:22woman?”2:4 Jn 19:26 Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

5“Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants.

6Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification.2:6 Lv 13–14; Heb 1:3 Each contained twenty or thirty gallons.2:6 Lit two or three measures

7“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

8Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.”2:8 Lit ruler of the table And they did.

9When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from — though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

10and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana2:11 Jn 2:1; 21:2 of Galilee.2:11 Mt 17:22 He revealed2:11 2Co 4:11; 1Jn 1:2 his glory,2:11 Mk 10:37; Jn 17:24 and his disciples believed in him.

12After this, he went down to Capernaum,2:12 Lk 10:15 together with his mother, his brothers,2:12 Mt 12:46–50; Mk 3:31–35; 6:3; Lk 8:19–21; Ac 1:14 and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.

17And his disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal2:17 Nm 25:13for your house will consume2:17 Gl 5:15me.2:17Ps 69:92:17 Ps 69:9

18So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things?”

19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple,2:19 Or sanctuary, also in vv. 20,212:19 Lk 1:21and I will raise it up in three days.”2:19 Lk 9:22

20Therefore the Jews said, “This temple took forty-six years to build,2:20 Or was built forty-six years ago and will you raise it up in three days?” 2:20 Mk 15:29

21But he was speaking about the temple of his body.2:21 Mt 26:26; 27:52,58; Mk 14:22; 15:43; Lk 12:4; 22:19; 23:52,55; Jn 19:31,38,40; 20:12; 1Co 10:16; 11:23–26; Heb 10:5,10; 1Pt 2:24

22So when he was raised from the dead,2:22 Mt 17:9; Rv 20:12 his disciples remembered that he had said this,2:22 Jn 14:26 and they believed the Scripture2:22 Mt 26:54; 2Pt 1:20 and the statement Jesus had made.

23While he was in Jerusalem2:23 Mt 23:37 during the Passover Festival,2:23 Jn 5:1 many believed in his name2:23 Jn 10:25; 1Jn 3:23 when they saw the signs he was doing.

24Jesus, however, would not entrust himself to them, since he knew them all

25and because he did not need anyone to testify about man; for he himself knew what was in man.2:25 Jr 17:10
