    Wedding at Cana
    Legally married at “betrothal”
    Wedding signaled beginning of conjugal life
    Wedding party parade wedding feast 7-14 days
    Needed good supply of food and drink
    John 2:6–7 ESV
    Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
    John 2:13–22 ESV
    The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

    Question #1 - Why is Jesus in Jerusalem at this moment, and why does that matter?

    Question #2: What exactly does Jesus confront in the temple courts? (vs. 14)

    Question #3: How does Jesus’ command define the problem with what was happening? (v.16)

    Question #4: What does “Zeal for your house will consume me” indicate about Jesus’ action? (vs. 17)

    Psalm 69:9 ESV
    For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

    Question #5: On what basis do the authorities challenge Jesus, and what does that reveal?

    Question #6: What does Jesus mean by “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”?

    Acts 2:24 ESV
    God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
    Galatians 1:1 ESV
    Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
    John 10:18 ESV
    No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
    Romans 8:11 ESV
    If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

    Question #7 When did the disciples understand Jesus’ temple saying, and what changed for them?

    John 2:23–25 ESV
    Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

    Question #8 Many “believed” during the Passover feast—why didn’t Jesus “entrust” himself to them? v23-24

    Question #9: How do the contrasting scenes at Cana and the temple reveal different sides of Jesus’ glory?
