AND THE THIRD DAY THERE WAS A MARRIAGE IN CALLA OF GALILEE; AND THE MOTHER OF JESUS WAS THERE;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND BOTH JESUS WAS CALLED, AND HIS DISCIPLES, TO THE MARRIAGE. On the third day after the incidents which were narrated last; for so long it took for the journey from Judea, if this was made in a leisurely manner. There was a marriage with a wedding-feast, the only one of which the gospels tell us t... [ Continue Reading ]

JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, WOMAN, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE? MINE HOUR IS NOT YET COME.... [ Continue Reading ]
HIS MOTHER SAITH UNTO THE SERVANTS, WHATSOEVER HE SAITH UNTO YOU, DO IT. The wedding-feast seems to have been planned and carried out on a large scale, and yet not all contingencies had been provided for. Since the increased number of guests required more wine than had been furnished, the supply was... [ Continue Reading ]

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,... [ Continue Reading ]
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.... [ Continue Reading ]
THIS BEGINNING OF MIRACLES DID JESUS IN CANA OF GALILEE, AND MANIFESTED FORTH HIS GLORY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BELIEVED ON HIM. The number of the water-pots would be immaterial but for the fact that the evangelist wants to bring out the greatness of the miracle and the largess of Christ in providing suc...

THE FIRST PURGING OF THE TEMPLE AND ITS RESULTS. A brief stay at Capernaum: AFTER THIS HE WENT DOWN TO CAPERNAUM, HE, AND HIS MOTHER, AND HIS BRETHREN, AND HIS DISCIPLES; AND THEY CONTINUED THERE NOT MANY DAYS. John, in accordance with his purpose of supplementing the account of the first three gos... [ Continue Reading ]

AND SAID UNTO THEM THAT SOLD DOVES, TAKE THESE THING HENCE: M' MY FATHERS' HOUSE AN HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HIS DISCIPLES REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS WRITTEN, THE ZEAL OF THINE HOUSE HATH EATEN ME UP. Jesus was a circumcised member of the Jewish Church, and He was very strict in observing its rules and laws. Since the male members of the nation were required to be present three times a year in Jerusalem, a... [ Continue Reading ]

BUT HE SPAKE OF THE TEMPLE OF HIS BODY.... [ Continue Reading ]
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. The Jews resented the implication of authority; it meant that He claimed for Himself a supernatural origin or mission, either as a... [ Continue Reading ]
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.... [ Continue Reading ]

AND NEEDED NOT THAT ANY SHOULD TESTIFY OF MAN; FOR HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN MAN. Since the Passover festival in the wider sense, including the days of Unleavened Bread, lasted for eight days, and since there were pilgrims in Jerusalem from all parts of the Jewish country at that time, Jesus had the best...
