John 2:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs[a] in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.(A)

12 [b]After this, he and his mother, [his] brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there only a few days.[c]

Cleansing of the Temple. 13 [d]Since the Passover[e] of the Jews was near,(B) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Footnotes

  1. 2:11 The beginning of his signs: the first of seven (see Introduction).
  2. 2:12–3:21 The next three episodes take place in Jerusalem. Only the first is paralleled in the synoptic gospels.
  3. 2:12 This transitional verse may be a harmonization with the synoptic tradition in Lk 4:31 and Mt 4:13. There are many textual variants. John depicts no extended ministry in Capernaum as do the synoptics.
  4. 2:13–22 This episode indicates the post-resurrectional replacement of the temple by the person of Jesus.
  5. 2:13 Passover: this is the first Passover mentioned in John; a second is mentioned in Jn 6:4; a third in Jn 13:1. Taken literally, they point to a ministry of at least two years.
