-
There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
-
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
-
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
-
John Testifies About Jesus
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
-
John’s Disciples Follow Jesus
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
-
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
-
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
-
Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
-
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.
-
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter).
-
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
-
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
-
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
-
“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
-
Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
-
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
-
and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
-
When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
-
“Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
-
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water” ; so they filled them to the brim.
-
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
-
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
-
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
-
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
-
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.
