Stihovi vezani uz John, 2:

The second chapter of the Gospel of John reports the first public miracle of Jesus, when he turned water into wine into a marriage in Cana. This chapter also includes the episode in which Jesus expels the temple merchants in Jerusalem and speaks of his death and resurrection. Below are five verses related to the themes of this chapter:

Luke 2:19: "But Mary kept all these things and reflected in her heart." This verse talks about Mary keeping in her heart the words and events that surrounded the birth of Jesus. Similarly, the events of Chapter 2 of the Gospel of John show the importance of reflecting on the teachings and miracles of Jesus.

Matthew 21:12: "And Jesus entered the temple of God, expelled all who sold and bought there, knocked down the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who sold doves." This verse describes a scene similar to what occurs in John 2, in which Jesus expels the temple traders in Jerusalem. This shows the importance that Jesus gave to the right worship to God and the holiness of the temple.

Mark 10:34: "And they shall mock him, they will spit on him, shag him and kill him; but after three days he will rise." In this verse, Jesus talks about his death and resurrection, an important theme that is addressed in John 2 when Jesus tells the disciples that if the temple is destroyed, he will rebuild him in three days.

John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." This verse describes the incarnation of Jesus, an important theme in John's chapter 2, for his first public miracle demonstrates his divine power.

Hebrews 4:15: "For we do not have a high priest who cannot pity our weaknesses, he was tempted in all things to our likeness, but without sin." This verse talks about how Jesus experienced the same temptations and weaknesses as human beings, but remained without sin. This is relevant to the episode where Jesus turns water into wine, showing that he can provide abundance without surrendering to the excesses and temptations of life.
