John 2 Cross References - WPNT

¹ On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there. ² Now both Jesus and His disciples had been invited to the wedding. ³ So when the wine had given out, Jesus’ mother says to Him, “They don’t have any wine!” ⁴ Jesus says to her, “What’s that to you and me, woman? My time hasn’t come yet.” ⁵ His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.” ⁶ (Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.) ⁷ Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim. ⁸ So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it. ⁹ Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water —that had become wine, and he didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew)—he calls the bridegroom ¹⁰ and says to him, “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” ¹¹ This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him. ¹² After this He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days. ¹³ Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work. ¹⁵ When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins. ¹⁶ And to the dove-sellers He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s House into a marketplace!” ¹⁷ Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.” ¹⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things.” ¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.” ²⁰ So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!” ²¹ But He was speaking about the temple of His body. ²² Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. ²³ Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing. ²⁴ But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men ²⁵ and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.

⁴⁰ For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the sea monster, so will the Son of the Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ⁴¹ Ninevite men will arise with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and really, a greater than Jonah is here. ⁴² The queen of the South will be raised with this generation at the judgment and she will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and really, a greater than Solomon is here.

Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky but cannot discern the signs of the times. ⁴ A malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind He went away.

¹² Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold the doves. ¹³ And He says to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer’, but you have made it ‘a cave of bandits’.”

² And upon seeing some of His disciples eating bread with ‘unclean’—that is, ceremonially unwashed—hands, they found fault. ³ (Because the Pharisees, indeed all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding to the tradition of the elders. ⁴ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things they have received and hold—washings of cups, pitchers, copper vessels and couches.) ⁵ Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

¹¹ The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, requesting of Him a sign from heaven, by way of testing Him.

³¹ He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Untie and bring it. ³ And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it’, and thereupon he will send it here.” ⁴ So they went and found the foal tied at the door, out in the street, and they loosed it. ⁵ Some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the foal?” ⁶ So they answered them just as Jesus had instructed, and they let them go.

¹⁵ So they came to Jerusalem, and entering the temple Jesus began to drive out those who sold and bought in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of the dove sellers.

¹² Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they would sacrifice the Paschal lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare, so that you may eat the Passover?” ¹³ So He sent two of His disciples, saying to them: “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a clay jar of water; follow him. ¹⁴ Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The teacher says, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ ¹⁵ He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” ¹⁶ So His disciples set out and came into the city and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover. ¹⁷ When it was evening He came with the twelve.

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what I say? ⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them—I will show you who he is like: ⁴⁸ he is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the bedrock. When a flood occurred, the torrent burst upon that house but could not shake it, because it was founded on the bedrock. ⁴⁹ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

³⁴ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ ³⁵ Still, by all her children wisdom is justified.” ³⁶ Then one of the Pharisees invited Him to eat with Him, so He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined. ³⁷ But then, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she found out that He was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume, ³⁸ and as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

⁷ saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again’.” ⁸ And they remembered His words.

⁴⁴ Then He said to them, “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

¹⁴ So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁷ Because the Law was given through Moses; the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.

²⁵ So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor ‘the Prophet’?”

²⁹ The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

³⁵ Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. ⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’). ⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).

⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’). ⁴³ The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”

⁴³ The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.” ⁴⁴ (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.) ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.” ⁴⁶ So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth ?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”

⁴⁶ So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth ?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!” ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” ⁴⁹ In answer Nathanael says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” ⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater than these.”

⁹ Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water —that had become wine, and he didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew)—he calls the bridegroom

¹¹ This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.

¹³ Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷ Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”

²³ Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.

² The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”

²⁵ Then some of John’s disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification.

⁴⁶ So Jesus went again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.

¹ After these things there was the feast of the Jews, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except something He sees the Father doing; because whatever things He does, precisely these the Son also does.

²³ so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

⁴² Rather I have come to know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

² And a huge crowd was following Him because they had seen His signs that He kept performing on the sick.

⁴ (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.)

¹⁴ Now then, having seen the miraculous sign that Jesus performed the men said, “This One really is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” ¹⁵ So Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew up the mountain again by Himself, alone.

¹⁷ and getting into the boat they started to go across the sea toward Capernaum. Well it had been dark for a while and Jesus had not come to them.

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said: “Most assuredly I say to you, you are not seeking me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and were filled.

³⁰ So they said to Him, “Well then, what sign are you going to do so we may see and believe you? What are you going to perform?

⁶¹ So Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Does this offend you?

⁶⁴ But there are some among you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the start who they were who didn’t believe, and who was betraying Him.)

³ So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing, ⁴ because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!” ⁵ For not even His brothers were believing into Him. ⁶ So Jesus says to them: “My time isn’t here yet, but your time is always available.

¹⁷ If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.

³⁰ So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come. ³¹ Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won’t perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”

²⁰ Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.

³⁰ While He was saying these things many believed into Him. ³¹ So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;

⁴⁹ Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.

¹⁷ “Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This command I have received from my father.”

²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father’s hand.

³ So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love is sick!”

¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn’t there, so that you may believe. But let’s go to him.”

²⁵ Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;

⁵⁵ Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.

¹⁶ (Now His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and they had done them to Him.)

²³ But Jesus answered them saying: “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

³⁷ Although He had performed so many signs in their presence, they were not believing into Him;

⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory and spoke concerning Him. ⁴² Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed into Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they wouldn’t be expelled from the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

¹ Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world He loved them to the end.

¹¹ (He knew who was betraying Him; that’s why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”)

⁹ Jesus says to him: “Such a long time I’ve been with you, and you haven’t known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.

¹³ Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to you.

¹⁴ You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

⁴ Now I have told you these things so that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them; I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

³⁰ Now we know that you know everything and don’t need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God.”

⁶ So when He said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.

²⁶ So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He says to His mother, “Woman, there is your son!” ²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, “There is your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

⁸ So then the other disciple went in too, the one who got to the tomb first; and he saw and believed. ⁹ (For they did not yet know the Scripture, that He had to rise from among the dead.)

¹³ And they say to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She says to them, “Because they removed my Lord, and I don’t know where they put Him.”

¹⁵ Jesus says to her: “Woman, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing that He was the gardener, says to Him, “Sir, if you carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him.”

¹⁷ Jesus says to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father—my God and your God.’”

³⁰ Now then, Jesus actually performed many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, that are not written in this book; ³¹ but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through His Name.

² Simon Peter, Thomas (called Twin), Nathanael (from Cana of Galilee), Zebedee’s sons and two others of His disciples were together.

¹⁷ The third time He says to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, are you fond of me?” Peter was grieved in that the third time He said to him, “Are you fond of me?” and said to Him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I’m fond of you!” Jesus says to him: “Feed my sheep.

¹³ When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying; namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James. ¹⁴ All these were continuing with one purpose in prayer and petition, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

²⁴ And praying they said: “You, Lord, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen

²⁴ whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

³² “This Jesus God raised, to which we all are witnesses.

¹⁵ while you killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from among the dead, to which we are witnesses.

²⁶ God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to you first, to bless you by turning each of you away from your iniquities.”

⁷ And having placed them in the middle [of the assembly] they started questioning: “By what power, or by what name did you do this?”

²⁸ saying: “Did we not emphatically command you not to teach in this name? Just look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood on us!”

²⁶ Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza; it is desolate.” ²⁷ So he got up and went; and there, a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court-official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, who had come worshipping to Jerusalem ²⁸ —he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go forward and join this chariot.” ³⁰ So running up Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you really understand what you are reading?” ³¹ So he said, “Well how can I, unless someone guides me?” And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the portion of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He does not open His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His justice was removed, and who will recount His generation? Because His life is removed from the earth.” ³⁴ So continuing the eunuch said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” ³⁵ So opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, Philip preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ Now as they were going down the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch said: “Look, water! What is keeping me from being baptized?” ³⁷ - - -³⁸ So he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ Now when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, because he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ Philip was found at Azotus, and as he passed through he evangelized all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

⁶ but get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

¹⁶ I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit’.

²⁴ A certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, habitually brought in plenty of business for the artisans; ²⁵ he called them together, along with the workmen in related trades, and said: “Men, you know that our prosperity depends on this trade. ²⁶ And you observe and hear that not only in Ephesus but throughout almost all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that hand-made things are not gods. ²⁷ So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be discredited, and even her own majesty be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”

²⁴ but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, we who believe on Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

⁴ Therefore, we were buried with Him by means of that baptism into that death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by means of the Father’s glory, we also should walk in newness of life.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

⁷ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, honor to whom honor.

¹⁶ Do you (pl) not know that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

³⁹ A woman is bound by law for as long as her husband lives, but if the man should die, she is free to be married to whom she wishes—only in the Lord.

⁵ Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, just as the rest of the apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

³¹ Therefore, whether you eat or you drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³ Because I transmitted to you at first that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

¹² Now if Christ is being proclaimed as having been raised from among the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹⁸ So we all, contemplating as in a mirror the glory of the Lord with unveiled face, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, precisely from Lord Spirit.

⁶ because the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness is He who shined in our hearts to give the light that comes from the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ because our light, momentary affliction is working out for us an eternal and limitless measure of glory,

¹⁶ So then, from now on we regard no one from a fleshly perspective—even if we have ‘known’ Christ in this way, we do so no longer —

¹⁶ Further, what agreement can a temple of God have with idols? Because you are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them; I will be their God and they will by my people.”

⁴ because the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but are powerful in God for demolishing strongholds:
