To study John 2 in a group
1. What it says
At the wedding in Cana, what runs out, what does Mary tell the servants, and what does Jesus do? (vv. 1-11)
2. What it means
Jesus clears the temple and says, “Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.” What does the narrator explain he meant? (vv. 13-22)
3. How I live it
The servants obeyed even though they did not understand what was happening (vv. 5-9). Where could you do what Jesus says today without understanding it all?
