John 2:23-25 meaningMay 6, 2024
John reports that while Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover, many people believed in Him because of the signs He was doing. But Jesus does not entrust Himself to them because He knows the fallibility of the human heart.
John 2:18-22 meaningMay 6, 2024
After Jesus drives the money changers and salesmen out of the temple, He is confronted by the Jewish leaders, who ask Him for a sign of His authority to do such things. Jesus tells them that if they destroy this temple, He will raise it up in three days. The Jews, and likely everyone present, misunderstand Jesus to be talking about the physical temple, when in fact He is making a prediction about His eventual death and resurrection. Only after His resurrection did Jesus’s disciples understand the true meaning of His enigmatic remark.
John 2:13-17 meaningMay 6, 2024
John reports that Jesus’s public ministry begins at Cana (John 2:1-12), albeit somewhat inconspicuously. He does not stay discrete for long, however, as John next reports that Jesus travels to Jerusalem for Passover, where He confronts the moneychangers and animal sellers who had set up shop in the temple. He drives them out of the temple with a whip, declaring that His Father’s house should not be made into a place of business.

Jesus turns to the servants of the wedding feast and instructs them to fill six large stone jars with water. Once they have done so, He tells them to draw some of the water out and take it to the master of the feast. They do so, at which point the master of the feast discovers that the water has been made into fine wine and expresses amazement that the bridegroom has saved the best wine for last.
John 2:1-5 meaningMay 6, 2024
Jesus and His new disciples attend a wedding in Cana, but a problem arises when the wine runs out before the end of the celebration. Jesus’s mother, Mary, entreats him to intervene and solve this problem for the couple and their family. Jesus questions what the problem has to do with His mother and Himself, and insists that His time has not yet come. Despite this, Mary confidently tells the wedding servants to listen to Jesus and do whatever He says.

Psalm 35:22-27 meaningMay 5, 2024
David petitions God to intervene and judge his case. He believes if God does this then he will be vindicated as his adversaries are humiliated. This is prophetic of God vindicating Jesus from the unjust treatment His Son received from His accusers.
Psalm 35:19-21 meaningMay 5, 2024
David petitions God to not allow his enemies to get away with slandering him. His petitions are prophetic of how Jesus the Messiah was slandered during His trials.
Psalm 35:18 meaningMay 5, 2024
David offers his second interlude of praises within Psalm 35. He promises to publicly praise God in the future. The placement of this praise surrounded by desperate petitions serves as an expression of faith or as a reminder that God is faithful—or both of these things. David’s interlude is prophetic of how Jesus glorified His Father with His life through following Him in full obedience and will bring glory to God through His death and resurrection.
Psalm 35:11-17 meaningMay 5, 2024
David accuses his enemies of maliciously repaying the good he did for them with evil. He reports how they falsely accuse him, and recounts his heartfelt love and acts of service to them during their time of sickness. Despite his mercy and compassion, they viciously turned against David. David’s account is prophetic of how Jesus the Messiah is betrayed by Judas and later falsely accused during His religious trials. It is also prophetic of how those whom Jesus loved and served repaid good with evil and became his vicious enemies.
Psalm 35:9-10 meaningMay 5, 2024
David offers his first of three praises within Psalm 35. His praise is an expression of gratitude (and probably faith in) God for saving him. David’s praise is prophetic of Jesus the Messiah’s resurrection and salvation from death.
Psalm 35:4-8 meaningMay 3, 2024
David petitions the LORD to defeat, humiliate, scatter, and destroy his enemies. If the LORD does this, then David will be saved/delivered from his enemies. These petitions are prophetic of how the LORD defeats, humiliates, scatters, and destroys the adversaries of Jesus, the Messiah, during the fall of Jerusalem forty years after they murdered Jesus on the cross.
Psalm 35:1-3 meaningMay 3, 2024
David petitions God to advocate on His behalf against those who contend and fight against him. He puts his trust in the LORD for his deliverance. This is prophetic of how Jesus entrusts His case to the LORD during His illegal religious trials.
