The name of one of these men was Andrew, and of the other\u003cbr\u003eJohn. Jesus knew that they would like to speak to Him, so He turned around\u003cbr\u003eand asked them what they wanted. ‘Master,’ they said, ‘where dwellest\u003cbr\u003eThou?’ (that means ‘where are you living?’) Jesus said, ‘Come, and you\u003cbr\u003eshall see.’ And He took the two disciples to His home, and He let them stay\u003cbr\u003ewith Him the whole of the day. What a happy day that must have been!\u003cbr\u003eAndrew had a brother called Simon, and he went and found him, and told\u003cbr\u003ehim that he had found the Messiah, and brought him to see his new Master.\u003cbr\u003eSo now Jesus had three disciples—John, Andrew, and Simon; and next day\u003cbr\u003eHe took them away with Him to Galilee. While they were going along,\u003cbr\u003eJesus saw a man called Philip, who came from the place where Simon and\u003cbr\u003eAndrew lived when they were at home. Jesus told Philip to come with Him,\u003cbr\u003eand he came. But Philip went to a friend of his, a very good man called\u003cbr\u003eNathanael, also called Bartholomew, and he told him that he had found Jesus\u003cbr\u003eof Nazareth, the Messiah, and begged him to come and see Him.\u003cbr\u003eHow many disciples had Jesus now? Let us see. John, Andrew, Simon,\u003cbr\u003ePhilip, and Nathanael—five. And very likely John had brought his brother\u003cbr\u003eJames to Jesus. If so, that would make six.\u003cbr\u003eDirectly, Jesus came into Galilee. He was invited to a wedding, at a place\u003cbr\u003ecalled Cana, and all of His disciples with Him. Jesus went to the wedding\u003cbr\u003ebecause He likes to see people happy, and loves to make them happy. In\u003cbr\u003eAmerica, people often drink more wine at weddings and at other times than\u003cbr\u003eis good for them, and a great many people go without any wine at all, so as\u003cbr\u003eto set a good example. But in the East it is different. The people there\u003cbr\u003e15\u003cbr\u003ehardly ever take too much wine. So Jesus allowed His disciples to use it,\u003cbr\u003eand He drank it Himself. There was some wine at the wedding party to\u003cbr\u003ewhich Jesus went; but presently it came to an end. Then Mary came to\u003cbr\u003eJesus, and said, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus knew what Mary was thinking\u003cbr\u003eabout, but He had to tell her to wait; and He had to make Mary understand\u003cbr\u003ethat He could not do everything now which she told Him to do, exactly as\u003cbr\u003ewhen He was a boy. He was God’s Son as well as Mary’s, and He had\u003cbr\u003eGod’s work to do, and He must do it at God’s time.\u003cbr\u003eBut when Mary went back, she told the servants to do whatever Jesus told\u003cbr\u003ethem. Close to the house there were six great stone jars or waterpots, and\u003cbr\u003eJesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled\u003cbr\u003ethem up to the brim. And lo! when the water was taken out of the jars, it\u003cbr\u003ewas water no longer, but wine.\u003cbr\u003eThis was the very first miracle that Jesus did, and He did it to make people\u003cbr\u003ehappy, and to make them believe that He was the Son of God. Dear\u003cbr\u003echildren, Jesus wants you to be happy. And the best way to be happy is to\u003cbr\u003eask Jesus to go with you everywhere and always, just as those wedding\u003cbr\u003epeople asked Him to come to their party.\u003cbr\u003e16\u003cbr\u003eHe did not stay very many days in Capernaum. The lovely spring flowers\u003cbr\u003etold Him that the Passover time was coming, so He went up with His\u003cbr\u003edisciples, to Jerusalem. When Jesus had come to Jerusalem, you may be\u003cbr\u003esure that His disciples and He soon went to the Temple, and when they got\u003cbr\u003einside the great Court of the Gentiles they found a market was going on\u003cbr\u003ethere. Men were selling oxen and sheep and doves for sacrifice. Others\u003cbr\u003ewere sitting at little tables changing money. And there must have been\u003cbr\u003eplenty of noise, for people in the East shout and quarrel a great deal when\u003cbr\u003ethey are buying or selling.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Jesus saw this, He was angry; and He made a whip with pieces of\u003cbr\u003ecord, and He drove away all the people who were selling in the Temple.\u003cbr\u003eAnd He turned out the sheep and the oxen; and he told the men who sold\u003cbr\u003edoves to take them away, and not turn His Father’s House into a store. Jesus\u003cbr\u003eupset the tables of the money-changers too, and poured out their money.\u003cbr\u003eJesus did a great many wonderful things when He was in Jerusalem that\u003cbr\u003ePassover time, and many persons saw...","brand":"All classic book warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184134635760,"sku":"2940014851763","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014851763_p0.jpg?v=1763616067","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014851763","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
