John 2 explained

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Jesus Cleanses the Temple: The End of Empty Religion (John 2:12–25)

Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple was far more than righteous anger over dishonest business practices. It was a prophetic declaration that God’s dwelling place was no longer a building of stone, but the person of Jesus Christ, the true Temple through whom all people would come to the Father.

Jesus turns water into wine

Jesus Turns Water into Wine: The First Sign of the New Creation (John 2:1–11)

Jesus’ first miracle was far more than saving a wedding reception. By turning water into wine, He revealed His glory, fulfilled Old Testament expectations, and pointed forward to the joy, abundance, and cleansing of the New Covenant He came to establish.
