“The second miracle which our Lord is recorded to have wrought demands our attention in these verses.
Like the first miracle at Cana, it is eminently typical and significant of things yet to come.
To attend a marriage feast (John 2:1-11), and cleanse the temple (John 2:12-25) from profanation were among the first acts of our Lord’s ministry at His first coming.
To purify the whole visible Church, and hold a marriage supper, will be amongst His first acts, when He comes again.”
–J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on John, vol. 1 (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1879/2012), 1: 73-74. Ryle is commenting on John 2:12-25.
