“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.”

PA: Banner of Truth, 1879/2012), 1: 73-74. Ryle is commenting on **John 2:12-25**.
