8. This signifying what death HE should die 12:33, 18:32, 20:30  I Thirst – for righteousness  If I be lifted up, I will draw all men to Me. Jesus is LORD....   14:6, 17:11,14 & 16

9.  After His Resurrection, Jesus told the disciples to cast their net on the other side and they caught 153 large fish. 20:30 and many other signs Jesus did which are not written in this book….

1. Joh 2:1+ On ‘The Third Day’ there was a Wedding in Cana – The Wedding refers ultimately to The Day of Atonement which will take place after 2,000 years (or after 2 days.) Jesus turns 6 Pots of Water into Wine. HIS Mother has asked Him to provide wine and tells the servants to do what He tells them to do. Jesus responds, ‘Woman, My time is not yet.’ Jesus will provide The Wine and Supper at His Wedding per Rev 19:9, Luk 14:30. The ruler of the wedding did not know where the wine came from. This was done evidently to reduce any conflict that might occur.... This ‘First Miracle’ compares to the ‘Wedding of The Lamb’ which is the Gathering of The Saints in Heaven per Rev 19:1-11....

2. Joh 4:46 Again at Cana Jesus speaks and we read of the Healing of The Official’s Son at Capernaum. This ‘miracle’ is notable in that this healing took place several miles away, when Jesus spoke ‘go your way, your son lives.’ The official believed and his son was healed though he had been near death. This sign relates to the New Life we receive by faith –  at the moment of salvation.

3. Joh 5:1+ An man infirm for 38 years, is waiting by The Pool of Bethesda. Jesus asks him ’Will you be made whole?’ and it was a ‘Sabbath day’ 5:6-9. Jesus then says ‘take up your bed and walk.’ Later Jesus says, ‘you are made whole, go your way and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.’ 5:14.

 I would like to tie miracle 2 and 3 together and relate them to The First and Last Days of Unleavened Bread. Especially because Jesus tells this man to ‘sin no more.’ This is the main teaching about Unleavened Bread in 1Corinthians.

 In Joh 5:16+ the Jews begin to persecute and seek to kill Jesus. Jesus answers them, ‘My Father works and I work.’ HE then begins a discussion about His relationship with The Father, and deals with them about their lack of relationship with GOD....
