Passages: Matthew 4:1-11 & Mark 1:12-13 & Luke 4:1-13; John 1:19-34; John 1:35-51; John 2:1-11; John 2:12; John 2:13-25

Led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Jesus fasts forty days and is tempted three times by the devil — to turn stones to bread, to throw himself from the temple, to bow down and worship in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world — and answers each temptation with scripture until the devil leaves him. Back at the Jordan, priests and Levites sent from Jerusalem ask John the Baptist plainly who he is, and he tells them just as plainly who he is not — not the Christ, not Elijah, not the Prophet — before pointing to Jesus walking by the next day and calling him the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Two of John's own disciples, Andrew among them, follow Jesus that same day; Andrew brings his brother Simon, and within another day Philip and Nathanael join them as well. At a wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus turns water into wine at his mother's request — his first miracle, and the first time his disciples believe on him. After a short stay in Capernaum, Jesus goes up to Jerusalem for the Passover and finds the temple courts turned into a marketplace of moneychangers and animal sellers — and drives them all out with a whip of cords, overturning their tables.
