Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 2

1. et die tertio nuptiæ factæ sunt in Cana Galilææ et erat mater Jesu ibi

1. And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.

2. vocatus est autem ibi et Jesus et discipuli ejus ad nuptias

2. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3. et deficiente vino dicit mater Jesu ad eum vinum non habent

3. And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.

4. et dicit ei Jesus quid mihi et tibi est mulier nondum venit hora mea

4. And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.

5. dicit mater ejus ministris quodcumque dixerit vobis facite

5. His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.

6. erant autem ibi lapideæ hydriæ sex positæ secundum purificationem Judæorum capientes singulæ metretas binas vel ternas

6. Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.

7. dicit eis Jesus implete hydrias aqua et impleverunt eas usque ad summum

7. Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8. et dicit eis Jesus haurite nunc et ferte architriclino et tulerunt

8. And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.

9. ut autem gustavit architriclinus aquam vinum factam et non sciebat unde esset ministri autem sciebant qui haurierant aquam vocat sponsum architriclinus

9. And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,

10. et dicit ei omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit et cum inebriati fuerint tunc id quod deterius est tu servasti bonum vinum usque adhuc

10. And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11. hoc fecit initium signorum Jesus in Cana Galilææ et manifestavit gloriam suam et crediderunt in eum discipuli ejus

11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

12. post hoc descendit Capharnaum ipse et mater ejus et fratres ejus et discipuli ejus et ibi manserunt non multis diebus

12. After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.

13. et prope erat pascha Judæorum et ascendit Hierosolyma Jesus

13. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14. et invenit in templo vendentes boves et oves et columbas et nummularios sedentes

14. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

15. et cum fecisset quasi flagellum de funiculis omnes ejecit de templo oves quoque et boves et nummulariorum effudit æs et mensas subvertit

15. And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.

16. et his qui columbas vendebant dixit auferte ista hinc nolite facere domum Patris mei domum negotiationis

16. And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.

17. recordati vero sunt discipuli ejus quia scriptum est zelus domus tuæ comedit me

17. And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

18. responderunt ergo Judæi et dixerunt ei quod signum ostendis nobis quia hæc facis

18. The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?

19. respondit Jesus et dixit eis solvite templum hoc et in tribus diebus excitabo illud

19. Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20. dixerunt ergo Judæi quadraginta et sex annis ædificatum est templum hoc et tu tribus diebus excitabis illud

20. The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

21. ille autem dicebat de templo corporis sui

21. But he spoke of the temple of his body.

22. cum ergo resurrexisset a mortuis recordati sunt discipuli ejus quia hoc dicebat et crediderunt scripturæ et sermoni quem dixit Jesus

22. When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.

23. cum autem esset Hierosolymis in pascha in die festo multi crediderunt in nomine ejus videntes signa ejus quæ faciebat

23. Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.

24. ipse autem Jesus non credebat semet ipsum eis eo quod ipse nosset omnes

24. But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

25. et quia opus ei non erat ut quis testimonium perhiberet de homine ipse enim sciebat quid esset in homine

25. And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
