Chap. II.

 

At the request of his mother he worketh his first miracle, turning water into wine at a mariage in Galilee, although the time of his manifestation be not yet come. 12. Then in Hierusalem at Pasche, being but one, and yet obscure, he throweth out of the Temple most miraculously al the marchantes. 18. And being yet of the blind Jewes asked a signe, he signifieth so long before, that they should kill him, but he wil rise againe the third day. 23. Which also presently they would doe, but that he knowing their false hartes (though many beleeve in him) wil not tarie among them.

 

The Ghospel upon the 2. Sunday after the Epiphanie.AND the third day there was a mariage made in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. ²And ″ Jesus also was called, and his Disciples to the mariage. ³And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: ″ They have no wine. ⁴And Jesus saith to her: ″ What is to me and thee woman? my houre commeth not yet. ⁵His mother saith to the ministers: ″ Whatsoever he shal say to you, doe ye. ⁶And there were set there six water-pots of stone, according to the purification of the Jewes, holding every one two or three measures. ⁷Jesus saith to them: Fil the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the top. ⁸And Jesus saith to them: Draw now, and carie to the cheefe steward. And they caried it. ⁹And after the cheefe steward tasted the ^[1] water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the ministers knew that had drawne the water; the cheefe steward calleth the bridegrome, ¹⁰and saith to him: Every man first setteth the good wine: and when they have wel drunke, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now. ¹¹This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and he manifested his glorie, and his Disciples beleeved in him.✠

¹²After this he went downe to Capharnaum himself and his mother, and his brethren, and his Disciples; and there they remained not many dayes. The Ghospel upon Monday in the fourth weeke of Lent.¹³And the Pasche of the Jewes was at hand, and Jesus went up to Hierusalem; ¹⁴and he found in the Temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the bankers sitting. ¹⁵And when he had made as it were a whip of litle cordes, he ″ cast them al out of the Temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the bankers he powred out, and the tables he overthrew. ¹⁶And to them that sold doves, he said: Take away these things hence, and make not the house of my Father, a house of marchandise. ¹⁷And his Disciples remembred that it is written: Ps. 68, 10.The zeale of thy house hath eaten me. ¹⁸The Jewes therfore answered and said to him: What signe doest thou shew us, that thou doest these things? ¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them: Mt. 26, 61. 27, 40.* Dissolve this temple, and in three dayes I wil raise it. ²⁰The Jewes therfore said: In fourtie and six yeares was this Temple built, and wilt thou raise it in three dayes? ²¹But he spake of the temple of his body.

1. He that seeth water turned into wine, needeth not dispute or doubt how Christ changed bread into his body.
