< John 2 >

1 And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, —
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
2 and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ.
3 And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him—Wine, have they none!
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲏⲣⲡ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
4 And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲁⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉ͡ⲓ.
5 His mother saith unto them who are ministering—Whatsoever he may say to you, do!
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲣⲓϥ.
6 Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲥⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲇⲣⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉ͡ⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲧⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ϣⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲧⲣⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲏ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅.
7 Jesus saith unto them—Fill the vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲉϩⲛ̅ϩⲩⲇⲣⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
8 And he saith unto them—Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉ͡ⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲛⲉ.
9 And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, —though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁϥⲣ̅ⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲉϩⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
10 and saith unto him—Every man, first the good wine, setteth out; and, when they had been well-supplied, the inferior: —Thou, hast kept the good wine until, even now.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲕⲁⲡⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϯϩⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲕⲁⲡⲉⲧϭⲟϫⲃ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲕⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
11 This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ·
12 After this, he came down into Capernaum, —he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϭⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
13 And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ
14 And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϯ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ.
15 And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers’ small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϩ ⲁϥⲛⲉϫⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲟⲣϣⲣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ.
16 and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said—Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ. ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲉ͡ⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲏⲉ͡ⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲉϣⲱⲧ.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written—The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲕⲱϩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲏⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ.
18 The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ̈.
19 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
20 The Jews, therefore, said—In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲕⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
21 But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
22 When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲟⲟϥ.
23 Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ. ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
24 Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ
25 and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲣ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ·
