John 2
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
ℵ* ⟨And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was finished. Then saith the mother of Jesus unto him, There is no wine.⟩
4 Jesus
BA ⟨And Jesus⟩
saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set
ℵ omit
there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.7 Jesus
ℵ ⟨And Jesus⟩
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him
ℵ omit
, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, thenℵB omit
that which is worse: butℵ ⟨but⟩
thou hast kept the good wine until now.11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his
ℵ ⟨his⟩
glory; and his disciples believed on him.12 ¶ After this he went down to Capernaum
ℵB ⟨Capharnaum⟩
, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciplesℵ omit
: and theyA ⟨he⟩
continued there not many days.13 ¶ And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep
ℵ ⟨sheep and oxen⟩
and doves, and the changers of money sitting:15 And when he had
ℵ ⟨He⟩
made a scourge of small cords, heℵ ⟨and⟩
drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make
A ⟨and make⟩
not my Father's house an house of merchandise.17 And
ℵB omit
his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eatenℵBA ⟨eateth⟩
me up.18 ¶ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his
ℵ ⟨the⟩
body.22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them
ℵBA omit
; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.23 ¶ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
