< John 2 >

1 On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲡ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ.
2 And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ.
3 When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲏⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
4 Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁϧⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϩⲱⲓ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ.
5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲧϥ.
6 Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲩⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲩⲇⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲓ.
7 Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲩⲇⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲙⲁϩⲟⲩ ϣⲁ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ.
8 Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ.
9 After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲉⲙϯⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲉⲣ ⳿ⲏⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲧ.
10 And said to him, Every man first puts out his best wine and when all have had enough he puts out what is not so good; but you have kept the good wine till now.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩ ⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲑⲓϧⲓ ϣⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲕ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϣⲁ ϯⲛⲟⲩ.
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
13 The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
14 And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲓⲙⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϯ ⳿ⲉϩⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϭⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϥⲁⲓⲕⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ.
15 And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲅⲉⲗⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϥⲁⲓⲕⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲫⲟⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲁϥⲫⲟⲛϫⲟⲩ.
16 And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϯ ϭⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲗⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲧ.
17 And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙⲧ.
18 Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ.
19 And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲉⲗ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
20 The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲭ ⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
21 But his words were about that holy building which was his body.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
22 So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϥⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
24 But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
25 He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ
