< John 2 >

1 And on the third day there was a marriage-feast in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the feast.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
3 And they had no wine, because the wine of the feast had failed. Then the mother of Jesus saith to him, There is no wine.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲏⲣⲡ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ
5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲣⲓϥ
6 Now there were set there six water-pots of stone, in conformity with the Jews' custom of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲥⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲩⲇⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓ ϣⲱⲡ ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲣⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲏ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ
7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉϩ ⲛϩⲩⲇⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ
8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear it to the master of the feast. And they bore it.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ
9 But when the master of the feast tasted the water that had been made wine, not knowing whence it was, but the servants who drew the water knew, he called the bridegroom
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁϥⲣ ⲏⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲧϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲉϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲧⲣⲓⲕⲗⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲁ ⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
10 and said to him, Every man setteth on the good wine first, and when men have drunk freely, that which is worse. Thou hast kept the good wine until now.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϯϩⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲡⲉⲧϭⲟϫⲃ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲕⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
11 This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ⲁⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they abode there not many days.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϭⲱ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲕⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
13 And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ
14 And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϯ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ
15 And having made a scourge of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the money of the exchangers, and overthrew the tables;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϩ ⲁϥⲛⲉϫ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲣⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲟⲣϣⲣ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ
16 and said to those who sold the doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ϥⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲏⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛⲉϣⲱⲧ
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲕⲱϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙⲛⲧ
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲛⲁ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
20 Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲣ ϩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉ ⲣⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲕⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ
22 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟϥ
23 And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, at the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw his signs which he wrought.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ
25 and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲣ ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
