And the wine failing, the mother of saith to him: ″ They have no wine. And saith to her: ″ What is to me and thee woman? my houre commeth not yet. His mother saith to the ministers: ″ Whatsoever he shal say to you, doe ye. And there were set there six water-pots of stone, according to the purification of the Jewes, holding every one two or three measures. saith to them: Fil the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the top. And saith to them: Draw now, and carie to the cheefe steward. And they caried it. And after the cheefe steward tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the ministers knew that had drawne the water; the cheefe steward calleth the bridegrome, and 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. This beginning of miracles did in Cana of Galilee; and he manifested his glorie, and his Disciples beleeved in him.✠

And the Pasche of the Jewes was at hand, and went up to Hierusalem; and he found in the Temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the bankers sitting. And 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. And to them that sold doves, he said: Take away these things hence, and make not the house of my Father, a house of marchandise. And his Disciples remembred that it is written: The zeale of thy house hath eaten me. The Jewes therfore answered and said to him: What signe doest thou shew us, that thou doest these things? answered and said to them: * Dissolve this temple, and in three dayes I wil raise it. The Jewes therfore said: In fourtie and six yeares was this Temple built, and wilt thou raise it in three dayes? But he spake of the temple of his body. Rh
