\subsection{\John 2}
\subsubsection{Turning Water into Wine}
\lettrine[lraise=0]{A}{nd} on the third day [a] wedding came to pass in Cana of \Galilee,
and the mother of \Iesous was there.
\VS{2} And both \Iesous and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
\VS{3} And having lack of wine, the mother of \Iesous says to him:
They do not have wine.
\VS{4} And \Iesous says to her: What [concern is that] to me and to you, ma'am?%
\fnWoman{}
My hour has not yet come.
\VS{5} His mother says to the servants: Whatever he says to you, do.
\VS{6} Now six stone water jars were standing there according to the purification rites of the Jews,
each holding two or three measures%
\footnote{`measure' = 9 or 10 gallons. So this is about 20 to 30 gallons, 75 to 115 liters.}.
\VS{7} \Iesous says to them:
Fill the water jars with water.
And they filled them until full.
\VS{8} And he says to them: Now draw [some] and be bringing [it] to the headwaiter.
So they brought [some].
\VS{9} Now as the headwaiter tasted the water that has become wine,
and did not know whence it is, but the servants knew ---
those who have drawn the water, the headwaiter calls the bridegroom
\VS{10} and says to him:
Everyone\fnAnthropos{} first puts [out] the good wine,
and when they are drunk, [puts out] the inferior.
You have kept the good wine until now.
\VS{11} This beginning of the signs \Iesous
did in Cana of \Galilee and revealed his glory,
and his disciples trusted\fnPistisJohn{} in him.
\subsubsection{Cleansing the Temple}
\VS{12} After these [things] he went down into \Kapernaoum,
he and his mother and [his] brothers and his disciples,
and there they stayed not many days.
\VS{13} Now the Passover of the Jews was near,
and \Iesous went up into Jerusalem.
\VS{14} And he found in the temple [those] selling oxen and sheep and doves,
and money changers sitting.
\VS{15} And having made [a] whip out of small ropes, he threw all out of the temple,
both the sheep and the oxen,
and he poured out the money of the money changers and overturned the tables
\VS{16} and to those selling the doves he said:
Take these from here.
Be not making the house of my father [a] house of merchandise.%
\footnote{EMPORION, from which we get `Emporium', a marketplace.}
\VS{17} His disciples remembered that it is written\footnote{Ps.69:9},
\begin{verse}
The zeal [of your] house will consume me.
\end{verse}
\VS{18} So the Jews answered and said to him:
What sign do you show us, because you do these [things]?
\VS{19} \Iesous answered and said to them:
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise\fnEgeiro{} it.
\VS{20} So the Jews said:
This temple was built in forty-six years,
and you will raise it in three days?
\VS{21} But he said this concerning the temple of his body.
\VS{22} So when he was raised from [the] dead,
his disciples remembered that he was saying this,
and they trusted\fnPistisJohn{} the scriptures and the word that \Iesous said.
\subsubsection{\Iesous at the Passover Feast}
\VS{23} But when he was in Jerusalem in the Passover,
in the festival, many trusted in his name,
seeing his signs that he was doing.
\VS{24} But \Iesous himself was not trusting\fnPistisJohn{} himself with them
because he was knowing everything,
\VS{25} and because he was not having need that anyone witness concerning human-beings,\fnAnthropos{}
for he himself was knowing what was in human-beings.
