Coptic New Testament
1The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲡ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ.
2Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
2ⲁⲩⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ.
3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲏⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁϧⲟ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϩⲱⲓ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ.
5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

6Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
6ⲛⲁⲩⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲩⲇⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲃ̅ ⲓⲉ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲓ.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
7ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲩⲇⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲙⲁϩⲟⲩ ϣⲁ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ.
8He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.

9When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom

10and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”

11This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

13The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
14He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

15He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.

16To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϯ ϭⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲗⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲧ.
17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”

18The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
18ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ.
19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
19ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲉⲗ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
20The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
20ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲭ ⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
21⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
22When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
22ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
23ⲉϥⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
24But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

25and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
