24And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. 25And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou immerse, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet? 26John answered them, saying: I immerse in water. There stands one in the midst of you, whom ye know not; 27he who comes after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
28These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29On the morrow, he sees Jesus coming to him, and says: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he of whom I said: After me comes a man who is preferred before me; because he was before me[30]. 31And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this I came immersing in water.
32And John bore witness, saying: I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it abode upon him. 33And I knew him not; but he who sent me to immerse in water, the same said to me: Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding on him, the same is he who immerses in the Holy Spirit. 34And I have seen, and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
35Again, on the morrow, John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says: Behold the Lamb of God! 37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38And Jesus turning, and beholding them following, says to them: What seek ye? They said to him: Rabbi (which interpreted means, Teacher), where dost thou abide? 39He says to them: Come, and ye shall see. They came and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
40Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard it from John, and followed him. 41He first finds his brother Simon, and says to him: We have found the Messiah, which is interpreted, Christ. 42And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, beholding him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted, Peter[42].
43On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee. And he finds Philip; and Jesus says to him: Follow me. 44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets wrote, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth. 46And Nathanael said to him: Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him: Come and see. 47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48Nathanael says to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. 49Nathanael answered: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. 50Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these. 51And he says to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth[51] ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
II. And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. 2And Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to him: They have no wine. 4Jesus says to her: Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come. 5His mother says to the servants: Whatever he says to you, do it. 6Now there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the Jewish custom of purifying, containing two or three firkins[6] apiece. 7Jesus says to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he says to them: Draw out now, and bear to the ruler of the feast. And they bore it. 9When the ruler of the feast tasted the water that was made wine (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom, 10and says to him: Every man sets forth the good wine first; and when they have drunk freely, then that which is worse. Thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of the signs Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they abode there not many days.
13And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14And he found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting. 15And having made a scourge of small cords, he drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16and to those who sold doves he said: Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. 17And his disciples remembered that it is written: for thy house consumes me.
