Book of Common Prayer

¹¹ For both the One making-holy and the ones being made holy are all from one Father^[a], for which reason He is not ashamed to be calling them brothers, ¹² saying “I will declare Your name to My brothers. I will sing-praise to You in the midst of the congregation” [Ps 22:22]; ¹³ and again [in Isa 8:17], “I will be trusting^[b] in Him”; and again [in Isa 8:18], “Behold— I and the children whom God gave to Me”.

So The Son Took On Mortal Flesh And Died To Release Us From The Power of Death

¹⁴ Therefore, since the children have shared of blood and flesh, He Himself also similarly partook of the same things in order that through death He might do-away-with^[c] the one having the power of death (that is, the devil), ¹⁵ and release these: all-who by the fear of death were subject-to^[d] slavery through all their living. ¹⁶ For He surely does not take-hold-of ^[e] angels, but He takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

He Had To Become Like Us In All Things In Order To Become a Merciful High Priest

¹⁷ Hence, He had-to become-like His brothers in all things in order that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in the things pertaining to God, so as to make-an-offering-for-satisfaction^[f] [of God’s wrath] as to the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For having Himself ^[g] been tempted^[h] in what He has suffered, He is able to help the ones being tempted.

They All Visit a Wedding, Where Jesus Reveals His Glory By Turning Water Into Wine

2 And on the third^[a] day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. And the mother of Jesus was there. ² And both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding-celebration. ³ And it having come-short-of wine, the mother of Jesus says to Him, “They do not have wine”. ⁴ And Jesus says to her, “What^[b] do I have to do with you, woman^[c]? My hour has not yet come”. ⁵ His mother says to the servants, “Do^[d] whatever thing He says to you”. ⁶ Now six stone waterpots were setting there for the purification^[e] [rite] of the Jews, each having-room-for two or three measures^[f]. ⁷ Jesus says to them, “Fill the waterpots with water”. And they filled them up to the top. ⁸ And He says to them, “Draw some now, and carry it to the headwaiter^[g]”. And the ones carried it. ⁹ And when the headwaiter tasted the water having become wine— and he did not know where it was from, but the servants having drawn the water knew— the headwaiter calls the bridegroom, ¹⁰ and says to him, “Every person first puts out the fine wine, and when they get-drunk^[h], the lesser. You have kept the fine wine until now”. ¹¹ Jesus did this beginning^[i] of signs in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory. And His disciples believed in Him. ¹² After this He went down to Capernaum— He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples. And they stayed there not many days.
