Book of Common Prayer

¹¹ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one, for which sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying: I will declare your name to my brethren, and in the midst of the congregation I will praise you. ¹³ And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, here am I and the children that God has given me.

¹⁴ Considering then that the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, in order to put down through death him that had lordship over death – that is to say, the devil – ¹⁵ and to deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For in no place does he take on him the angels, but he takes the seed of Abraham on him. ¹⁷ Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he could be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, in order to purge the people’s sins. ¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered and was tried, he is able to succour those who are tried.

Christ turns the water into wine, and drives the buyers and sellers out of the temple.

2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana, a village of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ² And Jesus was invited also, and his disciples, to the marriage. ³ And when the wine failed, Jesus’ mother said to him, They have no wine. ⁴ Jesus said to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour is not yet come. ⁵ And his mother said to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.

⁶ And there were standing there six waterpots of stone, for the purification rites of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. ⁷ And Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸ And he said to them, Draw some out now, and bring it to the master of the feast. And they brought it.

⁹ When the master of the feast tasted the water that was turned to wine, and did not know where it was from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom ¹⁰ and said to him, All men at the beginning set out good wine, and when people have drunk, then that which is worse. But you have kept back the good wine until now.

¹¹ This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory, and his disciples believed on him. ¹² After that, he descended into Capernaum with his mother and his brethren and his disciples, but continued not many days there.
