49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the figtree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man,

CHAP. II.

Water turned into wine.

TROIS jours après on faisoit AND the third day there was

en Galilée, et la mère de Jésus y étoit.

a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 Et Jésus fut aussi convié aux noces, lui et ses disciples.

3 Le vin ayant manqué, la mère de Jésus lui dit: Ils n'ont plus de vin.

4 Mais Jésus lui répondit: Femme, qu'y a-t-il entre moi et toi? Mon heure n'est pas encore venue.

2 And both Jesus was called and his disciples to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet

come.

5 Sa mère dit à ceux qui servoient: Faites tout ce qu'il vous dira.

6 Or il y avoit là six vaisseaux de pierre, mis pour servir aux purifications des Juifs, et qui tenoient chacun deux ou trois

mesures.

7 Jésus leur dit: Emplissez d'eau ces vaisseaux; et ils les emplirent jusqu'au haut.

8 Et il leur dit: puisez-en maintenant, et portez-en au maître d'hôtel. Et ils lui en portè

rent.

9 Quand le maître d'hôtel eut goûté l'eau qui avoit été changée en vin, (or il ne savoit pas d'où ce vin venoit, mais les serviteurs qui avoient puisé l'eau le savoient bien ;) il appela l'époux,

10 Et lui dit: Tout homme sert d'abord le bon vin, et ensuite le moindre, après qu'on a beaucoup bu; mais toi, tu as gardé le bon vin jusqu'à pré

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

taureaux; il répandit la monnoie des changeurs, et renversa leurs tables;

16 Et il dit à ceux qui vendoient les pigeons: Otez tout cela d'ici, et ne faites pas de la maison de mon Père une maison de marché.

17 Alors ses disciples se souvinrent de ce qui est écrit: Le zèle de ta maison m'a dévoré.

18 Les Juifs prenant la parole lui dirent: Par quel signe nous montres-tu que tu as le pouvoir de faire de telles choses?

19 Jésus répondit et leur dit: Abattez ce temple, et je le releverai dans trois jours.

20 Les Juifs lui dirent: On a été quarante-six ans à bâtir ce temple, et tu le releveras dans trois jours!

21 Mais il parloit du temple de son corps.

22 Après donc qu'il fut ressuscité des morts, ses disciples se souvinrent qu'il leur avoit dit cela; et ils crurent à l'écriture, et à cette parole que Jésus avoit dite.

23 Pendant qu'il étoit à Jérusalem à la fête de Pâque, plusieurs crurent en lui, voyant les miracles qu'il fai

soit.

24 Mais Jésus ne se fioit point à eux, parcequ'il les connoissoit

the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

tous;

25 Et qu'il n'avoit pas besoin que personne lui rendît témoignage d'aucun homme, car il connoissoit par lui-même ce qui étoit dans l'homme.

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandize.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

CHAP. III.

Jésus-Christ s'entretient avec Nicodème sur la régénération, etc. Jean-Baptiste lui rend témoignage.

Ly avoit un homme d'entre les THER

Pharisiens, nommé Nicodème, l'un des principaux des Juifs.

2 Cet homme vint de nuit trouver Jésus, et lui dit: Maître, nous savons que tu es un docteur venu de la part de Dieu; car personne ne sauroit faire ces miracles que tu fais, si Dieu n'est avec lui.

3 Jésus lui répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je te dis que si un homme ne naît de nouveau, il ne peut voir le royaume de Dieu.

4 Nicodème lui dit: Comment un homme peut-il naître, quand il est vieux? Peut-il rentrer dans le ventre de sa mère, et naître une seconde fois ?

CHAP. III.

Christ's conference with Nicodemus.

HERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born, when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11 Verily, verily, I say unto

thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man, which is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved:

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
