The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 50: John: The Challoner Revision
Bible. John
2:10. And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and
when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept
the good wine until now.
2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and
manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
2:12. After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his
brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
2:13. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
2:14. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money sitting.
2:15. And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he
drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the
money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
2:16. And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and
make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
2:17. And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy
house hath eaten me up.
2:18. The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost
thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
2:19. Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three
days I will raise it up.
2:20. The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in
building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
2:21. But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22. When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and
the word that Jesus had said.
2:23. Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day,
many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
2:24. But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all
men,
2:25. And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man:
for he knew what was in man.
John Chapter 3
Christ's discourse with Nicodemus. John's testimony.
3:1. And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
the Jews.
3:2. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know
that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs
which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3:3. Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a
man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3:4. Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can
he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again?
3:5. Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born
again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God.
Unless a man be born again, etc... By these words our Saviour hath
declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident
that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19.
3:6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit.
