January 7, John the Baptist.

The Gospel of John, conceived 4

In those days stood John and two of his disciples. And when he saw Jesus coming, he said, Behold the Lamb of God. Hearing these words from him, the two disciples followed Jesus. And Jesus, turning and seeing them coming, said to them, "What do you need? They said to Him, "Rabbi," which means "teacher," where do you live? He said to them, "Go and see." They went and saw where He lived; and they stayed with him that day. It was about ten o'clock. One of the two who heard from John about Jesus and followed Him was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. He is the first to find his brother Simon and says to him, "We have found the Messiah," which means, Christ; and brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked at him, and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas, which means a stone (Peter). On the morrow Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." And Philip was from Bethsaida, from the same city as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth." But Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Go and see." When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, he said of him, "Behold truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile." Nathanael said to Him, "Why do You know me? Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi! You are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him, "You believe, because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree; you will see more than this. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending to the Son of Man.

Евангелие от Иоанна, зачало 6

В те дни был брак в Кане Галилейской, и Матерь Иисуса была там. Был также зван Иисус и ученики Его на брак. И как недоставало вина, то Матерь Иисуса говорит Ему: вина нет у них. Иисус говорит Ей: что Мне и Тебе, Женщина? еще не пришел час Мой. Матерь Его сказала служителям: что скажет Он вам, то сделайте. Было же тут шесть каменных водоносов, стоявших по обычаю очищения Иудейского, вмещавших по две или по три меры. Иисус говорит им: наполните сосуды водою. И наполнили их до верха. И говорит им: теперь почерпните и несите к распорядителю пира. И понесли. Когда же распорядитель отведал воды, сделавшейся вином, — а он не знал, откуда это вино, знали только служители, почерпавшие воду, — тогда распорядитель зовет жениха и говорит ему: всякий человек подает сперва хорошее вино, а когда напьются, тогда худшее; а ты хорошее вино сберег доселе. Так положил Иисус начало чудесам в Кане Галилейской и явил славу Свою; и уверовали в Него ученики Его.
