John 2:6
Douay-Rheims
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
George Leo Haydock
Two or three measures, [1] called metreta. Both the Latin and Greek text, by the derivation, may signify a measure in general, according to the Rhemish translation: but metreta was a particular measure of liquids: yet, not corresponding to our firkins, I could not think it proper with the Protestant and M. N. to put two or three firkins. (Witham)
