< John 7 >

1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
και περιεπατει ο ιησους μετα ταυτα εν τη γαλιλαια ου γαρ ηθελεν εν τη ιουδαια περιπατειν οτι εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
ην δε εγγυς η εορτη των ιουδαιων η σκηνοπηγια
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
ειπον ουν προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εις την ιουδαιαν ινα και οι μαθηται σου θεωρησωσιν τα εργα σου α ποιεις
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
ουδεις γαρ εν κρυπτω τι ποιει και ζητει αυτος εν παρρησια ειναι ει ταυτα ποιεις φανερωσον σεαυτον τω κοσμω
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
ουδε γαρ οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
λεγει ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω παρεστιν ο δε καιρος ο υμετερος παντοτε εστιν ετοιμος
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
ου δυναται ο κοσμος μισειν υμας εμε δε μισει οτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα εστιν
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
υμεις αναβητε εις την εορτην ταυτην εγω ουπω αναβαινω εις την εορτην ταυτην οτι ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω πεπληρωται
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
ταυτα δε ειπων αυτοις εμεινεν εν τη γαλιλαια
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
ως δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην ου φανερως αλλ ως εν κρυπτω
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
οι ουν ιουδαιοι εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον που εστιν εκεινος
12 There was much murmuring amongst the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
και γογγυσμος πολυς περι αυτου ην εν τοις οχλοις οι μεν ελεγον οτι αγαθος εστιν αλλοι ελεγον ου αλλα πλανα τον οχλον
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
ουδεις μεντοι παρρησια ελαλει περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
ηδη δε της εορτης μεσουσης ανεβη ο ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκεν
15 The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
και εθαυμαζον οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες πως ουτος γραμματα οιδεν μη μεμαθηκως
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
απεκριθη ουν αυτοις ο ιησους και ειπεν η εμη διδαχη ουκ εστιν εμη αλλα του πεμψαντος με
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
εαν τις θελη το θελημα αυτου ποιειν γνωσεται περι της διδαχης ποτερον εκ του θεου εστιν η εγω απ εμαυτου λαλω
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
ο αφ εαυτου λαλων την δοξαν την ιδιαν ζητει ο δε ζητων την δοξαν του πεμψαντος αυτον ουτος αληθης εστιν και αδικια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
ου μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν τον νομον και ουδεις εξ υμων ποιει τον νομον τι με ζητειτε αποκτειναι
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπεν δαιμονιον εχεις τις σε ζητει αποκτειναι
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις εν εργον εποιησα και παντες θαυμαζετε
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
δια τουτο μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεως εστιν αλλ εκ των πατερων και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
ει περιτομην λαμβανει ανθρωπος εν σαββατω ινα μη λυθη ο νομος μωσεως εμοι χολατε οτι ολον ανθρωπον υγιη εποιησα εν σαββατω
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”
μη κρινετε κατ οψιν αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
ελεγον ουν τινες εκ των ιεροσολυμιτων ουχ ουτος εστιν ον ζητουσιν αποκτειναι
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
και ιδε παρρησια λαλει και ουδεν αυτω λεγουσιν μηποτε αληθως εγνωσαν οι αρχοντες οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο χριστος
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
αλλα τουτον οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν ο δε χριστος οταν ερχηται ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν εστιν
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
εκραξεν ουν εν τω ιερω διδασκων ο ιησους και λεγων καμε οιδατε και οιδατε ποθεν ειμι και απ εμαυτου ουκ εληλυθα αλλ εστιν αληθινος ο πεμψας με ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
εγω οιδα αυτον οτι παρ αυτου ειμι κακεινος με απεστειλεν
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
εζητουν ουν αυτον πιασαι και ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον την χειρα οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εις αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο χριστος οταν ελθη μητι πλειονα σημεια τουτων ποιησει ων ουτος εποιησεν
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
ηκουσαν οι φαρισαιοι του οχλου γογγυζοντος περι αυτου ταυτα και απεστειλαν υπηρετας οι φαρισαιοι και οι αρχιερεις ινα πιασωσιν αυτον
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
ειπεν ουν ο ιησους ετι μικρον χρονον μεθ υμων ειμι και υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
35 The Jews therefore said amongst themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion amongst the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προς εαυτους που ουτος μελλει πορευεσθαι οτι ημεις ουχ ευρησομεν αυτον μη εις την διασποραν των ελληνων μελλει πορευεσθαι και διδασκειν τους ελληνας
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
τις εστιν ουτος ο λογος ον ειπεν ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
εν δε τη εσχατη ημερα τη μεγαλη της εορτης ειστηκει ο ιησους και εκραξεν λεγων εαν τις διψα ερχεσθω προς με και πινετω
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
ο πιστευων εις εμε καθως ειπεν η γραφη ποταμοι εκ της κοιλιας αυτου ρευσουσιν υδατος ζωντος
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
τουτο δε ειπεν περι του πνευματος ου εμελλον λαμβανειν οι πιστευοντες εις αυτον ουπω γαρ ην πνευμα αγιον οτι ιησους ουδεπω εδοξασθη
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
πολλοι ουν εκ του οχλου ακουσαντες τον λογον ελεγον ουτος εστιν αληθως ο προφητης
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
αλλοι ελεγον ουτος εστιν ο χριστος αλλοι ελεγον μη γαρ εκ της γαλιλαιας ο χριστος ερχεται
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
ουχι η γραφη ειπεν οτι εκ του σπερματος δαυιδ και απο βηθλεεμ της κωμης οπου ην δαυιδ ο χριστος ερχεται
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
σχισμα ουν εν τω οχλω εγενετο δι αυτον
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
τινες δε ηθελον εξ αυτων πιασαι αυτον αλλ ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον τας χειρας
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
ηλθον ουν οι υπηρεται προς τους αρχιερεις και φαρισαιους και ειπον αυτοις εκεινοι δια τι ουκ ηγαγετε αυτον
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται ουδεποτε ουτως ελαλησεν ανθρωπος ως ουτος ο ανθρωπος
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
απεκριθησαν ουν αυτοις οι φαρισαιοι μη και υμεις πεπλανησθε
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
μη τις εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εις αυτον η εκ των φαρισαιων
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
αλλ ο οχλος ουτος ο μη γινωσκων τον νομον επικαταρατοι εισιν
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
λεγει νικοδημος προς αυτους ο ελθων νυκτος προς αυτον εις ων εξ αυτων
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
μη ο νομος ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον εαν μη ακουση παρ αυτου προτερον και γνω τι ποιει
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω μη και συ εκ της γαλιλαιας ει ερευνησον και ιδε οτι προφητης εκ της γαλιλαιας ουκ εγηγερται
53 Everyone went to his own house,
και απηλθεν εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου
