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