Κατα Ιωαννην 1
1 εν αρχη ην ο λογος και ο λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ο λογος
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 ουτος ην εν αρχη προς τον θεον
He was in the beginning with God.
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φως των ανθρωπων
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 και το φως εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 εγενετο ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννης
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος ινα παντες πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 ουκ ην εκεινος το φως αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 ην το φως το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 εν τω κοσμω ην και ο κοσμος δι αυτου εγενετο και ο κοσμος αυτον ουκ εγνω
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 εις τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοις πιστευουσιν εις το ονομα αυτου
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 και ο λογος σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα πατρος πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 ιωαννης μαρτυρει περι αυτου και κεκραγεν λεγων ουτος ην ον ειπον ο οπισω μου ερχομενος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτος μου ην
John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 και εκ του πληρωματος αυτου ημεις παντες ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτος
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 οτι ο νομος δια μωυσεως εδοθη η χαρις και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 θεον ουδεις εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενης υιος ο ων εις τον κολπον του πατρος εκεινος εξηγησατο
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του ιωαννου οτε απεστειλαν οι ιουδαιοι εξ ιεροσολυμων ιερεις και λευιτας ινα ερωτησωσιν αυτον συ τις ει
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστος
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
21 και ηρωτησαν αυτον τι ουν ηλιας ει συ και λεγει ουκ ειμι ο προφητης ει συ και απεκριθη ου
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τις ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοις πεμψασιν ημας τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 εφη εγω φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω ευθυνατε την οδον κυριου καθως ειπεν ησαιας ο προφητης
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεις ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστος ουτε ηλιας ουτε ο προφητης
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιωαννης λεγων εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι μεσος δε υμων εστηκεν ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 αυτος εστιν ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν ου εγω ουκ ειμι αξιος ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματος
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 ταυτα εν βηθανια εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννης βαπτιζων
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει [ ο ιωαννης ] τον ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 ουτος εστιν περι ου εγω ειπον οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ ος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτος μου ην
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν τω υδατι βαπτιζων
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννης λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ο πεμψας με βαπτιζειν εν υδατι εκεινος μοι ειπεν εφ ον αν ιδης το πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ αυτον ουτος εστιν ο βαπτιζων εν πνευματι αγιω
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος του θεου
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννης και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 και εμβλεψας τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντος και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 στραφεις δε ο ιησους και θεασαμενος αυτους ακολουθουντας λεγει αυτοις τι ζητειτε οι δε ειπον αυτω ραββι ο λεγεται ερμηνευομενον διδασκαλε που μενεις
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 λεγει αυτοις ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον [ ουν ] και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα ην ως δεκατη
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 ην ανδρεας ο αδελφος σιμωνος πετρου εις εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 ευρισκει ουτος πρωτος τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον χριστος
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
42 και ηγαγεν αυτον προς τον ιησουν εμβλεψας αυτω ο ιησους ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιος ιωνα συ κληθηση κηφας ο ερμηνευεται πετρος
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο ιησους εξελθειν εις την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 ην δε ο φιλιππος απο βηθσαιδα εκ της πολεως ανδρεου και πετρου
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 ευρισκει φιλιππος τον ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ον εγραψεν μωυσης εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν ιησουν τον υιον του ιωσηφ τον απο ναζαρετ
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ ναζαρετ δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω φιλιππος ερχου και ιδε
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 ειδεν ο ιησους τον ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου ιδε αληθως ισραηλιτης εν ω δολος ουκ εστιν
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεις απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 απεκριθη ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ραββι συ ει ο υιος του θεου συ ει ο βασιλευς του ισραηλ
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης πιστευεις μειζω τουτων οψει
Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 και λεγει αυτω αμην αμην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον ουρανον ανεωγοτα και τους αγγελους του θεου αναβαινοντας και καταβαινοντας επι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
