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 μωσησ 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 μωσησ δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεωσ 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 μωσεωσ 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 δια τι 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 επορευθη εκαστοσ εισ τον οικον αυτου
Then everyone went to his own house,
