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 nothing that was made was made without him.
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φωσ των ανθρωπων
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 και το φωσ εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not 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, so that all might believe through him.
8 ουκ ην εκεινοσ το φωσ αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτοσ
He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
9 ην το φωσ το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εισ τον κοσμον
The true light, which gives light to 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 know him.
11 εισ τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to his own, but his own people did not receive him.
12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοισ εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοισ πιστευουσιν εισ το ονομα αυτου
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
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
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from 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 cried out, “This is he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 και εκ του πληρωματοσ αυτου ημεισ παντεσ ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτοσ
Of his fullness we have all received, even grace upon grace.
17 οτι ο νομοσ δια μωσεωσ εδοθη η χαρισ και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
For the law was given through Moses, but 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 ever seen God, but the one and 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
This was the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are yoʋ?”
20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ
He did not refuse to answer, but openly declared, “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
So they asked him, “What then? Are yoʋ Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are yoʋ the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τισ ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοισ πεμψασιν ημασ τι λεγεισ περι σεαυτου
So they said to him, “Who are yoʋ? Tell us so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do yoʋ say about yoʋrself?”
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 out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
(Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.)
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεισ ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστοσ ουτε ηλιασ ουτε ο προφητησ
Then they asked him, “Why then do yoʋ baptize if yoʋ 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, “I baptize with water, but among you stands someone 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, who ranks ahead of me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 ταυτα εν βηθανια εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννησ βαπτιζων
These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει τον ιησουν ερχομενον προσ αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
On the next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, 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 myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννησ λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon 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
I myself did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon whom yoʋ see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
And I have seen it and can testify that this is the Son of God.”
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννησ και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
On the next day John was again standing with two of his disciples.
36 και εμβλεψασ τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου
As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντοσ και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
When the two disciples heard him say this, 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
Turning around, Jesus saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are yoʋ staying?”
39 λεγει αυτοισ ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα ην ωσ δεκατη
He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day; it was about the tenth hour.
40 ην ανδρεασ ο αδελφοσ σιμωνοσ πετρου εισ εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed Jesus.
41 ευρισκει ουτοσ πρωτοσ τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον χριστοσ
Andrew first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “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
and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “Yoʋ are Simon the son of Jonah; yoʋ shall be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”).
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν εξελθειν εισ την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ακολουθει μοι
On the next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 ην δε ο φιλιπποσ απο βηθσαιδα εκ τησ πολεωσ ανδρεου και πετρου
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.)
45 ευρισκει φιλιπποσ τον ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ον εγραψεν μωσησ εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν ιησουν τον υιον του ιωσηφ τον απο ναζαρετ
Philip then found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and of whom the prophets also 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
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from 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
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, 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 yoʋ know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called yoʋ, when yoʋ were under the fig tree, I saw yoʋ.”
49 απεκριθη ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ραββι συ ει ο υιοσ του θεου συ ει ο βασιλευσ του ισραηλ
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, yoʋ are the Son of God! Yoʋ are the king of Israel!”
50 απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι ειδον σε υποκατω τησ συκησ πιστευεισ μειζω τουτων οψει
Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ believe because I said to yoʋ, ‘I saw yoʋ under the fig tree’? Yoʋ 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
Then he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before long you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
