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
This was in the beginning with God.
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
All things were made by him, and without him not a single creature was 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 man.
5 και το φως εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
6 εγενετο ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννης
A man named John, was sent from God.
7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος ινα παντες πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου
This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
8 ουκ ην εκεινος το φως αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος
He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
9 ην το φως το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον
The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
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 by him; yet the world knew him not.
11 εις τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to his own land, and 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 as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν
who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from 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 incarnate, and sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of favor 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
(It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
16 και εκ του πληρωματος αυτου ημεις παντες ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτος
Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
17 οτι ο νομος δια μωσεως εδοθη η χαρις και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
for the law was given by Moses--the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 θεον ουδεις εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενης υιος ο ων εις τον κολπον του πατρος εκεινος εξηγησατο
No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who 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
Now this is the testimony of John. When the Jews 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
he acknowledged, and denied not, but acknowledged, saying, I am not the Messiah.
21 και ηρωτησαν αυτον τι ουν ηλιας ει συ και λεγει ουκ ειμι ο προφητης ει συ και απεκριθη ου
And they asked him, Who, then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No.
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τις ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοις πεμψασιν ημας τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου
They said, Tell, then, who you are, that we may return an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
23 εφη εγω φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω ευθυνατε την οδον κυριου καθως ειπεν ησαιας ο προφητης
He answered, I am he whose voice proclaims in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," as said, the Prophet Isaiah.
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
Now they who were sent, were of 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 questioned him further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, 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, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not.
27 αυτος εστιν ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν ου εγω ουκ ειμι αξιος ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματος
It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose.
28 ταυτα εν βηθαβαρα εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννης βαπτιζων
This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει ο ιωαννης τον ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that 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, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me.
31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν τω υδατι βαπτιζων
As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννης λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining 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
For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος του θεου
Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννης και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
The next day, John, being with two of his disciples,
36 και εμβλεψας τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου
observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντος και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
The two disciples hearing this, 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 turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher, ) where do you dwell?
39 λεγει αυτοις ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα δε ην ως δεκατη
He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day.
40 ην ανδρεας ο αδελφος σιμωνος πετρου εις εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 ευρισκει ουτος πρωτος τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον ο χριστος
The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.)
42 και ηγαγεν αυτον προς τον ιησουν εμβλεψας δε αυτω ο ιησους ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιος ιωνα συ κληθηση κηφας ο ερμηνευεται πετρος
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο ιησους εξελθειν εις την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι
The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me.
44 ην δε ο φιλιππος απο βηθσαιδα εκ της πολεως ανδρεου και πετρου
Now Philip was of 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 ναζαρεθ
Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ ναζαρεθ δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω φιλιππος ερχου και ιδε
Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, 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, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom is no guile.
48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεις απεκριθη ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε
Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you.
49 απεκριθη ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ραββι συ ει ο υιος του θεου συ ει ο βασιλευς του ισραηλ
Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you 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, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe!
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
He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.
