Κατα Ιωαννην 1
1 Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεόν, καὶ ˚Θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεόν.
This man was in the beginning with God.
3 Πάντα διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν ὃ γέγονεν.
All things came to be through him, and apart from him not even one thing came to be that has come to be.
4 Ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 Ἐγένετο ἄνθρωπος ἀπεσταλμένος παρὰ ˚Θεοῦ, ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωάννης.
A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.
7 Οὗτος ἦλθεν εἰς μαρτυρίαν, ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός, ἵνα πάντες πιστεύσωσιν διʼ αὐτοῦ.
This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖνος τὸ φῶς, ἀλλʼ ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός.
That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light.
9 Ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινὸν, ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον, ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.
10 Ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἔγνω.
He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἦλθεν, καὶ οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτὸν οὐ παρέλαβον.
He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.
12 Ὅσοι δὲ ἔλαβον αὐτόν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τέκνα ˚Θεοῦ γενέσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,
But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,
13 οἳ οὐκ ἐξ αἱμάτων, οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος σαρκὸς, οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος ἀνδρὸς, ἀλλʼ ἐκ ˚Θεοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν.
who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God.
14 Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός, πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κέκραγεν λέγων, “Οὗτος ἦν ὃν εἶπον, ‘Ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος, ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν.’”
John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.
16 Ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ, ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν καὶ χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος.
And from his fullness we all received, even grace for grace.
17 Ὅτι ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωϋσέως ἐδόθη, ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο.
Because the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ.
18 ˚Θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε· μονογενὴς ˚Θεὸς, ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ Πατρὸς, ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο.
No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.
19 Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Ἰωάννου, ὅτε ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐξ Ἱεροσολύμων ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευίτας, ἵνα ἐρωτήσωσιν αὐτόν, “Σὺ τίς εἶ;”
And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?
20 Καὶ ὡμολόγησεν καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο, καὶ ὡμολόγησεν, ὅτι “Ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ὁ ˚Χριστός.”
And he confessed, and did not deny, and confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν, “Τί οὖν; Σὺ Ἠλίας εἶ;” Καὶ λέγει, “Οὐκ εἰμί.” “Ὁ προφήτης εἶ σύ;” Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη, “Οὔ.”
And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ, “Τίς εἶ; Ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς. Τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ;”
They said therefore to him, Who are thou, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do thou say about thyself?
23 Ἔφη, “Ἐγὼ ‘Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ: “Εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν ˚Κυρίου”’, καθὼς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης.”
He said, I am the voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, just as the prophet Isaiah said.
24 Καὶ ἀπεσταλμένοι ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων.
And those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
25 Καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Τί οὖν βαπτίζεις, εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, οὐδὲ Ἠλίας, οὐδὲ ὁ προφήτης;”
And they asked him, and said to him, Why therefore do thou immerse if thou are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?
26 Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων, “Ἐγὼ βαπτίζω ἐν ὕδατι· μέσος ὑμῶν ἕστηκεν ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε,
John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but amidst you stands him whom ye know not.
27 ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἄξιος, ἵνα λύσω αὐτοῦ τὸν ἱμάντα τοῦ ὑποδήματος.”
He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe.
28 Ταῦτα ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐγένετο, πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅπου ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων.
These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was immersing.
29 Τῇ ἐπαύριον βλέπει τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ λέγει, “Ἴδε, ὁ Ἀμνὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου.
On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Οὗτός ἐστιν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον, ‘Ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεται ἀνὴρ, ὃς ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν.’
This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me.
31 Κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διὰ τοῦτο, ἦλθον ἐγὼ ἐν ὕδατι βαπτίζων.”
And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water.
32 Καὶ ἐμαρτύρησεν Ἰωάννης λέγων, ὅτι “Τεθέαμαι τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον ὡς περιστερὰν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
33 Κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας με βαπτίζειν ἐν ὕδατι, ἐκεῖνός μοι εἶπεν, ‘Ἐφʼ ὃν ἂν ἴδῃς τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον καὶ μένον ἐπʼ αὐτόν, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ βαπτίζων ἐν ˚Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.’
And I had not known him. But he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, Upon whomever thou will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 Κἀγὼ ἑώρακα καὶ μεμαρτύρηκα ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.
35 Τῇ ἐπαύριον πάλιν εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰωάννης, καὶ ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο.
Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples.
36 Καὶ ἐμβλέψας τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ περιπατοῦντι λέγει, “Ἴδε, ὁ Ἀμνὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ!”
And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ δύο αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ λαλοῦντος, καὶ ἠκολούθησαν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Στραφεὶς δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθοῦντας, λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί ζητεῖτε;” Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Ῥαββί” (ὃ λέγεται μεθερμηνευόμενον, “Διδάσκαλε”), “Ποῦ μένεις;”
And Jesus having turned, and having seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which says, being interpreted, Teacher), where do thou dwell?
39 Λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Ἔρχεσθε καὶ ὄψεσθε.” Ἦλθαν οὖν καὶ εἶδαν ποῦ μένει, καὶ παρʼ αὐτῷ ἔμειναν τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην· ὥρα ἦν ὡς δεκάτη.
He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Ἦν Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου, εἷς ἐκ τῶν δύο τῶν ἀκουσάντων παρὰ Ἰωάννου, καὶ ἀκολουθησάντων αὐτῷ.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him.
41 Εὑρίσκει οὗτος πρῶτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον Σίμωνα, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Εὑρήκαμεν τὸν Μεσσίαν”, (ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, “˚Χριστός”).
This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν. Ἐμβλέψας αὐτῷ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Σὺ εἶ Σίμων ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωάννου, σὺ κληθήσῃ Κηφᾶς”, (ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται, “Πέτρος”).
And he brought him to Jesus. And having seen him, Jesus said, Thou are Simon the son of Jonah. Thou will be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).
43 Τῇ ἐπαύριον ἠθέλησεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν. Καὶ εὑρίσκει Φίλιππον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀκολούθει μοι.”
On the morrow he wanted to go forth into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, Follow me.
44 Ἦν δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδά, ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Ἀνδρέου καὶ Πέτρου.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Εὑρίσκει Φίλιππος τὸν Ναθαναὴλ, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ὃν ἔγραψεν Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ οἱ προφῆται, εὑρήκαμεν ˚Ἰησοῦν υἱὸν τοῦ Ἰωσὴφ, τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρέτ.”
Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
46 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, “Ἐκ Ναζαρὲτ δύναταί τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι;” Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Φίλιππος, “Ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε.”
And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
47 Εἶδεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ναθαναὴλ ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει περὶ αὐτοῦ, “Ἴδε, ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλίτης ἐν ᾧ δόλος οὐκ ἔστιν.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says about him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.
48 Λέγει αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, “Πόθεν με γινώσκεις;” Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Πρὸ τοῦ σε Φίλιππον φωνῆσαι, ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν, εἶδόν σε.”
Nathanael says to him, How do thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, being under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, “Ῥαββί, σὺ εἶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, σὺ Βασιλεὺς εἶ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.”
Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.
50 Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ὅτι εἶπόν σοι ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις; Μείζω τούτων ὄψῃ.”
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believe? Thou will see greater than these things.
51 Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα, καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου.”
And he says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, henceforth ye will see the heaven opened, and the agents of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
