< Κατα Ιωαννην 14 >
1 μη ταρασσεσθω υμων η καρδια πιστευετε εις τον θεον και εις εμε πιστευετε
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 εν τη οικια του πατρος μου μοναι πολλαι εισιν ει δε μη ειπον αν υμιν οτι πορευομαι ετοιμασαι τοπον υμιν
In my Father’s Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 και εαν πορευθω και ετοιμασω τοπον υμιν παλιν ερχομαι και παραλημψομαι υμας προς εμαυτον ινα οπου ειμι εγω και υμεις ητε
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 και οπου {VAR1: εγω } {VAR2: [εγω] } υπαγω οιδατε την οδον
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 λεγει αυτω θωμας κυριε ουκ οιδαμεν που υπαγεις πως {VAR1: οιδαμεν την οδον } {VAR2: δυναμεθα την οδον ειδεναι }
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
6 λεγει αυτω {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους εγω ειμι η οδος και η αληθεια και η ζωη ουδεις ερχεται προς τον πατερα ει μη δι εμου
Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 ει {VAR1: εγνωκειτε } {VAR2: εγνωκατε } με και τον πατερα μου {VAR1: αν ηδειτε } {VAR2: γνωσεσθε και } απ αρτι γινωσκετε αυτον και εωρακατε {VAR2: αυτον }
If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 λεγει αυτω φιλιππος κυριε δειξον ημιν τον πατερα και αρκει ημιν
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
9 λεγει αυτω {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους {VAR1: τοσουτον χρονον } {VAR2: τοσουτω χρονω } μεθ υμων ειμι και ουκ εγνωκας με φιλιππε ο εωρακως εμε εωρακεν τον πατερα πως συ λεγεις δειξον ημιν τον πατερα
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 ου πιστευεις οτι εγω εν τω πατρι και ο πατηρ εν εμοι εστιν τα ρηματα α εγω λεγω υμιν απ εμαυτου ου λαλω ο δε πατηρ εν εμοι μενων ποιει τα εργα αυτου
Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
11 πιστευετε μοι οτι εγω εν τω πατρι και ο πατηρ εν εμοι ει δε μη δια τα εργα αυτα πιστευετε
Believe me,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
12 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο πιστευων εις εμε τα εργα α εγω ποιω κακεινος ποιησει και μειζονα τουτων ποιησει οτι εγω προς τον πατερα πορευομαι
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 και ο τι αν αιτησητε εν τω ονοματι μου τουτο ποιησω ινα δοξασθη ο πατηρ εν τω υιω
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 εαν τι αιτησητε {VAR1: [με] } {VAR2: με } εν τω ονοματι μου {VAR1: τουτο } {VAR2: εγω } ποιησω
If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
15 εαν αγαπατε με τας εντολας τας εμας τηρησετε
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 καγω ερωτησω τον πατερα και αλλον παρακλητον δωσει υμιν ινα {VAR1: η μεθ υμων εις τον αιωνα } {VAR2: μεθ υμων εις τον αιωνα η } (aiōn )
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn )
17 το πνευμα της αληθειας ο ο κοσμος ου δυναται λαβειν οτι ου θεωρει αυτο ουδε γινωσκει υμεις γινωσκετε αυτο οτι παρ υμιν μενει και εν υμιν {VAR1: εστιν } {VAR2: εσται }
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 ουκ αφησω υμας ορφανους ερχομαι προς υμας
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 ετι μικρον και ο κοσμος με ουκετι θεωρει υμεις δε θεωρειτε με οτι εγω ζω και υμεις ζησετε
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 εν εκεινη τη ημερα {VAR1: υμεις γνωσεσθε } {VAR2: γνωσεσθε υμεις } οτι εγω εν τω πατρι μου και υμεις εν εμοι καγω εν υμιν
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 ο εχων τας εντολας μου και τηρων αυτας εκεινος εστιν ο αγαπων με ο δε αγαπων με αγαπηθησεται υπο του πατρος μου καγω αγαπησω αυτον και εμφανισω αυτω εμαυτον
It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
22 λεγει αυτω ιουδας ουχ ο ισκαριωτης κυριε {VAR2: [και] } τι γεγονεν οτι ημιν μελλεις εμφανιζειν σεαυτον και ουχι τω κοσμω
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω εαν τις αγαπα με τον λογον μου τηρησει και ο πατηρ μου αγαπησει αυτον και προς αυτον ελευσομεθα και μονην παρ αυτω ποιησομεθα
“Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
24 ο μη αγαπων με τους λογους μου ου τηρει και ο λογος ον ακουετε ουκ εστιν εμος αλλα του πεμψαντος με πατρος
He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν παρ υμιν μενων
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 ο δε παρακλητος το πνευμα το αγιον ο πεμψει ο πατηρ εν τω ονοματι μου εκεινος υμας διδαξει παντα και υπομνησει υμας παντα α ειπον υμιν {VAR1: εγω } {VAR2: [εγω] }
but the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 ειρηνην αφιημι υμιν ειρηνην την εμην διδωμι υμιν ου καθως ο κοσμος διδωσιν εγω διδωμι υμιν μη ταρασσεσθω υμων η καρδια μηδε δειλιατω
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
28 ηκουσατε οτι εγω ειπον υμιν υπαγω και ερχομαι προς υμας ει ηγαπατε με εχαρητε αν οτι πορευομαι προς τον πατερα οτι ο πατηρ μειζων μου εστιν
You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 και νυν ειρηκα υμιν πριν γενεσθαι ινα οταν γενηται πιστευσητε
And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 ουκετι πολλα λαλησω μεθ υμων ερχεται γαρ ο του κοσμου αρχων και εν εμοι ουκ εχει ουδεν
I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
31 αλλ ινα γνω ο κοσμος οτι αγαπω τον πατερα και καθως {VAR1: εντολην εδωκεν } {VAR2: ενετειλατο } μοι ο πατηρ ουτως ποιω εγειρεσθε αγωμεν εντευθεν
but he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
