Κατα Ιωαννην 6
1 μετα ταυτα απηλθεν ο ιησους περαν της θαλασσης της γαλιλαιας της τιβεριαδος
After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).
2 ηκολουθει δε αυτω οχλος πολυς οτι εθεωρουν τα σημεια α εποιει επι των ασθενουντων
A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.
3 ανηλθεν δε εις το ορος ιησους και εκει εκαθητο μετα των μαθητων αυτου
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
4 ην δε εγγυς το πασχα η εορτη των ιουδαιων
Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.
5 επαρας ουν τους οφθαλμους ο ιησους και θεασαμενος οτι πολυς οχλος ερχεται προς αυτον λεγει προς φιλιππον ποθεν αγορασωμεν αρτους ινα φαγωσιν ουτοι
When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
6 τουτο δε ελεγεν πειραζων αυτον αυτος γαρ ηδει τι εμελλεν ποιειν
But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
7 απεκριθη αυτω {VAR2: [ο] } φιλιππος διακοσιων δηναριων αρτοι ουκ αρκουσιν αυτοις ινα εκαστος βραχυ {VAR2: [τι] } λαβη
Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”
8 λεγει αυτω εις εκ των μαθητων αυτου ανδρεας ο αδελφος σιμωνος πετρου
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
9 εστιν παιδαριον ωδε ος εχει πεντε αρτους κριθινους και δυο οψαρια αλλα ταυτα τι εστιν εις τοσουτους
“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”
10 ειπεν ο ιησους ποιησατε τους ανθρωπους αναπεσειν ην δε χορτος πολυς εν τω τοπω ανεπεσαν ουν οι ανδρες τον αριθμον ως πεντακισχιλιοι
“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
11 ελαβεν ουν τους αρτους ο ιησους και ευχαριστησας διεδωκεν τοις ανακειμενοις ομοιως και εκ των οψαριων οσον ηθελον
Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.
12 ως δε ενεπλησθησαν λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου συναγαγετε τα περισσευσαντα κλασματα ινα μη τι αποληται
And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”
13 συνηγαγον ουν και εγεμισαν δωδεκα κοφινους κλασματων εκ των πεντε αρτων των κριθινων α επερισσευσαν τοις βεβρωκοσιν
So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14 οι ουν ανθρωποι ιδοντες {VAR1: α εποιησεν σημεια } {VAR2: ο εποιησεν σημειον } ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο προφητης ο ερχομενος εις τον κοσμον
When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 ιησους ουν γνους οτι μελλουσιν ερχεσθαι και αρπαζειν αυτον ινα ποιησωσιν βασιλεα ανεχωρησεν παλιν εις το ορος αυτος μονος
Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
16 ως δε οψια εγενετο κατεβησαν οι μαθηται αυτου επι την θαλασσαν
When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
17 και εμβαντες εις πλοιον ηρχοντο περαν της θαλασσης εις καφαρναουμ και σκοτια ηδη εγεγονει και ουπω εληλυθει προς αυτους ο ιησους
got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
18 η τε θαλασσα ανεμου μεγαλου πνεοντος διεγειρετο
A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.
19 εληλακοτες ουν ως σταδιους εικοσι πεντε η τριακοντα θεωρουσιν τον ιησουν περιπατουντα επι της θαλασσης και εγγυς του πλοιου γινομενον και εφοβηθησαν
When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.
20 ο δε λεγει αυτοις εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”
21 ηθελον ουν λαβειν αυτον εις το πλοιον και ευθεως εγενετο το πλοιον επι της γης εις ην υπηγον
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
22 τη επαυριον ο οχλος ο εστηκως περαν της θαλασσης ειδον οτι πλοιαριον αλλο ουκ ην εκει ει μη εν και οτι ου συνεισηλθεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο ιησους εις το πλοιον αλλα μονοι οι μαθηται αυτου απηλθον
The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.
23 αλλα ηλθεν {VAR1: πλοια } {VAR2: (πλοιαρια) } εκ τιβεριαδος εγγυς του τοπου οπου εφαγον τον αρτον ευχαριστησαντος του κυριου
However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 οτε ουν ειδεν ο οχλος οτι ιησους ουκ εστιν εκει ουδε οι μαθηται αυτου ενεβησαν αυτοι εις τα πλοιαρια και ηλθον εις καφαρναουμ ζητουντες τον ιησουν
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.
25 και ευροντες αυτον περαν της θαλασσης ειπον αυτω ραββι ποτε ωδε γεγονας
When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
26 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους και ειπεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ζητειτε με ουχ οτι ειδετε σημεια αλλ οτι εφαγετε εκ των αρτων και εχορτασθητε
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27 εργαζεσθε μη την βρωσιν την απολλυμενην αλλα την βρωσιν την μενουσαν εις ζωην αιωνιον ην ο υιος του ανθρωπου υμιν δωσει τουτον γαρ ο πατηρ εσφραγισεν ο θεος (aiōnios g166)
Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” (aiōnios g166)
28 ειπον ουν προς αυτον τι ποιωμεν ινα εργαζωμεθα τα εργα του θεου
Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
29 απεκριθη {VAR1: ο } {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις τουτο εστιν το εργον του θεου ινα πιστευητε εις ον απεστειλεν εκεινος
Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
30 ειπον ουν αυτω τι ουν ποιεις συ σημειον ινα ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν σοι τι εργαζη
So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?
31 οι πατερες ημων το μαννα εφαγον εν τη ερημω καθως εστιν γεγραμμενον αρτον εκ του ουρανου εδωκεν αυτοις φαγειν
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ου μωυσης {VAR1: εδωκεν } {VAR2: δεδωκεν } υμιν τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου αλλ ο πατηρ μου διδωσιν υμιν τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου τον αληθινον
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 ο γαρ αρτος του θεου εστιν ο καταβαινων εκ του ουρανου και ζωην διδους τω κοσμω
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 ειπον ουν προς αυτον κυριε παντοτε δος ημιν τον αρτον τουτον
“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”
35 ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης ο ερχομενος προς εμε ου μη πειναση και ο πιστευων εις εμε ου μη διψησει πωποτε
Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
36 αλλ ειπον υμιν οτι και εωρακατε [με] και ου πιστευετε
But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
37 παν ο διδωσιν μοι ο πατηρ προς εμε ηξει και τον ερχομενον προς {VAR1: με } {VAR2: εμε } ου μη εκβαλω εξω
Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
38 οτι καταβεβηκα απο του ουρανου ουχ ινα ποιω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
39 τουτο δε εστιν το θελημα του πεμψαντος με ινα παν ο δεδωκεν μοι μη απολεσω εξ αυτου αλλα αναστησω αυτο {VAR2: [εν] } τη εσχατη ημερα
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.
40 τουτο γαρ εστιν το θελημα του πατρος μου ινα πας ο θεωρων τον υιον και πιστευων εις αυτον εχη ζωην αιωνιον και αναστησω αυτον εγω {VAR2: [εν] } τη εσχατη ημερα (aiōnios g166)
For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
41 εγογγυζον ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ειπεν εγω ειμι ο αρτος ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου
At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
42 και ελεγον {VAR1: ουχι } {VAR2: ουχ } ουτος εστιν ιησους ο υιος ιωσηφ ου ημεις οιδαμεν τον πατερα και την μητερα πως νυν λεγει οτι εκ του ουρανου καταβεβηκα
They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”
43 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις μη γογγυζετε μετ αλληλων
“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.
44 ουδεις δυναται ελθειν προς με εαν μη ο πατηρ ο πεμψας με ελκυση αυτον καγω αναστησω αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 εστιν γεγραμμενον εν τοις προφηταις και εσονται παντες διδακτοι θεου πας ο ακουσας παρα του πατρος και μαθων ερχεται προς εμε
It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
46 ουχ οτι τον πατερα εωρακεν τις ει μη ο ων παρα {VAR1: [του] } {VAR2: του } θεου ουτος εωρακεν τον πατερα
not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης
I am the bread of life.
49 οι πατερες υμων εφαγον εν τη ερημω το μαννα και απεθανον
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
50 ουτος εστιν ο αρτος ο εκ του ουρανου καταβαινων ινα τις εξ αυτου φαγη και μη αποθανη
This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 εγω ειμι ο αρτος ο ζων ο εκ του ουρανου καταβας εαν τις φαγη εκ τουτου του αρτου ζησει εις τον αιωνα και ο αρτος δε ον εγω δωσω η σαρξ μου εστιν υπερ της του κοσμου ζωης (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” (aiōn g165)
52 εμαχοντο ουν προς αλληλους οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες πως δυναται ουτος ημιν δουναι την σαρκα [αυτου] φαγειν
At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 ειπεν ουν αυτοις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη φαγητε την σαρκα του υιου του ανθρωπου και πιητε αυτου το αιμα ουκ εχετε ζωην εν εαυτοις
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
54 ο τρωγων μου την σαρκα και πινων μου το αιμα εχει ζωην αιωνιον καγω αναστησω αυτον τη εσχατη ημερα (aiōnios g166)
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 η γαρ σαρξ μου αληθης εστιν βρωσις και το αιμα μου αληθης εστιν ποσις
For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
56 ο τρωγων μου την σαρκα και πινων μου το αιμα εν εμοι μενει καγω εν αυτω
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
57 καθως απεστειλεν με ο ζων πατηρ καγω ζω δια τον πατερα και ο τρωγων με κακεινος ζησει δι εμε
Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58 ουτος εστιν ο αρτος ο εξ ουρανου καταβας ου καθως εφαγον οι πατερες και απεθανον ο τρωγων τουτον τον αρτον ζησει εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
59 ταυτα ειπεν εν συναγωγη διδασκων εν καφαρναουμ
Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60 πολλοι ουν ακουσαντες εκ των μαθητων αυτου ειπαν σκληρος εστιν ο λογος ουτος τις δυναται αυτου ακουειν
On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”
61 ειδως δε ο ιησους εν εαυτω οτι γογγυζουσιν περι τουτου οι μαθηται αυτου ειπεν αυτοις τουτο υμας σκανδαλιζει
Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?
62 εαν ουν θεωρητε τον υιον του ανθρωπου αναβαινοντα οπου ην το προτερον
Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?
63 το πνευμα εστιν το ζωοποιουν η σαρξ ουκ ωφελει ουδεν τα ρηματα α εγω λελαληκα υμιν πνευμα εστιν και ζωη εστιν
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64 αλλ εισιν εξ υμων τινες οι ου πιστευουσιν ηδει γαρ εξ αρχης ο ιησους τινες εισιν οι μη πιστευοντες και τις εστιν ο παραδωσων αυτον
However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)
65 και ελεγεν δια τουτο ειρηκα υμιν οτι ουδεις δυναται ελθειν προς με εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του πατρος
Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
66 εκ τουτου πολλοι {VAR1: εκ } {VAR2: [εκ] } των μαθητων αυτου απηλθον εις τα οπισω και ουκετι μετ αυτου περιεπατουν
From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
67 ειπεν ουν ο ιησους τοις δωδεκα μη και υμεις θελετε υπαγειν
So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
69 και ημεις πεπιστευκαμεν και εγνωκαμεν οτι συ ει ο αγιος του θεου
We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
70 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους ουκ εγω υμας τους δωδεκα εξελεξαμην και εξ υμων εις διαβολος εστιν
Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
71 ελεγεν δε τον ιουδαν σιμωνος ισκαριωτου ουτος γαρ εμελλεν παραδιδοναι αυτον εις εκ των δωδεκα
He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
