John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
ην δε ανθρωπος εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημος ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
ουτος ηλθεν προς αυτον νυκτος και ειπεν αυτω ραββι οιδαμεν οτι απο θεου εληλυθας διδασκαλος ουδεις γαρ δυναται ταυτα τα σημεια ποιειν α συ ποιεις εαν μη η ο θεος μετ αυτου
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see God’s Kingdom.”
απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τις γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
λεγει προς αυτον [ο] νικοδημος πως δυναται ανθρωπος γεννηθηναι γερων ων μη δυναται εις την κοιλιαν της μητρος αυτου δευτερον εισελθειν και γεννηθηναι
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter into God’s Kingdom.
απεκριθη {VAR1: [ο] } ιησους αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τις γεννηθη εξ υδατος και πνευματος ου δυναται εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
το γεγεννημενον εκ της σαρκος σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματος πνευμα εστιν
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
μη θαυμασης οτι ειπον σοι δει υμας γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
το πνευμα οπου θελει πνει και την φωνην αυτου ακουεις αλλ ουκ οιδας ποθεν ερχεται και που υπαγει ουτως εστιν πας ο γεγεννημενος εκ του πνευματος
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
απεκριθη νικοδημος και ειπεν αυτω πως δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλος του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεις
11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you do not receive our witness.
αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πως εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
και ουδεις αναβεβηκεν εις τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβας ο υιος του ανθρωπου
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
και καθως μωυσης υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτως υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
ινα πας ο πιστευων εν αυτω εχη ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
ουτως γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεος τον κοσμον ωστε τον υιον τον μονογενη εδωκεν ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον εις τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμος δι αυτου
18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
ο πιστευων εις αυτον ου κρινεται ο {VAR2: δε } μη πιστευων ηδη κεκριται οτι μη πεπιστευκεν εις το ονομα του μονογενους υιου του θεου
19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
αυτη δε εστιν η κρισις οτι το φως εληλυθεν εις τον κοσμον και ηγαπησαν οι ανθρωποι μαλλον το σκοτος η το φως ην γαρ αυτων πονηρα τα εργα
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
πας γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φως και ουκ ερχεται προς το φως ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προς το φως ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
ην δε και {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυς του σαλειμ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.
ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενος εις την φυλακην {VAR2: ο } ιωαννης
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
εγενετο ουν ζητησις εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
και ηλθον προς τον ιωαννην και ειπαν αυτω ραββι ος ην μετα σου περαν του ιορδανου ω συ μεμαρτυρηκας ιδε ουτος βαπτιζει και παντες ερχονται προς αυτον
27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
απεκριθη ιωαννης και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωπος λαμβανειν {VAR1: ουδεν } {VAR2: ουδε εν } εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
αυτοι υμεις μοι μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον {VAR1: [εγω] } {VAR2: [οτι] } ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστος αλλ οτι απεσταλμενος ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
ο εχων την νυμφην νυμφιος εστιν ο δε φιλος του νυμφιου ο εστηκως και ακουων αυτου χαρα χαιρει δια την φωνην του νυμφιου αυτη ουν η χαρα η εμη πεπληρωται
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
31 “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
ο ανωθεν ερχομενος επανω παντων εστιν ο ων εκ της γης εκ της γης εστιν και εκ της γης λαλει ο εκ του ουρανου ερχομενος {VAR1: επανω παντων εστιν } {VAR2: [επανω παντων εστιν] }
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεις λαμβανει
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεος αληθης εστιν
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεος τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν το πνευμα
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
