John 8
1 except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
ιησους δε επορευθη εις το ορος των ελαιων
2 But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
ορθρου δε παλιν παρεγενετο εις το ιερον {VAR1: [και } {VAR2: και } πας ο λαος ηρχετο προς αυτον και καθισας εδιδασκεν {VAR1: αυτους] } {VAR2: αυτους }
3 Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
αγουσιν δε οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι γυναικα επι μοιχεια κατειλημμενην και στησαντες αυτην εν μεσω
4 and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was found in the act of adultery.
λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε αυτη η γυνη κατειληπται επ αυτοφωρω μοιχευομενη
5 Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?’
εν δε τω νομω {VAR1: [ημιν] } {VAR2: ημιν } μωυσης ενετειλατο τας τοιαυτας λιθαζειν συ ουν τι λεγεις
6 They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
{VAR1: [τουτο } {VAR2: τουτο } δε ελεγον πειραζοντες αυτον ινα εχωσιν κατηγορειν {VAR1: αυτου] } {VAR2: αυτου } ο δε ιησους κατω κυψας τω δακτυλω κατεγραφεν εις την γην
7 However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said, ‘Let the person among you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.’
ως δε επεμενον ερωτωντες {VAR1: [αυτον] } {VAR2: αυτον } ανεκυψεν και ειπεν {VAR1: [αυτοις] } {VAR2: αυτοις } ο αναμαρτητος υμων πρωτος επ αυτην βαλετω λιθον
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
και παλιν κατακυψας εγραφεν εις την γην
9 When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
οι δε ακουσαντες εξηρχοντο εις καθ εις αρξαμενοι απο των πρεσβυτερων και κατελειφθη μονος και η γυνη εν μεσω ουσα
10 Raising himself, Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?’
ανακυψας δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτη γυναι που εισιν ουδεις σε κατεκρινεν
11 ‘No one, Sir,’ she answered. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus ‘go, and do not sin again.’
η δε ειπεν ουδεις κυριε ειπεν δε ο ιησους ουδε εγω σε κατακρινω πορευου {VAR2: [και] } απο του νυν μηκετι αμαρτανε]]
12 Jesus again addressed the people. ‘I am the light of the world,’ he said. ‘The person who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’
παλιν ουν αυτοις ελαλησεν {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους λεγων εγω ειμι το φως του κοσμου ο ακολουθων {VAR1: μοι } {VAR2: εμοι } ου μη περιπατηση εν τη σκοτια αλλ εξει το φως της ζωης
13 ‘You are bearing testimony to yourself!’ exclaimed the Pharisees, ‘your testimony is not trustworthy.’
ειπον ουν αυτω οι φαρισαιοι συ περι σεαυτου μαρτυρεις η μαρτυρια σου ουκ εστιν αληθης
14 ‘Even if I bear testimony to myself,’ answered Jesus, ‘my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις καν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια μου οτι οιδα ποθεν ηλθον και που υπαγω υμεις δε ουκ οιδατε ποθεν ερχομαι η που υπαγω
15 You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
υμεις κατα την σαρκα κρινετε εγω ου κρινω ουδενα
16 Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
και εαν κρινω δε εγω η κρισις η εμη αληθινη εστιν οτι μονος ουκ ειμι αλλ εγω και ο πεμψας με {VAR1: [πατηρ] } {VAR2: πατηρ }
17 Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
και εν τω νομω δε τω υμετερω γεγραπται οτι δυο ανθρωπων η μαρτυρια αληθης εστιν
18 I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.’
εγω ειμι ο μαρτυρων περι εμαυτου και μαρτυρει περι εμου ο πεμψας με πατηρ
19 ‘Where is your father, then?’ they asked. ‘You know neither me nor my Father,’ replied Jesus. ‘If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.’
ελεγον ουν αυτω που εστιν ο πατηρ σου απεκριθη ιησους ουτε εμε οιδατε ουτε τον πατερα μου ει εμε ηδειτε και τον πατερα μου αν ηδειτε
20 These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
ταυτα τα ρηματα ελαλησεν εν τω γαζοφυλακιω διδασκων εν τω ιερω και ουδεις επιασεν αυτον οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
21 Jesus again spoke to the people. ‘I am going away,’ he said, ‘and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.’
ειπεν ουν παλιν αυτοις εγω υπαγω και ζητησετε με και εν τη αμαρτια υμων αποθανεισθε οπου εγω υπαγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
22 ‘Is he going to kill himself,’ the people exclaimed, ‘that he says – “You cannot go where I am going”?’
ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι μητι αποκτενει εαυτον οτι λεγει οπου εγω υπαγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
23 ‘You,’ added Jesus, ‘are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
και ελεγεν αυτοις υμεις εκ των κατω εστε εγω εκ των ανω ειμι υμεις εκ τουτου του κοσμου εστε εγω ουκ ειμι εκ του κοσμου τουτου
24 and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.’
ειπον ουν υμιν οτι αποθανεισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων εαν γαρ μη πιστευσητε οτι εγω ειμι αποθανεισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
25 ‘Who are you?’ they asked. ‘Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?’ said Jesus.
ελεγον ουν αυτω συ τις ει ειπεν αυτοις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους την αρχην ο τι και λαλω υμιν
26 ‘I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.’
πολλα εχω περι υμων λαλειν και κρινειν αλλ ο πεμψας με αληθης εστιν καγω α ηκουσα παρ αυτου ταυτα λαλω εις τον κοσμον
27 They did not understand that he meant the Father.
ουκ εγνωσαν οτι τον πατερα αυτοις ελεγεν
28 So Jesus added, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.
ειπεν ουν {VAR2: [αυτοις] } ο ιησους οταν υψωσητε τον υιον του ανθρωπου τοτε γνωσεσθε οτι εγω ειμι και απ εμαυτου ποιω ουδεν αλλα καθως εδιδαξεν με ο πατηρ ταυτα λαλω
29 Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.’
και ο πεμψας με μετ εμου εστιν ουκ αφηκεν με μονον οτι εγω τα αρεστα αυτω ποιω παντοτε
30 While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος πολλοι επιστευσαν εις αυτον
31 So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, ‘If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;
ελεγεν ουν ο ιησους προς τους πεπιστευκοτας αυτω ιουδαιους εαν υμεις μεινητε εν τω λογω τω εμω αληθως μαθηται μου εστε
32 and you will find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
και γνωσεσθε την αληθειαν και η αληθεια ελευθερωσει υμας
33 ‘We are descendants of Abraham,’ was their answer, ‘and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying “you will be set free”?’
απεκριθησαν προς αυτον σπερμα αβρααμ εσμεν και ουδενι δεδουλευκαμεν πωποτε πως συ λεγεις οτι ελευθεροι γενησεσθε
34 ‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
απεκριθη αυτοις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν δουλος εστιν {VAR1: [της αμαρτιας] } {VAR2: της αμαρτιας }
ο δε δουλος ου μενει εν τη οικια εις τον αιωνα ο υιος μενει εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
36 If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
εαν ουν ο υιος υμας ελευθερωση οντως ελευθεροι εσεσθε
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.
οιδα οτι σπερμα αβρααμ εστε αλλα ζητειτε με αποκτειναι οτι ο λογος ο εμος ου χωρει εν υμιν
38 I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.’
α εγω εωρακα παρα τω πατρι λαλω και υμεις ουν α ηκουσατε παρα του πατρος ποιειτε
39 ‘Our father is Abraham,’ was their answer. ‘If you are Abraham’s children,’ replied Jesus, ‘do what Abraham did.
απεκριθησαν και ειπαν αυτω ο πατηρ ημων αβρααμ εστιν λεγει αυτοις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ει τεκνα του αβρααμ εστε τα εργα του αβρααμ {VAR1: ποιειτε } {VAR2: εποιειτε }
40 But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death – a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
νυν δε ζητειτε με αποκτειναι ανθρωπον ος την αληθειαν υμιν λελαληκα ην ηκουσα παρα του θεου τουτο αβρααμ ουκ εποιησεν
41 You are doing what your own father does.’ ‘We are not bastards,’ they said, ‘we have one Father – God himself.’
υμεις ποιειτε τα εργα του πατρος υμων ειπαν {VAR2: [ουν] } αυτω ημεις εκ πορνειας {VAR1: ουκ εγεννηθημεν } {VAR2: ου γεγεννημεθα } ενα πατερα εχομεν τον θεον
42 ‘If God were your Father,’ Jesus replied, ‘you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.
ειπεν αυτοις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ει ο θεος πατηρ υμων ην ηγαπατε αν εμε εγω γαρ εκ του θεου εξηλθον και ηκω ουδε γαρ απ εμαυτου εληλυθα αλλ εκεινος με απεστειλεν
43 How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
δια τι την λαλιαν την εμην ου γινωσκετε οτι ου δυνασθε ακουειν τον λογον τον εμον
44 As for you, you are children of your father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
υμεις εκ του πατρος του διαβολου εστε και τας επιθυμιας του πατρος υμων θελετε ποιειν εκεινος ανθρωποκτονος ην απ αρχης και εν τη αληθεια ουκ εστηκεν οτι ουκ εστιν αληθεια εν αυτω οταν λαλη το ψευδος εκ των ιδιων λαλει οτι ψευστης εστιν και ο πατηρ αυτου
45 But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
εγω δε οτι την αληθειαν λεγω ου πιστευετε μοι
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don’t you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
τις εξ υμων ελεγχει με περι αμαρτιας ει αληθειαν λεγω δια τι υμεις ου πιστευετε μοι
47 The person who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.’
ο ων εκ του θεου τα ρηματα του θεου ακουει δια τουτο υμεις ουκ ακουετε οτι εκ του θεου ουκ εστε
48 ‘Aren’t we right, after all,’ replied the people, ‘in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?’
απεκριθησαν οι ιουδαιοι και ειπαν αυτω ου καλως λεγομεν ημεις οτι σαμαριτης ει συ και δαιμονιον εχεις
49 ‘I am not possessed by a demon,’ Jesus answered, ‘but I am honouring my Father; and yet you dishonour me.
απεκριθη ιησους εγω δαιμονιον ουκ εχω αλλα τιμω τον πατερα μου και υμεις ατιμαζετε με
50 Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.
εγω δε ου ζητω την δοξαν μου εστιν ο ζητων και κρινων
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν εαν τις τον εμον λογον τηρηση θανατον ου μη θεωρηση εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
52 ‘Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,’ the people replied. ‘Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say “If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.” (aiōn g165)
ειπον {VAR2: [ουν] } αυτω οι ιουδαιοι νυν εγνωκαμεν οτι δαιμονιον εχεις αβρααμ απεθανεν και οι προφηται και συ λεγεις εαν τις τον λογον μου τηρηση ου μη γευσηται θανατου εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?’
μη συ μειζων ει του πατρος ημων αβρααμ οστις απεθανεν και οι προφηται απεθανον τινα σεαυτον ποιεις
54 ‘If I do honour to myself,’ answered Jesus, ‘such honour counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honour – and you say that he is your God;
απεκριθη ιησους εαν εγω δοξασω εμαυτον η δοξα μου ουδεν εστιν εστιν ο πατηρ μου ο δοξαζων με ον υμεις λεγετε οτι θεος {VAR1: υμων } {VAR2: ημων } εστιν
55 and yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his message to heart.
και ουκ εγνωκατε αυτον εγω δε οιδα αυτον καν ειπω οτι ουκ οιδα αυτον εσομαι ομοιος υμιν ψευστης αλλα οιδα αυτον και τον λογον αυτου τηρω
56 Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.’
αβρααμ ο πατηρ υμων ηγαλλιασατο ινα ιδη την ημεραν την εμην και ειδεν και εχαρη
57 ‘You are not fifty years old yet,’ the people exclaimed, ‘and have you seen Abraham?’
ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προς αυτον πεντηκοντα ετη ουπω εχεις και αβρααμ εωρακας
58 ‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘before Abraham existed I was.’
ειπεν αυτοις ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι
59 At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
ηραν ουν λιθους ινα βαλωσιν επ αυτον ιησους δε εκρυβη και εξηλθεν εκ του ιερου
