Κατα Ιωαννην 1
1 εν αρχη ην ο λογοσ και ο λογοσ ην προσ τον θεον και θεοσ ην ο λογοσ
From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
2 ουτοσ ην εν αρχη προσ τον θεον
This Word was from the first in relation with God.
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρισ αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φωσ των ανθρωπων
What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 και το φωσ εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
6 εγενετο ανθρωποσ απεσταλμενοσ παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννησ
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 ουτοσ ηλθεν εισ μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτοσ ινα παντεσ πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου
He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
8 ουκ ην εκεινοσ το φωσ αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτοσ
He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
9 ην το φωσ το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εισ τον κοσμον
The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
10 εν τω κοσμω ην και ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου εγενετο και ο κοσμοσ αυτον ουκ εγνω
He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
11 εισ τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοισ εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοισ πιστευουσιν εισ το ονομα αυτου
To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God — that is, to those who had faith in his name:
13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματοσ σαρκοσ ουδε εκ θεληματοσ ανδροσ αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν
Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
14 και ο λογοσ σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ωσ μονογενουσ παρα πατροσ πληρησ χαριτοσ και αληθειασ
And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory — such glory as is given to an only son by his father — saw it to be true and full of grace.
15 ιωαννησ μαρτυρει περι αυτου και κεκραγεν λεγων ουτοσ ην ον ειπον ο οπισω μου ερχομενοσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτοσ μου ην
John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.
16 και εκ του πληρωματοσ αυτου ημεισ παντεσ ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτοσ
From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
17 οτι ο νομοσ δια μωσεωσ εδοθη η χαρισ και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
18 θεον ουδεισ εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενησ υιοσ ο ων εισ τον κολπον του πατροσ εκεινοσ εξηγησατο
No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
19 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του ιωαννου οτε απεστειλαν οι ιουδαιοι εξ ιεροσολυμων ιερεισ και λευιτασ ινα ερωτησωσιν αυτον συ τισ ει
And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?
20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ
He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
21 και ηρωτησαν αυτον τι ουν ηλιασ ει συ και λεγει ουκ ειμι ο προφητησ ει συ και απεκριθη ου
And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τισ ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοισ πεμψασιν ημασ τι λεγεισ περι σεαυτου
So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?
23 εφη εγω φωνη βοωντοσ εν τη ερημω ευθυνατε την οδον κυριου καθωσ ειπεν ησαιασ ο προφητησ
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεισ ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστοσ ουτε ηλιασ ουτε ο προφητησ
And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?
26 απεκριθη αυτοισ ο ιωαννησ λεγων εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι μεσοσ δε υμων εστηκεν ον υμεισ ουκ οιδατε
John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
27 αυτοσ εστιν ο οπισω μου ερχομενοσ οσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν ου εγω ουκ ειμι αξιοσ ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματοσ
It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
28 ταυτα εν βηθανια εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννησ βαπτιζων
These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει τον ιησουν ερχομενον προσ αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 ουτοσ εστιν περι ου εγω ειπον οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ οσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτοσ μου ην
This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.
31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν τω υδατι βαπτιζων
I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννησ λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
33 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ο πεμψασ με βαπτιζειν εν υδατι εκεινοσ μοι ειπεν εφ ον αν ιδησ το πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ αυτον ουτοσ εστιν ο βαπτιζων εν πνευματι αγιω
I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννησ και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
36 και εμβλεψασ τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου
And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντοσ και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
38 στραφεισ δε ο ιησουσ και θεασαμενοσ αυτουσ ακολουθουντασ λεγει αυτοισ τι ζητειτε οι δε ειπον αυτω ραββι ο λεγεται ερμηνευομενον διδασκαλε που μενεισ
And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?
39 λεγει αυτοισ ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα ην ωσ δεκατη
He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.
40 ην ανδρεασ ο αδελφοσ σιμωνοσ πετρου εισ εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
41 ευρισκει ουτοσ πρωτοσ τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον χριστοσ
Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).
42 και ηγαγεν αυτον προσ τον ιησουν εμβλεψασ αυτω ο ιησουσ ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιοσ ιωνα συ κληθηση κηφασ ο ερμηνευεται πετροσ
And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν εξελθειν εισ την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ακολουθει μοι
The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
44 ην δε ο φιλιπποσ απο βηθσαιδα εκ τησ πολεωσ ανδρεου και πετρου
Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
45 ευρισκει φιλιπποσ τον ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ον εγραψεν μωσησ εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν ιησουν τον υιον του ιωσηφ τον απο ναζαρετ
Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ ναζαρετ δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω φιλιπποσ ερχου και ιδε
Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
47 ειδεν ο ιησουσ τον ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προσ αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου ιδε αληθωσ ισραηλιτησ εν ω δολοσ ουκ εστιν
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεισ απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε
Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
49 απεκριθη ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ραββι συ ει ο υιοσ του θεου συ ει ο βασιλευσ του ισραηλ
Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
50 απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι ειδον σε υποκατω τησ συκησ πιστευεισ μειζω τουτων οψει
In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
51 και λεγει αυτω αμην αμην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον ουρανον ανεωγοτα και τουσ αγγελουσ του θεου αναβαινοντασ και καταβαινοντασ επι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
