Κατα Ιωαννην 7
1 και περιεπατει ο ιησους μετα ταυτα εν τη γαλιλαια ου γαρ ηθελεν εν τη ιουδαια περιπατειν οτι εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι
After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 ην δε εγγυς η εορτη των ιουδαιων η σκηνοπηγια
Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
3 ειπον ουν προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εις την ιουδαιαν ινα και οι μαθηται σου θεωρησωσιν τα εργα σου α ποιεις
His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
4 ουδεις γαρ εν κρυπτω τι ποιει και ζητει αυτος εν παρρησια ειναι ει ταυτα ποιεις φανερωσον σεαυτον τω κοσμω
For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
5 ουδε γαρ οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον
For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6 λεγει ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω παρεστιν ο δε καιρος ο υμετερος παντοτε εστιν ετοιμος
Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 ου δυναται ο κοσμος μισειν υμας εμε δε μισει οτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα εστιν
The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 υμεις αναβητε εις την εορτην ταυτην εγω ουπω αναβαινω εις την εορτην ταυτην οτι ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω πεπληρωται
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9 ταυτα δε ειπων αυτοις εμεινεν εν τη γαλιλαια
Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
10 ως δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην ου φανερως αλλ ως εν κρυπτω
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 οι ουν ιουδαιοι εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον που εστιν εκεινος
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12 και γογγυσμος πολυς περι αυτου ην εν τοις οχλοις οι μεν ελεγον οτι αγαθος εστιν αλλοι δε ελεγον ου αλλα πλανα τον οχλον
There was much murmuring amongst the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13 ουδεις μεντοι παρρησια ελαλει περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 ηδη δε της εορτης μεσουσης ανεβη ο ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκεν
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 και εθαυμαζον οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες πως ουτος γραμματα οιδεν μη μεμαθηκως
The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους και ειπεν η εμη διδαχη ουκ εστιν εμη αλλα του πεμψαντος με
Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 εαν τις θελη το θελημα αυτου ποιειν γνωσεται περι της διδαχης ποτερον εκ του θεου εστιν η εγω απ εμαυτου λαλω
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
18 ο αφ εαυτου λαλων την δοξαν την ιδιαν ζητει ο δε ζητων την δοξαν του πεμψαντος αυτον ουτος αληθης εστιν και αδικια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 ου μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν τον νομον και ουδεις εξ υμων ποιει τον νομον τι με ζητειτε αποκτειναι
Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20 απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπεν δαιμονιον εχεις τις σε ζητει αποκτειναι
The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21 απεκριθη ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις εν εργον εποιησα και παντες θαυμαζετε
Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
22 δια τουτο μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεως εστιν αλλ εκ των πατερων και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
23 ει περιτομην λαμβανει ανθρωπος εν σαββατω ινα μη λυθη ο νομος μωσεως εμοι χολατε οτι ολον ανθρωπον υγιη εποιησα εν σαββατω
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 μη κρινετε κατ οψιν αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε
Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”
25 ελεγον ουν τινες εκ των ιεροσολυμιτων ουχ ουτος εστιν ον ζητουσιν αποκτειναι
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
26 και ιδε παρρησια λαλει και ουδεν αυτω λεγουσιν μηποτε αληθως εγνωσαν οι αρχοντες οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο χριστος
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
27 αλλα τουτον οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν ο δε χριστος οταν ερχηται ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν εστιν
However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 εκραξεν ουν εν τω ιερω διδασκων ο ιησους και λεγων καμε οιδατε και οιδατε ποθεν ειμι και απ εμαυτου ουκ εληλυθα αλλ εστιν αληθινος ο πεμψας με ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
29 εγω δε οιδα αυτον οτι παρ αυτου ειμι κακεινος με απεστειλεν
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 εζητουν ουν αυτον πιασαι και ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον την χειρα οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εις αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο χριστος οταν ελθη μητι πλειονα σημεια τουτων ποιησει ων ουτος εποιησεν
But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32 ηκουσαν οι φαρισαιοι του οχλου γογγυζοντος περι αυτου ταυτα και απεστειλαν οι φαρισαιοι και οι αρχιερεις υπηρετας ινα πιασωσιν αυτον
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ετι μικρον χρονον μεθ υμων ειμι και υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
35 ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προς εαυτους που ουτος μελλει πορευεσθαι οτι ημεις ουχ ευρησομεν αυτον μη εις την διασποραν των ελληνων μελλει πορευεσθαι και διδασκειν τους ελληνας
The Jews therefore said amongst themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion amongst the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 τις εστιν ουτος ο λογος ον ειπεν ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
37 εν δε τη εσχατη ημερα τη μεγαλη της εορτης ειστηκει ο ιησους και εκραξεν λεγων εαν τις διψα ερχεσθω προς με και πινετω
Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
38 ο πιστευων εις εμε καθως ειπεν η γραφη ποταμοι εκ της κοιλιας αυτου ρευσουσιν υδατος ζωντος
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
39 τουτο δε ειπεν περι του πνευματος ου εμελλον λαμβανειν οι πιστευοντες εις αυτον ουπω γαρ ην πνευμα αγιον οτι ο ιησους ουδεπω εδοξασθη
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
40 πολλοι ουν εκ του οχλου ακουσαντες τον λογον ελεγον ουτος εστιν αληθως ο προφητης
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
41 αλλοι ελεγον ουτος εστιν ο χριστος αλλοι δε ελεγον μη γαρ εκ της γαλιλαιας ο χριστος ερχεται
Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 ουχι η γραφη ειπεν οτι εκ του σπερματος δαβιδ και απο βηθλεεμ της κωμης οπου ην δαβιδ ο χριστος ερχεται
Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
43 σχισμα ουν εν τω οχλω εγενετο δι αυτον
So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
44 τινες δε ηθελον εξ αυτων πιασαι αυτον αλλ ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον τας χειρας
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 ηλθον ουν οι υπηρεται προς τους αρχιερεις και φαρισαιους και ειπον αυτοις εκεινοι διατι ουκ ηγαγετε αυτον
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται ουδεποτε ουτως ελαλησεν ανθρωπος ως ουτος ο ανθρωπος
The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 απεκριθησαν ουν αυτοις οι φαρισαιοι μη και υμεις πεπλανησθε
The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
48 μη τις εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εις αυτον η εκ των φαρισαιων
Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 αλλ ο οχλος ουτος ο μη γινωσκων τον νομον επικαταρατοι εισιν
But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
50 λεγει νικοδημος προς αυτους ο ελθων νυκτος προς αυτον εις ων εξ αυτων
Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 μη ο νομος ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον εαν μη ακουση παρ αυτου προτερον και γνω τι ποιει
“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω μη και συ εκ της γαλιλαιας ει ερευνησον και ιδε οτι προφητης εκ της γαλιλαιας ουκ εγηγερται
They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
53 και επορευθη εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου
Everyone went to his own house,
