Κατα Ιωαννην 1
1 εν αρχη ην ο λογος και ο λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ο λογος
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 ουτος ην εν αρχη προς τον θεον
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φως των ανθρωπων
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 και το φως εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
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
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 ουκ ην εκεινος το φως αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 ην το φως το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes 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 that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 εις τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοις πιστευουσιν εις το ονομα αυτου
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 και ο λογος σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα πατρος πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 ιωαννης μαρτυρει περι αυτου και κεκραγεν λεγων ουτος ην ον ειπον ο οπισω μου ερχομενος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτος μου ην
John testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 και εκ του πληρωματος αυτου ημεις παντες ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτος
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 οτι ο νομος δια μωσεως εδοθη η χαρις και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 θεον ουδεις εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενης υιος ο ων εις τον κολπον του πατρος εκεινος εξηγησατο
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του ιωαννου οτε απεστειλαν οι ιουδαιοι εξ ιεροσολυμων ιερεις και λευιτας ινα ερωτησωσιν αυτον συ τις ει
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστος
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “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
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τις ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοις πεμψασιν ημας τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου
So they said to him: “Who are you?—so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you 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 calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεις ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστος ουτε ηλιας ουτε ο προφητης
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιωαννης λεγων εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι μεσος δε υμων εστηκεν ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 αυτος εστιν ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν ου εγω ουκ ειμι αξιος ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματος
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 ταυτα εν βηθαβαρα εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννης βαπτιζων
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει ο ιωαννης τον ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! 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, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν τω υδατι βαπτιζων
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννης λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon 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
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος του θεου
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννης και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 και εμβλεψας τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντος και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed 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
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
39 λεγει αυτοις ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα δε ην ως δεκατη
He says to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 ην ανδρεας ο αδελφος σιμωνος πετρου εις εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 ευρισκει ουτος πρωτος τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον ο χριστος
He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 και ηγαγεν αυτον προς τον ιησουν εμβλεψας δε αυτω ο ιησους ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιος ιωνα συ κληθηση κηφας ο ερμηνευεται πετρος
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο ιησους εξελθειν εις την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 ην δε ο φιλιππος απο βηθσαιδα εκ της πολεως ανδρεου και πετρου
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
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 {VAR1: ναζαρετ } {VAR2: ναζαρεθ }
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ {VAR1: ναζαρετ } {VAR2: ναζαρεθ } δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω φιλιππος ερχου και ιδε
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says 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 toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεις απεκριθη ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were 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
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης πιστευεις μειζω τουτων οψει
Jesus answered and said to him: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater 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 says to him, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
