Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
1ην δε ανθρωποσ εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημοσ ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”
2ουτοσ ηλθεν προσ αυτον νυκτοσ και ειπεν αυτω ραββι οιδαμεν οτι απο θεου εληλυθασ διδασκαλοσ ουδεισ γαρ ταυτα τα σημεια δυναται ποιειν α συ ποιεισ εαν μη η ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
3Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
3απεκριθη ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”
4λεγει προσ αυτον ο νικοδημοσ πωσ δυναται ανθρωποσ γεννηθηναι γερων ων μη δυναται εισ την κοιλιαν τησ μητροσ αυτου δευτερον εισελθειν και γεννηθηναι
5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
5απεκριθη ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη εξ υδατοσ και πνευματοσ ου δυναται εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
6Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
6το γεγεννημενον εκ τησ σαρκοσ σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματοσ πνευμα εστιν
7Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
7μη θαυμασησ οτι ειπον σοι δει υμασ γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
8το 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“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
9απεκριθη νικοδημοσ και ειπεν αυτω πωσ δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
10“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
10απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλοσ του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεισ
11Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.
11αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
12If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
12ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πωσ εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
13No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
13και ουδεισ αναβεβηκεν εισ τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ο ων εν τω ουρανω
14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
14και καθωσ μωσησ υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτωσ υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
15that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
15ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον
16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
16ουτωσ γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεοσ τον κοσμον ωστε τον υιον αυτου τον μονογενη εδωκεν ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον
17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
17ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου εισ τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου
18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
18ο πιστευων εισ αυτον ου κρινεται ο δε μη πιστευων ηδη κεκριται οτι μη πεπιστευκεν εισ το ονομα του μονογενουσ υιου του θεου
19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.
19αυτη δε εστιν η κρισισ οτι το φωσ εληλυθεν εισ τον κοσμον και ηγαπησαν οι ανθρωποι μαλλον το σκοτοσ η το φωσ ην γαρ πονηρα αυτων τα εργα
20Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
20πασ γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φωσ και ουκ ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
21But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
21ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
22After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
22μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησουσ και οι μαθηται αυτου εισ την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
23Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
23ην δε και ιωαννησ βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυσ του σαλημ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
24(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
24ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενοσ εισ την φυλακην ο ιωαννησ
25Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
25εγενετο ουν ζητησισ εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
26So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
26και ηλθον προσ τον ιωαννην και ειπον αυτω ραββι οσ ην μετα σου περαν του ιορδανου ω συ μεμαρτυρηκασ ιδε ουτοσ βαπτιζει και παντεσ ερχονται προσ αυτον
27John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
27απεκριθη ιωαννησ και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωποσ λαμβανειν ουδεν εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
28You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
28αυτοι υμεισ μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ αλλ οτι απεσταλμενοσ ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
29The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
29ο 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
30He must increase; I must decrease.
30εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.
31ο ανωθεν ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν ο ων εκ τησ γησ εκ τησ γησ εστιν και εκ τησ γησ λαλει ο εκ του ουρανου ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν
32He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
32και ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεισ λαμβανει
33Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
33ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεοσ αληθησ εστιν
34For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
34ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν ο θεοσ το πνευμα
35The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
35ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
36ο πιστευων εισ τον υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον ο δε απειθων τω υιω ουκ οψεται ζωην αλλ η οργη του θεου μενει επ αυτον
