Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1ην δε ανθρωποσ εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημοσ ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
2This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be 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 answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3απεκριθη ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
4Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?
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: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
5απεκριθη ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη εξ υδατοσ και πνευματοσ ου δυναται εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6το γεγεννημενον εκ τησ σαρκοσ σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματοσ πνευμα εστιν
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7μη θαυμασησ οτι ειπον σοι δει υμασ γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
8The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is 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
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9απεκριθη νικοδημοσ και ειπεν αυτω πωσ δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλοσ του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεισ
11Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
11αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πωσ εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13και ουδεισ αναβεβηκεν εισ τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ο ων εν τω ουρανω
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14και καθωσ μωσησ υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτωσ υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον
16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
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 sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου εισ τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου
18He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
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 judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works 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
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20πασ γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φωσ και ουκ ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησουσ και οι μαθηται αυτου εισ την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23ην δε και ιωαννησ βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυσ του σαλημ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενοσ εισ την φυλακην ο ιωαννησ
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25εγενετο ουν ζητησισ εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
26And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come 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 answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27απεκριθη ιωαννησ και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωποσ λαμβανειν ουδεν εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28αυτοι υμεισ μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ αλλ οτι απεσταλμενοσ ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
29He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
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, but I must decrease.
30εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
31He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh 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
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32και ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεισ λαμβανει
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεοσ αληθησ εστιν
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν ο θεοσ το πνευμα
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
36He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth 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
