John 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
1Erat autem homo ex pharisæis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judæorum.
2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
2Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest hæc signa facere, quæ tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.
3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
4Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suæ iterato introire et renasci?
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
5Respondit Jesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.
7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
7Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.
8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
8Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu.
9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
9Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt hæc fieri?
10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israël, et hæc ignoras?
11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
11amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.
12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
12Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis cælestia, credetis?
13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
13Et nemo ascendit in cælum, nisi qui descendit de cælo, Filius hominis, qui est in cælo.
14¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:
15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.
16¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
16Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
17Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.
18¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
18Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
19Hoc est autem judicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
20Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus:
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
21qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.
22¶ After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
22Post hæc venit Jesus et discipuli ejus in terram Judæam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.
23¶ And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
23Erat autem et Joannes baptizans, in Ænnon, juxta Salim: quia aquæ multæ erant illic, et veniebant et baptizabantur.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24Nondum enim missus fuerat Joannes in carcerem.
25¶ Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
25Facta est autem quæstio ex discipulis Joannis cum Judæis de purificatione.
26And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
26Et venerunt ad Joannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Jordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.
27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
27Respondit Joannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de cælo.
28Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.
29He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
29Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est: amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.
31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
31Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de cælo venit, super omnes est.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
32Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium ejus nemo accipit.
33He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
33Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.
34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him .
34Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
35Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus.
36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
36Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam; qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum.
