Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now 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
2He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is 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 him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
3απεκριθη ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
4Nicodemus said 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?”
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, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
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. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6το γεγεννημενον εκ τησ σαρκοσ σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματοσ πνευμα εστιν
7Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
7μη θαυμασησ οτι ειπον σοι δει υμασ γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
8The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who 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 him, “How can these things be?”
9απεκριθη νικοδημοσ και ειπεν αυτω πωσ δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
10Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
10απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλοσ του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεισ
11Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
11αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
12If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
12ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πωσ εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of 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
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even 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 whoever believes in him should not perish, but 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 only born Son, that whoever believes in him should 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 didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
17ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου εισ τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου
18He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born 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
19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the 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 everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
20πασ γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φωσ και ουκ ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been 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 came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
22μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησουσ και οι μαθηται αυτου εισ την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
23John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. 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 thrown into prison.
24ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενοσ εισ την φυλακην ο ιωαννησ
25Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
25εγενετο ουν ζητησισ εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
26They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming 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, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
27απεκριθη ιωαννησ και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωποσ λαμβανειν ουδεν εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
28You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
28αυτοι υμεισ μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ αλλ οτι απεσταλμενοσ ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
29He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
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
31“He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He 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
32What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32και ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεισ λαμβανει
33He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεοσ αληθησ εστιν
34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
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 given all things into his hand.
35ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
36One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but 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
