Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
1μετα ταυτα απηλθεν ο ιησουσ περαν τησ θαλασσησ τησ γαλιλαιασ τησ τιβεριαδοσ
2A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
2και ηκολουθει αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ οτι εωρων αυτου τα σημεια α εποιει επι των ασθενουντων
3Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
3ανηλθεν δε εισ το οροσ ο ιησουσ και εκει εκαθητο μετα των μαθητων αυτου
4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
4ην δε εγγυσ το πασχα η εορτη των ιουδαιων
5Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”
5επαρασ ουν ο ιησουσ τουσ οφθαλμουσ και θεασαμενοσ οτι πολυσ οχλοσ ερχεται προσ αυτον λεγει προσ τον φιλιππον ποθεν αγορασομεν αρτουσ ινα φαγωσιν ουτοι
6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
6τουτο δε ελεγεν πειραζων αυτον αυτοσ γαρ ηδει τι εμελλεν ποιειν
7Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
7απεκριθη αυτω φιλιπποσ διακοσιων δηναριων αρτοι ουκ αρκουσιν αυτοισ ινα εκαστοσ αυτων βραχυ τι λαβη
8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
8λεγει αυτω εισ εκ των μαθητων αυτου ανδρεασ ο αδελφοσ σιμωνοσ πετρου
9“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
9εστιν παιδαριον εν ωδε ο εχει πεντε αρτουσ κριθινουσ και δυο οψαρια αλλα ταυτα τι εστιν εισ τοσουτουσ
10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
10ειπεν δε ο ιησουσ ποιησατε τουσ ανθρωπουσ αναπεσειν ην δε χορτοσ πολυσ εν τω τοπω ανεπεσον ουν οι ανδρεσ τον αριθμον ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι
11Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
11ελαβεν δε τουσ αρτουσ ο ιησουσ και ευχαριστησασ διεδωκεν τοισ μαθηταισ οι δε μαθηται τοισ ανακειμενοισ ομοιωσ και εκ των οψαριων οσον ηθελον
12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
12ωσ δε ενεπλησθησαν λεγει τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου συναγαγετε τα περισσευσαντα κλασματα ινα μη τι αποληται
13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
13συνηγαγον ουν και εγεμισαν δωδεκα κοφινουσ κλασματων εκ των πεντε αρτων των κριθινων α επερισσευσεν τοισ βεβρωκοσιν
14When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
14οι ουν ανθρωποι ιδοντεσ ο εποιησεν σημειον ο ιησουσ ελεγον οτι ουτοσ εστιν αληθωσ ο προφητησ ο ερχομενοσ εισ τον κοσμον
15Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
15ιησουσ ουν γνουσ οτι μελλουσιν ερχεσθαι και αρπαζειν αυτον ινα ποιησωσιν αυτον βασιλεα ανεχωρησεν εισ το οροσ αυτοσ μονοσ
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
16ωσ δε οψια εγενετο κατεβησαν οι μαθηται αυτου επι την θαλασσαν
17They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
17και εμβαντεσ εισ το πλοιον ηρχοντο περαν τησ θαλασσησ εισ καπερναουμ και σκοτια ηδη εγεγονει και ουκ εληλυθει προσ αυτουσ ο ιησουσ
18The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
18η τε θαλασσα ανεμου μεγαλου πνεοντοσ διηγειρετο
19When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
19εληλακοτεσ ουν ωσ σταδιουσ εικοσι πεντε η τριακοντα θεωρουσιν τον ιησουν περιπατουντα επι τησ θαλασσησ και εγγυσ του πλοιου γινομενον και εφοβηθησαν
20But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
20ο δε λεγει αυτοισ εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
21They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
21ηθελον ουν λαβειν αυτον εισ το πλοιον και ευθεωσ το πλοιον εγενετο επι τησ γησ εισ ην υπηγον
22On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
22τη επαυριον ο οχλοσ ο εστηκωσ περαν τησ θαλασσησ ιδων οτι πλοιαριον αλλο ουκ ην εκει ει μη εν εκεινο εισ ο ενεβησαν οι μαθηται αυτου και οτι ου συνεισηλθεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου ο ιησουσ εισ το πλοιαριον αλλα μονοι οι μαθηται αυτου απηλθον
23However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
23αλλα δε ηλθεν πλοιαρια εκ τιβεριαδοσ εγγυσ του τοπου οπου εφαγον τον αρτον ευχαριστησαντοσ του κυριου
24When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
24οτε ουν ειδεν ο οχλοσ οτι ιησουσ ουκ εστιν εκει ουδε οι μαθηται αυτου ενεβησαν αυτοι εισ τα πλοια και ηλθον εισ καπερναουμ ζητουντεσ τον ιησουν
25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
25και ευροντεσ αυτον περαν τησ θαλασσησ ειπον αυτω ραββι ποτε ωδε γεγονασ
26Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
26απεκριθη αυτοισ ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ζητειτε με ουχ οτι ειδετε σημεια αλλ οτι εφαγετε εκ των αρτων και εχορτασθητε
27Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
27εργαζεσθε μη την βρωσιν την απολλυμενην αλλα την βρωσιν την μενουσαν εισ ζωην αιωνιον ην ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου υμιν δωσει τουτον γαρ ο πατηρ εσφραγισεν ο θεοσ
28They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
28ειπον ουν προσ αυτον τι ποιωμεν ινα εργαζωμεθα τα εργα του θεου
29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
29απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτοισ τουτο εστιν το εργον του θεου ινα πιστευσητε εισ ον απεστειλεν εκεινοσ
30They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
30ειπον ουν αυτω τι ουν ποιεισ συ σημειον ινα ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν σοι τι εργαζη
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
31οι πατερεσ ημων το μαννα εφαγον εν τη ερημω καθωσ εστιν γεγραμμενον αρτον εκ του ουρανου εδωκεν αυτοισ φαγειν
32Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
32ειπεν ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ου μωσησ δεδωκεν υμιν τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου αλλ ο πατηρ μου διδωσιν υμιν τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου τον αληθινον
33For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
33ο γαρ αρτοσ του θεου εστιν ο καταβαινων εκ του ουρανου και ζωην διδουσ τω κοσμω
34They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
34ειπον ουν προσ αυτον κυριε παντοτε δοσ ημιν τον αρτον τουτον
35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
35ειπεν δε αυτοισ ο ιησουσ εγω ειμι ο αρτοσ τησ ζωησ ο ερχομενοσ προσ με ου μη πειναση και ο πιστευων εισ εμε ου μη διψηση πωποτε
36But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
36αλλ ειπον υμιν οτι και εωρακατε με και ου πιστευετε
37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
37παν ο διδωσιν μοι ο πατηρ προσ εμε ηξει και τον ερχομενον προσ με ου μη εκβαλω εξω
38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
38οτι καταβεβηκα εκ του ουρανου ουχ ινα ποιω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντοσ με
39This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
39τουτο δε εστιν το θελημα του πεμψαντοσ με πατροσ ινα παν ο δεδωκεν μοι μη απολεσω εξ αυτου αλλα αναστησω αυτο τη εσχατη ημερα
40This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
40τουτο δε εστιν το θελημα του πεμψαντοσ με ινα πασ ο θεωρων τον υιον και πιστευων εισ αυτον εχη ζωην αιωνιον και αναστησω αυτον εγω τη εσχατη ημερα
41The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
41εγογγυζον ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ειπεν εγω ειμι ο αρτοσ ο καταβασ εκ του ουρανου
42They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”
42και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ιησουσ ο υιοσ ιωσηφ ου ημεισ οιδαμεν τον πατερα και την μητερα πωσ ουν λεγει ουτοσ οτι εκ του ουρανου καταβεβηκα
43Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
43απεκριθη ουν ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτοισ μη γογγυζετε μετ αλληλων
44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
44ουδεισ δυναται ελθειν προσ με εαν μη ο πατηρ ο πεμψασ με ελκυση αυτον και εγω αναστησω αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα
45It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.
45εστιν γεγραμμενον εν τοισ προφηταισ και εσονται παντεσ διδακτοι θεου πασ ουν ο ακουων παρα του πατροσ και μαθων ερχεται προσ με
46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
46ουχ οτι τον πατερα τισ εωρακεν ει μη ο ων παρα του θεου ουτοσ εωρακεν τον πατερα
47Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
47αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο πιστευων εισ εμε εχει ζωην αιωνιον
48I am the bread of life.
48εγω ειμι ο αρτοσ τησ ζωησ
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
49οι πατερεσ υμων εφαγον το μαννα εν τη ερημω και απεθανον
50This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
50ουτοσ εστιν ο αρτοσ ο εκ του ουρανου καταβαινων ινα τισ εξ αυτου φαγη και μη αποθανη
51I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
51εγω ειμι ο αρτοσ ο ζων ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ εαν τισ φαγη εκ τουτου του αρτου ζησεται εισ τον αιωνα και ο αρτοσ δε ον εγω δωσω η σαρξ μου εστιν ην εγω δωσω υπερ τησ του κοσμου ζωησ
52The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
52εμαχοντο ουν προσ αλληλουσ οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντεσ πωσ δυναται ουτοσ ημιν δουναι την σαρκα φαγειν
53Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.
53ειπεν ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη φαγητε την σαρκα του υιου του ανθρωπου και πιητε αυτου το αιμα ουκ εχετε ζωην εν εαυτοισ
54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
54ο τρωγων μου την σαρκα και πινων μου το αιμα εχει ζωην αιωνιον και εγω αναστησω αυτον τη εσχατη ημερα
55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
55η γαρ σαρξ μου αληθωσ εστιν βρωσισ και το αιμα μου αληθωσ εστιν ποσισ
56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
56ο τρωγων μου την σαρκα και πινων μου το αιμα εν εμοι μενει καγω εν αυτω
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.
57καθωσ απεστειλεν με ο ζων πατηρ καγω ζω δια τον πατερα και ο τρωγων με κακεινοσ ζησεται δι εμε
58This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
58ουτοσ εστιν ο αρτοσ ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ ου καθωσ εφαγον οι πατερεσ υμων το μαννα και απεθανον ο τρωγων τουτον τον αρτον ζησεται εισ τον αιωνα
59He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
59ταυτα ειπεν εν συναγωγη διδασκων εν καπερναουμ
60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
60πολλοι ουν ακουσαντεσ εκ των μαθητων αυτου ειπον σκληροσ εστιν ουτοσ ο λογοσ τισ δυναται αυτου ακουειν
61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
61ειδωσ δε ο ιησουσ εν εαυτω οτι γογγυζουσιν περι τουτου οι μαθηται αυτου ειπεν αυτοισ τουτο υμασ σκανδαλιζει
62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
62εαν ουν θεωρητε τον υιον του ανθρωπου αναβαινοντα οπου ην το προτερον
63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
63το πνευμα εστιν το ζωοποιουν η σαρξ ουκ ωφελει ουδεν τα ρηματα α εγω λαλω υμιν πνευμα εστιν και ζωη εστιν
64But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.
64αλλ εισιν εξ υμων τινεσ οι ου πιστευουσιν ηδει γαρ εξ αρχησ ο ιησουσ τινεσ εισιν οι μη πιστευοντεσ και τισ εστιν ο παραδωσων αυτον
65He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
65και ελεγεν δια τουτο ειρηκα υμιν οτι ουδεισ δυναται ελθειν προσ με εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του πατροσ μου
66At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
66εκ τουτου πολλοι απηλθον των μαθητων αυτου εισ τα οπισω και ουκετι μετ αυτου περιεπατουν
67Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
67ειπεν ουν ο ιησουσ τοισ δωδεκα μη και υμεισ θελετε υπαγειν
68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
68απεκριθη ουν αυτω σιμων πετροσ κυριε προσ τινα απελευσομεθα ρηματα ζωησ αιωνιου εχεισ
69We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
69και ημεισ πεπιστευκαμεν και εγνωκαμεν οτι συ ει ο χριστοσ ο υιοσ του θεου του ζωντοσ
70Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
70απεκριθη αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ουκ εγω υμασ τουσ δωδεκα εξελεξαμην και εξ υμων εισ διαβολοσ εστιν
71Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
71ελεγεν δε τον ιουδαν σιμωνοσ ισκαριωτην ουτοσ γαρ εμελλεν αυτον παραδιδοναι εισ ων εκ των δωδεκα
