Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1και περιεπατει ο ιησουσ μετα ταυτα εν τη γαλιλαια ου γαρ ηθελεν εν τη ιουδαια περιπατειν οτι εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2ην δε εγγυσ η εορτη των ιουδαιων η σκηνοπηγια
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3ειπον ουν προσ αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εισ την ιουδαιαν ινα και οι μαθηται σου θεωρησωσιν τα εργα σου α ποιεισ
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4ουδεισ γαρ εν κρυπτω τι ποιει και ζητει αυτοσ εν παρρησια ειναι ει ταυτα ποιεισ φανερωσον σεαυτον τω κοσμω
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5ουδε γαρ οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εισ αυτον
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6λεγει ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ο καιροσ ο εμοσ ουπω παρεστιν ο δε καιροσ ο υμετεροσ παντοτε εστιν ετοιμοσ
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7ου δυναται ο κοσμοσ μισειν υμασ εμε δε μισει οτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα εστιν
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8υμεισ αναβητε εισ την εορτην ταυτην εγω ουπω αναβαινω εισ την εορτην ταυτην οτι ο καιροσ ο εμοσ ουπω πεπληρωται
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9ταυτα δε ειπων αυτοισ εμεινεν εν τη γαλιλαια
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10ωσ δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου τοτε και αυτοσ ανεβη εισ την εορτην ου φανερωσ αλλ ωσ εν κρυπτω
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11οι ουν ιουδαιοι εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον που εστιν εκεινοσ
12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
12και γογγυσμοσ πολυσ περι αυτου ην εν τοισ οχλοισ οι μεν ελεγον οτι αγαθοσ εστιν αλλοι ελεγον ου αλλα πλανα τον οχλον
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13ουδεισ μεντοι παρρησια ελαλει περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14ηδη δε τησ εορτησ μεσουσησ ανεβη ο ιησουσ εισ το ιερον και εδιδασκεν
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15και εθαυμαζον οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντεσ πωσ ουτοσ γραμματα οιδεν μη μεμαθηκωσ
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16απεκριθη ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ και ειπεν η εμη διδαχη ουκ εστιν εμη αλλα του πεμψαντοσ με
17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
17εαν τισ θελη το θελημα αυτου ποιειν γνωσεται περι τησ διδαχησ ποτερον εκ του θεου εστιν η εγω απ εμαυτου λαλω
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
18ο αφ εαυτου λαλων την δοξαν την ιδιαν ζητει ο δε ζητων την δοξαν του πεμψαντοσ αυτον ουτοσ αληθησ εστιν και αδικια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19ου μωσησ δεδωκεν υμιν τον νομον και ουδεισ εξ υμων ποιει τον νομον τι με ζητειτε αποκτειναι
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20απεκριθη ο οχλοσ και ειπεν δαιμονιον εχεισ τισ σε ζητει αποκτειναι
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτοισ εν εργον εποιησα και παντεσ θαυμαζετε
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22δια τουτο μωσησ δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεωσ εστιν αλλ εκ των πατερων και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον
23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
23ει περιτομην λαμβανει ανθρωποσ εν σαββατω ινα μη λυθη ο νομοσ μωσεωσ εμοι χολατε οτι ολον ανθρωπον υγιη εποιησα εν σαββατω
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24μη κρινετε κατ οψιν αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25ελεγον ουν τινεσ εκ των ιεροσολυμιτων ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ον ζητουσιν αποκτειναι
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26και ιδε παρρησια λαλει και ουδεν αυτω λεγουσιν μηποτε αληθωσ εγνωσαν οι αρχοντεσ οτι ουτοσ εστιν αληθωσ ο χριστοσ
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27αλλα τουτον οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν ο δε χριστοσ οταν ερχηται ουδεισ γινωσκει ποθεν εστιν
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
28εκραξεν ουν εν τω ιερω διδασκων ο ιησουσ και λεγων καμε οιδατε και οιδατε ποθεν ειμι και απ εμαυτου ουκ εληλυθα αλλ εστιν αληθινοσ ο πεμψασ με ον υμεισ ουκ οιδατε
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29εγω οιδα αυτον οτι παρ αυτου ειμι κακεινοσ με απεστειλεν
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30εζητουν ουν αυτον πιασαι και ουδεισ επεβαλεν επ αυτον την χειρα οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
31But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
31πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εισ αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο χριστοσ οταν ελθη μητι πλειονα σημεια τουτων ποιησει ων ουτοσ εποιησεν
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32ηκουσαν οι φαρισαιοι του οχλου γογγυζοντοσ περι αυτου ταυτα και απεστειλαν υπηρετασ οι φαρισαιοι και οι αρχιερεισ ινα πιασωσιν αυτον
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33ειπεν ουν ο ιησουσ ετι μικρον χρονον μεθ υμων ειμι και υπαγω προσ τον πεμψαντα με
34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεισ ου δυνασθε ελθειν
35The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προσ εαυτουσ που ουτοσ μελλει πορευεσθαι οτι ημεισ ουχ ευρησομεν αυτον μη εισ την διασποραν των ελληνων μελλει πορευεσθαι και διδασκειν τουσ ελληνασ
36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’ ?”
36τισ εστιν ουτοσ ο λογοσ ον ειπεν ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεισ ου δυνασθε ελθειν
37Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
37εν δε τη εσχατη ημερα τη μεγαλη τησ εορτησ ειστηκει ο ιησουσ και εκραξεν λεγων εαν τισ διψα ερχεσθω προσ με και πινετω
38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38ο πιστευων εισ εμε καθωσ ειπεν η γραφη ποταμοι εκ τησ κοιλιασ αυτου ρευσουσιν υδατοσ ζωντοσ
39But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
39τουτο δε ειπεν περι του πνευματοσ ου εμελλον λαμβανειν οι πιστευοντεσ εισ αυτον ουπω γαρ ην πνευμα αγιον οτι ιησουσ ουδεπω εδοξασθη
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40πολλοι ουν εκ του οχλου ακουσαντεσ τον λογον ελεγον ουτοσ εστιν αληθωσ ο προφητησ
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41αλλοι ελεγον ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ αλλοι ελεγον μη γαρ εκ τησ γαλιλαιασ ο χριστοσ ερχεται
42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42ουχι η γραφη ειπεν οτι εκ του σπερματοσ δαυιδ και απο βηθλεεμ τησ κωμησ οπου ην δαυιδ ο χριστοσ ερχεται
43So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43σχισμα ουν εν τω οχλω εγενετο δι αυτον
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44τινεσ δε ηθελον εξ αυτων πιασαι αυτον αλλ ουδεισ επεβαλεν επ αυτον τασ χειρασ
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45ηλθον ουν οι υπηρεται προσ τουσ αρχιερεισ και φαρισαιουσ και ειπον αυτοισ εκεινοι δια τι ουκ ηγαγετε αυτον
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται ουδεποτε ουτωσ ελαλησεν ανθρωποσ ωσ ουτοσ ο ανθρωποσ
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47απεκριθησαν ουν αυτοισ οι φαρισαιοι μη και υμεισ πεπλανησθε
48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48μη τισ εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εισ αυτον η εκ των φαρισαιων
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49αλλ ο οχλοσ ουτοσ ο μη γινωσκων τον νομον επικαταρατοι εισιν
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50λεγει νικοδημοσ προσ αυτουσ ο ελθων νυκτοσ προσ αυτον εισ ων εξ αυτων
51“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51μη ο νομοσ ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον εαν μη ακουση παρ αυτου προτερον και γνω τι ποιει
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω μη και συ εκ τησ γαλιλαιασ ει ερευνησον και ιδε οτι προφητησ εκ τησ γαλιλαιασ ουκ εγηγερται
53Everyone went to his own house,
53και επορευθη εκαστοσ εισ τον οικον αυτου
