John 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.	1 Και περιεπατει ο Ιησους μετα ταυτα εν τη Γαλιλαια? διοτι δεν ηθελε να περιπατη εν τη Ιουδαια, επειδη οι Ιουδαιοι εζητουν να θανατωσωσιν αυτον.
2 Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.	2 Επλησιαζε δε η εορτη των Ιουδαιων, η σκηνοπηγια.
3 And his brothers said to him: “Move away from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples there may also see your works that you do.	3 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου? Μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εις την Ιουδαιαν, δια να ιδωσι και οι μαθηται σου τα εργα σου, τα οποια καμνεις?
4 Of course, no one does anything in secret, but he himself seeks to be in the public view. Since you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.”	4 διοτι ουδεις πραττει τι κρυφιως και ζητει αυτος να ηναι φανερος. Εαν πραττης ταυτα, φανερωσον σεαυτον εις τον κοσμον.
5 For neither did his brothers believe in him.	5 Διοτι ουδε οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον.
6 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “My time has not yet come; but your time is always at hand.	6 Λεγει λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ο καιρος ο ιδικος μου δεν ηλθεν ετι, ο δε καιρος ο ιδικος σας ειναι παντοτε ετοιμος.
7 The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I offer testimony about it, that its works are evil.	7 Δεν δυναται ο κοσμος να μιση εσας? εμε ομως μισει, διοτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου ειναι πονηρα.
8 You may go up to this feast day. But I am not going up to this feast day, because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”	8 Σεις αναβητε εις την εορτην ταυτην? εγω δεν αναβαινω ετι εις την εορτην ταυτην, διοτι ο καιρος μου δεν επληρωθη ετι.
9 When he had said these things, he himself remained in Galilee.	9 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα προς αυτους, εμεινεν εν τη Γαλιλαια.
10 But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.	10 Αφου δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου, τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην, ουχι φανερως αλλα κρυφιως πως.
11 Therefore, the Jews were seeking him on the feast day, and they were saying, “Where is he?”	11 Οι Ιουδαιοι λοιπον εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον? Που ειναι εκεινος;
12 And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning him. For certain ones were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, for he seduces the crowds.”	12 Και ητο πολυς γογγυσμος περι αυτου μεταξυ των οχλων. Αλλοι μεν ελεγον οτι ειναι καλος? αλλοι δε ελεγον, Ουχι, αλλα πλανα τον οχλον.
13 Yet no one was speaking openly about him, out of fear of the Jews.	13 Ουδεις ομως ελαλει παρρησια περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των Ιουδαιων.
14 Then, about the middle of the feast, Jesus ascended into the temple, and he was teaching.	14 Και ενω η εορτη ητο ηδη περι τα μεσα, ανεβη ο Ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκε.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: “How does this one know letters, though he has not been taught?”	15 Και εθαυμαζον οι Ιουδαιοι, λεγοντες? Πως ουτος εξευρει γραμματα, ενω δεν εμαθεν;
16 Jesus responded to them and said: “My doctrine is not of me, but of him who sent me.	16 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιησους και ειπεν? Η ιδικη μου διδαχη δεν ειναι εμου, αλλα του πεμψαντος με.
17 If anyone has chosen to do his will, then he will realize, about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking from myself.	17 Εαν τις θελη να καμη το θελημα αυτου, θελει γνωρισει περι της διδαχης, αν ηναι εκ του Θεου η αν εγω λαλω απ' εμαυτου.
18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and injustice is not in him.	18 Οστις λαλει αφ' εαυτου, ζητει την δοξαν την ιδικην αυτου, οστις ομως ζητει την δοξαν του πεμψαντος αυτον, ουτος ειναι αληθης, και αδικια εν αυτω δεν υπαρχει.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one among you keeps the law!	19 Ο Μωυσης δεν σας εδωκε τον νομον; και ουδεις απο σας εκπληροι τον νομον. Δια τι ζητειτε να μη θανατωσητε;
20 Why are you seeking to kill me?” The crowd responded and said: “You must have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?”	20 Απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπε? Δαιμονιον εχεις? τις ζητει να σε θανατωση;
21 Jesus responded and said to them: “One work have I done, and you all wonder.	21 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Εν εργον εκαμον, και παντες θαυμαζετε.
22 For Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.	22 Δια τουτο ο Μωυσης σας εδωκε την περιτομην, ουχι οτι ειναι εκ του Μωυσεως, αλλ' εκ των πατερων, και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον.
23 If a man can receive circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you indignant toward me, because I have made a man whole on the Sabbath?	23 Εαν λαμβανη ανθρωπος περιτομην εν σαββατω, δια να μη λυθη ο νομος του Μωυσεως, οργιζεσθε κατ' εμου διοτι εκαμον ολοκληρον ανθρωπον υγιη εν σαββατω;
24 Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment.”	24 Μη κρινετε κατ' οψιν, αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε.
25 Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: “Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?	25 Ελεγον λοιπον τινες εκ των Ιεροσολυμιτων? Δεν ειναι ουτος, τον οποιον ζητουσι να θανατωσωσι;
26 And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?	26 Και ιδου, παρρησια λαλει, και δεν λεγουσι προς αυτον ουδεν. Μηπως τωοντι εγνωρισαν οι αρχοντες οτι ουτος ειναι αληθως ο Χριστος;
27 But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.”	27 Αλλα τουτον εξευρομεν ποθεν ειναι? ο δε Χριστος οταν ερχεται, ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν ειναι.
28 Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.	28 Εφωναξε λοιπον ο Ιησους, διδασκων εν τω ιερω, και ειπε? Και εμε εξευρετε και ποθεν ειμαι εξευρετε? και απ' εμαυτου δεν ηλθον, αλλ' ειναι αληθινος ο πεμψας με, τον οποιον σεις δεν εξευρετε?
29 I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.”	29 εγω ομως εξευρω αυτον, διοτι παρ' αυτου ειμαι και εκεινος με απεστειλεν.
30 Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.	30 Εζητουν λοιπον να πιασωσιν αυτον, και ουδεις επεβαλεν επ' αυτον την χειρα, διοτι δεν ειχεν ελθει ετι η ωρα αυτου.
31 But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, “When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?”	31 Πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εις αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο Χριστος οταν ελθη, μηπως θελει καμει θαυματα πλειοτερα τουτων, τα οποια ουτος εκαμεν;
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.	32 Ηκουσαν οι Φαρισαιοι τον οχλον οτι εγογγυζε ταυτα περι αυτου, και απεστειλαν οι Φαρισαιοι και οι αρχιερεις υπηρετας δια να πιασωσιν αυτον.
33 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.	33 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ετι ολιγον καιρον ειμαι μεθ' υμων, και υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με.
34 You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go.”	34 Θελετε με ζητησει και δεν θελετε με ευρει? και οπου ειμαι εγω, σεις δεν δυνασθε να ελθητε.
35 And so the Jews said among themselves: “Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?	35 Ειπον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι προς αλληλους? Που μελλει ουτος να υπαγη, ωστε ημεις δεν θελομεν ευρει αυτον; Μηπως μελλει να υπαγη εις τους διεσπαρμενους μεταξυ των Ελληνων και να διδασκη τους Ελληνας;
36 What is this word that he spoke, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am, you are not able to go?’ ”	36 Τις ειναι ουτος ο λογος τον οποιον ειπε, Θελετε με ζητησει και δεν θελετε με ευρει, και ειπον ειμαι εγω, σεις δεν δυνασθε να ελθητε;
37 Then, on the last great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and crying out, saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink:	37 Κατα δε την τελευταιαν ημεραν την μεγαλην της εορτης ιστατο ο Ιησους και εκραξε λεγων? Εαν τις διψα, ας ερχηται προς εμε και ας πινη.
38 whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”	38 Οστις πιστευει εις εμε, καθως ειπεν η γραφη, ποταμοι υδατος ζωντος θελουσι ρευσει εκ της κοιλιας αυτου.
39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.	39 Τουτο δε ειπε περι του Πνευματος, το οποιον εμελλον να λαμβανωσιν οι πιστευοντες εις αυτον? διοτι δεν ητο ετι δεδομενον Πνευμα Αγιον, επειδη ο Ιησους ετι δεν εδοξασθη.
40 Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, “This one truly is the Prophet.”	40 Πολλοι λοιπον εκ του οχλου ακουσαντες τον λογον, ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι αληθως ο προφητης.
41 Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?	41 Αλλοι ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος. Αλλοι δε ελεγον? Μη γαρ εκ της Γαλιλαιας ερχεται ο Χριστος;
42 Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”	42 Δεν ειπεν η γραφη οτι εκ του σπερματος του Δαβιδ και απο της κωμης Βηθλεεμ, οπου ητο ο Δαβιδ, ερχεται ο Χριστος;
43 And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.	43 Σχισμα λοιπον εγεινε μεταξυ του οχλου δι' αυτον.
44 Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehended him, but no one laid hands upon him.	44 Τινες δε εξ αυτων ηθελον να πιασωσιν αυτον, αλλ' ουδεις επεβαλεν επ' αυτον τας χειρας.
45 Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”	45 Ηλθον λοιπον οι υπηρεται προς τους αρχιερεις και Φαρισαιους, και εκεινοι ειπον προς αυτους? Δια τι δεν εφερετε αυτον;
46 The attendants responded, “Never has a man spoken like this man.”	46 Απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται? Ουδεποτε ελαλησεν ανθρωπος ουτω, καθως ουτος ο ανθρωπος.
47 And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?	47 Απεκριθησαν λοιπον προς αυτους οι Φαρισαιοι? Μηπως και σεις επλανηθητε;
48 Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?	48 Μηπως τις εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εις αυτον η εκ των Φαρισαιων;
49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”	49 Αλλ' ο οχλος ουτος, οστις δεν γνωριζει τον νομον, ειναι επικαταρατοι.
50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,	50 Λεγει ο Νικοδημος προς αυτους, ο ελθων προς αυτον δια νυκτος, εις ων εξ αυτων.
51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”	51 Μηπως ο νομος ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον, εαν δεν ακουση παρ' αυτου προτερον και μαθη τι πραττει;
52 They responded and said to him: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”	52 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Μηπως και συ εκ της Γαλιλαιας εισαι; ερευνησον και ιδε οτι προφητης εκ της Γαλιλαιας δεν ηγερθη.
53 And each one returned to his own house.	53 Και υπηγεν εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου.
