John 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.	1 Εν αρχη ητο ο Λογος, και ο Λογος ητο παρα τω Θεω, και Θεος ητο ο Λογος.
2 He was in the beginning with God.	2 Ουτος ητο εν αρχη παρα τω Θεω.
3 All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be	3 Παντα δι' αυτου εγειναν, και χωρις αυτου δεν εγεινεν ουδε εν, το οποιον εγεινεν.
4 through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race;	4 Εν αυτω ητο ζωη, και η ζωη ητο το φως των ανθρωπων.
5 the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.	5 Και το φως εν τη σκοτια φεγγει και η σκοτια δεν κατελαβεν αυτο.
6 A man named John was sent from God.	6 Υπηρξεν ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα Θεου, ονομαζομενος Ιωαννης?
7 He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.	7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν, δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος, δια να πιστευσωσι παντες δι' αυτου.
8 He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.	8 Δεν ητο εκεινος το φως, αλλα δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.	9 Ητο το φως το αληθινον, το οποιον φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον.
10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him.	10 Ητο εν τω κοσμω, και ο κοσμος εγεινε δι' αυτου, και ο κοσμος δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον.
11 He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.	11 Εις τα ιδια ηλθε, και οι ιδιοι δεν εδεχθησαν αυτον.
12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,	12 Οσοι δε εδεχθησαν αυτον, εις αυτους εδωκεν εξουσιαν να γεινωσι τεκνα Θεου, εις τους πιστευοντας εις το ονομα αυτου?
13 who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man's decision but of God.	13 οιτινες ουχι εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος, αλλ' εκ Θεου εγεννηθησαν.
14 And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.	14 Και ο Λογος εγεινε σαρξ και κατωκησε μεταξυ ημων, και ειδομεν την δοξαν αυτου, δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα του Πατρος, πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας.
15 John testified to him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'"	15 Ο Ιωαννης μαρτυρει περι αυτου και εφωναξε, λεγων? Ουτος ητο περι ου ειπον, Ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ειναι ανωτερος μου, διοτι ητο προτερος μου.
16 From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace,	16 Και παντες ημεις ελαβομεν εκ του πληρωματος αυτου και χαριν αντι χαριτος?
17 because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.	17 διοτι και ο νομος εδοθη δια του Μωυσεως? η δε χαρις και αληθεια εγεινε δια Ιησου Χριστου.
18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.	18 Ουδεις ειδε ποτε τον Θεον? ο μονογενης Υιος, ο ων εις τον κολπον του Πατρος, εκεινος εφανερωσεν αυτον.
19 And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites (to him) to ask him, "Who are you?"	19 Και αυτη ειναι η μαρτυρια του Ιωαννου, οτε απεστειλαν οι Ιουδαιοι εξ Ιεροσολυμων ιερεις και Λευιτας δια να ερωτησωσιν αυτον? Συ τις εισαι;
20 he admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, "I am not the Messiah."	20 Και ωμολογησε και δεν ηρνηθη? και ωμολογησεν οτι δεν ειμαι εγω ο Χριστος.
21 So they asked him, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."	21 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον? Τι λοιπον; Ηλιας εισαι συ; και λεγει, δεν ειμαι. Ο προφητης εισαι συ; και απεκριθη, Ουχι.
22 So they said to him, "Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?"	22 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Τις εισαι; δια να δωσωμεν αποκρισιν εις τους αποστειλαντας ημας? τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου;
23 He said: "I am 'the voice of one crying out in the desert, "Make straight the way of the Lord,"' as Isaiah the prophet said."	23 Απεκριθη? Εγω ειμαι φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ευθυνατε την οδον του Κυριου, καθως ειπεν Ησαιας ο προφητης.
24 Some Pharisees were also sent.	24 Οι δε απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των Φαρισαιων?
25 They asked him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah or Elijah or the Prophet?"	25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι λοιπον βαπτιζεις, εαν συ δεν εισαι ο Χριστος ουτε ο Ηλιας ουτε ο προφητης;
26 John answered them, "I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,	26 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιωαννης λεγων? Εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι? εν μεσω δε υμων ισταται εκεινος, τον οποιον σεις δεν γνωριζετε?
27 the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie."	27 αυτος ειναι ο οπισω μου ερχομενος, οστις ειναι ανωτερος μου, του οποιου εγω δεν ειμαι αξιος να λυσω το λωριον του υποδηματος αυτου.
28 This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.	28 Ταυτα εγειναν εν Βηθαβαρα περαν του Ιορδανου, οπου ητο ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων.
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.	29 Τη επαυριον βλεπει ο Ιωαννης τον Ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου.
30 He is the one of whom I said, 'A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'	30 Ουτος ειναι περι ου εγω ειπον? Οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ, οστις ειναι ανωτερος μου, διοτι ητο προτερος μου.
31 I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel."	31 Και εγω δεν εγνωριζον αυτον, αλλα δια να φανερωθη εις τον Ισραηλ, δια τουτο ηλθον εγω βαπτιζων εν τω υδατι.
32 John testified further, saying, "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from the sky and remain upon him.	32 Και εμαρτυρησεν ο Ιωαννης, λεγων οτι Ειδον το Πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ' αυτον.
33 I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the holy Spirit.'	33 Και εγω δεν εγνωριζον αυτον? αλλ' ο πεμψας με δια να βαπτιζω εν υδατι εκεινος μοι ειπεν? εις οντινα ιδης το Πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ' αυτον, ουτος ειναι ο βαπτιζων εν Πνευματι Αγιω.
34 Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God."	34 Και εγω ειδον και εμαρτυρησα, οτι ουτος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples,	35 Τη επαυριον παλιν ιστατο ο Ιωαννης και δυο εκ των μαθητων αυτου,
36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God."	36 και εμβλεψας εις τον Ιησουν περιπατουντα, λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου.
37 The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.	37 Και ηκουσαν αυτον οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντα και ηκολουθησαν τον Ιησουν.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"	38 Στραφεις δε ο Ιησους και ιδων αυτους ακολουθουντας, λεγει προς αυτους? Τι ζητειτε; Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Ραββι, το οποιον ερμηνευομενον λεγεται, Διδασκαλε, που μενεις;
39 He said to them,"Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.	39 Λεγει προς αυτους? Ελθετε και ιδετε, ηλθον και ειδον που μενει, και εμειναν παρ' αυτω την ημεραν εκεινην? η δε ωρα ητο ως δεκατη.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.	40 Ητο Ανδρεας ο αδελφος του Σιμωνος Πετρου εις εκ των δυο, οιτινες ηκουσαν περι αυτου παρα του Ιωαννου και ηκολουθησαν αυτον.
41 He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed).	41 Ουτος πρωτος ευρισκει τον εαυτου αδελφον Σιμωνα και λεγει προς αυτον. Ευρηκαμεν τον Μεσσιαν, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι ο Χριστος.
42 Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Kephas" (which is translated Peter).	42 Και εφερεν αυτον προς τον Ιησουν. Εμβλεψας δε εις αυτον ο Ιησους ειπε? Συ εισαι Σιμων, ο υιος του Ιωνα? συ θελεις ονομασθη Κηφας, το οποιον ερμηνευεται Πετρος.
43 The next day he decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."	43 Τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο Ιησους να εξελθη εις την Γαλιλαιαν? και ευρισκει τον Φιλιππον και λεγει προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.	44 Ητο δε ο Φιλιππος απο Βηθσαιδα, εκ της πολεως Ανδρεου και Πετρου.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth."	45 Ευρισκει Φιλιππος τον Ναθαναηλ και λεγει προς αυτον? Εκεινον τον οποιον εγραψεν ο Μωυσης εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν, Ιησουν τον υιον του Ιωσηφ τον απο Ναζαρετ.
46 But Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."	46 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ναθαναηλ? Εκ Ναζαρετ δυναται να προελθη τι αγαθον; Λεγει προς αυτον ο Φιλιππος, Ερχου και ιδε.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him."	47 Ειδεν ο Ιησους τον Ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου? Ιδου, αληθως Ισραηλιτης, εις τον οποιον δολος δεν υπαρχει.
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree."	48 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ναθαναηλ? Ποθεν με γινωσκεις; Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Πριν ο Φιλιππος σε φωναξη, οντα υποκατω της συκης, ειδον σε.
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."	49 Απεκριθη ο Ναθαναηλ και λεγει προς αυτον? Ραββι, συ εισαι ο Υιος του Θεου, συ εισαι ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this."	50 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Επειδη σοι ειπον? ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης, πιστευεις; μεγαλητερα τουτων θελεις ιδει.
51 And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."	51 Και λεγει προς αυτον? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω? απο του νυν θελετε ιδει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και τους αγγελους του Θεου αναβαινοντας και καταβαινοντας επι τον Υιον του ανθρωπου.
