John 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 After this, Jesus moved about within Galilee; but he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying 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 But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.	2 Επλησιαζε δε η εορτη των Ιουδαιων, η σκηνοπηγια.
3 So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.	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 No one works in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If 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 his brothers did not believe in him.	5 Διοτι ουδε οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον.
6 So Jesus said to them, "My time is not yet here, but the time is always right for you.	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 testify to 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 go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, 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 After he had said this, he stayed on in Galilee.	9 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα προς αυτους, εμεινεν εν τη Γαλιλαια.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but (as it were) in secret.	10 Αφου δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου, τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην, ουχι φανερως αλλα κρυφιως πως.
11 The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, "Where is he?"	11 Οι Ιουδαιοι λοιπον εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον? Που ειναι εκεινος;
12 And there was considerable murmuring about him in the crowds. Some said, "He is a good man," (while) others said, "No; on the contrary, he misleads the crowd."	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 Still, no one spoke openly about him because they were afraid of the Jews.	13 Ουδεις ομως ελαλει παρρησια περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των Ιουδαιων.
14 When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple area and began to teach.	14 Και ενω η εορτη ητο ηδη περι τα μεσα, ανεβη ο Ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκε.
15 The Jews were amazed and said, "How does he know scripture without having studied?"	15 Και εθαυμαζον οι Ιουδαιοι, λεγοντες? Πως ουτος εξευρει γραμματα, ενω δεν εμαθεν;
16 Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not my own but is from the one who sent me.	16 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιησους και ειπεν? Η ιδικη μου διδαχη δεν ειναι εμου, αλλα του πεμψαντος με.
17 Whoever chooses to do his will shall know whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.	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 on his own seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no wrong 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? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"	19 Ο Μωυσης δεν σας εδωκε τον νομον; και ουδεις απο σας εκπληροι τον νομον. Δια τι ζητειτε να μη θανατωσητε;
20 The crowd answered, "You are possessed! Who is trying to kill you?"	20 Απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπε? Δαιμονιον εχεις? τις ζητει να σε θανατωση;
21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I performed one work and all of you are amazed	21 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Εν εργον εκαμον, και παντες θαυμαζετε.
22 because of it. Moses gave you circumcision--not that it came from Moses but rather from the patriarchs--and you circumcise a man on the sabbath.	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 a sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole person well on a 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 Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly."	24 Μη κρινετε κατ' οψιν, αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε.
25 So some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, "Is he not the one they are trying to kill?	25 Ελεγον λοιπον τινες εκ των Ιεροσολυμιτων? Δεν ειναι ουτος, τον οποιον ζητουσι να θανατωσωσι;
26 And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Messiah?	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 where he is from. When the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."	27 Αλλα τουτον εξευρομεν ποθεν ειναι? ο δε Χριστος οταν ερχεται, ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν ειναι.
28 So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true.	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, because I am from him, and he sent me."	29 εγω ομως εξευρω αυτον, διοτι παρ' αυτου ειμαι και εκεινος με απεστειλεν.
30 So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon 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 of the crowd began to believe in him, and said, "When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man has done?"	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 about him to this effect, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent guards to arrest 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 So Jesus said, "I will be with you only a little while longer, and then I will go to the one who sent me.	33 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ετι ολιγον καιρον ειμαι μεθ' υμων, και υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με.
34 You will look for me but not find (me), and where I am you cannot come."	34 Θελετε με ζητησει και δεν θελετε με ευρει? και οπου ειμαι εγω, σεις δεν δυνασθε να ελθητε.
35 So the Jews said to one another, "Where is he going that we will not find him? Surely he is not going to the dispersion among the Greeks to teach the Greeks, is he?	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 the meaning of his saying, 'You will look for me and not find (me), and where I am you cannot come'?"	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 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and exclaimed, "Let anyone who thirsts 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, as scripture says: 'Rivers of living water will flow from within him.'"	38 Οστις πιστευει εις εμε, καθως ειπεν η γραφη, ποταμοι υδατος ζωντος θελουσι ρευσει εκ της κοιλιας αυτου.
39 He said this in reference to the Spirit that those who came to believe in him were to receive. There was, of course, no Spirit yet, 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 Some in the crowd who heard these words said, "This is truly the Prophet."	40 Πολλοι λοιπον εκ του οχλου ακουσαντες τον λογον, ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι αληθως ο προφητης.
41 Others said, "This is the Messiah." But others said, "The Messiah will not come from Galilee, will he?	41 Αλλοι ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος. Αλλοι δε ελεγον? Μη γαρ εκ της Γαλιλαιας ερχεται ο Χριστος;
42 Does not scripture say that the Messiah will be of David's family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"	42 Δεν ειπεν η γραφη οτι εκ του σπερματος του Δαβιδ και απο της κωμης Βηθλεεμ, οπου ητο ο Δαβιδ, ερχεται ο Χριστος;
43 So a division occurred in the crowd because of him.	43 Σχισμα λοιπον εγεινε μεταξυ του οχλου δι' αυτον.
44 Some of them even wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.	44 Τινες δε εξ αυτων ηθελον να πιασωσιν αυτον, αλλ' ουδεις επεβαλεν επ' αυτον τας χειρας.
45 So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why did you not bring him?"	45 Ηλθον λοιπον οι υπηρεται προς τους αρχιερεις και Φαρισαιους, και εκεινοι ειπον προς αυτους? Δια τι δεν εφερετε αυτον;
46 The guards answered, "Never before has anyone spoken like this one."	46 Απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται? Ουδεποτε ελαλησεν ανθρωπος ουτω, καθως ουτος ο ανθρωπος.
47 So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?	47 Απεκριθησαν λοιπον προς αυτους οι Φαρισαιοι? Μηπως και σεις επλανηθητε;
48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?	48 Μηπως τις εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εις αυτον η εκ των Φαρισαιων;
49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed."	49 Αλλ' ο οχλος ουτος, οστις δεν γνωριζει τον νομον, ειναι επικαταρατοι.
50 Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them,	50 Λεγει ο Νικοδημος προς αυτους, ο ελθων προς αυτον δια νυκτος, εις ων εξ αυτων.
51 "Does our law condemn a person before it first hears him and finds out what he is doing?"	51 Μηπως ο νομος ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον, εαν δεν ακουση παρ' αυτου προτερον και μαθη τι πραττει;
52 They answered and said to him, "You are not from Galilee also, are you? Look and see that no prophet arises 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 Then each went to his own house,	53 Και υπηγεν εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου.
