John 1

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the beginning was the Word: 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 with God in the beginning.	2 Ουτος ητο εν αρχη παρα τω Θεω.
3 Through him al things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him.	3 Παντα δι' αυτου εγειναν, και χωρις αυτου δεν εγεινεν ουδε εν, το οποιον εγεινεν.
4 What has come into being in him was life, life that was the light of men;	4 Εν αυτω ητο ζωη, και η ζωη ητο το φως των ανθρωπων.
5 and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it.	5 Και το φως εν τη σκοτια φεγγει και η σκοτια δεν κατελαβεν αυτο.
6 A man came, sent by God. His name was John.	6 Υπηρξεν ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα Θεου, ονομαζομενος Ιωαννης?
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone 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, he was to bear witness to the light.	8 Δεν ητο εκεινος το φως, αλλα δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος.
9 The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he 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 that had come into being through him, and the world did not recognise him.	10 Ητο εν τω κοσμω, και ο κοσμος εγεινε δι' αυτου, και ο κοσμος δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον.
11 He came to his own and 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 believed inhis 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 from human stock or human desire or human will but from God himself.	13 οιτινες ουχι εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος, αλλ' εκ Θεου εγεννηθησαν.
14 The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from theFather as only Son of the Father, ful 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 witnesses to him. He proclaims: 'This is the one of whom I said: He who comes after me haspassed 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 Indeed, from his ful ness we have, al of us, received -- one gift replacing another,	16 Και παντες ημεις ελαβομεν εκ του πληρωματος αυτου και χαριν αντι χαριτος?
17 for the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come 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; it is the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made himknown.	18 Ουδεις ειδε ποτε τον Θεον? ο μονογενης Υιος, ο ων εις τον κολπον του Πατρος, εκεινος εφανερωσεν αυτον.
19 This was the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to askhim, '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 declared, he did not deny but declared, 'I am not the Christ.'	20 Και ωμολογησε και δεν ηρνηθη? και ωμολογησεν οτι δεν ειμαι εγω ο Χριστος.
21 So they asked, 'Then are you Elijah?' He replied, '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? We must take back an answer to those who sent us. What haveyou to say about yourself?'	22 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Τις εισαι; δια να δωσωμεν αποκρισιν εις τους αποστειλαντας ημας? τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου;
23 So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied: A voice of one that cries in the desert: Prepare a way for theLord. Make his paths straight!'	23 Απεκριθη? Εγω ειμαι φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ευθυνατε την οδον του Κυριου, καθως ειπεν Ησαιας ο προφητης.
24 Now those who had been sent were Pharisees,	24 Οι δε απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των Φαρισαιων?
25 and they put this question to him, 'Why are you baptising if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, andnot 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 baptise with water; but standing among you -- unknown to you-	26 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιωαννης λεγων? Εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι? εν μεσω δε υμων ισταται εκεινος, τον οποιον σεις δεν γνωριζετε?
27 is the one who is coming after me; and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandal.'	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 at Bethany, on the far side of the Jordan, where John was baptising.	28 Ταυτα εγειναν εν Βηθαβαρα περαν του Ιορδανου, οπου ητο ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, 'Look, there is the lamb of God that takesaway 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 It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existedbefore 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 myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might berevealed to Israel.'	31 Και εγω δεν εγνωριζον αυτον, αλλα δια να φανερωθη εις τον Ισραηλ, δια τουτο ηλθον εγω βαπτιζων εν τω υδατι.
32 And John declared, 'I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on 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 myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, "The man onwhom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise 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 I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.'	34 Και εγω ειδον και εμαρτυρησα, οτι ουτος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.
35 The next day as John stood there again with two of his disciples, Jesus went past,	35 Τη επαυριον παλιν ιστατο ο Ιωαννης και δυο εκ των μαθητων αυτου,
36 and John looked towards him and said, 'Look, there is the lamb of God.'	36 και εμβλεψας εις τον Ιησουν περιπατουντα, λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου.
37 And 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 round, saw them following and said, 'What do you want?' They answered, 'Rabbi' --which means Teacher-'where do you live?'	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 replied, 'Come and see'; so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him that day. It wasabout the tenth hour.	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 One of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, thebrother of Simon Peter.	40 Ητο Ανδρεας ο αδελφος του Σιμωνος Πετρου εις εκ των δυο, οιτινες ηκουσαν περι αυτου παρα του Ιωαννου και ηκολουθησαν αυτον.
41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother and say to him, 'We have found the Messiah' -- whichmeans the Christ-	41 Ουτος πρωτος ευρισκει τον εαυτου αδελφον Σιμωνα και λεγει προς αυτον. Ευρηκαμεν τον Μεσσιαν, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι ο Χριστος.
42 and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, 'You are Simon son of John; you are to becal ed Cephas' -- which means Rock.	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, after Jesus had decided to leave for Galilee, he met Philip and said, 'Follow me.'	43 Τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο Ιησους να εξελθη εις την Γαλιλαιαν? και ευρισκει τον Φιλιππον και λεγει προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι.
44 Philip came from the same town, Bethsaida, as Andrew and Peter.	44 Ητο δε ο Φιλιππος απο Βηθσαιδα, εκ της πολεως Ανδρεου και Πετρου.
45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and theprophets wrote, 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 Nathanael said to him, 'From Nazareth? Can anything good come from that place?' Philip replied,'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 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, 'There, truly, is an Israelite in whom there is nodeception.'	47 Ειδεν ο Ιησους τον Ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου? Ιδου, αληθως Ισραηλιτης, εις τον οποιον δολος δεν υπαρχει.
48 Nathanael asked, 'How do you know me?' Jesus replied, 'Before Philip came to call you, I saw youunder 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, '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 replied, 'You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You are going to seegreater things than that.'	50 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Επειδη σοι ειπον? ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης, πιστευεις; μεγαλητερα τουτων θελεις ιδει.
51 And then he added, 'In al truth I tel you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascendingand descending over 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.
