John 8

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 and Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.	1 Ο δε Ιησους υπηγεν εις το ορος των Ελαιων.
2 At daybreak he appeared in the Temple again; and as al the people came to him, he sat down andbegan to teach them.	2 Και την αυγην ηλθε παλιν εις το ιερον, και πας ο λαος ηρχετο προς αυτον? και καθησας εδιδασκεν αυτους.
3 The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman along who had been caught committing adultery; andmaking her stand there in the middle	3 Φερουσι δε προς αυτον οι γραμματεις και οι Φαρισαιοι γυναικα συλληφθεισαν επι μοιχεια, και στησαντες αυτην εν τω μεσω,
4 they said to Jesus, 'Master, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery,	4 λεγουσι προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, αυτη η γυνη συνεληφθη επ' αυτοφωρω μοιχευομενη.
5 and in the Law Moses has ordered us to stone women of this kind. What have you got to say?'	5 Εν δε τω νομω ο Μωυσης προσεταξεν ημας να λιθοβολωνται αι τοιαυται? συ λοιπον τι λεγεις;
6 They asked him this as a test, looking for an accusation to use against him. But Jesus bent down andstarted writing on the ground with his finger.	6 Ελεγον δε τουτο δοκιμαζοντες αυτον, δια να εχωσι ινα κατηγορωσιν αυτον. Ο δε Ιησους κυψας κατω, εγραφε δια του δακτυλου εις την γην.
7 As they persisted with their question, he straightened up and said, 'Let the one among you who isguiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.'	7 Και επειδη επεμενον ερωτωντες αυτον, ανακυψας ειπε προς αυτους? Οστις απο σας ειναι αναμαρτητος, πρωτος ας ριψη τον λιθον επ' αυτην.
8 Then he bent down and continued writing on the ground.	8 Και παλιν κυψας κατω εγραφεν εις την γην.
9 When they heard this they went away one by one, beginning with the eldest, until the last one had goneand Jesus was left alone with the woman, who remained in the middle.	9 Εκεινοι δε ακουσαντες, εξηρχοντο εις εκαστος, αρχισαντες απο των πρεσβυτερων εως των εσχατων? και εμεινε μονος ο Ιησους και η γυνη ισταμενη εν τω μεσω.
10 Jesus again straightened up and said, 'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'	10 Ανακυψας δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτην? Γυναι, που ειναι εκεινοι οι κατηγοροι σου; δεν σε κατεδικασεν ουδεις;
11 'No one, sir,' she replied. 'Neither do I condemn you,' said Jesus. 'Go away, and from this moment sinno more.'	11 Και εκεινη ειπεν? Ουδεις, Κυριε. Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην? Ουδε εγω σε καταδικαζω? υπαγε, και εις το εξης μη αμαρτανε.
12 When Jesus spoke to the people again, he said: I am the light of the world; anyone who fol ows me wilnot be walking in the dark, but wil have the light of life.	12 Παλιν λοιπον ο Ιησους ελαλησε προς αυτους λεγων? Εγω ειμαι το φως του κοσμου? οστις ακολουθει εμε δεν θελει περιπατησει εις το σκοτος, αλλα θελει εχει το φως της ζωης.
13 At this the Pharisees said to him, 'You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not true.'	13 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι? Συ περι σεαυτου μαρτυρεις? η μαρτυρια σου δεν ειναι αληθης.
14 Jesus replied: Even though I am testifying on my own behalf, my testimony is stil true, because I knowwhere I have come from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.	14 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Και αν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου, η μαρτυρια μου ειναι αληθης, διοτι εξευρω ποθεν ηλθον και που υπαγω? σεις ομως δεν εξευρετε ποθεν ερχομαι και που υπαγω.
15 You judge by human standards; I judge no one,	15 Σεις κατα την σαρκα κρινετε? εγω δεν κρινω ουδενα.
16 but if I judge, my judgement will be true, because I am not alone: the one who sent me is with me;	16 Αλλα και εαν εγω κρινω, η κρισις η εμη ειναι αληθης, διοτι μονος δεν ειμαι, αλλ' εγω και ο Πατηρ ο πεμψας με.
17 and in your Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.	17 Και εν τω νομω δε υμων ειναι γεγραμμενον οτι δυο ανθρωπων η μαρτυρια ειναι αληθινη.
18 I testify on my own behalf, but the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf, too.	18 Εγω ειμαι ο μαρτυρων περι εμαυτου, και ο πεμψας με Πατηρ μαρτυρει περι εμου.
19 They asked him, 'Where is your Father then?' Jesus answered: You do not know me, nor do you knowmy Father; if you did know me, you would know my Father as wel .	19 Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον? Που ειναι ο Πατηρ σου; Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Ουτε εμε εξευρετε ουτε τον Πατερα μου? εαν ηξευρετε εμε, ηθελετε εξευρει και τον Πατερα μου.
20 He spoke these words in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple. No one arrested him, becausehis hour had not yet come.	20 Τουτους τους λογους ελαλησεν ο Ιησους εν τω θησαυροφυλακιω, διδασκων εν τω ιερω, και ουδεις επιασεν αυτον, διοτι δεν ειχεν ελθει ετι η ωρα αυτου.
21 Again he said to them: I am going away; you will look for me and you wil die in your sin. Where I amgoing, you cannot come.	21 Ειπε λοιπον παλιν προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εγω υπαγω και θελετε με ζητησει, και θελετε αποθανει εν τη αμαρτια υμων? οπου εγω υπαγω, σεις δεν δυνασθε να ελθητε.
22 So the Jews said to one another, 'Is he going to kil himself, that he says, "Where I am going, youcannot come?" '	22 Ελεγον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι? Μηπως θελει θανατωσει εαυτον, και δια τουτο λεγει, Οπου εγω υπαγω, σεις δεν δυνασθε να ελθητε;
23 Jesus went on: You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.	23 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Σεις εισθε εκ των κατω, εγω ειμαι εκ των ανω? σεις εισθε εκ του κοσμου τουτου, εγω δεν ειμαι εκ του κοσμου τουτου.
24 I have told you already: You wil die in your sins. Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you wil die inyour sins.	24 Σας ειπον λοιπον οτι θελετε αποθανει εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων? διοτι εαν δεν πιστευσητε οτι εγω ειμαι, θελετε αποθανει εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων.
25 So they said to him, 'Who are you?' Jesus answered: What I have told you from the outset.	25 Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον? Συ τις εισαι; και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ο, τι σας λεγω απ' αρχης.
26 About you I have much to say and much to judge; but the one who sent me is true, and what I declareto the world I have learnt from him.	26 Πολλα εχω να λεγω και να κρινω περι υμων? αλλ' ο πεμψας με ειναι αληθης, και εγω οσα ηκουσα παρ' αυτου, ταυτα λεγω εις τον κοσμον.
27 They did not recognise that he was talking to them about the Father.	27 δεν ενοησαν οτι ελεγε προς αυτους περι του Πατρος.
28 So Jesus said: When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you wil know that I am He and that I donothing of my own accord. What I say is what the Father has taught me;	28 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Οταν υψωσητε τον Υιον του ανθρωπου, τοτε θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι, και απ' εμαυτου δεν καμνω ουδεν, αλλα καθως με εδιδαξεν ο Πατηρ μου, ταυτα λαλω.
29 he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him.	29 Και ο πεμψας με ειναι μετ' εμου? δεν με αφηκεν ο Πατηρ μονον, διοτι εγω καμνω παντοτε τα αρεστα εις αυτον.
30 As he was saying this, many came to believe in him.	30 Ενω ελαλει ταυτα, πολλοι επιστευσαν εις αυτον.
31 To the Jews who believed in him Jesus said: If you make my word your home you wil indeed be mydisciples;	31 Ελεγε λοιπον ο Ιησους προς τους Ιουδαιους τους πιστευσαντας εις αυτον? Εαν σεις μεινητε εν τω λογω τω εμω, εισθε αληθως μαθηται μου,
32 you wil come to know the truth, and the truth wil set you free.	32 και θελετε γνωρισει την αληθειαν, και η αληθεια θελει σας ελευθερωσει.
33 They answered, 'We are descended from Abraham and we have never been the slaves of anyone;what do you mean, "You wil be set free?" '	33 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτον? Σπερμα του Αβρααμ ειμεθα, και δεν εγειναμεν δουλοι εις ουδενα πωποτε? πως συ λεγεις οτι θελετε γεινει ελευθεροι;
34 Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave.	34 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω οτι πας οστις πραττει την αμαρτιαν δουλος ειναι της αμαρτιας.
35 Now a slave has no permanent standing in the household, but a son belongs to it for ever.	35 Ο δε δουλος δεν μενει παντοτε εν τη οικια? ο υιος μενει παντοτε.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.	36 Εαν λοιπον ο Υιος σας ελευθερωση, οντως ελευθεροι θελετε εισθαι.
37 I know that you are descended from Abraham; but you want to kil me because my word finds no placein you.	37 Εξευρω οτι εισθε σπερμα του Αβρααμ? αλλα ζητειτε να με θανατωσητε, διοτι ο λογος ο εμος δεν χωρει εις εσας.
38 What I speak of is what I have seen at my Father's side, and you too put into action the lessons youhave learnt from your father.	38 Εγω λαλω ο, τι ειδον πλησιον του Πατρος μου? και σεις ομοιως καμνετε ο, τι ειδετε πλησιον του πατρος σας.
39 They repeated, 'Our father is Abraham.' Jesus said to them: If you are Abraham's children, do asAbraham did.	39 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Ο πατηρ ημων ειναι ο Αβρααμ. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εαν ησθε τεκνα του Αβρααμ, τα εργα του Αβρααμ ηθελετε καμνει.
40 As it is, you want to kill me, a man who has told you the truth as I have learnt it from God; that is notwhat Abraham did.	40 Τωρα δε ζητειτε να με θανατωσητε, ανθρωπον οστις σας ελαλησα την αληθειαν, την οποιαν ηκουσα παρα του Θεου? τουτο ο Αβρααμ δεν εκαμε.
41 You are doing your father's work. They replied, 'We were not born illegitimate, the only father we haveis God.'	41 Σεις καμνετε τα εργα του πατρος σας. Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? ημεις δεν εγεννηθημεν εκ πορνειας? ενα Πατερα εχομεν, τον Θεον.
42 Jesus answered: If God were your father, you would love me, since I have my origin in God and havecome from him; I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.	42 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εαν ο Θεος ητο Πατηρ σας, ηθελετε αγαπα εμε? διοτι εγω εκ του Θεου εξηλθον και ερχομαι? επειδη δεν ηλθον απ' εμαυτου, αλλ' εκεινος με απεστειλε.
43 Why do you not understand what I say? Because you cannot bear to listen to my words.	43 Δια τι δεν γνωριζετε την λαλιαν μου; διοτι δεν δυνασθε να ακουητε τον λογον μου.
44 You are from your father, the devil, and you prefer to do what your father wants. He was a murdererfrom the start; he was never grounded in the truth; there is no truth in him at all. When he lies he is speaking trueto his nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.	44 Σεις εισθε εκ πατρος του διαβολου και τας επιθυμιας του πατρος σας θελετε να πραττητε. Εκεινος ητο απ' αρχης ανθρωποκτονος και δεν μενει εν τη αληθεια, διοτι αληθεια δεν υπαρχει εν αυτω? οταν λαλη το ψευδος, εκ των ιδιων λαλει, διοτι ειναι ψευστης και ο πατηρ αυτου του ψευδους.
45 But it is because I speak the truth that you do not believe me.	45 Εγω δε διοτι λεγω την αληθειαν, δεν με πιστευετε.
46 Can any of you convict me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?	46 Τις απο σας με ελεγχει περι αμαρτιας; εαν δε αληθειαν λεγω, δια τι σεις δεν με πιστευετε;
47 Whoever comes from God listens to the words of God; the reason why you do not listen is that you arenot from God.	47 Οστις ειναι εκ του Θεου, τους λογους του Θεου ακουει? δια τουτο σεις δεν ακουετε, διοτι εκ του Θεου δεν εισθε.
48 The Jews replied, 'Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and possessed by a devil?'Jesus answered:	48 Απεκριθησαν λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι και ειπον προς αυτον? Δεν λεγομεν ημεις καλως οτι Σαμαρειτης εισαι συ και δαιμονιον εχεις;
49 I am not possessed; but I honour my Father, and you deny me honour.	49 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Εγω δαιμονιον δεν εχω, αλλα τιμω τον Πατερα μου, και σεις με ατιμαζετε.
50 I do not seek my own glory; there is someone who does seek it and is the judge of it.	50 Και εγω δεν ζητω την δοξαν μου? υπαρχει ο ζητων και κρινων.
51 In al truth I tel you, whoever keeps my word wil never see death.	51 Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω? Εαν τις φυλαξη τον λογον μου, θανατον δεν θελει ιδει εις τον αιωνα.
52 The Jews said, 'Now we know that you are possessed. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead,and yet you say, "Whoever keeps my word wil never know the taste of death."	52 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον οι Ιουδαιοι? Τωρα κατελαβομεν οτι δαιμονιον εχεις. Ο Αβρααμ απεθανε και οι προφηται, και συ λεγεις? Εαν τις φυλαξη τον λογον μου, δεν θελει γευθη θανατον εις τον αιωνα.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? The prophets are dead too. Who are youclaiming to be?'	53 Μηπως συ εισαι μεγαλητερος του πατρος ημων Αβρααμ, οστις απεθανε; και οι προφηται απεθανον? συ τινα καμνεις σεαυτον;
54 Jesus answered: If I were to seek my own glory my glory would be worth nothing; in fact, my glory isconferred by the Father, by the one of whom you say, 'He is our God,'	54 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Εαν εγω δοξαζω εμαυτον, η δοξα μου ειναι ουδεν? ο Πατηρ μου ειναι οστις με δοξαζει, τον οποιον σεις λεγετε οτι ειναι Θεος σας.
55 although you do not know him. But I know him, and if I were to say, 'I do not know him,' I should be aliar, as you yourselves are. But I do know him, and I keep his word.	55 Και δεν εγνωρισατε αυτον εγω ομως γνωριζω αυτον? και εαν ειπω οτι δεν γνωριζω αυτον, θελω εισθαι ομοιος σας ψευστης? αλλα γνωριζω αυτον και τον λογον αυτου φυλαττω.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to think that he would see my Day; he saw it and was glad.	56 Ο Αβρααμ ο πατηρ σας ειχεν αγαλλιασιν να ιδη την ημεραν την εμην και ειδε και εχαρη.
57 The Jews then said, 'You are not fifty yet, and you have seen Abraham!'	57 Ειπον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι προς αυτον? Πεντηκοντα ετη δεν εχεις ετι, και ειδες τον Αβρααμ;
58 Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, before Abraham ever was, I am.	58 Ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω? Πριν γεινη ο Αβρααμ, εγω ειμαι.
59 At this they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself and left the Temple.	59 Εσηκωσαν λοιπον λιθους δια να ριψωσι κατ' αυτου? πλην ο Ιησους εκρυβη και εξηλθεν εκ του ιερου περασας δια μεσον αυτων, και ουτως ανεχωρησε.
