John 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.	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 All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.	3 Παντα δι' αυτου εγειναν, και χωρις αυτου δεν εγεινεν ουδε εν, το οποιον εγεινεν.
4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.	4 Εν αυτω ητο ζωη, και η ζωη ητο το φως των ανθρωπων.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.	5 Και το φως εν τη σκοτια φεγγει και η σκοτια δεν κατελαβεν αυτο.
6 There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.	6 Υπηρξεν ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα Θεου, ονομαζομενος Ιωαννης?
7 He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would 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 he was to offer testimony about the Light.	8 Δεν ητο εκεινος το φως, αλλα δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος.
9 The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this 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 was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.	10 Ητο εν τω κοσμω, και ο κοσμος εγεινε δι' αυτου, και ο κοσμος δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον.
11 He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.	11 Εις τα ιδια ηλθε, και οι ιδιοι δεν εδεχθησαν αυτον.
12 Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.	12 Οσοι δε εδεχθησαν αυτον, εις αυτους εδωκεν εξουσιαν να γεινωσι τεκνα Θεου, εις τους πιστευοντας εις το ονομα αυτου?
13 These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, 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 he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten son from the Father, 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 offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed 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 And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace.	16 Και παντες ημεις ελαβομεν εκ του πληρωματος αυτου και χαριν αντι χαριτος?
17 For the law was given though Moses, but 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 ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described 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 sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might 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 And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.”	20 Και ωμολογησε και δεν ηρνηθη? και ωμολογησεν οτι δεν ειμαι εγω ο Χριστος.
21 And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”	21 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον? Τι λοιπον; Ηλιας εισαι συ; και λεγει, δεν ειμαι. Ο προφητης εισαι συ; και απεκριθη, Ουχι.
22 Therefore, they said to him: “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about 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 a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”	23 Απεκριθη? Εγω ειμαι φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ευθυνατε την οδον του Κυριου, καθως ειπεν Ησαιας ο προφητης.
24 And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees.	24 Οι δε απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των Φαρισαιων?
25 And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not 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 by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know.	26 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιωαννης λεγων? Εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι? εν μεσω δε υμων ισταται εκεινος, τον οποιον σεις δεν γνωριζετε?
27 The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.”	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 These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.	28 Ταυτα εγειναν εν Βηθαβαρα περαν του Ιορδανου, οπου ητο ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων.
29 On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he 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 This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed 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 And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in 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 offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him.	32 Και εμαρτυρησεν ο Ιωαννης, λεγων οτι Ειδον το Πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ' αυτον.
33 And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes 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 And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.”	34 Και εγω ειδον και εμαρτυρησα, οτι ουτος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.
35 The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.	35 Τη επαυριον παλιν ιστατο ο Ιωαννης και δυο εκ των μαθητων αυτου,
36 And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”	36 και εμβλεψας εις τον Ιησουν περιπατουντα, λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου.
37 And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.	37 Και ηκουσαν αυτον οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντα και ηκολουθησαν τον Ιησουν.
38 Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, 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 said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about 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 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.	40 Ητο Ανδρεας ο αδελφος του Σιμωνος Πετρου εις εκ των δυο, οιτινες ηκουσαν περι αυτου παρα του Ιωαννου και ηκολουθησαν αυτον.
41 First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as 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 led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as 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 On the next day, he wanted to go into 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 city of Andrew and Peter.	44 Ητο δε ο Φιλιππος απο Βηθσαιδα, εκ της πολεως Ανδρεου και Πετρου.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the 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 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be 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 he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”	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, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”	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 and said: “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 responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”	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 heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and 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.
