Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 6

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Μετα ταυτα ανεχωρησεν ο Ιησους περαν της θαλασσης της Γαλιλαιας της Τιβεριαδος?	1 After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee -- or of Tiberias-
2 και ηκολουθει αυτον οχλος πολυς, διοτι εβλεπον τα θαυματα αυτου, τα οποια εκαμνεν επι των ασθενουντων.	2 and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he had done in curing the sick.
3 Ανεβη δε εις το ορος ο Ιησους και εκει εκαθητο μετα των μαθητων αυτου.	3 Jesus climbed the hillside and sat down there with his disciples.
4 Επλησιαζε δε το πασχα, η εορτη των Ιουδαιων.	4 The time of the Jewish Passover was near.
5 Υψωσας λοιπον ο Ιησους τους οφθαλμους και ιδων οτι πολυς οχλος ερχεται προς αυτον, λεγει προς τον Φιλιππον? Ποθεν θελομεν αγορασει αρτους, δια να φαγωσιν ουτοι;	5 Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, 'Where can we buy some bread forthese people to eat?'
6 Ελεγε δε τουτο δοκιμαζων αυτον? διοτι αυτος ηξευρε τι εμελλε να καμη.	6 He said this only to put Philip to the test; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do.
7 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Φιλιππος? Διακοσιων δηναριων αρτοι δεν αρκουσιν εις αυτους, δια να λαβη ολιγον τι εκαστος αυτων.	7 Philip answered, 'Two hundred denari would not buy enough to give them a little piece each.'
8 Λεγει προς αυτον εις εκ των μαθητων αυτου, Ανδρεας ο αδελφος Σιμωνος Πετρου?	8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said,
9 Εδω ειναι εν παιδαριον, το οποιον εχει πεντε αρτους κριθινους και δυο οψαρια? αλλα ταυτα τι ειναι εις τοσουτους;	9 'Here is a small boy with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that among so many?'
10 Ειπε δε ο Ιησους? Καμετε τους ανθρωπους να καθησωσιν? ητο δε χορτος πολυς εν τω τοπω. Εκαθησαν λοιπον οι ανδρες τον αριθμον εως πεντακισχιλιοι.	10 Jesus said to them, 'Make the people sit down.' There was plenty of grass there, and as many as fivethousand men sat down.
11 Και ελαβεν ο Ιησους τους αρτους και ευχαριστησας διεμοιρασεν εις τους μαθητας, οι δε μαθηται εις τους καθημενους? ομοιως και εκ των οψαριων οσον ηθελον.	11 Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were sitting there; he thendid the same with the fish, distributing as much as they wanted.
12 Αφου δε εχορτασθησαν, λεγει προς τους μαθητας αυτους? Συναξατε τα περισσευσαντα κλασματα, δια να μη χαθη τιποτε.	12 When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, 'Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing iswasted.'
13 Εσυναξαν λοιπον και εγεμισαν δωδεκα κοφινους κλασματων εκ των πεντε αρτων των κριθινων, τα οποια επερισσευσαν εις τους φαγοντας.	13 So they picked them up and fil ed twelve large baskets with scraps left over from the meal of fivebarley loaves.
14 Οι ανθρωποι λοιπον, ιδοντες το θαυμα, το οποιον εκαμεν ο Ιησους, ελεγον οτι Ουτος ειναι αληθως ο προφητης ο μελλων να ελθη εις τον κοσμον.	14 Seeing the sign that he had done, the people said, 'This is indeed the prophet who is to come into theworld.'
15 Ο Ιησους λοιπον γνωρισας οτι μελλουσι να ελθωσι και να αρπασωσιν αυτον, δια να καμωσιν αυτον βασιλεα, ανεχωρησε παλιν εις το ορος αυτος μονος.	15 Jesus, as he realised they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, fled back tothe hil s alone.
16 Καθως δε εγεινεν εσπερα, κατεβησαν οι μαθηται αυτου εις την θαλασσαν,	16 That evening the disciples went down to the shore of the sea
17 και εμβαντες εις το πλοιον, ηρχοντο περαν της θαλασσης εις Καπερναουμ. Και ειχεν ηδη γεινει σκοτος και ο Ιησους δεν ειχεν ελθει προς αυτους,	17 and got into a boat to make for Capernaum on the other side of the sea. It was getting dark by nowand Jesus had stil not rejoined them.
18 και η θαλασσα υψονετο, επειδη επνεε δυνατος ανεμος.	18 The wind was strong, and the sea was getting rough.
19 Αφου λοιπον εκωπηλατησαν ως εικοσιπεντε η τριακοντα σταδια βλεπουσι τον Ιησουν περιπατουντα επι της θαλασσης και πλησιαζοντα εις το πλοιον, και εφοβηθησαν.	19 They had rowed three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming towards theboat. They were afraid,
20 Εκεινος δε λεγει προς αυτους? Εγω ειμαι? μη φοβεισθε.	20 but he said, 'It's me. Don't be afraid.'
21 Ηθελον λοιπον να λαβωσιν αυτον εις το πλοιον, και παρευθυς το πλοιον εφθασεν εις την γην, εις την οποιαν υπηγαινον.	21 They were ready to take him into the boat, and immediately it reached the shore at the place they weremaking for.
22 Τη επαυριον ο οχλος ο ισταμενος περαν της θαλασσης οτε ειδεν οτι πλοιαριον αλλο δεν ητο εκει ειμη εν, εκεινο εις το οποιον εισηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου, και οτι ο Ιησους δεν εισηλθε μετα των μαθητων αυτου εις το πλοιαριον, αλλα μονοι οι μαθηται αυτου ανεχωρησαν?	22 Next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side saw that only one boat had been there, and thatJesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that the disciples had set off by themselves.
23 ηλθον δε αλλα πλοιαρια εκ της Τιβεριαδος πλησιον του τοπου, οπου εφαγον τον αρτον, αφου ο Κυριος ευχαριστησεν?	23 Other boats, however, had put in from Tiberias, near the place where the bread had been eaten.
24 οτε λοιπον ειδεν ο οχλος οτι ο Ιησους δεν ειναι εκει, ουδε οι μαθηται αυτου, εισηλθον και αυτοι εις τα πλοια και ηλθον εις Καπερναουμ ζητουντες τον Ιησουν.	24 When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into those boats andcrossed to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 Και ευροντες αυτον περαν της θαλασσης, ειπον προς αυτον? Ραββι, ποτε ηλθες εδω;	25 When they found him on the other side, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?'
26 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιησους και ειπεν? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, με ζητειτε, ουχι διοτι ειδετε θαυματα, αλλα διοτι εφαγετε εκ των αρτων και εχορτασθητε.	26 Jesus answered: In al truth I tel you, you are looking for me not because you have seen the signs butbecause you had al the bread you wanted to eat.
27 Εργαζεσθε μη δια την τροφην την φθειρομενην, αλλα δια την τροφην την μενουσαν εις ζωην αιωνιον, την οποιαν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου θελει σας δωσει? διοτι τουτον εσφραγισεν ο Πατηρ ο Θεος.	27 Do not work for food that goes bad, but work for food that endures for eternal life, which the Son ofman wil give you, for on him the Father, God himself, has set his seal.
28 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Τι να καμωμεν, δια να εργαζωμεθα τα εργα του Θεου;	28 Then they said to him, 'What must we do if we are to carry out God's work?'
29 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Τουτο ειναι το εργον του Θεου, να πιστευσητε εις τουτον, τον οποιον εκεινος απεστειλε.	29 Jesus gave them this answer, 'This is carrying out God's work: you must believe in the one he hassent.'
30 Τοτε ειπον προς αυτον? Τι σημειον λοιπον καμνεις συ, δια να ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν εις σε; τι εργαζεσαι;	30 So they said, 'What sign wil you yourself do, the sight of which wil make us believe in you? What workwil you do?
31 οι πατερες ημων εφαγον το μαννα εν τη ερημω, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Αρτον εκ του ουρανου εδωκεν εις αυτους να φαγωσιν.	31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'
32 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, δεν εδωκεν εις εσας τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου ο Μωυσης, αλλ' ο Πατηρ μου σας διδει τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου τον αληθινον.	32 Jesus answered them: In al truth I tel you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, itis my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread;
33 Διοτι ο αρτος του Θεου ειναι ο καταβαινων εκ του ουρανου και διδων ζωην εις τον κοσμον.	33 for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
34 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Κυριε, παντοτε δος εις ημας τον αρτον τουτον.	34 'Sir,' they said, 'give us that bread always.'
35 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εγω ειμαι ο αρτος της ζωης? οστις ερχεται προς εμε, δεν θελει πεινασει, και οστις πιστευει εις εμε, δεν θελει διψησει πωποτε.	35 Jesus answered them: I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me wil ever hunger; no one whobelieves in me wil ever thirst.
36 Πλην σας ειπον οτι και με ειδετε και δεν πιστευετε.	36 But, as I have told you, you can see me and stil you do not believe.
37 Παν ο, τι μοι διδει ο Πατηρ, προς εμε θελει ελθει, και τον ερχομενον προς εμε δεν θελω εκβαλει εξω?	37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; I will certainly not reject anyone who comes tome,
38 διοτι κατεβην εκ του ουρανου, ουχι δια να καμω το θελημα το εμον, αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με.	38 because I have come from heaven, not to do my own wil , but to do the wil of him who sent me.
39 Τουτο δε ειναι το θελημα του πεμψαντος με Πατρος, παν ο, τι μοι εδωκε να μη απολεσω ουδεν εξ αυτου, αλλα να αναστησω αυτο εν τη εσχατη ημερα.	39 Now the wil of him who sent me is that I should lose nothing of al that he has given to me, but that Ishould raise it up on the last day.
40 Και τουτο ειναι το θελημα του πεμψαντος με, πας οστις βλεπει τον Υιον και πιστευει εις αυτον να εχη ζωην αιωνιον, και εγω θελω αναστησει αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα.	40 It is my Father's wil that whoever sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and that Ishould raise that person up on the last day.
41 Εγογγυζον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι ο αρτος ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου,	41 Meanwhile the Jews were complaining to each other about him, because he had said, 'I am the breadthat has come down from heaven.'
42 και ελεγον? δεν ειναι ουτος Ιησους ο υιος του Ιωσηφ, του οποιου ημεις γνωριζομεν τον πατερα και την μητερα; πως λοιπον λεγει ουτος οτι εκ του ουρανου κατεβην;	42 They were saying, 'Surely this is Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know. How can henow say, "I have come down from heaven?" '
43 Απεκριθη λοιπον ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Μη γογγυζετε μεταξυ σας.	43 Jesus said in reply to them, 'Stop complaining to each other.
44 Ουδεις δυναται να ελθη προς εμε, εαν δεν ελκυση αυτον ο Πατηρ ο πεμψας με, και εγω θελω αναστησει αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα.	44 'No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me, and I wil raise that person up onthe last day.
45 Ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τοις προφηταις? Και παντες θελουσιν εισθαι διδακτοι του Θεου. Πας λοιπον, οστις ακουση παρα του Πατρος και μαθη, ερχεται προς εμε?	45 It is written in the prophets: They wil al be taught by God; everyone who has listened to the Father,and learnt from him, comes to me.
46 ουχι οτι ειδε τις τον Πατερα, ειμη εκεινος οστις ειναι παρα του Θεου, ουτος ειδε τον Πατερα.	46 Not that anybody has seen the Father, except him who has his being from God: he has seen theFather.
47 Αληθως αληθως, σας λεγω, Ο πιστευων εις εμε εχει ζωην αιωνιον.	47 In al truth I tel you, everyone who believes has eternal life.
48 Εγω ειμαι ο αρτος της ζωης.	48 I am the bread of life.
49 Οι πατερες σας εφαγον το μαννα εν τη ερημω και απεθανον?	49 Your fathers ate manna in the desert and they are dead;
50 ουτος ειναι ο αρτος ο καταβαινων εκ του ουρανου, δια να φαγη τις εξ αυτου και να μη αποθανη.	50 but this is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.
51 Εγω ειμαι ο αρτος ο ζων, ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου. Εαν τις φαγη εκ τουτου του αρτου, θελει ζησει εις τον αιωνα. Και ο αρτος δε τον οποιον εγω θελω δωσει, ειναι η σαρξ μου την οποιαν εγω θελω δωσει υπερ της ζωης του κοσμου.	51 I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever;and the bread that I shal give is my flesh, for the life of the world.'
52 Εμαχοντο λοιπον προς αλληλους Ιουδαιοι, λεγοντες? Πως δυναται ουτος να δωση εις ημας να φαγωμεν την σαρκα αυτου;	52 Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?'
53 Ειπε λοιπον εις αυτους ο Ιησους? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, Εαν δεν φαγητε την σαρκα του υιου του ανθρωπου και πιητε το αιμα αυτου, δεν εχετε ζωην εν εαυτοις.	53 Jesus replied to them: In al truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink hisblood, you have no life in you.
54 Οστις τρωγει την σαρκα μου και πινει το αιμα μου, εχει ζωην αιωνιον, και εγω θελω αναστησει αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα.	54 Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shal raise that person up onthe last day.
55 Διοτι η σαρξ μου αληθως ειναι τροφη, και το αιμα μου αληθως ειναι ποσις.	55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Οστις τρωγει την σαρκα μου και πινει το αιμα μου εν εμοι μενει, και εγω εν αυτω.	56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
57 Καθως με απεστειλεν ο ζων Πατηρ και εγω ζω δια τον Πατερα, ουτω και οστις με τρωγει θελει ζησει και εκεινος δι' εμε.	57 As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me wil also draw lifefrom me.
58 Ουτος ειναι ο αρτος ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου, ουχι καθως οι πατερες σας εφαγον το μαννα και απεθανον? οστις τρωγει τουτον τον αρτον θελει ζησει εις τον αιωνα.	58 This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: theyare dead, but anyone who eats this bread wil live for ever.
59 Ταυτα ειπεν εν τη συναγωγη, διδασκων εν Καπερναουμ.	59 This is what he taught at Capernaum in the synagogue.
60 Πολλοι λοιπον εκ των μαθητων αυτου ακουσαντες, ειπον? Σκληρος ειναι ουτος ο λογος? τις δυναται να ακουη αυτον;	60 After hearing it, many of his fol owers said, 'This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?'
61 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους εν εαυτω οτι γογγυζουσι περι τουτου οι μαθηται αυτου, ειπε προς αυτους? Τουτο σας σκανδαλιζει;	61 Jesus was aware that his fol owers were complaining about it and said, 'Does this disturb you?
62 εαν λοιπον θεωρητε τον Υιον του ανθρωπου αναβαινοντα οπου ητο το προτερον;	62 What if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before?
63 το πνευμα ειναι εκεινο το οποιον ζωοποιει, η σαρξ δεν ωφελει ουδεν? οι λογοι, τους οποιους εγω λαλω προς εσας, πνευμα ειναι και ζωη ειναι.	63 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spiritand they are life.
64 Πλην ειναι τινες απο σας, οιτινες δεν πιστευουσι. Διοτι ηξευρεν εξ αρχης ο Ιησους, τινες ειναι οι μη πιστευοντες και τις ειναι ο μελλων να παραδωση αυτον.	64 'But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believeand who was to betray him.
65 Και ελεγε? Δια τουτο σας ειπον οτι ουδεις δυναται να ελθη προς εμε, εαν δεν ειναι δεδομενον εις αυτον εκ του Πατρος μου.	65 He went on, 'This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.'
66 Εκτοτε πολλοι των μαθητων αυτου εστραφησαν εις τα οπισω και δεν περιεπατουν πλεον μετ' αυτου.	66 After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.
67 Ειπε λοιπον ο Ιησους προς τους δωδεκα? Μηπως και σεις θελετε να υπαγητε;	67 Then Jesus said to the Twelve, 'What about you, do you want to go away too?'
68 Απεκριθη λοιπον προς αυτον ο Σιμων Πετρος? Κυριε, προς τινα θελομεν υπαγει; λογους ζωης αιωνιου εχεις?	68 Simon Peter answered, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life,
69 και ημεις επιστευσαμεν και εγνωρισαμεν οτι συ εισαι ο Χριστος ο Υιος του Θεου του ζωντος.	69 and we believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.'
70 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Δεν εξελεξα εγω εσας τους δωδεκα και εις απο σας ειναι διαβολος;	70 Jesus replied to them, 'Did I not choose the Twelve of you? Yet one of you is a devil.'
71 Ελεγε δε τον Ιουδαν του Σιμωνος τον Ισκαριωτην? διοτι ουτος, εις ων εκ των δωδεκα, εμελλε να παραδωση αυτον.	71 He meant Judas son of Simon Iscariot, since this was the man, one of the Twelve, who was to betrayhim.
