Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John | 1 ὡς οὗν ἔγνω ὁ ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ φαρισαῖοι ὅτι ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ ἰωάννης | |
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples), | 2 _ καίτοιγε ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν ἀλλ᾽ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ _ | |
3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. | 3 ἀφῆκεν τὴν ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν. | |
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria. | 4 ἔδει δὲ αὐτὸν διέρχεσθαι διὰ τῆς σαμαρείας. | |
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: | 5 ἔρχεται οὗν εἰς πόλιν τῆς σαμαρείας λεγομένην συχὰρ πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν ἰακὼβ [τῶ] ἰωσὴφ τῶ υἱῶ αὐτοῦ· | |
6 and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. | 6 ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ ἰακώβ. ὁ οὗν ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ· ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη. | |
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. | 7 ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, δός μοι πεῖν· | |
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food. | 8 οἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσιν. | |
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) | 9 λέγει οὗν αὐτῶ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ σαμαρῖτις, πῶς σὺ ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ πεῖν αἰτεῖς γυναικὸς σαμαρίτιδος οὔσης; οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται ἰουδαῖοι σαμαρίταις. | |
10 Jesus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. | 10 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι, δός μοι πεῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν. | |
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water? | 11 λέγει αὐτῶ [ἡ γυνή], κύριε, οὔτε ἄντλημα ἔχεις καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶν βαθύ· πόθεν οὗν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν; | |
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? | 12 μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἰακώβ, ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν τὸ φρέαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιεν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ; | |
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again: | 13 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν· | |
14 but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. | 14 ὃς δ᾽ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὖ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῶ, οὐ μὴ διψήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῶ γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῶ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. | |
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. | 15 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή, κύριε, δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ διέρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν. | |
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. | 16 λέγει αὐτῇ, ὕπαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε. | |
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: | 17 ἀπεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, καλῶς εἶπας ὅτι ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω· | |
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly. | 18 πέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας. | |
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. | 19 λέγει αὐτῶ ἡ γυνή, κύριε, θεωρῶ ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ. | |
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. | 20 οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόπος ὅπου προσκυνεῖν δεῖ. | |
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. | 21 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πίστευέ μοι, γύναι, ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις προσκυνήσετε τῶ πατρί. | |
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. | 22 ὑμεῖς προσκυνεῖτε ὃ οὐκ οἴδατε· ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦμεν ὃ οἴδαμεν, ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν ἰουδαίων ἐστίν. | |
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. | 23 ἀλλὰ ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῶ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν. | |
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. | 24 πνεῦμα ὁ θεός, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν. | |
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things. | 25 λέγει αὐτῶ ἡ γυνή, οἶδα ὅτι μεσσίας ἔρχεται, ὁ λεγόμενος χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα. | |
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am `he'. | 26 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐγώ εἰμι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι. | |
27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? | 27 καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἦλθαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει· οὐδεὶς μέντοι εἶπεν, τί ζητεῖς; ἤ, τί λαλεῖς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς; | |
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, | 28 ἀφῆκεν οὗν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, | |
29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that `ever' I did: can this be the Christ? | 29 δεῦτε ἴδετε ἄνθρωπον ὃς εἶπέν μοι πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα· μήτι οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός; | |
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. | 30 ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτόν. | |
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. | 31 ἐν τῶ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες, ῥαββί, φάγε. | |
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. | 32 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε. | |
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him `aught' to eat? | 33 ἔλεγον οὗν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους, μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῶ φαγεῖν; | |
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. | 34 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιήσω τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον. | |
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and `then' cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest. | 35 οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ θερισμὸς ἔρχεται; ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐπάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας ὅτι λευκαί εἰσιν πρὸς θερισμόν. ἤδη | |
36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. | 36 ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων. | |
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. | 37 ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ἀληθινὸς ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σπείρων καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων. | |
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor. | 38 ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε· ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν, καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε. | |
39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that `ever' I did. | 39 ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν σαμαριτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικὸς μαρτυρούσης ὅτι εἶπέν μοι πάντα ἃ ἐποίησα. | |
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days. | 40 ὡς οὗν ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ σαμαρῖται, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν μεῖναι παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡμέρας. | |
41 And many more believed because of his word; | 41 καὶ πολλῶ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, | |
42 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. | 42 τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν πιστεύομεν· αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὖτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου. | |
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee. | 43 μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν· | |
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. | 44 αὐτὸς γὰρ ἰησοῦς ἐμαρτύρησεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ πατρίδι τιμὴν οὐκ ἔχει. | |
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. | 45 ὅτε οὗν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν, ἐδέξαντο αὐτὸν οἱ γαλιλαῖοι, πάντα ἑωρακότες ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, καὶ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν. | |
46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. | 46 ἦλθεν οὗν πάλιν εἰς τὴν κανὰ τῆς γαλιλαίας, ὅπου ἐποίησεν τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον. καὶ ἦν τις βασιλικὸς οὖ ὁ υἱὸς ἠσθένει ἐν καφαρναούμ· | |
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought `him' that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. | 47 οὖτος ἀκούσας ὅτι ἰησοῦς ἥκει ἐκ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἠρώτα ἵνα καταβῇ καὶ ἰάσηται αὐτοῦ τὸν υἱόν, ἤμελλεν γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκειν. | |
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. | 48 εἶπεν οὗν ὁ ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν, ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε. | |
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. | 49 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλικός, κύριε, κατάβηθι πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸ παιδίον μου. | |
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. | 50 λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου· ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ. ἐπίστευσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῶ λόγῳ ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐπορεύετο. | |
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived. | 51 ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ καταβαίνοντος οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ ὑπήντησαν αὐτῶ λέγοντες ὅτι ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ζῇ. | |
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. | 52 ἐπύθετο οὗν τὴν ὥραν παρ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν ᾗ κομψότερον ἔσχεν· εἶπαν οὗν αὐτῶ ὅτι ἐχθὲς ὥραν ἑβδόμην ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ὁ πυρετός. | |
53 So the father knew that `it was' at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. | 53 ἔγνω οὗν ὁ πατὴρ ὅτι [ἐν] ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐν ᾗ εἶπεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ, καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ὅλη. | |
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee. | 54 τοῦτο [δὲ] πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν. | |
