Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John | 1 ὡς οὗν ἔγνω ὁ ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ φαρισαῖοι ὅτι ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ ἰωάννης | |
2 (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples), | 2 _ καίτοιγε ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν ἀλλ᾽ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ _ | |
3 he left Judaea and went away again unto 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 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which 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 Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. 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 A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink | 7 ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, δός μοι πεῖν· | |
8 (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions). | 8 οἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσιν. | |
9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse 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 to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says 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 says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the 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 of it 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 to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again; | 13 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν· | |
14 but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into 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 says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw. | 15 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή, κύριε, δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ διέρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν. | |
16 Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here. | 16 λέγει αὐτῇ, ὕπαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε. | |
17 The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a 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 now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly. | 18 πέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας. | |
19 The woman says to him, Sir, I see 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 one must worship. | 20 οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόπος ὅπου προσκυνεῖν δεῖ. | |
21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem 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 ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews. | 22 ὑμεῖς προσκυνεῖτε ὃ οὐκ οἴδατε· ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦμεν ὃ οἴδαμεν, ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν ἰουδαίων ἐστίν. | |
23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as 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 who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth. | 24 πνεῦμα ὁ θεός, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν. | |
25 The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things. | 25 λέγει αὐτῶ ἡ γυνή, οἶδα ὅτι μεσσίας ἔρχεται, ὁ λεγόμενος χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα. | |
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he]. | 26 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐγώ εἰμι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι. | |
27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one 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 The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men, | 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 I had ever done: is not he 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 came to him. | 30 ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτόν. | |
31 But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat. | 31 ἐν τῶ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες, ῥαββί, φάγε. | |
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know. | 32 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε. | |
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him [anything] to eat? | 33 ἔλεγον οὗν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους, μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῶ φαγεῖν; | |
34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work. | 34 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιήσω τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον. | |
35 Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to 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 reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. | 36 ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων. | |
37 For in this is [verified] the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps. | 37 ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ἀληθινὸς ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σπείρων καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων. | |
38 I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours. | 38 ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε· ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν, καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε. | |
39 But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done. | 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 When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked 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 more a great deal believed on account of his word; | 41 καὶ πολλῶ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, | |
42 and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we 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 But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee, | 43 μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν· | |
44 for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country. | 44 αὐτὸς γὰρ ἰησοῦς ἐμαρτύρησεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ πατρίδι τιμὴν οὐκ ἔχει. | |
45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to 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 to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick. | 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 He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die. | 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 to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe. | 48 εἶπεν οὗν ὁ ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν, ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε. | |
49 The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die. | 49 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλικός, κύριε, κατάβηθι πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸ παιδίον μου. | |
50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and 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 But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought [him] word saying, Thy child lives. | 51 ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ καταβαίνοντος οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ ὑπήντησαν αὐτῶ λέγοντες ὅτι ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ζῇ. | |
52 He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. And they said to 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 The father therefore knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself 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 second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee. | 54 τοῦτο [δὲ] πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν. | |
