PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Y había un hombre de los Phariséos, llamado Nicodemo, Príncipe de los Judíos.
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1 Ἦν δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων, Νικόδημος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, ἄρχων τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
2 Este vino á Jesús de noche, y le dixo: Rabbí, sabemos, que eres Maestro venido de Dios: porque ninguno puede hacer estos milagros, que tú haces, si Dios no estuviere con él.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
2 οὗτος ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ῥαββί, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀπὸ Θεοῦ ἐλήλυθας διδάσκαλος· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ σημεῖα δύναται ποιεῖν ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ Θεὸς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
3 Jesús respondió, y le dixo: En verdad, en verdad te digo, que no puede ver el reyno de Dios, sino aquel que renaciere de nuevo.
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
3 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν, οὐ δύναται ἰδεῖν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
4 Nicodemo le dixo: ¿Cómo puede un hombre nacer, siendo viejo? ¿por ventura puede volver al vientre de su madre, y nacer otra vez?
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
4 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Νικόδημος· πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι γέρων ὤν; μὴ δύναται εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ δεύτερον εἰσελθεῖν καὶ γεννηθῆναι;
5 Jesús respondió: En verdad, en verdad te digo, que no puede entrar en el reyno de Dios, sino aquel que fuere renacido de agua y de Espíritu Santo.
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
5 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ Πνεύματος, οὐ δύναται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
6 Lo que es nacido de carne, carne es: y lo que es nacido de espíritu, espíritu es.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6 τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς σάρξ ἐστι, καὶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος πνεῦμά ἐστι.
7 No te maravilles, porque te dixe: os es necesario nacer otra vez.
7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
7 μὴ θαυμάσῃς ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, δεῖ ὑμᾶς γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν.
8 El espíritu dónde quiere sopla: y oyes su voz, mas no sabes de dónde viene, ni á dónde vá: asi es todo aquel que es nacido de espíritu.
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
8 τὸ πνεῦμα ὅπου θέλει πνεῖ, καὶ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀκούεις, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ οἶδας πόθεν ἔρχεται καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγει· οὕτως ἐστὶ πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος.
9 Respondió Nicodemo, y le dixo: ¿Cómo puede hacerse esto?
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
9 ἀπεκρίθη Νικόδημος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· πῶς δύναται ταῦτα γενέσθαι;
10 Respondió Jesús, y le dixo: ¿Tú eres Maestro en Israél, y esto ignoras?
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
10 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ταῦτα οὐ γινώσκεις;
11 En verdad, en verdad te digo, que lo que sabemos, eso hablamos, y lo que hemos visto, atestiguamos, y no recibís nuestro testimonio.
11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
11 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτι ὃ οἴδαμεν λαλοῦμεν καὶ ὃ ἑωράκαμεν μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἡμῶν οὐ λαμβάνετε.
12 Si os he dicho cosas terrenas, y no las creéis: ¿Cómo creeréis, si os dixera las celestiales?
12 If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
12 εἰ τὰ ἐπίγεια εἶπον ὑμῖν καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε, πῶς ἐὰν εἴπω ὑμῖν τὰ ἐπουράνια πιστεύσετε;
13 Y ninguno subio al Cielo, sino el que descendió del Cielo, el Hijo del hombre, que está en el Cielo.
13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
13 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναβέβηκεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁ ὢν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ.
14 Y como Moysés levantó la serpiente en el desierto; así también es necesario, que sea levantado el Hijo del hombre:
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
14 καὶ καθὼς Μωϋσῆς ὕψωσε τὸν ὄφιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὕτως ὑψωθῆναι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου,
15 Para que todo aquel que cree en él, no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna.
15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15 ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται, ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
16 Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que dió á su Hijo Unigénito: para que todo aquel que cree en él no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 οὕτω γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται, ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
17 Porque no envió Dios su Hijo al mundo para juzgar al mundo, sino para que el mundo se salve por él.
17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
17 οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα κρίνῃ τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα σωθῇ ὁ κόσμος δι᾽ αὐτοῦ.
18 Quien en él cree, no es juzgado: mas el que no cree, ya ha sido juzgado: porque no cree en el nombre del Unigénito Hijo de Dios.
18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
18 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν οὐ κρίνεται, ὁ δὲ μὴ πιστεύων ἤδη κέκριται, ὅτι μὴ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ μονογενοῦς υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
19 Mas éste es el juicio: que la luz vino al mundo, y los hombres amáron mas las tinieblas, que la luz: porque sus obras eran malas.
19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
19 αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ κρίσις, ὅτι τὸ φῶς ἐλήλυθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, καὶ ἠγάπησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι μᾶλλον τὸ σκότος ἢ τὸ φῶς· ἦν γὰρ πονηρὰ αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα.
20 Porque todo hombre, que obra mal, aborrece la luz, y no viene á la luz, para que sus obras no sean reprehendidas:
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
20 πᾶς γὰρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τὸ φῶς καὶ οὐκ ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·
21 Mas el que obra verdad, viene á la luz, para que parezcan sus obras, porque son hechas en Dios.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
21 ὁ δὲ ποιῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα φανερωθῇ αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ἐν Θεῷ ἐστιν εἰργασμένα.
22 Despues de esto vino Jesús con sus discípulos á la tierra de Judéa y allí se estaba con ellos, y bautizaba.
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
22 Μετὰ ταῦτα ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν γῆν, καὶ ἐκεῖ διέτριβε μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐβάπτιζεν.
23 Y Juan bautizaba también en Ennón junto á Salím: porque había allí muchas aguas; y venían, y eran bautizados allí.
23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
23 ἦν δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν Αἰνὼν ἐγγὺς τοῦ Σαλείμ, ὅτι ὕδατα πολλὰ ἦν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεγίνοντο καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο·
24 Porque Juan aún no había sido puesto en la cárcel.
24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.
24 οὔπω γὰρ ἦν βεβλημένος εἰς τὴν φυλακὴν ὁ Ἰωάννης.
25 Y se movió una qüestion entre los discípulos de Juan y los Judíos acerca de la purificación.
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
25 Ἐγένετο οὖν ζήτησις ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν Ἰωάννου μετὰ Ἰουδαίου περὶ καθαρισμοῦ.
26 Y fuéron á Juan, y le dixéron: Maestro, el que estaba contigo de la otra parte del Jordan, de quien tú diste testimonio, mira que él bautiza, y todos vienen á él.
26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
26 καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ῥαββί, ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας, ἴδε οὗτος βαπτίζει καὶ πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν.
27 Respondió Juan, y dixo: No puede el hombre recibir algo, si no le fuere dado del Cielo.
27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
27 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωάννης καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ δύναται ἄνθρωπος λαμβάνειν οὐδέν, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ δεδομένον αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
28 Vosotros mismos me sois testigos de que dixe: Yo no soy el Christo, sino que soy enviado delante de él.
28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
28 αὐτοὶ ὑμεῖς μοι μαρτυρεῖτε ὅτι εἶπον· οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὁ Χριστός, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἀπεσταλμένος εἰμὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐκείνου.
29 El que tiene la Esposa, es el Esposo: mas el amigo del Esposo, que está con él, y le oye, se llena de gózo con la voz del Esposo. Así pues éste mi gózo es cumplido.
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
29 ὁ ἔχων τὴν νύμφην νυμφίος ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ φίλος τοῦ νυμφίου, ὁ ἑστηκὼς καὶ ἀκούων αὐτοῦ, χαρᾷ χαίρει διὰ τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ νυμφίου. αὕτη οὖν ἡ χαρὰ ἡ ἐμὴ πεπλήρωται.
30 Es necesario que él crezca, y que yo mengüe.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
30 ἐκεῖνον δεῖ αὐξάνειν, ἐμὲ δὲ ἐλαττοῦσθαι.
31 El que de arriba viene, sobre todos es. El que es de la tierra, terreno es, y de la tierra habla: El que viene del Cielo, sobre todos es.
31 “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
31 ὁ ἄνωθεν ἐρχόμενος ἐπάνω πάντων ἐστίν. ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐστι καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς λαλεῖ· ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐρχόμενος ἐπάνω πάντων ἐστί,
32 Y lo que vió, y oyó, eso testifica: y nadie recibe su testimonio.
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32 καὶ ὃ ἑώρακε καὶ ἤκουσε, τοῦτο μαρτυρεῖ, καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν αὐτοῦ οὐδεὶς λαμβάνει.
33 El que ha recibido su testimonio, confirmó que Dios es verdadero.
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33 ὁ λαβὼν αὐτοῦ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐσφράγισεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἀληθής ἐστιν.
34 Porque el que Dios envió, las palabras de Dios habla: porque Dios no le da el espíritu por medida.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
34 ὃν γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεός, τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ λαλεῖ· οὐ γὰρ ἐκ μέτρου δίδωσιν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ Πνεῦμα.
35 El Padre ama al Hijo y todas las cosas puso en sus manos.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
35 ὁ πατὴρ ἀγαπᾷ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ πάντα δέδωκεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
36 El que cree en el Hijo, tiene vida eterna: mas el que no dá crédito al Hijo, no verá la vida, sino que la ira de Dios está sobre él.
36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
36 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς τὸν υἱὸν ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον· ὁ δὲ ἀπειθῶν τῷ υἱῷ οὐκ ὄψεται ζωήν, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We observe, beloved, that the intimation with which we yesterday excited your attention has brought you together with more alacrity, and in greater number than usual; but meanwhile let us, if you please, pay our debt of a discourse on the Gospel Lesson, which comes in due course.

Little children who go daily to their teachers receive their lessons, and repeat them, and never cease from this kind of acquisition, but sometimes employ nights as well as days, and this they are compelled to do for perishable and transient things.

For Christ also said, "Except ye be born again, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Now, that it is impossible for those who have once been born to enter into their mothers' wombs, is manifest to all.
… that men can be saved in no other way from the old wound of the serpent than by believing in Him who, in the likeness of sinful flesh, is lifted up from the earth upon the tree of martyrdom, and draws all things to Himself, and vivifies the dead.
These I directed, O sweet Truth, to Thy inward melody, pondering on the "fair and fit," and longing to stay and listen to Thee, and to rejoice greatly at the Bridegroom's voice, and I could not; for by the voices of my own errors was I driven forth, and by the weight of my own pride was I sinking into …
