PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Ο Ιησούς λοιπόν προ εξ ημερών του πάσχα ήλθεν εις Βηθανίαν, όπου ήτο ο Λάζαρος ο αποθανών, τον οποίον ανέστησεν εκ νεκρών.
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
1 Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς πρὸ ἓξ ἡμερῶν τοῦ πάσχα ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν, ὅπου ἦν Λάζαρος ὁ τεθνηκώς, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
2 Και έκαμαν εις αυτόν δείπνον εκεί, και η Μάρθα υπηρέτει· ο δε Λάζαρος ήτο εις εκ των συγκαθημένων μετ' αυτού.
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
2 ἐποίησαν οὖν αὐτῷ δεῖπνον ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει· ὁ δὲ Λάζαρος εἷς ἦν τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ.
3 Τότε η Μαρία, λαβούσα μίαν λίτραν μύρου νάρδου καθαράς πολυτίμου, ήλειψε τους πόδας του Ιησού και με τας τρίχας αυτής εσπόγγισε τους πόδας αυτού· η δε οικία επλήσθη εκ της οσμής του μύρου.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
3 ἡ οὖν Μαρία, λαβοῦσα λίτραν μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτίμου, ἤλειψε τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐξέμαξε ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου.
4 Λέγει λοιπόν εις εκ των μαθητών αυτού, ο Ιούδας Σίμωνος ο Ισκαριώτης, όστις έμελλε να παραδώση αυτόν·
4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
4 λέγει οὖν εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, Ἰούδας Σίμωνος Ἰσκαριώτης, ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι·
5 Διά τι τούτο το μύρον δεν επωλήθη τριακόσια δηνάρια και εδόθη εις τους πτωχούς;
5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
5 διατί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς;
6 Είπε δε τούτο ουχί διότι έμελεν αυτόν περί των πτωχών, αλλά διότι ήτο κλέπτης και είχε το γλωσσόκομον και εβάσταζε τα βαλλόμενα εις αυτό.
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
6 εἶπε δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν, καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον εἶχε καὶ τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν.
7 Είπε λοιπόν ο Ιησούς· Άφες αυτήν, εις την ημέραν του ενταφιασμού μου εφύλαξεν αυτό.
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
7 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄφες αὐτήν, εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου τετήρηκεν αὐτό.
8 Διότι τους πτωχούς πάντοτε έχετε μεθ' εαυτών, εμέ όμως πάντοτε δεν έχετε.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
8 τοὺς πτωχοὺς γὰρ πάντοτε ἔχετε μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
9 Έμαθε δε όχλος πολύς εκ των Ιουδαίων ότι είναι εκεί, και ήλθον ουχί διά τον Ιησούν μόνον, αλλά διά να ίδωσι και τον Λάζαρον, τον οποίον ανέστησεν εκ νεκρών.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
9 Ἔγνω οὖν ὄχλος πολὺς ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστι, καὶ ἦλθον οὐ διὰ τὸν Ἰησοῦν μόνον, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἴδωσιν ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
10 Συνεβουλεύθησαν δε οι αρχιερείς, διά να θανατώσωσι και τον Λάζαρον,
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
10 ἐβουλεύσαντο δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἀποκτείνωσιν,
11 διότι πολλοί εκ των Ιουδαίων δι' αυτόν υπήγαινον και επίστευον εις τον Ιησούν.
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
11 ὅτι πολλοὶ δι᾽ αὐτὸν ὑπῆγον τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ ἐπίστευον εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
12 Τη επαύριον όχλος πολύς ο ελθών εις την εορτήν, ακούσαντες ότι έρχεται ο Ιησούς εις Ιεροσόλυμα,
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12 Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὄχλος πολὺς ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἔρχεται Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα,
13 έλαβον τα βαΐα των φοινίκων και εξήλθον εις υπάντησιν αυτού και έκραζον· Ωσαννά, ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος εν ονόματι Κυρίου, ο βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ.
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
13 ἔλαβον τὰ βαΐα τῶν φοινίκων καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔκραζον· ὡσαννά, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου, βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
14 Ευρών δε ο Ιησούς ονάριον, εκάθησεν επ' αυτό, καθώς είναι γεγραμμένον·
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
14 εὑρὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὀνάριον ἐκάθισεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό, καθώς ἐστι γεγραμμένον·
15 Μη φοβού, θύγατερ Σιών· ιδού, ο βασιλεύς σου έρχεται καθήμενος επί πώλου όνου.
15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
15 μὴ φοβοῦ, θύγατερ Σιών· ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεται καθήμενος ἐπὶ πῶλον ὄνου.
16 Ταύτα όμως δεν ενόησαν οι μαθηταί αυτού κατ' αρχάς, αλλ' ότε εδοξάσθη ο Ιησούς, τότε ενεθυμήθησαν ότι ταύτα ήσαν γεγραμμένα δι' αυτόν, και ταύτα έκαμον εις αυτόν.
16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
16 Ταῦτα δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρῶτον, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτε ἐδοξάσθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς, τότε ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ταῦτα ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ γεγραμμένα, καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ.
17 Εμαρτύρει λοιπόν ο όχλος, ο ων μετ' αυτού ότε εφώναξε τον Λάζαρον εκ του μνημείου και ανέστησεν αυτόν εκ νεκρών.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
17 Ἐμαρτύρει οὖν ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ὢν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅτε τὸν Λάζαρον ἐφώνησεν ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
18 Διά τούτο και υπήντησεν αυτόν ο όχλος, διότι ήκουσεν ότι έκαμε το θαύμα τούτο.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
18 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος, ὅτι ἤκουσαν τοῦτο αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι τὸ σημεῖον.
19 Οι Φαρισαίοι λοιπόν είπον προς αλλήλους· Βλέπετε ότι δεν ωφελείτε ουδέν; ιδού, ο κόσμος οπίσω αυτού υπήγεν.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
19 οἱ οὖν Φαρισαῖοι εἶπον πρὸς ἑαυτούς· θεωρεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ὠφελεῖτε οὐδέν; ἴδε ὁ κόσμος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν.
20 Ήσαν δε τινές Έλληνες μεταξύ των αναβαινόντων διά να προσκυνήσωσιν εν τη εορτή.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20 Ἦσαν δέ τινες Ἕλληνες ἐκ τῶν ἀναβαινόντων ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ.
21 Ούτοι λοιπόν ήλθον προς τον Φίλιππον τον από Βηθσαϊδά της Γαλιλαίας, και παρεκάλουν αυτόν, λέγοντες· Κύριε, θέλομεν να ίδωμεν τον Ιησούν.
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21 οὗτοι οὖν προσῆλθον Φιλίππῳ τῷ ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· κύριε, θέλομεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἰδεῖν.
22 Έρχεται ο Φίλιππος και λέγει προς τον Ανδρέαν, και πάλιν ο Ανδρέας και ο Φίλιππος λέγουσι προς τον Ιησούν.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
22 ἔρχεται Φίλιππος καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ, καὶ πάλιν Ἀνδρέας καὶ Φίλιππος λέγουσι τῷ Ἰησοῦ·
23 Ο δε Ιησούς απεκρίθη προς αυτούς λέγων· Ήλθεν η ώρα διά να δοξασθή ο Υιός του ανθρώπου.
23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
24 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, Εάν ο κόκκος του σίτου δεν πέση εις την γην και αποθάνη, αυτός μόνος μένει· εάν όμως αποθάνη, πολύν καρπόν φέρει.
24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνῃ, αὐτὸς μόνος μένει· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ, πολὺν καρπὸν φέρει.
25 Όστις αγαπά την ψυχήν αυτού, θέλει απολέση αυτήν, και όστις μισεί την ψυχήν αυτού εν τω κόσμω τούτω, εις ζωήν αιώνιον θέλει φυλάξει αυτήν.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
25 ὁ φιλῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὁ μισῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ, εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον φυλάξει αὐτήν.
26 Εάν εμέ υπηρετή τις, εμέ ας ακολουθή, και όπου είμαι εγώ, εκεί θέλει είσθαι και ο υπηρέτης ο εμός· και εάν τις εμέ υπηρετή, θέλει τιμήσει αυτόν ο Πατήρ.
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
26 ἐὰν ἐμοὶ διακονῇ τις, ἐμοὶ ἀκολουθείτω, καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ἐκεῖ καὶ ὁ διάκονος ὁ ἐμὸς ἔσται· καὶ ἐάν τις ἐμοὶ διακονῇ, τιμήσει αὐτὸν ὁ πατήρ.
27 Τώρα η ψυχή μου είναι τεταραγμένη· και τι να είπω; Πάτερ, σώσον με εκ της ώρας ταύτης. Αλλά διά τούτο ήλθον εις την ώραν ταύτην.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
27 Νῦν ἡ ψυχή μου τετάρακται, καὶ τί εἴπω; πάτερ, σῶσόν με ἐκ τῆς ὥρας ταύτης. ἀλλὰ διά τοῦτο ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ὥραν ταύτην.
28 Πάτερ, δόξασόν σου το όνομα. Ήλθε λοιπόν φωνή εκ του ουρανού· Και εδόξασα και πάλιν θέλω δοξάσει.
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
28 πάτερ, δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα. ἦλθεν οὖν φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἐδόξασα καὶ πάλιν δοξάσω.
29 Ο όχλος λοιπόν ο παρεστώς και ακούσας έλεγεν ότι έγεινε βροντή· άλλοι έλεγον· Άγγελος ελάλησε προς αυτόν.
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
29 ὁ οὖν ὄχλος ὁ ἑστὼς καὶ ἀκούσας ἔλεγε βροντὴν γεγονέναι· ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· ἄγγελος αὐτῷ λελάληκεν.
30 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπεν· Η φωνή αύτη δεν έγεινε δι' εμέ, αλλά διά σας.
30 Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
30 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ δι᾽ ἐμὲ αὕτη ἡ φωνὴ γέγονεν, ἀλλὰ δι᾽ ὑμᾶς.
31 Τώρα είναι κρίσις του κόσμου τούτου, τώρα ο άρχων του κόσμου τούτου θέλει εκβληθή έξω.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31 νῦν κρίσις ἐστὶ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, νῦν ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἐκβληθήσεται ἔξω·
32 Και εγώ εάν υψωθώ εκ της γης, θέλω ελκύσει πάντας προς εμαυτόν.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
32 κἀγὼ ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν.
33 Τούτο δε έλεγε, δεικνύων με ποίον θάνατον έμελλε να αποθάνη.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγε σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνήσκειν.
34 Απεκρίθη προς αυτόν ο όχλος· Ημείς ηκούσαμεν εκ του νόμου Ότι ο Χριστός μένει εις τον αιώνα, και πως συ λέγεις Ότι πρέπει να υψωθή ο Υιός του ανθρώπου; τις είναι ούτος ο Υιός του ανθρώπου;
34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος· ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ πῶς σὺ λέγεις, δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου;
35 Είπε λοιπόν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Έτι ολίγον καιρόν το φως είναι μεθ' υμών· περιπατείτε ενόσω έχετε το φως, διά να μη σας καταφθάση το σκότος· και όστις περιπατεί εν τω σκότει δεν εξεύρει που υπάγει.
35 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
35 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον τὸ φῶς μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἐστι· περιπατεῖτε ἕως τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ· καὶ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ οὐκ οἶδε ποῦ ὑπάγει.
36 Ενόσω έχετε το φως, πιστεύετε εις το φως, διά να γείνητε υιοί του φωτός. Ταύτα ελάλησεν ο Ιησούς, και απελθών εκρύφθη απ' αυτών.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
36 ἕως τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, πιστεύετε εἰς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα υἱοὶ φωτὸς γένησθε. Ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἐκρύβη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν.
37 Αλλ' ενώ έκαμε τόσα θαύματα έμπροσθεν αυτών, δεν επίστευον εις αυτόν·
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
37 Τοσαῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ σημεῖα πεποιηκότος ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν,
38 διά να πληρωθή ο λόγος του προφήτου Ησαΐου, τον οποίον είπε· Κύριε, τις επίστευσεν εις το κήρυγμα ημών; και ο βραχίων του Κυρίου εις τίνα απεκαλύφθη;
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38 ἵνα ὁ λόγος Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου πληρωθῇ ὃν εἶπε· Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσε τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν; καὶ ὁ βραχίων Κυρίου τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη;
39 Διά τούτο δεν ηδύναντο να πιστεύωσι διότι πάλιν είπεν ο Ησαΐας·
39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
39 διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιστεύειν, ὅτι πάλιν εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας·
40 Ετύφλωσε τους οφθαλμούς αυτών και εσκλήρυνε την καρδίαν αυτών, διά να μη ίδωσι με τους οφθαλμούς και νοήσωσι με την καρδίαν και επιστρέψωσι, και ιατρεύσω αυτούς.
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
40 τετύφλωκεν αὐτῶν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ πεπώρωκεν αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν, ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσι τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ νοήσωσι τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐπιστραφῶσι, καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.
41 Ταύτα είπεν ο Ησαΐας, ότε είδε την δόξαν αυτού και ελάλησε περί αυτού.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
41 ταῦτα εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας ὅτε εἶδε τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησε περὶ αὐτοῦ.
42 Αλλ' όμως και εκ των αρχόντων πολλοί επίστευσαν εις αυτόν, πλην διά τους Φαρισαίους δεν ώμολόγουν, διά να μη γείνωσιν αποσυνάγωγοι.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
42 ὅμως μέντοι καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς Φαρισαίους οὐχ ὡμολόγουν, ἵνα μὴ ἀποσυνάγωγοι γένωνται·
43 Διότι ηγάπησαν την δόξαν των ανθρώπων μάλλον παρά την δόξαν του Θεού.
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
43 ἠγάπησαν γὰρ τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
44 Ο δε Ιησούς έκραξε και είπεν· Ο πιστεύων εις εμέ δεν πιστεύει εις εμέ, αλλ' εις τον πέμψαντά με,
44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
44 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἔκραξε καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ πιστεύει εἰς ἐμέ, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὸν πέμψαντά με,
45 και ο θεωρών εμέ θεωρεί τον πέμψαντά με.
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
45 καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν ἐμὲ θεωρεῖ τὸν πέμψαντά με.
46 Εγώ ήλθον φως εις τον κόσμον, διά να μη μείνη εν τω σκότει πας ο πιστεύων εις εμέ.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
46 ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ.
47 Και εάν τις ακούση τους λόγους μου και δεν πιστεύση, εγώ δεν κρίνω αυτόν· διότι δεν ήλθον διά να κρίνω τον κόσμον, αλλά διά να σώσω τον κόσμον.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
47 καὶ ἐάν τίς μου ἀκούσῃ τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ μὴ πιστεύσῃ, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω αὐτόν· οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον ἵνα κρίνω τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα σώσω τὸν κόσμον.
48 Ο αθετών εμέ και μη δεχόμενος τους λόγους μου, έχει τον κρίνοντα αυτόν· ο λόγος, τον οποίον ελάλησα, εκείνος θέλει κρίνει αυτόν εν τη εσχάτη ημέρα·
48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
48 ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ καὶ μὴ λαμβάνων τὰ ῥήματά μου, ἔχει τὸν κρίνοντα αὐτόν· ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησα, ἐκεῖνος κρινεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ·
49 διότι εγώ απ' εμαυτού δεν ελάλησα, αλλ' ο πέμψας με Πατήρ αυτός μοι έδωκεν εντολήν τι να είπω και τι να λαλήσω·
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
49 ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλάλησα, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ αὐτός μοι ἐντολὴν ἔδωκε τί εἴπω καὶ τί λαλήσω·
50 και εξεύρω ότι η εντολή αυτού είναι ζωή αιώνιος. Όσα λοιπόν λαλώ εγώ, καθώς μοι είπεν ο Πατήρ, ούτω λαλώ.
50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
50 καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἡ ἐντολὴ αὐτοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιός ἐστιν. ἃ οὖν λαλῶ ἐγώ, καθὼς εἴρηκέ μοι ὁ πατήρ, οὕτω λαλῶ.

… again, was indicated when He said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death;" her fear by the words, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me;" and her perplexity, too, when He said, "And what I shall say, I know not."
For there is yet a little light in men; let them walk--let them "walk," that the "darkness" seize them not.
