Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ας μη ταράττηται η καρδία σας· πιστεύετε εις τον Θεόν, και εις εμέ πιστεύετε.
1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
2 Εν τη οικία του Πατρός μου είναι πολλά οικήματα· ει δε μη, ήθελον σας ειπεί· υπάγω να σας ετοιμάσω τόπον·
2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 και αφού υπάγω και σας ετοιμάσω τόπον, πάλιν έρχομαι και θέλω σας παραλάβει προς εμαυτόν, διά να είσθε και σεις, όπου είμαι εγώ.
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
4 Και όπου εγώ υπάγω εξεύρετε, και την οδόν εξεύρετε.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Θωμάς· Κύριε, δεν εξεύρομεν που υπάγεις· και πως δυνάμεθα να εξεύρωμεν την οδόν;
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Εγώ είμαι η οδός και η αλήθεια και η ζωή· ουδείς έρχεται προς τον Πατέρα, ειμή δι' εμού.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
7 Εάν εγνωρίζετε εμέ, και τον Πατέρα μου ηθέλετε γνωρίσει. Και από του νυν γνωρίζετε αυτόν και είδετε αυτόν.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
8 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Φίλιππος· Κύριε, δείξον εις ημάς τον Πατέρα και αρκεί εις ημάς.
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
9 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Τόσον καιρόν είμαι μεθ' υμών, και δεν με εγνώρισας, Φίλιππε; όστις είδεν εμέ είδε τον Πατέρα· και πως συ λέγεις, Δείξον εις ημάς τον Πατέρα;
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Δεν πιστεύεις ότι εγώ είμαι εν τω Πατρί και ο Πατήρ είναι εν εμοί; τους λόγους, τους οποίους εγώ λαλώ προς υμάς, απ' εμαυτού δεν λαλώ· αλλ' ο Πατήρ ο μένων εν εμοί αυτός εκτελεί τα έργα.
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
11 Πιστεύετέ μοι ότι εγώ είμαι εν τω Πατρί και ο Πατήρ είναι εν εμοί· ει δε μη, διά τα έργα αυτά πιστεύετέ μοι.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, όστις πιστεύει εις εμέ, τα έργα τα οποία κάμνω και εκείνος θέλει κάμει, και μεγαλήτερα τούτων θέλει κάμει, διότι εγώ υπάγω προς τον Πατέρα μου,
12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 και ό,τι αν ζητήσητε εν τω ονόματί μου, θέλω κάμει τούτο, διά να δοξασθή ο Πατήρ εν τω Υιώ.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Εάν ζητήσητέ τι εν τω ονόματί μου, εγώ θέλω κάμει αυτό.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 Εάν με αγαπάτε, τας εντολάς μου φυλάξατε.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Και εγώ θέλω παρακαλέσει τον Πατέρα, και θέλει σας δώσει άλλον Παράκλητον, διά να μένη μεθ' υμών εις τον αιώνα,
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:
17 το Πνεύμα της αληθείας, το οποίον ο κόσμος δεν δύναται να λάβη, διότι δεν βλέπει αυτό ουδέ γνωρίζει αυτό· σεις όμως γνωρίζετε αυτό, διότι μένει μεθ' υμών και εν υμίν θέλει είσθαι.
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
18 Δεν θέλω σας αφήσει ορφανούς· έρχομαι προς εσάς.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Έτι ολίγον και ο κόσμος πλέον δεν με βλέπει, σεις όμως με βλέπετε, διότι εγώ ζω και σεις θέλετε ζη.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα σεις θέλετε γνωρίσει, ότι εγώ είμαι εν τω Πατρί μου και σεις εν εμοί και εγώ εν υμίν.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Ο έχων τας εντολάς μου και φυλάττων αυτάς, εκείνος είναι ο αγαπών με· ο δε αγαπών με θέλει αγαπηθή υπό του Πατρός μου, και εγώ θέλω αγαπήσει αυτόν και θέλω φανερώσει εμαυτόν εις αυτόν.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιούδας, ουχί ο Ισκαριώτης· Κύριε, τι συμβαίνει ότι μέλλεις να φανερώσης σεαυτόν εις ημάς και ουχί εις τον κόσμον;
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτόν· Εάν τις με αγαπά, τον λόγον μου θέλει φυλάξει, και ο Πατήρ μου θέλει αγαπήσει αυτόν, και προς αυτόν θέλομεν ελθεί και εν αυτώ θέλομεν κατοικήσει.
23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Ο μη αγαπών με τους λόγους μου δεν φυλάττει· και ο λόγος, τον οποίον ακούετε, δεν είναι ιδικός μου, αλλά του πέμψαντός με Πατρός.
24 He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 Ταύτα ελάλησα προς εσάς ενώ ευρίσκομαι μεθ' υμών·
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
26 ο δε Παράκλητος, το Πνεύμα το Άγιον, το οποίον θέλει πέμψει ο Πατήρ εν τω ονόματί μου, εκείνος θέλει σας διδάξει πάντα και θέλει σας υπενθυμίσει πάντα όσα είπον προς εσάς.
26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
27 Ειρήνην αφίνω εις εσάς, ειρήνην την εμήν δίδω εις εσάς· ουχί καθώς ο κόσμος δίδει, σας δίδω εγώ. Ας μη ταράττηται η καρδία σας μηδέ ας δειλιά.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
28 Ηκούσατε ότι εγώ σας είπον, Υπάγω και έρχομαι προς εσάς. Εάν με ηγαπάτε, ηθέλετε χαρή ότι είπον, Υπάγω προς τον Πατέρα· διότι ο Πατήρ μου είναι μεγαλήτερός μου·
28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
29 και τώρα σας είπον πριν γείνη, διά να πιστεύσητε όταν γείνη.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
30 Δεν θέλω πλέον λαλήσει πολλά μεθ' υμών· διότι έρχεται ο άρχων του κόσμου τούτου· και δεν έχει ουδέν εν εμοί.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
31 Αλλά διά να γνωρίση ο κόσμος ότι αγαπώ τον Πατέρα, και καθώς με προσέταξεν ο Πατήρ, ούτω κάμνω. Εγέρθητε, ας υπάγωμεν εντεύθεν.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.

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).
Amongst other things, when the Holy Gospel was being read, ye heard what the Lord Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life." Truth and life doth every man desire; but not every man doth find the way.

We have now the opportunity, dearly, beloved, as far as we can, of understanding the earlier words of the Lord from the later, and His previous statements by those that follow, in what you have heard was His answer to the question of the Apostle Thomas.

The Prophet said to the Jews, "Thou hadst the countenance of a harlot, thou wert shameless towards all men." ( Jer. iii. 3, LXX.) Now it seems fitting to use this expression not only against that city, but against all who shamelessly set their faces against the truth.

… He might come under the apprehension of man's senses, and having in Himself these six and twenty-four letters), then, becoming acquainted with Him, they ceased from their ignorance, and passed from death unto life, this name serving as their guide to the Father of truth. For the Father of all had resolved to put an end to ignorance, and to …
… strength sufficient to enjoy Thee; but I found it not until I embraced that "Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus," "who is over all, God blessed for ever," calling unto me, and saying, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," and mingling that food which I was unable to receive with our flesh.
