PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Καθώς λοιπόν έμαθεν ο Κύριος ότι ήκουσαν οι Φαρισαίοι ότι ο Ιησούς πλειοτέρους μαθητάς κάμνει και βαπτίζει παρά ο Ιωάννης-
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
1 Ὡς οὖν ἔγνω ὁ Κύριος ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὅτι Ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ Ἰωάννης —
2 αν και ο Ιησούς αυτός δεν εβάπτιζεν, αλλ' οι μαθηταί αυτού-
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
2 καίτοιγε Ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ —
3 αφήκε την Ιουδαίαν και απήλθε πάλιν εις την Γαλιλαίαν.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
3 ἀφῆκε τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.
4 Έπρεπε δε να περάση διά της Σαμαρείας.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
4 Ἔδει δὲ αὐτὸν διέρχεσθαι διὰ τῆς Σαμαρείας.
5 Έρχεται λοιπόν εις πόλιν της Σαμαρείας λεγομένην Σιχάρ, πλησίον του αγρού, τον οποίον έδωκεν ο Ιακώβ εις τον Ιωσήφ τον υιόν αυτού.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
5 ἔρχεται οὖν εἰς πόλιν τῆς Σαμαρείας λεγομένην Συχάρ, πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν Ἰακὼβ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ·
6 Ήτο δε εκεί πηγή του Ιακώβ. Ο Ιησούς λοιπόν κεκοπιακώς εκ της οδοιπορίας εκάθητο ούτως εις την πηγήν. Ώρα ήτο περίπου έκτη.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
6 ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ Ἰακώβ. ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ· ὥρα ἦν ὡσεὶ ἕκτη.
7 Έρχεται γυνή τις εκ της Σαμαρείας, διά να αντλήση ύδωρ. Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Δος μοι να πίω.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
7 ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς Σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· δός μοι πιεῖν.
8 Διότι οι μαθηταί αυτού είχον υπάγει εις την πόλιν, διά να αγοράσωσι τροφάς.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
8 οἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσι.
9 Λέγει λοιπόν προς αυτόν η γυνή η Σαμαρείτις· Πως συ, Ιουδαίος ων, ζητείς να πίης παρ' εμού, ήτις είμαι γυνή Σαμαρείτις; Διότι δεν συγκοινωνούσιν οι Ιουδαίοι με τους Σαμαρείτας.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
9 λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Σαμαρεῖτις· πῶς σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ πιεῖν αἰτεῖς, οὔσης γυναικὸς Σαμαρείτιδος; οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται Ἰουδαῖοι Σαμαρείταις.
10 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτήν· Εάν ήξευρες την δωρεάν του Θεού, και τις είναι ο λέγων σοι, Δος μοι να πίω, συ ήθελες ζητήσει παρ' αυτού, και ήθελε σοι δώσει ύδωρ ζων.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
10 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι, δός μοι πιεῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτόν, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν.
11 Λέγει προς αυτόν η γυνή· Κύριε, ούτε άντλημα έχεις, και το φρέαρ είναι βαθύ· πόθεν λοιπόν έχεις το ύδωρ το ζων;
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
11 λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, οὔτε ἄντλημα ἔχεις, καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶ βαθύ· πόθεν οὖν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν;
12 μήπως συ είσαι μεγαλήτερος του πατρός ημών Ιακώβ, όστις έδωκεν εις ημάς το φρέαρ, και αυτός έπιεν εξ αυτού και οι υιοί αυτού και τα θρέμματα αυτού;
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
12 μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἰακώβ, ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν τὸ φρέαρ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιε καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ;
13 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτήν· Πας όστις πίνει εκ του ύδατος τούτου θέλει διψήσει πάλιν·
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
13 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν·
14 όστις όμως πίη εκ του ύδατος, το οποίον εγώ θέλω δώσει εις αυτόν, δεν θέλει διψήσει εις τον αιώνα, αλλά το ύδωρ, το οποίον θέλω δώσει εις αυτόν, θέλει γείνει εν αυτώ πηγή ύδατος αναβλύζοντος εις ζωήν αιώνιον.
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
14 ὃς δ᾽ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ, οὐ μὴ διψήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῷ, γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
15 Λέγει προς αυτόν η γυνή· Κύριε, δος μοι τούτο το ύδωρ, διά να μη διψώ μηδέ να έρχωμαι εδώ να αντλώ.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
15 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ ἔρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν.
16 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Ύπαγε, κάλεσον τον άνδρα σου και ελθέ εδώ.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
16 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὕπαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε.
17 Απεκρίθη η γυνή και είπε· Δεν έχω άνδρα. Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Καλώς είπας ότι δεν έχω άνδρα·
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
17 ἀπεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· καλῶς εἶπας ὅτι ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω·
18 διότι πέντε άνδρας έλαβες, και εκείνος, τον οποίον έχεις τώρα, δεν είναι ανήρ σου· τούτο αληθές είπας.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
18 πέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστι σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας.
19 Λέγει προς αυτόν η γυνή· Κύριε, βλέπω ότι συ είσαι προφήτης.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
19 λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, θεωρῶ ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ.
20 Οι πατέρες ημών εις τούτο το όρος προσεκύνησαν, και σεις λέγετε ότι εν τοις Ιεροσολύμοις είναι ο τόπος όπου πρέπει να προσκυνώμεν.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
20 οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόπος ὅπου δεῖ προσκυνεῖν.
21 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Γύναι, πίστευσόν μοι ότι έρχεται ώρα, ότε ούτε εις το όρος τούτο ούτε εις τα Ιεροσόλυμα θέλετε προσκυνήσει τον Πατέρα.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
21 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· γύναι, πίστευσόν μοι ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις προσκυνήσετε τῷ πατρί.
22 Σεις προσκυνείτε εκείνο το οποίον δεν εξεύρετε, ημείς προσκυνούμεν εκείνο το οποίον εξεύρομεν, διότι η σωτηρία είναι εκ των Ιουδαίων.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. 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 Πλην έρχεται ώρα, και ήδη είναι, ότε οι αληθινοί προσκυνηταί θέλουσι προσκυνήσει τον Πατέρα εν πνεύματι και αληθεία· διότι ο Πατήρ τοιούτους ζητεί τους προσκυνούντας αυτόν.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
23 ἀλλ᾽ ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσι τῷ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν.
24 Ο Θεός είναι Πνεύμα, και οι προσκυνούντες αυτόν εν πνεύματι και αληθεία πρέπει να προσκυνώσι.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
24 πνεῦμα ὁ Θεός, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν.
25 Λέγει προς αυτόν η γυνή· Εξεύρω ότι έρχεται ο Μεσσίας, ο λεγόμενος Χριστός· όταν έλθη εκείνος, θέλει αναγγείλει εις ημάς πάντα.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
25 λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· οἶδα ὅτι Μεσσίας ἔρχεται ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν πάντα.
26 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Εγώ είμαι, ο λαλών σοι.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
26 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ λαλῶν σοι.
27 Και επάνω εις τούτο ήλθον οι μαθηταί αυτού και εθαύμασαν ότι ελάλει μετά γυναικός· ουδείς όμως είπε, Τι ζητείς; ή Τι λαλείς μετ' αυτής;
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
27 καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἦλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει· οὐδεὶς μέντοι εἶπε, τί ζητεῖς ἢ τί λαλεῖς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς;
28 Αφήκε λοιπόν η γυνή την υδρίαν αυτής και υπήγεν εις την πόλιν και λέγει προς τους ανθρώπους·
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
28 Ἀφῆκεν οὖν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις·
29 Έλθετε να ίδητε άνθρωπον, όστις μοι είπε πάντα όσα έπραξα· μήπως ούτος είναι ο Χριστός;
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
29 δεῦτε ἴδετε ἄνθρωπον ὃς εἶπέ μοι πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα· μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός;
30 Εξήλθον λοιπόν εκ της πόλεως και ήρχοντο προς αυτόν.
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
30 ἐξῆλθον [οὖν] ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτόν.
31 Εν δε τω μεταξύ οι μαθηταί παρεκάλουν αυτόν λέγοντες· Ραββί, φάγε.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
31 Ἐν δὲ τῷ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες· ῥαββί, φάγε.
32 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς. Εγώ έχω φαγητόν να φάγω, το οποίον σεις δεν εξεύρετε.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
32 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν, ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε.
33 Έλεγον λοιπόν οι μαθηταί προς αλλήλους· Μήπως τις έφερε προς αυτόν να φάγη;
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
33 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους· μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῷ φαγεῖν;
34 Λέγει προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Το εμόν φαγητόν είναι να πράττω το θέλημα του πέμψαντός με και να τελειώσω το έργον αυτού.
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
34 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιῶ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον.
35 Δεν λέγετε σεις ότι τέσσαρες μήνες είναι έτι και ο θερισμός έρχεται; Ιδού, σας λέγω, υψώσατε τους οφθαλμούς σας και ίδετε τα χωράφια, ότι είναι ήδη λευκά προς θερισμόν.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
35 οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστι καὶ ὁ θερισμὸς ἔρχεται; ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐπάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας, ὅτι λευκαί εἰσι πρὸς θερισμὸν ἤδη.
36 Και ο θερίζων λαμβάνει μισθόν και συνάγει καρπόν εις ζωήν αιώνιον, διά να χαίρη ομού και ο σπείρων και ο θερίζων.
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
36 καὶ ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα καὶ ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων.
37 Διότι κατά τούτο αληθεύει ο λόγος, ότι άλλος είναι ο σπείρων και άλλος ο θερίζων.
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
37 ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ὁ ἀληθινός, ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σπείρων καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων.
38 Εγώ σας απέστειλα να θερίζητε εκείνο, εις το οποίον σεις δεν εκοπιάσατε· άλλοι εκοπίασαν, και σεις εισήλθετε εις τον κόπον αυτών.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
38 ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε· ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασι, καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε.
39 Εξ εκείνης δε της πόλεως πολλοί των Σαμαρειτών επίστευσαν εις αυτόν διά τον λόγον της γυναικός, μαρτυρούσης ότι μοι είπε πάντα όσα έπραξα.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
39 Ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν Σαμαρειτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικός, μαρτυρούσης ὅτι εἶπέ μοι πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα.
40 Καθώς λοιπόν ήλθον προς αυτόν οι Σαμαρείται, παρεκάλουν αυτόν να μείνη παρ' αυτοίς· και έμεινεν εκεί δύο ημέρας.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
40 ὡς οὖν ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Σαμαρεῖται, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν μεῖναι παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡμέρας.
41 Και πολύ πλειότεροι επίστευσαν διά τον λόγον αυτού,
41 Many more believed because of his word.
41 καὶ πολλῷ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ,
42 και προς την γυναίκα έλεγον, ότι δεν πιστεύομεν πλέον διά τον λόγον σου· επειδή ημείς ηκούσαμεν, και γνωρίζομεν ότι ούτος είναι αληθώς ο Σωτήρ του κόσμου, ο Χριστός.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
42 τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν πιστεύομεν· αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου ὁ Χριστός.
43 Μετά δε τας δύο ημέρας εξήλθεν εκείθεν και υπήγεν εις την Γαλιλαίαν.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
43 Μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.
44 Διότι αυτός ο Ιησούς εμαρτύρησεν ότι προφήτης εν τη πατρίδι αυτού δεν έχει τιμήν.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
44 αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐμαρτύρησεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ πατρίδι τιμὴν οὐκ ἔχει.
45 Ότε λοιπόν ήλθεν εις την Γαλιλαίαν, εδέχθησαν αυτόν οι Γαλιλαίοι, ιδόντες πάντα όσα έκαμεν εν Ιεροσολύμοις κατά την εορτήν· διότι και αυτοί ήλθον εις την εορτήν.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
45 ὅτε οὖν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, ἐδέξαντο αὐτὸν οἱ Γαλιλαῖοι, πάντα ἑωρακότες ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ· καὶ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν.
46 Ήλθε λοιπόν ο Ιησούς πάλιν εις την Κανά της Γαλιλαίας, όπου έκαμε το ύδωρ οίνον. Και ήτο τις βασιλικός άνθρωπος, του οποίου ο υιός ησθένει εν Καπερναούμ·
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
46 Ἦλθεν οὖν πάλιν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Κανᾶ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ὅπου ἐποίησε τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον. καὶ ἦν τις βασιλικός, οὗ ὁ υἱὸς ἠσθένει ἐν Καπερναούμ·
47 ούτος ακούσας ότι ο Ιησούς ήλθεν εκ της Ιουδαίας εις την Γαλιλαίαν, υπήγε προς αυτόν και παρεκάλει αυτόν να καταβή και να ιατρεύση τον υιόν αυτού· διότι έμελλε να αποθάνη.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
47 οὗτος ἀκούσας ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἥκει ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, ἀπῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ἵνα καταβῇ καὶ ἰάσηται αὐτοῦ τὸν υἱόν· ἤμελλε γὰρ ἀποθνήσκειν.
48 Είπε λοιπόν ο Ιησούς προς αυτόν· Εάν δεν ίδητε σημεία και τέρατα, δεν θέλετε πιστεύσει.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
48 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε.
49 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο βασιλικός· Κύριε, κατάβα πριν αποθάνη το παιδίον μου.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
49 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλικός· Κύριε, κατάβηθι πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸ παιδίον μου.
50 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Ύπαγε, ο υιός σου ζη. Και επίστευσεν ο άνθρωπος εις τον λόγον, τον οποίον είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς, και ανεχώρει.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
50 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πορεύου· ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ. καὶ ἐπίστευσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐπορεύετο.
51 Ενώ δε ούτος ήδη κατέβαινεν, απήντησαν αυτόν οι δούλοι αυτού και απήγγειλαν λέγοντες ότι ο υιός σου ζη.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
51 ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ καταβαίνοντος οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν λέγοντες ὅτι ὁ παῖς σου ζῇ.
52 Ηρώτησε λοιπόν αυτούς την ώραν, καθ' ην έγεινε καλήτερα. Και είπον προς αυτόν ότι Χθες την εβδόμην ώραν αφήκεν αυτόν ο πυρετός.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
52 ἐπύθετο οὖν παρ᾽ αὐτῶν τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ κομψότερον ἔσχε. καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ ὅτι χθὲς ὥραν ἑβδόμην ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ὁ πυρετός.
53 Ενόησε λοιπόν ο πατήρ ότι έγεινε τούτο κατ' εκείνην την ώραν, καθ' ην ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν ότι Ο υιός σου ζή· και επίστευσεν αυτός και όλη η οικία αυτού.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
53 ἔγνω οὖν ὁ πατὴρ ὅτι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐν ᾗ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ· καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ὅλη.
54 Τούτο πάλιν δεύτερον θαύμα έκαμεν ο Ιησούς, αφού ήλθεν εκ της Ιουδαίας εις την Γαλιλαίαν.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
54 Τοῦτο πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.

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).

Afterwards He went up, the second time, to observe the festival day of the passover in Jerusalem; on …
… out more frequent prayers and tears, that Thou wouldest hasten Thy aid, and enlighten my darkness; and she hurried all the more assiduously to the church, and hung upon the words of Ambrose, praying for the fountain of water that springeth up into everlasting life. For she loved that man as an angel of God, because she knew that it …

He, for example, who is set down in John, is for dragging Him unto his house, and saith, "Come down, for my child is ready to die." But not so this man; rather he is far superior both to him, and to those who let down the bed through the roof.
