PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν·
2◆ Και την αυγήν ήλθε πάλιν εις το ιερόν, και πας ο λαός ήρχετο προς αυτόν· και καθήσας εδίδασκεν αυτούς.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
2 ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
3◆ Φέρουσι δε προς αυτόν οι γραμματείς και οι Φαρισαίοι γυναίκα συλληφθείσαν επί μοιχεία, και στήσαντες αυτήν εν τω μέσω,
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
3 ἄγουσι δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι γυναῖκα ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ κατειλημμένην, καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
4 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπ᾽ αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη·
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
5 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ἡμῶν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθάζειν.
6◆ Έλεγον δε τούτο δοκιμάζοντες αυτόν, διά να έχωσι ίνα κατηγορώσιν αυτόν. Ο δε Ιησούς κύψας κάτω, έγραφε διά του δακτύλου εις την γην.
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
6 σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; τοῦτο δὲ εἶπον ἐκπειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα σχῶσι κατηγορίαν κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
7◆ Και επειδή επέμενον ερωτώντες αυτόν, ανακύψας είπε προς αυτούς· Όστις από σας είναι αναμάρτητος, πρώτος ας ρίψη τον λίθον επ' αυτήν.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
7 ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, ἀνέκυψε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος βαλέτω λίθον ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
8 καὶ πάλιν κάτω κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
9◆ Εκείνοι δε ακούσαντες, και υπό της συνειδήσεως ελεγχόμενοι, εξήρχοντο εις έκαστος, αρχίσαντες από των πρεσβυτέρων έως των εσχάτων· και έμεινε μόνος ο Ιησούς και η γυνή ισταμένη εν τω μέσω.
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
9 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ᾽ εἷς, ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ κατελείφθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ οὖσα.
10◆ Ανακύψας δε ο Ιησούς, είπε προς αυτήν· Γύναι, που είναι εκείνοι οι κατήγοροί σου; δεν σε κατεδίκασεν ουδείς;
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
10 ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν;
11◆ Και εκείνη είπεν· Ουδείς, Κύριε. Και ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτήν· Ουδέ εγώ σε καταδικάζω· ύπαγε, και εις το εξής μη αμάρτανε.
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
11 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· οὐδείς, Κύριε. εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε».
12 Πάλιν λοιπόν ο Ιησούς ελάλησε προς αυτούς λέγων· Εγώ είμαι το φως του κόσμου· όστις ακολουθεί εμέ δεν θέλει περιπατήσει εις το σκότος, αλλά θέλει έχει το φως της ζωής.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
12 Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησε λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
13 Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν οι Φαρισαίοι· Συ περί σεαυτού μαρτυρείς· η μαρτυρία σου δεν είναι αληθής.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
13 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
14 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτούς· Και αν εγώ μαρτυρώ περί εμαυτού, η μαρτυρία μου είναι αληθής, διότι εξεύρω πόθεν ήλθον και που υπάγω· σεις όμως δεν εξεύρετε πόθεν έρχομαι και που υπάγω.
14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
14 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω· ὑμεῖς [δὲ] οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω.
15 Σεις κατά την σάρκα κρίνετε· εγώ δεν κρίνω ουδένα.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
15 ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε· ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.
16 Αλλά και εάν εγώ κρίνω, η κρίσις η εμή είναι αληθής, διότι μόνος δεν είμαι, αλλ' εγώ και ο Πατήρ ο πέμψας με.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
16 καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθής ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
17 Και εν τω νόμω δε υμών είναι γεγραμμένον ότι δύο ανθρώπων η μαρτυρία είναι αληθινή.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
17 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.
18 Εγώ είμαι ο μαρτυρών περί εμαυτού, και ο πέμψας με Πατήρ μαρτυρεί περί εμού.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
18 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
19 Έλεγον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Που είναι ο Πατήρ σου; Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς· Ούτε εμέ εξεύρετε ούτε τον Πατέρα μου· εάν ηξεύρετε εμέ, ηθέλετε εξεύρει και τον Πατέρα μου.
19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
19 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σου; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε οὔτε τὸν πατέρα μου· εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε, καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου ᾔδειτε ἄν.
20 Τούτους τους λόγους ελάλησεν ο Ιησούς εν τω θησαυροφυλακίω, διδάσκων εν τω ιερώ, και ουδείς επίασεν αυτόν, διότι δεν είχεν ελθεί έτι η ώρα αυτού.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
20 Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
21 Είπε λοιπόν πάλιν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Εγώ υπάγω και θέλετε με ζητήσει, και θέλετε αποθάνει εν τη αμαρτία υμών· όπου εγώ υπάγω, σεις δεν δύνασθε να έλθητε.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
21 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.
22 Έλεγον λοιπόν οι Ιουδαίοι· Μήπως θέλει θανατώσει εαυτόν, και διά τούτο λέγει, Όπου εγώ υπάγω, σεις δεν δύνασθε να έλθητε;
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
22 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὅτι λέγει, ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
23 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Σεις είσθε εκ των κάτω, εγώ είμαι εκ των άνω· σεις είσθε εκ του κόσμου τούτου, εγώ δεν είμαι εκ του κόσμου τούτου.
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.
24 Σας είπον λοιπόν ότι θέλετε αποθάνει εν ταις αμαρτίαις υμών· διότι εάν δεν πιστεύσητε ότι εγώ είμαι, θέλετε αποθάνει εν ταις αμαρτίαις υμών.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
24 εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.
25 Έλεγον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Συ τις είσαι; και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· ό,τι σας λέγω απ' αρχής.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
25 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· σὺ τίς εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τὴν ἀρχὴν ὅ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν.
26 Πολλά έχω να λέγω και να κρίνω περί υμών· αλλ' ο πέμψας με είναι αληθής, και εγώ όσα ήκουσα παρ' αυτού, ταύτα λέγω εις τον κόσμον.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
26 πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστι, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα λέγω εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
27 δεν ενόησαν ότι έλεγε προς αυτούς περί του Πατρός.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
27 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
28 Είπε λοιπόν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Όταν υψώσητε τον Υιόν του άνθρώπου, τότε θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι, και απ' εμαυτού δεν κάμνω ουδέν, αλλά καθώς με εδίδαξεν ο Πατήρ μου, ταύτα λαλώ.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
28 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέ με ὁ πατήρ μου, ταῦτα λαλῶ.
29 Και ο πέμψας με είναι μετ' εμού· δεν με αφήκεν ο Πατήρ μόνον, διότι εγώ κάμνω πάντοτε τα αρεστά εις αυτόν.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
29 καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέ με μόνον ὁ πατήρ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.
30 Ενώ ελάλει ταύτα, πολλοί επίστευσαν εις αυτόν.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
31 Έλεγε λοιπόν ο Ιησούς προς τους Ιουδαίους τους πιστεύσαντας εις αυτόν· Εάν σεις μείνητε εν τω λόγω τω εμώ, είσθε αληθώς μαθηταί μου,
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
31 Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους· ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε,
32 και θέλετε γνωρίσει την αλήθειαν, και η αλήθεια θέλει σας ελευθερώσει.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
32 καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
33 Απεκρίθησαν προς αυτόν· Σπέρμα του Αβραάμ είμεθα, και δεν εγείναμεν δούλοι εις ουδένα πώποτε· πως συ λέγεις ότι θέλετε γείνει ελεύθεροι;
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
33 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ· σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;
34 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω ότι πας όστις πράττει την αμαρτίαν δούλος είναι της αμαρτίας.
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν δοῦλός ἐστι τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
35 Ο δε δούλος δεν μένει πάντοτε εν τη οικία· ο υιός μένει πάντοτε.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
35 ὁ δὲ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὁ υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
36 Εάν λοιπόν ο Υιός σας ελευθερώση, όντως ελεύθεροι θέλετε είσθαι.
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
36 ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
37 Εξεύρω ότι είσθε σπέρμα του Αβραάμ· αλλά ζητείτε να με θανατώσητε, διότι ο λόγος ο εμός δεν χωρεί εις εσάς.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
37 οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.
38 Εγώ λαλώ ό,τι είδον πλησίον του Πατρός μου· και σεις ομοίως κάμνετε ό,τι είδετε πλησίον του πατρός σας.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
38 ἐγὼ ὃ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρί μου λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ὃ ἑωράκατε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν ποιεῖτε.
39 Απεκρίθησαν και είπον προς αυτόν· Ο πατήρ ημών είναι ο Αβραάμ. Λέγει προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Εάν ήσθε τέκνα του Αβραάμ, τα έργα του Αβραάμ ηθέλετε κάμνει.
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
39 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστι. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἦτε, τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἐποιεῖτε.
40 Τώρα δε ζητείτε να με θανατώσητε, άνθρωπον όστις σας ελάλησα την αλήθειαν, την οποίαν ήκουσα παρά του Θεού· τούτο ο Αβραάμ δεν έκαμε.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
40 νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα, ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.
41 Σεις κάμνετε τα έργα του πατρός σας. Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν· Ημείς δεν εγεννήθημεν εκ πορνείας· ένα Πατέρα έχομεν, τον Θεόν.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
41 ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα· ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν, τὸν Θεόν.
42 Είπε λοιπόν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Εάν ο Θεός ήτο Πατήρ σας, ηθέλετε αγαπά εμέ· διότι εγώ εκ του Θεού εξήλθον και έρχομαι· επειδή δεν ήλθον απ' εμαυτού, αλλ' εκείνος με απέστειλε.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
42 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ ὁ Θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλε.
43 Διά τι δεν γνωρίζετε την λαλιάν μου; διότι δεν δύνασθε να ακούητε τον λόγον μου.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
43 διατί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.
44 Σεις είσθε εκ πατρός του διαβόλου και τας επιθυμίας του πατρός σας θέλετε να πράττητε. Εκείνος ήτο απ' αρχής ανθρωποκτόνος και δεν μένει εν τη αληθεία, διότι αλήθεια δεν υπάρχει εν αυτώ· όταν λαλή το ψεύδος, εκ των ιδίων λαλεί, διότι είναι ψεύστης και ο πατήρ αυτού του ψεύδους.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
44 ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστέ, καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐχ ἕστηκεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ· ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
45 Εγώ δε διότι λέγω την αλήθειαν, δεν με πιστεύετε.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
45 ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.
46 Τις από σας με ελέγχει περί αμαρτίας; εάν δε αλήθειαν λέγω, διά τι σεις δεν με πιστεύετε;
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
46 τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; εἰ δὲ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διατί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;
47 Όστις είναι εκ του Θεού, τους λόγους του Θεού ακούει· διά τούτο σεις δεν ακούετε, διότι εκ του Θεού δεν είσθε.
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
47 ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.
48 Απεκρίθησαν λοιπόν οι Ιουδαίοι και είπον προς αυτόν· Δεν λέγομεν ημείς καλώς ότι Σαμαρείτης είσαι συ και δαιμόνιον έχεις;
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
48 ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρείτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;
49 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς· Εγώ δαιμόνιον δεν έχω, αλλά τιμώ τον Πατέρα μου, και σεις με ατιμάζετε.
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
49 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.
50 Και εγώ δεν ζητώ την δόξαν μου· υπάρχει ο ζητών και κρίνων.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
50 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.
51 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω· Εάν τις φυλάξη τον λόγον μου, θάνατον δεν θέλει ιδεί εις τον αιώνα.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”
51 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμὸν τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
52 Είπον λοιπόν προς αυτόν οι Ιουδαίοι· Τώρα κατελάβομεν ότι δαιμόνιον έχεις. Ο Αβραάμ απέθανε και οι προφήται, και συ λέγεις· Εάν τις φυλάξη τον λόγον μου, δεν θέλει γευθή θάνατον εις τον αιώνα.
52 Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’
52 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανε καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις, ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα;
53 Μήπως συ είσαι μεγαλήτερος του πατρός ημών Αβραάμ, όστις απέθανε; και οι προφήται απέθανον· συ τίνα κάμνεις σεαυτόν;
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
53 μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανε; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον· τίνα σεαυτὸν σὺ ποιεῖς;
54 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς· Εάν εγώ δοξάζω εμαυτόν, η δόξα μου είναι ουδέν· ο Πατήρ μου είναι όστις με δοξάζει, τον οποίον σεις λέγετε ότι είναι Θεός σας.
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
54 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάζω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι Θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐστι,
55 Και δεν εγνωρίσατε αυτόν εγώ όμως γνωρίζω αυτόν· και εάν είπω ότι δεν γνωρίζω αυτόν, θέλω είσθαι όμοιός σας ψεύστης· αλλά γνωρίζω αυτόν και τον λόγον αυτού φυλάττω.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
55 καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν· ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. καὶ ἐὰν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῶν ψεύστης· ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.
56 Ο Αβραάμ ο πατήρ σας είχεν αγαλλίασιν να ίδη την ημέραν την εμήν και είδε και εχάρη.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
56 Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐχάρη.
57 Είπον λοιπόν οι Ιουδαίοι προς αυτόν· Πεντήκοντα έτη δεν έχεις έτι, και είδες τον Αβραάμ;
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
57 εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν· πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;
58 Είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω· Πριν γείνη ο Αβραάμ, εγώ είμαι.
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
58 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγώ εἰμι.
59 Εσήκωσαν λοιπόν λίθους διά να ρίψωσι κατ' αυτού· πλην ο Ιησούς εκρύβη και εξήλθεν εκ του ιερού περάσας διά μέσον αυτών, και ούτως ανεχώρησε.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
59 ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν. Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν, καὶ παρῆγεν οὕτως.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- John 7:53–8:11: the woman taken in adultery
The story of the woman brought to Jesus, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone,” is missing from the earliest Greek manuscripts of John and wanders to other places in some later ones. Yet it was known in the early Church, is printed in the Patriarchal Text, and is read in Orthodox services. Most scholars think it is a genuine early tradition that was not originally part of John.
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).
Ye know well, Beloved, that we all have One Master, and are fellow disciples under Him. Nor are we your masters, because we speak to you from this higher spot; but He is the Master of all, who dwelleth in us all.

Oh the folly of the Jews! seeking Him as they did before the Passover, and then having found Him in the midst of them, and having often attempted to take Him by their own or by others' hands without being able; they were not even so awed by His power, but set themselves to their wickedness, and desisted not.

For when the Lord said to them, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day; and he saw it, and was glad," they answered Him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?" Now, such language is fittingly applied to one who has already passed the age of forty, without having as yet reached his fiftieth …
The same is Thy Word, which is also "the Beginning," because also It speaketh unto us. Thus, in the gospel He speaketh through the flesh; and this sounded outwardly in the ears of men, that it might be believed and sought inwardly, and that it might be found in the eternal Truth, where the good and only Master teacheth all …
