|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. | In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. | Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος. |
| 2 | The same was in the beginning with God. | Hoc erat in principio apud Deum. | Οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν. |
| 3 | All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. | Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est. | πάντα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἓν ὃ γέγονεν. |
| 4 | In him was life, and the life was the light of men. | In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum: | ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων. |
| 5 | And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. | et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt. | καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν. |
| 6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. | Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioannes. | Ἐγένετο ἄνθρωπος ἀπεσταλμένος παρὰ Θεοῦ, ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωάννης· |
| 7 | This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. | Hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum. | οὗτος ἦλθεν εἰς μαρτυρίαν, ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός, ἵνα πάντες πιστεύσωσι δι᾽ αὐτοῦ. |
| 8 | He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. | Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. | οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖνος τὸ φῶς, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός. |
| 9 | That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. | Erat lux vera, quae illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum. | Ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινόν, ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον. |
| 10 | He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. | In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognovit. | ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἔγνω. |
| 11 | He came unto his own, and his own received him not. | In propria venit, et sui eum non receperunt. | εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἦλθε, καὶ οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτὸν οὐ παρέλαβον. |
| 12 | But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. | Quotquot autem receperunt eum, dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri, his qui credunt in nomine eius: | ὅσοι δὲ ἔλαβον αὐτόν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τέκνα Θεοῦ γενέσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, |
| 13 | Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. | qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. | οἳ οὐκ ἐξ αἱμάτων, οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος σαρκός, οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος ἀνδρός, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ Θεοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν. |
| 14 | And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. | Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis: et vidimus gloriam eius, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiae et veritatis. | Καὶ ὁ Λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός, πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας. |
| 15 | John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me. | Ioannes testimonium perhibet de ipso, et clamat dicens: Hic erat quem dixi: Qui post me venturus est, ante me factus est: quia prior me erat. | Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ κέκραγε λέγων· οὗτος ἦν ὃν εἶπον, ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν. |
| 16 | And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace. | Et de plenitudine eius nos omnes accepimus, et gratiam pro gratia: | Καὶ ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν, καὶ χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος· |
| 17 | For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. | quia lex per Moysen data est, gratia et veritas per Iesum Christum facta est. | ὅτι ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωϋσέως ἐδόθη, ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο. |
| 18 | No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. | Deum nemo vidit umquam: unigenitus Filius, qui est in sinu Patris, ipse enarravit. | Θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακε πώποτε· ὁ μονογενὴς υἱὸς ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρός, ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο. |
| 19 | And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou? | Et hoc est testimonium Ioannis, quando miserunt Iudaei ab Ierosolymis sacerdotes et Levitas ad eum ut interrogarent eum: Tu quis es? | Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Ἰωάννου, ὅτε ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐξ Ἱεροσολύμων ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευΐτας ἵνα ἐρωτήσωσιν αὐτόν· σὺ τίς εἶ; |
| 20 | And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ. | Et confessus est, et non negavit, et confessus est: Quia non sum ego Christus. | καὶ ὡμολόγησε, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο· καὶ ὡμολόγησεν ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὁ Χριστός. |
| 21 | And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. | Et interrogaverunt eum: Quid ergo? Elias es tu? Et dixit: Non sum. Propheta es tu? Et respondit: Non. | καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν· τί οὖν; Ἠλίας εἶ σύ; καὶ λέγει· οὐκ εἰμί. ὁ προφήτης εἶ σύ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη, οὔ. |
| 22 | They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself? | Dixerunt ergo ei: Quis es ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos? quid dicis de teipso? | εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· τίς εἶ; ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς· τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ; |
| 23 | He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. | Ait: Ego vox clamantis in deserto: Dirigite viam Domini, sicut dixit Isaias propheta. | ἔφη· ἐγὼ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, καθὼς εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας ὁ προφήτης. |
| 24 | And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees. | Et qui missi fuerant, erant ex pharisaeis. | καὶ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων· |
| 25 | And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? | Et interrogaverunt eum, et dixerunt ei: Quid ergo baptizas, si tu non es Christus, neque Elias, neque propheta? | καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· τί οὖν βαπτίζεις, εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς οὔτε Ἠλίας οὔτε ὁ προφήτης; |
| 26 | John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. | Respondit eis Ioannes, dicens: Ego baptizo in aqua: medius autem vestrum stetit, quem vos nescitis. | ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων· ἐγὼ βαπτίζω ἐν ὕδατι· μέσος δὲ ὑμῶν ἕστηκεν ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε. |
| 27 | The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. | Ipse est qui post me venturus est, qui ante me factus est: cuius ego non sum dignus ut solvam eius corrigiam calceamenti. | αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος, ὃς ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, οὗ ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος ἵνα λύσω αὐτοῦ τὸν ἱμάντα τοῦ ὑποδήματος. |
| 28 | These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. | Haec in Bethania facta sunt trans Iordanem, ubi erat Ioannes baptizans. | Ταῦτα ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐγένετο πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅπου ἦν Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων. |
| 29 | The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. | Altera die vidit Ioannes Iesum venientem ad se, et ait: Ecce agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccatum mundi. | Τῇ ἐπαύριον βλέπει [ὁ Ἰωάννης] τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει· ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου. |
| 30 | This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me. | Hic est de quo dixi: Post me venit vir qui ante me factus est: quia prior me erat: | οὗτός ἐστι περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον· ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεται ἀνὴρ ὃς ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν. |
| 31 | And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. | et ego nesciebam eum, sed ut manifestetur in Israël, propterea veni ego in aqua baptizans. | κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τῷ Ἰσραήλ, διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι βαπτίζων. |
| 32 | And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him. | Et testimonium perhibuit Ioannes, dicens: Quia vidi Spiritum descendentem quasi columbam de caelo, et mansit super eum. | καὶ ἐμαρτύρησεν Ἰωάννης λέγων ὅτι τεθέαμαι τὸ Πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον ὡς περιστερὰν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν. |
| 33 | And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. | Et ego nesciebam eum: sed qui misit me baptizare in aqua, ille mihi dixit: Super quem videris Spiritum descendentem, et manentem super eum, hic est qui baptizat in Spiritu Sancto. | κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με βαπτίζειν ἐν ὕδατι, ἐκεῖνός μοι εἶπεν· ἐφ᾽ ὃν ἂν ἴδῃς τὸ Πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον καὶ μένον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ βαπτίζων ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ. |
| 34 | And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God. | Et ego vidi: et testimonium perhibui quia hic est Filius Dei. | κἀγὼ ἑώρακα καὶ μεμαρτύρηκα ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 35 | The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples. | Altera die iterum stabat Ioannes, et ex discipulis eius duo. | Τῇ ἐπαύριον πάλιν εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰωάννης καὶ ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο, |
| 36 | And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. | Et respiciens Iesum ambulantem, dicit: Ecce agnus Dei. | καὶ ἐμβλέψας τῷ Ἰησοῦ περιπατοῦντι λέγει· ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 37 | And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. | Et audierunt eum duo discipuli loquentem, et secuti sunt Iesum. | καὶ ἤκουσαν αὐτοῦ οἱ δύο μαθηταὶ λαλοῦντος, καὶ ἠκολούθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ. |
| 38Gk 1:38-39 | And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? | Conversus autem Iesus, et videns eos sequentes se, dicit eis: Quid quaeritis? Qui dixerunt ei: Rabbi (quod dicitur interpretatum Magister), ubi habitas? | στραφεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθοῦντας λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί ζητεῖτε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ῥαββί· ὃ λέγεται ἑρμηνευόμενον διδάσκαλε· ποῦ μένεις; |
| 39Gk 1:40 | He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour. | Dicit eis: Venite et videte. Venerunt, et viderunt ubi maneret, et apud eum manserunt die illo: hora autem erat quasi decima. | λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἔρχεσθε καὶ ἴδετε. ἦλθον [οὖν] καὶ εἶδον ποῦ μένει, καὶ παρ᾽ αὐτῷ ἔμειναν τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην· ὥρα ἦν ὡς δεκάτη. |
| 40Gk 1:41 | And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him. | Erat autem Andreas, frater Simonis Petri, unus ex duobus qui audierant a Ioanne, et secuti fuerant eum. | ἦν Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου εἷς ἐκ τῶν δύο τῶν ἀκουσάντων παρὰ Ἰωάννου καὶ ἀκολουθησάντων αὐτῷ. |
| 41Gk 1:42 | He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. | Invenit hic primum fratrem suum Simonem, et dicit ei: Invenimus Messiam (quod est interpretatum Christus). | εὑρίσκει οὗτος πρῶτος τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον Σίμωνα καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· εὑρήκαμεν τὸν Μεσσίαν· ὅ ἐστι μεθερμηνευόμενον Χριστός· |
| 42Gk 1:43 | And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter. | Et adduxit eum ad Iesum. Intuitus autem eum Iesus, dixit: Tu es Simon, filius Iona; tu vocaberis Cephas, quod interpretatur Petrus. | καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν. ἐμβλέψας αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε· σὺ εἶ Σίμων ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωνᾶ, σὺ κληθήσῃ Κηφᾶς, ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται Πέτρος. |
| 43Gk 1:44 | On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me. | In crastinum voluit exire in Galilaeam, et invenit Philippum. Et dicit ei Iesus: Sequere me. | Τῇ ἐπαύριον ἠθέλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· καὶ εὑρίσκει Φίλιππον καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι. |
| 44Gk 1:45 | Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. | Erat autem Philippus a Bethsaida, civitate Andreae et Petri. | ἦν δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδά, ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Ἀνδρέου καὶ Πέτρου. |
| 45Gk 1:46 | Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. | Invenit Philippus Nathanaël, et dicit ei: Quem scripsit Moyses in lege, et prophetae, invenimus Iesum filium Ioseph a Nazareth. | εὑρίσκει Φίλιππος τὸν Ναθαναὴλ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ὃν ἔγραψε Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ οἱ προφῆται, εὑρήκαμεν, Ἰησοῦν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρέτ. |
| 46Gk 1:47 | And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see. | Et dixit ei Nathanaël: A Nazareth potest aliquid boni esse? Dicit ei Philippus: Veni et vide. | καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ· ἐκ Ναζαρὲτ δύναταί τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι; λέγει αὐτῷ Φίλιππος· ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε. |
| 47Gk 1:48 | Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. | Vidit Iesus Nathanaël venientem ad se, et dicit de eo: Ecce vere Israëlita, in quo dolus non est. | εἶδεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ναθαναὴλ ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει περὶ αὐτοῦ· ἴδε ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλίτης, ἐν ᾧ δόλος οὐκ ἔστι. |
| 48Gk 1:49 | Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. | Dicit ei Nathanaël: Unde me nosti? Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Priusquam te Philippus vocavit, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te. | λέγει αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ· πόθεν με γινώσκεις; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· πρὸ τοῦ σε Φίλιππον φωνῆσαι, ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν εἶδόν σε. |
| 49Gk 1:50 | Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. | Respondit ei Nathanaël, et ait: Rabbi, tu es Filius Dei, tu es rex Israël. | ἀπεκρίθη Ναθαναὴλ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ῥαββί, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 50Gk 1:51 | Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see. | Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Quia dixi tibi: Vidi te sub ficu, credis; maius his videbis. | ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις; μείζω τούτων ὄψει. |
| 51Gk 1:52 | And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. | Et dicit ei: Amen, amen dico vobis, videbitis caelum apertum, et angelos Dei ascendentes, et descendentes supra Filium hominis. | καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα, καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. |
