Chapter Text

1

After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Post hæc autem ambulabat Jesus in Galilæam : non enim volebat in Judæam ambulare, quia quærebant eum Judæi interficere.

καὶ Μετὰ ταῦτα περιεπάτει [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ: οὐ γὰρ ἤθελεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περιπατεῖν, ὅτι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι.

2

Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand.

Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judæorum, Scenopegia.

ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἡ σκηνοπηγία.

3

And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.

Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus : Transi hinc, et vade in Judæam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quæ facis.

εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ: μετάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, ἵνα καὶ οἱ μαθηταί σου θεωρήσουσιν [σοῦ] τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖς:

4

For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.

Nemo quippe in occulto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse : si hæc facis, manifesta teipsum mundo.

οὐδεὶς γάρ τι ἐν κρυπτῷ ποιεῖ καὶ ζητεῖ αὐτὸς ἐν παρρησίᾳ εἶναι. εἰ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, φανέρωσον σεαυτὸν τῷ κόσμῳ.

5

For neither did his brethren believe in him.

Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum.

οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν.

6

Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

Dicit ergo eis Jesus : Tempus meum nondum advenit : tempus autem vestrum semper est paratum.

λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς: ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμὸς οὔπω πάρεστιν, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος πάντοτέ ἐστιν ἕτοιμος.

7

The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil,

Non potest mundus odisse vos : me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt.

οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς, ἐμὲ δὲ μισεῖ, ὅτι ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν.

8

Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished.

Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum : quia meum tempus nondum impletum est.

ὑμεῖς ἀνάβητε εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν: ἐγὼ οὔπω ἀναβαίνω εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ταύτην, ὅτι ὁ ἐμὸς καιρὸς οὔπω πεπλήρωται.

9

When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.

Hæc cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilæa.

ταῦτα δὲ εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.

10

But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

Ut autem ascenderunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascendit ad diem festum non manifeste, sed quasi in occulto.

ὡς δὲ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνέβη, οὐ φανερῶς ἀλλὰ' ὡς ἐν κρυπτῷ.

11

The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he?

Judæi ergo quærebant eum in die festo, et dicebant : Ubi est ille?

οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ καὶ ἔλεγον: ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος;

12

And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.

Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicebant : Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicebant : Non, sed seducit turbas.

καὶ γογγυσμὸς περὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄχλοις: οἱ μὲν ἔλεγον ὅτι ἀγαθός ἐστιν: ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον: οὔ, ἀλλὰ πλανᾷ τὸν ὄχλον.

13

Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judæorum.

οὐδεὶς μέντοι παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων.

14

Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.

Ἤδη δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς μεσούσης ἀνέβη Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκεν.

15

And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes : Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?

ἐθαύμαζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες: πῶς οὗτος γράμματα οἶδεν μὴ μεμαθηκώς;

16

Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit : Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.

ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν: ἡ ἐμὴ διδαχὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὴ ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με:

17

If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.

ἐάν τις θέλῃ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν, γνώσεται περὶ τῆς διδαχῆς πότερον ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν ἢ ἐγὼ ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ λαλῶ.

18

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.

Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.

ὁ ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ λαλῶν τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἰδίαν ζητεῖ: ὁ δὲ ζητῶν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν, οὗτος ἀληθής ἐστιν καὶ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν.

19

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem : et nemo ex vobis facit legem?

οὐ Μωϋσῆς ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν νόμον; καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον. τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι;

20

Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee?

Quid me quæritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit : Dæmonium habes : quis te quæret interficere?

ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ὄχλος: δαιμόνιον ἔχεις: τίς σε ζητεῖ ἀποκτεῖναι;

21

Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder.

Respondit Jesus et dixit eis : Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini:

ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα καὶ πάντες θαυμάζετε.

22

Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.

διὰ τοῦτο Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν. ὑμῖν τὴν περιτομήν, οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐστὶν, ἀλλ' ἐκ τῶν πατέρων, καὶ [ἐν] σαββάτῳ περιτέμνετε ἄνθρωπον.

23

If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi : mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?

εἰ περιτομὴν λαμβάνει [ὁ] ἄνθρωπος ἐν σαββάτῳ ἵνα μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως, ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε ὅτι ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν σαββάτῳ;

24

Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment.

Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.

μὴ κρίνετε κατ' ὄψιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν δικαίαν κρίσιν κρίνετε.

25

Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis : Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere?

Ἔλεγον οὖν τινες ἐκ τῶν Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν: οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὃν ζητοῦσιν ἀποκτεῖναι;

26

And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ?

et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?

καὶ ἴδε παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῷ λέγουσιν. μήποτε ἀληθῶς ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός;

27

But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence he is.

Sed hunc scimus unde sit : Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.

ἀλλὰ τοῦτον οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν: ὁ δὲ Χριστὸς ὅταν ἔρχηται, οὐδεὶς γινώσκει πόθεν ἐστίν.

28

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.

Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens : Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis : et a meipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem vos nescitis.

ἔκραξεν οὖν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς καὶ λέγων: κἀμὲ οἴδατε καὶ οἴδατε πόθεν εἰμί: καὶ ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ' ἔστιν ἀληθινὸς ὁ πέμψας με, ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε:

29

I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me.

Ego scio eum : quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.

ἐγὼ οἶδα αὐτόν, ὅτι παρ' αὐτοῦ εἰμι κἀκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.

30

They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere : et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venerat hora ejus.

ἐζήτουν οὖν αὐτὸν πιάσαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπέβαλεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν τὴν χεῖρα, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.

31

But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth?

De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant : Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit?

Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου δὲ πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἔλεγον: ὁ Χριστὸς ὅταν ἔλθῃ μὴ πλείονα σημεῖα ποιήσει ὧν οὗτος ἐποίησεν;

32

The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.

Audierunt pharisæi turbam murmurantem de illo hæc : et miserunt principes et pharisæi ministros ut apprehenderent eum.

ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τοῦ ὄχλου γογγύζοντος περὶ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὑπηρέτας ἵνα πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.

33

Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.

Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum : et vado ad eum qui me misit.

εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς: ἔτι χρόνον μικρὸν μεθ' ὑμῶν εἰμι καὶ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με.

34

You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.

Quæretis me, et non invenietis : et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire.

ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ, με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.

35

The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?

Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad semetipsos : Quo hic iturus est, quia non inveniemus eum? numquid in dispersionem gentium iturus est, et docturus gentes?

εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς ἑαυτούς: ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν; μὴ εἰς τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καὶ διδάσκειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας;

36

What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?

quis est hic sermo, quem dixit : Quæretis me, et non invenietis : et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire?

τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπεν: ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ, με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;

37

And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.

In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Jesus, et clamabat dicens : Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat.

Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔκραξεν λέγων: ἐάν τις διψᾷ, ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω.

38

He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ.

ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος.

39

Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum : nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.

τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν περὶ τοῦ πνεύματος {O(=}υ ἔμελλον λαμβάνειν οἱ πιστεύσαντες εἰς αὐτόν: οὔπω γὰρ ἦν πνεῦμα, ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὖπω ἐδοξάσθη.

40

Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

Ex illa ergo turba cum audissent hos sermones ejus, dicebant : Hic est vere propheta.

Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου οὖν ἀκούσαντες τῶν λόγων τούτων ἔλεγον: [ὅτι] οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης:

41

Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

Alii dicebant : Hic est Christus. Quidam autem dicebant : Numquid a Galilæa venit Christus?

ἄλλοι ἔλεγον: οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός: οἱ δὲ ἔλεγον: μὴ γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁ Χριστὸς ἔρχεται;

42

Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

nonne Scriptura dicit : Quia ex semine David, et de Bethlehem castello, ubi erat David, venit Christus?

οὐχ ἡ γραφὴ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Δαυίδ καὶ ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ τῆς κώμης ὅπου ἦν Δαυίδ, ἔρχεται ὁ Χριστὸς;

43

So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum.

σχίσμα οὖν ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ δι' αὐτόν:

44

And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.

Quidam autem ex ipsis volebant apprehendere eum : sed nemo misit super eum manus.

τινὲς δὲ ἤθελον ἐξ αὐτῶν πιάσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλ' οὐδεὶς ἔβαλεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας.

45

The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

Venerunt ergo ministri ad pontifices et pharisæos. Et dixerunt eis illi : Quare non adduxistis illum?

Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους, καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι, διὰ τί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν;

46

The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

Responderunt ministri : Numquam sic locutus est homo, sicut hic homo.

ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται: οὐδέποτε ἐλάλησεν οὕτως ἄνθρωπος.

47

The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

Responderunt ergo eis pharisæi : Numquid et vos seducti estis?

ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν [αὐτοῖς] οἱ Φαρισαῖοι: μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε;

48

Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

numquid ex principibus aliquis credidit in eum, aut ex pharisæis?

μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων;

49

But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

sed turba hæc, quæ non novit legem, maledicti sunt.

ἀλλὰ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον ἐπάρατοί εἰσιν.

50

Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them):

Dixit Nicodemus ad eos, ille qui venit ad eum nocte, qui unus erat ex ipsis:

λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁ ἐλθὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν πρότερον εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν:

51

Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth?

Numquid lex nostra judicat hominem, nisi prius audierit ab ipso, et cognoverit quid faciat?

μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ πρῶτον παρ' αὐτοῦ καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ;

52

They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.

Responderunt, et dixerunt ei : Numquid et tu Galilæus es? scrutare Scripturas, et vide quia a Galilæa propheta non surgit.

ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ: μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; ἐραύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας προφήτης οὐκ ἐγείρεται.

53

And every man returned to his own house.

Et reversi sunt unusquisque in domum suam.

[Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ,]
