Translation: John 7:37-8:20

Text

Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ⸀ἔκραξεν λέγων· ἐάν τις διψᾷ ἐρχέσθω ⸂πρός με⸃ καὶ πινέτω˸.* 38 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ˸1,* καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος. 39 τοῦτο δὲ ⸀εἶπεν περὶ τοῦ πνεύματος ⸁ὃ ⸂ἔμελλον λαμβάνειν⸃ οἱ ⸀1πιστεύσαντες εἰς αὐτόν· οὔπω γὰρ ἦν ⸀2πνεῦμα, ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ⸀3οὐδέπω ἐδοξάσθη.*

[37] And on the last day of the great feast Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “Let those who might be thirsty come to me and drink.

[38] Believe in me, just as the writings said, out of his belly will flow rivers of life.

[39] But this he said about the Spirit who was about to receive those who believed in him; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40 ⸂Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου οὖν⸃ ἀκούσαντες ⸆ τῶν λόγων τούτων ἔλεγον·* ⸇ οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης· *41 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· ⸆ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός, ⸂οἱ δὲ⸃ ἔλεγον· μὴ γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁ χριστὸς ἔρχεται;* 42 ⸀οὐχ ἡ γραφὴ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐκ °τοῦ σπέρματος Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ τῆς κώμης ὅπου ἦν Δαυὶδ ⸉ἔρχεται ὁ χριστός⸊;* *43 σχίσμα οὖν ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ διʼ αὐτόν· *44 τινὲς δὲ ἤθελον ἐξ αὐτῶν πιάσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ οὐδεὶς ⸀ἐπέβαλεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας.

[40] Out of the crowd there fore heard these words and said, “This is truly the prophet.

[41] Others said, “This is the Christ.” But they said, “Does not the Christ come out of Galilee?”

[42] Do not the writings say that out of the seed of David and the Christ will come from the village of Bethlehem where David was from?

[43] Now the crowd became divided because of him;

[44] But some wanted to take him and seize him, but nobody threw their hands upon him (??)

*45 Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους,* καὶ ⸀εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι· διὰ τί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν;* 46 ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται· οὐδέποτε ⸂ἐλάλησεν οὕτως ἄνθρωπος⸃. 47 ἀπεκρίθησαν °οὖν °1αὐτοῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε;* 48 μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων; 49 ἀλλʼ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον ἐπάρατοί εἰσιν.* 50 ⸀λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς,* ⸂ὁ ἐλθὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν [τὸ] πρότερον,⸃ εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν·* 51 μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ πρῶτον παρʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ ⸂γνῷ τί ποιεῖ⸃; 52 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; ἐραύνησον καὶ ἴδε ⸆ ὅτι ⸉ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας προφήτης⸊ οὐκ ἐγείρεται.⸇*

[45] Now a servant came to the high priest and pharisees, and they said to him, “Through whom were you led to him?” (??)

[46] The servant answered, “I have never spoken to this man.”

[47] And the Pharisees asked him, “And you were not led astray?”

[48] Have not any of the rulers believed in him nor the Pharisees?

[49] But this crowd who does not know the law and is cursed.

[50] Nicodemus (who came to him before and was one of them) said to them,

[51] “Does not our law judge a man without hearing him first and we know what he does? (?? Double Negative is tripping me up)

[52] And they answered him saying, “And are you not from Galilee too? Look and see that out of Galilee no prophet comes.

⟦ 53 ⸋Καὶ ⸀ἐπορεύθησαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν ⸁οἶκον αὐτοῦ,⸌ 8 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν.* 2 Ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν ⸀παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ⸋καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν,* καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς⸌. 3 Ἄγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ⸂γυναῖκα ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ⸃ κατειλημμένην καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ 4 ⸀λέγουσιν αὐτῷ⸆· * διδάσκαλε, ⸂αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπʼ αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη⸃· * 5 ⸂ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ ⸀ἡμῖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο⸃ τὰς τοιαύτας ⸁λιθάζειν. σὺ ⸀1οὖν τί λέγεις⸆;* 6 ⸋τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ⸀ἔχωσιν ⸂κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ⸃.⸌* ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ ⸁κατέγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν⸆. 7 ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες °αὐτόν, ⸂ἀνέκυψεν καὶ⸃ εἶπεν ⸀αὐτοῖς· ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος ⸄ἐπʼ αὐτὴν βαλέτω λίθον⸅.* 8 καὶ πάλιν ⸀κατακύψας ⸆ ⸁ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν⸇. 9 ⸂οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες⸃ ⸄ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθʼ* εἷς⸅ ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ⸆ καὶ κατελείφθη ⸀μόνος καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ ⸁οὖσα. 10 ⸀ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸆ εἶπεν ⸂αὐτῇ· γύναι,⸃ ⸄ποῦ εἰσιν⸅; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν; 11 ⸂ἡ δὲ εἶπεν⸃· οὐδείς, κύριε. ⸄εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς⸅· οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· ⸀πορεύου, ⸂1[καὶ] ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν⸃ μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε.⟧*

[53] And each one walked to his house,

[1] But Jesus walked to the mount of olives.

[2] And early in the morning he again went to the temple and the entire crowd came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

[3] And the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in adultery and she stood in the middle.

[4] They said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.”

[5] And in the law Moses tells us to stone people such as these. Now what do you say?

[6] But this they said to try and trap him, so that they could accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote in the earth.

[7] And as they continued to ask him, he lifted up head head and said to them, “You who are sinless be the first to throw a stone at her.”

[8] And again he stooped down and drew in the earth.

[9] After they heard this they left one by one from first to the eldest and left alone the woman who was in the middle.

[10] And lifting his head Jesus said to her, “Woman, where is [everyone]? Does not anyone condemn you?

[11] And she said, “Nobody, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, walk away and now sin no longer.”

12 Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν °ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ⸀ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλʼ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.* 13 Εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς·* ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής. 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 ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ ⸆ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.* 16 καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ⸀ἀληθινή ἐστιν,* ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με °πατήρ. 17 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ ⸀γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.* 18 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ. *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 ἂν ᾔδειτε.* *20 Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ·* καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.

[12] So then again Jesus spoke to them saying, “I am the light of the world; follow me and you will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

[13] Therefore the Pharisees said to him, “You testify about yourself; Your testimony is not true.

[14] Jesus answered and said to them, “If I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I come from and where I go. But you do not know where I come or where I go.

[15] You judge according to the flesh, I judge nobody.

[16] And yet if I judge, my judgement is true, because I am not alone, but I and my father who sent me.

[17] And in the law and your writings, the testimony of two men is true.

[18] I am the witness about myself and my father who sent me witnesses about me.

[19] So then they said to him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know me nor my father; if you knew me, then you would know my father.

[20] These words he said while teaching in the treasury of the temple; and nobody seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
