4 What tis then oun shall we say legō that Abraham Abraam, · ho our hēmeis forefather propatōr according kata to the flesh sarx, has discovered heuriskō about this? ² For gar if ei Abraham Abraam was justified dikaioō by ek works ergon, he has echō something to boast kauchēma about ( but alla not ou before pros God theos). ³ For gar what tis does the ho scripture graphē say legō? “ And de Abraham Abraam believed pisteuō · ho God theos, and kai it was credited logizomai to him autos as eis righteousness dikaiosynē.” ⁴ Now de to the ho one who works ergazomai, his ho wages misthos are not ou credited logizomai as kata a gift charis, but alla as kata an obligation opheilēma. ⁵ But de to the ho one who does not mē work ergazomai, but de entrusts pisteuō himself to epi the ho one who justifies dikaioō the ho ungodly asebēs, his autos faith pistis is credited logizomai · ho as eis righteousness dikaiosynē. ⁶ So kathaper also kai David Dauid speaks legō of the ho blessedness makarismos of the ho one anthrōpos to whom hos · ho God theos credits logizomai righteousness dikaiosynē apart chōris from works ergon: ⁷ “ Blessed makarios are those whose hos lawless deeds anomia are forgiven aphiēmi, · ho and kai whose hos sins hamartia are covered epikalyptō. · ho ⁸ Blessed makarios is the man anēr whose hos sin hamartia the Lord kyrios will not ou mē take logizomai into account .” ⁹ · ho Therefore oun, is this houtos blessedness makarismos for epi the ho circumcised peritomē alone, or ē is it also kai for epi the ho uncircumcised akrobystia? For gar we say legō, “It was to ho Abraham Abraam that ho faith pistis was credited logizomai as eis righteousness dikaiosynē.” ¹⁰ How pōs then oun was it credited logizomai to him? Was it after en he was eimi circumcised peritomē or ē before en akrobystia? It was not ou after en his circumcision peritomē but alla before en akrobystia. ¹¹ · kai He received lambanō the sign sēmeion of circumcision peritomē as a seal sphragis of the ho righteousness dikaiosynē that he had by ho faith pistis · ho while he was still en · ho uncircumcised akrobystia, so eis that he autos would be eimi the father patēr of all pas who ho believe pisteuō but have never been circumcised dia, that eis they too kai might have righteousness dikaiosynē credited logizomai to them autos. · ho ¹² He is also kai the father patēr of the circumcised peritomē who ho are not ou merely monon circumcised peritomē but alla also kai · ho walk stoicheō in the ho footsteps ichnos of the ho faith pistis that · ho our hēmeis father patēr Abraham Abraam had while he was still en uncircumcised akrobystia.

¹⁴ About ēdē · de halfway through mesoō the ho festival heortē Jesus Iēsous went anabainō up to eis the ho temple hieron and kai began to teach didaskō. ¹⁵ The ho Jews Ioudaios were astonished thaumazō, and they asked legō, “ How pōs does oida this houtos man know oida the sacred letters gramma, having never mē studied manthanō?” ¹⁶ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, them autos, · ho · kai saying legō, · ho “ My emos teaching didachē is eimi not ou mine emos, but alla it comes from the ho one who sent pempō me egō. ¹⁷ If ean anyone tis is willing thelō to do poieō God’ s autos · ho will thelēma, he will know ginōskō about peri the ho teaching didachē, whether poteron it comes eimi from ek · ho God theos or ē whether I egō am speaking laleō on apo my emautou own authority. ¹⁸ The ho one who speaks laleō on apo his heautou own authority seeks zēteō · ho his own idios honor doxa; · ho but de the ho one who seeks zēteō the ho honor doxa of the ho one who sent pempō him autos is eimi truthful alēthēs, and kai in en him autos there is eimi nothing ou false adikia.

¹⁹ “ Has not ou Moses Mōysēs given didōmi you hymeis the ho law nomos? Yet kai not oudeis one of ek you hymeis keeps poieō the ho law nomos. Why tis are you trying zēteō to kill apokteinō me egō?” ²⁰ The ho crowd ochlos answered apokrinomai, “ You have echō a demon daimonion! Who tis is trying zēteō to kill apokteinō you sy?” ²¹ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · kai saying legō to them autos, “ I performed poieō one heis work ergon, and kai you are all pas astonished thaumazō. ²² For dia this houtos reason Moses Mōysēs gave didōmi you hymeis · ho circumcision peritomē— not ou that hoti it is eimi from ek · ho Moses Mōysēs, but alla from ek the ho patriarchs patēr— and kai you circumcise peritemnō a man anthrōpos on en the Sabbath sabbaton. ²³ If ei a man anthrōpos receives lambanō circumcision peritomē on en the Sabbath sabbaton so hina that the ho law nomos of Moses Mōysēs may not mē be broken lyō, why are you angry cholaō with me egō because hoti I made poieō an entire holos man anthrōpos well hygiēs on en the Sabbath sabbaton? ²⁴ Do not mē judge krinō according kata to appearance opsis, but alla judge krinō with ho proper dikaios judgment krisis.”

²⁵ Then oun some tis of ek the ho people of Jerusalem Hierosolymitēs began to say legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the man whom hos they are trying zēteō to kill apokteinō? ²⁶ And kai look ide, he is speaking laleō boldly parrēsia and kai they are saying legō nothing oudeis to him autos. Is it possible mēpote that our ho rulers archōn know ginōskō for sure alēthōs that hoti this houtos man is eimi the ho Christ Christos? ²⁷ Yet alla we know oida where this houtos man is eimi from pothen; when hotan the ho · de Christ Christos appears erchomai, no oudeis one will know ginōskō where pothen he is eimi from.” ²⁸ Then oun Jesus Iēsous, as he was teaching didaskō in en the ho temple hieron, · ho cried out krazō, · kai saying legō, “ You know oida me kagō, and kai you know oida where pothen I am eimi from? · kai I have erchomai not ou come erchomai on apo my emautou own . But alla the ho one who sent pempō me egō is eimi true alēthinos, and him hos you hymeis do not ou know oida; ²⁹ but I egō know oida him autos, because hoti I am eimi from para him autos and he kakeinos it is who sent apostellō me egō.” ³⁰ So oun they were anxious zēteō to arrest piazō him autos, but kai no oudeis one laid epiballō a hand cheir on epi him autos, · ho because hoti his autos hour hōra had not oupō yet come erchomai. · ho ³¹ Yet de many polys of ek the ho crowd ochlos believed pisteuō in eis him autos, · kai saying legō, “ When hotan the ho Christ Christos comes erchomai, he will poieō not mē perform poieō more polys miraculous sēmeion signs than hos this houtos man has poieō, will he?”

³² The ho Pharisees Pharisaios heard akouō the ho crowd ochlos secretly discussing gongyzō these things houtos about peri Jesus autos, so kai the ho chief priests archiereus and kai Pharisees Pharisaios sent apostellō · ho temple hypēretēs guards to hina arrest piazō him autos. ³³ Then oun Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “ I will be eimi with meta you hymeis for a little mikros while chronos longer eti, and kai then I am going hypagō back to pros the ho one who sent pempō me egō. ³⁴ You will look zēteō for me egō, but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō; and kai where hopou I egō am eimi, you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai.” ³⁵ Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios said legō to pros one heautou another , “ Where pou is this houtos man about mellō to go poreuō that hoti we hēmeis will not ou find heuriskō him autos? Surely he is mellō not mē going mellō to go poreuō to eis our ho people dispersed diaspora among the ho Greeks Hellēn and kai teach didaskō the ho Greeks Hellēn, is he ? ³⁶ What tis can it mean eimi, · ho this houtos saying logos of his hos: ‘ You will look zēteō for me egō but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō,’ and kai ‘ Where hopou I egō am eimi you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai’?”
