Book of Common Prayer

1 In en the beginning archē was eimi the ho Word logos, and kai the ho Word logos was eimi with pros · ho God theos, and kai the ho Word logos was eimi God theos. ² He houtos was eimi in en the beginning archē with pros · ho God theos. ³ All pas things were created ginomai by dia him autos, and kai apart chōris from him autos not oude a single thing heis was created ginomai that hos has been created ginomai. ⁴ In en him autos was eimi life zōē, and kai that ho life zōē was eimi the ho light phōs of ho men anthrōpos. ⁵ · kai The ho light phōs shines on phainō in en the ho darkness skotia, and kai the ho darkness skotia has katalambanō not ou understood katalambanō it autos.

⁶ There came ginomai on the scene a man anthrōpos sent apostellō from para God theos, whose autos name onoma was John Iōannēs. ⁷ He houtos came erchomai as eis a witness martyria to hina bear testimony martyreō about peri the ho light phōs so that hina everyone pas might believe pisteuō through dia him autos. ⁸ He ekeinos was eimi not ou the ho light phōs, but alla came to hina bear testimony martyreō about peri the ho light phōs. ⁹ The ho true alēthinos light phōs, · ho which hos enlightens phōtizō everyone pas anthrōpos, was eimi coming erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos.

¹⁰ He was eimi in en the ho world kosmos, and kai the ho world kosmos was created ginomai by dia him autos, but kai the ho world kosmos did ginōskō not ou know ginōskō him autos. ¹¹ He came erchomai to eis that ho which was his idios own , but kai his ho own idios people did paralambanō not ou accept paralambanō him autos. ¹² But de as many hosos as did accept lambanō him autos, to them autos he gave didōmi the right exousia to become ginomai children teknon of God theos, to those ho who believe pisteuō in eis · ho his autos name onoma, ¹³ who hos were born gennaō, not ou from ek human haima stock or oude from ek a physical sarx impulse thelēma or oude by ek a husband’ s anēr decision thelēma, but alla by ek God theos.

¹⁴ And kai the ho Word logos became ginomai flesh sarx and kai dwelt skēnoō among en us hēmeis, and kai we gazed theaomai on · ho his autos glory doxa, glory doxa as hōs of the only monogenēs Son from para the Father patēr, full plērēs of grace charis and kai truth alētheia. ¹⁵ John Iōannēs testified martyreō about peri him autos and kai cried krazō out , saying legō, “ This houtos is eimi he of whom hos I said legō, ‘ He ho who comes erchomai after opisō me egō is ginomai greater emprosthen than I egō, because hoti he existed eimi before prōtos me egō.’” ¹⁶ For hoti from ek · ho his autos fulness plērōma we hēmeis have all pas received lambanō · kai one gracious charis gift after anti another charis. ¹⁷ For hoti the ho law nomos was given didōmi through dia Moses Mōysēs; · ho grace charis and kai · ho truth alētheia came ginomai through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. ¹⁸ No one oudeis has horaō ever pōpote seen horaō God theos. The only monogenēs Son , himself God theos, the ho one who is eimi in eis the ho bosom kolpos of the ho Father patēr, he ekeinos has made him known exēgeomai.

¹³ Now kai on en that ho same autos day hēmera two dyo of ek them autos were eimi on their way poreuō to eis a village kōmē about apechō seven miles stadion from apo Jerusalem Ierousalēm, Emmaus Emmaous by hos name onoma. ¹⁴ And kai they autos were talking homileō with pros one allēlōn another about peri all pas these things houtos that ho had taken symbainō place . ¹⁵ · kai While en they autos were talking homileō and kai debating syzēteō these things, it happened that ginomai Jesus Iēsous himself autos drew engizō near and kai walked symporeuomai along with them autos, ¹⁶ · ho but de their autos eyes ophthalmos were kept krateō from recognizing epiginōskō him autos.

¹⁷ He said legō · de to pros them autos, “ What tis are · ho these houtos matters logos that hos you are discussing antiballō with pros each allēlōn other as you walk peripateō along ?” · kai They came to a stop histēmi, looking skythrōpos sad . ¹⁸ Then de one heis of them, named onoma Cleopas Kleopas, answered apokrinomai, saying legō to pros him autos, “ Are you sy the only monos visitor paroikeō to Jerusalem Ierousalēm · kai who does not ou know ginōskō the ho things that have happened ginomai there en autos in en · ho these houtos days hēmera?” ¹⁹ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ What poios things ?” They ho · de answered legō him autos, “ The ho things about peri Jesus Iēsous of ho Nazareth Nazarēnos, a man anēr who hos was ginomai a prophet prophētēs mighty dynatos in en deed ergon and kai word logos before enantion · ho God theos and kai all pas the ho people laos, ²⁰ that hopōs our hēmeis chief priests archiereus and kai rulers archōn delivered paradidōmi him autos up · ho · ho to eis be condemned krima to death thanatos and kai crucified stauroō him autos. ²¹ But de we hēmeis had hoped elpizō that hoti he autos was eimi the ho one who was going mellō to redeem lytroō · ho Israel Israēl. Indeed ge kai, besides syn all pas this houtos, but alla it is agō now houtos the third tritos day hēmera since apo hos these houtos things happened ginomai. ²² Moreover alla kai, some tis women gynē of ek our hēmeis group astonished existēmi us hēmeis: going ginomai to epi the ho tomb mnēmeion early orthrinos in the morning ²³ and kai not mē finding heuriskō · ho his autos body sōma, they came erchomai back saying legō that they had horaō even kai seen horaō a vision optasia of angels angelos who hos said legō that he autos was alive zaō. ²⁴ Then kai some tis of those ho who were with syn us hēmeis went aperchomai to epi the ho tomb mnēmeion, and kai found heuriskō it just houtōs as kathōs · kai the ho women gynē had said legō, but de him autos they did not ou see.” ²⁵ So kai he autos said legō to pros them autos, “ You ō foolish anoētos people , · kai slow bradys of ho heart kardia to ho believe pisteuō in epi all pas that hos the ho prophets prophētēs have spoken laleō! ²⁶ Was it dei not ouchi necessary dei for the ho Messiah Christos to suffer paschō these houtos things and kai enter eiserchomai into eis · ho his autos glory doxa?” ²⁷ Then kai, beginning archō with apo Moses Mōysēs and kai all pas the ho Prophets prophētēs, he interpreted diermēneuō to them autos the ho things written about peri himself heautou in en all pas the ho Scriptures graphē.

²⁸ When kai they drew engizō near to eis the ho village kōmē to which hou they were going poreuō, · kai he autos made prospoieō as though he was going poreuō farther porrō, ²⁹ but kai they urged parabiazomai him autos strongly , saying legō, “ Stay menō with meta us hēmeis, for hoti it is eimi toward pros evening hespera and kai the ho day hēmera is already ēdē far spent klinō.” So kai he went eiserchomai in to ho stay menō with syn them autos. ³⁰ · kai When en he autos was reclining kataklinō at the table with meta them autos, he took lambanō the ho bread artos, blessed eulogeō and kai broke klaō it, and gave epididōmi it to them autos. ³¹ At this point de their autos eyes ophthalmos were opened dianoigō, · ho and kai they recognized epiginōskō him autos. Then kai he autos vanished aphantos ginomai from apo their autos sight. ³² · kai They said legō to pros each allēlōn other , “ Were eimi not ouchi · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia burning kaiō within en us hēmeis as hōs he spoke laleō to us hēmeis on en the ho road hodos, as hōs he opened dianoigō to us hēmeis the ho Scriptures graphē?” ³³ So kai they got anistēmi up that ho very autos hour hōra and returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, · kai where they found heuriskō the ho eleven hendeka and kai those ho with syn them autos gathered athroizō together , ³⁴ saying legō, “ The ho Lord kyrios has indeed ontōs been raised egeirō and kai has appeared horaō to Simon Simōn!” ³⁵ Then kai the two autos explained exēgeomai what ho had happened on en the ho road hodos, and kai how hōs Jesus had been made known ginōskō to them autos in en the ho breaking klasis of the ho bread artos.

¹⁹ On eimi the evening opsia · ho of that ekeinos day hēmera, the ho first heis day of the week sabbaton, · kai when the ho doors thura were locked kleiō where hopou the ho disciples mathētēs were eimi for dia · ho fear phobos of the ho Jews Ioudaios, Jesus Iēsous came erchomai · ho and kai stood histēmi in eis their ho midst mesos and kai said legō to them autos, “ Peace eirēnē be with you hymeis.” ²⁰ · kai Having said legō this houtos, he showed deiknymi them autos his ho hands cheir and kai his ho side pleura. Then oun the ho disciples mathētēs were filled chairō with joy when they saw the ho Lord kyrios. ²¹ So oun Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos · ho again palin, “ Peace eirēnē be with you hymeis. As kathōs the ho Father patēr has sent apostellō me egō, I also kagō am sending pempō you hymeis.” ²² · kai Having said legō this houtos, he breathed emphysaō on them autos and kai said legō, “ Receive lambanō the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma. ²³ Whoever’ s an tis sins hamartia you forgive aphiēmi, · ho they autos stand forgiven aphiēmi; whoever’ s an tis sins you pronounce unforgiven krateō, they remain unforgiven krateō.
