GreekΠολλοὶ οὖν ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὴν Μαρίαν καὶ θεασάμενοι ἃ ἐποίησεν, ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν·

Gnostic TranslationMolti dei Giudei che erano venuti da Maria, alla vista di ciò che egli aveva compiuto, credettero in lui.

Orthodox ReadingMany therefore of the Jewsⓘ — those who had come to Maryⓘ and had beheld what he had done, the raising of Lazarusⓘ from the tomb — believedⓘ in him.

Greekτινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς.

Gnostic TranslationMa alcuni di loro andarono dai farisei e riferirono loro quello che Gesù aveva fatto.

Orthodox ReadingBut some of them went to the Pharisees (perushim, the observant ones)ⓘ and told them what Jesus had done.

472

Greekσυνήγαγον οὖν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συνέδριον, καὶ ἔλεγον· Τί ποιοῦμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ ποιεῖ σημεῖα;

Gnostic TranslationAllora i capi dei sacerdoti e i farisei riunirono il sinedrio e dissero: 'Che cosa facciamo? Quest'uomo compie molti segni.

Orthodox ReadingSo the chief priests (archiereîs, the kohanim of the summit, of Sadducean faction, the Saddoukaioi)ⓘ and the Pharisees convened a Sanhedrin (Sanhedrin)ⓘ, and they were sayingⓘ: «What are we doing, since this man performs many signs (otot)ⓘ?».

Greekἐὰν ἀφῶμεν αὐτὸν οὕτως, πάντες πιστεύσουσιν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλεύσονται οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος.

Gnostic TranslationSe lo lasciamo continuare così, tutti crederanno in lui, verranno i Romani e distruggeranno il nostro tempio e la nostra nazione'.

Orthodox Reading«If we let him go on like this, all will believe in him, and the Romansⓘ will come and take awayⓘ from us both the Place, that is, the Temple (ha-Maqom)ⓘ and the nationⓘ».

493

Greekεἷς δέ τις ἐξ αὐτῶν Καϊάφας, ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε οὐδέν,

Gnostic TranslationMa uno di loro, Caifa, che era sommo sacerdote quell'anno, disse loro: 'Voi non capite nulla!

Orthodox ReadingBut one of them, Caiaphasⓘ, being high priest that yearⓘ, said to them: «You know nothing,

5011

Greekοὐδὲ λογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα εἷς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται.

Gnostic TranslationNon vi rendete conto che è conveniente per voi che un solo uomo muoia per il popolo, e non vada in rovina la nazione intera!'.

Orthodox Readingnor do you reasonⓘ that it is expedientⓘ for you that one single man die for the peopleⓘ, and that the whole nation not perish».

511

Greekτοῦτο δὲ ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου ἐπροφήτευσεν ὅτι ἔμελλεν Ἰησοῦς ἀποθνῄσκειν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους,

Gnostic TranslationQuesto però non lo disse da se stesso, ma, essendo sommo sacerdote quell'anno, profetizzò che Gesù doveva morire per la nazione;

Orthodox ReadingBut this he did not say of himself; rather, being high priest that year, he prophesiedⓘ that Jesus was about to die for the nationⓘ,

526

Greekκαὶ οὐχ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους μόνον, ἀλλ' ἵνα καὶ τὰ τέκνα τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ διεσκορπισμένα συναγάγῃ εἰς ἕν.

Gnostic Translatione non soltanto per la nazione, ma anche per riunire insieme i figli di Dio che erano dispersi.

Orthodox Readingand not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the scattered children of Godⓘ, gathering them togetherⓘ.

531

Greekἀπ' ἐκείνης οὖν τῆς ἡμέρας ἐβουλεύσαντο ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτόν.

Gnostic TranslationDa quel giorno dunque decisero di ucciderlo.

Orthodox ReadingFrom that day, therefore, they resolvedⓘ to kill himⓘ.

GreekὉ οὖν Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν χώραν ἐγγὺς τῆς ἐρήμου, εἰς Ἐφραὶμ λεγομένην πόλιν, κἀκεῖ ἔμεινεν μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν.

Gnostic TranslationGesù dunque non andava più in pubblico tra i Giudei, ma da lì si ritirò nella regione vicina al deserto, in una città chiamata Èfraim, dove rimase con i discepoli.

Orthodox ReadingJesus therefore no longer walkedⓘ with public boldnessⓘ among the Jews, but withdrew from there into the region near the wildernessⓘ, to a town called Ephraimⓘ, and there he remained with the disciplesⓘ.
