G1510–εἰμί–eimi

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

ἐστιν estin “it is”

But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

ἐστὶν estin “it is”

And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

ἦν ēn “it was”

And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

ἐστὲ este “are you”

See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

εἰμι eimi “am”

And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

ὢν ōn “being”

You are witnesses of these things.

ἐστε este “are”

And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.

ἦσαν ēsan “were”

From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.

ἦν ēn “was”ἦν ēn “was”ἦν ēn “was”

This Word was from the first in relation with God.

ἦν ēn “was”

What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.

ἦν, ēn “was,”ἦν ēn “was”

He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

ἦν ēn “was”

The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.

ἦν ēn “Was”

He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

ἦν, ēn “He was,”

John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

ἦν ēn “was He”ἦν. ēn “He was.’”

No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

ὢν ōn “is being”

And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?

ἐστὶν estin “is”εἶ; ei “are?”

He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.

εἰμὶ eimi “am”

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

εἶ; ei “are”εἰμί. eimi “I am.”εἶ ei “are”

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

εἶ; ei “are you?”

Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

ἦσαν ēsan “were”

And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

εἶ ei “are”

It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

ἐστιν estin “is”εἰμὶ eimi “am”

These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.

ἦν ēn “was”

This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

ἐστιν estin “it is”ἦν. ēn “He was.”
