Matthew 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 At that time, Jesus went out through the ripe grain on the Sabbath. And his disciples, being hungry, began to separate the grain and to eat.	1 Εν εκεινω τω καιρω επορευετο ο Ιησους δια των σπαρτων εν σαββατω? οι δε μαθηται αυτου επεινασαν και ηρχισαν να ανασπωσιν ασταχυα και να τρωγωσιν.
2 Then the Pharisees, seeing this, said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths.”	2 Οι δε Φαρισαιοι ιδοντες ειπον προς αυτον? Ιδου, οι μαθηται σου πραττουσιν ο, τι δεν συγχωρειται να πραττηται το σαββατον.
3 But he said to them: “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:	3 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν ανεγνωσατε τι επραξεν ο Δαβιδ οτε επεινασεν αυτος και οι μετ' αυτου;
4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?	4 πως εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του Θεου και εφαγε τους αρτους της προθεσεως, τους οποιους δεν ητο συγκεχωρημενον εις αυτον να φαγη, ουτε εις τους μετ' αυτου, ειμη εις τους ιερεις μονους;
5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and they are without guilt?	5 Η δεν ανεγνωσατε εν τω νομω οτι εν τοις σαββασιν οι ιερεις βεβηλονουσι το σαββατον εν τω ιερω και ειναι αθωοι;
6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.	6 Σας λεγω δε οτι εδω ειναι μεγαλητερος του ιερου.
7 And if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would never have condemned the innocent.	7 Εαν ομως εγνωριζετε τι ειναι Ελεον θελω και ουχι θυσιαν, δεν ηθελετε καταδικασει τους αθωους.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”	8 Διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ειναι κυριος και του σαββατου.
9 And when he had passed from there, he went into their synagogues.	9 Και μεταβας εκειθεν ηλθεν εις την συναγωγην αυτων.
10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?”	10 Και ιδου, ητο ανθρωπος εχων την χειρα ξηραν? και ηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες? Συγχωρειται ταχα να θεραπευη τις εν τω σαββατω; δια να κατηγορησωσιν αυτον.
11 But he said to them: “Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?	11 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Τις ανθρωπος απο σας θελει εισθαι, οστις εχων προβατον εν, εαν τουτο πεση εν τω σαββατω εις λακκον, δεν θελει πιασει και σηκωσει αυτο;
12 How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths.”	12 ποσον λοιπον διαφερει ανθρωπος προβατου; ωστε συγχωρειται εν τω σαββατω να αγαθοποιη τις.
13 Then he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.	13 Τοτε λεγει προς τον ανθρωπον? Εκτεινον την χειρα σου? και εξετεινε, και αποκατεσταθη υγιης ως η αλλη.
14 Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.	14 Οι δε Φαρισαιοι εξελθοντες συνεβουλευθησαν κατ' αυτου, δια να απολεσωσιν αυτον.
15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.	15 Αλλ' ο Ιησους νοησας ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν? και ηκολουθησαν αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους παντας.
16 And he instructed them, lest they make him known.	16 Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους αυστηρως δια να μη φανερωσωσιν αυτον,
17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:	17 δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια Ησαιου του προφητου, λεγοντος?
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.	18 Ιδου, ο δουλος μου, τον οποιον εξελεξα, ο αγαπητος μου, εις τον οποιον η ψυχη μου ευηρεστηθη? θελω θεσει το Πνευμα μου επ' αυτον, και θελει εξαγγειλει κρισιν εις τα εθνη?
19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.	19 δεν θελει αντιλογησει ουδε κραυγασει, ουδε θελει ακουσει τις την φωνην αυτου εν ταις πλατειαις.
20 He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory.	20 Καλαμον συντετριμμενον δεν θελει θλασει και λιναριον καπνιζον δεν θελει σβεσει, εωσου εκφερη εις νικην την κρισιν?
21 And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”	21 Και εν τω ονοματι αυτου θελουσιν ελπισει τα εθνη.
22 Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.	22 Τοτε εφερθη προς αυτον δαιμονιζομενος τυφλος και κωφος, και εθεραπευσεν αυτον, ωστε ο τυφλος και κωφος και ελαλει και εβλεπε.
23 And all the crowds were stupefied, and they said, “Could this be the son of David?”	23 Και εξεπληττοντο παντες οι οχλοι και ελεγον? Μηπως ειναι ουτος ο υιος του Δαβιδ;
24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.”	24 Οι δε Φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες ειπον? Ουτος δεν εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια ειμη δια του Βεελζεβουλ, του αρχοντος των δαιμονιων.
25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.	25 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους τους διαλογισμους αυτων, ειπε προς αυτους? Πασα βασιλεια διαιρεθεισα καθ' εαυτης ερημουται, και πασα πολις η οικια διαιρεθεισα καθ' εαυτης δεν θελει σταθη.
26 So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?	26 Και αν ο Σατανας τον Σαταναν εκβαλλη, διηρεθη καθ' εαυτου? πως λοιπον θελει σταθη η βασιλεια αυτου;
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.	27 Και αν εγω δια του Βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, οι υιοι σας δια τινος εκβαλλουσι; δια τουτο αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι κριται σας.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.	28 Αλλ' εαν εγω δια Πνευματος Θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, αρα εφθασεν εις εσας η βασιλεια του Θεου.
29 Or how can anyone enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his belongings, unless he first restrains the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.	29 Η πως δυναται τις να εισελθη εις την οικιαν του δυνατου και να διαρπαση τα σκευη αυτου, εαν πρωτον δεν δεση τον δυνατον; και τοτε θελει διαρπασει την οικιαν αυτου.
30 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.	30 Οστις δεν ειναι μετ' εμου ειναι κατ' εμου, και οστις δεν συναγει μετ' εμου σκορπιζει.
31 For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.	31 Δια τουτο σας λεγω, Πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια θελει συγχωρηθη εις τους ανθρωπους, η κατα του Πνευματος ομως βλασφημια δεν θελει συγχωρηθη εις τους ανθρωπους?
32 And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age.	32 και οστις ειπη λογον κατα του Υιου του ανθρωπου, θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον? οστις ομως ειπη κατα του Πνευματος του Αγιου, δεν θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον ουτε εν τουτω τω αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι.
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.	33 Η καμετε το δενδρον καλον, και τον καρπον αυτου καλον, η καμετε το δενδρον σαπρον, και τον καρπον αυτου σαπρον? διοτι εκ του καρπου γνωριζεται το δενδρον.
34 Progeny of vipers, how are you able to speak good things while you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.	34 Γεννηματα εχιδνων, πως δυνασθε να λαλητε καλα οντες πονηροι; διοτι εκ του περισσευματος της καρδιας λαλει το στομα.
35 A good man offers good things from a good storehouse. And an evil man offers evil things from an evil storehouse.	35 Ο καλος ανθρωπος εκ του καλου θησαυρου της καρδιας εκβαλλει τα καλα, και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα.
36 But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.	36 Σας λεγω δε οτι δια παντα λογον αργον, τον οποιον ηθελον λαλησει οι ανθρωποι, θελουσιν αποδωσει λογον δι' αυτον εν ημερα κρισεως.
37 For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”	37 Διοτι εκ των λογων σου θελεις δικαιωθη, και εκ των λογων σου θελεις καταδικασθη.
38 Then certain ones from the scribes and the Pharisees responded to him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”	38 Τοτε απεκριθησαν τινες των γραμματεων και Φαρισαιων, λεγοντες? Διδασκαλε, θελομεν να ιδωμεν σημειον απο σου.
39 And answering, he said to them: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.	39 Εκεινος δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον ζητει, και σημειον δεν θελει δοθη εις αυτην ειμη το σημειον Ιωνα του προφητου.
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.	40 Διοτι ως ο Ιωνας ητο εν τη κοιλια του κητους τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας, ουτω θελει εισθαι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου εν τη καρδια της γης τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας.
41 The men of Nineveh shall arise in judgment with this generation, and they shall condemn it. For, at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, there is a greater than Jonah here.	41 Ανδρες Νινευιται θελουσιν αναστηθη εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και θελουσι κατακρινει αυτην, διοτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα του Ιωνα, και ιδου, πλειοτερον του Ιωνα ειναι εδω.
42 The Queen of the South shall arise in judgment with this generation, and she shall condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, there is a greater than Solomon here.	42 Η βασιλισσα του νοτου θελει σηκωθη εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και θελει κατακρινει αυτην, διοτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης δια να ακουση την σοφιαν του Σολομωντος, και ιδου, πλειοτερον του Σολομωντος ειναι εδω.
43 Now when an unclean spirit departs from a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and he does not find it.	43 Οταν δε το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου, διερχεται δι' ανυδρων τοπων και ζητει αναπαυσιν και δεν ευρισκει.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed’. And arriving, he finds it vacant, swept clean, and decorated.	44 Τοτε λεγει? Ας επιστρεψω εις τον οικον μου, οθεν εξηλθον? και ελθον ευρισκει αυτον κενον, σεσαρωμενον και εστολισμενον.
45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there. And in the end, the man becomes worse than he was at first. So, too, shall it be with this most wicked generation.”	45 Τοτε υπαγει και παραλαμβανει μεθ' εαυτου επτα αλλα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου, και εισελθοντα κατοικουσιν εκει, και γινονται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειροτερα των πρωτων. Ουτω θελει εισθαι και εις την γενεαν ταυτην την πονηραν.
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him.	46 Ενω δε αυτος ελαλει ετι προς τους οχλους, ιδου, η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ισταντο εξω, ζητουντες να λαλησωσι προς αυτον.
47 And someone said to him: “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking you.”	47 Ειπε δε τις προς αυτον? Ιδου, η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου ιστανται εξω, ζητουντες να λαλησωσι προς σε.
48 But responding to the one speaking to him, he said, “Which one is my mother, and who are my brothers?”	48 Ο δε αποκριθεις προς τον ειποντα τουτο προς αυτον ειπε? Τις ειναι η μητηρ μου και τινες ειναι οι αδελφοι μου;
49 And extending his hand to his disciples, he said: “Behold: my mother and my brothers.	49 Και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου προς τους μαθητας αυτου ειπεν? Ιδου η μητηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου.
50 For anyone who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”	50 Διοτι οστις καμη το θελημα του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις, αυτος μου ειναι αδελφος και αδελφη και μητηρ.
