Matthew 18

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, “Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?”	1 Εν εκεινη τη ωρα ηλθον οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν, λεγοντες? Τις αρα ειναι μεγαλητερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων;
2 And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.	2 Και προσκαλεσας ο Ιησους παιδιον, εστησεν αυτο εν τω μεσω αυτων
3 And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.	3 και ειπεν? Αληθως σας λεγω, εαν δεν επιστρεψητε και γεινητε ως τα παιδια, δεν θελετε εισελθει εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων.
4 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.	4 Οστις λοιπον ταπεινωση εαυτον ως το παιδιον τουτο, ουτος ειναι ο μεγαλητερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων.
5 And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.	5 Και οστις δεχθη εν τοιουτον παιδιον εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται?
6 But whoever will have led astray one of these little ones, who trust in me, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be submerged in the depths of the sea.	6 οστις ομως σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εις εμε, συμφερει εις αυτον να κρεμασθη μυλου πετρα επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και να καταποντισθη εις το πελαγος της θαλασσης.
7 Woe to a world that leads people astray! Although it is necessary for temptations to arise, nevertheless: Woe to that man through whom temptation arises!	7 Ουαι εις τον κοσμον δια τα σκανδαλα? διοτι ειναι αναγκη να ελθωσι τα σκανδαλα? πλην ουαι εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, δια του οποιου το σκανδαλον ερχεται.
8 So if your hand or your foot leads you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life disabled or lame, than to be sent into eternal fire having two hands or two feet.	8 Και εαν η χειρ σου η ο πους σου σε σκανδαλιζη, εκκοψον αυτο και ριψον απο σου? καλητερον σοι ειναι να εισελθης εις την ζωην χωλος η κουλλος, παρα εχων δυο χειρας η δυο ποδας να ριφθης εις το πυρ το αιωνιον.
9 And if your eye leads you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than to be sent into the fires of Hell having two eyes.	9 Και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σε σκανδαλιζη, εκβαλε αυτον και ριψον απο σου? καλητερον σοι ειναι μονοφθαλμος να εισελθης εις την ζωην, παρα εχων δυο οφθαλμους να ριφθης εις την γεενναν του πυρος.
10 See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. For I say to you, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, who is in heaven.	10 Προσεχετε μη καταφρονησητε ενα των μικρων τουτων? διοτι σας λεγω οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν τοις ουρανοις διαπαντος βλεπουσι το προσωπον του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις.
11 For the Son of man has come to save what had been lost.	11 Επειδη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ηλθε δια να σωση το απολωλος.
12 How does it seem to you? If someone has one hundred sheep, and if one of them has gone astray, should he not leave behind the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go out to seek what has gone astray?	12 Τι σας φαινεται; εαν ανθρωπος τις εχη εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων, δεν αφινει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα και υπαγων επι τα ορη, ζητει το πλανωμενον;
13 And if he should happen to find it: Amen I say to you, that he has more joy over that one, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.	13 Και εαν συμβη να ευρη αυτο, αληθως σας λεγω οτι χαιρει δι' αυτο μαλλον παρα δια τα ενενηκοντα εννεα τα μη πεπλανημενα.
14 Even so, it is not the will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.	14 Ουτω δεν ειναι θελημα εμπροσθεν του Πατρος σας του εν ουρανοις να απολεσθη εις των μικρων τουτων.
15 But if your brother has sinned against you, go and correct him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have regained your brother.	15 Εαν δε αμαρτηση εις σε ο αδελφος σου, υπαγε και ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου? εαν σου ακουση, εκερδησας τον αδελφον σου?
16 But if he will not listen you, invite with you one or two more, so that every word may stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.	16 εαν ομως δεν ακουση, παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο, δια να βεβαιωθη πας λογος επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων η τριων.
17 And if he will not listen to them, tell the Church. But if he will not listen to the Church, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector.	17 Και εαν παρακουση αυτων, ειπε τουτο προς την εκκλησιαν? αλλ' εαν και της εκκλησιας παρακουση, ας ειναι εις σε ως ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης.
18 Amen I say to you, whatever you will have bound on earth, shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you will have released on earth, shall be released also in heaven.	18 Αληθως σας λεγω, Οσα εαν δεσητε επι της γης, θελουσιν εισθαι δεδεμενα εν τω ουρανω, και οσα εαν λυσητε επι της γης, θελουσιν εισθαι λελυμενα εν τω ουρανω.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of those among you have agreed on earth, about anything whatsoever that they have requested, it shall be done for them by my Father, who is in heaven.	19 Παλιν σας λεγω οτι εαν δυο απο σας συμφωνησωσιν επι της γης περι παντος πραγματος, περι του οποιου ηθελον καμει αιτησιν, θελει γεινει εις αυτους παρα του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις.
20 For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I, in their midst.”	20 Διοτι οπου ειναι δυο η τρεις συνηγμενοι εις το ονομα μου, εκει ειμαι εγω εν τω μεσω αυτων.
21 Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?”	21 Τοτε προσελθων προς αυτον ο Πετρος, ειπε? Κυριε, ποσακις αν αμαρτηση εις εμε ο αδελφος μου και θελω συγχωρησει αυτον; εως επτακις;
22 Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.	22 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Δεν σοι λεγω εως επτακις, αλλ' εως εβδομηκοντακις επτα.
23 Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants.	23 Δια τουτο η βασιλεια των ουρανων ωμοιωθη με ανθρωπον βασιλεα, οστις ηθελησε να θεωρηση λογαριασμον μετα των δουλων αυτου.
24 And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.	24 Και οτε ηρχισε να θεωρη, εφερθη προς αυτον εις οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων.
25 But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it.	25 Και επειδη δεν ειχε να αποδωση, προσεταξεν ο κυριος αυτου να πωληθη αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα ειχε, και να αποδοθη το οφειλομενον.
26 But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’	26 Πεσων λοιπον ο δουλος προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγων? Κυριε, μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
27 Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt.	27 Σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου, απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν εις αυτον.
28 But when that servant departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarius. And taking hold of him, he choked him, saying: ‘Repay what you owe.’	28 Αφου ομως εξηλθεν ο δουλος εκεινος, ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου, οστις εχρεωστει εις αυτον εκατον δηναρια, και πιασας αυτον επνιγε, λεγων? Αποδος μοι ο, τι χρεωστεις.
29 And his fellow servant, falling prostrate, petitioned him, saying: ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’	29 Πεσων λοιπον ο συνδουλος αυτου εις τους ποδας αυτου, παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων? Μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
30 But he was not willing. Instead, he went out and had him sent to prison, until he would repay the debt.	30 Εκεινος ομως δεν ηθελεν, αλλ' απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εις φυλακην, εωσου αποδωση το οφειλομενον.
31 Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were greatly saddened, and they went and reported to their lord all that was done.	31 Ιδοντες δε οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα, ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντες εφανερωσαν προς τον κυριον αυτων παντα τα γενομενα.
32 Then his lord called him, and he said to him: ‘You wicked servant, I forgave you all your debt, because you pleaded with me.	32 Τοτε προσκαλεσας αυτον ο κυριος αυτου, λεγει προς αυτον? Δουλε πονηρε, παν το χρεος εκεινο σοι αφηκα, επειδη με παρεκαλεσας?
33 Therefore, should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I also had compassion on you?’	33 δεν επρεπε και συ να ελεησης τον συνδουλον σου, καθως και εγω σε ηλεησα;
34 And his lord, being angry, handed him over to the torturers, until he repaid the entire debt.	34 Και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον εις τους βασανιστας, εωσου αποδωση παν το οφειλομενον εις αυτον.
35 So, too, shall my heavenly Father do to you, if each one of you will not forgive his brother from your hearts.”	35 Ουτω και ο Πατηρ μου ο επουρανιος θελει καμει εις εσας, εαν δεν συγχωρησητε εκ καρδιας σας εκαστος εις τον αδελφον αυτου τα πταισματα αυτων.
