| 1 Και εν μια των ημερων εκεινων, ενω αυτος εδιδασκε τον λαον εν τω ιερω, και ευηγγελιζετο, ηλθον εξαιφνης οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις μετα των πρεσβυτερων | 1 One day, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up |
| 2 και ειπον προς αυτον, λεγοντες? Ειπε προς ημας εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα, η τις ειναι οστις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην; | 2 and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority." |
| 3 Αποκριθεις δε ειπε προς αυτους? Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, και ειπατε μοι? | 3 He answered them, "I also will ask you a question; now tell me, |
| 4 το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ητο η εξ ανθρωπων; | 4 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?" |
| 5 Οι δε εσυλλογισθησαν καθ' εαυτους λεγοντες, οτι Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει, Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον; | 5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?' |
| 6 Εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, πας ο λαος θελει μας λιθοβολησει? επειδη ειναι πεπεισμενοι οτι ο Ιωαννης ειναι προφητης. | 6 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet." |
| 7 Και απεκριθησαν οτι δεν εξευρουσι ποθεν ητο. | 7 So they answered that they did not know whence it was. |
| 8 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Ουδε εγω σας λεγω εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα. | 8 And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." |
| 9 Ηρχισε δε να λεγη προς τον λαον την παραβολην ταυτην? Ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα, και εμισθωσεν αυτον εις γεωργους, και απεδημησε πολυν καιρον. | 9 And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country for a long while. |
| 10 Και εν τω καιρω των καρπων απεστειλε προς τους γεωργους δουλον δια να δωσωσιν εις αυτον απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος? οι γεωργοι ομως δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον? | 10 When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. |
| 11 Και παλιν επεμψεν αλλον δουλον. Πλην αυτοι δειραντες και εκεινον και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον. | 11 And he sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. |
| 12 Και παλιν επεμψε τριτον. Αλλ' εκεινοι και τουτον πληγωσαντες απεδιωξαν. | 12 And he sent yet a third; this one they wounded and cast out. |
| 13 Ειπε δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος? Τι να καμω; ας πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον? ισως ιδοντες τουτον θελουσιν εντραπει. | 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.' |
| 14 Πλην ιδοντες αυτον οι γεωργοι, διελογιζοντο καθ' εαυτους λεγοντες? Ουτος ειναι ο κληρονομος? ελθετε ας φονευσωμεν αυτον, δια να γεινη ημων η κληρονομια. | 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' |
| 15 Και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος, εφονευσαν? Τι λοιπον θελει καμει εις αυτους ο κυριος του αμπελωνος; | 15 And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? |
| 16 Θελει ελθει και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους, και θελει δωσει τον αμπελωνα εις αλλους. Ακουσαντες δε ειπον? Μη γενοιτο. | 16 He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!" |
| 17 Ο δε εμβλεψας εις αυτους ειπε? Τι λοιπον ειναι τουτο το γεγραμμενον, Ο λιθος, τον οποιον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας; | 17 But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner? |
| 18 Πας οστις πεση επι τον λιθον εκεινον θελει συντριφθη? εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον. | 18 Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one it will crush him." |
| 19 Και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις να βαλωσιν επ' αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα, πλην εφοβηθησαν τον λαον? διοτι ηνοησαν οτι προς αυτους ειπε την παραβολην ταυτην. | 19 The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them. |
| 20 Και παραφυλαξαντες απεστειλαν ενεδρευτας, υποκρινομενους οτι ειναι δικαιοι, επι σκοπω να πιασωσιν αυτον απο λογου, δια να παραδωσωσιν αυτον εις την αρχην και εις την εξουσιαν του ηγεμονος. | 20 So they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might take hold of what he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor. |
| 21 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες? Διδασκαλε, εξευρομεν οτι ορθως ομιλεις και διδασκεις και δεν βλεπεις εις προσωπον, αλλ' επ' αληθειας την οδον του Θεου διδασκεις? | 21 They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. |
| 22 ειναι συγκεχωρημενον εις ημας να δωσωμεν φορον εις τον Καισαρα η ουχι; | 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" |
| 23 Εννοησας δε την πανουργιαν αυτων, ειπε προς αυτους? Τι με πειραζετε; | 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, |
| 24 δειξατε μοι δηναριον? τινος εικονα εχει και επιγραφην; Και αποκριθεντες ειπον? Του Καισαρος. | 24 "Show me a coin. Whose likeness and inscription has it?" They said, "Caesars." |
| 25 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Αποδοτε λοιπον τα του Καισαρος εις τον Καισαρα και τα του Θεου εις τον Θεον. | 25 He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods." |
| 26 Και δεν ηδυνηθησαν να πιασωσιν αυτον απο λογου εμπροσθεν του λαου, και θαυμασαντες δια την αποκρισιν αυτου εσιωπησαν. | 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said; but marveling at his answer they were silent. |
| 27 Προσελθοντες δε τινες των Σαδδουκαιων, οιτινες αρνουνται οτι ειναι αναστασις, ηρωτησαν αυτον, | 27 There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection, |
| 28 λεγοντες? Διδασκαλε, ο Μωυσης μας εγραψεν? Εαν τινος ο αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα, και ουτος αποθανη ατεκνος, να λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα και να εξαναστηση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου. | 28 and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother. |
| 29 Ησαν λοιπον επτα αδελφοι? και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα, απεθανεν ατεκνος? | 29 Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children; |
| 30 και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα, και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος? | 30 and the second |
| 31 και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην? ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα? και δεν αφηκαν τεκνα, και απεθανον. | 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. |
| 32 Υστερον δε παντων απεθανε και η γυνη. | 32 Afterward the woman also died. |
| 33 Εν τη αναστασει λοιπον τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη; διοτι και οι επτα ελαβον αυτην γυναικα. | 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife." |
| 34 Και ο Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου νυμφευουσι και νυμφευονται? | 34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage; |
| 35 οι δε καταξιωθεντες να απολαυσωσιν εκεινον τον αιωνα και την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν ουτε νυμφευουσιν ουτε νυμφευονται? | 35 but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, |
| 36 διοτι ουτε να αποθανωσι πλεον δυνανται? επειδη ειναι ισαγγελοι και ειναι υιοι του Θεου, οντες υιοι της αναστασεως. | 36 for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. |
| 37 Οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι, και ο Μωυσης εφανερωσεν επι της βατου, οτε λεγει Κυριον τον Θεον του Αβρααμ και τον Θεον του Ισαακ και τον Θεον του Ιακωβ. | 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. |
| 38 Ο δε Θεος δεν ειναι νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων? διοτι παντες ζωσι εν αυτω. | 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him." |
| 39 Αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον? Διδασκαλε, καλως ειπας. | 39 And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well." |
| 40 Και δεν ετολμων πλεον να ερωτωσιν αυτον ουδεν. | 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question. |
| 41 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Πως λεγουσι τον Χριστον οτι ειναι υιος του Δαβιδ; | 41 But he said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is David's son? |
| 42 Και αυτος ο Δαβιδ λεγει εν τη βιβλω των ψαλμων? Ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Κυριον μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου, | 42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, |
| 43 εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου. | 43 till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet.' |
| 44 Ο Δαβιδ λοιπον ονομαζει αυτον Κυριον? και πως ειναι υιος αυτου; | 44 David thus calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" |
| 45 Και ενω ηκουε πας ο λαος, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου? | 45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, |
| 46 Προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων, οιτινες θελουσι να περιπατωσιν εστολισμενοι και αγαπωσιν ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους πρωτους τοπους εν τοις δειπνοις, | 46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, |
| 47 οιτινες κατατρωγουσι τας οικιας των χηρων, και τουτο επι προφασει οτι καμνουσι μακρας προσευχας? ουτοι θελουσι λαβει μεγαλητεραν καταδικην. | 47 who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." |
