Matthew 18

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the 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 unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,	2 Και προσκαλεσας ο Ιησους παιδιον, εστησεν αυτο εν τω μεσω αυτων
3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as 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 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the 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 he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.	5 Και οστις δεχθη εν τοιουτον παιδιον εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται?
6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth 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 the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.	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 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.	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 thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.	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 that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see 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 is come to save that which was lost.	11 Επειδη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ηλθε δια να σωση το απολωλος.
12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is 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 it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not 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 of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.	14 Ουτω δεν ειναι θελημα εμπροσθεν του Πατρος σας του εν ουρανοις να απολεσθη εις των μικρων τουτων.
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy 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 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.	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 hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.	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, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed 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 you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to 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 where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.	20 Διοτι οπου ειναι δυο η τρεις συνηγμενοι εις το ονομα μου, εκει ειμαι εγω εν τω μεσω αυτων.
21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till 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 saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.	22 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Δεν σοι λεγω εως επτακις, αλλ' εως εβδομηκοντακις επτα.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an 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 to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.	24 Και οτε ηρχισε να θεωρη, εφερθη προς αυτον εις οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων.
25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.	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 down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.	26 Πεσων λοιπον ο δουλος προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγων? Κυριε, μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.	27 Σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου, απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν εις αυτον.
28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.	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 down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.	29 Πεσων λοιπον ο συνδουλος αυτου εις τους ποδας αυτου, παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων? Μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid 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 very much grieved, and they came and told 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 said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:	32 Τοτε προσκαλεσας αυτον ο κυριος αυτου, λεγει προς αυτον? Δουλε πονηρε, παν το χρεος εκεινο σοι αφηκα, επειδη με παρεκαλεσας?
33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?	33 δεν επρεπε και συ να ελεησης τον συνδουλον σου, καθως και εγω σε ηλεησα;
34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.	34 Και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον εις τους βασανιστας, εωσου αποδωση παν το οφειλομενον εις αυτον.
35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one 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.
