Vangelo secondo Luca - Luke 20

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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 Now it happened that one day while he was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming thegood news, the chief priests and the scribes came up, together with the elders,
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 spoke to him. 'Tel us,' they said, 'what authority have you for acting like this? Or who gives youthis authority?'
3 Αποκριθεις δε ειπε προς αυτους? Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, και ειπατε μοι?	3 In reply he said to them, 'And I will ask you a question, just one. Tel me:
4 το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ητο η εξ ανθρωπων;	4 John's baptism: what was its origin, heavenly or human?'
5 Οι δε εσυλλογισθησαν καθ' εαυτους λεγοντες, οτι Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει, Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον;	5 And they debated this way among themselves, 'If we say heavenly, he will retort, "Why did you refuseto believe him?";
6 Εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, πας ο λαος θελει μας λιθοβολησει? επειδη ειναι πεπεισμενοι οτι ο Ιωαννης ειναι προφητης.	6 and if we say human, the whole people wil stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.'
7 Και απεκριθησαν οτι δεν εξευρουσι ποθεν ητο.	7 So their reply was that they did not know where it came from.
8 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Ουδε εγω σας λεγω εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.	8 And Jesus said to them, 'Nor wil I tell you my authority for acting like this.'
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 went on to tel the people this parable, 'A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenants, andwent abroad 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 right time came, he sent a servant to the tenants to get his share of the produce of thevineyard. But the tenants thrashed him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Και παλιν επεμψεν αλλον δουλον. Πλην αυτοι δειραντες και εκεινον και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον.	11 But he went on to send a second servant; they thrashed him too and treated him shamefully and senthim away empty-handed.
12 Και παλιν επεμψε τριτον. Αλλ' εκεινοι και τουτον πληγωσαντες απεδιωξαν.	12 He still went on to send a third; they wounded this one too, and threw him 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 thought, "What am I to do? I wil send them my own beloved son.Perhaps they wil 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 put their heads together saying, "This is the heir, let us kil him sothat the inheritance wil be ours."
15 Και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος, εφονευσαν? Τι λοιπον θελει καμει εις αυτους ο κυριος του αμπελωνος;	15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 'Now what wil the owner of the vineyard do tothem?
16 Θελει ελθει και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους, και θελει δωσει τον αμπελωνα εις αλλους. Ακουσαντες δε ειπον? Μη γενοιτο.	16 He wil come and make an end of these tenants and give the vineyard to others.' Hearing this theysaid, '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 hard at them and said, 'Then what does this text in the scriptures mean: The stonewhich the builders rejected has become the cornerstone?
18 Πας οστις πεση επι τον λιθον εκεινον θελει συντριφθη? εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον.	18 Anyone who fal s on that stone will be dashed to pieces; anyone it fal s on wil be crushed.'
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 And the scribes and the chief priests would have liked to lay hands on him that very moment,because they realised that this parable was aimed at them, but they were afraid of the people.
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 awaited their opportunity and sent agents to pose as upright men, and to catch him out insomething he might say and so enable them to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority 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 put to him this question, 'Master, we know that you say and teach what is right; you favour noone, but teach the way of God in al honesty.
22 ειναι συγκεχωρημενον εις ημας να δωσωμεν φορον εις τον Καισαρα η ουχι;	22 Is it permissible for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?'
23 Εννοησας δε την πανουργιαν αυτων, ειπε προς αυτους? Τι με πειραζετε;	23 But he was aware of their cunning and said,
24 δειξατε μοι δηναριον? τινος εικονα εχει και επιγραφην; Και αποκριθεντες ειπον? Του Καισαρος.	24 'Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and title are on it?' They said, 'Caesar's.'
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, 'Well then, pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar -- and God what belongs to God.'
26 Και δεν ηδυνηθησαν να πιασωσιν αυτον απο λογου εμπροσθεν του λαου, και θαυμασαντες δια την αποκρισιν αυτου εσιωπησαν.	26 They were unable to catch him out in anything he had to say in public; they were amazed at hisanswer and were silenced.
27 Προσελθοντες δε τινες των Σαδδουκαιων, οιτινες αρνουνται οτι ειναι αναστασις, ηρωτησαν αυτον,	27 Some Sadducees -- those who argue that there is no resurrection -- approached him and they putthis question to him,
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 'Master, Moses prescribed for us, if a man's married brother dies childless, the man must marry thewidow to raise up children for his brother.
29 Ησαν λοιπον επτα αδελφοι? και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα, απεθανεν ατεκνος?	29 Wel then, there were seven brothers; the first, having married a wife, died childless.
30 και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα, και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος?	30 The second
31 και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην? ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα? και δεν αφηκαν τεκνα, και απεθανον.	31 and then the third married the widow. And the same with al seven, they died leaving no children.
32 Υστερον δε παντων απεθανε και η γυνη.	32 Finally the woman herself died.
33 Εν τη αναστασει λοιπον τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη; διοτι και οι επτα ελαβον αυτην γυναικα.	33 Now, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since she had been married to all seven?'
34 Και ο Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου νυμφευουσι και νυμφευονται?	34 Jesus replied, 'The children of this world take wives and husbands,
35 οι δε καταξιωθεντες να απολαυσωσιν εκεινον τον αιωνα και την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν ουτε νυμφευουσιν ουτε νυμφευονται?	35 but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the deaddo not marry
36 διοτι ουτε να αποθανωσι πλεον δυνανται? επειδη ειναι ισαγγελοι και ειναι υιοι του Θεου, οντες υιοι της αναστασεως.	36 because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels, and being children of theresurrection they are children of God.
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 And Moses himself implies that the dead rise again, in the passage about the bush where he cal s theLord the God of Abraham, 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 God, not of the dead, but of the living; for to him everyone is alive.'
39 Αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον? Διδασκαλε, καλως ειπας.	39 Some scribes then spoke up. They said, 'Wel put, Master.'
40 Και δεν ετολμων πλεον να ερωτωσιν αυτον ουδεν.	40 They did not dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Πως λεγουσι τον Χριστον οτι ειναι υιος του Δαβιδ;	41 He then said to them, 'How can people maintain that the Christ is son of David?
42 Και αυτος ο Δαβιδ λεγει εν τη βιβλω των ψαλμων? Ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Κυριον μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου,	42 Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms: The Lord declared to my Lord, take your seat at myright hand,
43 εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου.	43 til I have made your enemies your footstool.
44 Ο Δαβιδ λοιπον ονομαζει αυτον Κυριον? και πως ειναι υιος αυτου;	44 David here cal s him Lord; how then can he be his son?'
45 Και ενω ηκουε πας ο λαος, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου?	45 While al the people were listening he said to the 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 walk about in long robes and love to be greeted respectfully in themarket squares, to take the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honour at banquets,
47 οιτινες κατατρωγουσι τας οικιας των χηρων, και τουτο επι προφασει οτι καμνουσι μακρας προσευχας? ουτοι θελουσι λαβει μεγαλητεραν καταδικην.	47 who devour the property of widows, and for show offer long prayers. The more severe will be thesentence they receive.'
