Matthew 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Jesus finished giving these commands to his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.	1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους διαταττων εις τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου, μετεβη εκειθεν δια να διδασκη και να κηρυττη εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων.
2 When John heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him	2 Ο δε Ιωαννης, ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του Χριστου, επεμψε δυο των μαθητων αυτου,
3 with this question, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"	3 και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο ερχομενος, η αλλον προσδοκωμεν;
4 Jesus said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:	4 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Υπαγετε και απαγγειλατε προς τον Ιωαννην οσα ακουετε και βλεπετε?
5 the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.	5 τυφλοι αναβλεπουσι και χωλοι περιπατουσι, λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσι, νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται?
6 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."	6 και μακαριος ειναι οστις δεν σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι.
7 As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?	7 Ενω δε ουτοι ανεχωρουν, ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να λεγη προς τους οχλους περι του Ιωαννου? Τι εξηλθετε εις την ερημον να ιδητε; καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον;
8 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces.	8 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; ανθρωπον ενδεδυμενον μαλακα ιματια; ιδου, οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων ευρισκονται.
9 Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.	9 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; προφητην; ναι, σας λεγω, και περισσοτερον προφητου.
10 This is the one about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you.'	10 Διοτι ουτος ειναι, περι του οποιου ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ιδου, εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου, οστις θελει κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου.
11 Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.	11 Αληθως σας λεγω, μεταξυ των γεννηθεντων υπο γυναικων δεν ηγερθη μεγαλητερος Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου? πλην ο μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ειναι μεγαλητερος αυτου.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.	12 Απο δε των ημερων Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως του νυν η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται, και οι βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην.
13 All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John.	13 Διοτι παντες οι προφηται και ο νομος εως Ιωαννου προεφητευσαν.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come.	14 Και αν θελητε να δεχθητε τουτο, αυτος ειναι ο Ηλιας, οστις εμελλε να ελθη.
15 Whoever has ears ought to hear.	15 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.
16 "To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another,	16 Αλλα με τι να ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην; ειναι ομοια με παιδαρια καθημενα εν ταις αγοραις και φωναζοντα προς τους συντροφους αυτων,
17 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.'	17 και λεγοντα? Αυλον σας επαιξαμεν, και δεν εχορευσατε, σας εθρηνωδησαμεν, και δεν εκλαυσατε.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'	18 Διοτι ηλθεν ο Ιωαννης μητε τρωγων μητε πινων, και λεγουσι? Δαιμονιον εχει.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is vindicated by her works."	19 Ηλθεν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τρωγων και πινων, και λεγουσιν? Ιδου, ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης, φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων. Και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτης.
20 Then he began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented.	20 Τοτε ηρχισε να ονειδιζη τας πολεις εν αις εγειναν τα πλειοτερα θαυματα αυτου, διοτι δεν μετενοησαν?
21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.	21 Ουαι εις σε, Χοραζιν, ουαι εις σε, Βηθσαιδαν? διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν υμιν εγινοντο εν τη Τυρω και Σιδωνι προ πολλου ηθελον μετανοησει εν σακκω και σποδω.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.	22 Πλην σας λεγω εις την Τυρον και Σιδωνα ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις εσας.
23 And as for you, Capernaum: 'Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.' For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.	23 Και συ, Καπερναουμ, η υψωθεισα εως του ουρανου, θελεις καταβιβασθη εως αδου? διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν σοι εγινοντο εν Σοδομοις, ηθελον μεινει μεχρι της σημερον.
24 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."	24 Πλην σας λεγω, οτι εις την γην των Σοδομων ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις σε.
25 At that time Jesus said in reply, "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.	25 Εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε? Δοξαζω σε, Πατερ, κυριε του ουρανου και της γης, οτι απεκρυψας ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψας αυτα εις νηπια?
26 Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.	26 ναι, ω Πατερ, διοτι ουτως εγεινεν αρεστον εμπροσθεν σου.
27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.	27 Παντα παρεδοθησαν εις εμε απο του Πατρος μου? και ουδεις γινωσκει τον Υιον ει μη ο Πατηρ? ουδε τον Πατερα γινωσκει τις ειμη ο Υιος και εις οντινα θελει ο Υιος να αποκαλυψη αυτον.
28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.	28 Ελθετε προς με, παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι, και εγω θελω σας αναπαυσει.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves.	29 Αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ' υμας και μαθετε απ' εμου, διοτι πραος ειμαι και ταπεινος την καρδιαν, και θελετε ευρει αναπαυσιν εν ταις ψυχαις υμων?
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."	30 διοτι ο ζυγος μου ειναι καλος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον.
