Matthew 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 He entered a boat, made the crossing, and came into his own town.	1 Και εμβας εις το πλοιον, διεπερασε και ηλθεν εις την εαυτου πολιν.
2 And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Courage, child, your sins are forgiven."	2 Και ιδου, εφερον προς αυτον παραλυτικον κειμενον επι κλινης? και ιδων ο Ιησους την πιστιν αυτων, ειπε προς τον παραλυτικον? Θαρρει, τεκνον? συγκεχωρημεναι ειναι εις σε αι αμαρτιαι σου.
3 At that, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."	3 Και ιδου, τινες εκ των γραμματεων ειπον καθ' εαυτους? Ουτος βλασφημει.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, "Why do you harbor evil thoughts?	4 Και ιδων ο Ιησους τους διαλογισμους αυτων, ειπε? Δια τι σεις διαλογιζεσθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις σας;
5 Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?	5 Διοτι τι ειναι ευκολωτερον, να ειπω, Συγκεχωρημεναι ειναι αι αμαρτιαι σου, η να ειπω, Εγερθητι και περιπατει;
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --he then said to the paralytic, "Rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home."	6 Αλλα δια να γνωρισητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης να συγχωρη αμαρτιας, τοτε λεγει προς τον παραλυτικον? Εγερθεις σηκωσον την κλινην σου και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου.
7 He rose and went home.	7 Και εγερθεις ανεχωρησεν εις τον οικον αυτου.
8 When the crowds saw this they were struck with awe and glorified God who had given such authority to human beings.	8 Ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι, εθαυμασαν και εδοξασαν τον Θεον, οστις εδωκε τοιαυτην εξουσιαν εις τους ανθρωπους.
9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.	9 Και διαβαινων ο Ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον εις το τελωνιον, Ματθαιον λεγομενον, και λεγει προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι. Και σηκωθεις ηκολουθησεν αυτον.
10 While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.	10 Και ενω εκαθητο εις την τραπεζαν εν τη οικια, ιδου, πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνεκαθηντο μετα του Ιησου και των μαθητων αυτου.
11 The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"	11 Και ιδοντες οι Φαρισαιοι ειπον προς τους μαθητας αυτου? Δια τι ο Διδασκαλος σας τρωγει μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων;
12 He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.	12 Ο δε Ιησους ακουσας ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν εχουσι χρειαν ιατρου οι υγιαινοντες, αλλ' οι πασχοντες.
13 Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."	13 Υπαγετε δε και μαθετε τι ειναι, Ελεον θελω και ουχι θυσιαν. Διοτι δεν ηλθον δια να καλεσω δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν.
14 Then the disciples of John approached him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast (much), but your disciples do not fast?"	14 Τοτε ερχονται προς αυτον οι μαθηται του Ιωαννου, λεγοντες? Δια τι ημεις και οι Φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν πολλα, οι δε μαθηται σου δεν νηστευουσι;
15 Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.	15 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Μηπως δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος να πενθωσιν, ενοσω ειναι μετ' αυτων ο νυμφιος; θελουσιν ομως ελθει ημεραι, οταν αφαιρεθη απ' αυτων ο νυμφιος, και τοτε θελουσι νηστευσει.
16 No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse.	16 Και ουδεις βαλλει επιρραμμα αγναφου πανιου επι ιματιον παλαιον? διοτι αφαιρει το αναπληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου, και γινεται σχισμα χειροτερον.
17 People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."	17 Ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους? ει δε μη, σχιζονται οι ασκοι, και ο οινος εκχεεται και οι ασκοι φθειρονται? αλλα βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους νεους, και αμφοτερα διατηρουνται.
18 While he was saying these things to them, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live."	18 Ενω αυτος ελαλει ταυτα προς αυτους, ιδου, αρχων τις ελθων προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου ετελευτησε προ ολιγου? αλλα ελθε και βαλε την χειρα σου επ' αυτην και θελει ζησει.
19 Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.	19 Και σηκωθεις ο Ιησους ηκολουθησεν αυτον και οι μαθηται αυτου.
20 A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak.	20 Και ιδου, γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη, πλησιασασα οπισθεν ηγγισε το ακρον του ιματιου αυτου?
21 She said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."	21 διοτι ελεγε καθ' εαυτην, Εαν μονον εγγισω το ιματιον αυτου, θελω σωθη.
22 Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." And from that hour the woman was cured.	22 Ο δε Ιησους επιστραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπε? Θαρρει, θυγατερ? η πιστις σου σε εσωσε. Και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης.
23 When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion,	23 Και ελθων ο Ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον,
24 he said, "Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping." And they ridiculed him.	24 λεγει προς αυτους? Αναχωρειτε? διοτι δεν απεθανε το κορασιον, αλλα κοιμαται. Και κατεγελων αυτον.
25 When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.	25 Οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος, εισελθων επιασε την χειρα αυτης, και εσηκωθη το κορασιον.
26 And news of this spread throughout all that land.	26 Και διεδοθη η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην.
27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed (him), crying out, "Son of David, have pity on us!"	27 Και ενω ανεχωρει εκειθεν ο Ιησους, ηκολουθησαν αυτον δυο τυφλοι, κραζοντες και λεγοντες? Ελεησον ημας, υιε του Δαβιδ.
28 When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they said to him.	28 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, επλησιασαν εις αυτον οι τυφλοι, και λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι να καμω τουτο; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith."	29 Τοτε ηγγισε τους οφθαλμους αυτων, λεγων? Κατα την πιστιν σας ας γεινη εις εσας.
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."	30 Και ηνοιχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι? προσεταξε δε αυτους εντονως ο Ιησους, λεγων? Προσεχετε, ας μη εξευρη τουτο μηδεις.
31 But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.	31 Αλλ' εκεινοι εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη.
32 As they were going out, a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him,	32 Ενω δε αυτοι εξηρχοντο, ιδου, εφεραν προς αυτον ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον?
33 and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."	33 και αφου εξεβληθη το δαιμονιον, ελαλησεν ο κωφος, και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι, λεγοντες οτι ποτε δεν εφανη τοιουτον εν τω Ισραηλ.
34 But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons."	34 Οι δε Φαρισαιοι ελεγον? Δια του αρχοντος των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια.
35 Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.	35 Και περιηρχετο ο Ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας, διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυττων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν ασθενειαν εν τω λαω.
36 At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.	36 Ιδων δε τους οχλους, εσπλαγχνισθη δι' αυτους, διοτι ησαν εκλελυμενοι και εσκορπισμενοι ως προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα.
37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;	37 Τοτε λεγει προς τους μαθητας αυτου? Ο μεν θερισμος πολυς, οι δε εργαται ολιγοι?
38 so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."	38 παρακαλεσατε λοιπον τον κυριον του θερισμου, δια να αποστειλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου.
