Matthew 11

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples he moved on from there to teach and preachin 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 Now John had heard in prison what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him,	2 Ο δε Ιωαννης, ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του Χριστου, επεμψε δυο των μαθητων αυτου,
3 'Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?'	3 και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο ερχομενος, η αλλον προσδοκωμεν;
4 Jesus answered, 'Go back and tel 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 see again, and the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin-diseases are cleansed, andthe deaf hear, the dead are raised to life and the good news is proclaimed to the poor;	5 τυφλοι αναβλεπουσι και χωλοι περιπατουσι, λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσι, νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται?
6 and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.'	6 και μακαριος ειναι οστις δεν σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι.
7 As the men were leaving, Jesus began to talk to the people about John, 'What did you go out into thedesert to see? A reed swaying in the breeze? No?	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? A man wearing fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothes areto be found in palaces.	8 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; ανθρωπον ενδεδυμενον μαλακα ιματια; ιδου, οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων ευρισκονται.
9 Then what did you go out for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet:	9 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; προφητην; ναι, σας λεγω, και περισσοτερον προφητου.
10 he is the one of whom scripture says: Look, I am going to send my messenger in front of you toprepare 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 'In truth I tel you, of al the children born to women, there has never been anyone greater than Johnthe 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 Since John the Baptist came, up to this present time, the kingdom of Heaven has been subjected toviolence and the violent are taking it by storm.	12 Απο δε των ημερων Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως του νυν η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται, και οι βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην.
13 Because it was towards John that al the prophecies of the prophets and of the Law were leading;	13 Διοτι παντες οι προφηται και ο νομος εως Ιωαννου προεφητευσαν.
14 and he, if you wil believe me, is the Elijah who was to return.	14 Και αν θελητε να δεχθητε τουτο, αυτος ειναι ο Ηλιας, οστις εμελλε να ελθη.
15 Anyone who has ears should listen!	15 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.
16 'What comparison can I find for this generation? It is like children shouting to each other as they sit inthe market place:	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 pipes for you, and you wouldn't dance; we sang dirges, and you wouldn't bemourners.	17 και λεγοντα? Αυλον σας επαιξαμεν, και δεν εχορευσατε, σας εθρηνωδησαμεν, και δεν εκλαυσατε.
18 'For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, "He is possessed."	18 Διοτι ηλθεν ο Ιωαννης μητε τρωγων μητε πινων, και λεγουσι? Δαιμονιον εχει.
19 The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend oftax col ectors and sinners." Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.'	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 in which most of his miracles had been worked, because theyrefused to repent.	20 Τοτε ηρχισε να ονειδιζη τας πολεις εν αις εγειναν τα πλειοτερα θαυματα αυτου, διοτι δεν μετενοησαν?
21 'Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done inTyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago 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 Stil , I tel you that it wil be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on Judgement Day 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, did you want to be raised as high as heaven? You shal be flung down tohell. For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been standing yet.	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 Stil , I tel you that it wil be more bearable for Sodom on Judgement Day 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 exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding thesethings from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.	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, for that is what it pleased you to do.	26 ναι, ω Πατερ, διοτι ουτως εγεινεν αρεστον εμπροσθεν σου.
27 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father,just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses 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, al you who labour and are overburdened, and I wil give you rest.	28 Ελθετε προς με, παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι, και εγω θελω σας αναπαυσει.
29 Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you wil find rest foryour souls.	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 Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.'	30 διοτι ο ζυγος μου ειναι καλος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον.
