Luke 9

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 He cal ed the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases,	1 Συγκαλεσας δε τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου, εδωκεν εις αυτους δυναμιν και εξουσιαν κατα παντων των δαιμονιων και να θεραπευωσι νοσους?
2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.	2 και απεστειλεν αυτους δια να κηρυττωσι την βασιλειαν του Θεου και να ιατρευωσι τους ασθενουντας,
3 He said to them, 'Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; anddo not have a spare tunic.	3 και ειπε προς αυτους? Μη βασταζετε μηδεν εις την οδον, μητε ραβδους μητε σακκιον μητε αρτον μητε αργυριον μητε να εχητε ανα δυο χιτωνας.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there.	4 Και εις ηντινα οικιαν εισελθητε, εκει μενετε και εκειθεν εξερχεσθε.
5 As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet asevidence against them.'	5 Και οσοι δεν σας δεχθωσιν, εξερχομενοι απο της πολεως εκεινης αποτιναξατε και τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων σας δια μαρτυριαν κατ' αυτων.
6 So they set out and went from village to vil age proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.	6 Εξερχομενοι δε διηρχοντο απο κωμης εις κωμην, κηρυττοντες το ευαγγελιον και θεραπευοντες πανταχου.
7 Meanwhile Herod the tetrarch had heard about al that was going on; and he was puzzled, becausesome people were saying that John had risen from the dead,	7 Ηκουσε δε Ηρωδης ο τετραρχης παντα τα γινομενα υπ' αυτου, και ητο εν απορια, διοτι ελεγετο υπο τινων οτι ο Ιωαννης ανεστη εκ νεκρων?
8 others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.	8 υπο τινων δε οτι ο Ηλιας εφανη, υπ' αλλων δε, οτι ανεστη εις των αρχαιων προφητων.
9 But Herod said, 'John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?' And he was anxiousto see him.	9 Και ειπεν ο Ηρωδης? Τον Ιωαννην εγω απεκεφαλισα? τις δε ειναι ουτος, περι του οποιου εγω ακουω τοιαυτα; και εζητει να ιδη αυτον.
10 On their return the apostles gave him an account of al they had done. Then he took them with him andwithdrew towards a town called Bethsaida where they could be by themselves.	10 Και υποστρεψαντες οι αποστολοι, διηγηθησαν προς αυτον οσα επραξαν. Και παραλαβων αυτους απεσυρθη κατ' ιδιαν εις τοπον ερημον πολεως τινος ονομαζομενης Βηθσαιδα.
11 But the crowds got to know and they went after him. He made them welcome and talked to them aboutthe kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing.	11 Οι δε οχλοι νοησαντες ηκολουθησαν αυτον, και δεχθεις αυτους ελαλει προς αυτους περι της βασιλειας του Θεου, και τους εχοντας χρειαν θεραπειας ιατρευεν.
12 It was late afternoon when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they cango to the vil ages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here.'	12 Η δε ημερα ηρχισε να κλινη? και προσελθοντες οι δωδεκα, ειπον προς αυτον? Απολυσον τον οχλον, δια να υπαγωσιν εις τας περιξ κωμας και τους αγρους και να καταλυσωσι και να ευρωσι τροφας, διοτι εδω ειμεθα εν ερημω τοπω.
13 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five loavesand two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for al these people.'	13 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Δοτε σεις εις αυτους να φαγωσιν. Οι δε ειπον? ημεις δεν εχομεν πλειοτερον παρα πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας, εκτος εαν υπαγωμεν ημεις και αγορασωμεν τροφας δι' ολον τον λαον τουτον?
14 For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in parties ofabout fifty.'	14 διοτι ησαν ως πεντακισχιλιοι ανδρες? και ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου? Καθισατε αυτους κατα αθροισματα ανα πεντηκοντα.
15 They did so and made them al sit down.	15 Και επραξαν ουτω, και εκαθησαν απαντας.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing overthem; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd.	16 Λαβων δε τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας, ανεβλεψεν εις τον ουρανον και ευλογησεν αυτους και κατεκοψε, και εδιδεν εις τους μαθητας δια να βαλλωσιν εμπροσθεν του οχλου.
17 They al ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were col ected they fil ed twelvebaskets.	17 Και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν παντες, και εσηκωθη το περισσευσαν εις αυτους εκ των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινια.
18 Now it happened that he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question tothem, 'Who do the crowds say I am?'	18 Και ενω αυτος προσηυχετο καταμονας, ησαν μετ' αυτου οι μαθηται, και ηρωτησεν αυτους λεγων? τινα με λεγουσιν οι οχλοι οτι ειμαι;
19 And they answered, 'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancientprophets come back to life.'	19 οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπον? Ιωαννην τον Βαπτιστην, αλλοι δε Ηλιαν, αλλοι δε οτι ανεστη τις των αρχαιων προφητων.
20 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' hesaid.	20 Ειπε δε προς αυτους? Σεις δε τινα με λεγετε οτι ειμαι; και αποκριθεις ο Πετρος ειπε? Τον Χριστον του Θεου.
21 But he gave them strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone.	21 Ο δε προσεταξεν αυτους σφοδρως και παρηγγειλε να μη ειπωσιν εις μηδενα τουτο,
22 He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priestsand scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'	22 ειπων οτι πρεπει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παθη πολλα και να καταφρονηθη απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων, και να θανατωθη και τη τριτη ημερα να αναστηθη.
23 Then, speaking to al , he said, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, let him renounce himself andtake up his cross every day and fol ow me.	23 Ελεγε δε προς παντας? Εαν τις θελη να ελθη οπισω μου, ας απαρνηθη εαυτον και ας σηκωση τον σταυρον αυτου καθ' ημεραν και ας με ακολουθη.
24 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, wil save it.	24 Διοτι οστις θελει να σωση την ζωην αυτου, θελει απολεσει αυτην? και οστις απολεση την ζωην αυτου ενεκεν ομου, ουτος θελει σωσει αυτην.
25 What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self?	25 Επειδη τι ωφελειται ο ανθρωπος, εαν κερδηση τον κοσμον ολον, εαυτον δε απολεση η ζημιωθη;
26 For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man wil be ashamed when hecomes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.	26 Διοτι οστις επαισχυνθη δι' εμε και τους λογους μου, δια τουτον ο Υιος του ανθρωπου θελει επαισχυνθη, οταν ελθη εν τη δοξη αυτου και του Πατρος και των αγιων αγγελων.
27 'I tel you truly, there are some standing here who wil not taste death before they see the kingdom ofGod.'	27 Λεγω δε προς εσας αληθως, Ειναι τινες των εδω ισταμενων, οιτινες δεν θελουσι γευθη θανατον, εωσου ιδωσι την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
28 Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went upthe mountain to pray.	28 Μετα δε τους λογους τουτους παρηλθον εως οκτω ημεραι, και παραλαβων τον Πετρον και Ιωαννην και Ιακωβον, ανεβη εις το ορος δια να προσευχηθη.
29 And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing becamesparkling white.	29 Και ενω προσηυχετο, ηλλοιωθη η οψις του προσωπου αυτου και τα ιματια αυτου εγειναν λευκα εξαστραπτοντα.
30 And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah	30 και ιδου, ανδρες δυο συνελαλουν μετ' αυτου, οιτινες ησαν Μωυσης και Ηλιας,
31 appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.	31 οιτινες φανεντες εν δοξη, ελεγον τον θανατον αυτου, τον οποιον εμελλε να εκπληρωση εν Ιερουσαλημ.
32 Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two menstanding with him.	32 Ο δε Πετρος και οι μετ' αυτου ησαν βεβαρημενοι υπο του υπνου? και οτε εξυπνησαν, ειδον την δοξαν αυτου και τους δυο ανδρας τους ισταμενους μετ' αυτου.
33 As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let usmake three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying.	33 Και ενω αυτοι εχωριζοντο απ' αυτου, ειπεν ο Πετρος προς τον Ιησουν? Επιστατα, καλον ειναι να ημεθα εδω? και ας καμωμεν τρεις σκηνας, μιαν δια σε και δια τον Μωυσην μιαν και μιαν δια τον Ηλιαν, μη εξευρων τι λεγει.
34 As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into thecloud the disciples were afraid.	34 Ενω δε αυτος ελεγε ταυτα, ηλθε νεφελη και επεσκιασεν αυτους? και εφοβηθησαν οτε εισηλθον εις την νεφελην?
35 And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.'	35 και εγεινε φωνη εκ της νεφελης, λεγουσα? Ουτος ειναι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος? αυτου ακουετε.
36 And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time,told no one what they had seen.	36 Και αφου εγεινεν η φωνη, ευρεθη ο Ιησους μονος? και αυτοι εσιωπησαν και προς ουδενα ειπον εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ουδεν εξ οσων ειδον.
37 Now it happened that on the fol owing day when they were coming down from the mountain a largecrowd came to meet him.	37 Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν, οτε κατεβησαν απο του ορους, υπηντησεν αυτον οχλος πολυς.
38 And suddenly a man in the crowd cried out. 'Master,' he said, 'I implore you to look at my son: he is myonly child.	38 Και ιδου, ανθρωπος τις εκ του οχλου ανεκραξε, λεγων? Διδασκαλε, δεομαι σου, επιβλεψον επι τον υιον μου, διοτι μονογενης μου ειναι?
39 A spirit wil suddenly take hold of him, and all at once it gives a sudden cry and throws the boy intoconvulsions with foaming at the mouth; it is slow to leave him, but when it does, it leaves the boy worn out.	39 και ιδου, δαιμονιον πιανει αυτον, και εξαιφνης κραζει και σπαραττει αυτον μετα αφρου, και μολις αναχωρει απ' αυτου, συντριβον αυτον?
40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, and they could not.'	40 και παρεκαλεσα τους μαθητας σου δια να εκβαλωσιν αυτο, και δεν ηδυνηθησαν.
41 In reply Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be among you andput up with you? Bring your son here.'	41 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους, ειπεν? Ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη, εως ποτε θελω εισθαι μεθ' υμων και θελω υπομενει υμας; φερε τον υιον σου εδω.
42 Even while the boy was coming, the devil threw him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebukedthe unclean spirit and cured the boy and gave him back to his father,	42 Και ενω αυτος ετι προσηρχετο, ερριψεν αυτον κατω το δαιμονιον και κατεσπαραξεν? ο δε Ιησους επετιμησε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον και ιατρευσε το παιδιον και απεδωκεν αυτο εις τον πατερα αυτου.
43 and everyone was awestruck by the greatness of God. But while everyone was ful of admiration for alhe did, he said to his disciples,	43 Εξεπληττοντο δε παντες επι την μεγαλειοτητα του Θεου. Και ενω παντες εθαυμαζον δια παντα οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου?
44 'For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be deliveredinto the power of men.'	44 Βαλετε σεις εις τα ωτα σας τους λογους τουτους? διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει να παραδοθη εις χειρας ανθρωπων.
45 But they did not understand what he said; it was hidden from them so that they should not see themeaning of it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.	45 Εκεινοι ομως δεν ενοουν τον λογον τουτον, και ητο αποκεκρυμμενος απ' αυτων, δια να μη νοησωσιν αυτον, και εφοβουντο να ερωτησωσιν αυτον περι του λογου τουτου.
46 An argument started between them about which of them was the greatest.	46 Εισηλθε δε εις αυτους διαλογισμος, τις ταχα εξ αυτων ητο μεγαλητερος.
47 Jesus knew what thoughts were going through their minds, and he took a little child whom he set byhis side	47 Ο δε Ιησους, ιδων τον διαλογισμον της καρδιας αυτων, επιασε παιδιον και εστησεν αυτο πλησιον εαυτου
48 and then he said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; andanyone who welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. The least among you all is the one who is thegreatest.'	48 και ειπε προς αυτους? Οστις δεχθη τουτο το παιδιον εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται, και οστις δεχθη εμε, δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με? διοτι ο υπαρχων μικροτερος μεταξυ παντων υμων ουτος θελει εισθαι μεγας.
49 John spoke up. 'Master,' he said, 'we saw someone driving out devils in your name, and because he isnot with us we tried to stop him.'	49 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιωαννης, ειπεν? Επιστατα, ειδομεν τινα εκβαλλοντα τα δαιμονια εν τω ονοματι σου, και ημποδισαμεν αυτον, διοτι δεν ακολουθει μεθ' ημων.
50 But Jesus said to him, 'You must not stop him: anyone who is not against you is for you.'	50 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Μη εμποδιζετε? διοτι οστις δεν ειναι καθ' ημων, ειναι υπερ ημων.
51 Now it happened that as the time drew near for him to be taken up, he resolutely turned his facetowards Jerusalem	51 Και οτε συνεπληρουντο αι ημεραι δια να αναληφθη, τοτε αυτος εκαμε στερεαν αποφασιν να υπαγη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
52 and sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan vil age to makepreparations for him,	52 Και απεστειλεν εμπροσθεν αυτου μηνυτας, οιτινες πορευθεντες εισηλθον εις κωμην Σαμαρειτων, δια να καμωσιν ετοιμασιαν εις αυτον.
53 but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem.	53 Και δεν εδεχθησαν αυτον, διοτι εφαινετο οτι επορευετο εις Ιερουσαλημ.
54 Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, 'Lord, do you want us to cal down fire from heaven toburn them up?'	54 Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωαννης, ειπον? Κυριε, θελεις να ειπωμεν να καταβη πυρ απο του ουρανου και να αφανιση αυτους, καθως και ο Ηλιας εκαμε;
55 But he turned and rebuked them,	55 Στραφεις δε επεπληξεν αυτους και ειπε? δεν εξευρετε ποιου πνευματος εισθε σεις?
56 and they went on to another village.	56 διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν ηλθε να απολεση ψυχας ανθρωπων, αλλα να σωση. Και υπηγον εις αλλην κωμην.
57 As they travel ed along they met a man on the road who said to him, 'I wil fol ow you wherever you go.'	57 Ενω δε επορευοντο, ειπε τις προς αυτον καθ' οδον? Θελω σε ακολουθησει οπου αν υπαγης, Κυριε.
58 Jesus answered, 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hasnowhere to lay his head.'	58 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αι αλωπεκες εχουσι φωλεας και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατοικιας, ο δε Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν εχει που να κλινη την κεφαλην.
59 Another to whom he said, 'Fol ow me,' replied, 'Let me go and bury my father first.'	59 Ειπε δε προς αλλον? Ακολουθει μοι. Ο δε ειπε? Κυριε, συγχωρησον μοι να υπαγω πρωτον να θαψω τον πατερα μου.
60 But he answered, 'Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of thekingdom of God.'	60 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Αφες τους νεκρους να θαψωσι τους εαυτων νεκρους? συ δε απελθων κηρυττε την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
61 Another said, 'I wil fol ow you, sir, but first let me go and say good -- bye to my people at home.'	61 Ειπε δε και αλλος? θελω σε ακολουθησει, Κυριε? πρωτον ομως συγχωρησον μοι να αποχαιρετησω τους εις τον οικον μου.
62 Jesus said to him, 'Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom ofGod.'	62 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Ουδεις βαλων την χειρα αυτου επι αροτρον και βλεπων εις τα οπισω ειναι αρμοδιος δια την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
