Matthew 21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,	1 Και οτε επλησιασαν εις Ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εις Βηθφαγη προς το ορος των ελαιων, τοτε ο Ιησους απεστειλε δυο μαθητας,
2 saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me.	2 λεγων προς αυτους? Υπαγετε εις την κωμην την απεναντι υμων, και ευθυς θελετε ευρει ονον δεδεμενην και πωλαριον μετ' αυτης? λυσατε και φερετε μοι.
3 If any one says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and he will send them immediately."	3 Και εαν τις σας ειπη τι, θελετε ειπει οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτων? και ευθυς θελει αποστειλει αυτα.
4 This took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet, saying,	4 Τουτο δε ολον εγεινε δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος?
5 "Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of an ass."	5 Ειπατε προς την θυγατερα Σιων, Ιδου, ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται προς σε πραυς και καθημενος επι ονου και πωλου υιου υποζυγιου.
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them;	6 Πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως προσεταξεν αυτους ο Ιησους,
7 they brought the ass and the colt, and put their garments on them, and he sat thereon.	7 εφεραν την ονον και το πωλαριον, και εβαλον επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων και επεκαθισαν αυτον επανω αυτων.
8 Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.	8 Ο δε περισσοτερος οχλος εστρωσαν τα ιματια εαυτων εις την οδον, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωνον εις την οδον.
9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"	9 Οι δε οχλοι οι προπορευομενοι και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον, λεγοντες? Ωσαννα τω υιω Δαβιδ? ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου? Ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"	10 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, εσεισθη πασα η πολις, λεγουσα? Τις ειναι ουτος;
11 And the crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee."	11 Οι δε οχλοι ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι Ιησους ο προφητης ο απο Ναζαρετ της Γαλιλαιας.
12 And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.	12 Και εισηλθεν ο Ιησους εις το ιερον του Θεου και εξεβαλε παντας τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των αργυραμοιβων ανετρεψε και τα καθισματα των πωλουντων τας περιστερας,
13 He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer'; but you make it a den of robbers."	13 και λεγει προς αυτους? Ειναι γεγραμμενον, Ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης θελει ονομαζεσθαι; σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.	14 Και προσηλθον προς αυτον τυφλοι και χωλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant;	15 Ιδοντες δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις τα θαυμασια, τα οποια εκαμε, και τους παιδας κραζοντας εν τω ιερω και λεγοντας, Ωσαννα τω υιω Δαβιδ, ηγανακτησαν
16 and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast brought perfect praise'?"	16 και ειπον προς αυτον? Ακουεις τι λεγουσιν ουτοι; Ο δε Ιησους λεγει προς αυτους? Ναι? ποτε δεν ανεγνωσατε οτι εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων ητοιμασας αινεσιν;
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.	17 Και αφησας αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις Βηθανιαν και διενυκτερευσεν εκει.
18 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.	18 Οτε δε το πρωι επεστρεφεν εις την πολιν, επεινασε?
19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once.	19 και ιδων μιαν συκην επι της οδου, ηλθε προς αυτην και ουδεν ηυρεν επ' αυτην ειμη φυλλα μονον, και λεγει προς αυτην? να μη γεινη πλεον απο σου καρπος εις τον αιωνα. Και παρευθυς εξηρανθη η συκη.
20 When the disciples saw it they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"	20 Και ιδοντες οι μαθηται, εθαυμασαν λεγοντες? Πως παρευθυς εξηρανθη συκη;
21 And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will be done.	21 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Αληθως σας λεγω, εαν εχητε πιστιν και δεν διστασητε, ουχι μονον το της συκης θελετε καμει, αλλα και εις το ορος τουτο αν ειπητε, Σηκωθητι και ριφθητι εις την θαλασσαν, θελει γεινει?
22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."	22 και παντα οσα αν ζητησητε εν τη προσευχη εχοντες πιστιν θελετε λαβει.
23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"	23 Και οτε ηλθεν εις το ιερον, προσηλθον προς αυτον, ενω εδιδασκεν οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου, λεγοντες? Εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα, και τις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην;
24 Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you a question; and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.	24 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, τον οποιον εαν μοι ειπητε, και εγω θελω σας ειπει εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα?
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men?" And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'	25 το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου ποθεν ητο, εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων; Και εκεινοι διελογιζοντο καθ' εαυτους λεγοντες? Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει προς ημας, Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον?
26 But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet."	26 εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, φοβουμεθα τον οχλον? διοτι παντες εχουσι τον Ιωαννην ως προφητην.
27 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.	27 Και αποκριθεντες προς τον Ιησουν, ειπον? Δεν εξευρομεν. Ειπε προς αυτους και αυτος? Ουδε εγω λεγω προς υμας εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.
28 "What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'	28 Αλλα τι σας φαινεται; Ανθρωπος τις ειχε δυο υιους, και ελθων προς τον πρωτον ειπε? Τεκνον, υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου.
29 And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he repented and went.	29 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε? Δεν θελω? υστερον ομως μετανοησας υπηγε.
30 And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, 'I go, sir,' but did not go.	30 Και ελθων προς τον δευτερον ειπεν ωσαυτως. Και εκεινος αποκριθεις ειπεν? Εγω υπαγω, κυριε? και δεν υπηγε.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.	31 Τις εκ των δυο εκαμε το θελημα του πατρος; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Ο πρωτος. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Αληθως σας λεγω οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι υπαγουσι προτερον υμων εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.	32 Διοτι ηλθε προς υμας ο Ιωαννης εν οδω δικαιοσυνης, και δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον? οι τελωναι ομως και αι πορναι επιστευσαν εις αυτον? σεις δε ιδοντες δεν μετεμεληθητε υστερον, ωστε να πιστευσητε εις αυτον.
33 "Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.	33 Αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε. Ητο ανθρωπος τις οικοδεσποτης, οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και περιεβαλεν εις αυτον φραγμον και εσκαψεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησε πυργον, και εμισθωσεν αυτον εις γεωργους και απεδημησεν.
34 When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit;	34 Οτε δε επλησιασεν ο καιρος των καρπων, απεστειλε τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους δια να λαβωσι τους καρπους αυτου.
35 and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.	35 Και πιασαντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου, αλλον μεν εδειραν, αλλον δε εφονευσαν, αλλον δε ελιθοβολησαν.
36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them.	36 Παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειοτερους των πρωτων, και εκαμον εις αυτους ωσαυτως.
37 Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'	37 Υστερον δε απεστειλε προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων? Θελουσιν εντραπη τον υιον μου.
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.'	38 Αλλ' οι γεωργοι, ιδοντες τον υιον, ειπον προς αλληλους? Ουτος ειναι ο κληρονομος? ελθετε, ας φονευσωμεν αυτον και ας κατακρατησωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου.
39 And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.	39 Και πιασαντες αυτον, εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και εφονευσαν.
40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"	40 Οταν λοιπον ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος, τι θελει καμει εις τους γεωργους εκεινους;
41 They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."	41 Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Κακους κακως θελει απολεσει αυτους, και τον αμπελωνα θελει μισθωσει εις αλλους γεωργους, οιτινες θελουσιν αποδωσει εις αυτον τους καρπους εν τοις καιροις αυτων.
42 Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?	42 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ποτε δεν ανεγνωσατε εν ταις γραφαις, Ο λιθος, τον οποιον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας? παρα Κυριου εγεινεν αυτη και ειναι θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις υμων;
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.	43 Δια τουτο λεγω προς υμας οτι θελει αφαιρεθη αφ' υμων η βασιλεια του Θεου και θελει δοθη εις εθνος καμνον τους καρπους αυτης?
44 And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one, it will crush him."	44 και οστις πεση επι τον λιθον τουτον θελει συντριφθη? εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον.
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.	45 Και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου, ενοησαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει?
46 But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.	46 και ζητουντες να πιασωσιν αυτον, εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους, επειδη ειχον αυτον ως προφητην.
