Matthew 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, 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 ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose 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 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.	3 Και εαν τις σας ειπη τι, θελετε ειπει οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτων? και ευθυς θελει αποστειλει αυτα.
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:	4 Τουτο δε ολον εγεινε δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος?
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.	5 Ειπατε προς την θυγατερα Σιων, Ιδου, ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται προς σε πραυς και καθημενος επι ονου και πωλου υιου υποζυγιου.
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.	6 Πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως προσεταξεν αυτους ο Ιησους,
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.	7 εφεραν την ονον και το πωλαριον, και εβαλον επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων και επεκαθισαν αυτον επανω αυτων.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:	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 multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh 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 was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?	10 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, εσεισθη πασα η πολις, λεγουσα? Τις ειναι ουτος;
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.	11 Οι δε οχλοι ελεγον? Ουτος ειναι Ιησους ο προφητης ο απο Ναζαρετ της Γαλιλαιας.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:	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 And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.	13 και λεγει προς αυτους? Ειναι γεγραμμενον, Ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης θελει ονομαζεσθαι; σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.	14 Και προσηλθον προς αυτον τυφλοι και χωλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους.
15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.	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 said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected 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 into Bethania, and remained there.	17 Και αφησας αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις Βηθανιαν και διενυκτερευσεν εκει.
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.	18 Οτε δε το πρωι επεστρεφεν εις την πολιν, επεινασε?
19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.	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 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?	20 Και ιδοντες οι μαθηται, εθαυμασαν λεγοντες? Πως παρευθυς εξηρανθη συκη;
21 And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall 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 in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.	22 και παντα οσα αν ζητησητε εν τη προσευχη εχοντες πιστιν θελετε λαβει.
23 And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee 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 answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also 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? But they thought within themselves, saying:	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 If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.	26 εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, φοβουμεθα τον οχλον? διοτι παντες εχουσι τον Ιωαννην ως προφητην.
27 And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do 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 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard.	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 answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.	29 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε? Δεν θελω? υστερον ομως μετανοησας υπηγε.
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.	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 father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall 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 justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might 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 ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange 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 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.	34 Οτε δε επλησιασεν ο καιρος των καρπων, απεστειλε τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους δια να λαβωσι τους καρπους αυτου.
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and 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 former; and they did to them in like manner.	36 Παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειοτερους των πρωτων, και εκαμον εις αυτους ωσαυτως.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.	37 Υστερον δε απεστειλε προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων? Θελουσιν εντραπη τον υιον μου.
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall 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 taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.	39 Και πιασαντες αυτον, εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και εφονευσαν.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?	40 Οταν λοιπον ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος, τι θελει καμει εις τους γεωργους εκεινους;
41 They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.	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 saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful 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 say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.	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 whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.	44 και οστις πεση επι τον λιθον τουτον θελει συντριφθη? εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.	45 Και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου, ενοησαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει?
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.	46 και ζητουντες να πιασωσιν αυτον, εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους, επειδη ειχον αυτον ως προφητην.
