Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 17

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και μεθ' ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει Ιησους τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναβιβαζει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ' ιδιαν?	1 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2 και μετεμορφωθη εμπροσθεν αυτων, και ελαμψε το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος, τα δε ιματια αυτου εγειναν λευκα ως το φως.	2 And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.
3 Και ιδου, εφανησαν εις αυτους Μωυσης και Ηλιας συλλαλουντες μετ' αυτου.	3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him.
4 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος ειπε προς τον Ιησουν? Κυριε, καλον ειναι να ημεθα εδω? εαν θελης, ας καμωμεν εδω τρεις σκηνας, δια σε μιαν και δια τον Μωυσην μιαν και μιαν δια τον Ηλιαν.	4 Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 Ενω αυτος ελαλει ετι, ιδου, νεφελη φωτεινη επεσκιασεν αυτους, και ιδου, φωνη εκ της νεφελης λεγουσα? Ουτος ειναι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εις τον οποιον ευηρεστηθην? αυτου ακουετε.	5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
6 Και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται επεσον κατα προσωπον αυτων και εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα.	6 When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid.
7 Και προσελθων ο Ιησους επιασεν αυτους και ειπεν? Εγερθητε και μη φοβεισθε.	7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and do not be afraid."
8 Υψωσαντες δε τους οφθαλμους αυτων, δεν ειδον ουδενα ειμη τον Ιησουν μονον.	8 And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
9 Και ενω κατεβαινον απο του ορους, παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους, λεγων? Μη ειπητε προς μηδενα το οραμα, εωσου ο Υιος του ανθρωπου αναστηθη εκ νεκρων.	9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, "Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
10 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Δια τι λοιπον λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι πρεπει να ελθη ο Ηλιας πρωτον;	10 Then the disciples asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11 Ο δε Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο Ηλιας μεν ερχεται πρωτον και θελει αποκαταστησει παντα?	11 He said in reply, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things;
12 σας λεγω ομως οτι ηλθεν ηδη ο Ηλιας, και δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον, αλλ' επραξαν εις αυτον οσα ηθελησαν? ουτω και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου μελλει να παθη υπ' αυτων.	12 but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands."
13 Τοτε ενοησαν οι μαθηται, οτι περι Ιωαννου του Βαπτιστου ειπε προς αυτους.	13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
14 Και οτε ηλθον προς τον οχλον, επλησιασεν εις αυτον ανθρωπος τις γονυπετων εις αυτον και λεγων?	14 When they came to the crowd a man approached, knelt down before him,
15 Κυριε, ελεησον μου τον υιον, διοτι σεληνιαζεται και κακως πασχει? διοτι πολλακις πιπτει εις το πυρ και πολλακις εις το υδωρ.	15 and said, "Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and suffers severely; often he falls into fire, and often into water.
16 Και εφερα αυτον προς τους μαθητας σου, αλλα δεν ηδυνηθησαν να θεραπευσωσιν αυτον.	16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him."
17 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπεν? Ω γενεα απιστος και διεστραμμενη, εως ποτε θελω εισθαι μεθ' υμων; εως ποτε θελω υποφερει υμας; φερετε μοι αυτον εδω.	17 Jesus said in reply, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me."
18 Και επετιμησεν αυτον ο Ιησους, και εξηλθεν απ' αυτου το δαιμονιον και εθεραπευθη το παιδιον απο της ωρας εκεινης.	18 Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him, and from that hour the boy was cured.
19 Τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν κατ' ιδιαν, ειπον? Δια τι ημεις δεν ηδυνηθημεν να εκβαλωμεν αυτο;	19 Then the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"
20 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Δια την απιστιαν σας. Διοτι αληθως σας λεγω, Εαν εχητε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως, θελετε ειπει προς το ορος τουτο, Μεταβηθι εντευθεν εκει, και θελει μεταβη? και δεν θελει εισθαι ουδεν αδυνατον εις εσας.	20 He said to them, "Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
21 Τουτο δε το γενος δεν εξερχεται, ειμη δια προσευχης και νηστειας.	21 )
22 Και ενω διετριβον εν τη Γαλιλαια, ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Μελλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να παραδοθη εις χειρας ανθρωπων?	22 As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men,
23 και θελουσι θανατωσει αυτον, και την τριτην ημεραν θελει αναστηθη. Και ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα.	23 and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." And they were overwhelmed with grief.
24 Οτε δε ηλθον εις την Καπερναουμ, προσηλθον προς τον Πετρον οι λαμβανοντες τα διδραχμα και ειπον? Ο διδασκαλος σας δεν πληρονει τα διδραχμα;	24 When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?"
25 Λεγει, Ναι. Και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, προελαβεν αυτον ο Ιησους λεγων? Τι σοι φαινεται, Σιμων; οι βασιλεις της γης απο τινων λαμβανουσι φορους η δασμον; απο των υιων αυτων η απο των ξενων;	25 "Yes," he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, "What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?"
26 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πετρος? Απο των ξενων. Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αρα ελευθεροι ειναι οι υιοι.	26 When he said, "From foreigners," Jesus said to him, "Then the subjects are exempt.
27 Πλην δια να μη σκανδαλισωμεν αυτους, υπαγε εις την θαλασσαν και ριψον αγκιστρον και το πρωτον οψαριον, το οποιον αναβη, λαβε, και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου θελεις ευρει στατηρα? εκεινον λαβων δος εις αυτους δι' εμε και σε.	27 But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you."
