PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τοπω τινι προσευχομενον, ως επαυσατο, ειπεν τις των μαθητων αυτου προς αυτον· κυριε, διδαξον ημας προσευχεσθαι, καθως και ιωαννης εδιδαξεν τους μαθητας αυτου.
1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τόπῳ τινὶ προσευχόμενον, ὡς ἐπαύσατο, εἶπέ τις τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· Κύριε, δίδαξον ἡμᾶς προσεύχεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ Ἰωάννης ἐδίδαξε τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ.
2 ειπεν δε αυτοις· οταν προσευχησθε, λεγετε· πατερ ημων ο εν τοις ουρανοις· αγιασθητω το ονομα σου· ελθετω η βασιλεια σου· γενηθητω το θελημα σου, ως εν ουρανω, και επι της γης·
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
2 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὅταν προσεύχησθε, λέγετε· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
3 τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον διδου ημιν το καθ ημεραν·
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3 τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν·
4◆ και αφες ημιν τας αμαρτιας ημων· και γαρ αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι τω οφειλοντι ημιν· και μη εισενεγκης ημας εις πειρασμον, αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
4 καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν· καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίεμεν παντὶ τῷ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
5 και ειπεν προς αυτους· τις εξ υμων εξει φιλον, και πορευσεται προς αυτον μεσονυκτιου και ερει αυτω· φιλε, χρησον μοι τρεις αρτους,
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
5 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕξει φίλον, καὶ πορεύσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν μεσονυκτίου καὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· φίλε, χρῆσόν μοι τρεῖς ἄρτους,
6 επειδη φιλος μου παρεγενετο εξ οδου προς με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω·
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6 ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με καὶ οὐκ ἔχω ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ·
7 κακεινος εσωθεν αποκριθεις ειπη· μη μοι κοπους παρεχε· ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εις την κοιτην εισιν· ου δυναμαι αναστας δουναι σοι;
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
7 κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθεὶς εἴπῃ· μή μοι κόπους πάρεχε· ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καὶ τὰ παιδία μου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὴν κοίτην εἰσίν· οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστὰς δοῦναί σοι;
8 λεγω υμιν, ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστας δια το ειναι αυτου φιλον, δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεις δωσει αυτω οσων χρηζει.
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
8 λέγω ὑμῖν, εἰ καὶ οὐ δώσει αὐτῷ ἀναστὰς διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοῦ φίλον, διά γε τὴν ἀναίδειαν αὐτοῦ ἐγερθεὶς δώσει αὐτῷ ὅσων χρῄζει.
9 καγω υμιν λεγω, αιτειτε, και δοθησεται υμιν, ζητειτε, και ευρησετε, κρουετε, και ανοιγησεται υμιν·
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
9 κἀγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν, ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε, κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν·
10 πας γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιχθησεται.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
10 πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιχθήσεται.
11 τινα δε εξ υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιος αρτον, μη λιθον επιδωσει αυτω; η και ιχθυν, μη αντι ιχθυος οφιν επιδωσει αυτω;
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
11 τίνα δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν τὸν πατέρα αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; ἢ καὶ ἰχθύν, μὴ ἀντὶ ἰχθύος ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ;
12 η και εαν αιτηση ωον, μη επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον;
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12 ἢ καὶ ἐὰν αἰτήσῃ ᾠόν, μὴ ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ σκορπίον;
13 ει ουν υμεις, υπαρχοντες πονηροι, οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδοναι τοις τεκνοις υμων, ποσω μαλλον ο πατηρ ο εξ ουρανου δωσει πνευμα αγαθον τοις αιτουσιν αυτον;
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
13 εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς, ὑπάρχοντες πονηροί, οἴδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ πατὴρ ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δώσει πνεῦμα ἀγαθὸν τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν;
14 και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον, και αυτο ην κωφον· εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντος ελαλησεν ο κωφος, και εθαυμαζον οι οχλοι·
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
14 Καὶ ἦν ἐκβάλλων δαιμόνιον, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦν κωφόν· ἐγένετο δὲ τοῦ δαιμονίου ἐξελθόντος ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ ὄχλοι·
15 τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον· εν βεελζεβουλ τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπον· ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 ετεροι δε πειραζοντες σημειον παρ αυτου εζητουν εξ ουρανου.
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16 ἕτεροι δὲ πειράζοντες σημεῖον παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐζήτουν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
17 αυτος δε ειδως αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοις· πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα, ερημουται, και οικος επι οικον, πιπτει.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17 αὐτὸς δὲ εἰδὼς αὐτῶν τὰ διανοήματα εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πᾶσα βασιλεία ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὴν διαμερισθεῖσα, ἐρημοῦται, καὶ οἶκος ἐπὶ οἶκον, πίπτει.
18 ει δε και ο σατανας εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη, πως σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου, οτι λεγετε εν βεελζεβουλ με εκβαλλειν τα δαιμονια;
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18 εἰ δὲ καὶ ὁ σατανᾶς ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὸν διεμερίσθη, πῶς σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ, ὅτι λέγετε ἐν Βεελζεβούλ με ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια;
19 ει δε εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλουσιν; δια τουτο αυτοι κριται υμων εσονται.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
19 εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβαλοῦσι; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ὑμῶν ἔσονται.
20 ει δε εν δακτυλω θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου.
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
20 εἰ δὲ ἐν δακτύλῳ Θεοῦ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
21 οταν ο ισχυρος καθωπλισμενος φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην, εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου·
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21 ὅταν ὁ ἰσχυρὸς καθωπλισμένος φυλάσσῃ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ αὐλήν, ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐστὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ·
22 επαν δε ο ισχυροτερος αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον, την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει, εφ η επεποιθει, και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
22 ἐπὰν δὲ ὁ ἰσχυρότερος αὐτοῦ ἐπελθὼν νικήσῃ αὐτόν, τὴν πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ αἴρει, ἐφ᾽ ᾗ ἐπεποίθει, καὶ τὰ σκῦλα αὐτοῦ διαδίδωσιν.
23 ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν, και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει.
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23 ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει.
24 οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου, διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν, και μη ευρισκον λεγει· υποστρεψω εις τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον·
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
24 Ὅταν τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, διέρχεται δι᾽ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ μὴ εὑρίσκον λέγει· ὑποστρέψω εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον·
25 και ελθον ευρισκει σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25 καὶ ἐλθὸν εὑρίσκει σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον.
26 τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου, και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει, και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
26 τότε πορεύεται καὶ παραλαμβάνει ἑπτὰ ἕτερα πνεύματα πονηρότερα ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ εἰσελθόντα κατοικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ γίνεται τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκείνου χείρονα τῶν πρώτων.
27 εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τις γυνη φωνην εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω· μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ους εθηλασας.
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
27 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἐπάρασά τις γυνὴ φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακαρία ἡ κοιλία ἡ βαστάσασά σε καὶ μαστοὶ οὓς ἐθήλασας.
28 αυτος δε ειπεν· μενουνγε μακαριοι οι ακουοντες τον λογον του θεου και φυλασσοντες αυτον.
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28 αὐτὸς δὲ εἶπε· μενοῦνγε μακάριοι οἱ ἀκούοντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ φυλάσσοντες αὐτόν.
29 των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν· η γενεα αυτη γενεα πονηρα εστιν· σημειον ζητει, και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου.
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
29 Τῶν δὲ ὄχλων ἐπαθροιζομένων ἤρξατο λέγειν· ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη γενεὰ πονηρά ἐστι· σημεῖον ζητεῖ, καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου.
30 καθως γαρ εγενετο ιωνας σημειον τοις νινευιταις, ουτως εσται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη σημειον.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
30 καθὼς γὰρ ἐγένετο Ἰωνᾶς σημεῖον τοῖς Νινευΐταις, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ σημεῖον.
31 βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτους, οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωντος, και ιδου πλειον σολομωντος ωδε.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
31 βασίλισσα νότου ἐγερθήσεται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινεῖ αὐτούς, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἐκ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς ἀκοῦσαι τὴν σοφίαν Σολομῶντος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Σολομῶντος ὧδε.
32 ανδρες νινευι αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην, οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα, και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
32 ἄνδρες Νινευῒ ἀναστήσονται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτήν, ὅτι μετενόησαν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα Ἰωνᾶ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Ἰωνᾶ ὧδε.
33 ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας εις κρυπτην τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον, αλλ επι την λυχνιαν, ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φεγγος βλεπωσιν.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
33 Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας εἰς κρυπτὴν τίθησιν οὐδὲ ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι τὸ φέγγος βλέπωσιν.
34 ο λυχνος του σωματος εστιν ο οφθαλμος· οταν ουν ο οφθαλμος σου απλους η, και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν· επαν δε πονηρος η, και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
34 ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός· ὅταν οὖν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς ᾖ, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινόν ἐστιν· ἐπὰν δὲ πονηρὸς ᾖ, καὶ τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινόν.
35 σκοπει ουν μη το φως το εν σοι σκοτος εστιν.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35 σκόπει οὖν μὴ τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν.
36 ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον, μη εχον τι μερος σκοτεινον, εσται φωτεινον ολον ως οταν ο λυχνος τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
36 εἰ οὖν τὸ σῶμά σου ὅλον φωτεινόν, μὴ ἔχον τι μέρος σκοτεινόν, ἔσται φωτεινὸν ὅλον ὡς ὅταν ὁ λύχνος τῇ ἀστραπῇ φωτίζῃ σε.
37 εν δε τω λαλησαι αυτον ταυτα ηρωτα αυτον φαρισαιος τις οπως αριστηση παρ αυτω· εισελθων δε ανεπεσεν.
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
37 Ἐν δὲ τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἠρώτα αὐτὸν Φαρισαῖός τις ὅπως ἀριστήσῃ παρ᾽ αὐτῷ· εἰσελθὼν δὲ ἀνέπεσεν.
38 ο δε φαρισαιος ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38 ὁ δὲ Φαρισαῖος ἰδὼν ἐθαύμασεν ὅτι οὐ πρῶτον ἐβαπτίσθη πρὸ τοῦ ἀρίστου.
39 ειπεν δε ο κυριος προς αυτον· νυν υμεις οι φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακος καθαριζετε, το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγης και πονηριας.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
39 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· νῦν ὑμεῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τὸ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τοῦ πίνακος καθαρίζετε, τὸ δὲ ἔσωθεν ὑμῶν γέμει ἁρπαγῆς καὶ πονηρίας.
40 αφρονες! ουχ ο ποιησας το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν;
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
40 ἄφρονες! οὐχ ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔξωθεν καὶ τὸ ἔσωθεν ἐποίησε;
41 πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην, και ιδου απαντα καθαρα υμιν εσται.
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41 πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅπαντα καθαρὰ ὑμῖν ἔσται.
42 αλλ ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις, οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον, και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του θεου· ταυτα δε εδει ποιησαι, κακεινα μη αφιεναι.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
42 ἀλλ᾽ οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ πήγανον καὶ πᾶν λάχανον, καὶ παρέρχεσθε τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ· ταῦτα δὲ ἔδει ποιῆσαι, κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι.
43 ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις, οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀγαπᾶτε τὴν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς.
44 ουαι υμιν, γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται, οτι εστε ως τα μνημεια τα αδηλα, και οι ανθρωποι περιπατουντες επανω ουκ οιδασιν.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
44 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι ἐστὲ ὡς τὰ μνημεῖα τὰ ἄδηλα, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι περιπατοῦντες ἐπάνω οὐκ οἴδασιν.
45 αποκριθεις δε τις των νομικων λεγει αυτω· διδασκαλε, ταυτα λεγων και ημας υβριζεις.
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45 Ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα λέγων καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις.
46 ο δε ειπεν· και υμιν τοις νομικοις ουαι, οτι φορτιζετε τους ανθρωπους φορτια δυσβαστακτα, και αυτοι ενι των δακτυλων υμων ου προσψαυετε τοις φορτιοις.
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
46 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς οὐαί, ὅτι φορτίζετε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φορτία δυσβάστακτα, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἑνὶ τῶν δακτύλων ὑμῶν οὐ προσψαύετε τοῖς φορτίοις.
47 ουαι υμιν, οτι οικοδομειτε τα μνημεια των προφητων, οι δε πατερες υμων απεκτειναν αυτους.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
47 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οἰκοδομεῖτε τὰ μνημεῖα τῶν προφητῶν, οἱ δὲ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς.
48 αρα μαρτυρειτε και συνευδοκειτε τοις εργοις των πατερων υμων, οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτους, υμεις δε οικοδομειτε αυτων τα μνημεια.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
48 ἄρα μαρτυρεῖτε καὶ συνευδοκεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, ὅτι αὐτοὶ μὲν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς, ὑμεῖς δὲ οἰκοδομεῖτε αὐτῶν τὰ μνημεῖα.
49 δια τουτο και η σοφια του θεου ειπεν· αποστελω εις αυτους προφητας και αποστολους, και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και εκδιωξουσιν,
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
49 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡ σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ εἶπεν· ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς προφήτας καὶ ἀποστόλους, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοῦσι καὶ ἐκδιώξουσιν,
50 ινα εκζητηθη το αιμα παντων των προφητων το εκχυνομενον απο καταβολης κοσμου απο της γενεας ταυτης,
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
50 ἵνα ἐκζητηθῇ τὸ αἷμα πάντων τῶν προφητῶν τὸ ἐκχυνόμενον ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης,
51 απο του αιματος αβελ εως του αιματος ζαχαριου του απολομενου μεταξυ του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου· ναι, λεγω υμιν, εκζητηθησεται απο της γενεας ταυτης.
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
51 ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος Ἄβελ ἕως τοῦ αἵματος Ζαχαρίου τοῦ ἀπολομένου μεταξὺ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου· ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐκζητηθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
52 ουαι υμιν τοις νομικοις, οτι ηρατε την κλειδα της γνωσεως· αυτοι ουκ εισηλθετε, και τους εισερχομενους εκωλυσατε.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
52 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς, ὅτι ἤρατε τὴν κλεῖδα τῆς γνώσεως· αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσήλθετε, καὶ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἐκωλύσατε.
53 λεγοντος δε αυτου προς αυτους ταυτα ηρξαντο οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι δεινως ενεχειν και αποστοματιζειν αυτον περι πλειονων,
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
53 λέγοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ταῦτα ἤρξαντο οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι δεινῶς ἐνέχειν καὶ ἀποστοματίζειν αὐτὸν περὶ πλειόνων,
54 ενεδρευοντες αυτον, ζητουντες θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματος αυτου, ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου.
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
54 ἐνεδρεύοντες αὐτόν, ζητοῦντες θηρεῦσαί τι ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Matthew 6:13: “For thine is the kingdom…”
The closing doxology of the Lord’s Prayer, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,” is missing from the oldest Greek manuscripts of Matthew and from most of the Latin tradition, but it is very old: a shorter form already appears in the Didache. The Patriarchal Text includes it, and in the Divine Liturgy the priest sings it in a Trinitarian form. Most scholars see it as an early liturgical response that entered the text.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We have heard our Lord, the Heavenly Master, and most faithful Counsellor exhorting us, who at once exhorteth us to ask, and giveth when we ask. We have heard Him in the Gospel exhorting us to ask instantly, and to knock even after the likeness of intrusive importunity.

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation." He thus points out the recapitulation that should take place in his own person of the effusion of blood from the beginning, of all the righteous men and of the prophets, and that by means of Himself there should be a requisition of their blood.
Or if he ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then," saith He, "though ye be evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

Whereas, if they were in discord, neither could this have been pointed out, and the doctrine itself had long since been brought to nought: "for every kingdom," saith He, "divided against itself shall not stand." But now even in this shines forth the might of the Spirit, namely, in that it prevailed on these men, engaged as they were in …

And that this grace is from the Father, He thus states, How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.
