PT Patriarchal Text (Antoniades 1904/1912)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και ηρξατο αυτοις εν παραβολαις λεγειν· αμπελωνα εφυτευσεν ανθρωπος και περιεθηκεν φραγμον και ωρυξεν υποληνιον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον, και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν.
1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 και απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους τω καιρω δουλον, ινα παρα των γεωργων λαβη απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 και λαβοντες αυτον εδειραν και απεστειλαν κενον.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 και παλιν απεστειλεν προς αυτους αλλον δουλον· κακεινον λιθοβολησαντες εκεφαλαιωσαν και απεστειλαν ητιμωμενον.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 και παλιν αλλον απεστειλεν· κακεινον απεκτειναν, και πολλους αλλους, ους μεν δεροντες, ους δε αποκτεννοντες.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 ετι ουν ενα υιον εχων, αγαπητον αυτου, απεστειλεν και αυτον εσχατον προς αυτους λεγων οτι εντραπησονται τον υιον μου.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 εκεινοι δε οι γεωργοι, θεασαμενοι αυτον ερχομενον, προς εαυτους ειπον οτι ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος· δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον, και ημων εσται η κληρονομια.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 και λαβοντες απεκτειναν αυτον και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος.
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 τι ουν ποιησει ο κυριος του αμπελωνος; ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους, και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 ουδε την γραφην ταυτην ανεγνωτε, λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας·
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11 παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη, και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων;
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 και εζητουν αυτον κρατησαι, και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον· εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προς αυτους την παραβολην ειπεν. και αφεντες αυτον απηλθον.
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
13 και αποστελλουσιν προς αυτον τινας των φαρισαιων και των ηρωδιανων ινα αυτον αγρευσωσιν λογω.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
14 οι δε ελθοντες λεγουσιν αυτω· διδασκαλε, οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος· ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων, αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις. ειπον ουν ημιν· εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου;
14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 δωμεν η μη δωμεν; ο δε ειδως αυτων την υποκρισιν ειπεν αυτοις· τι με πειραζετε; φερετε μοι δηναριον ινα ιδω.
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
16 οι δε ηνεγκαν. και λεγει αυτοις· τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη; οι δε ειπον· καισαρος.
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· αποδοτε τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω. και εθαυμασαν επ αυτω.
17 Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
18 και ερχονται σαδδουκαιοι προς αυτον, οιτινες λεγουσιν αναστασιν μη ειναι, και επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες·
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 διδασκαλε, μωυσης εγραψεν ημιν οτι εαν τινος αδελφος αποθανη και καταλιπη γυναικα, και τεκνα μη αφη, ινα λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου.
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
20 επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν. και ο πρωτος ελαβεν γυναικα, και αποθνησκων ουκ αφηκεν σπερμα.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 και ο δευτερος ελαβεν αυτην, και απεθανεν, και ουδε αυτος [ουκ] αφηκεν σπερμα. και ο τριτος ωσαυτως.
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22 και ελαβον αυτην οι επτα, και ουκ αφηκαν σπερμα. εσχατη παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23 εν τη ουν αναστασει, οταν αναστωσιν, τινος αυτων εσται γυνη; οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ου δια τουτο πλανασθε, μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου;
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
25 οταν γαρ εκ νεκρων αναστωσιν, ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμιζονται, αλλ εισιν ως αγγελοι [οι] εν τοις ουρανοις.
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26 περι δε των νεκρων οτι εγειρονται, ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τη βιβλω μωυσεως, επι του βατου πως ειπεν αυτω ο θεος λεγων, εγω ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ;
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 ουκ εστιν ο θεος νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων· υμεις ουν πολυ πλανασθε.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 και προσελθων εις των γραμματεων, ακουσας αυτων συζητουντων, ιδων οτι καλως αυτοις απεκριθη, επηρωτησεν αυτον· ποια εστιν πρωτη παντων εντολη;
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29 ο δε ιησους απεκριθη αυτω οτι πρωτη παντων εντολη· ακουε, ισραηλ, κυριος ο θεος ημων κυριος εις εστιν·
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 και αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εξ ολης της καρδιας σου και εξ ολης της ψυχης σου και εξ ολης της διανοιας σου και εξ ολης της ισχυος σου. αυτη πρωτη εντολη.
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 και δευτερα ομοια, αυτη· αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως εαυτον. μειζων τουτων αλλη εντολη ουκ εστιν.
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 και ειπεν αυτω ο γραμματευς· καλως, διδασκαλε, επ αληθειας ειπας οτι εις εστιν και ουκ εστιν αλλος πλην αυτου·
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
33 και το αγαπαν αυτον εξ ολης της καρδιας και εξ ολης της συνεσεως και εξ ολης της ψυχης και εξ ολης της ισχυος, και το αγαπαν τον πλησιον ως εαυτον πλειον εστιν παντων των ολοκαυτωματων και θυσιων.
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 και ο ιησους ιδων οτι νουνεχως απεκριθη, ειπεν αυτω· ου μακραν ει απο της βασιλειας του θεου. και ουδεις ουκετι ετολμα αυτον επερωτησαι.
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
35 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ελεγεν διδασκων εν τω ιερω· πως λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι ο χριστος υιος δαυιδ εστιν;
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 αυτος γαρ δαυιδ ειπεν εν πνευματι αγιω· λεγει ο κυριος τω κυριω μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου.
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37 αυτος ουν δαυιδ λεγει αυτον κυριον· και ποθεν υιος αυτου εστιν; και ο πολυς οχλος ηκουεν αυτου ηδεως.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38 και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου· βλεπετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων εν στολαις περιπατειν και ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και πρωτοκλισιας εν τοις δειπνοις.
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
40 οι κατεσθιοντες τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι! ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα.
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
41 και καθισας ο ιησους κατεναντι του γαζοφυλακιου εθεωρει πως ο οχλος βαλλει χαλκον εις το γαζοφυλακιον. και πολλοι πλουσιοι εβαλλον πολλα·
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 και ελθουσα μια χηρα πτωχη εβαλεν λεπτα δυο, ο εστιν κοδραντης.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43 και προσκαλεσαμενος τους μαθητας αυτου ειπεν αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν των βαλλοντων εις το γαζοφυλακιον·
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44 παντες γαρ εκ του περισσευοντος αυτοις εβαλον· αυτη δε εκ της υστερησεως αυτης παντα οσα ειχεν εβαλεν, ολον τον βιον αυτης.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

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).

    … evil." And that we ought to worship God alone, He thus persuaded us: "The greatest commandment is, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve, with all thy heart, and with all thy strength, the Lord God that made thee."
