PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 και οτε ηγγισαν εις ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εις βηθσφαγη προς το ορος των ελαιων, τοτε ο ιησους απεστειλεν δυο μαθητας
1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
1 Καὶ ὅτε ἤγγισαν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βηθσφαγῆ πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν, τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπέστειλε δύο μαθητὰς
2 λεγων αυτοις· πορευθητε εις την κωμην την απεναντι υμων, και ευθεως ευρησετε ονον δεδεμενην και πωλον μετ αυτης· λυσαντες αγαγετε μοι.
2 saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
2 λέγων αὐτοῖς· πορεύθητε εἰς τὴν κώμην τὴν ἀπέναντι ὑμῶν, καὶ εὐθέως εὑρήσετε ὄνον δεδεμένην καὶ πῶλον μετ᾽ αὐτῆς· λύσαντες ἀγάγετέ μοι.
3 και εαν τις υμιν ειπη τι, ερειτε οτι ο κυριος αυτων χρειαν εχει· ευθεως δε αποστελλει αυτους.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
3 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ τι, ἐρεῖτε ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτῶν χρείαν ἔχει· εὐθέως δὲ ἀποστέλλει αὐτούς.
4 τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος·
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
4 τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·
5 ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων, ιδου ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται σοι πραυς και επιβεβηκως επι ονον και πωλον υιον υποζυγιου.
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
5 εἴπατε τῇ θυγατρὶ Σιών, ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεταί σοι πραῢς καὶ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ὄνον καὶ πῶλον υἱὸν ὑποζυγίου.
6 πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως προσεταξεν αυτοις ο ιησους,
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
6 πορευθέντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ καὶ ποιήσαντες καθὼς προσέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς,
7 ηγαγον την ονον και τον πωλον, και επεθηκαν επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων, και επεκαθισεν επανω αυτων.
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
7 ἤγαγον τὴν ὄνον καὶ τὸν πῶλον, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπάνω αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπάνω αὐτῶν.
8 ο δε πλειστος οχλος εστρωσαν εαυτων τα ιματια εν τη οδω, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εν τη οδω.
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
8 ὁ δὲ πλεῖστος ὄχλος ἔστρωσαν ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ἄλλοι δὲ ἔκοπτον κλάδους ἀπὸ τῶν δένδρων καὶ ἐστρώννυον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
9 οι δε οχλοι οι προαγοντες και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον λεγοντες· ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ· ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου· ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
9 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι οἱ προάγοντες καὶ οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἔκραζον λέγοντες· ὡσαννὰ τῷ υἱῷ Δαυΐδ· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις.
10 και εισελθοντος αυτου εις ιεροσολυμα εσεισθη πασα η πολις λεγουσα· τις εστιν ουτος;
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
10 καὶ εἰσελθόντος αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ πόλις λέγουσα· τίς ἐστιν οὗτος;
11 οι δε οχλοι ελεγον· ουτος εστιν ιησους ο προφητης ο απο ναζαρετ της γαλιλαιας.
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
11 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι ἔλεγον· οὗτός ἔστιν Ἰησοῦς ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
12 και εισηλθεν ο ιησους εις το ιερον του θεου, και εξεβαλεν παντας τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των κολλυβιστων κατεστρεψεν και τας καθεδρας των πωλουντων τας περιστερας,
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
12 Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐξέβαλε πάντας τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ τὰς τραπέζας τῶν κολλυβιστῶν κατέστρεψε καὶ τὰς καθέδρας τῶν πωλούντων τὰς περιστεράς,
13 και λεγει αυτοις· γεγραπται, ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης κληθησεται· υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
13 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· γέγραπται, ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται· ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
14 και προσηλθον αυτω χωλοι και τυφλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους.
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
14 Καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ χωλοὶ καὶ τυφλοὶ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς.
15 ιδοντες δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις τα θαυμασια α εποιησεν και τους παιδας κραζοντας εν τω ιερω και λεγοντας, ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ, ηγανακτησαν
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
15 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὰ θαυμάσια ἃ ἐποίησε καὶ τοὺς παῖδας κράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ λέγοντας, ὡσαννὰ τῷ υἱῷ Δαυΐδ, ἠγανάκτησαν
16 και ειπον αυτω· ακουεις τι ουτοι λεγουσιν; ο δε ιησους λεγει αυτοις· ναι· ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε οτι εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον;
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
16 καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἀκούεις τί οὗτοι λέγουσιν; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς· ναί· οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε ὅτι ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον;
17 και καταλιπων αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις βηθανιαν και ηυλισθη εκει.
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
17 καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτοὺς ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς Βηθανίαν καὶ ηὐλίσθη ἐκεῖ.
18 πρωιας δε επαναγων εις την πολιν επεινασεν·
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
18 Πρωΐας δὲ ἐπανάγων εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐπείνασε·
19 και ιδων συκην μιαν επι της οδου ηλθεν επ αυτην, και ουδεν ευρεν εν αυτη ει μη φυλλα μονον, και λεγει αυτη· μηκετι εκ σου καρπος γενηται εις τον αιωνα. και εξηρανθη παραχρημα η συκη.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
19 καὶ ἰδὼν συκῆν μίαν ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν, καὶ οὐδὲν εὗρεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ φύλλα μόνον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῇ· μηκέτι ἐκ σοῦ καρπὸς γένηται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ἐξηράνθη παραχρῆμα ἡ συκῆ.
20 και ιδοντες οι μαθηται εθαυμασαν λεγοντες· πως παραχρημα εξηρανθη η συκη;
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
20 καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες· πῶς παραχρῆμα ἐξηράνθη ἡ συκῆ;
21 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν, εαν εχητε πιστιν και μη διακριθητε, ου μονον το της συκης ποιησετε, αλλα καν τω ορει τουτω ειπητε, αρθητι και βληθητι εις την θαλασσαν, γενησεται·
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
21 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν ἔχητε πίστιν καὶ μὴ διακριθῆτε, οὐ μόνον τὸ τῆς συκῆς ποιήσετε, ἀλλὰ κἂν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ εἴπητε, ἄρθητι καὶ βλήθητι εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, γενήσεται·
22 και παντα οσα εαν αιτησητε εν τη προσευχη πιστευοντες, ληψεσθε.
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
22 καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν αἰτήσητε ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ πιστεύοντες, λήψεσθε.
23 και ελθοντι αυτω εις το ιερον προσηλθον αυτω διδασκοντι οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου λεγοντες· εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις, και τις σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην;
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
23 Καὶ ἐλθόντι αὐτῷ εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ διδάσκοντι οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ λέγοντες· ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, καὶ τίς σοι ἔδωκε τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;
24 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ερωτησω υμας καγω λογον ενα, ον εαν ειπητε μοι, καγω υμιν ερω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω.
24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
24 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ λόγον ἕνα, ὃν ἐὰν εἴπητέ μοι, κἀγὼ ὑμῖν ἐρῶ ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
25 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου ποθεν ην, εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων; οι δε διελογιζοντο παρ εαυτοις λεγοντες· εαν ειπωμεν, εξ ουρανου, ερει ημιν, διατι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω·
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
25 τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου πόθεν ἦν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων; οἱ δὲ διελογίζοντο παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς λέγοντες· ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ ἡμῖν, διατί οὖν οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ·
26 εαν δε ειπωμεν, εξ ανθρωπων, φοβουμεθα τον οχλον· παντες γαρ εχουσιν τον ιωαννην ως προφητην.
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
26 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, φοβούμεθα τὸν ὄχλον· πάντες γὰρ ἔχουσι τὸν Ἰωάννην ὡς προφήτην.
27 και αποκριθεντες τω ιησου ειπον· ουκ οιδαμεν. εφη αυτοις και αυτος· ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω.
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
27 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπον· οὐκ οἴδαμεν. ἔφη αὐτοῖς καὶ αὐτός· οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
28 τι δε υμιν δοκει; ανθρωπος τις ειχεν τεκνα δυο, και προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν· τεκνον, υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου.
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
28 Τί δὲ ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχε τέκνα δύο, καὶ προσελθὼν τῷ πρώτῳ εἶπε· τέκνον, ὕπαγε σήμερον ἐργάζου ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνί μου.
29 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν· ου θελω· υστερον δε μεταμεληθεις απηλθεν.
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
29 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐ θέλω· ὕστερον δὲ μεταμεληθεὶς ἀπῆλθε.
30 και προσελθων τω δευτερω ειπεν ωσαυτως. ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν· εγω, κυριε· και ουκ απηλθεν.
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
30 καὶ προσελθὼν τῷ δευτέρῳ εἶπεν ὡσαύτως. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ οὐκ ἀπῆλθε.
31 τις εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατρος; λεγουσιν αυτω· ο πρωτος. λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμας εις την βασιλειαν του θεου.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
31 τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησε τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ὁ πρῶτος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
32 ηλθεν γαρ προς υμας ιωαννης εν οδω δικαιοσυνης, και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω· οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω· υμεις δε ιδοντες ου μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
32 ἦλθε γὰρ πρὸς ὑμᾶς Ἰωάννης ἐν ὁδῷ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐπίστευσαν αὐτῷ· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰδόντες οὐ μετεμελήθητε ὕστερον τοῦ πιστεῦσαι αὐτῷ.
33 αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε. ανθρωπος τις ην οικοδεσποτης, οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και φραγμον αυτω περιεθηκεν και ωρυξεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον, και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
33 Ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἀκούσατε. ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν οἰκοδεσπότης, ὅστις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ φραγμὸν αὐτῷ περιέθηκε καὶ ὤρυξεν ἐν αὐτῷ ληνὸν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πύργον, καὶ ἐξέδοτο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν.
34 οτε δε ηγγισεν ο καιρος των καρπων, απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους λαβειν τους καρπους αυτου.
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
34 ὅτε δὲ ἤγγισεν ὁ καιρὸς τῶν καρπῶν, ἀπέστειλε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς λαβεῖν τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτοῦ.
35 και λαβοντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου ον μεν εδειραν, ον δε απεκτειναν, ον δε ελιθοβολησαν.
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
35 καὶ λαβόντες οἱ γεωργοὶ τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὃν μὲν ἔδειραν, ὃν δὲ ἀπέκτειναν, ὃν δὲ ἐλιθοβόλησαν.
36 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειονας των πρωτων, και εποιησαν αυτοις ωσαυτως.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
36 πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους πλείονας τῶν πρώτων, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὡσαύτως.
37 υστερον δε απεστειλεν προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων· εντραπησονται τον υιον μου.
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
37 ὕστερον δὲ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου.
38 οι δε γεωργοι ιδοντες τον υιον ειπον εν εαυτοις· ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος· δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και κατασχωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου.
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
38 οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἰδόντες τὸν υἱὸν εἶπον ἐν ἑαυτοῖς· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ κατάσχωμεν τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ.
39 και λαβοντες αυτον εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και απεκτειναν.
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
39 καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὸν ἐξέβαλον ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.
40 οταν ουν ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος, τι ποιησει τοις γεωργοις εκεινοις;
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
40 ὅταν οὖν ἔλθῃ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, τί ποιήσει τοῖς γεωργοῖς ἐκείνοις;
41 λεγουσιν αυτω· κακους κακως απολεσει αυτους, και τον αμπελωνα εκδωσεται αλλοις γεωργοις, οιτινες αποδωσουσιν αυτω τους καρπους εν τοις καιροις αυτων.
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
41 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· κακοὺς κακῶς ἀπολέσει αὐτούς, καὶ τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἐκδώσεται ἄλλοις γεωργοῖς, οἵτινες ἀποδώσουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς καρποὺς ἐν τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν.
42 λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε εν ταις γραφαις, λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας· παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη, και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων;
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?
42 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας· παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη, καὶ ἔστι θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν;
43 δια τουτο λεγω υμιν οτι αρθησεται αφ υμων η βασιλεια του θεου και δοθησεται εθνει ποιουντι τους καρπους αυτης·
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
43 διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀρθήσεται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ δοθήσεται ἔθνει ποιοῦντι τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς·
44 και ο πεσων επι τον λιθον τουτον συνθλασθησεται· εφ ον δ αν πεση, λικμησει αυτον.
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
44 καὶ ὁ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τοῦτον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ᾽ ὃν δ᾽ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.
45 και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου εγνωσαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει·
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
45 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τὰς παραβολὰς αὐτοῦ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι περὶ αὐτῶν λέγει·
46 και ζητουντες αυτον κρατησαι εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους, επειδη ως προφητην αυτον ειχον.
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
46 καὶ ζητοῦντες αὐτὸν κρατῆσαι ἐφοβήθησαν τοὺς ὄχλους, ἐπειδὴ ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.

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).

  1. Commentary 21:19 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXXIX)

    The lesson of the Holy Gospel which has just been read, has given us an alarming warning, lest we have leaves only, and have no fruit. That is, in few words, lest words be present and deeds be wanting. Very terrible!

  2. Commentary 21:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXVII)

    This John likewise saith, but he in the beginning of his Gospel, this at the end. Whence it is probable this was done twice, and at different seasons. And it is evident both from the times, and from their reply. For there He came at the very passover, but here much before.

  3. Quotes verse 21:13 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Preface)

    … and did truly vindicate His own house, by driving out of it the changers of money, who were buying and selling, saying unto them: "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." And what reason had He for thus doing and saying, and vindicating His house, if …

  4. Quotes verse 21:38 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapter 19)

    Indeed, the gospel parable about the wicked husbandmen shows that our Lord Jesus Himself said something like it: "This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours." In like manner also that passage in this same book, on which we have already touched when we were speaking of the barren woman who hath born …

  5. Quotes verse 21:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VII)

    For instance, when after many miracles children were singing hymns unto Him, hear what saith the prophet, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise." And again, "I will consider the Heavens, the works of Thy fingers;" which signifies Him to be Maker of the universe.
