PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντοσ αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι ιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ συν τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου ἐπέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις
2 και ειπον προσ αυτον λεγοντεσ ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεισ η τισ εστιν ο δουσ σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
2 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰπὲ ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;
3 αποκριθεισ δε ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ερωτησω υμασ καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
3 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ ἕνα λόγον, καὶ εἴπατέ μοι·
4 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
4 τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων;
5 οι δε συνελογισαντο προσ εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
5 οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ, διατί οὖν οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;
6 εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πασ ο λαοσ καταλιθασει ημασ πεπεισμενοσ γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
6 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς· πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι.
7 και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
7 καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν.
8 και ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
8 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
9 ηρξατο δε προσ τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωποσ εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν χρονουσ ικανουσ
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
9 Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἄνθρωπός τις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ἐξέδοτο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησε χρόνους ἱκανούς.
10 και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντεσ αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
10 καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ δείραντες αὐτὸν ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
11 και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντεσ και ατιμασαντεσ εξαπεστειλαν κενον
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
11 καὶ προσέθετο αὐτοῖς πέμψαι ἕτερον δοῦλον. οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
12 και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντεσ εξεβαλον
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
12 καὶ προσέθετο πέμψαι τρίτον. οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον.
13 ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισωσ τουτον ιδοντεσ εντραπησονται
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
13 εἶπε δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος· τί ποιήσω; πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν· ἴσως τοῦτον ἰδόντες ἐντραπήσονται.
14 ιδοντεσ δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προσ εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
14 ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία.
15 και εκβαλοντεσ αυτον εξω του αμπελωνοσ απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοισ ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
15 καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος ἀπέκτειναν. τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος;
16 ελευσεται και απολεσει τουσ γεωργουσ τουτουσ και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοισ ακουσαντεσ δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
16 ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους, καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις. ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπον· μὴ γένοιτο.
17 ο δε εμβλεψασ αυτοισ ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
17 ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπε· τί οὖν ἐστι τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας;
18 πασ ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
18 πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ᾽ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ᾽ ὃν δ᾽ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.
19 και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ επιβαλειν επ αυτον τασ χειρασ εν αυτη τη ωρα και εφοβηθησαν εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
19 Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὰς παραβολὰς ἔλεγε.
20 και παρατηρησαντεσ απεστειλαν εγκαθετουσ υποκρινομενουσ εαυτουσ δικαιουσ ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εισ το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονοσ
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
20 Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους, ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου εἰς τὸ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.
21 και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθωσ λεγεισ και διδασκεισ και ου λαμβανεισ προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειασ την οδον του θεου διδασκεισ
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
21 καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις·
22 εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
22 ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;
23 κατανοησασ δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι με πειραζετε
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
23 κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί με πειράζετε;
24 επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινοσ εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντεσ δε ειπον καισαροσ
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
24 δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον· τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν; ἀποκριθέντες δὲ εἶπον· Καίσαρος.
25 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
25 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀπόδοτε τοίνυν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ.
26 και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματοσ εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντεσ επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
26 καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι αὐτοῦ ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.
27 προσελθοντεσ δε τινεσ των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντεσ αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
27 Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
28 λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε μωσησ εγραψεν ημιν εαν τινοσ αδελφοσ αποθανη εχων γυναικα και ουτοσ ατεκνοσ αποθανη ινα λαβη ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
28 λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν, ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ἀποθάνῃ, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
29 επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτοσ λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνοσ
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
29 ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
30 και ελαβεν ο δευτεροσ την γυναικα και ουτοσ απεθανεν ατεκνοσ
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
30 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ δεύτερος τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
31 και ο τριτοσ ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτωσ ωσαυτωσ δε και οι επτα ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
31 καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ὡσαύτως· ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτά· οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα, καὶ ἀπέθανον·
32 υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
32 Afterward the woman also died.
32 ὕστερον δὲ πάντων καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
33 εν τη ουν αναστασει τινοσ αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
33 ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
34 και αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ οι υιοι του αιωνοσ τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται
34 Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
34 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσι καὶ ἐκγαμίζονται·
35 οι δε καταξιωθεντεσ του αιωνοσ εκεινου τυχειν και τησ αναστασεωσ τησ εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
35 οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται·
36 ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου τησ αναστασεωσ υιοι οντεσ
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
36 οὔτε γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται· ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσι καὶ υἱοί εἰσι τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.
37 οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι και μωσησ εμηνυσεν επι τησ βατου ωσ λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
37 ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου, ὡς λέγει Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰακώβ.
38 θεοσ δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντεσ γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
38 Θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστι νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.
39 αποκριθεντεσ δε τινεσ των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλωσ ειπασ
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
39 ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπον· διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας.
40 ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
40 οὐκέτι δὲ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.
41 ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ πωσ λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
41 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· πῶς λέγουσι τὸν Χριστὸν υἱὸν Δαυῒδ εἶναι;
42 και αυτοσ δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
42 καὶ αὐτὸς Δαυῒδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ τῶν ψαλμῶν· εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
43 εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
43 ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.
44 δαυιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πωσ υιοσ αυτου εστιν
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
44 Δαυῒδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ· καὶ πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;
45 ακουοντοσ δε παντοσ του λαου ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
45 Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ·
46 προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων περιπατειν εν στολαισ και φιλουντων ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ και πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και πρωτοκλισιασ εν τοισ δειπνοισ
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
46 προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,
47 οι κατεσθιουσιν τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
47 οἳ κατεσθίουσι τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται· οὗτοι λήψονται περισσότερον κρῖμα.
