PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Κατ' εκείνον δε τον καιρόν ήλθον τινές, απαγγέλλοντες προς αυτόν περί των Γαλιλαίων, των οποίων το αίμα ο Πιλάτος έμιξε με τας θυσίας αυτών.
1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
1 Παρῆσαν δέ τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν Γαλιλαίων, ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πιλᾶτος ἔμιξε μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν.
2 Και αποκριθείς ο Ιησούς, είπε προς αυτούς· Νομίζετε ότι οι Γαλιλαίοι ούτοι ήσαν αμαρτωλοί υπέρ πάντας τους Γαλιλαίους, διότι έπαθον τοιαύτα;
2 Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
2 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· δοκεῖτε ὅτι οἱ Γαλιλαῖοι οὗτοι ἁμαρτωλοὶ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς Γαλιλαίους ἐγένοντο, ὅτι τοιαῦτα πεπόνθασιν;
3 Ουχί, σας λέγω, αλλ' εάν δεν μετανοήτε, πάντες ομοίως θέλετε απολεσθή.
3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
3 οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐὰν μὴ μετανοῆτε, πάντες ὡσαύτως ἀπολεῖσθε.
4 Η εκείνοι οι δεκαοκτώ, επί τους οποίους έπεσεν ο πύργος εν τω Σιλωάμ και εθανάτωσεν αυτούς, νομίζετε ότι ούτοι ήσαν αμαρτωλοί υπέρ πάντας τους ανθρώπους τους κατοικούντας εν Ιερουσαλήμ;
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
4 ἢ ἐκεῖνοι οἱ δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, ἐφ᾽ οὓς ἔπεσεν ὁ πύργος ἐν τῷ Σιλωὰμ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτούς, δοκεῖτε ὅτι οὗτοι ὀφειλέται ἐγένοντο παρὰ πάντας [τοὺς] ἀνθρώπους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ;
5 Ουχί, σας λέγω, αλλ' εάν δεν μετανοήτε, πάντες ομοίως θέλετε απολεσθή.
5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
5 οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσητε, πάντες ὁμοίως ἀπολεῖσθε.
6 Έλεγε δε ταύτην την παραβολήν· Είχε τις συκήν πεφυτευμένην εν τω αμπελώνι αυτού, και ήλθε ζητών καρπόν εν αυτή και δεν εύρε.
6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
6 Ἔλεγε δὲ ταύτην τὴν παραβολήν· συκῆν εἶχέ τις ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι αὐτοῦ πεφυτευμένην, καὶ ἦλθε ζητῶν καρπὸν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν.
7 Και είπε προς τον αμπελουργόν· Ιδού, τρία έτη έρχομαι ζητών καρπόν εν τη συκή ταύτη και δεν ευρίσκω· έκκοψον αυτήν· διά τι καταργεί και την γην;
7 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
7 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τὸν ἀμπελουργόν· ἰδοὺ τρία ἔτη ἔρχομαι ζητῶν καρπὸν ἐν τῇ συκῇ ταύτῃ, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκω· ἔκκοψον αὐτήν· ἱνατί καὶ τὴν γῆν καταργεῖ;
8 Ο δε αποκριθείς λέγει προς αυτόν· Κύριε, άφες αυτήν και τούτο το έτος, έως ότου σκάψω περί αυτήν και βάλω κοπρίαν·
8 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
8 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· κύριε, ἄφες αὐτὴν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔτος, ἕως ὅτου σκάψω περὶ αὐτὴν καὶ βάλω κόπρια.
9 και εάν μεν κάμη καρπόν, καλώς· ει δε μη, θέλεις εκκόψει αυτήν μετά ταύτα.
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
9 κἂν μὲν ποιήσῃ καρπόν· εἰ δὲ μήγε, εἰς τὸ μέλλον ἐκκόψεις αὐτήν.
10 Εδίδασκε δε εν μιά των συναγωγών το σάββατον.
10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
10 Ἦν δὲ διδάσκων ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν ἐν τοῖς σάββασι.
11 Και ιδού, γυνή τις είχε πνεύμα ασθενείας δεκαοκτώ έτη και ήτο συγκύπτουσα και δεν ηδύνατο παντελώς να ανακύψη.
11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
11 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἦν πνεῦμα ἔχουσα ἀσθενείας ἔτη δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ ἦν συγκύπτουσα καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακῦψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές.
12 Ιδών δε αυτήν ο Ιησούς, εφώναξε και είπε προς αυτήν· Γύναι, ηλευθερωμένη είσαι από της ασθενείας σου·
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
12 ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὴν ὁ Ἰησοῦς προσεφώνησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· γύναι, ἀπολέλυσαι τῆς ἀσθενείας σου·
13 και έθεσεν επ' αυτήν τας χείρας· και παρευθύς ανωρθώθη και εδόξαζε τον Θεόν.
13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
13 καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας· καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνωρθώθη καὶ ἐδόξαζε τὸν Θεόν.
14 Αποκριθείς δε ο αρχισυνάγωγος, αγανακτών ότι εις το σάββατον εθεράπευσεν ο Ιησούς, έλεγε προς τον όχλον· Εξ ημέραι είναι, εις τας οποίας πρέπει να εργάζησθε· εν ταύταις λοιπόν ερχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, και μη τη ημέρα του σαββάτου.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
14 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος, ἀγανακτῶν ὅτι τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγε τῷ ὄχλῳ· ἓξ ἡμέραι εἰσὶν ἐν αἷς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι· ἐν ταύταις οὖν ἐρχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου.
15 Απεκρίθη λοιπόν προς αυτόν ο Κύριος και είπεν· Υποκριτά, δεν λύει έκαστος υμών εν τω σαββάτω τον βουν αυτού ή τον όνον από της φάτνης και φέρων ποτίζει;
15 Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
15 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν· ὑποκριτά, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν τῷ σαββάτῳ οὐ λύει τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὸν ὄνον ἀπὸ τῆς φάτνης καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν ποτίζει;
16 αύτη δε, ούσα θυγάτηρ του Αβραάμ, την οποίαν ο Σατανάς έδεσεν, ιδού, δεκαοκτώ έτη, δεν έπρεπε να λυθή από του δεσμού τούτου τη ημέρα του σαββάτου;
16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
16 ταύτην δέ, θυγατέρα Ἀβραὰμ οὖσαν, ἣν ἔδησεν ὁ σατανᾶς ἰδοὺ δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, οὐκ ἔδει λυθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου;
17 Και ενώ, αυτός έλεγε ταύτα, κατησχύνοντο πάντες οι εναντίοι αυτού, και πας ο όχλος έχαιρε δι' όλα τα ένδοξα έργα τα γινόμενα υπ' αυτού.
17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
17 καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ κατῃσχύνοντο πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τοῖς γινομένοις ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
18 Έλεγε δέ· Με τι είναι ομοία η βασιλεία του Θεού, και με τι να ομοιώσω αυτήν;
18 He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
18 Ἔλεγε δέ· τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν;
19 Είναι ομοία με κόκκον σινάπεως, τον οποίον λαβών άνθρωπος έρριψεν εις τον κήπον αυτού· και ηύξησε και έγεινε δένδρον μέγα, και τα πετεινά του ουρανού κατεσκήνωσαν εν τοις κλάδοις αυτού.
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
19 ὁμοία ἐστὶ κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ηὔξησε καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον μέγα, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ.
20 Και πάλιν είπε· Με τι να ομοιώσω την βασιλείαν του Θεού;
20 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
20 Πάλιν εἶπε· τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
21 Είναι ομοία με προζύμιον, το οποίον λαβούσα γυνή ενέκρυψεν εις τρία μέτρα αλεύρου, εωσού ανέβη όλον το φύραμα.
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
21 ὁμοία ἐστὶ ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ ἔκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον.
22 Και διήρχετο τας πόλεις και κώμας διδάσκων και οδοιπορών εις Ιερουσαλήμ.
22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
22 Καὶ διεπορεύετο κατὰ πόλεις καὶ κώμας διδάσκων καὶ πορείαν ποιούμενος εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
23 Είπε δε τις προς αυτόν· Κύριε, ολίγοι άρα είναι οι σωζόμενοι; Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς·
23 One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
23 εἶπε δέ τις αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ ὀλίγοι οἱ σῳζόμενοι; ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς·
24 Αγωνίζεσθε να εισέλθητε διά της στενής πύλης· διότι πολλοί, σας λέγω, θέλουσι ζητήσει να εισέλθωσι και δεν θέλουσι δυνηθή.
24 “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
24 ἀγωνίζεσθε εἰσελθεῖν διὰ τῆς στενῆς πύλης· ὅτι πολλοί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητήσουσιν εἰσελθεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύσουσιν.
25 Αφού σηκωθή ο οικοδεσπότης και αποκλείση την θύραν, και αρχίσητε να στέκησθε έξω και να κρούητε την θύραν, λέγοντες· Κύριε, Κύριε, άνοιξον εις ημάς· και εκείνος αποκριθείς σας είπη, δεν σας εξεύρω πόθεν είσθε·
25 When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
25 ἀφ᾽ οὗ ἂν ἐγερθῇ ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης καὶ ἀποκλείσῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἄρξησθε ἔξω ἑστάναι καὶ κρούειν τὴν θύραν λέγοντες· Κύριε Κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν· καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ἐρεῖ ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ.
26 τότε θέλετε αρχίσει να λέγητε· Εφάγομεν έμπροσθέν σου και επίομεν, και εν ταις πλατείαις ημών εδίδαξας.
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
26 τότε ἄρξεσθε λέγειν· ἐφάγομεν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἐπίομεν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἐδίδαξας·
27 Και θέλει ειπεί· Σας λέγω, δεν σας εξεύρω πόθεν είσθε· φύγετε απ' εμού πάντες οι εργάται της αδικίας.
27 He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
27 καὶ ἐρεῖ· λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ· ἀπόστητε ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐργάται τῆς ἀδικίας.
28 Εκεί θέλει είσθαι ο κλαυθμός και ο τριγμός των οδόντων, όταν ίδητε τον Αβραάμ και Ισαάκ και Ιακώβ και πάντας τους προφήτας εν τη βασιλεία του Θεού, εαυτούς δε εκβαλλομένους έξω.
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
28 ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων, ὅταν ὄψησθε Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὑμᾶς δὲ ἐκβαλλομένους ἔξω,
29 Και θέλουσιν ελθεί από ανατολών και δυσμών και από βορρά και νότου και θέλουσι καθήσει εν τη βασιλεία του Θεού.
29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
29 καὶ ἥξουσιν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ νότου, καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
30 Και ιδού, είναι έσχατοι, οίτινες θέλουσιν είσθαι πρώτοι, και είναι πρώτοι, οίτινες θέλουσιν είσθαι έσχατοι.
30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
30 καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰσὶν ἔσχατοι οἳ ἔσονται πρῶτοι, καὶ εἰσὶ πρῶτοι οἳ ἔσονται ἔσχατοι.
31 Κατ' εκείνην την ημέραν προσήλθον τινές Φαρισαίοι, λέγοντες προς αυτόν· Έξελθε και αναχώρησον εντεύθεν, διότι ο Ηρώδης θέλει να σε θανατώση.
31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
31 Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθόν τινες Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες αὐτῷ· ἔξελθε καὶ πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι Ἡρῴδης θέλει σε ἀποκτεῖναι.
32 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Υπάγετε και είπατε προς την αλώπεκα ταύτην· Ιδού, εκβάλλω δαιμόνια και κάμνω θεραπείας σήμερον και αύριον, και την τρίτην ημέραν τελειούμαι.
32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
32 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες εἴπατε τῇ ἀλώπεκι ταύτῃ· ἰδοὺ ἐκβάλλω δαιμόνια καὶ ἰάσεις ἐπιτελῶ σήμερον καὶ αὔριον, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ τελειοῦμαι·
33 Πλην πρέπει εγώ σήμερον και αύριον και την εφεξής ημέραν να υπάγω· διότι δεν είναι δυνατόν προφήτης να απολεσθή έξω της Ιερουσαλήμ.
33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
33 πλὴν δεῖ με σήμερον καὶ αὔριον καὶ τῇ ἐχομένῃ πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνδέχεται προφήτην ἀπολέσθαι ἔξω Ἱερουσαλήμ.
34 Ιερουσαλήμ, Ιερουσαλήμ, η φονεύουσα τους προφήτας και λιθοβολούσα τους απεσταλμένους προς αυτήν, ποσάκις ηθέλησα να συνάξω τα τέκνα σου καθ' ον τρόπον η όρνις τα ορνίθια εαυτής υπό τας πτέρυγας, και δεν ηθελήσατε.
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
34 Ἱερουσαλὴμ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτέννουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν! ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυνάξαι τὰ τέκνα σου ὃν τρόπον ὄρνις τὴν ἑαυτῆς νοσσιὰν ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε!
35 Ιδού, σας αφίνεται ο οίκός σας έρημος· αληθώς δε σας λέγω ότι δεν θέλετε με ιδεί, εωσού έλθη ο καιρός ότε θέλετε ειπεί· Ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος εν ονόματι Κυρίου.
35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
35 ἰδοὺ ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν [ἔρημος]. λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μή με ἴδητε ἕως ἂν ἥξῃ ὅτε εἴπητε· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

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).
Touching "the fig-tree" which had its three years' trial, and bare no fruit, and "the woman which was in an infirmity eighteen years," hearken to what the Lord may grant me to say. The fig-tree is the human race. And the three years are the three times; one before the Law, the second under the Law, the third under grace.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 6 (1888)
another woman was also healed, after suffering in like manner for eighteen years; concerning whom the Lord said, "And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound during eighteen years, to be set free on the Sabbath-day?" If, then, the former was a type of the twelfth Æon that suffered, the latter should also be a type of …
… sense, as when He said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees," and in a good sense, as when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened." For as this converts the large quantity of meal into its own quality, even so shall ye convert the whole world.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 10 (1888)
… and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;" and then again by saying to the Jews, "When ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of heaven, but you yourselves cast out." This, then, is a clear point, that those who disallow his salvation, and frame the …
