1 Είπε δε προς τους μαθητάς· Αδύνατον είναι να μη έλθωσι τα σκάνδαλα· πλην ουαί εις εκείνον, διά του οποίου έρχονται.
1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
1 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· ἀνένδεκτόν ἐστι τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· οὐαὶ δὲ δι᾽ οὗ ἔρχεται.
2 Συμφέρει εις αυτόν να κρεμασθή περί τον τράχηλον αυτού μύλου πέτρα και να ριφθή εις την θάλασσαν, παρά να σκανδαλίση ένα των μικρών τούτων.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 λυσιτελεῖ αὐτῷ εἰ λίθος μυλικὸς περίκειται περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρριπται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἢ ἵνα σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.
3 Προσέχετε εις εαυτούς. Εάν δε ο αδελφός σου αμαρτήση εις σε, επίπληξον αυτόν· και εάν μετανοήση, συγχώρησον αυτόν.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
3 προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς. ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ἐπιτίμησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες αὐτῷ·
4 και εάν επτάκις της ημέρας αμαρτήση εις σε, και επτάκις της ημέρας επιστρέψη προς σε λέγων· Μετανοώ, θέλεις συγχωρήσει αυτόν.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
4 καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ καὶ ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπιστρέψῃ [πρός σε] λέγων, μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ.
5 Και είπον οι απόστολοι προς τον Κύριον· Αύξησον εις ημάς την πίστιν.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
5 Καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῷ Κυρίῳ· πρόσθες ἡμῖν πίστιν.
6 Ο δε Κύριος είπεν· Εάν έχετε πίστιν ως κόκκον σινάπεως, ηθέλετε ειπεί εις την συκάμινον ταύτην, Εκριζώθητι και φυτεύθητι εις την θάλασσαν· και ήθελε σας υπακούσει.
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
6 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· εἰ ἔχετε πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως, ἐλέγετε ἂν τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ, ἐκριζώθητι καὶ φυτεύθητι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ὑπήκουσεν ἂν ὑμῖν.
7 Τις δε από σας έχων δούλον αροτριώντα ή ποιμαίνοντα, θέλει ειπεί προς αυτόν, ευθύς αφού έλθη εκ του αγρού· Ύπαγε, κάθησον να φάγης,
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
7 Τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε,
8 και δεν θέλει ειπεί προς αυτόν· Ετοίμασον τι να δειπνήσω, και περιζωσθείς υπηρέτει με, εωσού φάγω και πίω, και μετά ταύτα θέλεις φάγει και πίει συ;
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
8 ἀλλ᾽ οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ;
9 Μήπως γνωρίζει χάριν εις τον δούλον εκείνον, διότι έκαμε τα διαταχθέντα εις αυτόν; δεν μοι φαίνεται.
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
9 μὴ χάριν ἔχει τῷ δούλῳ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι ἐποίησε τὰ διαταχθέντα; οὐ δοκῶ.
10 Ούτω και σεις, όταν κάμητε πάντα τα διαταχθέντα εις εσάς, λέγετε ότι δούλοι αχρείοι είμεθα, επειδή εκάμαμεν ό,τι εχρεωστούμεν να κάμωμεν.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
10 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ποιήσητε πάντα τὰ διαταχθέντα ὑμῖν, λέγετε ὅτι δοῦλοι ἀχρεῖοί ἐσμεν, ὅτι ὃ ὠφείλομεν ποιῆσαι πεποιήκαμεν.
11 Και ότε αυτός επορεύετο εις την Ιερουσαλήμ, διέβαινε διά μέσου της Σαμαρείας και Γαλιλαίας.
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
11 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ αὐτὸς διήρχετο διὰ μέσου Σαμαρείας καὶ Γαλιλαίας.
12 Και ενώ εισήρχετο εις τινά κώμην, απήντησαν αυτόν δέκα άνθρωποι λεπροί, οίτινες εστάθησαν μακρόθεν,
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
12 καὶ εἰσερχομένου αὐτοῦ εἴς τινα κώμην ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ δέκα λεπροὶ ἄνδρες, οἳ ἔστησαν πόρρωθεν,
13 και αυτοί ύψωσαν φωνήν, λέγοντες· Ιησού, Επιστάτα, ελέησον ημάς.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦραν φωνὴν λέγοντες· Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
14 Και ιδών είπε προς αυτούς· Υπάγετε και δείξατε εαυτούς εις τους ιερείς. Και ενώ, επορεύοντο, εκαθαρίσθησαν.
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
14 καὶ ἰδὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.
15 Εις δε εξ αυτών, ιδών ότι ιατρεύθη, υπέστρεψε μετά φωνής μεγάλης δοξάζων τον Θεόν,
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
15 εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη, ὑπέστρεψε μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν,
16 και έπεσε κατά πρόσωπον εις τους πόδας αυτού, ευχαριστών αυτόν· και αυτός ήτο Σαμαρείτης.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
16 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν Σαμαρείτης.
17 Αποκριθείς δε ο Ιησούς είπε· Δεν εκαθαρίσθησαν οι δέκα; οι δε εννέα που είναι;
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
17 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν; οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ;
18 Δεν ευρέθησαν άλλοι να υποστρέψωσι διά να δοξάσωσι τον Θεόν ειμή ο αλλογενής ούτος;
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
18 οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ὑποστρέψαντες δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς οὗτος;
19 Και είπε προς αυτόν· Σηκωθείς ύπαγε· η πίστις σου σε έσωσεν.
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀναστὰς πορεύου· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
20 Ερωτηθείς δε υπό των Φαρισαίων, πότε έρχεται η βασιλεία του Θεού, απεκρίθη προς αυτούς και είπε· Δεν έρχεται η βασιλεία του Θεού ούτως ώστε να παρατηρήται·
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
20 Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,
21 ουδέ θέλουσιν ειπεί· Ιδού, εδώ είναι, ή Ιδού εκεί· διότι ιδού, η βασιλεία του Θεού είναι εντός υμών.
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
21 οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
22 Είπε δε προς τους μαθητάς· θέλουσιν ελθεί ημέραι, ότε θέλετε επιθυμήσει να ίδητε μίαν των ημερών του Υιού του ανθρώπου, και δεν θέλετε ιδεί.
22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
22 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.
23 και θέλουσι σας ειπεί· Ιδού, εδώ είναι, ή Ιδού εκεί· μη υπάγητε μηδ' ακολουθήσητε.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
23 καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.
24 Διότι ως η αστραπή η αστράπτουσα εκ της υπ' ουρανόν λάμπει εις την υπ' ουρανόν, ούτω θέλει είσθαι και ο Υιός του ανθρώπου εν τη ημέρα αυτού.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
24 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.
25 Πρώτον όμως πρέπει αυτός να πάθη πολλά και να καταφρονηθή από της γενεάς ταύτης.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
26 Και καθώς έγεινεν εν ταις ημέραις του Νώε, ούτω θέλει είσθαι και εν ταις ημέραις του Υιού του ανθρώπου·
26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
26 καὶ καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
27 έτρωγον, έπινον, ενύμφευον, ενυμφεύοντο, μέχρι της ημέρας καθ' ην ο Νώε εισήλθεν εις την κιβωτόν, και ήλθεν ο κατακλυσμός και απώλεσεν άπαντας.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
27 ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἐγάμουν, ἐξεγαμίζοντο, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
28 Ομοίως και καθώς έγεινεν εν ταις ημέραις του Λώτ· έτρωγον, έπινον, ηγόραζον, επώλουν, εφύτευον, ωκοδόμουν·
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
28 ὁμοίως καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν·
29 καθ' ην δε ημέραν εξήλθεν ο Λωτ από Σοδόμων, έβρεξε πυρ και θείον απ' ουρανού και απώλεσεν άπαντας.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
29 ᾗ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξῆλθε Λὼτ ἀπὸ Σοδόμων, ἔβρεξε πῦρ καὶ θεῖον ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
30 Ωσαύτως θέλει είσθαι καθ' ην ημέραν ο Υιός του ανθρώπου θέλει φανερωθή.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
30 κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποκαλύπτεται.
31 Κατ' εκείνην την ημέραν όστις ευρεθή επί του δώματος και τα σκεύη αυτού εν τη οικία, ας μη καταβή διά να λάβη αυτά, και όστις εν τω αγρώ ομοίως ας μη επιστρέψη εις τα οπίσω.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
31 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
32 Ενθυμείσθε την γυναίκα του Λωτ.
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
32 μνημονεύετε τῆς γυναικὸς Λώτ.
33 Όστις ζητήση να σώση την ζωήν αυτού, θέλει απολέσει αυτήν, και όστις απολέση αυτήν, θέλει διαφυλάξει αυτήν.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
33 ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ αὐτήν, ζωογονήσει αὐτήν.
34 Σας λέγω, Εν τη νυκτί εκείνη θέλουσιν είσθαι δύο επί μιας κλίνης, ο εις παραλαμβάνεται και ο άλλος αφίνεται·
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
34 λέγω ὑμῖν, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ δύο ἔσονται ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται·
35 δύο γυναίκες θέλουσιν αλέθει ομού, η μία παραλαμβάνεται και η άλλη αφίνεται·
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
35 δύο ἔσονται ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, μία παραληφθήσεται καὶ ἡ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται·
36 δύο θέλουσιν είσθαι εν τω αγρώ, ο εις παραλαμβάνεται και ο άλλος αφίνεται.
36 Not in this translation
36 δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται.
37 Και αποκριθέντες λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Που, Κύριε; Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Όπου είναι το σώμα, εκεί θέλουσι συναχθή οι αετοί.
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
37 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται [καὶ] οἱ ἀετοί.

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 17:3 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXIV)

    The Holy Gospel which we heard just now as it was being read, has admonished touching the remission of sins. And on this subject must ye be admonished now by my discourse.
