Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Εν εκείνω τω καιρώ επορεύετο ο Ιησούς διά των σπαρτών εν σαββάτω· οι δε μαθηταί αυτού επείνασαν και ήρχισαν να ανασπώσιν αστάχυα και να τρώγωσιν.
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 Οι δε Φαρισαίοι ιδόντες είπον προς αυτόν· Ιδού, οι μαθηταί σου πράττουσιν ό,τι δεν συγχωρείται να πράττηται το σάββατον.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Δεν ανεγνώσατε τι έπραξεν ο Δαβίδ ότε επείνασεν αυτός και οι μετ' αυτού;
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4 πως εισήλθεν εις τον οίκον του Θεού και έφαγε τους άρτους της προθέσεως, τους οποίους δεν ήτο συγκεχωρημένον εις αυτόν να φάγη, ούτε εις τους μετ' αυτού, ειμή εις τους ιερείς μόνους;
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Η δεν ανεγνώσατε εν τω νόμω ότι εν τοις σάββασιν οι ιερείς βεβηλόνουσι το σάββατον εν τω ιερώ και είναι αθώοι;
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 Σας λέγω δε ότι εδώ είναι μεγαλήτερος του ιερού.
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
7 Εάν όμως εγνωρίζετε τι είναι Έλεον θέλω και ουχί θυσίαν, δεν ηθέλετε καταδικάσει τους αθώους.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
8 Διότι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου είναι κύριος και του σαββάτου.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Και μεταβάς εκείθεν ήλθεν εις την συναγωγήν αυτών.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
10 Και ιδού, ήτο άνθρωπος έχων την χείρα ξηράν· και ηρώτησαν αυτόν λέγοντες· Συγχωρείται τάχα να θεραπεύη τις εν τω σαββάτω; διά να κατηγορήσωσιν αυτόν.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
11 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Τις άνθρωπος από σας θέλει είσθαι, όστις έχων πρόβατον εν, εάν τούτο πέση εν τω σαββάτω εις λάκκον, δεν θέλει πιάσει και σηκώσει αυτό;
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
12 πόσον λοιπόν διαφέρει άνθρωπος προβάτου; ώστε συγχωρείται εν τω σαββάτω να αγαθοποιή τις.
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13 Τότε λέγει προς τον άνθρωπον· Έκτεινον την χείρα σου· και εξέτεινε, και αποκατεστάθη υγιής ως η άλλη.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Οι δε Φαρισαίοι εξελθόντες συνεβουλεύθησαν κατ' αυτού, διά να απολέσωσιν αυτόν.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Αλλ' ο Ιησούς νοήσας ανεχώρησεν εκείθεν· και ηκολούθησαν αυτόν όχλοι πολλοί, και εθεράπευσεν αυτούς πάντας.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16 Και παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς αυστηρώς διά να μη φανερώσωσιν αυτόν,
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
17 διά να πληρωθή το ρηθέν διά Ησαΐου του προφήτου, λέγοντος·
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Ιδού, ο δούλός μου, τον οποίον εξέλεξα, ο αγαπητός μου, εις τον οποίον η ψυχή μου ευηρεστήθη· θέλω θέσει το Πνεύμα μου επ' αυτόν, και θέλει εξαγγείλει κρίσιν εις τα έθνη·
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 δεν θέλει αντιλογήσει ουδέ κραυγάσει, ουδέ θέλει ακούσει τις την φωνήν αυτού εν ταις πλατείαις.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 Κάλαμον συντετριμμένον δεν θέλει θλάσει και λινάριον καπνίζον δεν θέλει σβέσει, εωσού εκφέρη εις νίκην την κρίσιν·
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21 Και εν τω ονόματι αυτού θέλουσιν ελπίσει τα έθνη.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
22 Τότε εφέρθη προς αυτόν δαιμονιζόμενος τυφλός και κωφός, και εθεράπευσεν αυτόν, ώστε ο τυφλός και κωφός και ελάλει και έβλεπε.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 Και εξεπλήττοντο πάντες οι όχλοι και έλεγον· Μήπως είναι ούτος ο υιός του Δαβίδ;
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
24 Οι δε Φαρισαίοι ακούσαντες είπον· Ούτος δεν εκβάλλει τα δαιμόνια ειμή διά του Βεελζεβούλ, του άρχοντος των δαιμονίων.
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
25 Νοήσας δε ο Ιησούς τους διαλογισμούς αυτών, είπε προς αυτούς· Πάσα βασιλεία διαιρεθείσα καθ' εαυτής ερημούται, και πάσα πόλις ή οικία διαιρεθείσα καθ' εαυτής δεν θέλει σταθή.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Και αν ο Σατανάς τον Σατανάν εκβάλλη, διηρέθη καθ' εαυτού· πως λοιπόν θέλει σταθή η βασιλεία αυτού;
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Και αν εγώ διά του Βεελζεβούλ εκβάλλω τα δαιμόνια, οι υιοί σας διά τίνος εκβάλλουσι; διά τούτο αυτοί θέλουσιν είσθαι κριταί σας.
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 Αλλ' εάν εγώ διά Πνεύματος Θεού εκβάλλω τα δαιμόνια, άρα έφθασεν εις εσάς η βασιλεία του Θεού.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
29 Η πως δύναταί τις να εισέλθη εις την οικίαν του δυνατού και να διαρπάση τα σκεύη αυτού, εάν πρώτον δεν δέση τον δυνατόν; και τότε θέλει διαρπάσει την οικίαν αυτού.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
30 Όστις δεν είναι μετ' εμού είναι κατ' εμού, και όστις δεν συνάγει μετ' εμού σκορπίζει.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
31 Διά τούτο σας λέγω, Πάσα αμαρτία και βλασφημία θέλει συγχωρηθή εις τους ανθρώπους, η κατά του Πνεύματος όμως βλασφημία δεν θέλει συγχωρηθή εις τους ανθρώπους·
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32 και όστις είπη λόγον κατά του Υιού του ανθρώπου, θέλει συγχωρηθή εις αυτόν· όστις όμως είπη κατά του Πνεύματος του Αγίου, δεν θέλει συγχωρηθή εις αυτόν ούτε εν τούτω τω αιώνι ούτε εν τω μέλλοντι.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.
33 Η κάμετε το δένδρον καλόν, και τον καρπόν αυτού καλόν, ή κάμετε το δένδρον σαπρόν, και τον καρπόν αυτού σαπρόν· διότι εκ του καρπού γνωρίζεται το δένδρον.
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Γεννήματα εχιδνών, πως δύνασθε να λαλήτε καλά όντες πονηροί; διότι εκ του περισσεύματος της καρδίας λαλεί το στόμα.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 Ο καλός άνθρωπος εκ του καλού θησαυρού της καρδίας εκβάλλει τα καλά, και ο πονηρός άνθρωπος εκ του πονηρού θησαυρού εκβάλλει πονηρά.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
36 Σας λέγω δε ότι διά πάντα λόγον αργόν, τον οποίον ήθελον λαλήσει οι άνθρωποι, θέλουσιν αποδώσει λόγον δι' αυτόν εν ημέρα κρίσεως.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 Διότι εκ των λόγων σου θέλεις δικαιωθή, και εκ των λόγων σου θέλεις καταδικασθή.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38 Τότε απεκρίθησάν τινές των γραμματέων και Φαρισαίων, λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν να ίδωμεν σημείον από σου.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 Εκείνος δε αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· Γενεά πονηρά και μοιχαλίς σημείον ζητεί, και σημείον δεν θέλει δοθή εις αυτήν ειμή το σημείον Ιωνά του προφήτου.
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Διότι ως ο Ιωνάς ήτο εν τη κοιλία του κήτους τρεις ημέρας και τρεις νύκτας, ούτω θέλει είσθαι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου εν τη καρδία της γης τρεις ημέρας και τρεις νύκτας.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Άνδρες Νινευίται θέλουσιν αναστηθή εν τη κρίσει μετά της γενεάς ταύτης και θέλουσι κατακρίνει αυτήν, διότι μετενόησαν εις το κήρυγμα του Ιωνά, και ιδού, πλειότερον του Ιωνά είναι εδώ.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
42 Η βασίλισσα του νότου θέλει σηκωθή εν τη κρίσει μετά της γενεάς ταύτης και θέλει κατακρίνει αυτήν, διότι ήλθεν εκ των περάτων της γης διά να ακούση την σοφίαν του Σολομώντος, και ιδού, πλειότερον του Σολομώντος είναι εδώ.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
43 Όταν δε το ακάθαρτον πνεύμα εξέλθη από του ανθρώπου, διέρχεται δι' ανύδρων τόπων και ζητεί ανάπαυσιν και δεν ευρίσκει.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
44 Τότε λέγει· Ας επιστρέψω εις τον οίκόν μου, όθεν εξήλθον· και ελθόν ευρίσκει αυτόν κενόν, σεσαρωμένον και εστολισμένον.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 Τότε υπάγει και παραλαμβάνει μεθ' εαυτού επτά άλλα πνεύματα πονηρότερα εαυτού, και εισελθόντα κατοικούσιν εκεί, και γίνονται τα έσχατα του ανθρώπου εκείνου χειρότερα των πρώτων. Ούτω θέλει είσθαι και εις την γενεάν ταύτην την πονηράν.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
46 Ενώ δε αυτός ελάλει έτι προς τους όχλους, ιδού, η μήτηρ και οι αδελφοί αυτού ίσταντο έξω, ζητούντες να λαλήσωσι προς αυτόν.
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Είπε δε τις προς αυτόν· Ιδού, η μήτηρ σου και οι αδελφοί σου ίστανται έξω, ζητούντες να λαλήσωσι προς σε.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 Ο δε αποκριθείς προς τον ειπόντα τούτο προς αυτόν είπε· Τις είναι η μήτηρ μου και τίνες είναι οι αδελφοί μου;
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49 Και εκτείνας την χείρα αυτού προς τους μαθητάς αυτού είπεν· Ιδού η μήτηρ μου και οι αδελφοί μου.
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Διότι όστις κάμη το θέλημα του Πατρός μου του εν ουρανοίς, αυτός μου είναι αδελφός και αδελφή και μήτηρ.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

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 12:32 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXI)

    There has been a great question raised touching the late lesson of the Gospel, to the solution of which I am unequal by any power of mine own; but "our sufficiency is of God," to whatever degree we are capable of receiving His aid.

    But Luke saith, "On a double Sabbath." Now what is a double Sabbath? When the cessation from toil is twofold, both that of the regular Sabbath, and that of another feast coming upon it. For they call every cessation from toil, a sabbath.

    For when the unclean spirit of folly has gone forth, and when afterwards he finds them not waiting upon God, but occupied with mere worldly questions, then, "taking seven other spirits more wicked than himself," and inflating the minds of these men with the notion of their being able to conceive of something beyond God, and having fitly prepared them …
