Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και εμβάς εις το πλοίον, διεπέρασε και ήλθεν εις την εαυτού πόλιν.
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Και ιδού, έφερον προς αυτόν παραλυτικόν κείμενον επί κλίνης· και ιδών ο Ιησούς την πίστιν αυτών, είπε προς τον παραλυτικόν· Θάρρει, τέκνον· συγκεχωρημέναι είναι εις σε αι αμαρτίαι σου.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Και ιδού, τινές εκ των γραμματέων είπον καθ' εαυτούς· Ούτος βλασφημεί.
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 Και ιδών ο Ιησούς τους διαλογισμούς αυτών, είπε· Διά τι σεις διαλογίζεσθε πονηρά εν ταις καρδίαις σας;
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Διότι τι είναι ευκολώτερον, να είπω, Συγκεχωρημέναι είναι αι αμαρτίαι σου, ή να είπω, Εγέρθητι και περιπάτει;
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 Αλλά διά να γνωρίσητε ότι εξουσίαν έχει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου επί της γης να συγχωρή αμαρτίας, τότε λέγει προς τον παραλυτικόν· Εγερθείς σήκωσον την κλίνην σου και ύπαγε εις τον οίκόν σου.
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 Και εγερθείς ανεχώρησεν εις τον οίκον αυτού.
7 He arose and departed to his house.
8 Ιδόντες δε οι όχλοι, εθαύμασαν και εδόξασαν τον Θεόν, όστις έδωκε τοιαύτην εξουσίαν εις τους ανθρώπους.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 Και διαβαίνων ο Ιησούς εκείθεν είδεν άνθρωπον καθήμενον εις το τελώνιον, Ματθαίον λεγόμενον, και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ακολούθει μοι. Και σηκωθείς ηκολούθησεν αυτόν.
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 Και ενώ εκάθητο εις την τράπεζαν εν τη οικία, ιδού, πολλοί τελώναι και αμαρτωλοί ελθόντες συνεκάθηντο μετά του Ιησού και των μαθητών αυτού.
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Και ιδόντες οι Φαρισαίοι είπον προς τους μαθητάς αυτού· Διά τι ο Διδάσκαλός σας τρώγει μετά των τελωνών και αμαρτωλών;
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Ο δε Ιησούς ακούσας είπε προς αυτούς· Δεν έχουσι χρείαν ιατρού οι υγιαίνοντες, αλλ' οι πάσχοντες.
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 Υπάγετε δε και μάθετε τι είναι, Έλεον θέλω και ουχί θυσίαν. Διότι δεν ήλθον διά να καλέσω δικαίους αλλά αμαρτωλούς εις μετάνοιαν.
13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
14 Τότε έρχονται προς αυτόν οι μαθηταί του Ιωάννου, λέγοντες· Διά τι ημείς και οι Φαρισαίοι νηστεύομεν πολλά, οι δε μαθηταί σου δεν νηστεύουσι;
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 Και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Μήπως δύνανται οι υιοί του νυμφώνος να πενθώσιν, ενόσω είναι μετ' αυτών ο νυμφίος; θέλουσιν όμως ελθεί ημέραι, όταν αφαιρεθή απ' αυτών ο νυμφίος, και τότε θέλουσι νηστεύσει.
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 Και ουδείς βάλλει επίρραμμα αγνάφου πανίου επί ιμάτιον παλαιόν· διότι αφαιρεί το αναπλήρωμα αυτού από του ιματίου, και γίνεται σχίσμα χειρότερον.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Ουδέ βάλλουσιν οίνον νέον εις ασκούς παλαιούς· ει δε μη, σχίζονται οι ασκοί, και ο οίνος εκχέεται και οι ασκοί φθείρονται· αλλά βάλλουσιν οίνον νέον εις ασκούς νέους, και αμφότερα διατηρούνται.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 Ενώ αυτός ελάλει ταύτα προς αυτούς, ιδού, άρχων τις ελθών προσεκύνει αυτόν, λέγων ότι η θυγάτηρ μου ετελεύτησε προ ολίγου· αλλά ελθέ και βάλε την χείρα σου επ' αυτήν και θέλει ζήσει.
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Και σηκωθείς ο Ιησούς ηκολούθησεν αυτόν και οι μαθηταί αυτού.
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 Και ιδού, γυνή αιμορροούσα δώδεκα έτη, πλησιάσασα όπισθεν ήγγισε το άκρον του ιματίου αυτού·
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 διότι έλεγε καθ' εαυτήν, Εάν μόνον εγγίσω το ιμάτιον αυτού, θέλω σωθή.
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Ο δε Ιησούς επιστραφείς και ιδών αυτήν είπε· Θάρρει, θύγατερ· η πίστις σου σε έσωσε. Και εσώθη η γυνή από της ώρας εκείνης.
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Και ελθών ο Ιησούς εις την οικίαν του άρχοντος και ιδών τους αυλητάς και τον όχλον θορυβούμενον,
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 λέγει προς αυτούς· Αναχωρείτε· διότι δεν απέθανε το κοράσιον, αλλά κοιμάται. Και κατεγέλων αυτόν.
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 Ότε δε εξεβλήθη ο όχλος, εισελθών επίασε την χείρα αυτής, και εσηκώθη το κοράσιον.
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 Και διεδόθη η φήμη αύτη εις όλην την γην εκείνην.
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
27 Και ενώ ανεχώρει εκείθεν ο Ιησούς, ηκολούθησαν αυτόν δύο τυφλοί, κράζοντες και λέγοντες· Ελέησον ημάς, υιέ του Δαβίδ.
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28 Και ότε εισήλθεν εις την οικίαν, επλησίασαν εις αυτόν οι τυφλοί, και λέγει προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Πιστεύετε ότι δύναμαι να κάμω τούτο; Λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Ναι, Κύριε.
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Τότε ήγγισε τους οφθαλμούς αυτών, λέγων· Κατά την πίστιν σας ας γείνη εις εσάς.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30 Και ηνοίχθησαν αυτών οι οφθαλμοί· προσέταξε δε αυτούς εντόνως ο Ιησούς, λέγων· Προσέχετε, ας μη εξεύρη τούτο μηδείς.
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 Αλλ' εκείνοι εξελθόντες διεφήμισαν αυτόν εν όλη τη γη εκείνη.
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Ενώ δε αυτοί εξήρχοντο, ιδού, έφεραν προς αυτόν άνθρωπον κωφόν δαιμονιζόμενον·
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 και αφού εξεβλήθη το δαιμόνιον, ελάλησεν ο κωφός, και εθαύμασαν οι όχλοι, λέγοντες ότι ποτέ δεν εφάνη τοιούτον εν τω Ισραήλ.
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Οι δε Φαρισαίοι έλεγον· Διά του άρχοντος των δαιμονίων εκβάλλει τα δαιμόνια.
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
35 Και περιήρχετο ο Ιησούς τας πόλεις πάσας και τας κώμας, διδάσκων εν ταις συναγωγαίς αυτών και κηρύττων το ευαγγέλιον της βασιλείας και θεραπεύων πάσαν νόσον και πάσαν ασθένειαν εν τω λαώ.
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36 Ιδών δε τους όχλους, εσπλαγχνίσθη δι' αυτούς, διότι ήσαν εκλελυμένοι και εσκορπισμένοι ως πρόβατα μη έχοντα ποιμένα.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Τότε λέγει προς τους μαθητάς αυτού· Ο μεν θερισμός πολύς, οι δε εργάται ολίγοι·
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 παρακαλέσατε λοιπόν τον κύριον του θερισμού, διά να αποστείλη εργάτας εις τον θερισμόν αυτού.
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

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).
By His own city here he means Capernaum. For that which gave Him birth was Bethlehem; that which brought Him up, Nazareth; that which had Him continually inhabiting it, Capernaum. This paralytic, however, was different from that one who is set forth in John.

For Christ called not the just nor the chaste to repentance, but the ungodly, and the licentious, and the unjust; His words being, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." For the heavenly Father desires rather the repentance than the punishment of the sinner.
And not merely in works, but also in faith, has God preserved the will of man free and under his own control, saying, "According to thy faith be it unto thee;" thus showing that there is a faith specially belonging to man, since he has an opinion specially his own.
… all things are become new;" and "because our salvation is nearer than when we believed;" and because "the night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and because Thou wilt crown Thy year with blessing, sending the labourers of Thy goodness into Thy harvest, in the sowing of which others have laboured, sending also into another field, whose harvest …

For He said not, what we find Him saying after this, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" because He had not as yet given proof of His power.
