< Matthew 22 >

1 And having responded, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying,
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους παλιν ειπεν αυτοις εν παραβολαις λεγων
2 The kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a king who made a wedding for his son.
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου
3 And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
4 Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.
παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους
5 But having disregarded, they departed, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ο μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εις την εμποριαν αυτου
6 and the others having seized his bondmen, abused and killed them.
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν
7 But having heard that, the king was angry, and having sent forth his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding is indeed ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι
9 Go ye therefore to the crossings of the ways, and as many as ye may find, call to the wedding festivities.
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους αν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους
10 And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας οσους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο γαμος ανακειμενων
11 But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.
εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
12 And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη
13 Then the king said to the helpers, After binding him hands and feet, take him away and cast him out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
14 For many are called, but few chosen.
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
15 Then the Pharisees having departed, they took counsel how they might trap him in his talk.
τοτε πορευθεντες οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπως αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω
16 And they send out their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to thee about a man, for thou look not to the personage of men.
και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων
17 Tell us therefore, what does it seem to thee? Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου
18 But Jesus having known their wickedness, said, Why do ye tempt me, ye hypocrites?
γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται
19 Exhibit to me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denarius.
επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον
20 And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
και λεγει αυτοις τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη
21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Therefore, render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
λεγουσιν αυτω καισαρος τοτε λεγει αυτοις αποδοτε ουν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
22 And when they heard it, they marveled. And having left him, they departed.
και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν και αφεντες αυτον απηλθον
23 On that day Sadducees came to him, those who claim to be no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον
24 Teacher, Moses said, If some man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης ειπεν εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first having married perished. And having no seed left his wife to his brother.
ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος γαμησας ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, until the seventh.
ομοιως και ο δευτερος και ο τριτος εως των επτα
27 And last of all, the woman also died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
28 In the resurrection therefore, which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her.
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος των επτα εσται γυνη παντες γαρ εσχον αυτην
29 But having answered, Jesus said to them, Ye are led astray, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις πλανασθε μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents of God in heaven.
εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ως αγγελοι του θεου εν ουρανω εισιν
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντος
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.
εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεος θεος νεκρων αλλα ζωντων
33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his doctrine.
και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he silenced the Sadducees, they came together in the same place.
οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες οτι εφιμωσεν τους σαδδουκαιους συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο
35 And one of them, a lawyer, questioned, trying him, and saying,
και επηρωτησεν εις εξ αυτων νομικος πειραζων αυτον και λεγων
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτω αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
38 This is the first and great commandment.
αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη
39 And the second is like it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
εν ταυταις ταις δυσιν εντολαις ολος ο νομος και οι προφηται κρεμανται
41 Now the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus interrogated them, saying,
συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτους ο ιησους
42 What does it seem to you about the Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him, Of David.
λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινος υιος εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαβιδ
43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
λεγει αυτοις πως ουν δαβιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
45 If David therefore calls him Lord, how is he his son?
ει ουν δαβιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πως υιος αυτου εστιν
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man from that day dare to question him any more.
και ουδεις εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τις απ εκεινης της ημερας επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι
