Luke 20
1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντοσ αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι ιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ συν τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ
2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
και ειπον προσ αυτον λεγοντεσ ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεισ η τισ εστιν ο δουσ σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
αποκριθεισ δε ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ερωτησω υμασ καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
οι δε συνελογισαντο προσ εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πασ ο λαοσ καταλιθασει ημασ πεπεισμενοσ γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
και ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
ηρξατο δε προσ τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωποσ εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν χρονουσ ικανουσ
10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντεσ αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντεσ και ατιμασαντεσ εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντεσ εξεβαλον
13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισωσ τουτον ιδοντεσ εντραπησονται
14 But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
ιδοντεσ δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προσ εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
και εκβαλοντεσ αυτον εξω του αμπελωνοσ απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοισ ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ
16 He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
ελευσεται και απολεσει τουσ γεωργουσ τουτουσ και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοισ ακουσαντεσ δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
ο δε εμβλεψασ αυτοισ ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
πασ ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ επιβαλειν επ αυτον τασ χειρασ εν αυτη τη ωρα και εφοβηθησαν εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
και παρατηρησαντεσ απεστειλαν εγκαθετουσ υποκρινομενουσ εαυτουσ δικαιουσ ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εισ το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονοσ
21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθωσ λεγεισ και διδασκεισ και ου λαμβανεισ προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειασ την οδον του θεου διδασκεισ
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
κατανοησασ δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι με πειραζετε
24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινοσ εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντεσ δε ειπον καισαροσ
25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματοσ εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντεσ επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
προσελθοντεσ δε τινεσ των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντεσ αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε μωσησ εγραψεν ημιν εαν τινοσ αδελφοσ αποθανη εχων γυναικα και ουτοσ ατεκνοσ αποθανη ινα λαβη ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτοσ λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνοσ
30 Then the second
και ελαβεν ο δευτεροσ την γυναικα και ουτοσ απεθανεν ατεκνοσ
31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
και ο τριτοσ ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτωσ ωσαυτωσ δε και οι επτα ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 And last of all, the woman died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινοσ αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
και αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ οι υιοι του αιωνοσ τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
οι δε καταξιωθεντεσ του αιωνοσ εκεινου τυχειν και τησ αναστασεωσ τησ εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται (aiōn g165)
36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου τησ αναστασεωσ υιοι οντεσ
37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι και μωσησ εμηνυσεν επι τησ βατου ωσ λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
θεοσ δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντεσ γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
αποκριθεντεσ δε τινεσ των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλωσ ειπασ
40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ πωσ λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
και αυτοσ δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
δαυιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πωσ υιοσ αυτου εστιν
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
ακουοντοσ δε παντοσ του λαου ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων περιπατειν εν στολαισ και φιλουντων ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ και πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και πρωτοκλισιασ εν τοισ δειπνοισ
47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
οι κατεσθιουσιν τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
