Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.
εν εκεινω τω καιρω επορευθη ο ιησουσ τοισ σαββασιν δια των σποριμων οι δε μαθηται αυτου επεινασαν και ηρξαντο τιλλειν σταχυασ και εσθιειν
2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
οι δε φαρισαιοι ιδοντεσ ειπον αυτω ιδου οι μαθηται σου ποιουσιν ο ουκ εξεστιν ποιειν εν σαββατω
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν δαυιδ οτε επεινασεν αυτοσ και οι μετ αυτου
4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
πωσ εισηλθεν εισ τον οικον του θεου και τουσ αρτουσ τησ προθεσεωσ εφαγεν ουσ ουκ εξον ην αυτω φαγειν ουδε τοισ μετ αυτου ει μη τοισ ιερευσιν μονοισ
5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
η ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τω νομω οτι τοισ σαββασιν οι ιερεισ εν τω ιερω το σαββατον βεβηλουσιν και αναιτιοι εισιν
6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
λεγω δε υμιν οτι του ιερου μειζον εστιν ωδε
7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
ει δε εγνωκειτε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ουκ αν κατεδικασατε τουσ αναιτιουσ
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
κυριοσ γαρ εστιν του σαββατου ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,
και μεταβασ εκειθεν ηλθεν εισ την συναγωγην αυτων
10 and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
και ιδου ανθρωποσ ην την χειρα εχων ξηραν και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ ει εξεστιν τοισ σαββασιν θεραπευειν ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου
11 He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?
ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ τισ εσται εξ υμων ανθρωποσ οσ εξει προβατον εν και εαν εμπεση τουτο τοισ σαββασιν εισ βοθυνον ουχι κρατησει αυτο και εγερει
12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
ποσω ουν διαφερει ανθρωποσ προβατου ωστε εξεστιν τοισ σαββασιν καλωσ ποιειν
13 Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.
τοτε λεγει τω ανθρωπω εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εξετεινεν και αποκατεσταθη υγιησ ωσ η αλλη
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
οι δε φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον κατ αυτου εξελθοντεσ οπωσ αυτον απολεσωσιν
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,
ο δε ιησουσ γνουσ ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ παντασ
16 warning them not to make Him known.
και επετιμησεν αυτοισ ινα μη φανερον αυτον ποιησωσιν
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ
18 “Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
ιδου ο παισ μου ον ηρετισα ο αγαπητοσ μου εισ ον ευδοκησεν η ψυχη μου θησω το πνευμα μου επ αυτον και κρισιν τοισ εθνεσιν απαγγελει
19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.
ουκ ερισει ουδε κραυγασει ουδε ακουσει τισ εν ταισ πλατειαισ την φωνην αυτου
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.
καλαμον συντετριμμενον ου κατεαξει και λινον τυφομενον ου σβεσει εωσ αν εκβαλη εισ νικοσ την κρισιν
21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”
και τω ονοματι αυτου εθνη ελπιουσιν
22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.
τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω δαιμονιζομενοσ τυφλοσ και κωφοσ και εθεραπευσεν αυτον ωστε τον τυφλον και κωφον και λαλειν και βλεπειν
23 The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”
και εξισταντο παντεσ οι οχλοι και ελεγον μητι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ δαυιδ
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”
οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντεσ ειπον ουτοσ ουκ εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια ει μη εν τω βεελζεβουλ αρχοντι των δαιμονιων
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
ειδωσ δε ο ιησουσ τασ ενθυμησεισ αυτων ειπεν αυτοισ πασα βασιλεια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτησ ερημουται και πασα πολισ η οικια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτησ ου σταθησεται
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
και ει ο σατανασ τον σαταναν εκβαλλει εφ εαυτον εμερισθη πωσ ουν σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου
27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
και ει εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο αυτοι υμων εσονται κριται
28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
ει δε εν πνευματι θεου εγω εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
29 Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
η πωσ δυναται τισ εισελθειν εισ την οικιαν του ισχυρου και τα σκευη αυτου διαρπασαι εαν μη πρωτον δηση τον ισχυρον και τοτε την οικιαν αυτου διαρπασει
30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
δια τουτο λεγω υμιν πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια αφεθησεται τοισ ανθρωποισ η δε του πνευματοσ βλασφημια ουκ αφεθησεται τοισ ανθρωποισ
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come. (aiōn g165)
και οσ εαν ειπη λογον κατα του υιου του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω οσ δ αν ειπη κατα του πνευματοσ του αγιου ουκ αφεθησεται αυτω ουτε εν τω νυν αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι (aiōn g165)
33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.
η ποιησατε το δενδρον καλον και τον καρπον αυτου καλον η ποιησατε το δενδρον σαπρον και τον καρπον αυτου σαπρον εκ γαρ του καρπου το δενδρον γινωσκεται
34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
γεννηματα εχιδνων πωσ δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντεσ εκ γαρ του περισσευματοσ τησ καρδιασ το στομα λαλει
35 The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.
ο αγαθοσ ανθρωποσ εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηροσ ανθρωποσ εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα
36 But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο εαν λαλησωσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεωσ
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
τοτε απεκριθησαν τινεσ των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε θελομεν απο σου σημειον ιδειν
39 Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλισ σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
ωσπερ γαρ ην ιωνασ εν τη κοιλια του κητουσ τρεισ ημερασ και τρεισ νυκτασ ουτωσ εσται ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου εν τη καρδια τησ γησ τρεισ ημερασ και τρεισ νυκτασ
41 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
ανδρεσ νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εισ το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινει αυτην οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων τησ γησ ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνοσ και ιδου πλειον σολομωνοσ ωδε
43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
οταν δε το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και ουχ ευρισκει
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.
τοτε λεγει επιστρεψω εισ τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον και ελθον ευρισκει σχολαζοντα σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει μεθ εαυτου επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων ουτωσ εσται και τη γενεα ταυτη τη πονηρα
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.
ετι δε αυτου λαλουντοσ τοισ οχλοισ ιδου η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ειστηκεισαν εξω ζητουντεσ αυτω λαλησαι
47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”
ειπεν δε τισ αυτω ιδου η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εξω εστηκασιν ζητουντεσ σοι λαλησαι
48 But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν τω ειποντι αυτω τισ εστιν η μητηρ μου και τινεσ εισιν οι αδελφοι μου
49 Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.
και εκτεινασ την χειρα αυτου επι τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ειπεν ιδου η μητηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου
50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
οστισ γαρ αν ποιηση το θελημα του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ αυτοσ μου αδελφοσ και αδελφη και μητηρ εστιν
