< Luke 8 >

1 And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ καθεξῆς, καὶ αὐτὸς διώδευεν κατὰ πόλιν καὶ κώμην, κηρύσσων καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενος τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ δώδεκα σὺν αὐτῷ,
2 and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
καὶ γυναῖκές τινες αἳ ἦσαν τεθεραπευμέναι ἀπὸ πνευμάτων πονηρῶν καὶ ἀσθενειῶν: Μαρία ἡ καλουμένη Μαγδαληνή, ἀφʼ ἧς δαιμόνια ἑπτὰ ἐξεληλύθει,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
καὶ Ἰωάννα γυνὴ Χουζᾶ ἐπιτρόπου Ἡρῴδου, καὶ Σουσάννα, καὶ ἕτεραι πολλαί, αἵτινες διηκόνουν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐταῖς.
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
Συνιόντος δὲ ὄχλου πολλοῦ καὶ τῶν κατὰ πόλιν ἐπιπορευομένων πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἶπεν διὰ παραβολῆς:
5 “The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“Ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν, ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ κατεπατήθη καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
6 And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
Καὶ ἕτερον κατέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, καὶ φυὲν ἐξηράνθη διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ἰκμάδα.
7 And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
Καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν, καὶ συμφυεῖσαι αἱ ἄκανθαι ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτό.
8 And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
Καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθήν, καὶ φυὲν ἐποίησεν καρπὸν ἑκατονταπλασίονα.” Ταῦτα λέγων, ἐφώνει, “Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω.”
9 And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
Ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, “Τίς αὕτη εἴη ἡ παραβολή;”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἵνα ‘βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ συνιῶσιν’.
11 And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
Ἔστιν δὲ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή: ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
Οἱ δὲ παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, εἶτα ἔρχεται ὁ διάβολος καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ πιστεύσαντες σωθῶσιν.
13 And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν μετὰ χαρᾶς δέχονται τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὗτοι ῥίζαν οὐκ ἔχουσιν, οἳ πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσιν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ ἀφίστανται.
14 And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
Τὸ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας πεσόν, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ μεριμνῶν, καὶ πλούτου, καὶ ἡδονῶν τοῦ βίου, πορευόμενοι συμπνίγονται καὶ οὐ τελεσφοροῦσιν.
15 And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
Τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ, ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσιν, καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας, καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ λυχνίας τίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσιν τὸ φῶς.
17 for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
Οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ μὴ γνωσθῇ καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.
18 See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς ἂν γὰρ ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.”
19 And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
Παρεγένετο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.
20 and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
Ἀπηγγέλη δὲ αὐτῷ, “Ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν θέλοντές σε.”
21 and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες.”
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς λίμνης”. Καὶ ἀνήχθησαν.
23 and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
Πλεόντων δὲ αὐτῶν, ἀφύπνωσεν. Καὶ κατέβη λαῖλαψ ἀνέμου εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ συνεπληροῦντο καὶ ἐκινδύνευον.
24 And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
Προσελθόντες δὲ, διήγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Ἐπιστάτα, Ἐπιστάτα, ἀπολλύμεθα!” Ὁ δὲ διεγερθεὶς, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ, καὶ τῷ κλύδωνι, τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη.
25 and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, “Ποῦ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν;” Φοβηθέντες δὲ, ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους, “Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ τοῖς ἀνέμοις ἐπιτάσσει καὶ τῷ ὕδατι;” καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;”
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
Καὶ κατέπλευσαν εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γερασηνῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἀντιπέρα τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
27 and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
Ἐξελθόντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ὑπήντησεν ἀνήρ τις ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἔχων δαιμόνια, καὶ χρόνῳ ἱκανῷ οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἱμάτιον, καὶ ἐν οἰκίᾳ οὐκ ἔμενεν, ἀλλʼ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν.
28 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
Ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀνακράξας προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἶπεν, “Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, ˚Ἰησοῦ, Υἱὲ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τοῦ Ὑψίστου; Δέομαί σου, μή με βασανίσῃς!”
29 For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
Παρήγγειλεν γὰρ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. Πολλοῖς γὰρ χρόνοις συνηρπάκει αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδεσμεύετο ἁλύσεσιν καὶ πέδαις, φυλασσόμενος, καὶ διαρρήσσων τὰ δεσμὰ, ἠλαύνετο ὑπὸ τοῦ δαιμονίου εἰς τὰς ἐρήμους.
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
Ἐπηρώτησεν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τί σοι ὄνομά ἐστιν;” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Λεγεών”, ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν δαιμόνια πολλὰ εἰς αὐτόν.
31 and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
Καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μὴ ἐπιτάξῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς τὴν Ἄβυσσον ἀπελθεῖν. (Abyssos g12)
32 and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
Ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἀγέλη χοίρων ἱκανῶν βοσκομένη ἐν τῷ ὄρει, καὶ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιτρέψῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἐκείνους εἰσελθεῖν. Καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς.
33 and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
Ἐξελθόντα δὲ τὰ δαιμόνια ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ ἀπεπνίγη.
34 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ βόσκοντες, τὸ γεγονὸς, ἔφυγον καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς.
35 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
Ἐξῆλθον δὲ ἰδεῖν τὸ γεγονὸς, καὶ ἦλθαν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ εὗραν καθήμενον τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀφʼ οὗ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐξῆλθεν, ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
Ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες, πῶς ἐσώθη ὁ δαιμονισθείς.
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
Καὶ ἠρώτησεν αὐτὸν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῆς περιχώρου τῶν Γερασηνῶν, ἀπελθεῖν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, ὅτι φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο. Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐμβὰς, εἰς πλοῖον, ὑπέστρεψεν.
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
Ἐδεῖτο δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀφʼ οὗ ἐξεληλύθει τὰ δαιμόνια, εἶναι σὺν αὐτῷ. Ἀπέλυσεν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγων,
39 “Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
“Ὑπόστρεφε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, καὶ διηγοῦ ὅσα σοι ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Θεός.” Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καθʼ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν, κηρύσσων ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς.
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
Ἐν δὲ τῷ ὑποστρέφειν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπεδέξατο αὐτὸν ὁ ὄχλος, ἦσαν γὰρ πάντες προσδοκῶντες αὐτόν.
41 and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἦλθεν ἀνὴρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος, καὶ οὗτος ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς ὑπῆρχεν, καὶ πεσὼν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας ˚Ἰησοῦ, παρεκάλει αὐτὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ,
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
ὅτι θυγάτηρ μονογενὴς ἦν αὐτῷ, ὡς ἐτῶν δώδεκα, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέθνῃσκεν. Ἐν δὲ τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτὸν, οἱ ὄχλοι συνέπνιγον αὐτόν.
43 and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
Καὶ γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἀπὸ ἐτῶν δώδεκα, ἥτις οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἀπʼ οὐδενὸς θεραπευθῆναι,
44 having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
προσελθοῦσα ὄπισθεν, ἥψατο τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ παραχρῆμα ἔστη ἡ ῥύσις τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς.
45 And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τίς ὁ ἁψάμενός μου;” Ἀρνουμένων δὲ πάντων, εἶπεν ὁ Πέτρος, “Ἐπιστάτα, οἱ ὄχλοι συνέχουσίν σε καὶ ἀποθλίβουσιν.”
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Ἥψατό μού τις, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἔγνων δύναμιν ἐξεληλυθυῖαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.”
47 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
Ἰδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γυνὴ ὅτι οὐκ ἔλαθεν, τρέμουσα ἦλθεν καὶ προσπεσοῦσα αὐτῷ, διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν ἥψατο αὐτοῦ, ἀπήγγειλεν ἐνώπιον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἰάθη παραχρῆμα.
48 and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “Θύγατερ, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.”
49 While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἔρχεταί τις παρὰ τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λέγων, ὅτι “Τέθνηκεν ἡ θυγάτηρ σου, μηκέτι σκύλλε τὸν διδάσκαλον.”
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀκούσας, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε, καὶ σωθήσεται.”
51 And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
Ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, οὐκ ἀφῆκεν εἰσελθεῖν τινα σὺν αὐτῷ, εἰ μὴ Πέτρον, καὶ Ἰωάννην, καὶ Ἰάκωβον, καὶ τὸν πατέρα τῆς παιδὸς, καὶ τὴν μητέρα.
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
Ἔκλαιον δὲ πάντες καὶ ἐκόπτοντο αὐτήν. Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Μὴ κλαίετε, οὐ γὰρ ἀπέθανεν, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει.”
53 and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
Καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ, εἰδότες ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.
54 and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
Αὐτὸς δὲ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, ἐφώνησεν λέγων, “Ἡ παῖς, ἔγειρε!”
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀνέστη παραχρῆμα, καὶ διέταξεν αὐτῇ δοθῆναι φαγεῖν.
56 and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
Καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτῆς· ὁ δὲ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς μηδενὶ εἰπεῖν τὸ γεγονός.
