Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, that the priests and the scribes with the elders came upon him,
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν, διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου, ἐπέστησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις,
2 and spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? Or who is he that gave thee this authority?
καὶ εἶπαν λέγοντες πρὸς αὐτόν, “Εἰπὸν ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;”
3 And he answering said to them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ λόγον καὶ εἴπατέ μοι:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων;”
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
Οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες, ὅτι “Ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ‘Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ’, ἐρεῖ, ‘Διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;’
6 But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ‘Ἐξ ἀνθρώπων’, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς, πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι.”
7 And they answered, that they did not know whence it was.
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν, μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν.
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.”
9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.
Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην: “Ἄνθρωπος ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν χρόνους ἱκανούς.
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Καὶ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον, ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ. Οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν, δείραντες κενόν.
11 And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
Καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι δοῦλον· οἱ δὲ, κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες, ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
12 And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
Καὶ προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι· οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες, ἐξέβαλον.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.
Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, ‘Τί ποιήσω; Πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν· ἴσως τοῦτον ἐντραπήσονται.’
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
Ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν, οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες, ‘Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, ἀπέκτειναν. Τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος;
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, God forbid!
Ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους, καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις.” Ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπαν, “Μὴ γένοιτο!”
17 But he, looking upon them, said, What then is this which is written, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone”?
Ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπεν, “Τί οὖν ἐστιν τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο, ‘Λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας’;
18 Every one who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, it will grind him to powder.
Πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπʼ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον, συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφʼ ὃν δʼ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.”
19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας, ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν, ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην.
20 And they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor.
Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες, ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου, ὥστε παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.
21 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.
Καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις, καὶ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλʼ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ διδάσκεις.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Ἔξεστιν ἡμᾶς Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;”
23 But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,
Κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν, εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς,
24 Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and said, Caesar's.
“Δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον· τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν;” οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, “Καίσαρος.”
25 And he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Τοίνυν ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι, καὶ τὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τῷ ˚Θεῷ.”
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
Καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι τοῦ ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ, ἐσίγησαν.
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him,
Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ λέγοντες ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, “If a man's brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”
λέγοντες, “Διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν, ‘Ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.’
29 Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless.
Ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος, λαβὼν γυναῖκα, ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
30 And the second
καὶ ὁ δεύτερος,
31 and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died.
καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ, οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα, καὶ ἀπέθανον.
32 At last the woman also died.
Ὕστερον καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
33 In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife.
Ἐν τῇ οὖν ἀναστάσει, τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; Οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.”
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καὶ γαμίσκονται, (aiōn g165)
35 but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου, τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν, οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται· (aiōn g165)
36 for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται, ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσιν, καὶ υἱοί εἰσιν ˚Θεοῦ, τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροὶ, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου, ὡς λέγει ˚Κύριον, ‘τὸν ˚Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ ˚Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ˚Θεὸν Ἰακώβ’.
38 Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
˚Θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστιν νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων, πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.”
39 Then some of the scribes answering, said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
Ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπαν, “Διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας.”
40 For they dared no longer to ask him any question.
Οὐκέτι γὰρ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.
41 And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is David's son?
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, “Πῶς λέγουσιν τὸν ˚Χριστὸν εἶναι Δαυὶδ Υἱόν;
42 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Αὐτὸς γὰρ Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ Ψαλμῶν, ‘Εἶπεν ὁ ˚Κύριος τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ μου, “Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου,
43 till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.”’
44 David then calleth him lord; and how is he his son?
Δαυὶδ οὖν, αὐτὸν ‘˚Κύριον’, καλεῖ, καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν;”
45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,
46 Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;
“Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς, καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς, καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς, καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,
47 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive a far greater condemnation.
οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν, καὶ προφάσει μακρᾷ προσεύχονται. Οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα.”
