< Matthew 21 >
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
και οτε ηγγισαν εις ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εις βηθφαγη εις το ορος των ελαιων τοτε ιησους απεστειλεν δυο μαθητας
2 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
λεγων αυτοις πορευεσθε εις την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων και ευθεως ευρησετε ονον δεδεμενην και πωλον μετ αυτης λυσαντες αγαγετε μοι
3 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
και εαν τις υμιν ειπη τι ερειτε οτι ο κυριος αυτων χρειαν εχει ευθυς δε αποστελει αυτους
4 Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
τουτο δε γεγονεν ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος
5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων ιδου ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται σοι πραυς και επιβεβηκως επι ονον και επι πωλον υιον υποζυγιου
6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως συνεταξεν αυτοις ο ιησους
7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
ηγαγον την ονον και τον πωλον και επεθηκαν επ αυτων τα ιματια και επεκαθισεν επανω αυτων
8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
ο δε πλειστος οχλος εστρωσαν εαυτων τα ιματια εν τη οδω αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εν τη οδω
9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
οι δε οχλοι οι προαγοντες αυτον και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον λεγοντες ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
και εισελθοντος αυτου εις ιεροσολυμα εσεισθη πασα η πολις λεγουσα τις εστιν ουτος
11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
οι δε οχλοι ελεγον ουτος εστιν ο προφητης ιησους ο απο ναζαρεθ της γαλιλαιας
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
και εισηλθεν ιησους εις το ιερον και εξεβαλεν παντας τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω και τας τραπεζας των κολλυβιστων κατεστρεψεν και τας καθεδρας των πωλουντων τας περιστερας
13 and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.
και λεγει αυτοις γεγραπται ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης κληθησεται υμεις δε αυτον ποιειτε σπηλαιον ληστων
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: and he healed them.
και προσηλθον αυτω τυφλοι και χωλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,
ιδοντες δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις τα θαυμασια α εποιησεν και τους παιδας τους κραζοντας εν τω ιερω και λεγοντας ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ηγανακτησαν
16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
και ειπαν αυτω ακουεις τι ουτοι λεγουσιν ο δε ιησους λεγει αυτοις ναι ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε οτι εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον
17 And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
και καταλιπων αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις βηθανιαν και ηυλισθη εκει
18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
πρωι δε {VAR1: επαναγαγων } {VAR2: επαναγων } εις την πολιν επεινασεν
19 And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn )
και ιδων συκην μιαν επι της οδου ηλθεν επ αυτην και ουδεν ευρεν εν αυτη ει μη φυλλα μονον και λεγει αυτη {VAR1: ου } μηκετι εκ σου καρπος γενηται εις τον αιωνα και εξηρανθη παραχρημα η συκη (aiōn )
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
και ιδοντες οι μαθηται εθαυμασαν λεγοντες πως παραχρημα εξηρανθη η συκη
21 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.
αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν εαν εχητε πιστιν και μη διακριθητε ου μονον το της συκης ποιησετε αλλα καν τω ορει τουτω ειπητε αρθητι και βληθητι εις την θαλασσαν γενησεται
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
και παντα οσα αν αιτησητε εν τη προσευχη πιστευοντες λημψεσθε
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
και ελθοντος αυτου εις το ιερον προσηλθον αυτω διδασκοντι οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου λεγοντες εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις και τις σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
αποκριθεις {VAR1: [δε] } {VAR2: δε } ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ερωτησω υμας καγω λογον ενα ον εαν ειπητε μοι καγω υμιν ερω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?
το βαπτισμα το ιωαννου ποθεν ην εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων οι δε διελογιζοντο εν εαυτοις λεγοντες εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει ημιν δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
26 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων φοβουμεθα τον οχλον παντες γαρ ως προφητην εχουσιν τον ιωαννην
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
και αποκριθεντες τω ιησου ειπαν ουκ οιδαμεν εφη αυτοις και αυτος ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
28 But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.
τι δε υμιν δοκει ανθρωπος ειχεν τεκνα δυο {VAR2: και } προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν τεκνον υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι
29 And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν {VAR1: εγω κυριε και ουκ } {VAR2: ου θελω υστερον δε μεταμεληθεις } απηλθεν
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
προσελθων δε τω {VAR1: δευτερω } {VAR2: ετερω } ειπεν ωσαυτως ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν {VAR1: ου θελω υστερον μεταμεληθεις } {VAR2: εγω κυριε και ουκ } απηλθεν
31 Whether of the twain did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
τις εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατρος λεγουσιν ο {VAR1: υστερος } {VAR2: πρωτος } λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμας εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.
ηλθεν γαρ ιωαννης προς υμας εν οδω δικαιοσυνης και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω υμεις δε ιδοντες ουδε μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω
33 Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, which planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε ανθρωπος ην οικοδεσποτης οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και φραγμον αυτω περιεθηκεν και ωρυξεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδετο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν
34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.
οτε δε ηγγισεν ο καιρος των καρπων απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους λαβειν τους καρπους αυτου
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
και λαβοντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου ον μεν εδειραν ον δε απεκτειναν ον δε ελιθοβολησαν
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.
παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειονας των πρωτων και εποιησαν αυτοις ωσαυτως
37 But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
υστερον δε απεστειλεν προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
οι δε γεωργοι ιδοντες τον υιον ειπον εν εαυτοις ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και σχωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου
39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
και λαβοντες αυτον εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και απεκτειναν
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
οταν ουν ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησει τοις γεωργοις εκεινοις
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
λεγουσιν αυτω κακους κακως απολεσει αυτους και τον αμπελωνα εκδωσεται αλλοις γεωργοις οιτινες αποδωσουσιν αυτω τους καρπους εν τοις καιροις αυτων
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner: This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε εν ταις γραφαις λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
δια τουτο λεγω υμιν οτι αρθησεται αφ υμων η βασιλεια του θεου και δοθησεται εθνει ποιουντι τους καρπους αυτης
44 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
[και ο πεσων επι τον λιθον τουτον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον]
45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου εγνωσαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει
46 And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
και ζητουντες αυτον κρατησαι εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους επει εις προφητην αυτον ειχον
