Mark 12
1 Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
και ηρξατο αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγειν αμπελωνα εφυτευσεν ανθρωποσ και περιεθηκεν φραγμον και ωρυξεν υποληνιον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
και απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ τω καιρω δουλον ινα παρα των γεωργων λαβη απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
οι δε λαβοντεσ αυτον εδειραν και απεστειλαν κενον
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
και παλιν απεστειλεν προσ αυτουσ αλλον δουλον κακεινον λιθοβολησαντεσ εκεφαλαιωσαν και απεστειλαν ητιμωμενον
5 Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
και παλιν αλλον απεστειλεν κακεινον απεκτειναν και πολλουσ αλλουσ τουσ μεν δεροντεσ τουσ δε αποκτενοντεσ
6 He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
ετι ουν ενα υιον εχων αγαπητον αυτου απεστειλεν και αυτον προσ αυτουσ εσχατον λεγων οτι εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
7 "But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
εκεινοι δε οι γεωργοι ειπον προσ εαυτουσ οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και ημων εσται η κληρονομια
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
και λαβοντεσ αυτον απεκτειναν και εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνοσ
9 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."
τι ουν ποιησει ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ ελευσεται και απολεσει τουσ γεωργουσ και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοισ
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
ουδε την γραφην ταυτην ανεγνωτε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοισ ημων
12 And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to them. So they left Him and went away.
και εζητουν αυτον κρατησαι και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ειπεν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
και αποστελλουσιν προσ αυτον τινασ των φαρισαιων και των ηρωδιανων ινα αυτον αγρευσωσιν λογω
14 So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
οι δε ελθοντεσ λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ ει και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενοσ ου γαρ βλεπεισ εισ προσωπον ανθρωπων αλλ επ αληθειασ την οδον του θεου διδασκεισ εξεστιν κηνσον καισαρι δουναι η ου
15 Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."
δωμεν η μη δωμεν ο δε ειδωσ αυτων την υποκρισιν ειπεν αυτοισ τι με πειραζετε φερετε μοι δηναριον ινα ιδω
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
οι δε ηνεγκαν και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη οι δε ειπον αυτω καισαροσ
17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αποδοτε τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω και εθαυμασαν επ αυτω
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
και ερχονται σαδδουκαιοι προσ αυτον οιτινεσ λεγουσιν αναστασιν μη ειναι και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ
19 "Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
διδασκαλε μωσησ εγραψεν ημιν οτι εαν τινοσ αδελφοσ αποθανη και καταλιπη γυναικα και τεκνα μη αφη ινα λαβη ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
επτα αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτοσ ελαβεν γυναικα και αποθνησκων ουκ αφηκεν σπερμα
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
και ο δευτεροσ ελαβεν αυτην και απεθανεν και ουδε αυτοσ αφηκεν σπερμα και ο τριτοσ ωσαυτωσ
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
και ελαβον αυτην οι επτα και ουκ αφηκαν σπερμα εσχατη παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
εν τη αναστασει οταν αναστωσιν τινοσ αυτων εσται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ου δια τουτο πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
25 For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
οταν γαρ εκ νεκρων αναστωσιν ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμισκονται αλλ εισιν ωσ αγγελοι οι εν τοισ ουρανοισ
26 But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
περι δε των νεκρων οτι εγειρονται ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τη βιβλω μωσεωσ επι του βατου ωσ ειπεν αυτω ο θεοσ λεγων εγω ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ νεκρων αλλα θεοσ ζωντων υμεισ ουν πολυ πλανασθε
28 Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
και προσελθων εισ των γραμματεων ακουσασ αυτων συζητουντων ειδωσ οτι καλωσ αυτοισ απεκριθη επηρωτησεν αυτον ποια εστιν πρωτη παντων εντολη
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
ο δε ιησουσ απεκριθη αυτω οτι πρωτη παντων των εντολων ακουε ισραηλ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων κυριοσ εισ εστιν
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
και αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ σου και εξ ολησ τησ διανοιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ σου αυτη πρωτη εντολη
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
και δευτερα ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον μειζων τουτων αλλη εντολη ουκ εστιν
32 So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
και ειπεν αυτω ο γραμματευσ καλωσ διδασκαλε επ αληθειασ ειπασ οτι εισ εστιν και ουκ εστιν αλλοσ πλην αυτου
33 and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
και το αγαπαν αυτον εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ και εξ ολησ τησ συνεσεωσ και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ και το αγαπαν τον πλησιον ωσ εαυτον πλειον εστιν παντων των ολοκαυτωματων και θυσιων
34 Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
και ο ιησουσ ιδων αυτον οτι νουνεχωσ απεκριθη ειπεν αυτω ου μακραν ει απο τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και ουδεισ ουκετι ετολμα αυτον επερωτησαι
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ελεγεν διδασκων εν τω ιερω πωσ λεγουσιν οι γραμματεισ οτι ο χριστοσ υιοσ εστιν δαυιδ
36 David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
αυτοσ γαρ δαυιδ ειπεν εν πνευματι αγιω λεγει ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
αυτοσ ουν δαυιδ λεγει αυτον κυριον και ποθεν υιοσ αυτου εστιν και ο πολυσ οχλοσ ηκουεν αυτου ηδεωσ
38 Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου βλεπετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων εν στολαισ περιπατειν και ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
και πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και πρωτοκλισιασ εν τοισ δειπνοισ
40 and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
οι κατεσθιοντεσ τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
41 Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
και καθισασ ο ιησουσ κατεναντι του γαζοφυλακιου εθεωρει πωσ ο οχλοσ βαλλει χαλκον εισ το γαζοφυλακιον και πολλοι πλουσιοι εβαλλον πολλα
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
και ελθουσα μια χηρα πτωχη εβαλεν λεπτα δυο ο εστιν κοδραντησ
43 So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγει αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα αυτη η πτωχη πλειον παντων βεβληκεν των βαλλοντων εισ το γαζοφυλακιον
44 for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
παντεσ γαρ εκ του περισσευοντοσ αυτοισ εβαλον αυτη δε εκ τησ υστερησεωσ αυτησ παντα οσα ειχεν εβαλεν ολον τον βιον αυτησ
