Κατα Ματθαιον 22
1 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους παλιν ειπεν αυτοις εν παραβολαις λεγων
And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
2 ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
4 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
5 οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ο μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εις την εμποριαν αυτου
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς εκεινος ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
9 πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους
Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
10 και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας οσους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο γαμος ανακειμενων
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11 εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
12 και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη
and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
13 τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
14 πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
For many are called, but few chosen.
15 τοτε πορευθεντες οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπως αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk.
16 και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων
And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
18 γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?
19 επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον
Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius.
20 και λεγει αυτοις τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 λεγουσιν αυτω καισαρος τοτε λεγει αυτοις αποδοτε ουν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν και αφεντες αυτον απηλθον
And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.
23 εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον
On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
24 λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης ειπεν εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος γαμησας ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;
26 ομοιως και ο δευτερος και ο τριτος εως των επτα
in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
And after them all, the woman died.
28 εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος των επτα εσται η γυνη παντες γαρ εσχον αυτην
In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις πλανασθε μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ως αγγελοι θεου εν ουρανω εισιν
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
31 περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντος
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεος θεος νεκρων αλλα ζωντων
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not [the God] of the dead, but of the living.
33 και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες οτι εφιμωσεν τους σαδδουκαιους συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together.
35 και επηρωτησεν εις εξ αυτων νομικος πειραζων αυτον και λεγων
And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him:
36 διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 ο δε ιησους εφη αυτω αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη
This is the great and first commandment.
39 δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον
And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 εν ταυταις ταις δυσιν εντολαις ολος ο νομος και οι προφηται κρεμανται
On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.
41 συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτους ο ιησους
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινος υιος εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαυιδ
saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David.
43 λεγει αυτοις πως ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων
He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?
45 ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πως υιος αυτου εστιν
If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 και ουδεις εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τις απ εκεινης της ημερας επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι
And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
