Κατα Μαρκον 12
1 και ηρξατο αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγειν αμπελωνα εφυτευσεν ανθρωποσ και περιεθηκεν φραγμον και ωρυξεν υποληνιον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν
Then Jesus began to teach them in parables. He said, “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, and dug a pit for a winepress. He built a watchtower and then leased the vineyard to vine growers. Then he went away on a journey.
2 και απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ τω καιρω δουλον ινα παρα των γεωργων λαβη απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ
At the right time, he sent a servant to the vine growers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 οι δε λαβοντεσ αυτον εδειραν και απεστειλαν κενον
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away with nothing.
4 και παλιν απεστειλεν προσ αυτουσ αλλον δουλον κακεινον λιθοβολησαντεσ εκεφαλαιωσαν και απεστειλαν ητιμωμενον
Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
5 και παλιν αλλον απεστειλεν κακεινον απεκτειναν και πολλουσ αλλουσ τουσ μεν δεροντεσ τουσ δε αποκτενοντεσ
He sent yet another, and this one they killed. They treated many others in the same way, beating some and killing others.
6 ετι ουν ενα υιον εχων αγαπητον αυτου απεστειλεν και αυτον προσ αυτουσ εσχατον λεγων οτι εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
He had still one more person to send, a beloved son. He was the last one he sent to them. He said, 'They will respect my son.'
7 εκεινοι δε οι γεωργοι ειπον προσ εαυτουσ οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και ημων εσται η κληρονομια
But the vine growers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
8 και λαβοντεσ αυτον απεκτειναν και εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνοσ
They seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 τι ουν ποιησει ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ ελευσεται και απολεσει τουσ γεωργουσ και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοισ
Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine growers and will give the vineyard to others.
10 ουδε την γραφην ταυτην ανεγνωτε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
Have you not read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone.
11 παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοισ ημων
This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'”
12 και εζητουν αυτον κρατησαι και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ειπεν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον
They sought to arrest Jesus, but they feared the crowd, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. So they left him and went away.
13 και αποστελλουσιν προσ αυτον τινασ των φαρισαιων και των ηρωδιανων ινα αυτον αγρευσωσιν λογω
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him to trap him with words.
14 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
When they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you care for no one's opinion, and you do not show partiality between people. You truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not?”
15 δωμεν η μη δωμεν ο δε ειδωσ αυτων την υποκρισιν ειπεν αυτοισ τι με πειραζετε φερετε μοι δηναριον ινα ιδω
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy and said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius so I can look at it.”
16 οι δε ηνεγκαν και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη οι δε ειπον αυτω καισαροσ
They brought one to Jesus. He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.”
17 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αποδοτε τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω και εθαυμασαν επ αυτω
Jesus said, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” They marveled at him.
18 και ερχονται σαδδουκαιοι προσ αυτον οιτινεσ λεγουσιν αναστασιν μη ειναι και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ
Then Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 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
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, but no child, the man should take the brother's wife, and raise up a descendant for his brother.'
20 επτα αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτοσ ελαβεν γυναικα και αποθνησκων ουκ αφηκεν σπερμα
There were seven brothers; the first took a wife and then died, leaving no children.
21 και ο δευτεροσ ελαβεν αυτην και απεθανεν και ουδε αυτοσ αφηκεν σπερμα και ο τριτοσ ωσαυτωσ
Then the second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.
22 και ελαβον αυτην οι επτα και ουκ αφηκαν σπερμα εσχατη παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
The seven left no children. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 εν τη αναστασει οταν αναστωσιν τινοσ αυτων εσται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven brothers had her as their wife.”
24 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ου δια τουτο πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
Jesus said, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God?
25 οταν γαρ εκ νεκρων αναστωσιν ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμισκονται αλλ εισιν ωσ αγγελοι οι εν τοισ ουρανοισ
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.
26 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
But concerning the dead that are raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account about the bush, how God spoke to him and said, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?
27 ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ νεκρων αλλα θεοσ ζωντων υμεισ ουν πολυ πλανασθε
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite mistaken.”
28 και προσελθων εισ των γραμματεων ακουσασ αυτων συζητουντων ειδωσ οτι καλωσ αυτοισ απεκριθη επηρωτησεν αυτον ποια εστιν πρωτη παντων εντολη
One of the scribes came and heard their discussion; he saw that Jesus answered them well. He asked him, “What commandment is the most important of all?”
29 ο δε ιησουσ απεκριθη αυτω οτι πρωτη παντων των εντολων ακουε ισραηλ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων κυριοσ εισ εστιν
Jesus answered, “The most important is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 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
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31 και δευτερα ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον μειζων τουτων αλλη εντολη ουκ εστιν
The second commandment is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other greater commandment than these.”
32 και ειπεν αυτω ο γραμματευσ καλωσ διδασκαλε επ αληθειασ ειπασ οτι εισ εστιν και ουκ εστιν αλλοσ πλην αυτου
The scribe said, “Good, Teacher! You have truly said that God is one, and that there is no other besides him.
33 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
To love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is even more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 και ο ιησουσ ιδων αυτον οτι νουνεχωσ απεκριθη ειπεν αυτω ου μακραν ει απο τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και ουδεισ ουκετι ετολμα αυτον επερωτησαι
When Jesus saw that he had given a wise answer, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
35 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ελεγεν διδασκων εν τω ιερω πωσ λεγουσιν οι γραμματεισ οτι ο χριστοσ υιοσ εστιν δαυιδ
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the scribes say the Christ is the son of David?
36 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
David himself, in the Holy Spirit, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”'
37 αυτοσ ουν δαυιδ λεγει αυτον κυριον και ποθεν υιοσ αυτου εστιν και ο πολυσ οχλοσ ηκουεν αυτου ηδεωσ
David himself calls him 'Lord,' so how can the Christ be David's son?” The large crowd gladly listened to him.
38 και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου βλεπετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων εν στολαισ περιπατειν και ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ
In his teaching Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and they like the greetings they receive in the marketplaces
39 και πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και πρωτοκλισιασ εν τοισ δειπνοισ
and they like to have the chief seats in the synagogues and chief places at feasts.
40 οι κατεσθιοντεσ τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
They also devour widows' houses, and they pray long prayers for people to see. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
41 και καθισασ ο ιησουσ κατεναντι του γαζοφυλακιου εθεωρει πωσ ο οχλοσ βαλλει χαλκον εισ το γαζοφυλακιον και πολλοι πλουσιοι εβαλλον πολλα
Then Jesus sat down across from an offering box in the temple area; he was watching people as they dropped their money into the box. Many rich people put in large amounts of money.
42 και ελθουσα μια χηρα πτωχη εβαλεν λεπτα δυο ο εστιν κοδραντησ
Then a poor widow came and put in two mites, worth about a penny.
43 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγει αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα αυτη η πτωχη πλειον παντων βεβληκεν των βαλλοντων εισ το γαζοφυλακιον
He called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them who contributed to the offering box.
44 παντεσ γαρ εκ του περισσευοντοσ αυτοισ εβαλον αυτη δε εκ τησ υστερησεωσ αυτησ παντα οσα ειχεν εβαλεν ολον τον βιον αυτησ
For all of them gave out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all of the money which she had to live on. “
