Κατα Ματθαιον 11
1 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ διατασσων τοισ δωδεκα μαθηταισ αυτου μετεβη εκειθεν του διδασκειν και κηρυσσειν εν ταισ πολεσιν αυτων
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 ο δε ιωαννησ ακουσασ εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του χριστου πεμψασ δυο των μαθητων αυτου
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο ερχομενοσ η ετερον προσδοκωμεν
And said unto him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ πορευθεντεσ απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ακουετε και βλεπετε
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which all of you do hear and see:
5 τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν και χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 και μακαριοσ εστιν οσ εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 τουτων δε πορευομενων ηρξατο ο ιησουσ λεγειν τοισ οχλοισ περι ιωαννου τι εξηλθετε εισ την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went all of you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 αλλα τι εξηλθετε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοισ ιματιοισ ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι τα μαλακα φορουντεσ εν τοισ οικοισ των βασιλειων εισιν
But what went all of you out in order to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 αλλα τι εξηλθετε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
But what went all of you out in order to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 ουτοσ γαρ εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου οσ κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11 αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ εγηγερται εν γεννητοισ γυναικων μειζων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ο δε μικροτεροσ εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων μειζων αυτου εστιν
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 απο δε των ημερων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εωσ αρτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται και βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 παντεσ γαρ οι προφηται και ο νομοσ εωσ ιωαννου προεφητευσαν
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 και ει θελετε δεξασθαι αυτοσ εστιν ηλιασ ο μελλων ερχεσθαι
And if all of you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was in order to come.
15 ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 τινι δε ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην ομοια εστιν παιδιοισ εν αγοραισ καθημενοισ και προσφωνουσιν τοισ εταιροισ αυτων
But unto which shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 και λεγουσιν ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν υμιν και ουκ εκοψασθε
And saying, We have piped unto you, and all of you have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and all of you have not lamented.
18 ηλθεν γαρ ιωαννησ μητε εσθιων μητε πινων και λεγουσιν δαιμονιον εχει
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19 ηλθεν ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγουσιν ιδου ανθρωποσ φαγοσ και οινοποτησ τελωνων φιλοσ και αμαρτωλων και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτησ
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine indulger, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 τοτε ηρξατο ονειδιζειν τασ πολεισ εν αισ εγενοντο αι πλεισται δυναμεισ αυτου οτι ου μετενοησαν
Then began he to reproach the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 ουαι σοι χοραζιν ουαι σοι βηθσαιδα οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενοντο αι δυναμεισ αι γενομεναι εν υμιν παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω μετενοησαν
Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 πλην λεγω υμιν τυρω και σιδωνι ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεωσ η υμιν
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 και συ καπερναουμ η εωσ του ουρανου υψωθεισα εωσ αδου καταβιβασθηση οτι ει εν σοδομοισ εγενοντο αι δυναμεισ αι γενομεναι εν σοι εμειναν αν μεχρι τησ σημερον (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 πλην λεγω υμιν οτι γη σοδομων ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεωσ η σοι
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν εξομολογουμαι σοι πατερ κυριε του ουρανου και τησ γησ οτι απεκρυψασ ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψασ αυτα νηπιοισ
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 ναι ο πατηρ οτι ουτωσ εγενετο ευδοκια εμπροσθεν σου
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατροσ μου και ουδεισ επιγινωσκει τον υιον ει μη ο πατηρ ουδε τον πατερα τισ επιγινωσκει ει μη ο υιοσ και ω εαν βουληται ο υιοσ αποκαλυψαι
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 δευτε προσ με παντεσ οι κοπιωντεσ και πεφορτισμενοι καγω αναπαυσω υμασ
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ υμασ και μαθετε απ εμου οτι πραοσ ειμι και ταπεινοσ τη καρδια και ευρησετε αναπαυσιν ταισ ψυχαισ υμων
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and all of you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 ο γαρ ζυγοσ μου χρηστοσ και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον εστιν
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
