Κατα Ματθαιον 22
1 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν ⸂ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λέγων·
And Jesus responding, again spoke to them in parables, saying,
2 Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.
The kingdom of the heavens is like a king-man, who made a marriage for his son.
3 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν.
And he sent his servants to invite those who had been called to the marriage: and they were not willing to come.
4 πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων· Εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις· Ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ⸀ἡτοίμακα οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα, καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα· δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.
And again he sent other servants, saying; Speak to those who have been called, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatling are slain, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.
5 οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον, ⸀ὃςμὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν, ⸁ὃςδὲ ⸀ἐπὶτὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ·
And they being careless, went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise:
6 οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.
but the rest, taking his servants, insulted, and slew them.
7 ⸂ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ὠργίσθη, καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησεν.
And the king was angry; and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their cities.
8 τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ· Ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι·
Then he says to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those having been invited were not worthy.
9 πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν, καὶ ὅσους ⸀ἐὰνεὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.
Go ye therefore to crossings of the roads, and so many as you may find, invite to the marriage.
10 καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας ⸀οὓςεὗρον, πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς· καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ ⸀γάμοςἀνακειμένων.
And those servants having gone out into the ways, led in all whom they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11 εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου·
And the king having come in to look upon the guests, saw there a man not having on a wedding-garment.
12 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ἑταῖρε, πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου; ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη.
And he says to him, Comrade, how did you come in hither, not having the wedding-garment? And he was silent.
13 τότε ⸂ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τοῖς διακόνοις· Δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ⸂ἐκβάλετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
Then the king said to the servants, Having bound him feet and hands, cast him into the darkness which is without; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
14 πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσιν κλητοὶ ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί.
For many are called, but few elected.
15 Τότε πορευθέντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ἐν λόγῳ.
Then the Pharisees going forth, took counsel how they might ensnare Him in His speech.
16 καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν ⸀λέγοντες Διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός, οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων·
And they send to Him their own disciples along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and that thou art teaching the way of God in truth, and there is not a care to thee for any one; for thou dost not look into the face of men.
17 εἰπὸν οὖν ἡμῖν τί σοι δοκεῖ· ἔξεστιν δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ;
Then tell us, what seems good to thee? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν εἶπεν· Τί με πειράζετε, ὑποκριταί;
And Jesus knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, O ye hypocrites?
19 ἐπιδείξατέ μοι τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου. οἱ δὲ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δηνάριον.
Show me the tribute money: and they brought Him a denarion.
20 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή;
And He says to them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 λέγουσιν ⸀αὐτῷ Καίσαρος. τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ.
They say to Him, Caesar's. Then He says to them, Therefore render Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things which are God's.
22 καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν, καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθαν.
And hearing they are astonished, and leaving Him, they went away.
23 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Σαδδουκαῖοι, ⸀λέγοντεςμὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
On that day the Sadducees came to Him, saying, there is no resurrection: and asked Him,
24 λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς εἶπεν· Ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ μὴ ἔχων τέκνα, ἐπιγαμβρεύσει ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστήσει σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any man may die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 ἦσαν δὲ παρʼ ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος ⸀γήμαςἐτελεύτησεν, καὶ μὴ ἔχων σπέρμα ἀφῆκεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ·
But there were among us seven brothers: the first marrying died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.
26 ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ ὁ τρίτος, ἕως τῶν ἑπτά·
Likewise also, the second, and third, even unto seven.
27 ὕστερον δὲ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ⸀ἡγυνή.
And last of all the woman also died.
28 ἐν τῇ ⸂ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἔσται γυνή; πάντες γὰρ ἔσχον αὐτήν.
Therefore in the resurrection, of which one of the seven shall she be the wife? for they all had her.
29 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Πλανᾶσθε μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ θεοῦ·
and Jesus responding said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἀναστάσει οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε ⸀γαμίζονται ἀλλʼ ὡς ἄγγελοι ⸀θεοῦἐν ⸀τῷοὐρανῷ εἰσιν·
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are as angels of God in heaven:
31 περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ λέγοντος·
concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸςἈβραὰμ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰακώβ; οὐκ ἔστιν ⸂ὁ θεὸς⸃ νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων.
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 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ.
And the multitudes hearing, were delighted with His teaching.
34 Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσεν τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
And the Pharisees, hearing that He silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν νομικὸς πειράζων ⸀αὐτόν
And one of them, a theologian, tempting Him, asked Him also, saying,
36 Διδάσκαλε, ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ;
Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law?
37 ὁ ⸀δὲἔφη αὐτῷ· Ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ ⸀τῇκαρδίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ⸁τῇψυχῇ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου·
And He said to him; Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 αὕτη ἐστὶν ⸂ἡ μεγάλη καὶ πρώτη ἐντολή.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Δευτέρα ⸀δὲὁμοία ⸀αὐτῇ Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος ⸂κρέμαται καὶ οἱ προφῆται.
On these two commandments hang all the law, and the prophets.
41 Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς
And the Pharisees being assembled, Jesus asked them,
42 λέγων· Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ; τίνος υἱός ἐστιν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Τοῦ Δαυίδ.
saying, What seems to you concerning the Christ? whose son is He? They say to Him, Of David.
43 λέγει αὐτοῖς· Πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν πνεύματι ⸂καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον λέγων·
He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying,
44 ⸀Εἶπενκύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ⸀ὑποκάτωτῶν ποδῶν σου;
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?
45 εἰ οὖν Δαυὶδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον, πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;
Then if David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ⸂ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ λόγον, οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπʼ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι.
And no one was able to respond a word to Him, neither did any one from that day dare to ask Him anything more.
