Κατα Ματθαιον 9
1 και εμβας εις το πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εις την ιδιαν πολιν
Then having gone aboard the bark, he repassed, and went to his own city;
2 και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινης βεβλημενον και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω θαρσει τεκνον αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου
where they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed. Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, take courage, your sins are forgiven you.
3 και ιδου τινες των γραμματεων ειπον εν εαυτοις ουτος βλασφημει
On which some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
4 και ιδων ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν ινα τι υμεις ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
But Jesus knowing their sentiments, said, Why do you harbor evil thoughts?
5 τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν εγειραι και περιπατει
Which is easier--to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, with effect --Arise and walk?
6 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω εγερθεις αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
But that you may know that the Son of Man has power upon the earth to forgive sins; Arise, then, (said he to the paralytic, ) take up your bed and go home.
7 και εγερθεις απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
Accordingly he arose, and went home.
8 ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι εθαυμασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοις ανθρωποις
And the people saw and wondered, glorifying God, who had given such power to men.
9 και παραγων ο ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον ματθαιον λεγομενον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
As Jesus departed thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the toll office; to whom he said, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
Afterward Jesus being at table in a house, many publicans and sinners came, and placed themselves with him and his disciples.
11 και ιδοντες οι φαρισαιοι ειπον τοις μαθηταις αυτου διατι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλος υμων
Some of the Pharisees observing this, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 ο δε ιησους ακουσας ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες
Jesus hearing them, answered, The whole need not a physician, but the sick.
13 πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλ αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν
Go, therefore, and learn what this means, "I desire humanity, and not sacrifice:" for I came to call, not the righteous, but sinners.
14 τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντες διατι ημεις και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν πολλα οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν
Then John's disciples addressing him, said, We and the Pharisees often fast: why do your disciples never fast?
15 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος πενθειν εφ οσον μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιος ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν
Jesus answered, Can the bridemen mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No person mends an old garment with undressed cloth; else the patch itself tears the garment, and makes a greater rent.
17 ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μηγε ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι και ο οινος εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολουνται αλλα βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους καινους και αμφοτερα συντηρουνται
Neither do people put new wine into old leather bottles; otherwise the bottles burst: and thus, both the wine is spilt, and the bottles are rendered useless. But they put new wine into new bottles, and bother are preserved.
18 ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις ιδου αρχων εις ελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν αλλα ελθων επιθες την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται
While he was speaking, a ruler came, and prostrating himself, said, My daughter is by this time dead; but come, and lay your hand upon her, and she will revive.
19 και εγερθεις ο ιησους ηκολουθησεν αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
And Jesus arose, and, as he followed him, with his disciples,
20 και ιδου γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου
a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with a bloody issue, coming behind, touched the tuft of his mantle;
21 ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου σωθησομαι
for she said within herself, If I but touch his mantle, I shall recover.
22 ο δε ιησους επιστραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπεν θαρσει θυγατερ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης
Jesus turning about, saw her, and said, Daughter, take courage, your faith has cured you. And the woman was well from that instant.
23 και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον
Being come into the ruler's house, and seeing the players on the flute, with the crowd, making a bustle,
24 λεγει αυτοις αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου
he said to them, Withdraw, for the young woman is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him:
25 οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος εισελθων εκρατησεν της χειρος αυτης και ηγερθη το κορασιον
but when the people were put out, he entered, and having taken her by the hand, the young woman arose.
26 και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην
Now the fame of this action spread through all the country.
27 και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν αυτω δυο τυφλοι κραζοντες και λεγοντες ελεησον ημας υιε δαβιδ
When Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, Son of David, have pity upon us.
28 ελθοντι δε εις την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
Being come into the house, the blind men approached him: and Jesus said to them, Do you believe I can do this? They answered, Yes, Master.
29 τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν
Then he touched their eyes, saying, Be it to you according to your faith.
30 και ανεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ενεβριμησατο αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων ορατε μηδεις γινωσκετω
Immediately their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charging them, said, Take care that no person know it.
31 οι δε εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη
But being departed, they spread his fame through all that country.
32 αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
They were scarcely gone, when a dumb demoniac was presented to him.
33 και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ
The demon being expelled, the dumb spoke, and the people wondered, saying, Nothing like this was ever seen in Israel.
34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
But the Pharisees said, He expels the demons by the prince of the demons.
35 και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν εν τω λαω
Then Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every disease and every malady.
36 ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εκλελυμενοι και ερριμμενοι ωσει προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
But when he saw the multitudes, he had compassion upon them, because they were scattered and exposed, like a flock without a shepherd.
37 τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are few:
38 δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου
entreat, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers to reap it.
