< Κατα Ματθαιον 16 >
1 Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ Σαδδουκαῖοι, πειράζοντες ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν σημεῖον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτοῖς.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς,
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, Fair weather; for the sky is red.
And in the morning, A storm to-day; for the sky is red and lowering. Hypocrites! you know how to judge of the face of the sky; but you can not judge of the signs of the times.
4 “Γενεὰ πονηρὰ καὶ μοιχαλὶς σημεῖον ἐπιζητεῖ, καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ, εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ.” Καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτοὺς ἀπῆλθεν.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign: and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. And he left them and departed.
5 Καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἐπελάθοντο ἄρτους λαβεῖν.
And his disciples came to the other side, and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὁρᾶτε καὶ προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων.”
And Jesus said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Οἱ δὲ διελογίζοντο ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λέγοντες, ὅτι “Ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβομεν.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we took no bread.
8 Γνοὺς δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Τί διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, ὀλιγόπιστοι, ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἔχετε;
And Jesus perceiving it, said to them: O you of little faith! why are you reasoning among yourselves because you took no bread?
9 Οὔπω νοεῖτε, οὐδὲ μνημονεύετε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσους κοφίνους ἐλάβετε;
Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Οὐδὲ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους τῶν τετρακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσας σπυρίδας ἐλάβετε;
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Πῶς οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι οὐ περὶ ἄρτων εἶπον ὑμῖν; Προσέχετε δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων.”
How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων.
Then they understood that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 Ἐλθὼν δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὰ μέρη Καισαρείας τῆς Φιλίππου, ἠρώτα τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Τίνα λέγουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἶναι τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου;”
When Jesus came into the regions of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?
14 Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, “Οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν, ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν, ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν.”
They replied: Some say that thou art John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Ὑμεῖς δὲ, τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι;”
He said to them: But who say you that I am?
16 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Σίμων Πέτρος εἶπεν, “Σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος.”
Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Μακάριος εἶ, Σίμων Βαριωνᾶ, ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψέν σοι, ἀλλʼ ὁ Πατήρ μου, ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
And Jesus answered and said to him: Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω ὅτι σὺ εἶ Πέτρος, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ πύλαι ἍΙδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς. (Hadēs )
And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs )
19 Δώσω σοι τὰς κλεῖδας τῆς Βασιλείας τῶν Οὐρανῶν, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.”
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Τότε διεστείλατο τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ εἴπωσιν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ ˚Χριστός.
Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 Ἀπὸ τότε ἤρξατο ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ˚Χριστὸς δεικνύειν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἀπελθεῖν, καὶ πολλὰ παθεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ ἀρχιερέων, καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθῆναι.
From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.
22 Καὶ προσλαβόμενος αὐτὸν, ὁ Πέτρος ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν αὐτῷ λέγων, “Ἵλεώς σοι, ˚Κύριε· οὐ μὴ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο.”
And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
23 Ὁ δὲ στραφεὶς εἶπεν τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, Σατανᾶ! Σκάνδαλον εἶ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι οὐ φρονεῖς τὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.”
But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.
24 Τότε ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, “Εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν, καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 Ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δʼ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ, εὑρήσει αὐτήν.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 Τί γὰρ ὠφεληθήσεται ἄνθρωπος, ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ; Ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ;
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?
27 Μέλλει γὰρ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεσθαι ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ‘τότε ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν πρᾶξιν αὐτοῦ’.
For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every one according to his deeds.
28 Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἰσίν τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστώτων οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου, ἕως ἂν ἴδωσιν τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ.”
Verily I say to you, There are some standing here that shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
