Κατα Ματθαιον 9
1 Καὶ ἐμβὰς εἰς πλοῖον, διεπέρασεν καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν πόλιν.
And He entered into the ship and passed over, and came to his own city:
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, προσέφερον αὐτῷ παραλυτικὸν ἐπὶ κλίνης βεβλημένον. Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν, εἶπεν τῷ παραλυτικῷ, “Θάρσει, τέκνον, ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.”
and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 Καὶ ἰδού, τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπον ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, “Οὗτος βλασφημεῖ!”
Upon which, some of the scribes said in themselves, This man blasphemeth: but Jesus knowing their surmises,
4 Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις αὐτῶν εἶπεν, “Ἵνα τί ἐνθυμεῖσθε πονηρὰ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
said to them, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5 Τί γάρ ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον εἰπεῖν, ‘Ἀφίονται σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι’, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ‘Ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει’;
For which is easier? To say, thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say, rise up and walk?
6 Ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας” (τότε λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ), “Ἐγερθεὶς, ἆρόν σου τὴν κλίνην καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.”
but that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, Arise (saith He then to the paralytic) and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house.
7 Καὶ ἐγερθεὶς, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
And he rose up and went away to his own house.
8 Ἰδόντες δὲ, οἱ ὄχλοι ἐφοβήθησαν καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν ˚Θεὸν, τὸν δόντα ἐξουσίαν τοιαύτην τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.
But when the multitudes saw it, they were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
9 Καὶ παράγων ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖθεν, εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον Μαθθαῖον λεγόμενον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ. “Ἀκολούθει μοι.” Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
And as Jesus was passing from thence, He saw a man sitting at the custom-house, named Matthew; and He saith to him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.
10 Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, καὶ ἰδοὺ, πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐλθόντες συνανέκειντο τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ.
And as He was sitting at table in the house of Matthew, behold, several publicans and notorious sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Καὶ ἰδόντες, οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, “Διὰ τί μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν;”
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12 Ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας εἶπεν, “Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλὰ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες.
But Jesus hearing them, said unto them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill: go therefore and learn what that means,
13 Πορευθέντες δὲ, μάθετε τί ἐστιν: ‘Ἔλεος θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν’, οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς.”
"I desire mercy rather than sacrifice:" for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
14 Τότε προσέρχονται αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου λέγοντες, “Διὰ τί ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύομεν, οἱ δὲ μαθηταί σου οὐ νηστεύουσιν;”
Then also come to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the pharisees fast much, but thy disciples do not fast?
15 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος πενθεῖν, ἐφʼ ὅσον μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐστιν ὁ νυμφίος; Ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 Οὐδεὶς δὲ ἐπιβάλλει ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπὶ ἱματίῳ παλαιῷ· αἴρει γὰρ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
As no one putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment; for its new patch teareth away from the old garment, and the rent is made worse:
17 Οὐδὲ βάλλουσιν οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, ῥήγνυνται οἱ ἀσκοί, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἐκχεῖται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοὶ ἀπόλλυνται. Ἀλλὰ βάλλουσιν οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινούς, καὶ ἀμφότεροι συντηροῦνται.”
nor do they put new wine into old vessels; otherwise, the casks burst, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but they put new wine into new vessels, and both are preserved.
18 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς, ἰδοὺ, ἄρχων εἷς προσελθὼν, προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων, ὅτι “Ἡ θυγάτηρ μου ἄρτι ἐτελεύτησεν· ἀλλὰ ἐλθὼν ἐπίθες τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπʼ αὐτήν καὶ ζήσεται.”
As He was speaking these things to them, behold there came a ruler and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is at the point of death: but come, I pray Thee, and put thy hand upon her, and she shall live:
19 Καὶ ἐγερθεὶς, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
and Jesus rose up, and followed him; as did also his disciples.
20 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, γυνὴ αἱμορροοῦσα δώδεκα ἔτη προσελθοῦσα ὄπισθεν, ἥψατο τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ.
(And lo, a woman who had had a flux of blood for twelve years, came close behind Him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 Ἔλεγεν γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῇ, “Ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, σωθήσομαι.”
for she said within herself, If I can but touch his garment, I shall be cured.
22 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς στραφεὶς καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν εἶπεν, “Θάρσει, θύγατερ· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.” Καὶ ἐσώθη ἡ γυνὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
And Jesus turning about, and seeing her, said, Daughter be comforted, thy faith hath cured thee. And from that time the woman was healed.)
23 Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἄρχοντος, καὶ ἰδὼν τοὺς αὐλητὰς καὶ τὸν ὄχλον θορυβούμενον
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the musicians, and the people in confusion;
24 ἔλεγεν, “Ἀναχωρεῖτε, οὐ γὰρ ἀπέθανεν τὸ κοράσιον, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει.” Καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ.
He saith unto them, Retire; for the child is not dead, but asleep. And they laughed at Him.
25 Ὅτε δὲ ἐξεβλήθη ὁ ὄχλος, εἰσελθὼν ἐκράτησεν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠγέρθη τὸ κοράσιον.
But when the people were put out, He went in and took hold of her hand, and the damsel rose up.
26 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ φήμη αὕτη εἰς ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην.
And the fame of it spread over all the country.
27 Καὶ παράγοντι ἐκεῖθεν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ δύο τυφλοὶ κράζοντες καὶ λέγοντες, “Ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, υἱὸς Δαυίδ.”
And as Jesus was going from thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Have compassion on us, O Son of David.
28 Ἐλθόντι δὲ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ τυφλοί, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Πιστεύετε ὅτι δύναμαι τοῦτο ποιῆσαι;” Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε.”
And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? and they say unto Him, Yes Lord.
29 Τότε ἥψατο τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν λέγων, “Κατὰ τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν γενηθήτω ὑμῖν.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you: and their eyes were opened.
30 Καὶ ἠνεῴχθησαν αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί. Καὶ ἐνεβριμήθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγων, “Ὁρᾶτε μηδεὶς γινωσκέτω.”
And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, Do not divulge it: but
31 Οἱ δὲ ἐξελθόντες, διεφήμισαν αὐτὸν ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ.
they went out and spread his fame through all that country.
32 Αὐτῶν δὲ ἐξερχομένων, ἰδοὺ, προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ κωφὸν δαιμονιζόμενον.
And as they were going out, there was brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac:
33 Καὶ ἐκβληθέντος τοῦ δαιμονίου, ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός. Καὶ ἐθαύμασαν οἱ ὄχλοι λέγοντες, “Οὐδέποτε ἐφάνη οὕτως ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.”
and when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been seen the like in Israel:
34 Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον, “Ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.”
but the pharisees said, he casts out devils by the prince of the devils.
35 Καὶ περιῆγεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὰς πόλεις πάσας καὶ τὰς κώμας, διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ θεραπεύων πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν.
Now Jesus went round to all the cities, and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people.
36 Ἰδὼν δὲ τοὺς ὄχλους, ἐσπλαγχνίσθη περὶ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἦσαν ἐσκυλμένοι καὶ ἐρριμμένοι, ὡσεὶ πρόβατα μὴ ἔχοντα ποιμένα.
And when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion towards them; because they were dispersed and scattered like sheep that have no shepherd:
37 Τότε λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, “Ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι·
upon which He saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers few:
38 δεήθητε οὖν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ, ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ.”
therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send out laborers into his harvest.
