Κατα Λουκαν 20
1 και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντος αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις συν τοις πρεσβυτεροις
And it came to pass, that, on one of those days, while he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came to him,
2 και ειπον προς αυτον λεγοντες ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις η τις εστιν ο δους σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
and spoke to him, saying: Tell us by what authority you do these things? or, who is he that gave you this authority?
3 αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
And he answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and do you answer me.
4 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men?
5 οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply: Why, then, did you not believe him?
6 εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they believe that John was a prophet.
7 και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
And Jesus said to them: Nor do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
And he began to speak this parable to the people: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and was absent from home for a long time.
10 και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
And at the proper season, he sent a servant to those vine-dressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine-dressers scourged him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11 και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
And he then sent another servant. But they scourged him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
And he also sent a third; but they wounded him, and drove him out.
13 ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
And the owner of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 ιδοντες δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος
And they drove him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
He will come and destroy these vine-dressers, and will give his vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: Be it not so!
17 ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας
And he looked on them and said: What, then, does this mean, which is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?
18 πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind.
19 και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις επιβαλειν επ αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα και εφοβηθησαν τον λαον εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him, the same hour; (and yet they feared the people; ) for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος
And they watched him, and sent spies, who feigned them selves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθως λεγεις και διδασκεις και ου λαμβανεις προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις
And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not regard the person of any, but teach the way of God in truth.
22 εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
23 κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
But he perceived their cunning, and said to them: Why do you tempt me?
24 επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said: Cæsar’s.
25 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
He said to them: Give, therefore, to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
26 και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
And they were not able to take hold of his words before the people. And they were astonished at his answer, and were silent.
27 προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
Then there came to him some of the Sadducees, (these deny that there is any resurrection, ) and asked him,
28 λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης εγραψεν ημιν εαν τινος αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα και ουτος ατεκνος αποθανη ινα λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.
29 επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children;
30 και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
and the second took his wife, and he died without children;
31 και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα {VAR2: και } ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven; and they left no children, and died.
32 υστερον {VAR1: δε } παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife.
34 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection.
37 οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι και μωσης εμηνυσεν επι της βατου ως λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ
But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
And certain of the scribes answered and said: Teacher, thou hast answered well.
40 ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
And after this they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαβιδ ειναι
But he said to them: How say they that the Christ is the son of David?
42 και αυτος δαβιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 δαβιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?
45 ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples:
46 προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων περιπατειν εν στολαις και φιλουντων ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και πρωτοκλισιας εν τοις δειπνοις
Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;
47 οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
who eat up the houses of widows, and, for a pretext, make long prayers. These shall receive the greater condemnation.
