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
One of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, the chief priests, and the scribes, with the elders, came upon him,
2 και ειπον προς αυτον λεγοντες ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις η τις εστιν ο δους σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
saying, Tell us by what authority you do these things; or who is he that empowered you?
3 αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
He answering, said to them, I also have a question to put to you. Tell me, then,
4 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
Was the commission which John had to immerse, from heaven, or from men?
5 οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
But they reasoned thus among themselves, 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
And if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
They therefore answered, that they could not tell whence.
8 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
Jesus replied, Neither 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
Then he spoke to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and farmed it out, and having traveled, continued long abroad.
10 και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the produce of the vineyard; but they beat him, and sent him back empty.
11 και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
Afterward, he sent another servant, whom they, having beaten, and used shamefully, also sent away empty.
12 και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
He afterward dispatched a third to them. Him, likewise, they wounded and drove away.
13 ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
Then the proprietor of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; they will surely reverence him, when they see 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 then husbandmen saw him, they reasoned thus among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own.
15 και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος
And having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What, therefore, will the proprietor 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 those husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And some of his hearers said, God forbid.
17 ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας
Jesus, looking on them, said, What, then, means that expression of scripture, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner.
18 πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to pieces"?
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
At that time, the chief priests and the scribes, knowing that he had spoken this parable against them, would have laid hands on him, but feared the people.
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 set spies upon him, instructing them to personate conscientious men, and surprise him in his words, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator.
21 και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθως λεγεις και διδασκεις και ου λαμβανεις προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις
These accosted him with this question, Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach uprightly, and that, without respect of persons, you faithfully recommend the way of God.
22 εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Cesar, or not?
23 κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
He perceiving their subtlety, answered,
24 επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
Why would you entangle me? Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? They answered, Cesar's.
25 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
He replied, Render, therefore, to Cesar, that which is Cesar's, and to God, that which is God's.
26 και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
Thus they could not surprise him in his discourses before the people; wherefore, admiring his answer, they kept silence.
27 προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
Afterward, some of the Sadducees, who deny a future state, came to 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
with this question: Rabbi, Moses has enjoined in his writings, that a man whose brother dies childless, outlived by his wife, shall marry the widow, and raise issue to his brother.
29 επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
Now there were seven brothers; the first of whom, having taken a wife, died childless;
30 και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
the second married the widow, and also died childless;
31 και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα {VAR2: και } ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
the third married her, as did likewise the rest; and all seven died, leaving no children.
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
To which of them, therefore, will she be wife, at the resurrection; for she had been married to all the seven?
34 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
Jesus answering, said to them, The people of this world 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, among them who shall be honored to share in the resurrection, and the other world, there will be neither marrying nor giving 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 not die any more; because, like the angels, they are children of God, being children 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 has suggested, calling the Lord who appeared in the bush, 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
Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for they are all alive to him.
39 αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
Then some of the scribes said to him, Rabbi, you have spoken well.
40 ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
After that, they did not venture to ask him any more questions.
41 ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαβιδ ειναι
And he said to them, Why is it affirmed that the Messiah must be a son of David?
42 και αυτος δαβιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
Yet David himself says, in the book of the 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 foes thy footstool."
44 δαβιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
As David thus calls him his Lord, how can he be David's son?
45 ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
Then, in the audience of all the people, 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 love to walk in robes, and affect salutations in public places, and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts;
47 οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
who devour the families of widows, and make long prayers for a disguise. These shall suffer the severest punishment.
