Κατα Ματθαιον 16
1 και προσελθοντες {VAR1: [οι] } {VAR2: οι } φαρισαιοι και σαδδουκαιοι πειραζοντες επηρωτησαν αυτον σημειον εκ του ουρανου επιδειξαι αυτοις
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
2 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις {VAR1: [[οψιας } {VAR2: [οψιας } γενομενης λεγετε ευδια πυρραζει γαρ ο ουρανος
But Jesus answered: “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
3 και πρωι σημερον χειμων πυρραζει γαρ στυγναζων ο ουρανος το μεν προσωπον του ουρανου γινωσκετε διακρινειν τα δε σημεια των καιρων ου {VAR1: δυνασθε]] } {VAR2: δυνασθε] }
But in the morning you say ‘To-day it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’ You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
4 γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα και καταλιπων αυτους απηλθεν
A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and went away.
5 και ελθοντες οι μαθηται εις το περαν επελαθοντο αρτους λαβειν
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ορατε και προσεχετε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
Presently Jesus said to them: “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 οι δε διελογιζοντο εν εαυτοις λεγοντες οτι αρτους ουκ ελαβομεν
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 γνους δε ο ιησους ειπεν τι διαλογιζεσθε εν εαυτοις ολιγοπιστοι οτι αρτους ουκ εχετε
On noticing this, Jesus said: “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, O men of little faith?
9 ουπω νοειτε ουδε μνημονευετε τους πεντε αρτους των πεντακισχιλιων και ποσους κοφινους ελαβετε
Do not you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
10 ουδε τους επτα αρτους των τετρακισχιλιων και ποσας σπυριδας ελαβετε
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 πως ου νοειτε οτι ου περι αρτων ειπον υμιν προσεχετε δε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 τοτε συνηκαν οτι ουκ ειπεν προσεχειν απο της ζυμης {VAR1: [των αρτων] } {VAR2: των αρτων } αλλα απο της διδαχης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 ελθων δε ο ιησους εις τα μερη καισαρειας της φιλιππου ηρωτα τους μαθητας αυτου λεγων τινα λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι ειναι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
On coming into the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question — “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 οι δε ειπαν οι μεν ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην αλλοι δε ηλιαν ετεροι δε ιερεμιαν η ενα των προφητων
“Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.”
15 λεγει αυτοις υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι
“But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
16 αποκριθεις δε σιμων πετρος ειπεν συ ει ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου του ζωντος
And to this Simon Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
17 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω μακαριος ει σιμων βαριωνα οτι σαρξ και αιμα ουκ απεκαλυψεν σοι αλλ ο πατηρ μου ο εν {VAR1: [τοις] } {VAR2: τοις } ουρανοις
“Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied. “For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in Heaven.
18 καγω δε σοι λεγω οτι συ ει πετρος και επι ταυτη τη πετρα οικοδομησω μου την εκκλησιαν και πυλαι αδου ου κατισχυσουσιν αυτης (Hadēs g86)
Yes, and I say to you, Your name is ‘Peter — a Rock, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the Powers of the Place of Death shall not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 δωσω σοι τας κλειδας της βασιλειας των ουρανων και ο εαν δησης επι της γης εσται δεδεμενον εν τοις ουρανοις και ο εαν λυσης επι της γης εσται λελυμενον εν τοις ουρανοις
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in Heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in Heaven to be allowed.”
20 τοτε {VAR1: επετιμησεν } {VAR2: διεστειλατο } τοις μαθηταις ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οτι αυτος εστιν ο χριστος
Then he charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.
21 απο τοτε ηρξατο {VAR1: ιησους χριστος } {VAR2: ο ιησους } δεικνυειν τοις μαθηταις αυτου οτι δει αυτον εις ιεροσολυμα απελθειν και πολλα παθειν απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων και αποκτανθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθηναι
At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
22 και προσλαβομενος αυτον ο πετρος ηρξατο επιτιμαν αυτω λεγων ιλεως σοι κυριε ου μη εσται σοι τουτο
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that shall never be your fate!”
23 ο δε στραφεις ειπεν τω πετρω υπαγε οπισω μου σατανα σκανδαλον ει εμου οτι ου φρονεις τα του θεου αλλα τα των ανθρωπων
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said: “Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as man does.”
24 τοτε {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ει τις θελει οπισω μου ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 ος γαρ εαν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι απολεσει αυτην ος δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life shall find it.
26 τι γαρ ωφεληθησεται ανθρωπος εαν τον κοσμον ολον κερδηση την δε ψυχην αυτου ζημιωθη η τι δωσει ανθρωπος ανταλλαγμα της ψυχης αυτου
What good will it do a man to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? or what will a man give that is of equal value with his life?
27 μελλει γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου
For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s Glory, with his angels, and then he ‘will give to every man what his actions deserve.’
28 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εισιν τινες των ωδε εστωτων οιτινες ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν τη βασιλεια αυτου
I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Son of Man coming into his Kingdom.”
