Κατα Ματθαιον 9
1 και εμβας εις πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εις την ιδιαν πολιν
And he entered the ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινης βεβλημενον και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω θαρσει τεκνον αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι
And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the palsied man: Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven you.
3 και ιδου τινες των γραμματεων ειπαν εν εαυτοις ουτος βλασφημει
And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves: This man talks impiously.
4 και {VAR1: ειδως } {VAR2: ιδων } ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν ινα τι ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
And Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said: Why do evil thoughts arise in your hearts?
5 τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν εγειρε και περιπατει
For, which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω {VAR1: εγειρε } {VAR2: εγερθεις } αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins (then he said to the palsied man): Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
7 και εγερθεις απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι εφοβηθησαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοις ανθρωποις
And when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 και παραγων ο ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον μαθθαιον λεγομενον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
And as Jesus passed by from that place, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
And it came to pass that, while Jesus was reclining at table in his house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined at table with him and his disciples.
11 και ιδοντες οι φαρισαιοι ελεγον τοις μαθηταις αυτου δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλος υμων
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 ο δε ακουσας ειπεν ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες
When Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
13 πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεος θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους
But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
14 τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντες δια τι ημεις και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν {VAR2: [πολλα] } οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples fast not?
15 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος πενθειν εφ οσον μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιος ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν
And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then will they fast.
16 ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment; for that which is put in to fill it up, takes from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
17 ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη γε ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι και ο οινος εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολλυνται αλλα βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους καινους και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται
Nor do men put new wine into old bottles; if so, the bottles burst, and the wine runs out, and the bottles are lost. But they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις ιδου αρχων {VAR1: [εις] προσελθων } {VAR2: εις ελθων } προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν αλλα ελθων επιθες την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται
While he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came and did him homage, saying: My daughter is already dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 και εγερθεις ο ιησους {VAR1: ηκολουθει } {VAR2: ηκολουθησεν } αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
And Jesus and his disciples arose and followed him.
20 και ιδου γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου
And behold, a woman that had been diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind him, and touched the fringe of his mantle.
21 ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου σωθησομαι
For she said within herself: If I may only touch his mantle, I shall be saved.
22 ο δε ιησους στραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπεν θαρσει θυγατερ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης
But Jesus turned, and saw her, and said: Daughter, be of good courage; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.
23 και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον
And when Jesus came into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making lamentation,
24 ελεγεν αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου
he said to them: Depart; for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος εισελθων εκρατησεν της χειρος αυτης και ηγερθη το κορασιον
But when the multitude had been sent out, he went in, and took the maiden by the hand, and she arose.
26 και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην
And the fame of this went abroad in all that land.
27 και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν {VAR2: [αυτω] } δυο τυφλοι κραζοντες και λεγοντες ελεησον ημας {VAR1: υιε } {VAR2: υιος } δαυιδ
And as Jesus was departing thence, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying: Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 ελθοντι δε εις την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
And when he had entered the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν
Then he touched their eyes, and said: According to your faith, be it to you.
30 και ηνεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ενεβριμηθη αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων ορατε μηδεις γινωσκετω
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying: See that no one know it,
31 οι δε εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη
But they went out and spread his fame abroad in all that land.
32 αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω {VAR2: ανθρωπον } κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
And as they were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33 και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ
And after the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, and said: Never was it seen thus in Israel.
34 {VAR1: [οι } {VAR2: οι } δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα {VAR1: δαιμονια] } {VAR2: δαιμονια }
But the Pharisees said: He casts out the demons by the prince of the demons.
35 και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν
And Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every infirmity.
36 ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εσκυλμενοι και ερριμμενοι ωσει προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
And when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and scattered as sheep that had no shepherd.
37 τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
Then he said to his disciples: The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.
38 δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
