Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου ἐπέστησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις |
One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him. |
And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [him] with the elders, |
|
| 2 |
καὶ εἶπαν λέγοντες πρὸς αὐτόν Εἰπὸν ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην |
“Tell us, they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority? |
And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? |
|
| 3 |
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ λόγον καὶ εἴπατέ μοι |
“I will also ask you a question, Jesus replied. “Tell Me: |
And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: |
|
| 4 |
Τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων |
John’s baptism— was it from heaven, or from men? |
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? |
|
| 5 |
Οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες ὅτι Ἐὰν εἴπωμεν Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐρεῖ Διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ |
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven, He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him? |
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? |
|
| 6 |
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν Ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι |
But if we say, ‘From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet. |
But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. |
|
| 7 |
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν |
So they answered that they did not know where it was from. |
And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was]. |
|
| 8 |
Καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ |
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. |
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. |
|
| 9 |
Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην Ἄνθρωπος [τις] ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν χρόνους ἱκανούς |
Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time. |
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. |
|
| 10 |
καὶ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν δείραντες κενόν |
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. |
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty. |
|
| 11 |
Καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι δοῦλον οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν |
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed. |
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty. |
|
| 12 |
Καὶ προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον |
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out. |
And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out. |
|
| 13 |
Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος Τί ποιήσω πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν ἴσως τοῦτον ἐντραπήσονται |
‘What shall I do? asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him. |
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see him. |
|
| 14 |
Ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία |
But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. |
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. |
|
| 15 |
καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος ἀπέκτειναν Τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος |
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? |
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? |
|
| 16 |
ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις Ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπαν Μὴ γένοιτο |
He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others. And when the people heard this, they said, “ May such a thing never happen! |
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid. |
|
| 17 |
Ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπεν Τί οὖν ἐστιν τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο Λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες Οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας |
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’ |
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? |
|
| 18 |
Πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ’ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον συνθλασθήσεται ἐφ’ ὃν δ’ ἂν πέσῃ λικμήσει αὐτόν |
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed. |
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. |
|
| 19 |
Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην |
When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people. |
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. |
|
| 20 |
Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐνκαθέτους ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου ὥστε παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος |
So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor. |
And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. |
|
| 21 |
καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες Διδάσκαλε οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον ἀλλ’ ἐπ’ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις |
“Teacher, they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. |
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly: |
|
| 22 |
ἔξεστιν ἡμᾶς Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ |
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not? |
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? |
|
| 23 |
Κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς |
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them, |
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? |
|
| 24 |
Δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Καίσαρος |
“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it? “Caesar’s, they answered. |
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. |
|
| 25 |
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Τοίνυν ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ |
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s. |
And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. |
|
| 26 |
Καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι αὐτοῦ ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν |
And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent. |
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. |
|
| 27 |
Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων οἱ ἀντιλέγοντες ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν |
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him. |
Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, |
|
| 28 |
λέγοντες Διδάσκαλε Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ᾖ ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ |
“Teacher, they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him. |
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto 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 seed unto his brother. |
|
| 29 |
ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος |
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless. |
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. |
|
| 30 |
καὶ ὁ δεύτερος ⧼τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ οὗτος ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος⧽ |
Then the second |
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. |
|
| 31 |
καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα καὶ ἀπέθανον |
and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children. |
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. |
|
| 32 |
ὕστερον καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν |
And last of all, the woman died. |
<1161> Last of all the woman died also. |
|
| 33 |
ἡ γυνὴ οὖν ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα |
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her. |
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. |
|
| 34 |
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καὶ γαμίσκονται |
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. |
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: |
|
| 35 |
οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται |
But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. |
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: |
|
| 36 |
οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσιν καὶ υἱοί εἰσιν Θεοῦ τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες |
In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God. |
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. |
|
| 37 |
Ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροὶ καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς Βάτου ὡς λέγει Κύριον Τὸν Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Θεὸν Ἰακώβ |
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ |
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. |
|
| 38 |
Θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστιν νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν |
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive. |
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. |
|
| 39 |
Ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπαν Διδάσκαλε καλῶς εἶπας |
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well! |
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. |
|
| 40 |
οὐκέτι γὰρ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν |
And they did not dare to question Him any further. |
And after that they durst not ask him any [question at all]. |
|
| 41 |
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς Πῶς λέγουσιν τὸν Χριστὸν εἶναι Δαυὶδ υἱόν |
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David? |
And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? |
|
| 42 |
αὐτὸς γὰρ Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν Εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου |
For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand |
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, |
|
| 43 |
Ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου Ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου |
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’ |
Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. |
|
| 44 |
Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν |
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son? |
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? |
|
| 45 |
Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς [αὐτοῦ] |
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples, |
Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, |
|
| 46 |
Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις |
“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets. |
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; |
|
| 47 |
οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα |
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation. |
Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. |
|
