Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
τοτε {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ελαλησεν τοις οχλοις και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
λεγων επι της μωυσεως καθεδρας εκαθισαν οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not do their works; for they say, and do not do.
παντα ουν οσα εαν ειπωσιν υμιν ποιησατε και τηρειτε κατα δε τα εργα αυτων μη ποιειτε λεγουσιν γαρ και ου ποιουσιν
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
δεσμευουσιν δε φορτια βαρεα {VAR2: [και δυσβαστακτα] } και επιτιθεασιν επι τους ωμους των ανθρωπων αυτοι δε τω δακτυλω αυτων ου θελουσιν κινησαι αυτα
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
παντα δε τα εργα αυτων ποιουσιν προς το θεαθηναι τοις ανθρωποις πλατυνουσιν γαρ τα φυλακτηρια αυτων και μεγαλυνουσιν τα κρασπεδα
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
φιλουσιν δε την πρωτοκλισιαν εν τοις δειπνοις και τας πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και καλεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων ραββι
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
υμεις δε μη κληθητε ραββι εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο διδασκαλος παντες δε υμεις αδελφοι εστε
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
και πατερα μη καλεσητε υμων επι της γης εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο πατηρ ο ουρανιος
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται οτι καθηγητης υμων εστιν εις ο χριστος
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
ο δε μειζων υμων εσται υμων διακονος
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
οστις δε υψωσει εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και οστις ταπεινωσει εαυτον υψωθησεται
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
ουαι δε υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κλειετε την βασιλειαν των ουρανων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων υμεις γαρ ουκ εισερχεσθε ουδε τους εισερχομενους αφιετε εισελθειν
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna (Geenna g1067) as yourselves.
ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι περιαγετε την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν ποιησαι ενα προσηλυτον και οταν γενηται ποιειτε αυτον υιον γεεννης διπλοτερον υμων (Geenna g1067)
16 “Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
ουαι υμιν οδηγοι τυφλοι οι λεγοντες ος αν ομοση εν τω ναω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω χρυσω του ναου οφειλει
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
μωροι και τυφλοι τις γαρ μειζων εστιν ο χρυσος η ο ναος ο αγιασας τον χρυσον
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
και ος αν ομοση εν τω θυσιαστηριω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω δωρω τω επανω αυτου οφειλει
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
τυφλοι τι γαρ μειζον το δωρον η το θυσιαστηριον το αγιαζον το δωρον
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
ο ουν ομοσας εν τω θυσιαστηριω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν πασιν τοις επανω αυτου
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
και ο ομοσας εν τω ναω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν τω κατοικουντι αυτον
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
και ο ομοσας εν τω ουρανω ομνυει εν τω θρονω του θεου και εν τω καθημενω επανω αυτου
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το ανηθον και το κυμινον και αφηκατε τα βαρυτερα του νομου την κρισιν και το ελεος και την πιστιν ταυτα {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: [δε] } εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη {VAR1: αφειναι } {VAR2: αφιεναι }
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
οδηγοι τυφλοι {VAR2: οι } διυλιζοντες τον κωνωπα την δε καμηλον καταπινοντες
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι καθαριζετε το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και της παροψιδος εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν εξ αρπαγης και ακρασιας
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
φαρισαιε τυφλε καθαρισον πρωτον το εντος του ποτηριου {VAR1: [και της παροψιδος] } ινα γενηται και το εκτος αυτου καθαρον
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι παρομοιαζετε ταφοις κεκονιαμενοις οιτινες εξωθεν μεν φαινονται ωραιοι εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν οστεων νεκρων και πασης ακαθαρσιας
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
ουτως και υμεις εξωθεν μεν φαινεσθε τοις ανθρωποις δικαιοι εσωθεν δε εστε μεστοι υποκρισεως και ανομιας
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι οικοδομειτε τους ταφους των προφητων και κοσμειτε τα μνημεια των δικαιων
30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
και λεγετε ει ημεθα εν ταις ημεραις των πατερων ημων ουκ αν ημεθα αυτων κοινωνοι εν τω αιματι των προφητων
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
ωστε μαρτυρειτε εαυτοις οτι υιοι εστε των φονευσαντων τους προφητας
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
και υμεις πληρωσατε το μετρον των πατερων υμων
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Geenna g1067)?
οφεις γεννηματα εχιδνων πως φυγητε απο της κρισεως της γεεννης (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
δια τουτο ιδου εγω αποστελλω προς υμας προφητας και σοφους και γραμματεις εξ αυτων αποκτενειτε και σταυρωσετε και εξ αυτων μαστιγωσετε εν ταις συναγωγαις υμων και διωξετε απο πολεως εις πολιν
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
οπως ελθη εφ υμας παν αιμα δικαιον εκχυννομενον επι της γης απο του αιματος αβελ του δικαιου εως του αιματος ζαχαριου υιου βαραχιου ον εφονευσατε μεταξυ του ναου και του θυσιαστηριου
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
αμην λεγω υμιν ηξει ταυτα παντα επι την γενεαν ταυτην
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
ιερουσαλημ ιερουσαλημ η αποκτεινουσα τους προφητας και λιθοβολουσα τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτην ποσακις ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον ορνις επισυναγει τα νοσσια {VAR1: [αυτης] } {VAR2: αυτης } υπο τας πτερυγας και ουκ ηθελησατε
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
ιδου αφιεται υμιν ο οικος υμων {VAR2: ερημος }
39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
λεγω γαρ υμιν ου μη με ιδητε απ αρτι εως αν ειπητε ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου
