< Luke 20 >

1 On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,
και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντος αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι ιερεις και οι γραμματεις συν τοις πρεσβυτεροις
2 together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"
και ειπον προς αυτον λεγοντες ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις η τις εστιν ο δους σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
3 "I also will put a question to you, "He said;
αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 "was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
6 And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
7 And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
8 "Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
9 Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
10 At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δηραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
11 Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δηραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, "'What am I to do? I will send my son--my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
14 "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
ιδοντες δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
15 "So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
και εκβαλοντες εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος
16 He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 He looked at them and said, "What then does that mean which is written, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone'?
ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας
18 Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.
και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις επιβαλειν επ αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα και εφοβηθησαν εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
20 So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.
και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος
21 So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.
και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθως λεγεις και διδασκεις και ου λαμβανεις προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις
22 Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
23 But He saw through their knavery and replied,
κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
24 "Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
25 "Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 "Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.
λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης εγραψεν ημιν εαν τινος αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα και ουτος ατεκνος αποθανη ινα ο αδελφος αυτου λαβη την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
30 The second and the third also took her;
και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
31 and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 Finally the woman also died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
34 "The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
35 But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται (aiōn g165)
36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
37 But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι και μωυσης εμηνυσεν επι της βατου ως λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ
38 He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
40 From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι
42 Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
και αυτος δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
43 Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 "David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
δαυιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
45 Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
46 "Beware of the Scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love to be bowed to in places of public resort and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues or at a dinner party;
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
47 who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
