Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
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 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving 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 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δηραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δηραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s 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 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord 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 destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against 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 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
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 lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children 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 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 Afterward the woman also died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are 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 they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children 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 are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called 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 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι
42 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 make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
δαυιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
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 devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
