Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησους διατασσων τοις δωδεκα μαθηταις αυτου μετεβη εκειθεν του διδασκειν και κηρυσσειν εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
ο δε ιωαννης ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του χριστου πεμψας δια των μαθητων αυτου
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο ερχομενος η ετερον προσδοκωμεν
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις πορευθεντες απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ακουετε και βλεπετε
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν και χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν και νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
τουτων δε πορευομενων ηρξατο ο ιησους λεγειν τοις οχλοις περι ιωαννου τι εξηλθατε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων {VAR2: εισιν }
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
αλλα τι εξηλθατε {VAR1: προφητην ιδειν } {VAR2: ιδειν προφητην } ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
ουτος εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ εγηγερται εν γεννητοις γυναικων μειζων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων μειζων αυτου εστιν
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
απο δε των ημερων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως αρτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται και βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
παντες γαρ οι προφηται και ο νομος εως ιωαννου επροφητευσαν
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
και ει θελετε δεξασθαι αυτος εστιν ηλιας ο μελλων ερχεσθαι
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
ο εχων ωτα ακουετω
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
τινι δε ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην ομοια εστιν παιδιοις καθημενοις εν ταις αγοραις α προσφωνουντα τοις ετεροις
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
λεγουσιν ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν και ουκ εκοψασθε
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
ηλθεν γαρ ιωαννης μητε εσθιων μητε πινων και λεγουσιν δαιμονιον εχει
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
ηλθεν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγουσιν ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης τελωνων φιλος και αμαρτωλων και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των εργων αυτης
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
τοτε ηρξατο ονειδιζειν τας πολεις εν αις εγενοντο αι πλεισται δυναμεις αυτου οτι ου μετενοησαν
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
ουαι σοι χοραζιν ουαι σοι βηθσαιδα οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενοντο αι δυναμεις αι γενομεναι εν υμιν παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω μετενοησαν
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
πλην λεγω υμιν τυρω και σιδωνι ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεως η υμιν
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
και συ καφαρναουμ μη εως ουρανου υψωθηση εως αδου καταβηση οτι ει εν σοδομοις εγενηθησαν αι δυναμεις αι γενομεναι εν σοι εμεινεν αν μεχρι της σημερον (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
πλην λεγω υμιν οτι γη σοδομων ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεως η σοι
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν εξομολογουμαι σοι πατερ κυριε του ουρανου και της γης οτι εκρυψας ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψας αυτα νηπιοις
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
ναι ο πατηρ οτι ουτως ευδοκια εγενετο εμπροσθεν σου
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατρος μου και ουδεις επιγινωσκει τον υιον ει μη ο πατηρ ουδε τον πατερα τις επιγινωσκει ει μη ο υιος και ω εαν βουληται ο υιος αποκαλυψαι
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
δευτε προς με παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι καγω αναπαυσω υμας
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ υμας και μαθετε απ εμου οτι πραυς ειμι και ταπεινος τη καρδια και ευρησετε αναπαυσιν ταις ψυχαις υμων
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
ο γαρ ζυγος μου χρηστος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον εστιν
