Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
τοτε ο ιησουσ ελαλησεν τοισ οχλοισ και τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
λεγων επι τησ μωσεωσ καθεδρασ εκαθισαν οι γραμματεισ και οι φαρισαιοι
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
παντα ουν οσα εαν ειπωσιν υμιν τηρειν τηρειτε και ποιειτε 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 γαρ φορτια βαρεα και δυσβαστακτα και επιτιθεασιν επι τουσ ωμουσ των ανθρωπων τω δε 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 δε τα φυλακτηρια αυτων και μεγαλυνουσιν τα κρασπεδα των ιματιων αυτων
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
φιλουσιν τε 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 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 καθηγητησ ο χριστοσ 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 ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται εισ γαρ υμων εστιν ο καθηγητησ 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 κατεσθιετε τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι δια τουτο ληψεσθε περισσοτερον κριμα
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κλειετε την βασιλειαν των ουρανων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων υμεισ γαρ ουκ εισερχεσθε ουδε τουσ εισερχομενουσ αφιετε εισελθειν
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 as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
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 αγιαζων 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 εαν 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?
μωροι και 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 κατοικησαντι 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 τον ελεον και την πιστιν ταυτα εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη αφιεναι
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
οδηγοι τυφλοι 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 αδικιασ
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 και τησ παροψιδοσ ινα γενηται και το εκτοσ αυτων 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 μεστοι εστε 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 wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
και λεγετε ει ημεν εν ταισ ημεραισ των πατερων ημων ουκ αν ημεν κοινωνοι αυτων 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 και 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 εκχυνομενον 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 οτι ηξει παντα ταυτα 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 αποκτενουσα τουσ προφητασ και λιθοβολουσα τουσ απεσταλμενουσ προσ αυτην ποσακισ ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον επισυναγει ορνισ τα νοσσια εαυτησ υπο τασ πτερυγασ και ουκ ηθελησατε
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
ιδου αφιεται υμιν ο οικοσ υμων 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
