Κατα Λουκαν 20
1 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
On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.
2 και ειπον προς αυτον λεγοντες ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις η τις εστιν ο δους σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην
They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
"I will also ask you a question," he replied.
4 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"
5 οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει διατι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in him?’
6 εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
"And if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."
7 και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
So they answered that they did not know whence it was.
8 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose authority I do these things."
9 ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.
10 και εν τω καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσουσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 και προσεθετο αυτοις πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
12 και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
13 ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
"Then the master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.’
14 ιδοντες δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them?
16 ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
"He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
17 ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας
He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?
18 πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
19 και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις επιβαλειν επ αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα και εφοβηθησαν τον λαον εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προς αυτους τας παραβολας ελεγεν
At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
20 και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος
So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21 και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι ορθως λεγεις και διδασκεις και ου λαμβανεις προσωπον αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις
So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.
22 εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
"Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
But he perceived their knavery and answered.
24 δειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
"Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."
26 και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν επηρωτησαν αυτον
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked him.
28 λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωυσης εγραψεν ημιν εαν τινος αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα και ουτος ατεκνος αποθανη ινα λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.
29 επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,
30 και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
"and the second and third took her,
31 και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.
32 υστερον δε παντων και η γυνη απεθανεν
"Last of all the woman died too.
33 εν τη αναστασει ουν τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
"In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."
34 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμιζονται (aiōn g165)
"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (aiōn g165)
35 οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμιζονται (aiōn g165)
"but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
"For indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.
37 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
"But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
38 θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’
39 αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"
40 ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.
41 ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι
"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?
42 και αυτος δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω των ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
"for David himself say’s in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord. Sit at my right hand,
43 εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
Until I make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.
44 δαυιδ ουν αυτον κυριον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
"David therefore himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how can he be his son?"
45 ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
Then, in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples.
46 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
"Beware of the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;
47 οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
"but they devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."
