Κατα Ματθαιον 21
1 και οτε ηγγισαν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εισ βηθσφαγη προσ το οροσ των ελαιων τοτε ο ιησουσ απεστειλεν δυο μαθητασ
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 λεγων αυτοισ πορευθητε εισ την κωμην την απεναντι υμων και ευθεωσ ευρησετε ονον δεδεμενην και πωλον μετ αυτησ λυσαντεσ αγαγετε μοι
Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose [them], and bring [them] to me.
3 και εαν τισ υμιν ειπη τι ερειτε οτι ο κυριοσ αυτων χρειαν εχει ευθεωσ δε αποστελλει αυτουσ
And if any [man] shall say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them.
4 τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων ιδου ο βασιλευσ σου ερχεται σοι πραυσ και επιβεβηκωσ επι ονον και πωλον υιον υποζυγιου
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 πορευθεντεσ δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντεσ καθωσ προσεταξεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 ηγαγον την ονον και τον πωλον και επεθηκαν επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων και επεκαθισεν επανω αυτων
And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
8 ο δε πλειστοσ οχλοσ εστρωσαν εαυτων τα ιματια εν τη οδω αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδουσ απο των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εν τη οδω
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed [them] in the way.
9 οι δε οχλοι οι προαγοντεσ και οι ακολουθουντεσ εκραζον λεγοντεσ ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ευλογημενοσ ο ερχομενοσ εν ονοματι κυριου ωσαννα εν τοισ υψιστοισ
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 και εισελθοντοσ αυτου εισ ιεροσολυμα εσεισθη πασα η πολισ λεγουσα τισ εστιν ουτοσ
And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 οι δε οχλοι ελεγον ουτοσ εστιν ιησουσ ο προφητησ ο απο ναζαρετ τησ γαλιλαιασ
And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 και εισηλθεν ο ιησουσ εισ το ιερον του θεου και εξεβαλεν παντασ τουσ πωλουντασ και αγοραζοντασ εν τω ιερω και τασ τραπεζασ των κολλυβιστων κατεστρεψεν και τασ καθεδρασ των πωλουντων τασ περιστερασ
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
13 και λεγει αυτοισ γεγραπται ο οικοσ μου οικοσ προσευχησ κληθησεται υμεισ δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 και προσηλθον αυτω χωλοι και τυφλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 ιδοντεσ δε οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ τα θαυμασια α εποιησεν και τουσ παιδασ κραζοντασ εν τω ιερω και λεγοντασ ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ηγανακτησαν
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were greatly displeased,
16 και ειπον αυτω ακουεισ τι ουτοι λεγουσιν ο δε ιησουσ λεγει αυτοισ ναι ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε οτι εκ στοματοσ νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον
And said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yes: have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 και καταλιπων αυτουσ εξηλθεν εξω τησ πολεωσ εισ βηθανιαν και ηυλισθη εκει
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there.
18 πρωιασ δε επαναγων εισ την πολιν επεινασεν
Now in the morning as he was returning into the city, he was hungry.
19 και ιδων συκην μιαν επι τησ οδου ηλθεν επ αυτην και ουδεν ευρεν εν αυτη ει μη φυλλα μονον και λεγει αυτη μηκετι εκ σου καρποσ γενηται εισ τον αιωνα και εξηρανθη παραχρημα η συκη (aiōn g165)
And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 και ιδοντεσ οι μαθηται εθαυμασαν λεγοντεσ πωσ παραχρημα εξηρανθη η συκη
And when the disciples saw [it], they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered!
21 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν εαν εχητε πιστιν και μη διακριθητε ου μονον το τησ συκησ ποιησετε αλλα καν τω ορει τουτω ειπητε αρθητι και βληθητι εισ την θαλασσαν γενησεται
Jesus answered and said to them, Verily I say to you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig-tree, but also, if ye shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 και παντα οσα εαν αιτησητε εν τη προσευχη πιστευοντεσ ληψεσθε
And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 και ελθοντι αυτω εισ το ιερον προσηλθον αυτω διδασκοντι οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου λεγοντεσ εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεισ και τισ σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην
And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee this authority?
24 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ερωτησω υμασ καγω λογον ενα ον εαν ειπητε μοι καγω υμιν ερω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου ποθεν ην εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων οι δε διελογιζοντο παρ εαυτοισ λεγοντεσ εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει ημιν δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων φοβουμεθα τον οχλον παντεσ γαρ εχουσιν τον ιωαννην ωσ προφητην
But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people: for all hold John as a prophet.
27 και αποκριθεντεσ τω ιησου ειπον ουκ οιδαμεν εφη αυτοισ και αυτοσ ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 τι δε υμιν δοκει ανθρωποσ ειχεν τεκνα δυο και προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν τεκνον υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου
But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work to-day in my vineyard.
29 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ου θελω υστερον δε μεταμεληθεισ απηλθεν
He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went.
30 και προσελθων τω δευτερω ειπεν ωσαυτωσ ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν εγω κυριε και ουκ απηλθεν
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 τισ εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατροσ λεγουσιν αυτω ο πρωτοσ λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμασ εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
Which of the two did the will of [his] father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 ηλθεν γαρ προσ υμασ ιωαννησ εν οδω δικαιοσυνησ και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω υμεισ δε ιδοντεσ ου μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε ανθρωποσ τισ ην οικοδεσποτησ οστισ εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και φραγμον αυτω περιεθηκεν και ωρυξεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν
Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:
34 οτε δε ηγγισεν ο καιροσ των καρπων απεστειλεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου προσ τουσ γεωργουσ λαβειν τουσ καρπουσ αυτου
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 και λαβοντεσ οι γεωργοι τουσ δουλουσ αυτου ον μεν εδειραν ον δε απεκτειναν ον δε ελιθοβολησαν
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλουσ δουλουσ πλειονασ των πρωτων και εποιησαν αυτοισ ωσαυτωσ
Again he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
37 υστερον δε απεστειλεν προσ αυτουσ τον υιον αυτου λεγων εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 οι δε γεωργοι ιδοντεσ τον υιον ειπον εν εαυτοισ ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και κατασχωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 και λαβοντεσ αυτον εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνοσ και απεκτειναν
And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
40 οταν ουν ελθη ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τι ποιησει τοισ γεωργοισ εκεινοισ
When therefore the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 λεγουσιν αυτω κακουσ κακωσ απολεσει αυτουσ και τον αμπελωνα εκδωσεται αλλοισ γεωργοισ οιτινεσ αποδωσουσιν αυτω τουσ καρπουσ εν τοισ καιροισ αυτων
They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε εν ταισ γραφαισ λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοισ ημων
Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 δια τουτο λεγω υμιν οτι αρθησεται αφ υμων η βασιλεια του θεου και δοθησεται εθνει ποιουντι τουσ καρπουσ αυτησ
Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.
44 και ο πεσων επι τον λιθον τουτον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
And whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 και ακουσαντεσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι τασ παραβολασ αυτου εγνωσαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
46 και ζητουντεσ αυτον κρατησαι εφοβηθησαν τουσ οχλουσ επειδη ωσ προφητην αυτον ειχον
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
