Luke 20
1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντος αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις συν τοις πρεσβυτεροις
2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave 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 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον
11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps 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 tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
ιδοντες δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος
16 He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the 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 this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
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 την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule 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 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
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 Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης 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
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
30 Then the second
και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα και ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 And last of all, the woman died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
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 share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι και μωσης εμηνυσεν επι της βατου ως λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαβιδ ειναι
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
και αυτος δαβιδ λεγει εν βιβλω ψαλμων ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
δαβιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
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 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
