Luke 20
1 And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,
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 and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given 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 And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:
αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then 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, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι
7 And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn 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 And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove 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 And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’
ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
14 And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that 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 And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord 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 destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”
ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’
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 that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.”
πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them.
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 And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator.
και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος
21 And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in 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 the tribute to Caesar, or not?”
εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
23 But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?
κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους τι με πειραζετε
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
25 And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,
προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.
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 And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
30 And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
31 And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα και ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 Last of all, the woman also died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
34 And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
35 Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμισκονται (aiōn g165)
36 For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
37 For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and 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 And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”
θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
40 And they no longer dared to question him about anything.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?
ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαβιδ ειναι
42 Even 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 set your enemies as your footstool.’
εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
δαβιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
45 Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
46 “Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,
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 who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”
οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
