Luke 20
1 Now it happened on one of those days, as He was teaching and evangelizing the people in the temple, that the priests and scribes came to Him 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 addressed Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things; or who is he 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 But in answer He said to them: “I also will ask you one thing; yes, tell me:
αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον και ειπατε μοι
4 the baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων
5 So they reasoned among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘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 persuaded 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 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, leased it to farmers, and went away on a long journey.
ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους
10 At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers flogged him 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 Again he sent a different slave; so they flogged him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον
12 And again he sent a third; but they wounded him also and threw him out.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
13 Then the owner of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; hopefully they will respect him when they see him.’
ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τι ποιησω πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται
14 But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, so that the inheritance may become 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 therefore 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 destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” Having heard it they said, “May it never be!”
ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις ακουσαντες δε ειπον μη γενοιτο
17 Then He looked directly at them and said: “What then is this that is written: ‘A stone that the builders rejected, the same became 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 that stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it should fall—it will crush him!”
πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
19 The chief priests and the scribes wanted to lay hands on Him right then, but they were afraid —they knew He had spoken this parable against 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 Keeping a close watch on Him, they sent spies, who pretended to be innocent, so that they might latch on to something He said, so as to hand Him over to the power and the 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 So they questioned Him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and you do not show favoritism but 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 taxes to Caesar, or not?”
εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου
23 But He perceived their craftiness and said to them: “Why are you testing 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 answer they said, “Caesar's.”
επιδειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην αποκριθεντες δε ειπον καισαρος
25 So He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
26 They were unable to latch on to His word in front of the people; and marveling at His answer they kept silent.
και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned Him,
προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων οι αντιλεγοντες αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's married brother dies childless, then his brother should take the widow and produce 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 Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife and died childless;
επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος
30 then the second took the widow and he died childless;
και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος
31 then the third took her, in fact all seven in sequence—they all died childless.
και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα {VAR2: και } ου κατελιπον τεκνα και απεθανον
32 Finally, last of all, the woman died also.
υστερον {VAR1: δε } παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
33 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since all seven had her?”
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
34 So in answer Jesus said to them: “The people 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 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, to the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are 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 Because they cannot die anymore, being like angels—they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου της αναστασεως υιοι οντες
37 But that the dead are raised, Moses indeed revealed about the Bush when he recorded: ‘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 So He is not the God of the dead, but of the living—to Him all are alive.”
θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων αλλα ζωντων παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν
39 Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you spoke well.”
αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον διδασκαλε καλως ειπας
40 And they no longer dared to question Him further.
ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν
41 Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's Son?
ειπεν δε προς αυτους πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαβιδ ειναι
42 Why David himself affirms 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 Since David calls Him ‘Lord’, how then is He his Son?”
δαβιδ ουν κυριον αυτον καλει και πως υιος αυτου εστιν
45 Then, in the hearing of the people, He said to His disciples:
ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at 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’ widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers. These will receive more severe judgment.”
οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
