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 δια τι 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 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 καιρω απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ δωσιν 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 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 εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην ειπεν
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 επιδειξατε 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 αντιλεγοντεσ αναστασιν μη ειναι επηρωτησαν αυτον
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked him.
28 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
"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 απεθανεν και η γυνη
"Last of all the woman died too.
33 εν τη ουν αναστασει 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 εκγαμισκονται (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 εκγαμιζονται (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 μωσησ 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 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 κυριον αυτον 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."
