< Κατα Ματθαιον 16 >

1 και προσελθοντεσ οι φαρισαιοι και σαδδουκαιοι πειραζοντεσ επηρωτησαν αυτον σημειον εκ του ουρανου επιδειξαι αυτοισ
The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ οψιασ γενομενησ λεγετε ευδια πυρραζει γαρ ο ουρανοσ
But he answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'
3 και πρωι σημερον χειμων πυρραζει γαρ στυγναζων ο ουρανοσ υποκριται το μεν προσωπον του ουρανου γινωσκετε διακρινειν τα δε σημεια των καιρων ου δυνασθε
In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλισ σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου και καταλιπων αυτουσ απηλθεν
An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of Jonah." He left them, and departed.
5 και ελθοντεσ οι μαθηται αυτου εισ το περαν επελαθοντο αρτουσ λαβειν
The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.
6 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ορατε και προσεχετε απο τησ ζυμησ των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
Jesus said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 οι δε διελογιζοντο εν εαυτοισ λεγοντεσ οτι αρτουσ ουκ ελαβομεν
They reasoned among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8 γνουσ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ τι διαλογιζεσθε εν εαυτοισ ολιγοπιστοι οτι αρτουσ ουκ ελαβετε
But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?
9 ουπω νοειτε ουδε μνημονευετε τουσ πεντε αρτουσ των πεντακισχιλιων και ποσουσ κοφινουσ ελαβετε
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 ουδε τουσ επτα αρτουσ των τετρακισχιλιων και ποσασ σπυριδασ ελαβετε
Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 πωσ ου νοειτε οτι ου περι αρτου ειπον υμιν προσεχειν απο τησ ζυμησ των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 τοτε συνηκαν οτι ουκ ειπεν προσεχειν απο τησ ζυμησ του αρτου αλλα απο τησ διδαχησ των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 ελθων δε ο ιησουσ εισ τα μερη καισαρειασ τησ φιλιππου ηρωτα τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγων τινα με λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι ειναι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
14 οι δε ειπον οι μεν ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην αλλοι δε ηλιαν ετεροι δε ιερεμιαν η ενα των προφητων
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 λεγει αυτοισ υμεισ δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 αποκριθεισ δε σιμων πετροσ ειπεν συ ει ο χριστοσ ο υιοσ του θεου του ζωντοσ
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω μακαριοσ ει σιμων βαριωνα οτι σαρξ και αιμα ουκ απεκαλυψεν σοι αλλ ο πατηρ μου ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 καγω δε σοι λεγω οτι συ ει πετροσ και επι ταυτη τη πετρα οικοδομησω μου την εκκλησιαν και πυλαι αδου ου κατισχυσουσιν αυτησ (Hadēs g86)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 και δωσω σοι τασ κλεισ τησ βασιλειασ των ουρανων και ο εαν δησησ επι τησ γησ εσται δεδεμενον εν τοισ ουρανοισ και ο εαν λυσησ επι τησ γησ εσται λελυμενον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
20 τοτε διεστειλατο τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οτι αυτοσ εστιν ιησουσ ο χριστοσ
Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Christ.
21 απο τοτε ηρξατο ο ιησουσ δεικνυειν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου οτι δει αυτον απελθειν εισ ιεροσολυμα και πολλα παθειν απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων και αποκτανθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα εγερθηναι
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22 και προσλαβομενοσ αυτον ο πετροσ ηρξατο επιτιμαν αυτω λεγων ιλεωσ σοι κυριε ου μη εσται σοι τουτο
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."
23 ο δε στραφεισ ειπεν τω πετρω υπαγε οπισω μου σατανα σκανδαλον μου ει οτι ου φρονεισ τα του θεου αλλα τα των ανθρωπων
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of humans."
24 τοτε ο ιησουσ ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου ει τισ θελει οπισω μου ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 οσ γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι απολεσει αυτην οσ δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 τι γαρ ωφελειται ανθρωποσ εαν τον κοσμον ολον κερδηση την δε ψυχην αυτου ζημιωθη η τι δωσει ανθρωποσ ανταλλαγμα τησ ψυχησ αυτου
For what will it profit a person, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
27 μελλει γαρ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατροσ αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
28 αμην λεγω υμιν εισιν τινεσ ωδε εστωτεσ οιτινεσ ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εωσ αν ιδωσιν τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν τη βασιλεια αυτου
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
