Κατα Ματθαιον 9
1 και εμβας εις πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εις την ιδιαν πολιν
Jesus entered a boat, crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινης βεβλημενον και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω θαρσει τεκνον αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι
Behold, they brought to him a paralyzed man lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Son, be of good cheer. Your sins have been forgiven.”
3 και ιδου τινες των γραμματεων ειπαν εν εαυτοις ουτος βλασφημει
Behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”
4 και {VAR1: ειδως } {VAR2: ιδων } ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν ινα τι ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
Jesus knew their thoughts and said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?
5 τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν εγειρε και περιπατει
For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?
6 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω {VAR1: εγειρε } {VAR2: εγερθεις } αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, ... “he said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 και εγερθεις απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
Then the man got up and went away to his house.
8 ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι εφοβηθησαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοις ανθρωποις
When the crowds saw this, they were amazed and praised God, who had given such authority to people.
9 και παραγων ο ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον μαθθαιον λεγομενον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man named Matthew, who was sitting at the tax collection's tent. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
As Jesus sat down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinful people came and dined with Jesus and his disciples.
11 και ιδοντες οι φαρισαιοι ελεγον τοις μαθηταις αυτου δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλος υμων
When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinful people?”
12 ο δε ακουσας ειπεν ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες
When Jesus heard this, he said, “People who are strong in body do not need a physician, only those who are sick.
13 πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεος θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους
You should go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous to repent, but sinners.”
14 τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντες δια τι ημεις και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν {VAR2: [πολλα] } οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν
Then the disciples of John came to him and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
15 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος πενθειν εφ οσον μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιος ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν
Jesus said to them, “Can wedding attendants be sorrowful while the bridegroom is still with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No man puts a piece of new cloth on an old garment, for the patch will tear away from the garment, and a worse tear will be made.
17 ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη γε ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι και ο οινος εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολλυνται αλλα βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους καινους και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται
Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will be spilled, and the wineskins will be destroyed. Instead, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both will be preserved.”
18 ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις ιδου αρχων {VAR1: [εις] προσελθων } {VAR2: εις ελθων } προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν αλλα ελθων επιθες την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται
While Jesus was saying these things to them, behold, an official came and bowed down to him. He said, “My daughter has just now died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 και εγερθεις ο ιησους {VAR1: ηκολουθει } {VAR2: ηκολουθησεν } αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
Then Jesus got up and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 και ιδου γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου
Behold, a woman who suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his garment.
21 ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου σωθησομαι
For she had said to herself, “If only I touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
22 ο δε ιησους στραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπεν θαρσει θυγατερ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης
But Jesus turned and saw her, and said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον
When Jesus came into the official's house, he saw the flute players and the crowds making much noise.
24 ελεγεν αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου
He said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead, but she is asleep.” But they laughed at him in mockery.
25 οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος εισελθων εκρατησεν της χειρος αυτης και ηγερθη το κορασιον
When the crowd had been put outside, he entered the room and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.
26 και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην
The news about this spread into all that region.
27 και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν {VAR2: [αυτω] } δυο τυφλοι κραζοντες και λεγοντες ελεησον ημας {VAR1: υιε } {VAR2: υιος } δαυιδ
As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him. They kept shouting and saying, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 ελθοντι δε εις την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
When Jesus had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν
Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done to you according to your faith,”
30 και ηνεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ενεβριμηθη αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων ορατε μηδεις γινωσκετω
and their eyes were opened. Then Jesus strictly commanded them and said, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 οι δε εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη
But the two men went out and spread the news about this throughout that region.
32 αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω {VAR2: ανθρωπον } κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
As those two men were going away, behold, a mute man possessed by a demon was brought to Jesus.
33 και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ
When the demon had been driven out, the mute man spoke. The crowds were astonished and said, “This has never been seen before in Israel!”
34 {VAR1: [οι } {VAR2: οι } δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα {VAR1: δαιμονια] } {VAR2: δαιμονια }
But the Pharisees were saying, “By the ruler of the demons, he drives out demons.”
35 και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν
Jesus went about all the cities and the villages. He continued teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness.
36 ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εσκυλμενοι και ερριμμενοι ωσει προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were troubled and discouraged. They were like sheep without a shepherd.
37 τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου
Therefore urgently pray to the Lord of the harvest, so that he may send out laborers into his harvest.”
