Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
1και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εισ οικον τινοσ των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον
2Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
2και ιδου ανθρωποσ τισ ην υδρωπικοσ εμπροσθεν αυτου
3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
3και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ τουσ νομικουσ και φαρισαιουσ λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν
4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
4οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενοσ ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν
5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
5και αποκριθεισ προσ αυτουσ ειπεν τινοσ υμων υιοσ η βουσ εισ φρεαρ εμπεσειται και ουκ ευθεωσ ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου
6And they were unable to answer these questions.
6και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προσ ταυτα
7When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
7ελεγεν δε προσ τουσ κεκλημενουσ παραβολην επεχων πωσ τασ πρωτοκλισιασ εξελεγοντο λεγων προσ αυτουσ
8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
8οταν κληθησ υπο τινοσ εισ γαμουσ μη κατακλιθησ εισ την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτεροσ σου η κεκλημενοσ υπ αυτου
9Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
9και ελθων ο σε και αυτον καλεσασ ερει σοι δοσ τουτω τοπον και τοτε αρξη μετ αισχυνησ τον εσχατον τοπον κατεχειν
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
10αλλ οταν κληθησ πορευθεισ αναπεσε εισ τον εσχατον τοπον ινα οταν ελθη ο κεκληκωσ σε ειπη σοι φιλε προσαναβηθι ανωτερον τοτε εσται σοι δοξα ενωπιον των συνανακειμενων σοι
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
11οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
12Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
12ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον οταν ποιησ αριστον η δειπνον μη φωνει τουσ φιλουσ σου μηδε τουσ αδελφουσ σου μηδε τουσ συγγενεισ σου μηδε γειτονασ πλουσιουσ μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσιν και γενηται σοι ανταποδομα
13But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
13αλλ οταν ποιησ δοχην καλει πτωχουσ αναπηρουσ χωλουσ τυφλουσ
14and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
14και μακαριοσ εση οτι ουκ εχουσιν ανταποδουναι σοι ανταποδοθησεται γαρ σοι εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων
15When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
15ακουσασ δε τισ των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω μακαριοσ οσ φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου
16But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
16ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωποσ τισ εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλουσ
17When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
17και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοισ κεκλημενοισ ερχεσθε οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα
18But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
18και ηρξαντο απο μιασ παραιτεισθαι παντεσ ο πρωτοσ ειπεν αυτω αγρον ηγορασα και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
19Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
19και ετεροσ ειπεν ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
20Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
20και ετεροσ ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν
21The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
21και παραγενομενοσ ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ απηγγειλεν τω κυριω αυτου ταυτα τοτε οργισθεισ ο οικοδεσποτησ ειπεν τω δουλω αυτου εξελθε ταχεωσ εισ τασ πλατειασ και ρυμασ τησ πολεωσ και τουσ πτωχουσ και αναπηρουσ και χωλουσ και τυφλουσ εισαγαγε ωδε
22‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
22και ειπεν ο δουλοσ κυριε γεγονεν ωσ επεταξασ και ετι τοποσ εστιν
23So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
23και ειπεν ο κυριοσ προσ τον δουλον εξελθε εισ τασ οδουσ και φραγμουσ και αναγκασον εισελθειν ινα γεμισθη ο οικοσ μου
24For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
24λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεισ των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
25Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
25συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ
26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
26ει τισ ερχεται προσ με και ου μισει τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και τουσ αδελφουσ και τασ αδελφασ ετι δε και την εαυτου ψυχην ου δυναται μου μαθητησ ειναι
27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
27και οστισ ου βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητησ
28Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
28τισ γαρ εξ υμων ο θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισασ ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα εισ απαρτισμον
29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
29ινα μηποτε θεντοσ αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυοντοσ εκτελεσαι παντεσ οι θεωρουντεσ αρξωνται εμπαιζειν αυτω
30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
30λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ ο ανθρωποσ ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι
31Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
31η τισ βασιλευσ πορευομενοσ συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εισ πολεμον ουχι καθισασ πρωτον βουλευεται ει δυνατοσ εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον
32And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
32ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντοσ πρεσβειαν αποστειλασ ερωτα τα προσ ειρηνην
33In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
33ουτωσ ουν πασ εξ υμων οσ ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοισ εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται μου ειναι μαθητησ
34Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
34καλον το αλασ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35ουτε εισ γην ουτε εισ κοπριαν ευθετον εστιν εξω βαλλουσιν αυτο ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
