Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
1εν εκεινη τη ωρα προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντεσ τισ αρα μειζων εστιν εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
2και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ο ιησουσ παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
3και ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη στραφητε και γενησθε ωσ τα παιδια ου μη εισελθητε εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4οστισ ουν ταπεινωσει εαυτον ωσ το παιδιον τουτο ουτοσ εστιν ο μειζων εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
5και οσ εαν δεξηται παιδιον τοιουτον εν επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται
6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
6οσ δ αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εισ εμε συμφερει αυτω ινα κρεμασθη μυλοσ ονικοσ εισ τον τραχηλον αυτου και καταποντισθη εν τω πελαγει τησ θαλασσησ
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
7ουαι τω κοσμω απο των σκανδαλων αναγκη γαρ εστιν ελθειν τα σκανδαλα πλην ουαι τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου το σκανδαλον ερχεται
8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
8ει δε η χειρ σου η ο πουσ σου σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτα και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν εισελθειν εισ την ζωην χωλον η κυλλον η δυο χειρασ η δυο ποδασ εχοντα βληθηναι εισ το πυρ το αιωνιον
9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
9και ει ο οφθαλμοσ σου σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν μονοφθαλμον εισ την ζωην εισελθειν η δυο οφθαλμουσ εχοντα βληθηναι εισ την γεενναν του πυροσ
10See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
10ορατε μη καταφρονησητε ενοσ των μικρων τουτων λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν ουρανοισ δια παντοσ βλεπουσιν το προσωπον του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ
no verse 11 in this text
11ηλθεν γαρ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου σωσαι το απολωλοσ
12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
12τι υμιν δοκει εαν γενηται τινι ανθρωπω εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων ουχι αφεισ τα ενενηκοντα εννεα επι τα ορη πορευθεισ ζητει το πλανωμενον
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
13και εαν γενηται ευρειν αυτο αμην λεγω υμιν οτι χαιρει επ αυτω μαλλον η επι τοισ ενενηκοντα εννεα τοισ μη πεπλανημενοισ
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
14ουτωσ ουκ εστιν θελημα εμπροσθεν του πατροσ υμων του εν ουρανοισ ινα αποληται εισ των μικρων τουτων
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
15εαν δε αμαρτηση εισ σε ο αδελφοσ σου υπαγε και ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου εαν σου ακουση εκερδησασ τον αδελφον σου
16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
16εαν δε μη ακουση παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο ινα επι στοματοσ δυο μαρτυρων η τριων σταθη παν ρημα
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
17εαν δε παρακουση αυτων ειπε τη εκκλησια εαν δε και τησ εκκλησιασ παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικοσ και ο τελωνησ
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
18αμην λεγω υμιν οσα εαν δησητε επι τησ γησ εσται δεδεμενα εν τω ουρανω και οσα εαν λυσητε επι τησ γησ εσται λελυμενα εν τω ουρανω
19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
19παλιν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εαν δυο υμων συμφωνησωσιν επι τησ γησ περι παντοσ πραγματοσ ου εαν αιτησωνται γενησεται αυτοισ παρα του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
20ου γαρ εισιν δυο η τρεισ συνηγμενοι εισ το εμον ονομα εκει ειμι εν μεσω αυτων
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
21τοτε προσελθων αυτω ο πετροσ ειπεν κυριε ποσακισ αμαρτησει εισ εμε ο αδελφοσ μου και αφησω αυτω εωσ επτακισ
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
22λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ου λεγω σοι εωσ επτακισ αλλ εωσ εβδομηκοντακισ επτα
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23δια τουτο ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οσ ηθελησεν συναραι λογον μετα των δουλων αυτου
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
24αρξαμενου δε αυτου συναιρειν προσηνεχθη αυτω εισ οφειλετησ μυριων ταλαντων
25Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
25μη εχοντοσ δε αυτου αποδουναι εκελευσεν αυτον ο κυριοσ αυτου πραθηναι και την γυναικα αυτου και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα ειχεν και αποδοθηναι
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
26πεσων ουν ο δουλοσ προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων κυριε μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και παντα σοι αποδωσω
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
27σπλαγχνισθεισ δε ο κυριοσ του δουλου εκεινου απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν αυτω
28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
28εξελθων δε ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου οσ ωφειλεν αυτω εκατον δηναρια και κρατησασ αυτον επνιγεν λεγων αποδοσ μοι ει τι οφειλεισ
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
29πεσων ουν ο συνδουλοσ αυτου εισ τουσ ποδασ αυτου παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και αποδωσω σοι
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
30ο δε ουκ ηθελεν αλλα απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εισ φυλακην εωσ ου αποδω το οφειλομενον
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
31ιδοντεσ δε οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντεσ διεσαφησαν τω κυριω εαυτων παντα τα γενομενα
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
32τοτε προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτον ο κυριοσ αυτου λεγει αυτω δουλε πονηρε πασαν την οφειλην εκεινην αφηκα σοι επει παρεκαλεσασ με
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
33ουκ εδει και σε ελεησαι τον συνδουλον σου ωσ και εγω σε ηλεησα
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
34και οργισθεισ ο κυριοσ αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον τοισ βασανισταισ εωσ ου αποδω παν το οφειλομενον αυτω
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
35ουτωσ και ο πατηρ μου ο επουρανιοσ ποιησει υμιν εαν μη αφητε εκαστοσ τω αδελφω αυτου απο των καρδιων υμων τα παραπτωματα αυτων
