Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1τοτε ο ιησουσ ελαλησεν τοισ οχλοισ και τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
2Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
2λεγων επι τησ μωσεωσ καθεδρασ εκαθισαν οι γραμματεισ και οι φαρισαιοι
3All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
3παντα ουν οσα εαν ειπωσιν υμιν τηρειν τηρειτε και ποιειτε κατα δε τα εργα αυτων μη ποιειτε λεγουσιν γαρ και ου ποιουσιν
4For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
4δεσμευουσιν γαρ φορτια βαρεα και δυσβαστακτα και επιτιθεασιν επι τουσ ωμουσ των ανθρωπων τω δε δακτυλω αυτων ου θελουσιν κινησαι αυτα
5And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
5παντα δε τα εργα αυτων ποιουσιν προσ το θεαθηναι τοισ ανθρωποισ πλατυνουσιν δε τα φυλακτηρια αυτων και μεγαλυνουσιν τα κρασπεδα των ιματιων αυτων
6And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
6φιλουσιν τε την πρωτοκλισιαν εν τοισ δειπνοισ και τασ πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ
7And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
7και τουσ ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ και καλεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων ραββι ραββι
8But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
8υμεισ δε μη κληθητε ραββι εισ γαρ εστιν υμων ο καθηγητησ ο χριστοσ παντεσ δε υμεισ αδελφοι εστε
9And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
9και πατερα μη καλεσητε υμων επι τησ γησ εισ γαρ εστιν ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ
10Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.
10μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται εισ γαρ υμων εστιν ο καθηγητησ ο χριστοσ
11He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
11ο δε μειζων υμων εσται υμων διακονοσ
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12οστισ δε υψωσει εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και οστισ ταπεινωσει εαυτον υψωθησεται
13But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.
13ουαι δε υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κατεσθιετε τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι δια τουτο ληψεσθε περισσοτερον κριμα
14Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.
14ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κλειετε την βασιλειαν των ουρανων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων υμεισ γαρ ουκ εισερχεσθε ουδε τουσ εισερχομενουσ αφιετε εισελθειν
15Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
15ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι περιαγετε την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν ποιησαι ενα προσηλυτον και οταν γενηται ποιειτε αυτον υιον γεεννησ διπλοτερον υμων
16Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.
16ουαι υμιν οδηγοι τυφλοι οι λεγοντεσ οσ αν ομοση εν τω ναω ουδεν εστιν οσ δ αν ομοση εν τω χρυσω του ναου οφειλει
17Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
17μωροι και τυφλοι τισ γαρ μειζων εστιν ο χρυσοσ η ο ναοσ ο αγιαζων τον χρυσον
18And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
18και οσ εαν ομοση εν τω θυσιαστηριω ουδεν εστιν οσ δ αν ομοση εν τω δωρω τω επανω αυτου οφειλει
19Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
19μωροι και τυφλοι τι γαρ μειζον το δωρον η το θυσιαστηριον το αγιαζον το δωρον
20He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
20ο ουν ομοσασ εν τω θυσιαστηριω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν πασιν τοισ επανω αυτου
21And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
21και ο ομοσασ εν τω ναω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν τω κατοικησαντι αυτον
22And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
22και ο ομοσασ εν τω ουρανω ομνυει εν τω θρονω του θεου και εν τω καθημενω επανω αυτου
23Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.
23ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το ανηθον και το κυμινον και αφηκατε τα βαρυτερα του νομου την κρισιν και τον ελεον και την πιστιν ταυτα εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη αφιεναι
24Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
24οδηγοι τυφλοι οι διυλιζοντεσ τον κωνωπα την δε καμηλον καταπινοντεσ
25Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
25ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι καθαριζετε το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και τησ παροψιδοσ εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν εξ αρπαγησ και αδικιασ
26Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
26φαρισαιε τυφλε καθαρισον πρωτον το εντοσ του ποτηριου και τησ παροψιδοσ ινα γενηται και το εκτοσ αυτων καθαρον
27Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness.
27ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι παρομοιαζετε ταφοισ κεκονιαμενοισ οιτινεσ εξωθεν μεν φαινονται ωραιοι εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν οστεων νεκρων και πασησ ακαθαρσιασ
28So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28ουτωσ και υμεισ εξωθεν μεν φαινεσθε τοισ ανθρωποισ δικαιοι εσωθεν δε μεστοι εστε υποκρισεωσ και ανομιασ
29Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
29ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι οικοδομειτε τουσ ταφουσ των προφητων και κοσμειτε τα μνημεια των δικαιων
30And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
30και λεγετε ει ημεν εν ταισ ημεραισ των πατερων ημων ουκ αν ημεν κοινωνοι αυτων εν τω αιματι των προφητων
31Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
31ωστε μαρτυρειτε εαυτοισ οτι υιοι εστε των φονευσαντων τουσ προφητασ
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
32και υμεισ πληρωσατε το μετρον των πατερων υμων
33You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?
33οφεισ γεννηματα εχιδνων πωσ φυγητε απο τησ κρισεωσ τησ γεεννησ
34Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
34δια τουτο ιδου εγω αποστελλω προσ υμασ προφητασ και σοφουσ και γραμματεισ και εξ αυτων αποκτενειτε και σταυρωσετε και εξ αυτων μαστιγωσετε εν ταισ συναγωγαισ υμων και διωξετε απο πολεωσ εισ πολιν
35That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
35οπωσ ελθη εφ υμασ παν αιμα δικαιον εκχυνομενον επι τησ γησ απο του αιματοσ αβελ του δικαιου εωσ του αιματοσ ζαχαριου υιου βαραχιου ον εφονευσατε μεταξυ του ναου και του θυσιαστηριου
36Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
36αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ηξει παντα ταυτα επι την γενεαν ταυτην
37Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
37ιερουσαλημ ιερουσαλημ η αποκτενουσα τουσ προφητασ και λιθοβολουσα τουσ απεσταλμενουσ προσ αυτην ποσακισ ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον επισυναγει ορνισ τα νοσσια εαυτησ υπο τασ πτερυγασ και ουκ ηθελησατε
38Behold, you house shall be left to you, desolate.
38ιδου αφιεται υμιν ο οικοσ υμων ερημοσ
39For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
39λεγω γαρ υμιν ου μη με ιδητε απ αρτι εωσ αν ειπητε ευλογημενοσ ο ερχομενοσ εν ονοματι κυριου
