King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1εν οισ επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ωστε καταπατειν αλληλουσ ηρξατο λεγειν προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοισ απο τησ ζυμησ των φαρισαιων ητισ εστιν υποκρισισ
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
2ουδεν δε συγκεκαλυμμενον εστιν ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
3ανθ ων οσα εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι ακουσθησεται και ο προσ το ουσ ελαλησατε εν τοισ ταμειοισ κηρυχθησεται επι των δωματων
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4λεγω δε υμιν τοισ φιλοισ μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτενοντων το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι
5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
5υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εξουσιαν εχοντα εμβαλειν εισ την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6ουχι πεντε στρουθια πωλειται ασσαριων δυο και εν εξ αυτων ουκ εστιν επιλελησμενον ενωπιον του θεου
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
7αλλα και αι τριχεσ τησ κεφαλησ υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
8λεγω δε υμιν πασ οσ αν ομολογηση εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ομολογησει εν αυτω εμπροσθεν των αγγελων του θεου
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
9ο δε αρνησαμενοσ με ενωπιον των ανθρωπων απαρνηθησεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
10και πασ οσ ερει λογον εισ τον υιον του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω τω δε εισ το αγιον πνευμα βλασφημησαντι ουκ αφεθησεται
11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
11οταν δε προσφερωσιν υμασ επι τασ συναγωγασ και τασ αρχασ και τασ εξουσιασ μη μεριμνατε πωσ η τι απολογησησθε η τι ειπητε
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
12το γαρ αγιον πνευμα διδαξει υμασ εν αυτη τη ωρα α δει ειπειν
13¶ And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
13ειπεν δε τισ αυτω εκ του οχλου διδασκαλε ειπε τω αδελφω μου μερισασθαι μετ εμου την κληρονομιαν
14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
14ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε τισ με κατεστησεν δικαστην η μεριστην εφ υμασ
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
15ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ ορατε και φυλασσεσθε απο τησ πλεονεξιασ οτι ουκ εν τω περισσευειν τινι η ζωη αυτω εστιν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου
16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
16ειπεν δε παραβολην προσ αυτουσ λεγων ανθρωπου τινοσ πλουσιου ευφορησεν η χωρα
17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
17και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τουσ καρπουσ μου
18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
18και ειπεν τουτο ποιησω καθελω μου τασ αποθηκασ και μειζονασ οικοδομησω και συναξω εκει παντα τα γενηματα μου και τα αγαθα μου
19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
19και ερω τη ψυχη μου ψυχη εχεισ πολλα αγαθα κειμενα εισ ετη πολλα αναπαυου φαγε πιε ευφραινου
20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
20ειπεν δε αυτω ο θεοσ αφρον ταυτη τη νυκτι την ψυχην σου απαιτουσιν απο σου α δε ητοιμασασ τινι εσται
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
21ουτωσ ο θησαυριζων εαυτω και μη εισ θεον πλουτων
22¶ And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
22ειπεν δε προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου δια τουτο υμιν λεγω μη μεριμνατε τη ψυχη υμων τι φαγητε μηδε τω σωματι τι ενδυσησθε
23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
23η ψυχη πλειον εστιν τησ τροφησ και το σωμα του ενδυματοσ
24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
24κατανοησατε τουσ κορακασ οτι ου σπειρουσιν ουδε θεριζουσιν οισ ουκ εστιν ταμειον ουδε αποθηκη και ο θεοσ τρεφει αυτουσ ποσω μαλλον υμεισ διαφερετε των πετεινων
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
25τισ δε εξ υμων μεριμνων δυναται προσθειναι επι την ηλικιαν αυτου πηχυν ενα
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
26ει ουν ουτε ελαχιστον δυνασθε τι περι των λοιπων μεριμνατε
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27κατανοησατε τα κρινα πωσ αυξανει ου κοπια ουδε νηθει λεγω δε υμιν ουδε σολομων εν παση τη δοξη αυτου περιεβαλετο ωσ εν τουτων
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
28ει δε τον χορτον εν τω αγρω σημερον οντα και αυριον εισ κλιβανον βαλλομενον ο θεοσ ουτωσ αμφιεννυσιν ποσω μαλλον υμασ ολιγοπιστοι
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
29και υμεισ μη ζητειτε τι φαγητε η τι πιητε και μη μετεωριζεσθε
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
30ταυτα γαρ παντα τα εθνη του κοσμου επιζητει υμων δε ο πατηρ οιδεν οτι χρηζετε τουτων
31¶ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
31πλην ζητειτε την βασιλειαν του θεου και ταυτα παντα προστεθησεται υμιν
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
32μη φοβου το μικρον ποιμνιον οτι ευδοκησεν ο πατηρ υμων δουναι υμιν την βασιλειαν
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
33πωλησατε τα υπαρχοντα υμων και δοτε ελεημοσυνην ποιησατε εαυτοισ βαλαντια μη παλαιουμενα θησαυρον ανεκλειπτον εν τοισ ουρανοισ οπου κλεπτησ ουκ εγγιζει ουδε σησ διαφθειρει
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34οπου γαρ εστιν ο θησαυροσ υμων εκει και η καρδια υμων εσται
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
35εστωσαν υμων αι οσφυεσ περιεζωσμεναι και οι λυχνοι καιομενοι
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
36και υμεισ ομοιοι ανθρωποισ προσδεχομενοισ τον κυριον εαυτων ποτε αναλυση εκ των γαμων ινα ελθοντοσ και κρουσαντοσ ευθεωσ ανοιξωσιν αυτω
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
37μακαριοι οι δουλοι εκεινοι ουσ ελθων ο κυριοσ ευρησει γρηγορουντασ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι περιζωσεται και ανακλινει αυτουσ και παρελθων διακονησει αυτοισ
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
38και εαν ελθη εν τη δευτερα φυλακη και εν τη τριτη φυλακη ελθη και ευρη ουτωσ μακαριοι εισιν οι δουλοι εκεινοι
39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
39τουτο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτησ ποια ωρα ο κλεπτησ ερχεται εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν αφηκεν διορυγηναι τον οικον αυτου
40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
40και υμεισ ουν γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ερχεται
41¶ Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
41ειπεν δε αυτω ο πετροσ κυριε προσ ημασ την παραβολην ταυτην λεγεισ η και προσ παντασ
42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
42ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ τισ αρα εστιν ο πιστοσ οικονομοσ και φρονιμοσ ον καταστησει ο κυριοσ επι τησ θεραπειασ αυτου του διδοναι εν καιρω το σιτομετριον
43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
43μακαριοσ ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ ον ελθων ο κυριοσ αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτωσ
44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
44αληθωσ λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοισ υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
45εαν δε ειπη ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριοσ μου ερχεσθαι και αρξηται τυπτειν τουσ παιδασ και τασ παιδισκασ εσθιειν τε και πινειν και μεθυσκεσθαι
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him , and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
46ηξει ο κυριοσ του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μεροσ αυτου μετα των απιστων θησει
47And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes .
47εκεινοσ δε ο δουλοσ ο γνουσ το θελημα του κυριου εαυτου και μη ετοιμασασ μηδε ποιησασ προσ το θελημα αυτου δαρησεται πολλασ
48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
48ο δε μη γνουσ ποιησασ δε αξια πληγων δαρησεται ολιγασ παντι δε ω εδοθη πολυ πολυ ζητηθησεται παρ αυτου και ω παρεθεντο πολυ περισσοτερον αιτησουσιν αυτον
49¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
49πυρ ηλθον βαλειν εισ την γην και τι θελω ει ηδη ανηφθη
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
50βαπτισμα δε εχω βαπτισθηναι και πωσ συνεχομαι εωσ ου τελεσθη
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
51δοκειτε οτι ειρηνην παρεγενομην δουναι εν τη γη ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ η διαμερισμον
52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52εσονται γαρ απο του νυν πεντε εν οικω ενι διαμεμερισμενοι τρεισ επι δυσιν και δυο επι τρισιν
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
53διαμερισθησεται πατηρ επι υιω και υιοσ επι πατρι μητηρ επι θυγατρι και θυγατηρ επι μητρι πενθερα επι την νυμφην αυτησ και νυμφη επι την πενθεραν αυτησ
54¶ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
54ελεγεν δε και τοισ οχλοισ οταν ιδητε την νεφελην ανατελλουσαν απο δυσμων ευθεωσ λεγετε ομβροσ ερχεται και γινεται ουτωσ
55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
55και οταν νοτον πνεοντα λεγετε οτι καυσων εσται και γινεται
56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
56υποκριται το προσωπον τησ γησ και του ουρανου οιδατε δοκιμαζειν τον δε καιρον τουτον πωσ ου δοκιμαζετε
57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
57τι δε και αφ εαυτων ου κρινετε το δικαιον
58¶ When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
58ωσ γαρ υπαγεισ μετα του αντιδικου σου επ αρχοντα εν τη οδω δοσ εργασιαν απηλλαχθαι απ αυτου μηποτε κατασυρη σε προσ τον κριτην και ο κριτησ σε παραδω τω πρακτορι και ο πρακτωρ σε βαλη εισ φυλακην
59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
59λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθησ εκειθεν εωσ ου και τον εσχατον λεπτον αποδωσ
