Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
1και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εισ οικον τινοσ των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον
2Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
2και ιδου ανθρωποσ τισ ην υδρωπικοσ εμπροσθεν αυτου
3Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
3και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ τουσ νομικουσ και φαρισαιουσ λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν
4But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
4οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενοσ ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν
5He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
5και αποκριθεισ προσ αυτουσ ειπεν τινοσ υμων υιοσ η βουσ εισ φρεαρ εμπεσειται και ουκ ευθεωσ ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου
6They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
6και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προσ ταυτα
7He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
7ελεγεν δε προσ τουσ κεκλημενουσ παραβολην επεχων πωσ τασ πρωτοκλισιασ εξελεγοντο λεγων προσ αυτουσ
8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
8οταν κληθησ υπο τινοσ εισ γαμουσ μη κατακλιθησ εισ την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτεροσ σου η κεκλημενοσ υπ αυτου
9and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest 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 lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit 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 whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
11οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
12He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
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 make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
13αλλ οταν ποιησ δοχην καλει πτωχουσ αναπηρουσ χωλουσ τυφλουσ
14and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in 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 who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
15ακουσασ δε τισ των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω μακαριοσ οσ φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου
16But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
16ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωποσ τισ εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλουσ
17He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
17και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοισ κεκλημενοισ ερχεσθε οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα
18They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
18και ηρξαντο απο μιασ παραιτεισθαι παντεσ ο πρωτοσ ειπεν αυτω αγρον ηγορασα και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
19“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
19και ετεροσ ειπεν ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
20“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
20και ετεροσ ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν
21“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and 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“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
22και ειπεν ο δουλοσ κυριε γεγονεν ωσ επεταξασ και ετι τοποσ εστιν
23“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
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 that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen. ’”
24λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεισ των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
25Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
25συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ
26“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t 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
27Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
27και οστισ ου βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητησ
28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
28τισ γαρ εξ υμων ο θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισασ ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα εισ απαρτισμον
29Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
29ινα μηποτε θεντοσ αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυοντοσ εκτελεσαι παντεσ οι θεωρουντεσ αρξωνται εμπαιζειν αυτω
30saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
30λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ ο ανθρωποσ ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι
31Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes 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
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
32ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντοσ πρεσβειαν αποστειλασ ερωτα τα προσ ειρηνην
33So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
33ουτωσ ουν πασ εξ υμων οσ ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοισ εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται μου ειναι μαθητησ
34“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
34καλον το αλασ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. 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
