Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
1επει δε επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εισ τασ ακοασ του λαου εισηλθεν εισ καπερναουμ
2A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
2εκατονταρχου δε τινοσ δουλοσ κακωσ εχων εμελλεν τελευταν οσ ην αυτω εντιμοσ
3When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
3ακουσασ δε περι του ιησου απεστειλεν προσ αυτον πρεσβυτερουσ των ιουδαιων ερωτων αυτον οπωσ ελθων διασωση τον δουλον αυτου
4When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
4οι δε παραγενομενοι προσ τον ιησουν παρεκαλουν αυτον σπουδαιωσ λεγοντεσ οτι αξιοσ εστιν ω παρεξει τουτο
5for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
5αγαπα γαρ το εθνοσ ημων και την συναγωγην αυτοσ ωκοδομησεν ημιν
6Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
6ο δε ιησουσ επορευετο συν αυτοισ ηδη δε αυτου ου μακραν απεχοντοσ απο τησ οικιασ επεμψεν προσ αυτον ο εκατονταρχοσ φιλουσ λεγων αυτω κυριε μη σκυλλου ου γαρ ειμι ικανοσ ινα υπο την στεγην μου εισελθησ
7Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
7διο ουδε εμαυτον ηξιωσα προσ σε ελθειν αλλ ειπε λογω και ιαθησεται ο παισ μου
8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
8και γαρ εγω ανθρωποσ ειμι υπο εξουσιαν τασσομενοσ εχων υπ εμαυτον στρατιωτασ και λεγω τουτω πορευθητι και πορευεται και αλλω ερχου και ερχεται και τω δουλω μου ποιησον τουτο και ποιει
9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
9ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο ιησουσ εθαυμασεν αυτον και στραφεισ τω ακολουθουντι αυτω οχλω ειπεν λεγω υμιν ουτε εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
10Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
10και υποστρεψαντεσ οι πεμφθεντεσ εισ τον οικον ευρον τον ασθενουντα δουλον υγιαινοντα
11Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
11και εγενετο εν τω εξησ επορευετο εισ πολιν καλουμενην ναιν και συνεπορευοντο αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ικανοι και οχλοσ πολυσ
12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
12ωσ δε ηγγισεν τη πυλη τησ πολεωσ και ιδου εξεκομιζετο τεθνηκωσ υιοσ μονογενησ τη μητρι αυτου και αυτη χηρα και οχλοσ τησ πολεωσ ικανοσ συν αυτη
13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
13και ιδων αυτην ο κυριοσ εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτη και ειπεν αυτη μη κλαιε
14He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
14και προσελθων ηψατο τησ σορου οι δε βασταζοντεσ εστησαν και ειπεν νεανισκε σοι λεγω εγερθητι
15He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
15και ανεκαθισεν ο νεκροσ και ηρξατο λαλειν και εδωκεν αυτον τη μητρι αυτου
16Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
16ελαβεν δε φοβοσ παντασ και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντεσ οτι προφητησ μεγασ εγηγερται εν ημιν και οτι επεσκεψατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου
17This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
17και εξηλθεν ο λογοσ ουτοσ εν ολη τη ιουδαια περι αυτου και εν παση τη περιχωρω
18The disciples of John told him about all these things.
18και απηγγειλαν ιωαννη οι μαθηται αυτου περι παντων τουτων
19John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
19και προσκαλεσαμενοσ δυο τινασ των μαθητων αυτου ο ιωαννησ επεμψεν προσ τον ιησουν λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενοσ η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
20When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
20παραγενομενοι δε προσ αυτον οι ανδρεσ ειπον ιωαννησ ο βαπτιστησ απεσταλκεν ημασ προσ σε λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενοσ η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
21εν αυτη δε τη ωρα εθεραπευσεν πολλουσ απο νοσων και μαστιγων και πνευματων πονηρων και τυφλοισ πολλοισ εχαρισατο το βλεπειν
22Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
22και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ πορευθεντεσ απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ειδετε και ηκουσατε οτι τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται κωφοι ακουουσιν νεκροι εγειρονται πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται
23Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
23και μακαριοσ εστιν οσ εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
24When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
24απελθοντων δε των αγγελων ιωαννου ηρξατο λεγειν τοισ οχλοισ περι ιωαννου τι εξεληλυθατε εισ την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
25But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
25αλλα τι εξεληλυθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοισ ιματιοισ ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι εν ιματισμω ενδοξω και τρυφη υπαρχοντεσ εν τοισ βασιλειοισ εισιν
26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
26αλλα τι εξεληλυθατε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
27This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
27ουτοσ εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου οσ κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
28“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
28λεγω γαρ υμιν μειζων εν γεννητοισ γυναικων προφητησ ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ουδεισ εστιν ο δε μικροτεροσ εν τη βασιλεια του θεου μειζων αυτου εστιν
29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
29και πασ ο λαοσ ακουσασ και οι τελωναι εδικαιωσαν τον θεον βαπτισθεντεσ το βαπτισμα ιωαννου
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
30οι δε φαρισαιοι και οι νομικοι την βουλην του θεου ηθετησαν εισ εαυτουσ μη βαπτισθεντεσ υπ αυτου
31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
31τινι ουν ομοιωσω τουσ ανθρωπουσ τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και τινι εισιν ομοιοι
32They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
32ομοιοι εισιν παιδιοισ τοισ εν αγορα καθημενοισ και προσφωνουσιν αλληλοισ και λεγουσιν ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν υμιν και ουκ εκλαυσατε
33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
33εληλυθεν γαρ ιωαννησ ο βαπτιστησ μητε αρτον εσθιων μητε οινον πινων και λεγετε δαιμονιον εχει
34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
34εληλυθεν ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγετε ιδου ανθρωποσ φαγοσ και οινοποτησ φιλοσ τελωνων και αμαρτωλων
35Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
35και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτησ παντων
36One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
36ηρωτα δε τισ αυτον των φαρισαιων ινα φαγη μετ αυτου και εισελθων εισ την οικιαν του φαρισαιου ανεκλιθη
37Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
37και ιδου γυνη εν τη πολει ητισ ην αμαρτωλοσ επιγνουσα οτι ανακειται εν τη οικια του φαρισαιου κομισασα αλαβαστρον μυρου
38Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
38και στασα παρα τουσ ποδασ αυτου οπισω κλαιουσα ηρξατο βρεχειν τουσ ποδασ αυτου τοισ δακρυσιν και ταισ θριξιν τησ κεφαλησ αυτησ εξεμασσεν και κατεφιλει τουσ ποδασ αυτου και ηλειφεν τω μυρω
39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
39ιδων δε ο φαρισαιοσ ο καλεσασ αυτον ειπεν εν εαυτω λεγων ουτοσ ει ην προφητησ εγινωσκεν αν τισ και ποταπη η γυνη ητισ απτεται αυτου οτι αμαρτωλοσ εστιν
40Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
40και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ αυτον σιμων εχω σοι τι ειπειν ο δε φησιν διδασκαλε ειπε
41“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
41δυο χρεωφειλεται ησαν δανειστη τινι ο εισ ωφειλεν δηναρια πεντακοσια ο δε ετεροσ πεντηκοντα
42When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
42μη εχοντων δε αυτων αποδουναι αμφοτεροισ εχαρισατο τισ ουν αυτων ειπε πλειον αυτον αγαπησει
43Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
43αποκριθεισ δε ο σιμων ειπεν υπολαμβανω οτι ω το πλειον εχαρισατο ο δε ειπεν αυτω ορθωσ εκρινασ
44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
44και στραφεισ προσ την γυναικα τω σιμωνι εφη βλεπεισ ταυτην την γυναικα εισηλθον σου εισ την οικιαν υδωρ επι τουσ ποδασ μου ουκ εδωκασ αυτη δε τοισ δακρυσιν εβρεξεν μου τουσ ποδασ και ταισ θριξιν τησ κεφαλησ αυτησ εξεμαξεν
45You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
45φιλημα μοι ουκ εδωκασ αυτη δε αφ ησ εισηλθον ου διελιπεν καταφιλουσα μου τουσ ποδασ
46You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
46ελαιω την κεφαλην μου ουκ ηλειψασ αυτη δε μυρω ηλειψεν μου τουσ ποδασ
47Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
47ου χαριν λεγω σοι αφεωνται αι αμαρτιαι αυτησ αι πολλαι οτι ηγαπησεν πολυ ω δε ολιγον αφιεται ολιγον αγαπα
48He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
48ειπεν δε αυτη αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι
49Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
49και ηρξαντο οι συνανακειμενοι λεγειν εν εαυτοισ τισ ουτοσ εστιν οσ και αμαρτιασ αφιησιν
50He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
50ειπεν δε προσ την γυναικα η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εισ ειρηνην
