Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
1συγκαλεσαμενοσ δε τουσ δωδεκα εδωκεν αυτοισ δυναμιν και εξουσιαν επι παντα τα δαιμονια και νοσουσ θεραπευειν
2He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
2και απεστειλεν αυτουσ κηρυσσειν την βασιλειαν του θεου και ιασθαι τουσ ασθενουντασ
3He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
3και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ μηδεν αιρετε εισ την οδον μητε ραβδουσ μητε πηραν μητε αρτον μητε αργυριον μητε ανα δυο χιτωνασ εχειν
4Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
4και εισ ην αν οικιαν εισελθητε εκει μενετε και εκειθεν εξερχεσθε
5As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
5και οσοι εαν μη δεξωνται υμασ εξερχομενοι απο τησ πολεωσ εκεινησ και τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων υμων αποτιναξατε εισ μαρτυριον επ αυτουσ
6They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
6εξερχομενοι δε διηρχοντο κατα τασ κωμασ ευαγγελιζομενοι και θεραπευοντεσ πανταχου
7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
7ηκουσεν δε ηρωδησ ο τετραρχησ τα γινομενα υπ αυτου παντα και διηπορει δια το λεγεσθαι υπο τινων οτι ιωαννησ εγηγερται εκ νεκρων
8and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
8υπο τινων δε οτι ηλιασ εφανη αλλων δε οτι προφητησ εισ των αρχαιων ανεστη
9Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
9και ειπεν ηρωδησ ιωαννην εγω απεκεφαλισα τισ δε εστιν ουτοσ περι ου εγω ακουω τοιαυτα και εζητει ιδειν αυτον
10The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
10και υποστρεψαντεσ οι αποστολοι διηγησαντο αυτω οσα εποιησαν και παραλαβων αυτουσ υπεχωρησεν κατ ιδιαν εισ τοπον ερημον πολεωσ καλουμενησ βηθσαιδαν
11But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
11οι δε οχλοι γνοντεσ ηκολουθησαν αυτω και δεξαμενοσ αυτουσ ελαλει αυτοισ περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και τουσ χρειαν εχοντασ θεραπειασ ιατο
12The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
12η δε ημερα ηρξατο κλινειν προσελθοντεσ δε οι δωδεκα ειπον αυτω απολυσον τον οχλον ινα απελθοντεσ εισ τασ κυκλω κωμασ και τουσ αγρουσ καταλυσωσιν και ευρωσιν επισιτισμον οτι ωδε εν ερημω τοπω εσμεν
13But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
13ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ δοτε αυτοισ υμεισ φαγειν οι δε ειπον ουκ εισιν ημιν πλειον η πεντε αρτοι και ιχθυεσ δυο ει μητι πορευθεντεσ ημεισ αγορασωμεν εισ παντα τον λαον τουτον βρωματα
14For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
14ησαν γαρ ωσει ανδρεσ πεντακισχιλιοι ειπεν δε προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου κατακλινατε αυτουσ κλισιασ ανα πεντηκοντα
15They did so, and made them all sit down.
15και εποιησαν ουτωσ και ανεκλιναν απαντασ
16He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
16λαβων δε τουσ πεντε αρτουσ και τουσ δυο ιχθυασ αναβλεψασ εισ τον ουρανον ευλογησεν αυτουσ και κατεκλασεν και εδιδου τοισ μαθηταισ παρατιθεναι τω οχλω
17They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
17και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν παντεσ και ηρθη το περισσευσαν αυτοισ κλασματων κοφινοι δωδεκα
18As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
18και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον προσευχομενον καταμονασ συνησαν αυτω οι μαθηται και επηρωτησεν αυτουσ λεγων τινα με λεγουσιν οι οχλοι ειναι
19They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
19οι δε αποκριθεντεσ ειπον ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην αλλοι δε ηλιαν αλλοι δε οτι προφητησ τισ των αρχαιων ανεστη
20He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
20ειπεν δε αυτοισ υμεισ δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι αποκριθεισ δε ο πετροσ ειπεν τον χριστον του θεου
21But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
21ο δε επιτιμησασ αυτοισ παρηγγειλεν μηδενι ειπειν τουτο
22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
22ειπων οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου πολλα παθειν και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων και αποκτανθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστηναι
23He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
23ελεγεν δε προσ παντασ ει τισ θελει οπισω μου ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι
24For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
24οσ γαρ εαν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι απολεσει αυτην οσ δ αν απολεση την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ουτοσ σωσει αυτην
25For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
25τι γαρ ωφελειται ανθρωποσ κερδησασ τον κοσμον ολον εαυτον δε απολεσασ η ζημιωθεισ
26For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
26οσ γαρ αν επαισχυνθη με και τουσ εμουσ λογουσ τουτον ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επαισχυνθησεται οταν ελθη εν τη δοξη αυτου και του πατροσ και των αγιων αγγελων
27But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
27λεγω δε υμιν αληθωσ εισιν τινεσ των ωδε εστωτων οι ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εωσ αν ιδωσιν την βασιλειαν του θεου
28About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
28εγενετο δε μετα τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ωσει ημεραι οκτω και παραλαβων πετρον και ιωαννην και ιακωβον ανεβη εισ το οροσ προσευξασθαι
29As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
29και εγενετο εν τω προσευχεσθαι αυτον το ειδοσ του προσωπου αυτου ετερον και ο ιματισμοσ αυτου λευκοσ εξαστραπτων
30Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
30και ιδου ανδρεσ δυο συνελαλουν αυτω οιτινεσ ησαν μωσησ και ηλιασ
31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
31οι οφθεντεσ εν δοξη ελεγον την εξοδον αυτου ην εμελλεν πληρουν εν ιερουσαλημ
32Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
32ο δε πετροσ και οι συν αυτω ησαν βεβαρημενοι υπνω διαγρηγορησαντεσ δε ειδον την δοξαν αυτου και τουσ δυο ανδρασ τουσ συνεστωτασ αυτω
33As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
33και εγενετο εν τω διαχωριζεσθαι αυτουσ απ αυτου ειπεν πετροσ προσ τον ιησουν επιστατα καλον εστιν ημασ ωδε ειναι και ποιησωμεν σκηνασ τρεισ μιαν σοι και μιαν μωση και μιαν ηλια μη ειδωσ ο λεγει
34While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
34ταυτα δε αυτου λεγοντοσ εγενετο νεφελη και επεσκιασεν αυτουσ εφοβηθησαν δε εν τω εκεινουσ εισελθειν εισ την νεφελην
35A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
35και φωνη εγενετο εκ τησ νεφελησ λεγουσα ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ μου ο αγαπητοσ αυτου ακουετε
36When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
36και εν τω γενεσθαι την φωνην ευρεθη ο ιησουσ μονοσ και αυτοι εσιγησαν και ουδενι απηγγειλαν εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισ ουδεν ων εωρακασιν
37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
37εγενετο δε εν τη εξησ ημερα κατελθοντων αυτων απο του ορουσ συνηντησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ
38Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
38και ιδου ανηρ απο του οχλου ανεβοησεν λεγων διδασκαλε δεομαι σου επιβλεψαι επι τον υιον μου οτι μονογενησ εστιν μοι
39Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
39και ιδου πνευμα λαμβανει αυτον και εξαιφνησ κραζει και σπαρασσει αυτον μετα αφρου και μογισ αποχωρει απ αυτου συντριβον αυτον
40I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
40και εδεηθην των μαθητων σου ινα εκβαλωσιν αυτο και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν
41Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
41αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ω γενεα απιστοσ και διεστραμμενη εωσ ποτε εσομαι προσ υμασ και ανεξομαι υμων προσαγαγε τον υιον σου ωδε
42While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
42ετι δε προσερχομενου αυτου ερρηξεν αυτον το δαιμονιον και συνεσπαραξεν επετιμησεν δε ο ιησουσ τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω και ιασατο τον παιδα και απεδωκεν αυτον τω πατρι αυτου
43They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
43εξεπλησσοντο δε παντεσ επι τη μεγαλειοτητι του θεου παντων δε θαυμαζοντων επι πασιν οισ εποιησεν ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου
44“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
44θεσθε υμεισ εισ τα ωτα υμων τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ο γαρ υιοσ του ανθρωπου μελλει παραδιδοσθαι εισ χειρασ ανθρωπων
45But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
45οι δε ηγνοουν το ρημα τουτο και ην παρακεκαλυμμενον απ αυτων ινα μη αισθωνται αυτο και εφοβουντο ερωτησαι αυτον περι του ρηματοσ τουτου
46An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
46εισηλθεν δε διαλογισμοσ εν αυτοισ το τισ αν ειη μειζων αυτων
47Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
47ο δε ιησουσ ιδων τον διαλογισμον τησ καρδιασ αυτων επιλαβομενοσ παιδιου εστησεν αυτο παρ εαυτω
48and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
48και ειπεν αυτοισ οσ εαν δεξηται τουτο το παιδιον επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται και οσ εαν εμε δεξηται δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με ο γαρ μικροτεροσ εν πασιν υμιν υπαρχων ουτοσ εσται μεγασ
49John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
49αποκριθεισ δε ο ιωαννησ ειπεν επιστατα ειδομεν τινα επι τω ονοματι σου εκβαλλοντα δαιμονια και εκωλυσαμεν αυτον οτι ουκ ακολουθει μεθ ημων
50Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
50και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο ιησουσ μη κωλυετε οσ γαρ ουκ εστιν καθ ημων υπερ ημων εστιν
51It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
51εγενετο δε εν τω συμπληρουσθαι τασ ημερασ τησ αναληψεωσ αυτου και αυτοσ το προσωπον αυτου εστηριξεν του πορευεσθαι εισ ιερουσαλημ
52and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
52και απεστειλεν αγγελουσ προ προσωπου αυτου και πορευθεντεσ εισηλθον εισ κωμην σαμαρειτων ωστε ετοιμασαι αυτω
53They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
53και ουκ εδεξαντο αυτον οτι το προσωπον αυτου ην πορευομενον εισ ιερουσαλημ
54When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
54ιδοντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου ιακωβοσ και ιωαννησ ειπον κυριε θελεισ ειπωμεν πυρ καταβηναι απο του ουρανου και αναλωσαι αυτουσ ωσ και ηλιασ εποιησεν
55But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
55στραφεισ δε επετιμησεν αυτοισ και ειπεν ουκ οιδατε οιου πνευματοσ εστε υμεισ
56For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
56ο γαρ υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν ψυχασ ανθρωπων απολεσαι αλλα σωσαι και επορευθησαν εισ ετεραν κωμην
57As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
57εγενετο δε πορευομενων αυτων εν τη οδω ειπεν τισ προσ αυτον ακολουθησω σοι οπου αν απερχη κυριε
58Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
58και ειπεν αυτω ο ιησουσ αι αλωπεκεσ φωλεουσ εχουσιν και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνωσεισ ο δε υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ εχει που την κεφαλην κλινη
59He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
59ειπεν δε προσ ετερον ακολουθει μοι ο δε ειπεν κυριε επιτρεψον μοι απελθοντι πρωτον θαψαι τον πατερα μου
60But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
60ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησουσ αφεσ τουσ νεκρουσ θαψαι τουσ εαυτων νεκρουσ συ δε απελθων διαγγελλε την βασιλειαν του θεου
61Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
61ειπεν δε και ετεροσ ακολουθησω σοι κυριε πρωτον δε επιτρεψον μοι αποταξασθαι τοισ εισ τον οικον μου
62But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
62ειπεν δε ο ιησουσ προσ αυτον ουδεισ επιβαλων την χειρα αυτου επ αροτρον και βλεπων εισ τα οπισω ευθετοσ εστιν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
