Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
1εν εκεινω τω καιρω επορευθη ο ιησουσ τοισ σαββασιν δια των σποριμων οι δε μαθηται αυτου επεινασαν και ηρξαντο τιλλειν σταχυασ και εσθιειν
2But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
2οι δε φαρισαιοι ιδοντεσ ειπον αυτω ιδου οι μαθηται σου ποιουσιν ο ουκ εξεστιν ποιειν εν σαββατω
3But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
3ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν δαυιδ οτε επεινασεν αυτοσ και οι μετ αυτου
4how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
4πωσ εισηλθεν εισ τον οικον του θεου και τουσ αρτουσ τησ προθεσεωσ εφαγεν ουσ ουκ εξον ην αυτω φαγειν ουδε τοισ μετ αυτου ει μη τοισ ιερευσιν μονοισ
5Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
5η ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τω νομω οτι τοισ σαββασιν οι ιερεισ εν τω ιερω το σαββατον βεβηλουσιν και αναιτιοι εισιν
6But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
6λεγω δε υμιν οτι του ιερου μειζον εστιν ωδε
7But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
7ει δε εγνωκειτε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ουκ αν κατεδικασατε τουσ αναιτιουσ
8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
8κυριοσ γαρ εστιν του σαββατου ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
9He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
9και μεταβασ εκειθεν ηλθεν εισ την συναγωγην αυτων
10And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
10και ιδου ανθρωποσ ην την χειρα εχων ξηραν και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ ει εξεστιν τοισ σαββασιν θεραπευειν ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου
11He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
11ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ τισ εσται εξ υμων ανθρωποσ οσ εξει προβατον εν και εαν εμπεση τουτο τοισ σαββασιν εισ βοθυνον ουχι κρατησει αυτο και εγερει
12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
12ποσω ουν διαφερει ανθρωποσ προβατου ωστε εξεστιν τοισ σαββασιν καλωσ ποιειν
13Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
13τοτε λεγει τω ανθρωπω εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εξετεινεν και αποκατεσταθη υγιησ ωσ η αλλη
14But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
14οι δε φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον κατ αυτου εξελθοντεσ οπωσ αυτον απολεσωσιν
15Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
15ο δε ιησουσ γνουσ ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ παντασ
16and commanded them that they should not make him known,
16και επετιμησεν αυτοισ ινα μη φανερον αυτον ποιησωσιν
17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
17οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ
18“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
18ιδου ο παισ μου ον ηρετισα ο αγαπητοσ μου εισ ον ευδοκησεν η ψυχη μου θησω το πνευμα μου επ αυτον και κρισιν τοισ εθνεσιν απαγγελει
19He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
19ουκ ερισει ουδε κραυγασει ουδε ακουσει τισ εν ταισ πλατειαισ την φωνην αυτου
20He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
20καλαμον συντετριμμενον ου κατεαξει και λινον τυφομενον ου σβεσει εωσ αν εκβαλη εισ νικοσ την κρισιν
21In his name, the nations will hope.”
21και τω ονοματι αυτου εθνη ελπιουσιν
22Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
22τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω δαιμονιζομενοσ τυφλοσ και κωφοσ και εθεραπευσεν αυτον ωστε τον τυφλον και κωφον και λαλειν και βλεπειν
23All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
23και εξισταντο παντεσ οι οχλοι και ελεγον μητι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ δαυιδ
24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
24οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντεσ ειπον ουτοσ ουκ εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια ει μη εν τω βεελζεβουλ αρχοντι των δαιμονιων
25Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
25ειδωσ δε ο ιησουσ τασ ενθυμησεισ αυτων ειπεν αυτοισ πασα βασιλεια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτησ ερημουται και πασα πολισ η οικια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτησ ου σταθησεται
26If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
26και ει ο σατανασ τον σαταναν εκβαλλει εφ εαυτον εμερισθη πωσ ουν σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου
27If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
27και ει εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο αυτοι υμων εσονται κριται
28But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
28ει δε εν πνευματι θεου εγω εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
29Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
29η πωσ δυναται τισ εισελθειν εισ την οικιαν του ισχυρου και τα σκευη αυτου διαρπασαι εαν μη πρωτον δηση τον ισχυρον και τοτε την οικιαν αυτου διαρπασει
30“He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
30ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
31δια τουτο λεγω υμιν πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια αφεθησεται τοισ ανθρωποισ η δε του πνευματοσ βλασφημια ουκ αφεθησεται τοισ ανθρωποισ
32Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.
32και οσ εαν ειπη λογον κατα του υιου του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω οσ δ αν ειπη κατα του πνευματοσ του αγιου ουκ αφεθησεται αυτω ουτε εν τω νυν αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι
33“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
33η ποιησατε το δενδρον καλον και τον καρπον αυτου καλον η ποιησατε το δενδρον σαπρον και τον καρπον αυτου σαπρον εκ γαρ του καρπου το δενδρον γινωσκεται
34You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
34γεννηματα εχιδνων πωσ δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντεσ εκ γαρ του περισσευματοσ τησ καρδιασ το στομα λαλει
35The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
35ο αγαθοσ ανθρωποσ εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηροσ ανθρωποσ εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα
36I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
36λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο εαν λαλησωσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεωσ
37For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
37εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση
38Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
38τοτε απεκριθησαν τινεσ των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε θελομεν απο σου σημειον ιδειν
39But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
39ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλισ σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου
40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
40ωσπερ γαρ ην ιωνασ εν τη κοιλια του κητουσ τρεισ ημερασ και τρεισ νυκτασ ουτωσ εσται ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου εν τη καρδια τησ γησ τρεισ ημερασ και τρεισ νυκτασ
41The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
41ανδρεσ νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εισ το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
42The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
42βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινει αυτην οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων τησ γησ ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνοσ και ιδου πλειον σολομωνοσ ωδε
43“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
43οταν δε το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και ουχ ευρισκει
44Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
44τοτε λεγει επιστρεψω εισ τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον και ελθον ευρισκει σχολαζοντα σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
45Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
45τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει μεθ εαυτου επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων ουτωσ εσται και τη γενεα ταυτη τη πονηρα
46While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
46ετι δε αυτου λαλουντοσ τοισ οχλοισ ιδου η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ειστηκεισαν εξω ζητουντεσ αυτω λαλησαι
47One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
47ειπεν δε τισ αυτω ιδου η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εξω εστηκασιν ζητουντεσ σοι λαλησαι
48But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
48ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν τω ειποντι αυτω τισ εστιν η μητηρ μου και τινεσ εισιν οι αδελφοι μου
49He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
49και εκτεινασ την χειρα αυτου επι τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ειπεν ιδου η μητηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου
50For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
50οστισ γαρ αν ποιηση το θελημα του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ αυτοσ μου αδελφοσ και αδελφη και μητηρ εστιν
