Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
1εν εκεινη τη ωρα προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντεσ τισ αρα μειζων εστιν εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
2Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
2και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ο ιησουσ παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων
3and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
3και ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη στραφητε και γενησθε ωσ τα παιδια ου μη εισελθητε εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
4οστισ ουν ταπεινωσει εαυτον ωσ το παιδιον τουτο ουτοσ εστιν ο μειζων εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
5και οσ εαν δεξηται παιδιον τοιουτον εν επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται
6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
6οσ δ αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εισ εμε συμφερει αυτω ινα κρεμασθη μυλοσ ονικοσ εισ τον τραχηλον αυτου και καταποντισθη εν τω πελαγει τησ θαλασσησ
7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
7ουαι τω κοσμω απο των σκανδαλων αναγκη γαρ εστιν ελθειν τα σκανδαλα πλην ουαι τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου το σκανδαλον ερχεται
8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
8ει δε η χειρ σου η ο πουσ σου σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτα και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν εισελθειν εισ την ζωην χωλον η κυλλον η δυο χειρασ η δυο ποδασ εχοντα βληθηναι εισ το πυρ το αιωνιον
9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
9και ει ο οφθαλμοσ σου σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν μονοφθαλμον εισ την ζωην εισελθειν η δυο οφθαλμουσ εχοντα βληθηναι εισ την γεενναν του πυροσ
10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
10ορατε μη καταφρονησητε ενοσ των μικρων τουτων λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν ουρανοισ δια παντοσ βλεπουσιν το προσωπον του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
11ηλθεν γαρ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου σωσαι το απολωλοσ
12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
12τι υμιν δοκει εαν γενηται τινι ανθρωπω εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων ουχι αφεισ τα ενενηκοντα εννεα επι τα ορη πορευθεισ ζητει το πλανωμενον
13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
13και εαν γενηται ευρειν αυτο αμην λεγω υμιν οτι χαιρει επ αυτω μαλλον η επι τοισ ενενηκοντα εννεα τοισ μη πεπλανημενοισ
14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
14ουτωσ ουκ εστιν θελημα εμπροσθεν του πατροσ υμων του εν ουρανοισ ινα αποληται εισ των μικρων τουτων
15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
15εαν δε αμαρτηση εισ σε ο αδελφοσ σου υπαγε και ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου εαν σου ακουση εκερδησασ τον αδελφον σου
16But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
16εαν δε μη ακουση παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο ινα επι στοματοσ δυο μαρτυρων η τριων σταθη παν ρημα
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
17εαν δε παρακουση αυτων ειπε τη εκκλησια εαν δε και τησ εκκλησιασ παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικοσ και ο τελωνησ
18Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
18αμην λεγω υμιν οσα εαν δησητε επι τησ γησ εσται δεδεμενα εν τω ουρανω και οσα εαν λυσητε επι τησ γησ εσται λελυμενα εν τω ουρανω
19Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
19παλιν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εαν δυο υμων συμφωνησωσιν επι τησ γησ περι παντοσ πραγματοσ ου εαν αιτησωνται γενησεται αυτοισ παρα του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ
20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
20ου γαρ εισιν δυο η τρεισ συνηγμενοι εισ το εμον ονομα εκει ειμι εν μεσω αυτων
21Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
21τοτε προσελθων αυτω ο πετροσ ειπεν κυριε ποσακισ αμαρτησει εισ εμε ο αδελφοσ μου και αφησω αυτω εωσ επτακισ
22Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
22λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ου λεγω σοι εωσ επτακισ αλλ εωσ εβδομηκοντακισ επτα
23Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23δια τουτο ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οσ ηθελησεν συναραι λογον μετα των δουλων αυτου
24When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
24αρξαμενου δε αυτου συναιρειν προσηνεχθη αυτω εισ οφειλετησ μυριων ταλαντων
25But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
25μη εχοντοσ δε αυτου αποδουναι εκελευσεν αυτον ο κυριοσ αυτου πραθηναι και την γυναικα αυτου και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα ειχεν και αποδοθηναι
26The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
26πεσων ουν ο δουλοσ προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων κυριε μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και παντα σοι αποδωσω
27The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
27σπλαγχνισθεισ δε ο κυριοσ του δουλου εκεινου απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν αυτω
28“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
28εξελθων δε ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου οσ ωφειλεν αυτω εκατον δηναρια και κρατησασ αυτον επνιγεν λεγων αποδοσ μοι ει τι οφειλεισ
29“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
29πεσων ουν ο συνδουλοσ αυτου εισ τουσ ποδασ αυτου παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και αποδωσω σοι
30He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
30ο δε ουκ ηθελεν αλλα απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εισ φυλακην εωσ ου αποδω το οφειλομενον
31So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
31ιδοντεσ δε οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντεσ διεσαφησαν τω κυριω εαυτων παντα τα γενομενα
32Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
32τοτε προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτον ο κυριοσ αυτου λεγει αυτω δουλε πονηρε πασαν την οφειλην εκεινην αφηκα σοι επει παρεκαλεσασ με
33Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
33ουκ εδει και σε ελεησαι τον συνδουλον σου ωσ και εγω σε ηλεησα
34His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
34και οργισθεισ ο κυριοσ αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον τοισ βασανισταισ εωσ ου αποδω παν το οφειλομενον αυτω
35So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
35ουτωσ και ο πατηρ μου ο επουρανιοσ ποιησει υμιν εαν μη αφητε εκαστοσ τω αδελφω αυτου απο των καρδιων υμων τα παραπτωματα αυτων
