Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
1ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστισ εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατασ εισ τον αμπελωνα αυτου
2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
2και συμφωνησασ μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ τον αμπελωνα αυτου
3He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
3και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλουσ εστωτασ εν τη αγορα αργουσ
4He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
4και εκεινοισ ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν
5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
5οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτωσ
6About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
6περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλουσ εστωτασ αργουσ και λεγει αυτοισ τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι
7“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
7λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεισ ημασ εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοισ υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8“When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
8οψιασ δε γενομενησ λεγει ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τω επιτροπω αυτου καλεσον τουσ εργατασ και αποδοσ αυτοισ τον μισθον αρξαμενοσ απο των εσχατων εωσ των πρωτων
9“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
9και ελθοντεσ οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
10ελθοντεσ δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
11λαβοντεσ δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
12λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοι οι εσχατοι μιαν ωραν εποιησαν και ισουσ ημιν αυτουσ εποιησασ τοισ βαστασασιν το βαροσ τησ ημερασ και τον καυσωνα
13“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
13ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησασ μοι
14Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
14αρον το σον και υπαγε θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ωσ και σοι
15Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
15η ουκ εξεστιν μοι ποιησαι ο θελω εν τοισ εμοισ ει ο οφθαλμοσ σου πονηροσ εστιν οτι εγω αγαθοσ ειμι
16So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
16ουτωσ εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
17As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
17και αναβαινων ο ιησουσ εισ ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τουσ δωδεκα μαθητασ κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοισ
18“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
18ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοισ αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω
19and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
19και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται
20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
20τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτησ προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
21He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
21ο δε ειπεν αυτη τι θελεισ λεγει αυτω ειπε ινα καθισωσιν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι μου εισ εκ δεξιων σου και εισ εξ ευωνυμων σου εν τη βασιλεια σου
22But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
22αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω μελλω πινειν η το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι λεγουσιν αυτω δυναμεθα
23He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
23και λεγει αυτοισ το μεν ποτηριον μου πιεσθε και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων μου ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οισ ητοιμασται υπο του πατροσ μου
24When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
24και ακουσαντεσ οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
25ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτουσ ειπεν οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντεσ των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων
26It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
26ουχ ουτωσ δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγασ γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονοσ
27Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
27και οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτοσ εστω υμων δουλοσ
28even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
28ωσπερ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων
29As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
29και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ
30Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
30και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον ακουσαντεσ οτι ιησουσ παραγει εκραξαν λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
31The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
31ο δε οχλοσ επετιμησεν αυτοισ ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
32Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
32και στασ ο ιησουσ εφωνησεν αυτουσ και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν
33They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
33λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι
34Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
34σπλαγχνισθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεωσ ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
