Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
1και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ παλιν ειπεν αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγων
2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
2ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστισ εποιησεν γαμουσ τω υιω αυτου
3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
3και απεστειλεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου καλεσαι τουσ κεκλημενουσ εισ τουσ γαμουσ και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
4Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
4παλιν απεστειλεν αλλουσ δουλουσ λεγων ειπατε τοισ κεκλημενοισ ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εισ τουσ γαμουσ
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
5οι δε αμελησαντεσ απηλθον ο μεν εισ τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εισ την εμποριαν αυτου
6and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
6οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντεσ τουσ δουλουσ αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν
7When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
7και ακουσασ ο βασιλευσ εκεινοσ ωργισθη και πεμψασ τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τουσ φονεισ εκεινουσ και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν
8“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
8τοτε λεγει τοισ δουλοισ αυτου ο μεν γαμοσ ετοιμοσ εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι
9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
9πορευεσθε ουν επι τασ διεξοδουσ των οδων και οσουσ αν ευρητε καλεσατε εισ τουσ γαμουσ
10Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
10και εξελθοντεσ οι δουλοι εκεινοι εισ τασ οδουσ συνηγαγον παντασ οσουσ ευρον πονηρουσ τε και αγαθουσ και επλησθη ο γαμοσ ανακειμενων
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
11εισελθων δε ο βασιλευσ θεασασθαι τουσ ανακειμενουσ ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
12και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πωσ εισηλθεσ ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη
13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
13τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευσ τοισ διακονοισ δησαντεσ αυτου ποδασ και χειρασ αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εισ το σκοτοσ το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
14For many are called, but few chosen.”
14πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
15Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
15τοτε πορευθεντεσ οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπωσ αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω
16They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
16και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τουσ μαθητασ αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεισ και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενοσ ου γαρ βλεπεισ εισ προσωπον ανθρωπων
17Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
17ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
18γνουσ δε ο ιησουσ την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται
19Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
19επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον
20He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
20και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη
21They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
21λεγουσιν αυτω καισαροσ τοτε λεγει αυτοισ αποδοτε ουν τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
22When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
22και ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον
23On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
23εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντεσ μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον
24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
24λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε μωσησ ειπεν εαν τισ αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
25ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτοσ γαμησασ ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου
26In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
26ομοιωσ και ο δευτεροσ και ο τριτοσ εωσ των επτα
27After them all, the woman died.
27υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
28In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
28εν τη ουν αναστασει τινοσ των επτα εσται γυνη παντεσ γαρ εσχον αυτην
29But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
29αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
30εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ωσ αγγελοι του θεου εν ουρανω εισιν
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
31περι δε τησ αναστασεωσ των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντοσ
32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32εγω ειμι ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ θεοσ νεκρων αλλα ζωντων
33When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
33και ακουσαντεσ οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
34But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
34οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντεσ οτι εφιμωσεν τουσ σαδδουκαιουσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο
35One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
35και επηρωτησεν εισ εξ αυτων νομικοσ πειραζων αυτον και λεγων
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
36διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω
37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
37ο δε ιησουσ εφη αυτω αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη καρδια σου και εν ολη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
38This is the first and great commandment.
38αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη
39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
39δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
40The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
40εν ταυταισ ταισ δυσιν εντολαισ ολοσ ο νομοσ και οι προφηται κρεμανται
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
41συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο ιησουσ
42saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
42λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινοσ υιοσ εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαυιδ
43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
43λεγει αυτοισ πωσ ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
44ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
45“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
45ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πωσ υιοσ αυτου εστιν
46No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
46και ουδεισ εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τισ απ εκεινησ τησ ημερασ επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι
