Luke 20

Και εν μια των ημερων εκεινων, ενω αυτος εδιδασκε τον λαον εν τω ιερω, και ευηγγελιζετο, ηλθον εξαιφνης οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις μετα των πρεσβυτερων

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

και ειπον προς αυτον, λεγοντες Ειπε προς ημας εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα, η τις ειναι οστις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην;

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

Αποκριθεις δε ειπε προς αυτους Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, και ειπατε μοι

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ητο η εξ ανθρωπων;

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

Οι δε εσυλλογισθησαν καθ εαυτους λεγοντες, οτι Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει, Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον;

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

Εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, πας ο λαος θελει μας λιθοβολησει επειδη ειναι πεπεισμενοι οτι ο Ιωαννης ειναι προφητης.

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

Και απεκριθησαν οτι δεν εξευρουσι ποθεν ητο.

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους Ουδε εγω σας λεγω εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Ηρχισε δε να λεγη προς τον λαον την παραβολην ταυτην Ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα, και εμισθωσεν αυτον εις γεωργους, και απεδημησε πολυν καιρον.

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Και εν τω καιρω των καρπων απεστειλε προς τους γεωργους δουλον δια να δωσωσιν εις αυτον απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος οι γεωργοι ομως δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Και παλιν επεμψεν αλλον δουλον. Πλην αυτοι δειραντες και εκεινον και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Και παλιν επεμψε τριτον. Αλλ εκεινοι και τουτον πληγωσαντες απεδιωξαν.

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Ειπε δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος Τι να καμω; ας πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον ισως ιδοντες τουτον θελουσιν εντραπει.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

Πλην ιδοντες αυτον οι γεωργοι, διελογιζοντο καθ εαυτους λεγοντες Ουτος ειναι ο κληρονομος ελθετε ας φονευσωμεν αυτον, δια να γεινη ημων η κληρονομια.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος, εφονευσαν Τι λοιπον θελει καμει εις αυτους ο κυριος του αμπελωνος;

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

Θελει ελθει και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους, και θελει δωσει τον αμπελωνα εις αλλους. Ακουσαντες δε ειπον Μη γενοιτο.

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

Ο δε εμβλεψας εις αυτους ειπε Τι λοιπον ειναι τουτο το γεγραμμενον, Ο λιθος, τον οποιον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας;

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Πας οστις πεση επι τον λιθον εκεινον θελει συντριφθη εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον.

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις να βαλωσιν επ αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα, πλην εφοβηθησαν τον λαον διοτι ηνοησαν οτι προς αυτους ειπε την παραβολην ταυτην.

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Και παραφυλαξαντες απεστειλαν ενεδρευτας, υποκρινομενους οτι ειναι δικαιοι, επι σκοπω να πιασωσιν αυτον απο λογου, δια να παραδωσωσιν αυτον εις την αρχην και εις την εξουσιαν του ηγεμονος.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

Και ηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες Διδασκαλε, εξευρομεν οτι ορθως ομιλεις και διδασκεις και δεν βλεπεις εις προσωπον, αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του Θεου διδασκεις

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

ειναι συγκεχωρημενον εις ημας να δωσωμεν φορον εις τον Καισαρα η ουχι;

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?

Εννοησας δε την πανουργιαν αυτων, ειπε προς αυτους Τι με πειραζετε;

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

δειξατε μοι δηναριον τινος εικονα εχει και επιγραφην; Και αποκριθεντες ειπον Του Καισαρος.

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar's.

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους Αποδοτε λοιπον τα του Καισαρος εις τον Καισαρα και τα του Θεου εις τον Θεον.

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

Και δεν ηδυνηθησαν να πιασωσιν αυτον απο λογου εμπροσθεν του λαου, και θαυμασαντες δια την αποκρισιν αυτου εσιωπησαν.

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

Προσελθοντες δε τινες των Σαδδουκαιων, οιτινες αρνουνται οτι ειναι αναστασις, ηρωτησαν αυτον,

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

λεγοντες Διδασκαλε, ο Μωυσης μας εγραψεν Εαν τινος ο αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα, και ουτος αποθανη ατεκνος, να λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα και να εξαναστηση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου.

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Ησαν λοιπον επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα, απεθανεν ατεκνος

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα, και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα και δεν αφηκαν τεκνα, και απεθανον.

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Υστερον δε παντων απεθανε και η γυνη.

Last of all the woman died also.

Εν τη αναστασει λοιπον τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη; διοτι και οι επτα ελαβον αυτην γυναικα.

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

Και ο Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου νυμφευουσι και νυμφευονται

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

οι δε καταξιωθεντες να απολαυσωσιν εκεινον τον αιωνα και την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν ουτε νυμφευουσιν ουτε νυμφευονται

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

διοτι ουτε να αποθανωσι πλεον δυνανται επειδη ειναι ισαγγελοι και ειναι υιοι του Θεου, οντες υιοι της αναστασεως.

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι, και ο Μωυσης εφανερωσεν επι της βατου, οτε λεγει Κυριον τον Θεον του Αβρααμ και τον Θεον του Ισαακ και τον Θεον του Ιακωβ.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Ο δε Θεος δεν ειναι νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων διοτι παντες ζωσι εν αυτω.

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον Διδασκαλε, καλως ειπας.

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

Και δεν ετολμων πλεον να ερωτωσιν αυτον ουδεν.

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

Ειπε δε προς αυτους Πως λεγουσι τον Χριστον οτι ειναι υιος του Δαβιδ;

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

Και αυτος ο Δαβιδ λεγει εν τη βιβλω των ψαλμων Ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Κυριον μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου,

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου.

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Ο Δαβιδ λοιπον ονομαζει αυτον Κυριον και πως ειναι υιος αυτου;

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

Και ενω ηκουε πας ο λαος, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

Προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων, οιτινες θελουσι να περιπατωσιν εστολισμενοι και αγαπωσιν ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους πρωτους τοπους εν τοις δειπνοις,

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

οιτινες κατατρωγουσι τας οικιας των χηρων, και τουτο επι προφασει οτι καμνουσι μακρας προσευχας ουτοι θελουσι λαβει μεγαλητεραν καταδικην.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
