Matthew 22

Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους παλιν ειπε προς αυτους δια παραβολων, λεγων

And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον βασιλεα, οστις εκαμε γαμους εις τον υιον αυτου

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

και απεστειλε τους δουλους αυτου να καλεσωσι τους προσκεκλημενους εις τους γαμους, και δεν ηθελον να ελθωσι.

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

Παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους, λεγων Ειπατε προς τους προσκεκλημενους Ιδου, το γευμα μου ητοιμασα, οι ταυροι μου και τα θρεπτα ειναι εσφαγμενα και παντα ειναι ετοιμα ελθετε εις τους γαμους.

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

Εκεινοι ομως αμελησαντες απηλθον, ο μεν εις τον αγρον αυτου, ο δε εις το εμποριον αυτου

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

οι δε λοιποι πιασαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και εφονευσαν.

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

Ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς ωργισθη, και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσε τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων κατεκαυσε.

But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

Τοτε λεγει προς τους δουλους αυτου Ο μεν γαμος ειναι ετοιμος, οι δε προσκεκλημενοι δεν ησαν αξιοι

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

υπαγετε λοιπον εις τας διεξοδους των οδων, και οσους αν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους.

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους, συνηγαγον παντας οσους ευρον, κακους τε και καλους και εγεμισθη ο γαμος απο ανακεκλιμενων.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς δια να θεωρηση τους ανακεκλιμενους, ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον μη ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου,

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

και λεγει προς αυτον Φιλε, πως εισηλθες ενταυθα μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου; Ο δε απεστομωθη.

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τους υπηρετας Δεσαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας, σηκωσατε αυτον και ριψατε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Διοτι πολλοι ειναι οι κεκλημενοι, ολιγοι δε οι εκλεκτοι.

For many are called, but few are chosen.

Τοτε υπηγον οι Φαρισαιοι και συνεβουλευθησαν πως να παγιδευσωσιν αυτον εν λογω.

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

Και αποστελλουσι προς αυτον τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των Ηρωδιανων, λεγοντες Διδασκαλε, εξευρομεν οτι αληθης εισαι και την οδον του Θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις και δεν σε μελει περι ουδενος διοτι δεν βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

ειπε λοιπον προς ημας, Τι σοι φαινεται; ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να δωσωμεν δασμον εις τον Καισαρα η ουχι;

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

Γνωρισας δε ο Ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων, ειπε Τι με πειραζετε, υποκριται;

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

δειξατε μοι το νομισμα του δασμου οι δε εφεραν προς αυτον δηναριον.

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

Και λεγει προς αυτους Τινος ειναι η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη;

And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

Λεγουσι προς αυτον Του Καισαρος. Τοτε λεγει προς αυτους Αποδοτε λοιπον τα του Καισαρος εις τον Καισαρα και τα του Θεου εις τον Θεον.

They say unto him, Cæsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν, και αφησαντες αυτον ανεχωρησαν.

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

Εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον προς αυτον Σαδδουκαιοι, οι λεγοντες οτι δεν ειναι αναστασις, και ηρωτησαν αυτον, λεγοντες

The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

Διδασκαλε, ο Μωυσης ειπεν, Εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα, θελει νυμφευθη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και θελει αναστησει σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου.

Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος αφου ενυμφευθη ετελευτησε, και μη εχων τεκνον, αφηκε την γυναικα αυτου εις τον αδελφον αυτου

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

ομοιως και ο δευτερος, και ο τριτος, εως των επτα.

Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

Υστερον δε παντων απεθανε και η γυνη.

And last of all the woman died also.

Εν τη αναστασει λοιπον τινος των επτα θελει εισθαι γυνη; διοτι παντες ελαβον αυτην.

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους Πλανασθε μη γνωριζοντες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του Θεου.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Διοτι εν τη αναστασει ουτε νυμφευονται ουτε νυμφευουσιν, αλλ ειναι ως αγγελοι του Θεου εν ουρανω.

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων δεν ανεγνωσατε το ρηθεν προς εσας υπο του Θεου, λεγοντος

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

Εγω ειμαι ο Θεος του Αβρααμ και ο Θεος του Ισαακ και ο Θεος του Ιακωβ; δεν ειναι ο Θεος νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων.

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.

Και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι, εξεπληττοντο δια την διδαχην αυτου.

And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Οι δε Φαρισαιοι, ακουσαντες οτι απεστομωσε τους Σαδδουκαιους, συνηχθησαν ομου.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

Και εις εξ αυτων, νομικος, ηρωτησε πειραζων αυτον και λεγων

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

Διδασκαλε, ποια εντολη ειναι μεγαλη εν τω νομω;

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον Θελεις αγαπα Κυριον τον Θεον σου εξ ολης της καρδιας σου και εξ ολης της ψυχης σου και εξ ολης της διανοιας σου.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Αυτη ειναι πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη.

This is the first and great commandment.

Δευτερα δε ομοια αυτης Θελεις αγαπα τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Εν ταυταις ταις δυο εντολαις ολος ο νομος και οι προφηται κρεμανται.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Και ενω ησαν συνηγμενοι οι Φαρισαιοι, ηρωτησεν αυτους ο Ιησους,

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

λεγων Τι σας φαινεται περι του Χριστου; τινος υιος ειναι; Λεγουσι προς αυτον Του Δαβιδ.

Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

Λεγει προς αυτους Πως λοιπον ο Δαβιδ δια Πνευματος ονομαζει αυτον Κυριον, λεγων,

He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

Ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Κυριον μου, Καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου;

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Εαν λοιπον ο Δαβιδ ονομαζη αυτον Κυριον, πως ειναι υιος αυτου;

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Και ουδεις ηδυνατο να αποκριθη προς αυτον λογον ουδ ετολμησε τις απ εκεινης της ημερας να ερωτηση πλεον αυτον.

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
