Luke 20

1Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him

και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων εκεινων διδασκοντος αυτου τον λαον εν τω ιερω και ευαγγελιζομενου επεστησαν οι ιερεις και οι γραμματεις συν τοις πρεσβυτεροις

2and spoke to Him, saying, 'Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?'

και ειπον προς αυτον λεγοντες· ειπε ημιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις, η τις εστιν ο δους σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην;

3But He answered and said to them, 'I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me:

αποκριθεις δε ειπεν προς αυτους· ερωτησω υμας καγω ενα λογον, και ειπατε μοι·

4The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?'

το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων;

5And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν, εξ ουρανου, ερει, διατι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω;

6But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.'

εαν δε ειπωμεν, εξ ανθρωπων, πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας· πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι.

7So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν.

8And Jesus said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω.

9Then He began to tell the people this parable: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην· ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα, και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους.

10Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

και εν τω καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσουσιν αυτω· οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον.

11Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

και προσεθετο αυτοις πεμψαι ετερον δουλον. οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον.

12And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.

και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον. οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον.

13'Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.'

ειπεν δε ο κυριος του αμπελωνος· τι ποιησω; πεμψω τον υιον μου τον αγαπητον· ισως τουτον ιδοντες εντραπησονται.

14But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

ιδοντες δε αυτον οι γεωργοι διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες· ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος· δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον, ινα ημων γενηται η κληρονομια.

15So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

και εκβαλοντες αυτον εξω του αμπελωνος απεκτειναν. τι ουν ποιησει αυτοις ο κυριος του αμπελωνος;

16He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.'

ελευσεται και απολεσει τους γεωργους τουτους, και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοις. ακουσαντες δε ειπον· μη γενοιτο.

17And when they heard it they said, 'Certainly not!' Then He looked at them and said, 'What then is this that is written: 'The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone'?

ο δε εμβλεψας αυτοις ειπεν· τι ουν εστιν το γεγραμμενον τουτο, λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας;

18Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.'

πας ο πεσων επ εκεινον τον λιθον συνθλασθησεται· εφ ον δ αν πεση, λικμησει αυτον.

19And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people—for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.

και εζητησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις επιβαλειν επ αυτον τας χειρας εν αυτη τη ωρα, και εφοβηθησαν τον λαον· εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προς αυτους τας παραβολας ελεγεν.

20So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.

και παρατηρησαντες απεστειλαν εγκαθετους, υποκρινομενους εαυτους δικαιους ειναι, ινα επιλαβωνται αυτου λογου εις το παραδουναι αυτον τη αρχη και τη εξουσια του ηγεμονος.

21Then they asked Him, saying, 'Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:

και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες· διδασκαλε, οιδαμεν οτι ορθως λεγεις και διδασκεις, και ου λαμβανεις προσωπον, αλλ επ αληθειας την οδον του θεου διδασκεις·

22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?'

εξεστιν ημιν καισαρι φορον δουναι η ου;

23But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, 'Why do you test Me?

κατανοησας δε αυτων την πανουργιαν ειπεν προς αυτους· τι με πειραζετε;

24Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?'

δειξατε μοι δηναριον· τινος εχει εικονα και επιγραφην; αποκριθεντες δε ειπον· καισαρος.

25They answered and said, 'Caesar's.' And He said to them, 'Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'

ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· αποδοτε τοινυν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω.

26But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.

και ουκ ισχυσαν επιλαβεσθαι αυτου ρηματος εναντιον του λαου, και θαυμασαντες επι τη αποκρισει αυτου εσιγησαν.

27Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

προσελθοντες δε τινες των σαδδουκαιων, οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν, επηρωτησαν αυτον

28saying: 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

λεγοντες· διδασκαλε, μωυσης εγραψεν ημιν, εαν τινος αδελφος αποθανη εχων γυναικα, και ουτος ατεκνος αποθανη, ινα λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου.

29Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.

επτα ουν αδελφοι ησαν· και ο πρωτος λαβων γυναικα απεθανεν ατεκνος·

30And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.

και ελαβεν ο δευτερος την γυναικα, και ουτος απεθανεν ατεκνος·

31Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.

και ο τριτος ελαβεν αυτην ωσαυτως· ωσαυτως δε και οι επτα· ου κατελιπον τεκνα, και απεθανον·

32Last of all the woman died also.

υστερον δε παντων και η γυνη απεθανεν.

33Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.'

εν τη αναστασει ουν τινος αυτων γινεται γυνη; οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα.

34Jesus answered and said to them, 'The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους· οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου γαμουσιν και εκγαμιζονται·

35But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

οι δε καταξιωθεντες του αιωνος εκεινου τυχειν και της αναστασεως της εκ νεκρων ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμιζονται·

36nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

ουτε γαρ αποθανειν ετι δυνανται· ισαγγελοι γαρ εισιν και υιοι εισιν του θεου, της αναστασεως υιοι οντες.

37But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

οτι δε εγειρονται οι νεκροι, και μωυσης εμηνυσεν επι της βατου, ως λεγει κυριον τον θεον αβρααμ και τον θεον ισαακ και τον θεον ιακωβ.

38For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.'

θεος δε ουκ εστιν νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων· παντες γαρ αυτω ζωσιν.

39Then some of the scribes answered and said, 'Teacher, You have spoken well.'

αποκριθεντες δε τινες των γραμματεων ειπον· διδασκαλε, καλως ειπας.

40But after that they dared not question Him anymore.

ουκετι δε ετολμων επερωταν αυτον ουδεν.

41And He said to them, 'How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David?

ειπεν δε προς αυτους· πως λεγουσιν τον χριστον υιον δαυιδ ειναι;

42Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand,

και αυτος δαυιδ λεγει εν βιβλω των ψαλμων· ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου

43Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.' '

εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου.

44Therefore David calls Him 'Lord'; how is He then his Son?'

δαυιδ ουν αυτον κυριον καλει· και πως υιος αυτου εστιν;

45Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,

ακουοντος δε παντος του λαου ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου·

46'Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων περιπατειν εν στολαις και φιλουντων ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και πρωτοκλισιας εν τοις δειπνοις,

47who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.'

οι κατεσθιουσιν τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχονται· ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα.
