New Testament

Luke 8

1Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,

και εγενετο εν τω καθεξης και αυτος διωδευεν κατα πολιν και κωμην κηρυσσων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου, και οι δωδεκα συν αυτω,

2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,

και γυναικες τινες αι ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο [νοσων και μαστιγων και] πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων, μαρια η καλουμενη μαγδαληνη, αφ ης δαιμονια επτα εξεληλυθει,

3and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.

και ιωαννα γυνη χουζα επιτροπου ηρωδου, και σουσαννα και ετεραι πολλαι, αιτινες διηκονουν αυτω απο των υπαρχοντων αυταις.

4And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

συνιοντος δε οχλου πολλου και των κατα πολιν επιπορευομενων προς αυτον ειπεν δια παραβολης·

5'A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι τον σπορον αυτου. και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον, και κατεπατηθη, και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγεν αυτο·

6Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

και ετερον επεσεν επι την πετραν, και φυεν εξηρανθη δια το μη εχειν ικμαδα·

7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

και ετερον επεσεν εν μεσω των ακανθων, και συμφυεισαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο·

8But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.' When He had said these things He cried, 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'

και ετερον επεσεν εις την γην την αγαθην, και φυεν εποιησεν καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα. ταυτα λεγων εφωνει· ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.

9Then His disciples asked Him, saying, 'What does this parable mean?'

επηρωτων δε αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες· τις ειη η παραβολη αυτη.

10And He said, 'To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'

ο δε ειπεν· υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου, τοις δε λοιποις εν παραβολαις, ινα βλεποντες μη βλεπωσιν και ακουοντες μη συνιωσιν.

11'Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

εστιν δε αυτη η παραβολη· ο σπορος εστιν ο λογος του θεου·

12Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

οι δε παρα την οδον εισιν οι ακουσαντες, ειτα ερχεται ο διαβολος και αιρει τον λογον απο της καρδιας αυτων, ινα μη πιστευσαντες σωθωσιν.

13But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

οι δε επι της πετρας οι οταν ακουσωσιν, μετα χαρας δεχονται τον λογον, και ουτοι ριζαν ουκ εχουσιν, οι προς καιρον πιστευουσιν και εν καιρω πειρασμου αφιστανται.

14Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

το δε εις τας ακανθας πεσον, ουτοι εισιν οι ακουσαντες, και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου πορευομενοι συμπνιγονται και ου τελεσφορουσιν.

15But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

το δε εν τη καλη γη, ουτοι εισιν οιτινες εν καρδια καλη και αγαθη ακουσαντες τον λογον κατεχουσιν και καρποφορουσιν εν υπομονη.

16'No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.

ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας καλυπτει αυτον σκευει η υποκατω κλινης τιθησιν, αλλ επι λυχνιας επιτιθησιν, ινα οι εισπορευομενοι βλεπωσιν το φως.

17For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο ου φανερον γενησεται, ουδε αποκρυφον ο ου γνωσθησεται και εις φανερον ελθη.

18Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.'

βλεπετε ουν πως ακουετε· ος γαρ εαν εχη, δοθησεται αυτω, και ος εαν μη εχη, και ο δοκει εχειν αρθησεται απ αυτου.

19Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.

παρεγενοντο δε προς αυτον η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου, και ουκ ηδυναντο συντυχειν αυτω δια τον οχλον.

20And it was told Him by some, who said, 'Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.'

και απηγγελη αυτω λεγοντων· η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εστηκασιν εξω ιδειν σε θελοντες.

21But He answered and said to them, 'My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.'

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν προς αυτους· μητηρ μου και αδελφοι μου ουτοι εισιν οι τον λογον του θεου ακουοντες και ποιουντες αυτον.

22Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, 'Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.' And they launched out.

και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων και αυτος ενεβη εις πλοιον και οι μαθηται αυτου, και ειπεν προς αυτους· διελθωμεν εις το περαν της λιμνης· και ανηχθησαν.

23But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.

πλεοντων δε αυτων αφυπνωσεν. και κατεβη λαιλαψ ανεμου εις την λιμνην, και συνεπληρουντο και εκινδυνευον.

24And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, 'Master, Master, we are perishing!'

προσελθοντες δε διηγειραν αυτον λεγοντες· επιστατα επιστατα, απολλυμεθα! ο δε εγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και τω κλυδωνι του υδατος, και επαυσαντο, και εγενετο γαληνη.

25Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, 'Where is your faith?'

ειπεν δε αυτοις· που εστιν η πιστις υμων; φοβηθεντες δε εθαυμασαν λεγοντες προς αλληλους· τις αρα ουτος εστιν, οτι και τοις ανεμοις επιτασσει και τω υδατι, και υπακουουσιν αυτω;

26And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, 'Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!' Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

και κατεπλευσεν εις την χωραν των γαδαρηνων, ητις εστιν αντιπερα της γαλιλαιας.

27And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.

εξελθοντι δε αυτω επι την γην υπηντησεν αυτω ανηρ τις εκ της πολεως, ος ειχεν δαιμονια εκ χρονων ικανων, και ιματιον ουκ ενεδιδυσκετο και εν οικια ουκ εμενεν, αλλ εν τοις μνημασιν.

28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, 'What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!'

ιδων δε τον ιησουν και ανακραξας προσεπεσεν αυτω και φωνη μεγαλη ειπεν· τι εμοι και σοι, ιησου, υιε του θεου του υψιστου; δεομαι σου, μη με βασανισης.

29For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

παρηγγειλεν γαρ τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω εξελθειν απο του ανθρωπου. πολλοις γαρ χρονοις συνηρπακει αυτον, και εδεσμειτο αλυσεσιν και πεδαις φυλασσομενος, και διαρρησσων τα δεσμα ηλαυνετο υπο του δαιμονος εις τας ερημους.

30Jesus asked him, saying, 'What is your name?'

επηρωτησεν δε αυτον ο ιησους λεγων· τι σοι εστιν ονομα; ο δε ειπεν· λεγεων· οτι δαιμονια πολλα εισηλθεν εις αυτον·

31And he said, 'Legion,' because many demons had entered him. And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.

και παρεκαλει αυτον ινα μη επιταξη αυτοις εις την αβυσσον απελθειν.

32Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.

ην δε εκει αγελη χοιρων ικανων βοσκομενων εν τω ορει· και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα επιτρεψη αυτοις εις εκεινους εισελθειν· και επετρεψεν αυτοις.

33Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.

εξελθοντα δε τα δαιμονια απο του ανθρωπου εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους, και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την λιμνην και απεπνιγη.

34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.

ιδοντες δε οι βοσκοντες το γεγενημενον εφυγον, και απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους.

35Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

εξηλθον δε ιδειν το γεγονος, και ηλθον προς τον ιησουν και ευρον καθημενον τον ανθρωπον, αφ ου τα δαιμονια εξεληλυθει, ιματισμενον και σωφρονουντα παρα τους ποδας του ιησου, και εφοβηθησαν.

36They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

απηγγειλαν δε αυτοις οι ιδοντες πως εσωθη ο δαιμονισθεις.

37Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

και ηρωτησαν αυτον απαν το πληθος της περιχωρου των γαδαρηνων απελθειν απ αυτων, οτι φοβω μεγαλω συνειχοντο. αυτος δε εμβας εις το πλοιον υπεστρεψεν.

38Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

εδεετο δε αυτου ο ανηρ, αφ ου εξεληλυθει τα δαιμονια, ειναι συν αυτω· απελυσεν δε αυτον ο ιησους λεγων·

39'Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.' And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

υποστρεφε εις τον οικον σου και διηγου οσα εποιησεν σοι ο θεος. και απηλθεν καθ ολην την πολιν κηρυσσων οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο ιησους.

40So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

εγενετο δε εν τω υποστρεψαι τον ιησουν απεδεξατο αυτον ο οχλος· ησαν γαρ παντες προσδοκωντες αυτον.

41And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,

και ιδου ηλθεν ανηρ ω ονομα ιαειρος, και αυτος αρχων της συναγωγης υπηρχεν· και πεσων παρα τους ποδας του ιησου παρεκαλει αυτον εισελθειν εις τον οικον αυτου,

42for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

οτι θυγατηρ μονογενης ην αυτω ως ετων δωδεκα, και αυτη απεθνησκεν. εν δε τω υπαγειν αυτον οι οχλοι συνεπνιγον αυτον.

43But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

και γυνη ουσα εν ρυσει αιματος απο ετων δωδεκα, ητις ιατροις προσαναλωσασα ολον τον βιον ουκ ισχυσεν υπ ουδενος θεραπευθηναι,

44came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου, και παραχρημα εστη η ρυσις του αιματος αυτης.

45And Jesus said, 'Who touched Me?'

και ειπεν ο ιησους· τις ο αψαμενος μου; αρνουμενων δε παντων ειπεν ο πετρος και οι συν αυτω· επιστατα, οι οχλοι συνεχουσιν σε και αποθλιβουσιν, και λεγεις τις ο αψαμενος μου;

46When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?' 'But Jesus said, 'Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.'

ο δε ιησους ειπεν· ηψατο μου τις· εγω γαρ εγνων δυναμιν εξελθουσαν απ εμου.

47Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι ουκ ελαθεν, τρεμουσα ηλθεν και προσπεσουσα αυτω δι ην αιτιαν ηψατο αυτου απηγγειλεν αυτω ενωπιον παντος του λαου, και ως ιαθη παραχρημα.

48And He said to her, 'Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.'

ο δε ειπεν αυτη· θαρσει, θυγατερ, η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε· πορευου εις ειρηνην.

49While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, 'Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.'

ετι αυτου λαλουντος ερχεται τις παρα του αρχισυναγωγου λεγων αυτω οτι τεθνηκεν η θυγατηρ σου· μη σκυλλε τον διδασκαλον.

50But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, 'Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.'

ο δε ιησους ακουσας απεκριθη αυτω λεγων· μη φοβου· μονον πιστευε, και σωθησεται.

51When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

ελθων δε εις την οικιαν ουκ αφηκεν εισελθειν ουδενα ει μη πετρον και ιωαννην και ιακωβον και τον πατερα της παιδος και την μητερα.

52Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, 'Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.'

εκλαιον δε παντες και εκοπτοντο αυτην. ο δε ειπεν· μη κλαιετε· ουκ απεθανεν, αλλα καθευδει.

53And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

και κατεγελων αυτου, ειδοτες οτι απεθανεν.

54But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, 'Little girl, arise.'

αυτος δε εκβαλων εξω παντας και κρατησας της χειρος αυτης εφωνησεν λεγων· η παις, εγειρου.

55Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

και επεστρεψεν το πνευμα αυτης, και ανεστη παραχρημα, και διεταξεν αυτη δοθηναι φαγειν.

56And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

και εξεστησαν οι γονεις αυτης. ο δε παρηγγειλεν αυτοις μηδενι ειπειν το γεγονος.
