Matthew 11

1Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησους διατασσων τοις δωδεκα μαθηταις αυτου μετεβη εκειθεν του διδασκειν και κηρυσσειν εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων.

2And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

ο δε ιωαννης ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του χριστου, πεμψας δυο των μαθητων αυτου

3and said to Him, 'Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?'

ειπεν αυτω· συ ει ο ερχομενος η ετερον προσδοκωμεν;

4Jesus answered and said to them, 'Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· πορευθεντες απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ακουετε και βλεπετε·

5The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν και χωλοι περιπατουσιν, λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν, νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται·

6And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.'

και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι.

7As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: 'What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

τουτων δε πορευομενων ηρξατο ο ιησους λεγειν τοις οχλοις περι ιωαννου· τι εξηλθετε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι; καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον;

8But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

αλλα τι εξηλθετε ιδειν; ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ιματιοις ημφιεσμενον; ιδου οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων εισιν.

9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

αλλα τι εξηλθετε ιδειν; προφητην; ναι λεγω υμιν, και περισσοτερον προφητου.

10For this is he of whom it is written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

ουτος γαρ εστιν περι ου γεγραπται· ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου, ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου.

11'Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

αμην λεγω υμιν, ουκ εγηγερται εν γεννητοις γυναικων μειζων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου· ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων μειζων αυτου εστιν.

12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

απο δε των ημερων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως αρτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται, και βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην.

13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

παντες γαρ οι προφηται και ο νομος εως ιωαννου προεφητευσαν·

14And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.

και ει θελετε δεξασθαι, αυτος εστιν ηλιας ο μελλων ερχεσθαι.

15He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.

16'But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

τινι δε ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην; ομοια εστιν παιδιοις καθημενοις εν αγοραις, α προσφωνουντα τοις εταιροις αυτων

17and saying: 'We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.'

λεγουσιν· ηυλησαμεν υμιν, και ουκ ωρχησασθε, εθρηνησαμεν υμιν, και ουκ εκοψασθε.

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'

ηλθεν γαρ ιωαννης μητε εσθιων μητε πινων, και λεγουσιν· δαιμονιον εχει.

19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.'

ηλθεν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων, και λεγουσιν· ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης, τελωνων φιλος και αμαρτωλων. και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτης!

20Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:

τοτε ηρξατο ονειδιζειν τας πολεις εν αις εγενοντο αι πλεισται δυναμεις αυτου, οτι ου μετενοησαν·

21'Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

ουαι σοι, χοραζιν, ουαι σοι, βηθσαιδα· οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενηθησαν αι δυναμεις αι γενομεναι εν υμιν, παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω καθημεναι μετενοησαν.

22But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

πλην λεγω υμιν, τυρω και σιδωνι ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεως η υμιν.

23And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

και συ καπερναουμ, η εως του ουρανου υψωθεισα, εως αδου καταβιβασθηση· οτι ει εν σοδομοις εγενηθησαν αι δυναμεις αι γενομεναι εν σοι, εμειναν αν μεχρι [της] σημερον.

24But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.'

πλην λεγω υμιν οτι γη σοδομων ανεκτοτερον εσται εν ημερα κρισεως η σοι.

25At that time Jesus answered and said, 'I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν· εξομολογουμαι σοι, πατερ, κυριε του ουρανου και της γης, οτι απεκρυψας ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων, και απεκαλυψας αυτα νηπιοις·

26Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

ναι, ο πατηρ, οτι ουτως εγενετο ευδοκια εμπροσθεν σου.

27All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατρος μου· και ουδεις επιγινωσκει τον υιον ει μη ο πατηρ, ουδε τον πατερα τις επιγινωσκει ει μη ο υιος και ω εαν βουληται ο υιος αποκαλυψαι.

28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

δευτε προς με παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι, καγω αναπαυσω υμας.

29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ υμας και μαθετε απ εμου, οτι πραος ειμι και ταπεινος τη καρδια, και ευρησετε αναπαυσιν ταις ψυχαις υμων·

30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.'

ο γαρ ζυγος μου χρηστος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον εστιν.
