Matthew 12

1At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

εν εκεινω τω καιρω επορευθη ο ιησους τοις σαββασιν δια των σποριμων· οι δε μαθηται αυτου επεινασαν, και ηρξαντο τιλλειν σταχυας και εσθιειν.

2And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, 'Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!'

οι δε φαρισαιοι ιδοντες ειπον αυτω· ιδου οι μαθηται σου ποιουσιν ο ουκ εξεστιν ποιειν εν σαββατω.

3But He said to them, 'Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· ουκ ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν δαυιδ οτε επεινασεν αυτος και οι μετ αυτου;

4how he entered the house of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

πως εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου και τους αρτους της προθεσεως εφαγεν, ους ουκ εξον ην αυτω φαγειν ουδε τοις μετ αυτου, ει μη μονοις τοις ιερευσιν;

5Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

η ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τω νομω οτι τοις σαββασιν οι ιερεις εν τω ιερω το σαββατον βεβηλουσιν, και αναιτιοι εισιν;

6Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.

λεγω δε υμιν οτι του ιερου μειζον εστιν ωδε.

7But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

ει δε εγνωκειτε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν, ουκ αν κατεδικασατε τους αναιτιους.

8For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.'

κυριος γαρ εστιν ο υιος του ανθρωπου και του σαββατου.

9Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

και μεταβας εκειθεν ηλθεν εις την συναγωγην αυτων.

10And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?'—that they might accuse Him.

και ιδου ανθρωπος ην εκει την χειρα εχων ξηραν· και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες· ει εξεστιν τοις σαββασιν θεραπευειν; ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου.

11Then He said to them, 'What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· τις εσται εξ υμων ανθρωπος ος εξει προβατον εν, και εαν εμπεση τουτο τοις σαββασιν εις βοθυνον, ουχι κρατησει αυτο και εγερει;

12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.'

ποσω ουν διαφερει ανθρωπος προβατου; ωστε εξεστιν τοις σαββασιν καλως ποιειν.

13Then He said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

τοτε λεγει τω ανθρωπω· εκτεινον σου την χειρα· και εξετεινεν, και αποκατεσταθη υγιης ως η αλλη.

14Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

εξελθοντες δε οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον κατ αυτου, οπως αυτον απολεσωσιν.

15But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

ο δε ιησους γνους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν· και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους παντας,

16Yet He warned them not to make Him known,

και επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα μη φανερον ποιησωσιν αυτον,

17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

οπως πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντος·

18'Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!

ιδου ο παις μου, ον ηρετισα, ο αγαπητος μου, εις ον ευδοκησεν η ψυχη μου· θησω το πνευμα μου επ αυτον, και κρισιν τοις εθνεσιν απαγγελει·

19I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will declare justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

ουκ ερισει ουδε κραυγασει, ουδε ακουσει τις εν ταις πλατειαις την φωνην αυτου.

20A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory;

καλαμον συντετριμμενον ου κατεαξει και λινον τυφομενον ου σβεσει, εως αν εκβαλη εις νικος την κρισιν·

21And in His name Gentiles will trust.'

και τω ονοματι αυτου εθνη ελπιουσιν.

22Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω δαιμονιζομενος τυφλος και κωφος, και εθεραπευσεν αυτον, ωστε τον τυφλον και κωφον και λαλειν και βλεπειν·

23And all the multitudes were amazed and said, 'Could this be the Son of David?'

και εξισταντο παντες οι οχλοι και ελεγον· μητι ουτος εστιν ο χριστος ο υιος δαυιδ;

24Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, 'This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.'

οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες ειπον· ουτος ουκ εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια ει μη εν [τω] βεελζεβουλ, αρχοντι των δαιμονιων.

25But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

ειδως δε ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν αυτοις· πασα βασιλεια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτην ερημουται, και πασα πολις η οικια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτην ου σταθησεται.

26If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

και ει ο σατανας τον σαταναν εκβαλλει, εφ εαυτον εμερισθη· πως ουν σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου;

27And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

και ει εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλουσιν; δια τουτο αυτοι κριται εσονται υμων.

28But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

ει δε εγω εν πνευματι θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου.

29Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

η πως δυναται τις εισελθειν εις την οικιαν του ισχυρου και τα σκευη αυτου αρπασαι, εαν μη πρωτον δηση τον ισχυρον; και τοτε την οικιαν αυτου διαρπασει.

30He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν, και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει.

31'Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

δια τουτο λεγω υμιν, πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις, η δε του πνευματος βλασφημια ουκ αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις·

32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

και ος εαν ειπη λογον κατα του υιου του ανθρωπου, αφεθησεται αυτω· ος δ αν ειπη κατα του πνευματος του αγιου, ουκ αφεθησεται αυτω ουτε εν τω νυν αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι.

33'Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

η ποιησατε το δενδρον καλον, και τον καρπον αυτου καλον, η ποιησατε το δενδρον σαπρον, και τον καρπον αυτου σαπρον· εκ γαρ του καρπου το δενδρον γινωσκεται.

34Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

γεννηματα εχιδνων, πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες; εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει.

35A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα, και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα.

36But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο εαν λαλησωσιν οι ανθρωποι, αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως·

37For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.'

εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση.

38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, 'Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.'

τοτε απεκριθησαν τινες των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων λεγοντες· διδασκαλε, θελομεν απο σου σημειον ιδειν.

39But He answered and said to them, 'An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον επιζητει, και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου.

40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

ωσπερ γαρ εγενετο ιωνας ο προφητης εν τη κοιλια του κητους τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας, ουτως εσται [και] ο υιος του ανθρωπου εν τη καρδια της γης τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας.

41The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

ανδρες νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην, οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα, και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε.

42The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτην, οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνος, και ιδου πλειον σολομωνος ωδε.

43'When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

οταν δε το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου, διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν, και ουχ ευρισκει.

44Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

τοτε λεγει· εις τον οικον μου επιστρεψω οθεν εξηλθον· και ελθον ευρισκει σχολαζοντα [και] σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον.

45Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.'

τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει μεθ εαυτου επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου, και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει, και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων. ουτως εσται και τη γενεα τη πονηρα ταυτη.

46While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

ετι δε αυτου λαλουντος τοις οχλοις ιδου η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ειστηκεισαν εξω, ζητουντες λαλησαι αυτω.

47Then one said to Him, 'Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.'

ειπεν δε τις αυτω· ιδου η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εστηκασιν εξω ζητουντες σε ιδειν.

48But He answered and said to the one who told Him, 'Who is My mother and who are My brothers?'

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν τω λεγοντι αυτω· τις εστιν η μητηρ μου και τινες εισιν οι αδελφοι μου;

49And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, 'Here are My mother and My brothers!

και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου επι τους μαθητας αυτου εφη· ιδου η μητηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου·

50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.'

οστις γαρ αν ποιηση το θελημα του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις, αυτος μου αδελφος και αδελφη και μητηρ εστιν.
