Matthew 21

1Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

και οτε ηγγισαν εις ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εις βηθσφαγη προς το ορος των ελαιων, τοτε ο ιησους απεστειλεν δυο μαθητας

2saying to them, 'Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.

λεγων αυτοις· πορευθητε εις την κωμην την απεναντι υμων, και ευθεως ευρησετε ονον δεδεμενην και πωλον μετ αυτης· λυσαντες αγαγετε μοι.

3And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them.'

και εαν τις υμιν ειπη τι, ερειτε οτι ο κυριος αυτων χρειαν εχει· ευθεως δε αποστελλει αυτους.

4All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος·

5'Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.' '

ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων, ιδου ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται σοι πραυς και επιβεβηκως επι ονον και πωλον υιον υποζυγιου.

6So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.

πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως προσεταξεν αυτοις ο ιησους,

7They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.

ηγαγον την ονον και τον πωλον, και επεθηκαν επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων, και επεκαθισεν επανω αυτων.

8And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

ο δε πλειστος οχλος εστρωσαν εαυτων τα ιματια εν τη οδω, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εν τη οδω.

9Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: 'Hosanna to the Son of David!

οι δε οχλοι οι προαγοντες και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον λεγοντες· ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ· ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου· ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.

10'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!' And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?'

και εισελθοντος αυτου εις ιεροσολυμα εσεισθη πασα η πολις λεγουσα· τις εστιν ουτος;

11So the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.'

οι δε οχλοι ελεγον· ουτος εστιν ιησους ο προφητης ο απο ναζαρετ της γαλιλαιας.

12Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

και εισηλθεν ο ιησους εις το ιερον του θεου, και εξεβαλεν παντας τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των κολλυβιστων κατεστρεψεν και τας καθεδρας των πωλουντων τας περιστερας,

13And He said to them, 'It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' '

και λεγει αυτοις· γεγραπται, ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης κληθησεται· υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων.

14Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

και προσηλθον αυτω χωλοι και τυφλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους.

15But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' they were indignant

ιδοντες δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις τα θαυμασια α εποιησεν και τους παιδας κραζοντας εν τω ιερω και λεγοντας, ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ, ηγανακτησαν

16and said to Him, 'Do You hear what these are saying?' And Jesus said to them, 'Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?'

και ειπον αυτω· ακουεις τι ουτοι λεγουσιν; ο δε ιησους λεγει αυτοις· ναι· ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε οτι εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον;

17Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.

και καταλιπων αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις βηθανιαν και ηυλισθη εκει.

18Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry.

πρωιας δε επαναγων εις την πολιν επεινασεν·

19And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, 'Let no fruit grow on you ever again.' Immediately the fig tree withered away.

και ιδων συκην μιαν επι της οδου ηλθεν επ αυτην, και ουδεν ευρεν εν αυτη ει μη φυλλα μονον, και λεγει αυτη· μηκετι εκ σου καρπος γενηται εις τον αιωνα. και εξηρανθη παραχρημα η συκη.

20And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, 'How did the fig tree wither away so soon?'

και ιδοντες οι μαθηται εθαυμασαν λεγοντες· πως παραχρημα εξηρανθη η συκη;

21So Jesus answered and said to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done.

αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν, εαν εχητε πιστιν και μη διακριθητε, ου μονον το της συκης ποιησετε, αλλα καν τω ορει τουτω ειπητε, αρθητι και βληθητι εις την θαλασσαν, γενησεται·

22And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.'

και παντα οσα εαν αιτησητε εν τη προσευχη πιστευοντες, ληψεσθε.

23Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, 'By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?'

και ελθοντι αυτω εις το ιερον προσηλθον αυτω διδασκοντι οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου λεγοντες· εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις, και τις σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην;

24But Jesus answered and said to them, 'I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things:

αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ερωτησω υμας καγω λογον ενα, ον εαν ειπητε μοι, καγω υμιν ερω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω.

25The baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?'

το βαπτισμα ιωαννου ποθεν ην, εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων; οι δε διελογιζοντο παρ εαυτοις λεγοντες· εαν ειπωμεν, εξ ουρανου, ερει ημιν, διατι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω·

26And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet.'

εαν δε ειπωμεν, εξ ανθρωπων, φοβουμεθα τον οχλον· παντες γαρ εχουσιν τον ιωαννην ως προφητην.

27So they answered Jesus and said, 'We do not know.'

και αποκριθεντες τω ιησου ειπον· ουκ οιδαμεν. εφη αυτοις και αυτος· ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω.

28And He said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 'But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go, work today in my vineyard.'

τι δε υμιν δοκει; ανθρωπος τις ειχεν τεκνα δυο, και προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν· τεκνον, υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου.

29He answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he regretted it and went.

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν· ου θελω· υστερον δε μεταμεληθεις απηλθεν.

30Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.

και προσελθων τω δευτερω ειπεν ωσαυτως. ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν· εγω, κυριε· και ουκ απηλθεν.

31Which of the two did the will of his father?'

τις εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατρος; λεγουσιν αυτω· ο πρωτος. λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμας εις την βασιλειαν του θεου.

32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him. They said to Him, 'The first.'

ηλθεν γαρ προς υμας ιωαννης εν οδω δικαιοσυνης, και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω· οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω· υμεις δε ιδοντες ου μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω.

33'Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Jesus said to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε. ανθρωπος τις ην οικοδεσποτης, οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και φραγμον αυτω περιεθηκεν και ωρυξεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον, και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν.

34Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit.

οτε δε ηγγισεν ο καιρος των καρπων, απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους λαβειν τους καρπους αυτου.

35And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.

και λαβοντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου ον μεν εδειραν, ον δε απεκτειναν, ον δε ελιθοβολησαν.

36Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειονας των πρωτων, και εποιησαν αυτοις ωσαυτως.

37Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

υστερον δε απεστειλεν προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων· εντραπησονται τον υιον μου.

38But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

οι δε γεωργοι ιδοντες τον υιον ειπον εν εαυτοις· ουτος εστιν ο κληρονομος· δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και κατασχωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου.

39So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

και λαβοντες αυτον εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και απεκτειναν.

40'Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?'

οταν ουν ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος, τι ποιησει τοις γεωργοις εκεινοις;

41They said to Him, 'He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.'

λεγουσιν αυτω· κακους κακως απολεσει αυτους, και τον αμπελωνα εκδωσεται αλλοις γεωργοις, οιτινες αποδωσουσιν αυτω τους καρπους εν τοις καιροις αυτων.

42Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?'

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε εν ταις γραφαις, λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας· παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη, και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων;

43Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

δια τουτο λεγω υμιν οτι αρθησεται αφ υμων η βασιλεια του θεου και δοθησεται εθνει ποιουντι τους καρπους αυτης·

44And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.'

και ο πεσων επι τον λιθον τουτον συνθλασθησεται· εφ ον δ αν πεση, λικμησει αυτον.

45Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.

και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου εγνωσαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει·

46But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a prophet.

και ζητουντες αυτον κρατησαι εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους, επειδη ως προφητην αυτον ειχον.
