Matthew 22

1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους παλιν ειπεν αυτοις εν παραβολαις λεγων·

2'The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,

ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει, οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου.

3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.

και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους, και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν.

4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, 'See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.' '

παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων· ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις· ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα, οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα, και παντα ετοιμα· δευτε εις τους γαμους.

5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.

οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον, ο μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον, ο δε εις την εμποριαν αυτου·

6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.

οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν.

7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς εκεινος ωργισθη, και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν.

8Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου· ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν, οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι·

9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'

πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων, και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους.

10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας οσους ευρον, πονηρους τε και αγαθους· και επλησθη ο γαμος ανακειμενων.

11'But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου,

12So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

και λεγει αυτω· εταιρε, πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου; ο δε εφιμωθη.

13Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς τοις διακονοις· δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον· εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων.

14'For many are called, but few are chosen.'

πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι, ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι.

15Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.

τοτε πορευθεντες οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπως αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω.

16And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, 'Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.

και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντες· διδασκαλε, οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις, και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος· ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων·

17Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?'

ειπε ουν ημιν, τι σοι δοκει; εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου;

18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, 'Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?

γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν· τι με πειραζετε, υποκριται;

19Show Me the tax money.'

επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου. οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον.

20So they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, 'Whose image and inscription is this?'

και λεγει αυτοις· τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη;

21They said to Him, 'Caesar's.'

λεγουσιν αυτω· καισαρος. τοτε λεγει αυτοις· αποδοτε ουν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω.

22And He said to them, 'Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν, και αφεντες αυτον απηλθον.

23The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι, οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν, και επηρωτησαν αυτον

24saying: 'Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

λεγοντες· διδασκαλε, μωσης ειπεν, εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα, επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου.

25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.

ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι· και ο πρωτος γαμησας ετελευτησεν, και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου·

26Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.

ομοιως και ο δευτερος και ο τριτος, εως των επτα.

27Last of all the woman died also.

υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη.

28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.'

εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος των επτα εσται η γυνη; παντες γαρ εσχον αυτην.

29Jesus answered and said to them, 'You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· πλανασθε μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου.

30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται, αλλ ως αγγελοι θεου εν ουρανω εισιν.

31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντος,

32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.'

εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ; ουκ εστιν ο θεος θεος νεκρων, αλλα ζωντων.

33And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου.

34But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες οτι εφιμωσεν τους σαδδουκαιους, συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο,

35Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,

και επηρωτησεν εις εξ αυτων, νομικος, πειραζων αυτον και λεγων·

36'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?'

διδασκαλε, ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω;

37Jesus said to him, ''You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

ο δε ιησους εφη αυτω· αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου.

38This is the first and great commandment.

αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη.

39And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη· αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον.

40On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.'

εν ταυταις ταις δυσιν εντολαις ολος ο νομος και οι προφηται κρεμανται.

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτους ο ιησους

42saying, 'What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?'

λεγων· τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου; τινος υιος εστιν; λεγουσιν αυτω· του δαυιδ.

43They said to Him, 'The Son of David.' He said to them, 'How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:

λεγει αυτοις· πως ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων,

44'The LORD said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool''?

ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου;

45If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?'

ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον, πως υιος αυτου εστιν;

46And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.

και ουδεις εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον, ουδε ετολμησεν τις απ εκεινης της ημερας επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι.
