New Testament

Matthew 9

1So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.

και εμβας εις πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εις την ιδιαν πολιν.

2Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, 'Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.'

και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινης βεβλημενον· και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω· θαρσει, τεκνον· αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου.

3And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, 'This Man blasphemes!'

και ιδου τινες των γραμματεων ειπον εν εαυτοις· ουτος βλασφημει.

4But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, 'Why do you think evil in your hearts?

και ιδων ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν· ινα τι υμεις ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις υμων;

5For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise and walk'?

τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον, ειπειν, αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι, η ειπειν, εγειρε και περιπατει;

6But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins'—then He said to the paralytic, 'Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.'

ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας — τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω· εγερθεις αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου.

7And he arose and departed to his house.

και εγερθεις απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου.

8Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι εθαυμασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοις ανθρωποις.

9As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, 'Follow Me.' So he arose and followed Him.

και παραγων ο ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον, ματθαιον λεγομενον, και λεγει αυτω· ακολουθει μοι. και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω.

10Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.

και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια, και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου.

11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, 'Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?'

και ιδοντες οι φαρισαιοι ειπον τοις μαθηταις αυτου· διατι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλος υμων;

12When Jesus heard that, He said to them, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

ο δε ιησους ακουσας ειπεν αυτοις· ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου, αλλ οι κακως εχοντες.

13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.'

πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν. ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους, αλλα αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν.

14Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, 'Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?'

τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντες· διατι ημεις και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν πολλα, οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν;

15And Jesus said to them, 'Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους· μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος πενθειν εφ οσον [χρονον] μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιος; ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος, και τοτε νηστευσουσιν.

16No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω· αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου, και χειρον σχισμα γινεται.

17Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.'

ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους· ει δε μηγε, ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι, και ο οινος εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολουνται· αλλα οινον νεον εις ασκους βαλλουσιν καινους, και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται.

18While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, 'My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.'

ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις ιδου αρχων [εις] προσελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν· αλλα ελθων επιθες την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται.

19So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

και εγερθεις ο ιησους ηκολουθησεν αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου.

20And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

και ιδου γυνη, αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη, προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου·

21For she said to herself, 'If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.'

ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη, εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου, σωθησομαι.

22But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, 'Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.' And the woman was made well from that hour.

ο δε ιησους επιστραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπεν· θαρσει, θυγατερ· η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε. και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης.

23When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον,

24He said to them, 'Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.' And they ridiculed Him.

λεγει αυτοις· αναχωρειτε· ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον, αλλα καθευδει. και κατεγελων αυτου.

25But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος, εισελθων εκρατησεν της χειρος αυτης, και ηγερθη το κορασιον.

26And the report of this went out into all that land.

και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην.

27When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, 'Son of David, have mercy on us!'

και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν αυτω δυο τυφλοι κραζοντες και λεγοντες· ελεησον ημας, υιε δαυιδ.

28And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?'

ελθοντι δε εις την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι, και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι; λεγουσιν αυτω· ναι, κυριε.

29They said to Him, 'Yes, Lord.' Then He touched their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you.'

τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων· κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν.

30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, 'See that no one knows it.'

και ανεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι· και ενεβριμησατο αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων· ορατε μηδεις γινωσκετω.

31But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.

οι δε εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη.

32As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον·

33And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, 'It was never seen like this in Israel!'

και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος, και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες οτι ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ.

34But the Pharisees said, 'He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.'

οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον· εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια.

35Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν εν τω λαω.

36But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων, οτι ησαν εκλελυμενοι και ερριμμενοι ως προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα.

37Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου· ο μεν θερισμος πολυς, οι δε εργαται ολιγοι·

38Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'

δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου.
