The Gospel According to Matthew

Wheel of Heaven Translation

Eight canon-cited chapters from the earliest substantial Koine Greek manuscript witnesses: Mt 1 (genealogy + virgin birth); Mt 5-7 (Sermon on the Mount); Mt 13 (kingdom parables); Mt 17 (Transfiguration); Mt 25 (final judgment); Mt 28 (Resurrection + Great Commission)

An English translation of the eight Matthew chapters most heavily engaged by the Raëlian canon — produced from the earliest substantial Koine Greek manuscript witnesses (4th c. CE uncials Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, cross-collated against the 2nd-3rd c. CE papyri P45, P64+P67, P77, P103, P104). The project's first Christian-tradition text and first Koine Greek source text.

The 8 canon-cited chapters: Mt 1 (genealogy of Jesus + the virgin-birth narrative); Mt 5 (Sermon on the Mount Pt I: Beatitudes, salt and light, 'not to abolish but to fulfill,' the antitheses); Mt 6 (Sermon on the Mount Pt II: alms, the Lord's Prayer, fasting, treasure in heaven, anxiety); Mt 7 (Sermon on the Mount Pt III: judgment, ask-seek-knock, the golden rule, the narrow gate, the two builders); Mt 13 (the kingdom parables — the Parable of the Sower is the canon's explicit panspermia-citation site per Raël's reading as 'life being seeded on multiple worlds'); Mt 17 (the Transfiguration + the demoniac boy + the temple-tax); Mt 25 (Ten Virgins + Talents + Sheep and Goats — the final-judgment chapter); Mt 28 (the Resurrection + the Great Commission).

The early-manuscript approach parallels the Qur'an translation's Tübingen Ma VI 165 + Codex Parisino-petropolitanus method: source the text from the earliest substantially-complete codices (Vaticanus 4th c., Sinaiticus 4th c.), cross-collate against the earlier papyri where they preserve target verses (P104 ~150 CE is among the earliest witnesses to Matthew — earlier than both uncials by ~150-200 years), and document NA28/UBS5/SBLGNT critical-apparatus variants per verse.

Fourth canon-source-tension closure after Shi'ur Qomah (parasangs), Qur'an (inshiqāq al-qamar + ḥūr ʿīn), and Exodus (pillar/parting/manna/theophany). The acknowledgment-without-endorsement framework is applied at the Mt 13 Parable-of-the-Sower panspermia-site + Mt 17 Transfiguration + Mt 28 Resurrection + Great Commission canon-engagement sites — same pattern.

The WoH-Translation produces the philologically-disciplined version with explicit operational disavowals against (a) the Raëlian-canon Mt 13 panspermia pre-resolution; (b) Christian-supersessionist readings (Mt 5:17 'not to abolish but to fulfill' must NOT be theologized into 'Old-Testament-superseded'); (c) the Isa 7:14 LXX-parthenos vs Hebrew ʿalmâ virgin-birth philological dispute preserved-not-adjudicated; (d) Sitchin/Anunnaki-engineered-spiritual-technology pre-resolution; (e) the orientalist/colonialist Great-Commission misreadings.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wishing to expose her to disgrace, resolved to divorce her quietly.

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

But while he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.

Now all this took place so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:

Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel" — which is translated, "God with us."

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.

And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;

Chapter 5

Matthew 5 — Sermon on the Mount Pt I: Beatitudes, salt and light, 'not to abolish but to fulfill,' the antitheses

And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

Ἰδὼν Idōn δὲ de τοὺς tous ὄχλους ochlous ἀνέβη anebē εἰς eis τὸ to ὄρος· oros· καὶ kai καθίσαντος kathisantos αὐτοῦ autou προσῆλθαν prosēlthan αὐτῷ autō οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai αὐτοῦ· autou·

And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

καὶ kai ἀνοίξας anoixas τὸ to στόμα stoma αὐτοῦ autou ἐδίδασκεν edidasken αὐτοὺς autous λέγων· legōn·

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Μακάριοι Makarioi οἱ hoi πτωχοὶ ptōchoi τῷ tō πνεύματι, pneumati, ὅτι hoti αὐτῶν autōn ἐστιν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν. ouranōn.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi πενθοῦντες, penthountes, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi παρακληθήσονται. paraklēthēsontai.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet,

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi πραεῖς, praeis, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi κληρονομήσουσιν klēronomēsousin τὴν tēn γῆν. gēn.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi πεινῶντες peinōntes καὶ kai διψῶντες dipsōntes τὴν tēn δικαιοσύνην, dikaiosynēn, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi χορτασθήσονται. chortasthēsontai.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi ἐλεήμονες, eleēmones, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi ἐλεηθήσονται. eleēthēsontai.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi καθαροὶ katharoi τῇ tē καρδίᾳ, kardia, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi τὸν ton θεὸν theon ὄψονται. opsontai.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi εἰρηνοποιοί, eirēnopoioi, ὅτι hoti αὐτοὶ autoi υἱοὶ huioi θεοῦ theou κληθήσονται. klēthēsontai.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi δεδιωγμένοι dediōgmenoi ἕνεκεν heneken δικαιοσύνης, dikaiosynēs, ὅτι hoti αὐτῶν autōn ἐστιν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν. ouranōn.

Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you and speak every kind of evil against you, lying, on my account.

And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

μακάριοί makarioi ἐστε este ὅταν hotan ὀνειδίσωσιν oneidisōsin ὑμᾶς hymas καὶ kai διώξωσιν diōxōsin καὶ kai εἴπωσιν eipōsin πᾶν pan πονηρὸν ponēron καθ' kath' ὑμῶν hymōn ψευδόμενοι pseudomenoi ἕνεκεν heneken ἐμοῦ· emou·

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in the heavens is great; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

χαίρετε chairete καὶ kai ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, agalliasthe, ὅτι hoti ὁ ho μισθὸς misthos ὑμῶν hymōn πολὺς polys ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς· ouranois· οὕτως houtōs γὰρ gar ἐδίωξαν ediōxan τοὺς tous προφήτας prophētas τοὺς tous πρὸ pro ὑμῶν. hymōn.

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by people.

Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Ὑμεῖς Hymeis ἐστε este τὸ to ἅλας halas τῆς tēs γῆς· gēs· ἐὰν ean δὲ de τὸ to ἅλας halas μωρανθῇ, mōranthē, ἐν en τίνι tini ἁλισθήσεται; halisthēsetai? εἰς eis οὐδὲν ouden ἰσχύει ischyei ἔτι eti εἰ ei μὴ mē βληθὲν blēthen ἔξω exō καταπατεῖσθαι katapateisthai ὑπὸ hypo τῶν tōn ἀνθρώπων. anthrōpōn.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;

Ὑμεῖς Hymeis ἐστε este τὸ to φῶς phōs τοῦ tou κόσμου. kosmou. οὐ ou δύναται dynatai πόλις polis κρυβῆναι krybēnai ἐπάνω epanō ὄρους orous κειμένη· keimenē·

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.

οὐδὲ oude καίουσιν kaiousin λύχνον lychnon καὶ kai τιθέασιν titheasin αὐτὸν auton ὑπὸ hypo τὸν ton μόδιον modion ἀλλ' all' ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn λυχνίαν, lychnian, καὶ kai λάμπει lampei πᾶσιν pasin τοῖς tois ἐν en τῇ tē οἰκίᾳ. oikia.

Even so, let your light shine before people, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

οὕτως houtōs λαμψάτω lampsatō τὸ to φῶς phōs ὑμῶν hymōn ἔμπροσθεν emprosthen τῶν tōn ἀνθρώπων, anthrōpōn, ὅπως hopōs ἴδωσιν idōsin ὑμῶν hymōn τὰ ta καλὰ kala ἔργα erga καὶ kai δοξάσωσιν doxasōsin τὸν ton πατέρα patera ὑμῶν hymōn τὸν ton ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς. ouranois.

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

Μὴ Mē νομίσητε nomisēte ὅτι hoti ἦλθον ēlthon καταλῦσαι katalysai τὸν ton νόμον nomon ἢ ē τοὺς tous προφήτας· prophētas· οὐκ ouk ἦλθον ēlthon καταλῦσαι katalysai ἀλλὰ alla πληρῶσαι· plērōsai·

For amen I say to you: until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or one stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished.

A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

ἀμὴν amēn γὰρ gar λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἕως heōs ἂν an παρέλθῃ parelthē ὁ ho οὐρανὸς ouranos καὶ kai ἡ hē γῆ, gē, ἰῶτα iōta ἓν hen ἢ ē μία mia κεραία keraia οὐ ou μὴ mē παρέλθῃ parelthē ἀπὸ apo τοῦ tou νόμου, nomou, ἕως heōs ἂν an πάντα panta γένηται. genētai.

Whoever therefore relaxes one of the least of these commandments and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

ὃς hos ἐὰν ean οὖν oun λύσῃ lysē μίαν mian τῶν tōn ἐντολῶν entolōn τούτων toutōn τῶν tōn ἐλαχίστων elachistōn καὶ kai διδάξῃ didaxē οὕτως houtōs τοὺς tous ἀνθρώπους, anthrōpous, ἐλάχιστος elachistos κληθήσεται klēthēsetai ἐν en τῇ tē βασιλείᾳ basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν· ouranōn· ὃς hos δ' d' ἂν an ποιήσῃ poiēsē καὶ kai διδάξῃ, didaxē, οὗτος houtos μέγας megas κληθήσεται klēthēsetai ἐν en τῇ tē βασιλείᾳ basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν. ouranōn.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of the heavens.

Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child`s life.

λέγω legō γὰρ gar ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti ἐὰν ean μὴ mē περισσεύσῃ perisseusē ὑμῶν hymōn ἡ hē δικαιοσύνη dikaiosynē πλεῖον pleion τῶν tōn γραμματέων grammateōn καὶ kai Φαρισαίων, Pharisaiōn, οὐ ou μὴ mē εἰσέλθητε eiselthēte εἰς eis τὴν tēn βασιλείαν basileian τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν. ouranōn.

You have heard that it was said to those of old: "You shall not murder"; and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.

And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Ἠκούσατε Ēkousate ὅτι hoti ἐρρέθη errethē τοῖς tois ἀρχαίοις· archaiois· Οὐ Ou φονεύσεις· phoneuseis· ὃς hos δ' d' ἂν an φονεύσῃ, phoneusē, ἔνοχος enochos ἔσται estai τῇ tē κρίσει. krisei.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; and whoever says to his brother, "Raca" (empty-head), shall be liable to the council; and whoever says, "You fool," shall be liable to the gehenna of fire.

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

ἐγὼ egō δὲ de λέγω legō ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti πᾶς pas ὁ ho ὀργιζόμενος orgizomenos τῷ tō ἀδελφῷ adelphō αὐτοῦ autou ἔνοχος enochos ἔσται estai τῇ tē κρίσει· krisei· ὃς hos δ' d' ἂν an εἴπῃ eipē τῷ tō ἀδελφῷ adelphō αὐτοῦ· autou· Ῥακά, Rhaka, ἔνοχος enochos ἔσται estai τῷ tō συνεδρίῳ· synedriō· ὃς hos δ' d' ἂν an εἴπῃ· eipē· Μωρέ, Mōre, ἔνοχος enochos ἔσται estai εἰς eis τὴν tēn γέενναν geennan τοῦ tou πυρός. puros.

If therefore you are bringing your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.

leave your gift there before the altar and go: first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Make friends quickly with your accuser while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

Amen I say to you, you shall by no means come out from there until you have paid the last quadrans.

You have heard that it was said: "You shall not commit adultery."

Ἠκούσατε Ēkousate ὅτι hoti ἐρρέθη· errethē· Οὐ Ou μοιχεύσεις. moicheuseis.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be thrown into gehenna.

And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go away into gehenna.

It was also said: "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce."

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

ἐγὼ egō δὲ de λέγω legō ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti πᾶς pas ὁ ho ἀπολύων apolyōn τὴν tēn γυναῖκα gynaika αὐτοῦ autou παρεκτὸς parektos λόγου logou πορνείας porneias ποιεῖ poiei αὐτὴν autēn μοιχευθῆναι, moicheuthēnai, καὶ kai ὃς hos ἐὰν ean ἀπολελυμένην apolelymenēn γαμήσῃ gamēsē μοιχᾶται. moichatai.

Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old: "You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn."

Πάλιν Palin ἠκούσατε ēkousate ὅτι hoti ἐρρέθη errethē τοῖς tois ἀρχαίοις· archaiois· Οὐκ Ouk ἐπιορκήσεις, epiorkēseis, ἀποδώσεις apodōseis δὲ de τῷ tō κυρίῳ kyriō τοὺς tous ὅρκους horkous σου. sou.

But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

ἐγὼ egō δὲ de λέγω legō ὑμῖν hymin μὴ mē ὀμόσαι omosai ὅλως· holōs· μήτε mēte ἐν en τῷ tō οὐρανῷ, ouranō, ὅτι hoti θρόνος thronos ἐστὶν estin τοῦ tou θεοῦ· theou·

nor shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

But let your word be "Yes, yes," "No, no"; anything beyond these is from the evil one.

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

ἐγὼ egō δὲ de λέγω legō ὑμῖν hymin μὴ mē ἀντιστῆναι antistēnai τῷ tō πονηρῷ· ponērō· ἀλλ' all' ὅστις hostis σε se ῥαπίζει rhapizei εἰς eis τὴν tēn δεξιὰν dexian σιαγόνα, siagona, στρέψον strepson αὐτῷ autō καὶ kai τὴν tēn ἄλλην· allēn·

And to the one who wishes to sue you and take your tunic, hand over your cloak also.

And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

καὶ kai ὅστις hostis σε se ἀγγαρεύσει angareusei μίλιον milion ἕν, hen, ὕπαγε hypage μετ' met' αὐτοῦ autou δύο. dyo.

Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn away from the one who wishes to borrow from you.

You have heard that it was said: "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

ἐγὼ egō δὲ de λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἀγαπᾶτε agapate τοὺς tous ἐχθροὺς echthrous ὑμῶν hymōn καὶ kai προσεύχεσθε proseuchesthe ὑπὲρ hyper τῶν tōn διωκόντων diōkontōn ὑμᾶς· hymas·

so that you may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens, for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

ὅπως hopōs γένησθε genēsthe υἱοὶ huioi τοῦ tou πατρὸς patros ὑμῶν hymōn τοῦ tou ἐν en οὐρανοῖς, ouranois, ὅτι hoti τὸν ton ἥλιον hēlion αὐτοῦ autou ἀνατέλλει anatellei ἐπὶ epi πονηροὺς ponērous καὶ kai ἀγαθοὺς agathous καὶ kai βρέχει brechei ἐπὶ epi δικαίους dikaious καὶ kai ἀδίκους. adikous.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

ἐὰν ean γὰρ gar ἀγαπήσητε agapēsēte τοὺς tous ἀγαπῶντας agapōntas ὑμᾶς, hymas, τίνα tina μισθὸν misthon ἔχετε; echete? οὐχὶ ouchi καὶ kai οἱ hoi τελῶναι telōnai τὸ to αὐτὸ auto ποιοῦσιν; poiousin?

And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

You therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Chapter 6

Matthew 6 — Sermon on the Mount Pt II: alms, the Lord's Prayer, fasting, treasure in heaven, anxiety

Take care not to practice your righteousness before people in order to be seen by them; for if you do, you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.

And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying,

Προσέχετε Prosechete δὲ de τὴν tēn δικαιοσύνην dikaiosynēn ὑμῶν hymōn μὴ mē ποιεῖν poiein ἔμπροσθεν emprosthen τῶν tōn ἀνθρώπων anthrōpōn πρὸς pros τὸ to θεαθῆναι theathēnai αὐτοῖς· autois· εἰ ei δὲ de μή mē γε, ge, μισθὸν misthon οὐκ ouk ἔχετε echete παρὰ para τῷ tō πατρὶ patri ὑμῶν hymōn τῷ tō ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς. ouranois.

So when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by people. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Ὅταν Hotan οὖν oun ποιῇς poiēs ἐλεημοσύνην, eleēmosynēn, μὴ mē σαλπίσῃς salpisēs ἔμπροσθέν emprosthen σου, sou, ὥσπερ hōsper οἱ hoi ὑποκριταὶ hypokritai ποιοῦσιν poiousin ἐν en ταῖς tais συναγωγαῖς synagōgais καὶ kai ἐν en ταῖς tais ῥύμαις, rhymais, ὅπως hopōs δοξασθῶσιν doxasthōsin ὑπὸ hypo τῶν tōn ἀνθρώπων· anthrōpōn· ἀμὴν amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἀπέχουσιν apechousin τὸν ton μισθὸν misthon αὐτῶν. autōn.

But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.

σοῦ sou δὲ de ποιοῦντος poiountos ἐλεημοσύνην eleēmosynēn μὴ mē γνώτω gnōtō ἡ hē ἀριστερά aristera σου sou τί ti ποιεῖ poiei ἡ hē δεξιά dexia σου, sou,

so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Now John himself had his raiment of camel`s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

ὅπως hopōs ᾖ ē σου sou ἡ hē ἐλεημοσύνη eleēmosynē ἐν en τῷ tō κρυπτῷ· kryptō· καὶ kai ὁ ho πατήρ patēr σου sou ὁ ho βλέπων blepōn ἐν en τῷ tō κρυπτῷ kryptō ἀποδώσει apodōsei σοι. soi.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by people. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan;

Καὶ Kai ὅταν hotan προσεύχησθε, proseuchēsthe, οὐκ ouk ἔσεσθε esesthe ὡς hōs οἱ hoi ὑποκριταί· hypokritai· ὅτι hoti φιλοῦσιν philousin ἐν en ταῖς tais συναγωγαῖς synagōgais καὶ kai ἐν en ταῖς tais γωνίαις gōniais τῶν tōn πλατειῶν plateiōn ἑστῶτες hestōtes προσεύχεσθαι, proseuchesthai, ὅπως hopōs φανῶσιν phanōsin τοῖς tois ἀνθρώποις· anthrōpois· ἀμὴν amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἀπέχουσιν apechousin τὸν ton μισθὸν misthon αὐτῶν. autōn.

But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, and shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

σὺ sy δὲ de ὅταν hotan προσεύχῃ, proseuchē, εἴσελθε eiselthe εἰς eis τὸ to ταμεῖόν tameion σου sou καὶ kai κλείσας kleisas τὴν tēn θύραν thyran σου sou πρόσευξαι proseuxai τῷ tō πατρί patri σου sou τῷ tō ἐν en τῷ tō κρυπτῷ· kryptō· καὶ kai ὁ ho πατήρ patēr σου sou ὁ ho βλέπων blepōn ἐν en τῷ tō κρυπτῷ kryptō ἀποδώσει apodōsei σοι. soi.

And in praying, do not babble as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their many words.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Προσευχόμενοι Proseuchomenoi δὲ de μὴ mē βατταλογήσητε battalogēsēte ὥσπερ hōsper οἱ hoi ἐθνικοί, ethnikoi, δοκοῦσιν dokousin γὰρ gar ὅτι hoti ἐν en τῇ tē πολυλογίᾳ polylogia αὐτῶν autōn εἰσακουσθήσονται. eisakousthēsontai.

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:

μὴ mē οὖν oun ὁμοιωθῆτε homoiōthēte αὐτοῖς, autois, οἶδεν oiden γὰρ gar ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ὧν hōn χρείαν chreian ἔχετε echete πρὸ pro τοῦ tou ὑμᾶς hymas αἰτῆσαι aitēsai αὐτόν. auton.

Pray then in this way: Our Father who are in the heavens, hallowed be your name,

and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Οὕτως Houtōs οὖν oun προσεύχεσθε proseuchesthe ὑμεῖς· hymeis· Πάτερ Pater ἡμῶν hēmōn ὁ ho ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς, ouranois, ἁγιασθήτω hagiasthētō τὸ to ὄνομά onoma σου, sou,

your kingdom come, your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.

And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

ἐλθέτω elthetō ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia σου, sou, γενηθήτω genēthētō τὸ to θέλημά thelēma σου, sou, ὡς hōs ἐν en οὐρανῷ ouranō καὶ kai ἐπὶ epi γῆς. gēs.

Give us this day our daily bread;

I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:

Τὸν Ton ἄρτον arton ἡμῶν hēmōn τὸν ton ἐπιούσιον epiousion δὸς dos ἡμῖν hēmin σήμερον· sēmeron·

and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors;

whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

καὶ kai ἄφες aphes ἡμῖν hēmin τὰ ta ὀφειλήματα opheilēmata ἡμῶν, hēmōn, ὡς hōs καὶ kai ἡμεῖς hēmeis ἀφήκαμεν aphēkamen τοῖς tois ὀφειλέταις opheiletais ἡμῶν· hēmōn·

and do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

καὶ kai μὴ mē εἰσενέγκῃς eisenenkēs ἡμᾶς hēmas εἰς eis πειρασμόν, peirasmon, ἀλλὰ alla ῥῦσαι rhysai ἡμᾶς hēmas ἀπὸ apo τοῦ tou πονηροῦ. ponērou.

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;

But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

ἐὰν ean γὰρ gar ἀφῆτε aphēte τοῖς tois ἀνθρώποις anthrōpois τὰ ta παραπτώματα paraptōmata αὐτῶν, autōn, ἀφήσει aphēsei καὶ kai ὑμῖν hymin ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ὁ ho οὐράνιος· ouranios·

but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.

ἐὰν ean δὲ de μὴ mē ἀφῆτε aphēte τοῖς tois ἀνθρώποις, anthrōpois, οὐδὲ oude ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ἀφήσει aphēsei τὰ ta παραπτώματα paraptōmata ὑμῶν. hymōn.

And when you fast, do not be gloomy-faced like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by people to be fasting. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;

Ὅταν Hotan δὲ de νηστεύητε, nēsteuēte, μὴ mē γίνεσθε ginesthe ὡς hōs οἱ hoi ὑποκριταὶ hypokritai σκυθρωποί, skythrōpoi, ἀφανίζουσιν aphanizousin γὰρ gar τὰ ta πρόσωπα prosōpa αὐτῶν autōn ὅπως hopōs φανῶσιν phanōsin τοῖς tois ἀνθρώποις anthrōpois νηστεύοντες· nēsteuontes· ἀμὴν amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἀπέχουσιν apechousin τὸν ton μισθὸν misthon αὐτῶν. autōn.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

σὺ sy δὲ de νηστεύων nēsteuōn ἄλειψαί aleipsai σου sou τὴν tēn κεφαλὴν kephalēn καὶ kai τὸ to πρόσωπόν prosōpon σου sou νίψαι, nipsai,

so that you may not be seen by people to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

ὅπως hopōs μὴ mē φανῇς phanēs τοῖς tois ἀνθρώποις anthrōpois νηστεύων nēsteuōn ἀλλὰ alla τῷ tō πατρί patri σου sou τῷ tō ἐν en τῷ tō κρυφαίῳ· kryphaiō· καὶ kai ὁ ho πατήρ patēr σου sou ὁ ho βλέπων blepōn ἐν en τῷ tō κρυφαίῳ kryphaiō ἀποδώσει apodōsei σοι. soi.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal;

Μὴ Mē θησαυρίζετε thēsaurizete ὑμῖν hymin θησαυροὺς thēsaurous ἐπὶ epi τῆς tēs γῆς, gēs, ὅπου hopou σὴς sēs καὶ kai βρῶσις brōsis ἀφανίζει, aphanizei, καὶ kai ὅπου hopou κλέπται kleptai διορύσσουσιν dioryssousin καὶ kai κλέπτουσιν· kleptousin·

but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in or steal.

θησαυρίζετε thēsaurizete δὲ de ὑμῖν hymin θησαυροὺς thēsaurous ἐν en οὐρανῷ, ouranō, ὅπου hopou οὔτε oute σὴς sēs οὔτε oute βρῶσις brōsis ἀφανίζει, aphanizei, καὶ kai ὅπου hopou κλέπται kleptai οὐ ou διορύσσουσιν dioryssousin οὐδὲ oude κλέπτουσιν· kleptousin·

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

ὅπου hopou γάρ gar ἐστιν estin ὁ ho θησαυρός thēsauros σου, sou, ἐκεῖ ekei ἔσται estai καὶ kai ἡ hē καρδία kardia σου. sou.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light;

Ὁ Ho λύχνος lychnos τοῦ tou σώματός sōmatos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho ὀφθαλμός. ophthalmos. ἐὰν ean οὖν oun ᾖ ē ὁ ho ὀφθαλμός ophthalmos σου sou ἁπλοῦς, haplous, ὅλον holon τὸ to σῶμά sōma σου sou φωτεινὸν phōteinon ἔσται· estai·

but if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

ἐὰν ean δὲ de ὁ ho ὀφθαλμός ophthalmos σου sou πονηρὸς ponēros ᾖ, ē, ὅλον holon τὸ to σῶμά sōma σου sou σκοτεινὸν skoteinon ἔσται. estai. εἰ ei οὖν oun τὸ to φῶς phōs τὸ to ἐν en σοὶ soi σκότος skotos ἐστίν, estin, τὸ to σκότος skotos πόσον. poson.

No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Οὐδεὶς Oudeis δύναται dynatai δυσὶ dysi κυρίοις kyriois δουλεύειν· douleuein· ἢ ē γὰρ gar τὸν ton ἕνα hena μισήσει misēsei καὶ kai τὸν ton ἕτερον heteron ἀγαπήσει, agapēsei, ἢ ē ἑνὸς henos ἀνθέξεται anthexetai καὶ kai τοῦ tou ἑτέρου heterou καταφρονήσει. kataphronēsei. οὐ ou δύνασθε dynasthe θεῷ theō δουλεύειν douleuein καὶ kai μαμωνᾷ. mamōna.

Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Διὰ Dia τοῦτο touto λέγω legō ὑμῖν· hymin· μὴ mē μεριμνᾶτε merimnate τῇ tē ψυχῇ psychē ὑμῶν hymōn τί ti φάγητε phagēte ἢ ē τί ti πίητε, piēte, μηδὲ mēde τῷ tō σώματι sōmati ὑμῶν hymōn τί ti ἐνδύσησθε· endysēsthe· οὐχὶ ouchi ἡ hē ψυχὴ psychē πλεῖόν pleion ἐστιν estin τῆς tēs τροφῆς trophēs καὶ kai τὸ to σῶμα sōma τοῦ tou ἐνδύματος; endymatos?

Look at the birds of the sky: they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

ἐμβλέψατε emblepsate εἰς eis τὰ ta πετεινὰ peteina τοῦ tou οὐρανοῦ ouranou ὅτι hoti οὐ ou σπείρουσιν speirousin οὐδὲ oude θερίζουσιν therizousin οὐδὲ oude συνάγουσιν synagousin εἰς eis ἀποθήκας, apothēkas, καὶ kai ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ὁ ho οὐράνιος ouranios τρέφει trephei αὐτά· auta· οὐχ ouch ὑμεῖς hymeis μᾶλλον mallon διαφέρετε diapherete αὐτῶν; autōn?

And which of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit to his span of life?

τίς tis δὲ de ἐξ ex ὑμῶν hymōn μεριμνῶν merimnōn δύναται dynatai προσθεῖναι prostheinai ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn ἡλικίαν hēlikian αὐτοῦ autou πῆχυν pēchyn ἕνα; hena?

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil nor spin;

καὶ kai περὶ peri ἐνδύματος endymatos τί ti μεριμνᾶτε; merimnate? καταμάθετε katamathete τὰ ta κρίνα krina τοῦ tou ἀγροῦ agrou πῶς pōs αὐξάνουσιν· auxanousin· οὐ ou κοπιῶσιν kopiōsin οὐδὲ oude νήθουσιν· nēthousin·

yet I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

λέγω legō δὲ de ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti οὐδὲ oude Σολομὼν Solomōn ἐν en πάσῃ pasē τῇ tē δόξῃ doxē αὐτοῦ autou περιεβάλετο periebaleto ὡς hōs ἓν hen τούτων. toutōn.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

εἰ ei δὲ de τὸν ton χόρτον chorton τοῦ tou ἀγροῦ agrou σήμερον sēmeron ὄντα onta καὶ kai αὔριον aurion εἰς eis κλίβανον klibanon βαλλόμενον ballomenon ὁ ho θεὸς theos οὕτως houtōs ἀμφιέννυσιν, amphiennysin, οὐ ou πολλῷ pollō μᾶλλον mallon ὑμᾶς, hymas, ὀλιγόπιστοι; oligopistoi?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?"

For the Gentiles seek after all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

πάντα panta γὰρ gar ταῦτα tauta τὰ ta ἔθνη ethnē ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin· οἶδεν oiden γὰρ gar ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ὁ ho οὐράνιος ouranios ὅτι hoti χρῄζετε chrēzete τούτων toutōn ἁπάντων. hapantōn.

But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

ζητεῖτε zēteite δὲ de πρῶτον prōton τὴν tēn βασιλείαν basileian καὶ kai τὴν tēn δικαιοσύνην dikaiosynēn αὐτοῦ, autou, καὶ kai ταῦτα tauta πάντα panta προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai ὑμῖν. hymin.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

μὴ mē οὖν oun μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte εἰς eis τὴν tēn αὔριον, aurion, ἡ hē γὰρ gar αὔριον aurion μεριμνήσει merimnēsei ἑαυτῆς· heautēs· ἀρκετὸν arketon τῇ tē ἡμέρᾳ hēmera ἡ hē κακία kakia αὐτῆς. autēs.

Chapter 7

Matthew 7 — Sermon on the Mount Pt III: judgment, ask-seek-knock, the golden rule, the narrow gate, the two builders

Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Μὴ Mē κρίνετε, krinete, ἵνα hina μὴ mē κριθῆτε· krithēte·

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.

ἐν en ᾧ hō γὰρ gar κρίματι krimati κρίνετε krinete κριθήσεσθε, krithēsesthe, καὶ kai ἐν en ᾧ hō μέτρῳ metrō μετρεῖτε metreite μετρηθήσεται metrēthēsetai ὑμῖν. hymin.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam that is in your own eye?

And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.

τί ti δὲ de βλέπεις blepeis τὸ to κάρφος karphos τὸ to ἐν en τῷ tō ὀφθαλμῷ ophthalmō τοῦ tou ἀδελφοῦ adelphou σου, sou, τὴν tēn δὲ de ἐν en τῷ tō σῷ sō ὀφθαλμῷ ophthalmō δοκὸν dokon οὐ ou κατανοεῖς; katanoeis?

Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," while behold, the beam is in your own eye?

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

ἢ ē πῶς pōs ἐρεῖς ereis τῷ tō ἀδελφῷ adelphō σου· sou· Ἄφες Aphes ἐκβάλω ekbalō τὸ to κάρφος karphos ἐκ ek τοῦ tou ὀφθαλμοῦ ophthalmou σου, sou, καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou ἡ hē δοκὸς dokos ἐν en τῷ tō ὀφθαλμῷ ophthalmō σοῦ; sou?

You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

ὑποκριτά, hypokrita, ἔκβαλε ekbale πρῶτον prōton ἐκ ek τοῦ tou ὀφθαλμοῦ ophthalmou σοῦ sou τὴν tēn δοκόν, dokon, καὶ kai τότε tote διαβλέψεις diablepseis ἐκβαλεῖν ekbalein τὸ to κάρφος karphos ἐκ ek τοῦ tou ὀφθαλμοῦ ophthalmou τοῦ tou ἀδελφοῦ adelphou σου. sou.

Do not give what is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Μὴ Mē δῶτε dōte τὸ to ἅγιον hagion τοῖς tois κυσίν, kysin, μηδὲ mēde βάλητε balēte τοὺς tous μαργαρίτας margaritas ὑμῶν hymōn ἔμπροσθεν emprosthen τῶν tōn χοίρων, choirōn, μήποτε mēpote καταπατήσουσιν katapatēsousin αὐτοὺς autous ἐν en τοῖς tois ποσὶν posin αὐτῶν autōn καὶ kai στραφέντες straphentes ῥήξωσιν rhēxōsin ὑμᾶς. hymas.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.

Αἰτεῖτε, Aiteite, καὶ kai δοθήσεται dothēsetai ὑμῖν· hymin· ζητεῖτε, zēteite, καὶ kai εὑρήσετε· heurēsete· κρούετε, krouete, καὶ kai ἀνοιγήσεται anoigēsetai ὑμῖν. hymin.

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

πᾶς pas γὰρ gar ὁ ho αἰτῶν aitōn λαμβάνει lambanei καὶ kai ὁ ho ζητῶν zētōn εὑρίσκει heuriskei καὶ kai τῷ tō κρούοντι krouonti ἀνοιγήσεται. anoigēsetai.

Or what man is there among you, whose son will ask him for bread — will he give him a stone?

and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

ἢ ē τίς tis ἐστιν estin ἐξ ex ὑμῶν hymōn ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, ὃν hon αἰτήσει aitēsei ὁ ho υἱὸς huios αὐτοῦ autou ἄρτον arton — — μὴ mē λίθον lithon ἐπιδώσει epidōsei αὐτῷ; autō?

Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

ἢ ē καὶ kai ἰχθὺν ichthyn αἰτήσει aitēsei — — μὴ mē ὄφιν ophin ἐπιδώσει epidōsei αὐτῷ; autō?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask him.

Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

εἰ ei οὖν oun ὑμεῖς hymeis πονηροὶ ponēroi ὄντες ontes οἴδατε oidate δόματα domata ἀγαθὰ agatha διδόναι didonai τοῖς tois τέκνοις teknois ὑμῶν, hymōn, πόσῳ posō μᾶλλον mallon ὁ ho πατὴρ patēr ὑμῶν hymōn ὁ ho ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς ouranois δώσει dōsei ἀγαθὰ agatha τοῖς tois αἰτοῦσιν aitousin αὐτόν. auton.

Therefore everything that you wish people to do for you, so also do you to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;

Πάντα Panta οὖν oun ὅσα hosa ἐὰν ean θέλητε thelēte ἵνα hina ποιῶσιν poiōsin ὑμῖν hymin οἱ hoi ἄνθρωποι, anthrōpoi, οὕτως houtōs καὶ kai ὑμεῖς hymeis ποιεῖτε poieite αὐτοῖς· autois· οὗτος houtos γάρ gar ἐστιν estin ὁ ho νόμος nomos καὶ kai οἱ hoi προφῆται. prophētai.

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it.

and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:

Εἰσέλθατε Eiselthate διὰ dia τῆς tēs στενῆς stenēs πύλης· pylēs· ὅτι hoti πλατεῖα plateia ἡ hē πύλη pylē καὶ kai εὐρύχωρος eurychōros ἡ hē ὁδὸς hodos ἡ hē ἀπάγουσα apagousa εἰς eis τὴν tēn ἀπώλειαν, apōleian, καὶ kai πολλοί polloi εἰσιν eisin οἱ hoi εἰσερχόμενοι eiserchomenoi δι' di' αὐτῆς· autēs·

How narrow is the gate and constricted the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it!

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

τί ti στενὴ stenē ἡ hē πύλη pylē καὶ kai τεθλιμμένη tethlimmenē ἡ hē ὁδὸς hodos ἡ hē ἀπάγουσα apagousa εἰς eis τὴν tēn ζωήν, zōēn, καὶ kai ὀλίγοι oligoi εἰσὶν eisin οἱ hoi εὑρίσκοντες heuriskontes αὐτήν. autēn.

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

Προσέχετε Prosechete ἀπὸ apo τῶν tōn ψευδοπροφητῶν, pseudoprophētōn, οἵτινες hoitines ἔρχονται erchontai πρὸς pros ὑμᾶς hymas ἐν en ἐνδύμασι endymasi προβάτων, probatōn, ἔσωθεν esōthen δέ de εἰσιν eisin λύκοι lykoi ἅρπαγες. harpages.

By their fruits you will recognize them. Do they gather grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

ἀπὸ apo τῶν tōn καρπῶν karpōn αὐτῶν autōn ἐπιγνώσεσθε epignōsesthe αὐτούς· autous· μήτι mēti συλλέγουσιν syllegousin ἀπὸ apo ἀκανθῶν akanthōn σταφυλὰς staphylas ἢ ē ἀπὸ apo τριβόλων tribolōn σῦκα; syka?

So every good tree bears good fruit, but the rotten tree bears bad fruit.

From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

οὕτως houtōs πᾶν pan δένδρον dendron ἀγαθὸν agathon καρποὺς karpous καλοὺς kalous ποιεῖ, poiei, τὸ to δὲ de σαπρὸν sapron δένδρον dendron καρποὺς karpous πονηροὺς ponērous ποιεῖ· poiei·

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.

οὐ ou δύναται dynatai δένδρον dendron ἀγαθὸν agathon καρποὺς karpous πονηροὺς ponērous ποιεῖν, poiein, οὐδὲ oude δένδρον dendron σαπρὸν sapron καρποὺς karpous καλοὺς kalous ποιεῖν. poiein.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

πᾶν pan δένδρον dendron μὴ mē ποιοῦν poioun καρπὸν karpon καλὸν kalon ἐκκόπτεται ekkoptetai καὶ kai εἰς eis πῦρ pyr βάλλεται. balletai.

So then, by their fruits you will recognize them.

And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.

ἄρα ara γε ge ἀπὸ apo τῶν tōn καρπῶν karpōn αὐτῶν autōn ἐπιγνώσεσθε epignōsesthe αὐτούς. autous.

Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of the heavens, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

Οὐ Ou πᾶς pas ὁ ho λέγων legōn μοι· moi· Κύριε Kyrie κύριε, kyrie, εἰσελεύσεται eiseleusetai εἰς eis τὴν tēn βασιλείαν basileian τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν, ouranōn, ἀλλ' all' ὁ ho ποιῶν poiōn τὸ to θέλημα thelēma τοῦ tou πατρός patros μου mou τοῦ tou ἐν en τοῖς tois οὐρανοῖς. ouranois.

Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name perform many mighty works?"

And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

πολλοὶ polloi ἐροῦσίν erousin μοι moi ἐν en ἐκείνῃ ekeinē τῇ tē ἡμέρᾳ· hēmera· Κύριε Kyrie κύριε, kyrie, οὐ ou τῷ tō σῷ sō ὀνόματι onomati ἐπροφητεύσαμεν, eprophēteusamen, καὶ kai τῷ tō σῷ sō ὀνόματι onomati δαιμόνια daimonia ἐξεβάλομεν, exebalomen, καὶ kai τῷ tō σῷ sō ὀνόματι onomati δυνάμεις dynameis πολλὰς pollas ἐποιήσαμεν; epoiēsamen?

And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."

And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.

καὶ kai τότε tote ὁμολογήσω homologēsō αὐτοῖς autois ὅτι hoti Οὐδέποτε Oudepote ἔγνων egnōn ὑμᾶς· hymas· ἀποχωρεῖτε apochōreite ἀπ' ap' ἐμοῦ emou οἱ hoi ἐργαζόμενοι ergazomenoi τὴν tēn ἀνομίαν. anomian.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be likened to a wise man who built his house upon the rock.

And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.

Πᾶς Pas οὖν oun ὅστις hostis ἀκούει akouei μου mou τοὺς tous λόγους logous τούτους toutous καὶ kai ποιεῖ poiei αὐτούς, autous, ὁμοιωθήσεται homoiōthēsetai ἀνδρὶ andri φρονίμῳ, phronimō, ὅστις hostis ᾠκοδόμησεν ōkodomēsen αὐτοῦ autou τὴν tēn οἰκίαν oikian ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn πέτραν. petran.

And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond the Jordan.

καὶ kai κατέβη katebē ἡ hē βροχὴ brochē καὶ kai ἦλθον ēlthon οἱ hoi ποταμοὶ potamoi καὶ kai ἔπνευσαν epneusan οἱ hoi ἄνεμοι anemoi καὶ kai προσέπεσαν prosepesan τῇ tē οἰκίᾳ oikia ἐκείνῃ, ekeinē, καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἔπεσεν, epesen, τεθεμελίωτο tethemeliōto γὰρ gar ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn πέτραν. petran.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.

καὶ kai πᾶς pas ὁ ho ἀκούων akouōn μου mou τοὺς tous λόγους logous τούτους toutous καὶ kai μὴ mē ποιῶν poiōn αὐτοὺς autous ὁμοιωθήσεται homoiōthēsetai ἀνδρὶ andri μωρῷ, mōrō, ὅστις hostis ᾠκοδόμησεν ōkodomēsen αὐτοῦ autou τὴν tēn οἰκίαν oikian ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn ἄμμον. ammon.

And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and struck against that house; and it fell — and great was its fall.

καὶ kai κατέβη katebē ἡ hē βροχὴ brochē καὶ kai ἦλθον ēlthon οἱ hoi ποταμοὶ potamoi καὶ kai ἔπνευσαν epneusan οἱ hoi ἄνεμοι anemoi καὶ kai προσέκοψαν prosekopsan τῇ tē οἰκίᾳ oikia ἐκείνῃ, ekeinē, καὶ kai ἔπεσεν, epesen, καὶ kai ἦν ēn ἡ hē πτῶσις ptōsis αὐτῆς autēs μεγάλη. megalē.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching;

Καὶ Kai ἐγένετο egeneto ὅτε hote ἐτέλεσεν etelesen ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous τοὺς tous λόγους logous τούτους, toutous, ἐξεπλήσσοντο exeplēssonto οἱ hoi ὄχλοι ochloi ἐπὶ epi τῇ tē διδαχῇ didachē αὐτοῦ· autou·

for he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

Chapter 13

Matthew 13 — The kingdom parables: Sower (Raëlian-canon panspermia site), Tares, Mustard Seed, Leaven, Hidden Treasure, Pearl, Net

On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:

Ἐν En τῇ tē ἡμέρᾳ hēmera ἐκείνῃ ekeinē ἐξελθὼν exelthōn ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous τῆς tēs οἰκίας oikias ἐκάθητο ekathēto παρὰ para τὴν tēn θάλασσαν· thalassan·

And great crowds were gathered to him, so that he got into a boat and sat down, and all the crowd stood on the shore.

and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

καὶ kai συνήχθησαν synēchthēsan πρὸς pros αὐτὸν auton ὄχλοι ochloi πολλοί, polloi, ὥστε hōste αὐτὸν auton εἰς eis πλοῖον ploion ἐμβάντα embanta καθῆσθαι, kathēsthai, καὶ kai πᾶς pas ὁ ho ὄχλος ochlos ἐπὶ epi τὸν ton αἰγιαλὸν aigialon εἱστήκει. heistēkei.

And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: "Behold, the sower went out to sow.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

καὶ kai ἐλάλησεν elalēsen αὐτοῖς autois πολλὰ polla ἐν en παραβολαῖς parabolais λέγων· legōn· Ἰδοὺ Idou ἐξῆλθεν exēlthen ὁ ho σπείρων speirōn τοῦ tou σπείρειν. speirein.

And as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

καὶ kai ἐν en τῷ tō σπείρειν speirein αὐτὸν auton ἃ ha μὲν men ἔπεσεν epesen παρὰ para τὴν tēn ὁδόν, hodon, καὶ kai ἐλθόντα elthonta τὰ ta πετεινὰ peteina κατέφαγεν katephagen αὐτά. auta.

Others fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

ἄλλα alla δὲ de ἔπεσεν epesen ἐπὶ epi τὰ ta πετρώδη petrōdē ὅπου hopou οὐκ ouk εἶχεν eichen γῆν gēn πολλήν, pollēn, καὶ kai εὐθέως eutheōs ἐξανέτειλεν exaneteilen διὰ dia τὸ to μὴ mē ἔχειν echein βάθος bathos γῆς. gēs.

But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

ἡλίου hēliou δὲ de ἀνατείλαντος anateilantos ἐκαυματίσθη ekaumatisthē καὶ kai διὰ dia τὸ to μὴ mē ἔχειν echein ῥίζαν rhizan ἐξηράνθη. exēranthē.

Others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

ἄλλα alla δὲ de ἔπεσεν epesen ἐπὶ epi τὰς tas ἀκάνθας, akanthas, καὶ kai ἀνέβησαν anebēsan αἱ hai ἄκανθαι akanthai καὶ kai ἀπέπνιξαν apepnixan αὐτά. auta.

And others fell upon the good soil and bore fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

ἄλλα alla δὲ de ἔπεσεν epesen ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn γῆν gēn τὴν tēn καλὴν kalēn καὶ kai ἐδίδου edidou καρπόν, karpon, ὃ ho μὲν men ἑκατὸν hekaton ὃ ho δὲ de ἑξήκοντα hexēkonta ὃ ho δὲ de τριάκοντα. triakonta.

Whoever has ears, let him hear."

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.

ὁ ho ἔχων echōn ὦτα ōta ἀκουέτω. akouetō.

And the disciples came and said to him: "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness` sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Καὶ Kai προσελθόντες proselthontes οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai εἶπαν eipan αὐτῷ· autō· Διὰ Dia τί ti ἐν en παραβολαῖς parabolais λαλεῖς laleis αὐτοῖς; autois?

And he answered and said to them: "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.

Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis εἶπεν eipen αὐτοῖς autois ὅτι hoti Ὑμῖν Hymin δέδοται dedotai γνῶναι gnōnai τὰ ta μυστήρια mystēria τῆς tēs βασιλείας basileias τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν, ouranōn, ἐκείνοις ekeinois δὲ de οὐ ou δέδοται. dedotai.

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.

ὅστις hostis γὰρ gar ἔχει, echei, δοθήσεται dothēsetai αὐτῷ autō καὶ kai περισσευθήσεται· perisseuthēsetai· ὅστις hostis δὲ de οὐκ ouk ἔχει, echei, καὶ kai ὃ ho ἔχει echei ἀρθήσεται arthēsetai ἀπ' ap' αὐτοῦ. autou.

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.

διὰ dia τοῦτο touto ἐν en παραβολαῖς parabolais αὐτοῖς autois λαλῶ, lalō, ὅτι hoti βλέποντες blepontes οὐ ou βλέπουσιν blepousin καὶ kai ἀκούοντες akouontes οὐκ ouk ἀκούουσιν akouousin οὐδὲ oude συνίουσιν· syniousin·

And in them is being fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: "Hearing you will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive.

Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.

καὶ kai ἀναπληροῦται anaplēroutai αὐτοῖς autois ἡ hē προφητεία prophēteia Ἠσαΐου Ēsaiou ἡ hē λέγουσα· legousa· Ἀκοῇ Akoē ἀκούσετε akousete καὶ kai οὐ ou μὴ mē συνῆτε, synēte, καὶ kai βλέποντες blepontes βλέψετε blepsete καὶ kai οὐ ou μὴ mē ἴδητε. idēte.

For the heart of this people has grown dull, and with their ears they barely heard, and they have closed their eyes — lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I should heal them."

Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.

ἐπαχύνθη epachynthē γὰρ gar ἡ hē καρδία kardia τοῦ tou λαοῦ laou τούτου, toutou, καὶ kai τοῖς tois ὠσὶν ōsin βαρέως bareōs ἤκουσαν, ēkousan, καὶ kai τοὺς tous ὀφθαλμοὺς ophthalmous αὐτῶν autōn ἐκάμμυσαν· ekammysan· μήποτε mēpote ἴδωσιν idōsin τοῖς tois ὀφθαλμοῖς ophthalmois καὶ kai τοῖς tois ὠσὶν ōsin ἀκούσωσιν akousōsin καὶ kai τῇ tē καρδίᾳ kardia συνῶσιν synōsin καὶ kai ἐπιστρέψωσιν, epistrepsōsin, καὶ kai ἰάσομαι iasomai αὐτούς. autous.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

ὑμῶν hymōn δὲ de μακάριοι makarioi οἱ hoi ὀφθαλμοὶ ophthalmoi ὅτι hoti βλέπουσιν, blepousin, καὶ kai τὰ ta ὦτα ōta ὑμῶν hymōn ὅτι hoti ἀκούουσιν. akouousin.

For amen I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it.

Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.

ἀμὴν amēn γὰρ gar λέγω legō ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti πολλοὶ polloi προφῆται prophētai καὶ kai δίκαιοι dikaioi ἐπεθύμησαν epethymēsan ἰδεῖν idein ἃ ha βλέπετε blepete καὶ kai οὐκ ouk εἶδαν, eidan, καὶ kai ἀκοῦσαι akousai ἃ ha ἀκούετε akouete καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἤκουσαν. ēkousan.

You therefore, hear the parable of the sower.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.

Ὑμεῖς Hymeis οὖν oun ἀκούσατε akousate τὴν tēn παραβολὴν parabolēn τοῦ tou σπείραντος. speirantos.

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart; this is the one sown beside the path.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

παντὸς pantos ἀκούοντος akouontos τὸν ton λόγον logon τῆς tēs βασιλείας basileias καὶ kai μὴ mē συνιέντος, synientos, ἔρχεται erchetai ὁ ho πονηρὸς ponēros καὶ kai ἁρπάζει harpazei τὸ to ἐσπαρμένον esparmenon ἐν en τῇ tē καρδίᾳ kardia αὐτοῦ· autou· οὗτός houtos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho παρὰ para τὴν tēn ὁδὸν hodon σπαρείς. spareis.

And the one sown on the rocky ground — this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,

For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἐπὶ epi τὰ ta πετρώδη petrōdē σπαρείς, spareis, οὗτός houtos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho τὸν ton λόγον logon ἀκούων akouōn καὶ kai εὐθὺς euthys μετὰ meta χαρᾶς charas λαμβάνων lambanōn αὐτόν· auton·

yet has no root in himself but is temporary, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately falls away.

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

οὐκ ouk ἔχει echei δὲ de ῥίζαν rhizan ἐν en ἑαυτῷ heautō ἀλλὰ alla πρόσκαιρός proskairos ἐστιν, estin, γενομένης genomenēs δὲ de θλίψεως thlipseōs ἢ ē διωγμοῦ diōgmou διὰ dia τὸν ton λόγον logon εὐθὺς euthys σκανδαλίζεται. skandalizetai.

And the one sown into the thorns — this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of the age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.

ὁ ho δὲ de εἰς eis τὰς tas ἀκάνθας akanthas σπαρείς, spareis, οὗτός houtos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho τὸν ton λόγον logon ἀκούων akouōn καὶ kai ἡ hē μέριμνα merimna τοῦ tou αἰῶνος aiōnos καὶ kai ἡ hē ἀπάτη apatē τοῦ tou πλούτου ploutou συμπνίγει sympnigei τὸν ton λόγον, logon, καὶ kai ἄκαρπος akarpos γίνεται. ginetai.

But the one sown on the good soil — this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,

ὁ ho δὲ de ἐπὶ epi τὴν tēn καλὴν kalēn γῆν gēn σπαρείς, spareis, οὗτός houtos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho τὸν ton λόγον logon ἀκούων akouōn καὶ kai συνιείς, syniēis, ὃς hos δὴ dē καρποφορεῖ karpophorei καὶ kai ποιεῖ poiei ὃ ho μὲν men ἑκατὸν hekaton ὃ ho δὲ de ἑξήκοντα hexēkonta ὃ ho δὲ de τριάκοντα. triakonta.

He set before them another parable, saying: "The kingdom of the heavens has been likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel-weeds among the wheat and went away.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

But when the blade sprouted and bore fruit, then the darnel also appeared.

Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.

ὅτε hote δὲ de ἐβλάστησεν eblastēsen ὁ ho χόρτος chortos καὶ kai καρπὸν karpon ἐποίησεν, epoiēsen, τότε tote ἐφάνη ephanē καὶ kai τὰ ta ζιζάνια. zizania.

And the householder's slaves came and said to him: "Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then has it got darnel?"

Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

προσελθόντες proselthontes δὲ de οἱ hoi δοῦλοι douloi τοῦ tou οἰκοδεσπότου oikodespotou εἶπον eipon αὐτῷ· autō· Κύριε, Kyrie, οὐχὶ ouchi καλὸν kalon σπέρμα sperma ἔσπειρας espeiras ἐν en τῷ tō σῷ sō ἀγρῷ; agrō? πόθεν pothen οὖν oun ἔχει echei ζιζάνια; zizania?

And he said to them: "An enemy has done this." And the slaves said to him: "Do you wish then that we go and gather them?"

but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἔφη ephē αὐτοῖς· autois· Ἐχθρὸς Echthros ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos τοῦτο touto ἐποίησεν. epoiēsen. οἱ hoi δὲ de δοῦλοι douloi λέγουσιν legousin αὐτῷ· autō· Θέλεις Theleis οὖν oun ἀπελθόντες apelthontes συλλέξωμεν syllexōmen αὐτά; auta?

But he said: "No, lest in gathering the darnel you uproot the wheat together with it.

And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, 'Gather first the darnel and bind it into bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell.

He set before them another parable, saying: "The kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field,

It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Ἄλλην Allēn παραβολὴν parabolēn παρέθηκεν parethēken αὐτοῖς autois λέγων· legōn· Ὁμοία Homoia ἐστὶν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn κόκκῳ kokkō σινάπεως, sinapeōs, ὃν hon λαβὼν labōn ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos ἔσπειρεν espeiren ἐν en τῷ tō ἀγρῷ agrō αὐτοῦ· autou·

which is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown is greater than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.

but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.

He spoke to them another parable: "The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."

Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Ἄλλην Allēn παραβολὴν parabolēn ἐλάλησεν elalēsen αὐτοῖς· autois· Ὁμοία Homoia ἐστὶν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn ζύμῃ, zymē, ἣν hēn λαβοῦσα labousa γυνὴ gynē ἐνέκρυψεν enekrypsen εἰς eis ἀλεύρου aleurou σάτα sata τρία tria ἕως heōs οὗ hou ἐζυμώθη ezymōthē ὅλον. holon.

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he spoke nothing to them,

but I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

ταῦτα tauta πάντα panta ἐλάλησεν elalēsen ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous ἐν en παραβολαῖς parabolais τοῖς tois ὄχλοις, ochlois, καὶ kai χωρὶς chōris παραβολῆς parabolēs οὐδὲν ouden ἐλάλει elalei αὐτοῖς· autois·

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden from the foundation."

nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Then leaving the crowds, he went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying: "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field."

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

And he answered and said: "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].

ὁ ho δὲ de ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis εἶπεν· eipen· Ὁ Ho σπείρων speirōn τὸ to καλὸν kalon σπέρμα sperma ἐστὶν estin ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου· anthrōpou·

The field is the world; the good seed — these are the sons of the kingdom; the darnel are the sons of the evil one,

Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

ὁ ho δὲ de ἀγρός agros ἐστιν estin ὁ ho κόσμος· kosmos· τὸ to δὲ de καλὸν kalon σπέρμα, sperma, οὗτοί houtoi εἰσιν eisin οἱ hoi υἱοὶ huioi τῆς tēs βασιλείας· basileias· τὰ ta δὲ de ζιζάνιά zizania εἰσιν eisin οἱ hoi υἱοὶ huioi τοῦ tou πονηροῦ, ponērou,

and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels.

but I say unto you, resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἐχθρὸς echthros ὁ ho σπείρας speiras αὐτά auta ἐστιν estin ὁ ho διάβολος· diabolos· ὁ ho δὲ de θερισμὸς therismos συντέλεια synteleia αἰῶνός aiōnos ἐστιν, estin, οἱ hoi δὲ de θερισταὶ theristai ἄγγελοί angeloi εἰσιν. eisin.

Therefore as the darnel is gathered and burned with fire, so it shall be at the consummation of the age.

And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

ὥσπερ hōsper οὖν oun συλλέγεται syllegetai τὰ ta ζιζάνια zizania καὶ kai πυρὶ pyri κατακαίεται, katakaietai, οὕτως houtōs ἔσται estai ἐν en τῇ tē συντελείᾳ synteleia τοῦ tou αἰῶνος. aiōnos.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of offense and those who do lawlessness,

And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.

ἀποστελεῖ apostelei ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou τοὺς tous ἀγγέλους angelous αὐτοῦ, autou, καὶ kai συλλέξουσιν syllexousin ἐκ ek τῆς tēs βασιλείας basileias αὐτοῦ autou πάντα panta τὰ ta σκάνδαλα skandala καὶ kai τοὺς tous ποιοῦντας poiountas τὴν tēn ἀνομίαν, anomian,

and will throw them into the furnace of fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

καὶ kai βαλοῦσιν balousin αὐτοὺς autous εἰς eis τὴν tēn κάμινον kaminon τοῦ tou πυρός· puros· ἐκεῖ ekei ἔσται estai ὁ ho κλαυθμὸς klauthmos καὶ kai ὁ ho βρυγμὸς brygmos τῶν tōn ὀδόντων. odontōn.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let him hear.

Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:

τότε tote οἱ hoi δίκαιοι dikaioi ἐκλάμψουσιν eklampsousin ὡς hōs ὁ ho ἥλιος hēlios ἐν en τῇ tē βασιλείᾳ basileia τοῦ tou πατρὸς patros αὐτῶν. autōn. ὁ ho ἔχων echōn ὦτα ōta ἀκουέτω. akouetō.

The kingdom of the heavens is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;

Ὁμοία Homoia ἐστὶν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn θησαυρῷ thēsaurō κεκρυμμένῳ kekrymmenō ἐν en τῷ tō ἀγρῷ, agrō, ὃν hon εὑρὼν heurōn ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos ἔκρυψεν, ekrypsen, καὶ kai ἀπὸ apo τῆς tēs χαρᾶς charas αὐτοῦ autou ὑπάγει hypagei καὶ kai πωλεῖ pōlei πάντα panta ὅσα hosa ἔχει echei καὶ kai ἀγοράζει agorazei τὸν ton ἀγρὸν agron ἐκεῖνον. ekeinon.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking fine pearls;

that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.

Πάλιν Palin ὁμοία homoia ἐστὶν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn ἀνθρώπῳ anthrōpō ἐμπόρῳ emporō ζητοῦντι zētounti καλοὺς kalous μαργαρίτας· margaritas·

and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

εὑρὼν heurōn δὲ de ἕνα hena πολύτιμον polytimon μαργαρίτην margaritēn ἀπελθὼν apelthōn πέπρακεν pepraken πάντα panta ὅσα hosa εἶχεν eichen καὶ kai ἠγόρασεν ēgorasen αὐτόν. auton.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet cast into the sea and gathering of every kind,

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the Gentiles the same?

Πάλιν Palin ὁμοία homoia ἐστὶν estin ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn σαγήνῃ sagēnē βληθείσῃ blētheisē εἰς eis τὴν tēn θάλασσαν thalassan καὶ kai ἐκ ek παντὸς pantos γένους genous συναγαγούσῃ· synagagousē·

which, when it was full, they drew up onto the shore, and sitting down they gathered the good into vessels but threw the bad away.

Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

So it shall be at the consummation of the age. The angels shall go out and separate the evil from among the righteous,

οὕτως houtōs ἔσται estai ἐν en τῇ tē συντελείᾳ synteleia τοῦ tou αἰῶνος· aiōnos· ἐξελεύσονται exeleusontai οἱ hoi ἄγγελοι angeloi καὶ kai ἀφοριοῦσιν aphoriousin τοὺς tous πονηροὺς ponērous ἐκ ek μέσου mesou τῶν tōn δικαίων dikaiōn

and shall throw them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Have you understood all these things?" They said to him, "Yes."

Συνήκατε Synēkate ταῦτα tauta πάντα; panta? λέγουσιν legousin αὐτῷ· autō· Ναί. Nai.

And he said to them: "Therefore every scribe who has been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

ὁ ho δὲ de εἶπεν eipen αὐτοῖς· autois· Διὰ Dia τοῦτο touto πᾶς pas γραμματεὺς grammateus μαθητευθεὶς mathēteutheis τῇ tē βασιλείᾳ basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn ὅμοιός homoios ἐστιν estin ἀνθρώπῳ anthrōpō οἰκοδεσπότῃ oikodespotē ὅστις hostis ἐκβάλλει ekballei ἐκ ek τοῦ tou θησαυροῦ thēsaurou αὐτοῦ autou καινὰ kaina καὶ kai παλαιά. palaia.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

Καὶ Kai ἐγένετο egeneto ὅτε hote ἐτέλεσεν etelesen ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous τὰς tas παραβολὰς parabolas ταύτας, tautas, μετῆρεν metēren ἐκεῖθεν. ekeithen.

And coming into his native town, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said: "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them: "A prophet is not without honor, except in his native town and in his own household."

And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

Chapter 17

Matthew 17 — The Transfiguration + the demoniac boy + the temple-tax

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up onto a high mountain by themselves.

Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

Καὶ Kai μεθ' meth' ἡμέρας hēmeras ἓξ hex παραλαμβάνει paralambanei ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous τὸν ton Πέτρον Petron καὶ kai Ἰάκωβον Iakōbon καὶ kai Ἰωάννην Iōannēn τὸν ton ἀδελφὸν adelphon αὐτοῦ, autou, καὶ kai ἀναφέρει anapherei αὐτοὺς autous εἰς eis ὄρος oros ὑψηλὸν hypsēlon κατ' kat' ἰδίαν. idian.

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

καὶ kai μετεμορφώθη metemorphōthē ἔμπροσθεν emprosthen αὐτῶν, autōn, καὶ kai ἔλαμψεν elampsen τὸ to πρόσωπον prosōpon αὐτοῦ autou ὡς hōs ὁ ho ἥλιος, hēlios, τὰ ta δὲ de ἱμάτια himatia αὐτοῦ autou ἐγένετο egeneto λευκὰ leuka ὡς hōs τὸ to φῶς. phōs.

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou ὤφθη ōphthē αὐτοῖς autois Μωϋσῆς Mōusēs καὶ kai Ἠλίας Ēlias συλλαλοῦντες syllalountes μετ' met' αὐτοῦ. autou.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus: "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will make here three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis δὲ de ὁ ho Πέτρος Petros εἶπεν eipen τῷ tō Ἰησοῦ· Iēsou· Κύριε, Kyrie, καλόν kalon ἐστιν estin ἡμᾶς hēmas ὧδε hōde εἶναι· einai· εἰ ei θέλεις, theleis, ποιήσω poiēsō ὧδε hōde τρεῖς treis σκηνάς, skēnas, σοὶ soi μίαν mian καὶ kai Μωϋσεῖ Mōusei μίαν mian καὶ kai Ἠλίᾳ Ēlia μίαν. mian.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him."

And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

ἔτι eti αὐτοῦ autou λαλοῦντος lalountos ἰδοὺ idou νεφέλη nephelē φωτεινὴ phōteinē ἐπεσκίασεν epeskiasen αὐτούς, autous, καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou φωνὴ phōnē ἐκ ek τῆς tēs νεφέλης nephelēs λέγουσα· legousa· Οὗτός Houtos ἐστιν estin ὁ ho υἱός huios μου mou ὁ ho ἀγαπητός, agapētos, ἐν en ᾧ hō εὐδόκησα· eudokēsa· ἀκούετε akouete αὐτοῦ. autou.

And when the disciples heard, they fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

καὶ kai ἀκούσαντες akousantes οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai ἔπεσαν epesan ἐπὶ epi πρόσωπον prosōpon αὐτῶν autōn καὶ kai ἐφοβήθησαν ephobēthēsan σφόδρα. sphodra.

And Jesus came and touched them, saying: "Rise up, and do not be afraid."

And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

καὶ kai προσῆλθεν prosēlthen ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous καὶ kai ἁψάμενος hapsamenos αὐτῶν autōn εἶπεν· eipen· Ἐγέρθητε Egerthēte καὶ kai μὴ mē φοβεῖσθε. phobeisthe.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

ἐπάραντες eparantes δὲ de τοὺς tous ὀφθαλμοὺς ophthalmous αὐτῶν autōn οὐδένα oudena εἶδον eidon εἰ ei μὴ mē αὐτὸν auton Ἰησοῦν Iēsoun μόνον. monon.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying: "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

After this manner therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

καὶ kai καταβαινόντων katabainontōn αὐτῶν autōn ἐκ ek τοῦ tou ὄρους orous ἐνετείλατο eneteilato αὐτοῖς autois ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous λέγων· legōn· Μηδενὶ Mēdeni εἴπητε eipēte τὸ to ὅραμα horama ἕως heōs οὗ hou ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou ἐκ ek νεκρῶν nekrōn ἐγερθῇ. egerthē.

And his disciples asked him, saying: "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

καὶ kai ἐπηρώτησαν epērōtēsan αὐτὸν auton οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai λέγοντες· legontes· Τί Ti οὖν oun οἱ hoi γραμματεῖς grammateis λέγουσιν legousin ὅτι hoti Ἠλίαν Ēlian δεῖ dei ἐλθεῖν elthein πρῶτον; prōton;

And he answered and said: "Elijah indeed is coming and will restore all things;

Give us this day our daily bread.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis εἶπεν· eipen· Ἠλίας Ēlias μὲν men ἔρχεται erchetai καὶ kai ἀποκαταστήσει apokatastēsei πάντα· panta·

but I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished; so also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands."

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

λέγω legō δὲ de ὑμῖν hymin ὅτι hoti Ἠλίας Ēlias ἤδη ēdē ἦλθεν, ēlthen, καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἐπέγνωσαν epegnōsan αὐτὸν auton ἀλλὰ alla ἐποίησαν epoiēsan ἐν en αὐτῷ autō ὅσα hosa ἠθέλησαν· ēthelēsan· οὕτως houtōs καὶ kai ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou μέλλει mellei πάσχειν paschein ὑπ' hyp' αὐτῶν. autōn.

Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one.]

τότε tote συνῆκαν synēkan οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai ὅτι hoti περὶ peri Ἰωάννου Iōannou τοῦ tou βαπτιστοῦ baptistou εἶπεν eipen αὐτοῖς. autois.

And when they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling before him,

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Καὶ Kai ἐλθόντων elthontōn πρὸς pros τὸν ton ὄχλον ochlon προσῆλθεν prosēlthen αὐτῷ autō ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos γονυπετῶν gonypetōn αὐτὸν auton

and saying: "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is moon-struck and suffers grievously; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

καὶ kai λέγων· legōn· Κύριε, Kyrie, ἐλέησόν eleēson μου mou τὸν ton υἱόν, huion, ὅτι hoti σεληνιάζεται selēniazetai καὶ kai κακῶς kakōs πάσχει· paschei· πολλάκις pollakis γὰρ gar πίπτει piptei εἰς eis τὸ to πῦρ pyr καὶ kai πολλάκις pollakis εἰς eis τὸ to ὕδωρ. hydōr.

And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

καὶ kai προσήνεγκα prosēnegka αὐτὸν auton τοῖς tois μαθηταῖς mathētais σου, sou, καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἠδυνήθησαν ēdynēthēsan αὐτὸν auton θεραπεῦσαι. therapeusai.

And Jesus answered and said: "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;

ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis δὲ de ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous εἶπεν· eipen· Ὦ Ō γενεὰ genea ἄπιστος apistos καὶ kai διεστραμμένη, diestrammenē, ἕως heōs πότε pote μεθ' meth' ὑμῶν hymōn ἔσομαι; esomai; ἕως heōs πότε pote ἀνέξομαι anexomai ὑμῶν; hymōn; φέρετέ pherete μοι moi αὐτὸν auton ὧδε. hōde.

And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon came out of him; and the boy was healed from that hour.

that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.

καὶ kai ἐπετίμησεν epetimēsen αὐτῷ autō ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous, καὶ kai ἐξῆλθεν exēlthen ἀπ' ap' αὐτοῦ autou τὸ to δαιμόνιον· daimonion· καὶ kai ἐθεραπεύθη etherapeuthē ὁ ho παῖς pais ἀπὸ apo τῆς tēs ὥρας hōras ἐκείνης. ekeinēs.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said: "Why could we not cast it out?"

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:

Τότε Tote προσελθόντες proselthontes οἱ hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai τῷ tō Ἰησοῦ Iēsou κατ' kat' ἰδίαν idian εἶπον· eipon· Διὰ Dia τί ti ἡμεῖς hēmeis οὐκ ouk ἠδυνήθημεν ēdynēthēmen ἐκβαλεῖν ekbalein αὐτό; auto;

And he said to them: "Because of your little faith. For amen I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

ὁ ho δὲ de λέγει legei αὐτοῖς· autois· Διὰ Dia τὴν tēn ὀλιγοπιστίαν oligopistian ὑμῶν· hymōn· ἀμὴν amēn γὰρ gar λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἐὰν ean ἔχητε echēte πίστιν pistin ὡς hōs κόκκον kokkon σινάπεως, sinapeōs, ἐρεῖτε ereite τῷ tō ὄρει orei τούτῳ· toutō· Μετάβα Metaba ἔνθεν enthen ἐκεῖ, ekei, καὶ kai μεταβήσεται, metabēsetai, καὶ kai οὐδὲν ouden ἀδυνατήσει adynatēsei ὑμῖν. hymin.

[But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]

for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.

[Τοῦτο [Touto δὲ de τὸ to γένος genos οὐκ ouk ἐκπορεύεται ekporeuetai εἰ ei μὴ mē ἐν en προσευχῇ proseuchē καὶ kai νηστείᾳ.] nēsteia.]

And as they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: "The Son of Man is about to be handed over into the hands of men,

The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Συστρεφομένων Systrephomenōn δὲ de αὐτῶν autōn ἐν en τῇ tē Γαλιλαίᾳ Galilaia εἶπεν eipen αὐτοῖς autois ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous· Μέλλει Mellei ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou παραδίδοσθαι paradidosthai εἰς eis χεῖρας cheiras ἀνθρώπων, anthrōpōn,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were exceedingly grieved.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!

καὶ kai ἀποκτενοῦσιν apoktenousin αὐτόν, auton, καὶ kai τῇ tē τρίτῃ tritē ἡμέρᾳ hēmera ἐγερθήσεται. egerthēsetai. καὶ kai ἐλυπήθησαν elypēthēsan σφόδρα. sphodra.

And when they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said: "Does not your teacher pay the two-drachma tax?"

No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Ἐλθόντων Elthontōn δὲ de αὐτῶν autōn εἰς eis Καφαρναοὺμ Kapharnaoum προσῆλθον prosēlthon οἱ hoi τὰ ta δίδραχμα didrachma λαμβάνοντες lambanontes τῷ tō Πέτρῳ Petrō καὶ kai εἶπαν· eipan· Ὁ Ho διδάσκαλος didaskalos ὑμῶν hymōn οὐ ou τελεῖ telei τὰ ta δίδραχμα; didrachma;

He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying: "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or tribute? From their own sons, or from strangers?"

Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?

λέγει· legei· Ναί.

And when he said, "From strangers," Jesus said to him: "Then the sons are free.

Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?

εἰπόντος eipontos δέ· de· Ἀπὸ Apo τῶν tōn ἀλλοτρίων, allotriōn, ἔφη ephē αὐτῷ autō ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous· Ἄρα Ara γε ge ἐλεύθεροί eleutheroi εἰσιν eisin οἱ hoi υἱοί. huioi.

But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater. Take that and give it to them for me and yourself."

And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?

Chapter 25

Matthew 25 — Ten Virgins + Talents + Sheep and Goats (the final judgment)

Then the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Τότε Tote ὁμοιωθήσεται homoiōthēsetai ἡ hē βασιλεία basileia τῶν tōn οὐρανῶν ouranōn δέκα deka παρθένοις, parthenois, αἵτινες haitines λαβοῦσαι labousai τὰς tas λαμπάδας lampadas ἑαυτῶν heautōn ἐξῆλθον exēlthon εἰς eis ὑπάντησιν hypantēsin τοῦ tou νυμφίου. nymphiou.

And five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.

πέντε pente δὲ de ἐξ ex αὐτῶν autōn ἦσαν ēsan μωραὶ mōrai καὶ kai πέντε pente φρόνιμοι. phronimoi.

For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them;

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother`s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

αἱ hai γὰρ gar μωραὶ mōrai λαβοῦσαι labousai τὰς tas λαμπάδας lampadas αὐτῶν autōn οὐκ ouk ἔλαβον elabon μεθ' meth' ἑαυτῶν heautōn ἔλαιον· elaion·

but the prudent took oil in their flasks along with their lamps.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?

αἱ hai δὲ de φρόνιμοι phronimoi ἔλαβον elabon ἔλαιον elaion ἐν en τοῖς tois ἀγγείοις angeiois μετὰ meta τῶν tōn λαμπάδων lampadōn ἑαυτῶν. heautōn.

And while the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother`s eye.

χρονίζοντος chronizontos δὲ de τοῦ tou νυμφίου nymphiou ἐνύσταξαν enystaxan πᾶσαι pasai καὶ kai ἐκάθευδον. ekatheudon.

But at midnight there came a cry: "Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him."

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.

μέσης mesēs δὲ de νυκτὸς nyktos κραυγὴ kraugē γέγονεν· gegonen· Ἰδοὺ Idou ὁ ho νυμφίος, nymphios, ἐξέρχεσθε exerchesthe εἰς eis ἀπάντησιν. apantēsin.

Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

τότε tote ἠγέρθησαν ēgerthēsan πᾶσαι pasai αἱ hai παρθένοι parthenoi ἐκεῖναι ekeinai καὶ kai ἐκόσμησαν ekosmēsan τὰς tas λαμπάδας lampadas ἑαυτῶν. heautōn.

And the foolish said to the prudent, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out."

for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

αἱ hai δὲ de μωραὶ mōrai ταῖς tais φρονίμοις phronimois εἶπαν· eipan· Δότε Dote ἡμῖν hēmin ἐκ ek τοῦ tou ἐλαίου elaiou ὑμῶν, hymōn, ὅτι hoti αἱ hai λαμπάδες lampades ἡμῶν hēmōn σβέννυνται. sbennyntai.

But the prudent answered, saying, "There will not be enough for us and for you. Go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves."

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;

ἀπεκρίθησαν apekrithēsan δὲ de αἱ hai φρόνιμοι phronimoi λέγουσαι· legousai· Μήποτε Mēpote οὐ ou μὴ mē ἀρκέσῃ arkesē ἡμῖν hēmin καὶ kai ὑμῖν· hymin· πορεύεσθε poreuesthe μᾶλλον mallon πρὸς pros τοὺς tous πωλοῦντας pōlountas καὶ kai ἀγοράσατε agorasate ἑαυταῖς. heautais.

And while they were going off to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

ἀπερχομένων aperchomenōn δὲ de αὐτῶν autōn ἀγοράσαι agorasai ἦλθεν ēlthen ὁ ho νυμφίος, nymphios, καὶ kai αἱ hai ἕτοιμοι hetoimoi εἰσῆλθον eisēlthon μετ' met' αὐτοῦ autou εἰς eis τοὺς tous γάμους, gamous, καὶ kai ἐκλείσθη ekleisthē ἡ hē θύρα. thyra.

Later, the other virgins also came, saying, "Lord, lord, open to us."

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

ὕστερον hysteron δὲ de ἔρχονται erchontai καὶ kai αἱ hai λοιπαὶ loipai παρθένοι parthenoi λέγουσαι· legousai· Κύριε Kyrie κύριε, kyrie, ἄνοιξον anoixon ἡμῖν. hēmin.

But he answered, saying, "Amen I say to you, I do not know you."

All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

ὁ ho δὲ de ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis εἶπεν· eipen· Ἀμὴν Amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, οὐκ ouk οἶδα oida ὑμᾶς. hymas.

Keep watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.

γρηγορεῖτε grēgoreite οὖν, oun, ὅτι hoti οὐκ ouk οἴδατε oidate τὴν tēn ἡμέραν hēmeran οὐδὲ oude τὴν tēn ὥραν. hōran.

For it is just as when a man going on a journey called his own servants and entrusted to them his possessions.

For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.

Ὥσπερ Hōsper γὰρ gar ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos ἀποδημῶν apodēmōn ἐκάλεσεν ekalesen τοὺς tous ἰδίους idious δούλους doulous καὶ kai παρέδωκεν paredōken αὐτοῖς autois τὰ ta ὑπάρχοντα hyparchonta αὐτοῦ, autou,

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. At once

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep`s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

καὶ kai ᾧ hō μὲν men ἔδωκεν edōken πέντε pente τάλαντα talanta ᾧ hō δὲ de δύο dyo ᾧ hō δὲ de ἕν, hen, ἑκάστῳ hekastō κατὰ kata τὴν tēn ἰδίαν idian δύναμιν, dynamin, καὶ kai ἀπεδήμησεν. apedēmēsen. εὐθέως eutheōs

the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them and gained another five.

By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

πορευθεὶς poreutheis ὁ ho τὰ ta πέντε pente τάλαντα talanta λαβὼν labōn ἠργάσατο ērgasato ἐν en αὐτοῖς autois καὶ kai ἐκέρδησεν ekerdēsen ἄλλα alla πέντε· pente·

Likewise the one who had the two gained another two.

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

ὡσαύτως hōsautōs ὁ ho τὰ ta δύο dyo ἐκέρδησεν ekerdēsen ἄλλα alla δύο· dyo·

But the one who had received the one went off and dug in the ground and hid his master's silver.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

ὁ ho δὲ de τὸ to ἓν hen λαβὼν labōn ἀπελθὼν apelthōn ὤρυξεν ōryxen γῆν gēn καὶ kai ἔκρυψεν ekrypsen τὸ to ἀργύριον argyrion τοῦ tou κυρίου kyriou αὐτοῦ. autou.

Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

μετὰ meta δὲ de πολὺν polyn χρόνον chronon ἔρχεται erchetai ὁ ho κύριος kyrios τῶν tōn δούλων doulōn ἐκείνων ekeinōn καὶ kai συναίρει synairei λόγον logon μετ' met' αὐτῶν autōn

And the one who had received the five talents came forward and brought another five talents, saying, "Master, you entrusted to me five talents; see, I have gained another five talents."

Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

καὶ kai προσελθὼν proselthōn ὁ ho τὰ ta πέντε pente τάλαντα talanta λαβὼν labōn προσήνεγκεν prosēnegken ἄλλα alla πέντε pente τάλαντα talanta λέγων· legōn· Κύριε, Kyrie, πέντε pente τάλαντά talanta μοι moi παρέδωκας· paredōkas· ἴδε ide ἄλλα alla πέντε pente τάλαντα talanta ἐκέρδησα. ekerdēsa.

His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your master."

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

ἔφη ephē αὐτῷ autō ὁ ho κύριος kyrios αὐτοῦ· autou· Εὖ, Eu, δοῦλε doule ἀγαθὲ agathe καὶ kai πιστέ, piste, ἐπὶ epi ὀλίγα oliga ἦς ēs πιστός, pistos, ἐπὶ epi πολλῶν pollōn σε se καταστήσω· katastēsō· εἴσελθε eiselthe εἰς eis τὴν tēn χαρὰν charan τοῦ tou κυρίου kyriou σου. sou.

The one who had received the two talents also came forward and said, "Master, you entrusted to me two talents; see, I have gained another two talents."

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

προσελθὼν proselthōn δὲ de καὶ kai ὁ ho τὰ ta δύο dyo τάλαντα talanta εἶπεν· eipen· Κύριε, Kyrie, δύο dyo τάλαντά talanta μοι moi παρέδωκας· paredōkas· ἴδε ide ἄλλα alla δύο dyo τάλαντα talanta ἐκέρδησα. ekerdēsa.

His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your master."

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward and said, "Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter;

Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:

προσελθὼν proselthōn δὲ de καὶ kai ὁ ho τὸ to ἓν hen τάλαντον talanton εἰληφὼς eilēphōs εἶπεν· eipen· Κύριε, Kyrie, ἔγνων egnōn σε se ὅτι hoti σκληρὸς sklēros εἶ ei ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, θερίζων therizōn ὅπου hopou οὐκ ouk ἔσπειρας espeiras καὶ kai συνάγων synagōn ὅθεν hothen οὐ ou διεσκόρπισας· dieskorpisas·

and being afraid, I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours."

and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.

καὶ kai φοβηθεὶς phobētheis ἀπελθὼν apelthōn ἔκρυψα ekrypsa τὸ to τάλαντόν talanton σου sou ἐν en τῇ tē γῇ· gē· ἴδε ide ἔχεις echeis τὸ to σόν. son.

But his master answered him, saying, "Wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter?

And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis δὲ de ὁ ho κύριος kyrios αὐτοῦ autou εἶπεν eipen αὐτῷ· autō· Πονηρὲ Ponēre δοῦλε doule καὶ kai ὀκνηρέ, oknēre, ᾔδεις ēdeis ὅτι hoti θερίζω therizō ὅπου hopou οὐκ ouk ἔσπειρα espeira καὶ kai συνάγω synagō ὅθεν hothen οὐ ou διεσκόρπισα; dieskorpisa;

You ought, then, to have put my silver with the bankers, and on my coming I would have received back what was mine with interest.

and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

ἔδει edei σε se οὖν oun βαλεῖν balein τὰ ta ἀργύριά argyria μου mou τοῖς tois τραπεζίταις, trapezitais, καὶ kai ἐλθὼν elthōn ἐγὼ egō ἐκομισάμην ekomisamēn ἂν an τὸ to ἐμὸν emon σὺν syn τόκῳ. tokō.

Take therefore the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

ἄρατε arate οὖν oun ἀπ' ap' αὐτοῦ autou τὸ to τάλαντον talanton καὶ kai δότε dote τῷ tō ἔχοντι echonti τὰ ta δέκα deka τάλαντα· talanta·

For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

for he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as their scribes.

τῷ tō γὰρ gar ἔχοντι echonti παντὶ panti δοθήσεται dothēsetai καὶ kai περισσευθήσεται· perisseuthēsetai· τοῦ tou δὲ de μὴ mē ἔχοντος echontos καὶ kai ὃ ho ἔχει echei ἀρθήσεται arthēsetai ἀπ' ap' αὐτοῦ. autou.

And cast the useless servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

καὶ kai τὸν ton ἀχρεῖον achreion δοῦλον doulon ἐκβάλετε ekbalete εἰς eis τὸ to σκότος skotos τὸ to ἐξώτερον· exōteron· ἐκεῖ ekei ἔσται estai ὁ ho κλαυθμὸς klauthmos καὶ kai ὁ ho βρυγμὸς brygmos τῶν tōn ὀδόντων. odontōn.

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

Ὅταν Hotan δὲ de ἔλθῃ elthē ὁ ho υἱὸς huios τοῦ tou ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou ἐν en τῇ tē δόξῃ doxē αὐτοῦ autou καὶ kai πάντες pantes οἱ hoi ἄγγελοι angeloi μετ' met' αὐτοῦ, autou, τότε tote καθίσει kathisei ἐπὶ epi θρόνου thronou δόξης doxēs αὐτοῦ· autou·

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

καὶ kai συναχθήσονται synachthēsontai ἔμπροσθεν emprosthen αὐτοῦ autou πάντα panta τὰ ta ἔθνη, ethnē, καὶ kai ἀφορίσει aphorisei αὐτοὺς autous ἀπ' ap' ἀλλήλων, allēlōn, ὥσπερ hōsper ὁ ho ποιμὴν poimēn ἀφορίζει aphorizei τὰ ta πρόβατα probata ἀπὸ apo τῶν tōn ἐρίφων, eriphōn,

And he will set the sheep at his right hand, and the goats at the left.

καὶ kai στήσει stēsei τὰ ta μὲν men πρόβατα probata ἐκ ek δεξιῶν dexiōn αὐτοῦ autou τὰ ta δὲ de ἐρίφια eriphia ἐξ ex εὐωνύμων. euōnymōn.

Then the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you who are blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

τότε tote ἐρεῖ erei ὁ ho βασιλεὺς basileus τοῖς tois ἐκ ek δεξιῶν dexiōn αὐτοῦ· autou· Δεῦτε, Deute, οἱ hoi εὐλογημένοι eulogēmenoi τοῦ tou πατρός patros μου, mou, κληρονομήσατε klēronomēsate τὴν tēn ἡτοιμασμένην hētoimasmenēn ὑμῖν hymin βασιλείαν basileian ἀπὸ apo καταβολῆς katabolēs κόσμου. kosmou.

For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;

ἐπείνασα epeinasa γὰρ gar καὶ kai ἐδώκατέ edōkate μοι moi φαγεῖν, phagein, ἐδίψησα edipsēsa καὶ kai ἐποτίσατέ epotisate με, me, ξένος xenos ἤμην ēmēn καὶ kai συνηγάγετέ synēgagete με, me,

naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me."

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

τότε tote ἀποκριθήσονται apokrithēsontai αὐτῷ autō οἱ hoi δίκαιοι dikaioi λέγοντες· legontes· Κύριε, Kyrie, πότε pote σε se εἴδομεν eidomen πεινῶντα peinōnta καὶ kai ἐθρέψαμεν, ethrepsamen, ἢ ē διψῶντα dipsōnta καὶ kai ἐποτίσαμεν; epotisamen;

And when did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?

πότε pote δέ de σε se εἴδομεν eidomen ξένον xenon καὶ kai συνηγάγομεν, synēgagomen, ἢ ē γυμνὸν gymnon καὶ kai περιεβάλομεν; periebalomen;

And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?"

πότε pote δέ de σε se εἴδομεν eidomen ἀσθενοῦντα asthenounta ἢ ē ἐν en φυλακῇ phylakē καὶ kai ἤλθομεν ēlthomen πρός pros σε; se;

And the king will answer them, saying, "Amen I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."

καὶ kai ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis ὁ ho βασιλεὺς basileus ἐρεῖ erei αὐτοῖς· autois· Ἀμὴν Amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἐφ' eph' ὅσον hoson ἐποιήσατε epoiēsate ἑνὶ heni τούτων toutōn τῶν tōn ἀδελφῶν adelphōn μου mou τῶν tōn ἐλαχίστων, elachistōn, ἐμοὶ emoi ἐποιήσατε. epoiēsate.

Then he will say also to those at the left, "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Τότε Tote ἐρεῖ erei καὶ kai τοῖς tois ἐξ ex εὐωνύμων· euōnymōn· Πορεύεσθε Poreuesthe ἀπ' ap' ἐμοῦ emou κατηραμένοι katēramenoi εἰς eis τὸ to πῦρ pyr τὸ to αἰώνιον aiōnion τὸ to ἡτοιμασμένον hētoimasmenon τῷ tō διαβόλῳ diabolō καὶ kai τοῖς tois ἀγγέλοις angelois αὐτοῦ. autou.

For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink;

ἐπείνασα epeinasa γὰρ gar καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἐδώκατέ edōkate μοι moi φαγεῖν, phagein, ἐδίψησα edipsēsa καὶ kai οὐκ ouk ἐποτίσατέ epotisate με, me,

I was a stranger and you did not take me in; naked and you did not clothe me; sick and in prison and you did not visit me."

Then they also will answer, saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not serve you?"

τότε tote ἀποκριθήσονται apokrithēsontai καὶ kai αὐτοὶ autoi λέγοντες· legontes· Κύριε, Kyrie, πότε pote σε se εἴδομεν eidomen πεινῶντα peinōnta ἢ ē διψῶντα dipsōnta ἢ ē ξένον xenon ἢ ē γυμνὸν gymnon ἢ ē ἀσθενῆ asthenē ἢ ē ἐν en φυλακῇ phylakē καὶ kai οὐ ou διηκονήσαμέν diēkonēsamen σοι; soi;

Then he will answer them, saying, "Amen I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to me."

τότε tote ἀποκριθήσεται apokrithēsetai αὐτοῖς autois λέγων· legōn· Ἀμὴν Amēn λέγω legō ὑμῖν, hymin, ἐφ' eph' ὅσον hoson οὐκ ouk ἐποιήσατε epoiēsate ἑνὶ heni τούτων toutōn τῶν tōn ἐλαχίστων, elachistōn, οὐδὲ oude ἐμοὶ emoi ἐποιήσατε. epoiēsate.

And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

Chapter 28

Matthew 28 — The Resurrection + the Great Commission

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

Ὀψὲ Opse δὲ de σαββάτων, sabbatōn, τῇ tē ἐπιφωσκούσῃ epiphōskousē εἰς eis μίαν mian σαββάτων, sabbatōn, ἦλθεν ēlthen Μαρία Maria ἡ hē Μαγδαληνὴ Magdalēnē καὶ kai ἡ hē ἄλλη allē Μαρία Maria θεωρῆσαι theōrēsai τὸν ton τάφον. taphon.

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having come down from heaven, came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou σεισμὸς seismos ἐγένετο egeneto μέγας· megas· ἄγγελος angelos γὰρ gar κυρίου kyriou καταβὰς katabas ἐξ ex οὐρανοῦ ouranou καὶ kai προσελθὼν proselthōn ἀπεκύλισεν apekylisen τὸν ton λίθον lithon καὶ kai ἐκάθητο ekathēto ἐπάνω epanō αὐτοῦ. autou.

His appearance was like lightning, and his garment white as snow.

And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed.

ἦν ēn δὲ de ἡ hē εἰδέα eidea αὐτοῦ autou ὡς hōs ἀστραπὴ astrapē καὶ kai τὸ to ἔνδυμα endyma αὐτοῦ autou λευκὸν leukon ὡς hōs χιών. chiōn.

And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

ἀπὸ apo δὲ de τοῦ tou φόβου phobou αὐτοῦ autou ἐσείσθησαν eseisthēsan οἱ hoi τηροῦντες tērountes καὶ kai ἐγενήθησαν egenēthēsan ὡς hōs νεκροί. nekroi.

But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.

And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis δὲ de ὁ ho ἄγγελος angelos εἶπεν eipen ταῖς tais γυναιξίν· gynaixin· Μὴ Mē φοβεῖσθε phobeisthe ὑμεῖς, hymeis, οἶδα oida γὰρ gar ὅτι hoti Ἰησοῦν Iēsoun τὸν ton ἐσταυρωμένον estaurōmenon ζητεῖτε· zēteite·

He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

οὐκ ouk ἔστιν estin ὧδε, hōde, ἠγέρθη ēgerthē γὰρ gar καθὼς kathōs εἶπεν· eipen· δεῦτε deute ἴδετε idete τὸν ton τόπον topon ὅπου hopou ἔκειτο. ekeito.

And go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you."

And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

καὶ kai ταχὺ tachy πορευθεῖσαι poreutheisai εἴπατε eipate τοῖς tois μαθηταῖς mathētais αὐτοῦ autou ὅτι hoti Ἠγέρθη Ēgerthē ἀπὸ apo τῶν tōn νεκρῶν, nekrōn, καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou προάγει proagei ὑμᾶς hymas εἰς eis τὴν tēn Γαλιλαίαν, Galilaian, ἐκεῖ ekei αὐτὸν auton ὄψεσθε· opsesthe· ἰδοὺ idou εἶπον eipon ὑμῖν. hymin.

And they went away quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring word to his disciples.

And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

καὶ kai ἀπελθοῦσαι apelthousai ταχὺ tachy ἀπὸ apo τοῦ tou μνημείου mnēmeiou μετὰ meta φόβου phobou καὶ kai χαρᾶς charas μεγάλης megalēs ἔδραμον edramon ἀπαγγεῖλαι apangeilai τοῖς tois μαθηταῖς mathētais αὐτοῦ. autou.

And behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings." And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

καὶ kai ἰδοὺ idou Ἰησοῦς Iēsous ὑπήντησεν hypēntēsen αὐταῖς autais λέγων· legōn· Χαίρετε· Chairete· αἱ hai δὲ de προσελθοῦσαι proselthousai ἐκράτησαν ekratēsan αὐτοῦ autou τοὺς tous πόδας podas καὶ kai προσεκύνησαν prosekynēsan αὐτῷ. autō.

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me."

And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

τότε tote λέγει legei αὐταῖς autais ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous· Μὴ Mē φοβεῖσθε· phobeisthe· ὑπάγετε hypagete ἀπαγγείλατε apangeilate τοῖς tois ἀδελφοῖς adelphois μου mou ἵνα hina ἀπέλθωσιν apelthōsin εἰς eis τὴν tēn Γαλιλαίαν, Galilaian, κἀκεῖ kakei με me ὄψονται. opsontai.

While they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

Πορευομένων Poreuomenōn δὲ de αὐτῶν autōn ἰδού idou τινες tines τῆς tēs κουστωδίας koustōdias ἐλθόντες elthontes εἰς eis τὴν tēn πόλιν polin ἀπήγγειλαν apēngeilan τοῖς tois ἀρχιερεῦσιν archiereusin ἅπαντα hapanta τὰ ta γενόμενα. genomena.

And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel together, they gave a sufficient sum of silver to the soldiers,

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

καὶ kai συναχθέντες synachthentes μετὰ meta τῶν tōn πρεσβυτέρων presbyterōn συμβούλιόν symboulion τε te λαβόντες labontes ἀργύρια argyria ἱκανὰ hikana ἔδωκαν edōkan τοῖς tois στρατιώταις stratiōtais

saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came by night and stole him while we were sleeping.'

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.

λέγοντες· legontes· Εἴπατε Eipate ὅτι hoti Οἱ Hoi μαθηταὶ mathētai αὐτοῦ autou νυκτὸς nyktos ἐλθόντες elthontes ἔκλεψαν eklepsan αὐτὸν auton ἡμῶν hēmōn κοιμωμένων· koimōmenōn·

And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

And when Jesus was come into Peter`s house, he saw his wife`s mother lying sick of a fever.

καὶ kai ἐὰν ean ἀκουσθῇ akousthē τοῦτο touto ἐπὶ epi τοῦ tou ἡγεμόνος, hēgemonos, ἡμεῖς hēmeis πείσομεν peisomen αὐτὸν auton καὶ kai ὑμᾶς hymas ἀμερίμνους amerimnous ποιήσομεν. poiēsomen.

So they took the silver and did as they had been taught. And this story has been spread among Jews to this day.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him.

οἱ hoi δὲ de λαβόντες labontes τὰ ta ἀργύρια argyria ἐποίησαν epoiēsan ὡς hōs ἐδιδάχθησαν. edidachthēsan. καὶ kai διεφημίσθη diephēmisthē ὁ ho λόγος logos οὗτος houtos παρὰ para Ἰουδαίοις Ioudaiois μέχρι mechri τῆς tēs σήμερον sēmeron ἡμέρας. hēmeras.

Now the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:

Οἱ Hoi δὲ de ἕνδεκα hendeka μαθηταὶ mathētai ἐπορεύθησαν eporeuthēsan εἰς eis τὴν tēn Γαλιλαίαν Galilaian εἰς eis τὸ to ὄρος oros οὗ hou ἐτάξατο etaxato αὐτοῖς autois ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous,

And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

καὶ kai ἰδόντες idontes αὐτὸν auton προσεκύνησαν, prosekynēsan, οἱ hoi δὲ de ἐδίστασαν. edistasan.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to depart unto the other side.

καὶ kai προσελθὼν proselthōn ὁ ho Ἰησοῦς Iēsous ἐλάλησεν elalēsen αὐτοῖς autois λέγων· legōn· Ἐδόθη Edothē μοι moi πᾶσα pasa ἐξουσία exousia ἐν en οὐρανῷ ouranō καὶ kai ἐπὶ epi γῆς. gēs.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

πορευθέντες poreuthentes οὖν oun μαθητεύσατε mathēteusate πάντα panta τὰ ta ἔθνη, ethnē, βαπτίζοντες baptizontes αὐτοὺς autous εἰς eis τὸ to ὄνομα onoma τοῦ tou πατρὸς patros καὶ kai τοῦ tou υἱοῦ huiou καὶ kai τοῦ tou ἁγίου hagiou πνεύματος, pneumatos,

teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the consummation of the age.

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
