New International Version NIV
1 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς ⸃ λέγων ·
1
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:
2 Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.
2
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν.
3
He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων · Εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις · Ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ἡτοίμακα, οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα, καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα · δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.
4
“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον, ὃς μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν, ὃς δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ ·
5
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.
6 οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.
6
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
7 ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ⸃ ὠργίσθη, καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησεν.
7
The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ · Ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι ·
8
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
9 πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν, καὶ ὅσους ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.
9
So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’
10 καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας οὓς εὗρον, πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς · καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ γάμος ἀνακειμένων.
10
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου ·
11
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
12 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ · Ἑταῖρε, πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου; ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη.
12
He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
13 τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν ⸃ τοῖς διακόνοις · Δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ἐκβάλετε αὐτὸν ⸃ εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον · ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
13
“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσιν κλητοὶ ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί.
14
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
15 Τότε πορευθέντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ἐν λόγῳ.
15
Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
16 καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν λέγοντες · Διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός, οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων ·
16
They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are.
17 εἰπὸν οὖν ἡμῖν τί σοι δοκεῖ · ἔξεστιν δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ;
17
Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”
18 γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν εἶπεν · Τί με πειράζετε, ὑποκριταί;
18
But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
19 ἐπιδείξατέ μοι τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου. οἱ δὲ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δηνάριον.
19
Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius,
20 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς · Τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή;
20
and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Καίσαρος. τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς · Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ.
21
“Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν, καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθαν.
22
When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
23 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Σαδδουκαῖοι, λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
23
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24 λέγοντες · Διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς εἶπεν · Ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ μὴ ἔχων τέκνα, ἐπιγαμβρεύσει ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστήσει σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
24
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 ἦσαν δὲ παρ’ ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί · καὶ ὁ πρῶτος γήμας ἐτελεύτησεν, καὶ μὴ ἔχων σπέρμα ἀφῆκεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ·
25
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ ὁ τρίτος, ἕως τῶν ἑπτά ·
26
The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 ὕστερον δὲ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἡ γυνή.
27
Finally, the woman died.
28 ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν ⸃ τίνος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἔσται γυνή; πάντες γὰρ ἔσχον αὐτήν.
28
Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Πλανᾶσθε μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ θεοῦ ·
29
Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἀναστάσει οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται, ἀλλ’ ὡς ἄγγελοι θεοῦ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ εἰσιν ·
30
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ λέγοντος ·
31
But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,
32 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰακώβ; οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ⸃ νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων.
32
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ.
33
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσεν τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
34
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
35 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν νομικὸς πειράζων αὐτόν ·
35
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36 Διδάσκαλε, ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ;
36
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτῷ · Ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου ·
37
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μεγάλη καὶ πρώτη ⸃ ἐντολή.
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 Δευτέρα δὲ ὁμοία αὐτῇ · Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος κρέμαται καὶ οἱ προφῆται.
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41 Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς
41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 λέγων · Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ; τίνος υἱός ἐστιν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Τοῦ Δαυίδ.
42
“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”“The son of David,” they replied.
43 λέγει αὐτοῖς · Πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν πνεύματι καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον ⸃ λέγων ·
43
He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 Εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου · Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου;
44
“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:“Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’
45 εἰ οὖν Δαυὶδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον, πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;
45
If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”
46 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ ⸃ λόγον, οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπ’ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι.
46
No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
