New International Version NIV
1 Καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀναστὰς ἔρχεται εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ συμπορεύονται πάλιν ὄχλοι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὡς εἰώθει πάλιν ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
1
Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.
2 Καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν εἰ ἔξεστιν ἀνδρὶ γυναῖκα ἀπολῦσαι, πειράζοντες αὐτόν.
2
Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Τί ὑμῖν ἐνετείλατο Μωϋσῆς;
3
“What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν · Ἐπέτρεψεν Μωϋσῆς ⸃ βιβλίον ἀποστασίου γράψαι καὶ ἀπολῦσαι.
4
They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 ὁ δὲ ⸃ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην ·
5
“It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied.
6 ἀπὸ δὲ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς ·
6
“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
7 ἕνεκεν τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ,
7
‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν · ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ μία σάρξ ·
8
and the two will become one flesh.’So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 ὃ οὖν ὁ θεὸς συνέζευξεν ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.
9
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 Καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ⸃ πάλιν οἱ μαθηταὶ περὶ τούτου ⸃ ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν.
10
When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς · Ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην μοιχᾶται ἐπ’ αὐτήν,
11
He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 καὶ ἐὰν αὐτὴ ἀπολύσασα τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς γαμήσῃ ἄλλον ⸃ μοιχᾶται.
12
And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
13 Καὶ προσέφερον αὐτῷ παιδία ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅψηται ⸃· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
13
People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἠγανάκτησεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
14
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
15
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
16 καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὰ κατευλόγει τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ αὐτά.
16
And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
17 Καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ εἰς ὁδὸν προσδραμὼν εἷς καὶ γονυπετήσας αὐτὸν ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν · Διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσω ἵνα ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;
17
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός.
18
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
19 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας · Μὴ φονεύσῃς, Μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, Μὴ κλέψῃς, Μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, Μὴ ἀποστερήσῃς, Τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα.
19
You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”
20 ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτῷ · Διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου.
20
“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐμβλέψας αὐτῷ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ἕν σε ὑστερεῖ · ὕπαγε ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ δὸς τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
21
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 ὁ δὲ στυγνάσας ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος, ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά.
22
At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ · Πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελεύσονται.
23
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
24 οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐθαμβοῦντο ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτοῖς · Τέκνα, πῶς δύσκολόν ἐστιν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ·
24
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it isto enter the kingdom of God!
25 εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τῆς τρυμαλιᾶς τῆς ⸃ ῥαφίδος διελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.
25
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες πρὸς ἑαυτούς · Καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;
26
The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγει · Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ἀδύνατον ἀλλ’ οὐ παρὰ θεῷ, πάντα γὰρ δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ θεῷ.
27
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
28 Ἤρξατο λέγειν ὁ Πέτρος ⸃ αὐτῷ · Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήκαμέν σοι.
28
Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”
29 ἔφη ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸃· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ ἀδελφὰς ἢ μητέρα ἢ πατέρα ⸃ ἢ τέκνα ἢ ἀγροὺς ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ καὶ ἕνεκεν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
29
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel
30 ἐὰν μὴ λάβῃ ἑκατονταπλασίονα νῦν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ οἰκίας καὶ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἀδελφὰς καὶ μητέρας καὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀγροὺς μετὰ διωγμῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
30
will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.
31 πολλοὶ δὲ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι.
31
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
32 Ἦσαν δὲ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἀναβαίνοντες εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ἦν προάγων αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐθαμβοῦντο, οἱ δὲ ⸃ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἐφοβοῦντο. καὶ παραλαβὼν πάλιν τοὺς δώδεκα ἤρξατο αὐτοῖς λέγειν τὰ μέλλοντα αὐτῷ συμβαίνειν
32
They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.
33 ὅτι Ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς γραμματεῦσιν, καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτῳ καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
33
“We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34 καὶ ἐμπαίξουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐμπτύσουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ μαστιγώσουσιν αὐτὸν ⸃ καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν, καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ⸃ ἀναστήσεται.
34
who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”
35 Καὶ προσπορεύονται αὐτῷ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης οἱ υἱοὶ Ζεβεδαίου λέγοντες αὐτῷ · Διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν ἵνα ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσωμέν σε ποιήσῃς ἡμῖν.
35
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν;
36
“What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
37 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ · Δὸς ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς σου ἐκ δεξιῶν ⸃ καὶ εἷς ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καθίσωμεν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου.
37
They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”
38 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε · δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω, ἢ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι;
38
“You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”
39 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ · Δυνάμεθα. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω πίεσθε καὶ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθήσεσθε,
39
“We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,
40 τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἢ ἐξ εὐωνύμων οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸν δοῦναι, ἀλλ’ οἷς ἡτοίμασται.
40
but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
41 Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἤρξαντο ἀγανακτεῖν περὶ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
41
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
42 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸃ λέγει αὐτοῖς · Οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ δοκοῦντες ἄρχειν τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι αὐτῶν κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν.
42
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
43 οὐχ οὕτως δέ ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν · ἀλλ’ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ μέγας γενέσθαι ⸃ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος,
43
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44 καὶ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι ⸃ πρῶτος, ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος ·
44
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45 καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.
45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
46 Καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Ἰεριχώ. καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἰεριχὼ καὶ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὄχλου ἱκανοῦ ὁ υἱὸς Τιμαίου Βαρτιμαῖος τυφλὸς προσαίτης ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν.
46
Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging.
47 καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζαρηνός ἐστιν ἤρξατο κράζειν καὶ λέγειν · Υἱὲ Δαυὶδ Ἰησοῦ, ἐλέησόν με.
47
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 καὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ πολλοὶ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ · ὁ δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν · Υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.
48
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν · Φωνήσατε αὐτόν. καὶ φωνοῦσι τὸν τυφλὸν λέγοντες αὐτῷ · Θάρσει, ἔγειρε, φωνεῖ σε.
49
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.”
50 ὁ δὲ ἀποβαλὼν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ ἀναπηδήσας ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
50
Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν ⸃· Τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ τυφλὸς εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ραββουνι, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.
51
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
52 καὶ ὁ ⸃ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ὕπαγε, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε. καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
52
“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
