Matthew 11 Kata Mathaion 11
1Kai geneta hote telata tos Iēsus diatassarōntos toi dōdeka mathētoi autou, metabainata ekeithen teu didaskarō kai kērussarō en tai polai autoiu.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2Tos de Iōannos akouarantos en te desmōtērie teim ergeim tou christou pemparantos ⸀dia toiu mathētoiu autouMeanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples 3legata auto; Sis asō tos erchorōntos ē heteron prosdokanō?to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?” 4kai apokrinirantos tos Iēsus legata autoi; Poreuirantois apangelavar Iōanno heim akouavō kai blepavō;Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5tuflois anablepalō kai chōlois peripatalō, leprois katharizolō kai kōfois akoualō, ⸀kai nekrois egerolō kai ptōchois euangelizolō;The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6kai makarios atō hos ⸀ean mē skandaliziteia en mi.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
7Houtoiu de poreuorōntoiu archeta tos Iēsus legarō toi ochloi peri Iōannou; Tinem exerchava eis tan erēman theasera? kalamon hupo anemou saleuorōnton?As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 8alla tinem exerchava horara? anthrōpon en ⸀malakei amfiennuorēnton? idou tois teim malakeim forarōntois en toi oikoi toiu ⸀basilevoiu ⸀alō.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces. 9alla tinem exerchava?⸂ profēton horara?⸃ nai, legamō vi, kai perissoteron profētou.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10⸀houtos atō peri hou grafotē; Idou mis apostelamō ton angelon mu pro prosōpeu su, hos kataskeuazati tan hodan su emprosthen su.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’ 11amēn legamō vi, ouk egerotē en gennētoi gunaikaiu megoteros Iōannou tou baptistou; tos de mikroteros en ta basileia toiu ouranoiu megoteros autou atō.Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12apo de taiu hēmeraiu Iōannou tou baptistou heōs arti tas basileias toiu ouranoiu biazotō, kai biastois harpazalō autan.From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it. 13pantois gar tois profētois kai tos nomos heōs Iōannou profēteuala;For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14kai ei thelavō dechera, autos atō Ēliaos tos mellarōntos erchorō.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15tos echarōntos ⸀oueim akouatōr.He who has ears, let him hear.
16Tine de homoiami tan genean houtan? homoias atō paidiei ⸂kathorōntei en tai agorai heim prosfōnarōnteim tei heterei⸃To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17⸀legalō; Aulana vi kai ouk orcheva; ⸀thrēnana kai ouk kopteva;‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18erchata gar Iōannos mēte esthiarōntos mēte pinarōntos, kai legalō; Daimonem echatō;For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19erchata tos huios tou anthrōpou esthiarōntos kai pinarōntos, kai legalō; Idou anthrōpos fagos kai oinopotos, telōnoiu filos kai hamartōloiu. kai dikaiita tas sofias apo teiu ⸀ergeiu autau.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20Tote ⸀archeta oneidizarō tain polain en hai genela tais pollotatais dunamiais autou, hoti ouk metanoala;Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21Ouai si, Chorazin; ouai si, Bēthsaida; hoti ei en Tura kai Sidōna genela tais dunamiais tais generantais en vi, palai an en sakko kai spoda metanoala.“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22plēn legamō vi, Tura kai Sidōna anektoterem eti en hēmera krisiau ē vi.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23kai sis, Kafarnaoum, ⸂mē heōs ouranou hupsisi?⸃ heōs hadou ⸀katabainesi; hoti ei en Sodomei ⸀genila tais dunamiais tais generantais en si, ⸀menata an mechris tau sēmeron.And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24plēn legamō vi hoti gēa Sodomeiu anektoterem eti en hēmera krisiau ē si.But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
25En ekeino to kairo apokrinirantos tos Iēsus legata; Exomologomō si, patror kurior tou ouranou kai tau gēau, hoti ⸀kruptasa houteim apo sofoiu kai sunetoiu, kai apokaluptasa auteim nēpioi;At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26nai, tos patror, hoti houtōs ⸂eudokias geneta⸃ emprosthen su.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight. 27Panteim mi paradōita hupo tou patrou mu, kai oudenos epignōskatō ton huion ei mē tos patros, oude ton patron tinos epignōskatō ei mē tos huios kai ho ean bouloteiō tos huios apokaluptara.All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28Deute pros min pantoir tois kopiarōntoir kai fortizorēntoir, kamis anapauami vin.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29airavar ton zugon mu epi vin kai mathavar apo mu, hoti prauos amō kai tapeinos ta kardia, kai heuriskavi anapausian tai psuchai vu;Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30tos gar zugos mu chrēstos kai tem fortiem mu elafrem atō.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
