Matthew 9 Kata Mathaion 9
1Kai ⸀embainarantos ⸀eis ploiem diaperata kai erchata eis tan idian polan.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
2Kai idou prosferale auto paralutikon epi klinau balorēnton. kai horarantos tos Iēsus tan pistian autoiu legata to paralutiko; Tharsasōr, teknem; ⸀afiēkolō ⸂su tais hamartais.⸃Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.” 3kai idou tinois toiu grammatevoiu legala en heautoi; Houtos blasfēmatō.On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!” 4kai ⸀horarēntos tos Iēsus tain enthumēsiain autoiu legata; ⸀Hinati enthumovō ponēreim en tai kardiai vu?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts? 5tinem gar atō eukopoterem, legara; ⸀Afiēkolō su tais hamartais, ē legara; ⸀Egerasōr kai peripatasōr?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6hina de oidaveiē hoti exousian echatō tos huios tou anthrōpou epi tau gēau afiēkarō hamartain tote legatō to paralutiko; ⸀Egerirantos airasar su tan klinan kai hupagasōr eis ton oikon su.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.” 7kai egerirantos aperchata eis ton oikon autou.And the man got up and went home. 8horarantois de tois ochlois ⸀fobila kai doxazala ton theon ton dōaranton exousian toioutan toi anthrōpoi.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9Kai paragarōntos tos Iēsus ekeithen horata anthrōpon kathorōnton epi tem telōniem, Mathaion legorōnton, kai legatō auto; Akolouthasōr mi; kai anastēarantos akolouthata auto.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
10Kai geneta autou anakeiorōntou en ta oikia, ⸀kai idou pollois telōnois kai hamartōlois ercharantois sunanakeiole to Iēso kai toi mathētoi autou.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples. 11kai horarantois tois Farisaiois ⸀legale toi mathētoi autou; Dia tinem meta toiu telōnoiu kai hamartōloiu esthiatō tos didaskalos vu?When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12tos ⸀de akouarantos ⸀legata; Ouk chreian echalō tois ischuarōntois iatrou alla tois kakōs echarōntois.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13poreuirantois de mathavar tinem atō; Elesem thelamō kai ouk thusian; ouk gar erchama kalara dikaioin alla ⸀hamartōloin.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
14Tote prosercholō auto tois mathētois Iōannou legarōntois; Dia tinem nis kai tois Farisaiois nēsteuanō ⸀polleim, tois de mathētois su ouk nēsteualō?Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?” 15kai legata autoi tos Iēsus; Mē dunolō tois huiois tou numfōnou pentharō epi hoson meta autoiu atō tos numfios? ercheli de hēmerais hotan apariteia apo autoiu tos numfios, kai tote nēsteuali.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. 16oudenos de epibalatō epiblēmem rakeu agnafeu epi himatie palaie; airatō gar tem plērōmem auteu apo teu himatieu, kai cheirōnem schismem genotō.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result. 17oude balalō oinon neon eis askoin palaioin; ei de mē ge, rēgolō tois askois, kai tos oinos ekchotō kai tois askois ⸀apololō; alla balalō oinon neon eis askoin kainoin, kai amfoterois suntērolō.Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18Houteim autou lalarōntou autoi idou archontos henos ⸀ercharantos proskunate auto legarōntos hoti Tas thugatras mu arti teleutata; alla ercharantos epitithasar tan cheiran su epi autan, kai zōeti.While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.” 19kai egerirantos tos Iēsus ⸀akolouthate auto kai tois mathētois autou.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples. 20Kai idou gunaikas haimorroarōntas dōdeka eteim prosercharantas opisthen hapteta teu kraspedeu teu himatieu autou;Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak. 21legate gar en heauta; Ean monem haptemeia teu himatieu autou sōzimi.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.” 22tos de Iēsus ⸀strefirantos kai horarantos autan legata; Tharsasōr, thugatrar; tas pistias su sōzatē sin. kai sōzita tas gunaikas apo tau hōrau ekeinau.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour. 23kai ercharantos tos Iēsus eis tan oikian tou archontou kai horarantos toin aulētoin kai ton ochlon thoruborōntonWhen Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd. 24⸀legate; Anachōravōr, ouk gar apothnēskata tem korasiem alla katheudatō; kai katagelale autou.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him. 25hote de ekbalita tos ochlos, eisercharantos kratata tau cheirau autau, kai egerita tem korasiem.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26kai exerchata tas fēmas houtas eis holan tan gēan ekeinan.And the news about this spread throughout that region.
27Kai paragarōnto ekeithen to Iēso akolouthala ⸀auto duo tuflois krazarōntois kai legarōntois; Elēasar nin, ⸀huior David.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28ercharanto de eis tan oikian proserchala auto tois tuflois, kai legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Pisteuavō hoti dunomō houtem poiara? legalō auto; Nai, kurior.After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered. 29tote hapteta toiu ofthalmoiu autoiu legarōntos; Kata tan pistian vu genitar vi.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” 30kai anoigila autoiu tois ofthalmois. kai ⸀embrimita autoi tos Iēsus legarōntos; Horavōr mēdenos gnōskatōr;And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!” 31tois de exercharantois diafēmizala auton en hola ta gēa ekeina.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
32Autoiu de exerchorōntoiu idou prosferala auto ⸀anthrōpon kōfon daimonizorōnton;As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus. 33kai ekbaliranteu teu daimoneu lalata tos kōfos. kai thaumazala tois ochlois legarōntois; Oudepote fanita houtōs en to Israēl.And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!” 34tois de Farisaiois legale; En to archonto teiu daimoneiu ekbalatō teim daimoneim.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
35Kai periagate tos Iēsus tain polain pantain kai tain kōmain, didaskarōntos en tai sunagōgai autoiu kai kērussarōntos tem euangeliem tau basileiau kai therapeuarōntos pantan nosan kai pantan ⸀malakian.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. 36Horarantos de toin ochloin splanchnizita peri autoiu hoti ale skullorēntois kai riptorēntois ⸀hōsei probateim mē echarōnteim poimenon.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37tote legatō toi mathētoi autou; Tos men therismos pollos, tois de ergatois oligois;Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38divar oun tou kuriou tou therismou hopōs ekbalateia ergatoin eis ton therismon autou.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
