P3. On the Way to Jerusalem 3 (Exhortations and Parables)

↑ Lk 12 1 εν οις επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ωστε καταπατειν αλληλους ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους μαθητας αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοις απο της ζυμης ητις εστιν υποκρισις των φαρισαιων

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 3–5 ανθ ων οσα εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι ακουσθησεται και ο προς το ους ελαλησατε εν τοις ταμειοις κηρυχθησεται επι των δωματων

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

4 λεγω δε υμιν τοις φιλοις μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεινοντων το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εχοντα εξουσιαν εμβαλειν εις την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 6–8 ουχι πεντε στρουθια πωλουνται ασσαριων δυο και εν εξ αυτων ουκ εστιν επιλελησμενον ενωπιον του θεου

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

7 αλλα και αι τριχες της κεφαλης υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

8 λεγω δε υμιν πας ος αν ομολογηση εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων και ο υιος του ανθρωπου ομολογησει εν αυτω εμπροσθεν των αγγελων του θεου

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 10 και πας ος ερει λογον εις τον υιον του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω τω δε εις το αγιον πνευμα βλασφημησαντι ουκ αφεθησεται

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 13–15 ειπεν δε τις εκ του οχλου αυτω διδασκαλε ειπε τω αδελφω μου μερισασθαι μετ εμου την κληρονομιαν

And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε τις με κατεστησεν κριτην η μεριστην εφ υμας

And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15 ειπεν δε προς αυτους ορατε και φυλασσεσθε απο πασης πλεονεξιας οτι ουκ εν τω περισσευειν τινι η ζωη αυτου εστιν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτω

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 16–21 ειπεν δε παραβολην προς αυτους λεγων ανθρωπου τινος πλουσιου ευφορησεν η χωρα

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τους καρπους μου

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 και ειπεν τουτο ποιησω καθελω μου τας αποθηκας και μειζονας οικοδομησω και συναξω εκει παντα τον σιτον και τα αγαθα μου

And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 και ερω τη ψυχη μου ψυχη εχεις πολλα αγαθα κειμενα εις ετη πολλα αναπαυου φαγε πιε ευφραινου

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 ειπεν δε αυτω ο θεος αφρων ταυτη τη νυκτι την ψυχην σου απαιτουσιν απο σου α δε ητοιμασας τινι εσται

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21  ουτως ο θησαυριζων εαυτω και μη εις θεον πλουτων

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 22–25 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας [αυτου] δια τουτο λεγω υμιν μη μεριμνατε τη ψυχη τι φαγητε μηδε τω σωματι τι ενδυσησθε

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23 η γαρ ψυχη πλειον εστιν της τροφης και το σωμα του ενδυματος

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24 κατανοησατε τους κορακας οτι ου σπειρουσιν ουδε θεριζουσιν οις ουκ εστιν ταμειον ουδε αποθηκη και ο θεος τρεφει αυτους ποσω μαλλον υμεις διαφερετε των πετεινων

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25 τις δε εξ υμων μεριμνων δυναται επι την ηλικιαν αυτου προσθειναι πηχυν

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 26–28 ει ουν ουδε ελαχιστον δυνασθε τι περι των λοιπων μεριμνατε

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 κατανοησατε τα κρινα πως αυξανει ου κοπια ουδε νηθει λεγω δε υμιν ουδε σολομων εν παση τη δοξη αυτου περιεβαλετο ως εν τουτων

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 ει δε εν αγρω τον χορτον οντα σημερον και αυριον εις κλιβανον βαλλομενον ο θεος ουτως αμφιεζει ποσω μαλλον υμας ολιγοπιστοι

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 29–31 και υμεις μη ζητειτε τι φαγητε και τι πιητε και μη μετεωριζεσθε

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 ταυτα γαρ παντα τα εθνη του κοσμου επιζητουσιν υμων δε ο πατηρ οιδεν οτι χρηζετε τουτων

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31 πλην ζητειτε την βασιλειαν αυτου και ταυτα προστεθησεται υμιν

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 32 μη φοβου το μικρον ποιμνιον οτι ευδοκησεν ο πατηρ υμων δουναι υμιν την βασιλειαν

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 33a πωλησατε τα υπαρχοντα υμων και δοτε ελεημοσυνην ...

Sell that ye have, and give alms; ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 33b–34 ... ποιησατε εαυτοις βαλλαντια μη παλαιουμενα θησαυρον ανεκλειπτον εν τοις ουρανοις οπου κλεπτης ουκ εγγιζει ουδε σης διαφθειρει

provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34 οπου γαρ εστιν ο θησαυρος υμων εκει και η καρδια υμων εσται

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

↑ Lk 12 35–36 εστωσαν υμων αι οσφυες περιεζωσμεναι και οι λυχνοι καιομενοι

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36 και υμεις ομοιοι ανθρωποις προσδεχομενοις τον κυριον εαυτων ποτε αναλυση εκ των γαμων ινα ελθοντος και κρουσαντος ευθεως ανοιξωσιν αυτω

And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 37–38 μακαριοι οι δουλοι εκεινοι ους ελθων ο κυριος ευρησει γρηγορουντας αμην λεγω υμιν οτι περιζωσεται και ανακλινει αυτους και παρελθων διακονησει αυτοις

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 καν εν τη δευτερα καν εν τη τριτη φυλακη ελθη και ευρη ουτως μακαριοι εισιν εκεινοι

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 39–40 τουτο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια ωρα ο κλεπτης ερχεται ουκ αν αφηκεν διορυχθηναι τον οικον αυτου

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

40 και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 41 ειπεν δε ο πετρος κυριε προς ημας την παραβολην ταυτην λεγεις η και προς παντας

Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 42–44 και ειπεν ο κυριος τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος οικονομος ο φρονιμος ον καταστησει ο κυριος επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι εν καιρω [το] σιτομετριον

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

44 αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 45–46 εαν δε ειπη ο δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ερχεσθαι και αρξηται τυπτειν τους παιδας και τας παιδισκας εσθιειν τε και πινειν και μεθυσκεσθαι

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46 ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των απιστων θησει

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 47–48 εκεινος δε ο δουλος ο γνους το θελημα του κυριου αυτου και μη ετοιμασας η ποιησας προς το θελημα αυτου δαρησεται πολλας

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48 ο δε μη γνους ποιησας δε αξια πληγων δαρησεται ολιγας παντι δε ω εδοθη πολυ πολυ ζητηθησεται παρ αυτου και ω παρεθεντο πολυ περισσοτερον αιτησουσιν αυτον

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 49–50 πυρ ηλθον βαλειν επι την γην και τι θελω ει ηδη ανηφθη

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

50 βαπτισμα δε εχω βαπτισθηναι και πως συνεχομαι εως οτου τελεσθη

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 51–53 δοκειτε οτι ειρηνην παρεγενομην δουναι εν τη γη ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ η διαμερισμον

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 εσονται γαρ απο του νυν πεντε εν ενι οικω διαμεμερισμενοι τρεις επι δυσιν και δυο επι τρισιν

For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 διαμερισθησονται πατηρ επι υιω και υιος επι πατρι μητηρ επι την θυγατερα και θυγατηρ επι την μητερα πενθερα επι την νυμφην αυτης και νυμφη επι την πενθεραν

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 54–56 ελεγεν δε και τοις οχλοις οταν ιδητε [την] νεφελην ανατελλουσαν επι δυσμων ευθεως λεγετε οτι ομβρος ερχεται και γινεται ουτως

And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 και οταν νοτον πνεοντα λεγετε οτι καυσων εσται και γινεται

And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56 υποκριται το προσωπον της γης και του ουρανου οιδατε δοκιμαζειν τον καιρον δε τουτον πως ουκ οιδατε δοκιμαζειν

Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? ↓ 

↑ Lk 12 57–59 τι δε και αφ εαυτων ου κρινετε το δικαιον

Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58 ως γαρ υπαγεις μετα του αντιδικου σου επ αρχοντα εν τη οδω δος εργασιαν απηλλαχθαι απ αυτου μηποτε κατασυρη σε προς τον κριτην και ο κριτης σε παραδωσει τω πρακτορι και ο πρακτωρ σε βαλει εις φυλακην

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59 λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως

I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. ↓ 

↑ Lk 13 1–5 παρησαν δε τινες εν αυτω τω καιρω απαγγελλοντες αυτω περι των γαλιλαιων ων το αιμα πιλατος εμιξεν μετα των θυσιων αυτων

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις δοκειτε οτι οι γαλιλαιοι ουτοι αμαρτωλοι παρα παντας τους γαλιλαιους εγενοντο οτι ταυτα πεπονθασιν

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?

3 ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ εαν μη μετανοητε παντες ομοιως απολεισθε

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 η εκεινοι οι δεκαοκτω εφ ους επεσεν ο πυργος εν τω σιλωαμ και απεκτεινεν αυτους δοκειτε οτι αυτοι οφειλεται εγενοντο παρα παντας τους ανθρωπους τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ εαν μη μετανοητε παντες ωσαυτως απολεισθε

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. ↓ 

↑ Lk 13 6–9 ελεγεν δε ταυτην την παραβολην συκην ειχεν τις πεφυτευμενην εν τω αμπελωνι αυτου και ηλθεν ζητων καρπον εν αυτη και ουχ ευρεν

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 ειπεν δε προς τον αμπελουργον ιδου τρια ετη αφ ου ερχομαι ζητων καρπον εν τη συκη ταυτη και ουχ ευρισκω εκκοψον [ουν] αυτην ινα τι και την γην καταργει

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

8 ο δε αποκριθεις λεγει αυτω κυριε αφες αυτην και τουτο το ετος εως οτου σκαψω περι αυτην και βαλω κοπρια

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

9 καν μεν ποιηση καρπον εις το μελλον ει δε μη γε εκκοψεις αυτην

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. ↓
