T2. Teachings in the Temple 2 (Dispute with Scribes)

↑ Mt 22 15–17 τοτε πορευθεντες οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπως αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

16 και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17  ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 18–21 γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19 επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

20 και λεγει αυτοις τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη

And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

21 λεγουσιν αυτω καισαρος τοτε λεγει αυτοις αποδοτε ουν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω

They say unto him, Cæsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's; and unto God the things that are God's. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 22 και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν και αφεντες αυτον απηλθαν

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 23–24 εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον

The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

24 λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωυσης ειπεν εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου

Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 25–28 ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος γημας ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

26 ομοιως και ο δευτερος και ο τριτος εως των επτα

Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν η γυνη

And last of all the woman died also.

28 εν τη αναστασει ουν τινος των επτα εσται γυνη παντες γαρ εσχον αυτην

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 29–30 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις πλανασθε μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμιζονται αλλ ως αγγελοι εν τω ουρανω εισιν

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 31–33 περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντος

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ ουκ εστιν [ο] θεος νεκρων αλλα ζωντων

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου

And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 34–36 οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες οτι εφιμωσεν τους σαδδουκαιους συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35 και επηρωτησεν εις εξ αυτων [νομικος] πειραζων αυτον

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 37–40 ο δε εφη αυτω αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 αυτη εστιν η μεγαλη και πρωτη εντολη

This is the first and great commandment.

39 δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 εν ταυταις ταις δυσιν εντολαις ολος ο νομος κρεμαται και οι προφηται

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 41–45 συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτους ο ιησους

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινος υιος εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαυιδ

Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

43 λεγει αυτοις πως ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι καλει αυτον κυριον λεγων

He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 ειπεν κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποκατω των ποδων σου

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

45 ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πως υιος αυτου εστιν

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? ↓ 

↑ Mt 22 46 και ουδεις εδυνατο αποκριθηναι αυτω λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τις απ εκεινης της ημερας επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 1–3 τοτε ο ιησους ελαλησεν τοις οχλοις και τοις μαθηταις αυτου

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 λεγων επι της μωυσεως καθεδρας εκαθισαν οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3 παντα ουν οσα εαν ειπωσιν υμιν ποιησατε και τηρειτε κατα δε τα εργα αυτων μη ποιειτε λεγουσιν γαρ και ου ποιουσιν

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 4 δεσμευουσιν δε φορτια βαρεα [και δυσβαστακτα] και επιτιθεασιν επι τους ωμους των ανθρωπων αυτοι δε τω δακτυλω αυτων ου θελουσιν κινησαι αυτα

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 5–7 παντα δε τα εργα αυτων ποιουσιν προς το θεαθηναι τοις ανθρωποις πλατυνουσιν γαρ τα φυλακτηρια αυτων και μεγαλυνουσιν τα κρασπεδα

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 φιλουσιν δε την πρωτοκλισιαν εν τοις δειπνοις και τας πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις

And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και καλεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων ραββι

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 8–11 υμεις δε μη κληθητε ραββι εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο διδασκαλος παντες δε υμεις αδελφοι εστε

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 και πατερα μη καλεσητε υμων επι της γης εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο πατηρ ο ουρανιος

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται οτι καθηγητης υμων εστιν εις ο χριστος

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 ο δε μειζων υμων εσται υμων διακονος

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 12 οστις δε υψωσει εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και οστις ταπεινωσει εαυτον υψωθησεται

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 13–14 ουαι δε υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κλειετε την βασιλειαν των ουρανων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων υμεις γαρ ουκ εισερχεσθε ουδε τους εισερχομενους αφιετε εισελθειν

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 15–16 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι περιαγετε την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν ποιησαι ενα προσηλυτον και οταν γενηται ποιειτε αυτον υιον γεεννης διπλοτερον υμων

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 ουαι υμιν οδηγοι τυφλοι οι λεγοντες ος αν ομοση εν τω ναω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω χρυσω του ναου οφειλει

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 17–18 μωροι και τυφλοι τις γαρ μειζων εστιν ο χρυσος η ο ναος ο αγιασας τον χρυσον

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 και ος αν ομοση εν τω θυσιαστηριω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω δωρω τω επανω αυτου οφειλει

And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 19–22 τυφλοι τι γαρ μειζον το δωρον η το θυσιαστηριον το αγιαζον το δωρον

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 ο ουν ομοσας εν τω θυσιαστηριω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν πασιν τοις επανω αυτου

Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21 και ο ομοσας εν τω ναω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν τω κατοικουντι αυτον

And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22 και ο ομοσας εν τω ουρανω ομνυει εν τω θρονω του θεου και εν τω καθημενω επανω αυτου

And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 23 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το ανηθον και το κυμινον και αφηκατε τα βαρυτερα του νομου την κρισιν και το ελεος και την πιστιν ταυτα [δε] εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη αφιεναι

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 24 οδηγοι τυφλοι οι διυλιζοντες τον κωνωπα την δε καμηλον καταπινοντες

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 25–26 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι καθαριζετε το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και της παροψιδος εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν εξ αρπαγης και ακρασιας

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 φαρισαιε τυφλε καθαρισον πρωτον το εντος του ποτηριου ινα γενηται και το εκτος αυτου καθαρον

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 27–28 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι παρομοιαζετε ταφοις κεκονιαμενοις οιτινες εξωθεν μεν φαινονται ωραιοι εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν οστεων νεκρων και πασης ακαθαρσιας

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 ουτως και υμεις εξωθεν μεν φαινεσθε τοις ανθρωποις δικαιοι εσωθεν δε εστε μεστοι υποκρισεως και ανομιας

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 29–32 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι οικοδομειτε τους ταφους των προφητων και κοσμειτε τα μνημεια των δικαιων

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 και λεγετε ει ημεθα εν ταις ημεραις των πατερων ημων ουκ αν ημεθα αυτων κοινωνοι εν τω αιματι των προφητων

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 ωστε μαρτυρειτε εαυτοις οτι υιοι εστε των φονευσαντων τους προφητας

Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 και υμεις πληρωσατε το μετρον των πατερων υμων

Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 33 οφεις γεννηματα εχιδνων πως φυγητε απο της κρισεως της γεεννης

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 34–36 δια τουτο ιδου εγω αποστελλω προς υμας προφητας και σοφους και γραμματεις εξ αυτων αποκτενειτε και σταυρωσετε και εξ αυτων μαστιγωσετε εν ταις συναγωγαις υμων και διωξετε απο πολεως εις πολιν

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35 οπως ελθη εφ υμας παν αιμα δικαιον εκχυννομενον επι της γης απο του αιματος αβελ του δικαιου εως του αιματος ζαχαριου υιου βαραχιου ον εφονευσατε μεταξυ του ναου και του θυσιαστηριου

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36 αμην λεγω υμιν ηξει ταυτα παντα επι την γενεαν ταυτην

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. ↓ 

↑ Mt 23 37–39 ιερουσαλημ ιερουσαλημ η αποκτεινουσα τους προφητας και λιθοβολουσα τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτην ποσακις ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον ορνις επισυναγει τα νοσσια αυτης υπο τας πτερυγας και ουκ ηθελησατε

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 ιδου αφιεται υμιν ο οικος υμων ερημος

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39 λεγω γαρ υμιν ου μη με ιδητε απ αρτι εως αν ειπητε ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. ↓
