1 In the mean time , when the many thousands of the multitude G3793 were G1510 gathered G1996 together G1996 , insomuch that they trod one ἀλλήλους allēlous G240 upon another , he began G757 to say λέγειν legein G3004 unto his disciples G3101 first πρῶτον· prōton G4413 of all , Beware G4337 ye of the leaven ζύμης zumēs G2219 of the Pharisees Φαρισαίων.¶ Pharisaiōn G5330 , which is G1510 hypocrisy ὑπόκρισις hupokrisis G5272 . 2 But there is G1510 nothing covered up, that shall not be G1510 revealed ἀποκαλυφθήσεται, apokaluphthēsetai G601 ; and hid, that shall not be G1510 known G1097 . 3 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said G3004 in the darkness σκοτίᾳ skotia G4653 shall be heard G191 in the light φωτὶ phōti G5457 ; and what ye have spoken ἐλαλήσατε elalēsate G2980 in the ear οὖς ous G3775 in the inner ταμείοις tameiois G5009 chambers shall be proclaimed κηρυχθήσεται kēruchthēsetai G2784 upon the housetops δωμάτων.¶ dōmatōn G1430 . 4 And I say Λέγω Legō G3004 unto you my friends φίλοις philois G5384 , Be not afraid G5399 of them that kill ἀποκτεινόντων apokteinontōn G615 the body σῶμα sōma G4983 , and after that have no more that they can do . 5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear φοβηθῆτε· phobēthēte G5399 : Fear φοβήθητε phobēthēte G5399 him , who after he hath killed ἀποκτεῖναι apokteinai G615 hath power G1849 to cast into hell γέενναν. geennan G1067 ; yea, I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Fear φοβήθητε. phobēthēte G5399 him . 7 But the very hairs τρίχες triches G2359 of your head κεφαλῆς kephalēs G2776 are all numbered ἠρίθμηνται. ērithmēntai G705 . Fear φοβεῖσθε· phobeisthe G5399 not : ye are of more G4183 value than many πολλῶν pollōn G4183 sparrows στρουθίων strouthiōn G4765 . 8 And I say Λέγω Legō G3004 unto you , Every one G3739 who shall confess ὁμολογήσῃ homologēsē G3670 me before men G444 , him shall the Son υἱὸς huios G5207 of man G444 also καὶ kai G2532 confess ὁμολογήσει homologēsei G3670 before the angels ἀγγέλων angelōn G32 of God θεοῦ· theou G2316 : 10 And every one G3739 who shall speak G3004 a word λόγον logon G3056 against the Son υἱὸν huion G5207 of man ἀνθρώπου, anthrōpou G444 , it shall be forgiven ἀφεθήσεται aphethēsetai G863 him : but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy ἅγιον hagion G40 Spirit πνεῦμα pneuma G4151 it shall not be forgiven ἀφεθήσεται.¶ aphethēsetai G863 . 11 And when Ὅταν Hotan G3752 they bring εἰσφέρωσιν eispherōsin G1533 you before the synagogues G4864 , and the rulers ἀρχὰς archas G746 , and the authorities ἐξουσίας, exousias G1849 , be not anxious μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte G3309 how πῶς pōs G4459 or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say G3004 : 13 And one τις tis G5100 out of the multitude G3793 said G3004 unto him , Teacher διδάσκαλε, didaskale G1320 , bid my brother ἀδελφῷ adelphō G80 divide the inheritance κληρονομίαν. klēronomian G2817 with me . 14 But he said G3004 unto him , Man ἄνθρωπε, anthrōpe G444 , who made me a judge κριτὴν kritēn G2923 or a divider over you ? 15 And he said G3004 unto them , Take heed, and keep φυλάσσεσθε phulassesthe G5442 yourselves from all covetousness πλεονεξίας, pleonexias G4124 : for a man’s life ζωὴ zōē G2222 consisteth not in the abundance G4052 of the things G3956 which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable παραβολὴν parabolēn G3850 unto them , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , The ground of a certain τινὸς tinos G5100 rich πλουσίου plousiou G4145 man ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou G444 brought forth plentifully: 17 and he reasoned διελογίζετο dielogizeto G1260 within himself , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , What shall I do , because I have not where ποῦ pou G4226 to bestow my fruits καρπούς karpous G2590 ? 18 And he said G3004 , This will I do : I will pull down my barns ἀποθήκας apothēkas G596 , and build οἰκοδομήσω oikodomēsō G3618 greater G3173 ; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods G18 . 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself , and is not rich πλουτῶν. ploutōn G4147 toward God θεὸν theon G2316 . 22 And he said λέγω legō G3004 unto his disciples G3101 , Therefore I say G3004 unto you , Be not anxious μεριμνᾶτε merimnate G3309 for your life ψυχῇ psuchēa G5590 , what ye shall eat G2068 ; nor yet for your body σώματι sōmati G4983 , what ye shall put ἐνδύσησθε. endusēsthe G1746 on . 24 Consider κατανοήσατε katanoēsate G2657 the ravens , that they sow σπείρουσιν speirousin G4687 not , neither reap θερίζουσιν therizousin G2325 ; which have no store-chamber nor barn ἀποθήκη, apothēkē G596 ; and God θεὸς theos G2316 feedeth them : of how πόσῳ posō G4214 much G4214 more μᾶλλον mallon G3123 value are G1510 ye than the birds πετεινῶν; peteinōn G4071 ! 25 And which of you by being anxious μεριμνῶν merimnōn G3309 can add προσθεῖναι prostheinai G4369 a cubit unto the measure of his life ? 27 Consider κατανοήσατε katanoēsate G2657 the lilies κρίνα krina G2918 , how πῶς pōs G4459 they grow αὐξάνει· auxanei G837 : they toil G2872 not , neither do they spin νήθει. nēthei G3514 ; yet I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Even G3761 Solomon Σολομὼν Solomōn G4672 in all his glory δόξῃ doxē G1391 was not arrayed like one ἓν hen G1520 of these . 28 But if God θεὸς theos G2316 doth so clothe the grass χόρτον chorton G5528 in the field ἀγρῷ agrō G68 , which to-day is G1510 , and to-morrow is G1510 cast G906 into the oven; how πόσῳ posō G4214 much G4214 more μᾶλλον mallon G3123 shall he clothe you , O ye of little faith? 29 And seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 not ye what ye shall eat G2068 , and what ye shall drink πίητε, piēte G4095 , neither be ye of doubtful mind . 30 For all these things G3778 do the nations ἔθνη ethnē G1484 of the world κόσμου kosmou G2889 seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin G1934 after : but your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knoweth that ye have need χρῄζετε chrēzete G5535 of these things G3778 . 31 Yet seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 ye his kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , and these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 shall be added προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai G4369 unto you . 32 Fear φοβοῦ, phobou G5399 not , little μικρὸν mikron G3398 flock ποίμνιον, poimnion G4168 ; for it is your Father’s good pleasure G2106 to give δοῦναι dounai G1325 you the kingdom βασιλείαν. basileian G932 . 33 Sell πωλήσατε pōlēsate G4453 that which ye have , and give δότε dote G1325 alms ἐλεημοσύνην· eleēmosunēn G1654 ; make ποιήσατε poiēsate G4160 for yourselves purses which wax not old παλαιούμενα, palaioumena G3822 , a treasure θησαυρὸν thēsauron G2344 in the heavens οὐρανοῖς ouranois G3772 that faileth not , where ὅπου hopou G3699 no thief κλέπτης kleptēs G2812 draweth near , neither moth σὴς sēs G4597 destroyeth. 36 and be ye yourselves like unto men G444 looking for their lord G2962 , when he shall return from the marriage G1062 feast γάμων, gamōn G1062 ; that , when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open ἀνοίξωσιν anoixōsin G455 unto him . 37 Blessed are those servants δοῦλοι douloi G1401 , whom the lord G2962 when he cometh shall find εὑρήσει heurēsei G2147 watching γρηγοροῦντας· grēgorountas G1127 : verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that he shall gird G4024 himself , and make them sit down to meat , and shall come ἐλθὼν elthōn G2064 and serve διακονήσει diakonēsei G1247 them . 38 And if he shall come ἔλθῃ elthē G2064 in the second δευτέρᾳ deutera G1208 watch φυλακῇ phulakēa G5438 , and if in the third τρίτῃ tritē G5154 , and find εὕρῃ heurē G2147 them so , blessed are G1510 those servants. 44 Of a truth I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that he will set καταστήσει katastēsei G2525 him over all that he hath. 45 But if that servant G3816 shall say G3004 in his heart καρδίᾳ kardia G2588 , My lord G2962 delayeth his coming ἔρχεσθαι, erchesthai G2064 ; and shall begin to beat τύπτειν tuptein G5180 the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat ἐσθίειν esthiein G2068 and drink πίνειν pinein G4095 , and to be drunken; 46 the lord G2962 of that servant δούλου doulou G1401 shall come ἥξει hēxei G2240 in a day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 when he expecteth not , and in an hour ὥρᾳ hōra G5610 when he knoweth not , and shall cut διχοτομήσει dichotomēsei G1371 him asunder, and appoint his portion G3313 with the unfaithful. 47 And that servant δοῦλος doulos G1401 , who knew G1097 his lord’s G2962 will , and made G4160 not ready G2090 , nor did according to his will , shall be beaten δαρήσεται darēsetai G1194 with many πολλάς. pollas G4183 stripes; 48 but he that knew G1097 not , and did things G3956 worthy ἄξια axia G514 of stripes, shall be beaten δαρήσεται darēsetai G1194 with few ὀλίγας. oligas G3641 stripes. And to whomsoever much πολύ, polu G4183 is given G1325 , of him shall much πολὺ polu G4183 be required: and to whom they commit much πολύ, polu G4183 , of him will they ask αἰτήσουσιν aitēsousin G154 the more G4183 . 50 But I have a baptism βάπτισμα baptisma G908 to be baptized G907 with ; and how πῶς pōs G4459 am I straitened till it be accomplished τελεσθῇ. telesthēa G5055 ! 53 They shall be divided G1266 , father πατὴρ patēr G3962 against son υἱῷ huiō G5207 , and son υἱὸς huios G5207 against father πατρί, patri G3962 ; mother μήτηρ mētēr G3384 against daughter θυγατέρα thugatera G2364 , and daughter θυγάτηρ thugatēr G2364 against her mother μητέρα, mētera G3384 ; mother G3384 in law against her daughter G2364 in law, and daughter G2364 in law against her mother G3384 in law. 58 For as thou art going G5217 with thine adversary ἀντιδίκου antidikou G476 before the magistrate , on the way ὁδῷ hodō G3598 give δὸς dos G1325 diligence to be quit of him ; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge κριτήν, kritēn G2923 , and the judge κριτής kritēs G2923 shall deliver παραδώσει paradōsei G3860 thee to the officer πράκτορι, praktori G4233 , and the officer πράκτωρ praktōr G4233 shall cast βαλεῖ balei G906 thee into prison φυλακήν. phulakēn G5438 . 59 I say λέγω legō G3004 unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come ἐξέλθῃς exelthēs G1831 out thence, till thou have paid G591 the very last ἔσχατον eschaton G2078 mite. ← Luke 11 Luke 13 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
