22 And he said λέγω legō G3004 to his disciples G3101 , For this cause I say G3004 unto you , Be not careful for life ψυχῇ psuchēa G5590 , what ye shall eat G2068 , nor for the 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 nor reap θερίζουσιν therizousin G2325 ; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God θεὸς theos G2316 feeds τρέφει trephei G5142 them . How πόσῳ posō G4214 much G4214 better are G1510 ye than the birds πετεινῶν; peteinōn G4071 ? 25 But which of you by being careful can add προσθεῖναι prostheinai G4369 to his stature G2244 one G3588 cubit? 26 If therefore G3767 ye cannot [ do ] even οὐδὲ oude G3761 what is least ἐλάχιστον elachiston G1646 , why τί ti G5101 are ye careful about the rest λοιπῶν loipōn G3062 ? 29 And ye, seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 not what ye shall eat G2068 or what ye shall drink πίητε, piēte G4095 , and be not in anxiety; 30 for all these things G3778 do the nations ἔθνη ethnē G1484 of the world κόσμου kosmou G2889 seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin G1934 after , and your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knows that ye have need χρῄζετε chrēzete G5535 of these things G3778 ; 31 but seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 his kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , and [ all ] these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 shall be added προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai G4369 to you . 32 Fear φοβοῦ, phobou G5399 not , little μικρὸν mikron G3398 flock ποίμνιον, poimnion G4168 , for it has been the good pleasure G2106 of your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 to give δοῦναι dounai G1325 you the kingdom βασιλείαν. basileian G932 . 33 Sell πωλήσατε pōlēsate G4453 what ye possess and give δότε dote G1325 alms ἐλεημοσύνην· eleēmosunēn G1654 ; make ποιήσατε poiēsate G4160 to yourselves purses which do not grow old παλαιούμενα, palaioumena G3822 , a treasure θησαυρὸν thēsauron G2344 which does not fail in the heavens οὐρανοῖς ouranois G3772 , where ὅπου hopou G3699 thief κλέπτης kleptēs G2812 does not draw ἐγγίζει engizei G1448 near nor moth σὴς sēs G4597 destroy διαφθείρει· diaphtheirei G1311 . 36 and ye like men G444 who wait their own G1438 lord G2962 whenever he may leave the wedding γάμων, gamōn G1062 , that when he comes ἐλθόντος elthontos G2064 and knocks G2925 , they may open ἀνοίξωσιν anoixōsin G455 to him immediately εὐθέως eutheōs G2112 . 37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord G2962 [ on ] coming ἐλθὼν elthōn G2064 shall find εὑρήσει heurēsei G2147 watching γρηγοροῦντας· grēgorountas G1127 ; verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that he will gird G4024 himself and make them recline ἀνακλινεῖ anaklinei G347 at table, and coming G2064 up will serve διακονήσει diakonēsei G1247 them . 39 But this know γινώσκετε ginōskete G1097 , that if the master of the house οἶκον oikon G3624 had known G1097 in what hour ὥρᾳ hōra G5610 the thief κλέπτης kleptēs G2812 was coming G2064 , he would have watched, and not have suffered his house G3624 to be dug through. 40 And ye therefore, be ye ready ἕτοιμοι, hetoimoi G2092 , for in the hour ὥρᾳ hōra G5610 in which ye do not think G1380 [ it ], the Son υἱὸς huios G5207 of man ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou G444 comes G2064 . 41 And Peter Πέτρος· Petros G4074 said G3004 to him , Lord κύριε, kurie G2962 , sayest thou this parable παραβολὴν parabolēn G3850 to us , or also καὶ kai G2532 to all ? 43 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord G2962 [ on ] coming ἐλθὼν elthōn G2064 shall find εὑρήσει heurēsei G2147 doing thus οὕτως. houtōs G3779 ; 44 verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that he will set καταστήσει katastēsei G2525 him over all that he has . 45 But if that bondman should say G3004 in his heart καρδίᾳ kardia G2588 , My lord G2962 delays to come ἔρχεσθαι, erchesthai G2064 , and begin to beat τύπτειν tuptein G5180 the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat ἐσθίειν esthiein G2068 and to drink πίνειν pinein G4095 and to be drunken, 46 the lord G2962 of that bondman shall come ἥξει hēxei G2240 in a day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 when he does not expect προσδοκᾷ prosdoka G4328 it , and in an hour ὥρᾳ hōra G5610 he knows γινώσκει ginōskei G1097 not of , and shall cut διχοτομήσει dichotomēsei G1371 him in two and appoint his portion G3313 with the unbelievers ἀπίστων apistōn G571 . 47 But that bondman who knew G1097 his own lord's will , and had not prepared G2090 [ himself ] nor done his will , shall be beaten δαρήσεται darēsetai G1194 with many πολλάς. pollas G4183 [stripes]; 48 but he who knew G1097 [ it ] not , and did things G3956 worthy ἄξια axia G514 of stripes, shall be beaten δαρήσεται darēsetai G1194 with few ὀλίγας. oligas G3641 . And to every one G3739 to whom much πολύ, polu G4183 has been given G1325 , much πολὺ polu G4183 shall be required from him ; and to whom [ men ] have committed much πολύ, polu G4183 , they will ask αἰτήσουσιν aitēsousin G154 from him the more G4183 . 50 But I have a baptism βάπτισμα baptisma G908 to be baptised with , and how πῶς pōs G4459 am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished τελεσθῇ. telesthēa G5055 ! 53 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 mother μητέρα, mētera G3384 ; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law , and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law . 56 Hypocrites ὑποκριταί, hupokritai G5273 , ye know how πῶς pōs G4459 to judge of the appearance πρόσωπον prosōpon G4383 of the earth γῆς gēs G1093 and of the heaven G3772 ; how G4459 [ is it then that ] ye do not discern this time καιρὸν kairon G2540 ? 58 For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate , strive in the way ὁδῷ hodō G3598 to be reconciled with him , lest he drag thee away G5217 to 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 cast βαλεῖ balei G906 thee into prison φυλακήν. phulakēn G5438 . 59 I say λέγω legō G3004 unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come ἐξέλθῃς exelthēs G1831 out thence until thou hast paid G591 the very last ἔσχατον eschaton G2078 mite.
