Chapter 6
The Lord of the Sabbath
1
- [One] Sabbath - [Jesus] was passing through [the] grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub [them] in [their] hands, and eat [them].
ἐν σαββάτῳ δὲ Ἐγένετο αὐτὸν διαπορεύεσθαι διὰ σπορίμων καὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἔτιλλον τοὺς στάχυας ψώχοντες ταῖς χερσίν καὶ ἤσθιον en sabbatō de Egeneto auton diaporeuesthai dia sporimōn kai autou hoi mathētai etillon tous stachyas psōchontes tais chersin kai ēsthion — NA/TR · 1
2
But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what vvv is unlawful [on] the Sabbath?
δὲ τινὲς τῶν Φαρισαίων εἶπαν Τί ποιεῖτε ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν de tines tōn Pharisaiōn eipan Ti poieite ho ouk exestin tois sabbasin — NA/TR · 2
3
Καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Οὐδὲ ἀνέγνωτε τοῦτο ὃ Δαυὶδ ἐποίησεν ὁπότε αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ὄντες μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπείνασεν Kai ho Iēsous apokritheis eipen pros autous Oude anegnōte touto ho Dauid epoiēsen hopote autos kai hoi ontes met’ autou epeinasen — NA/TR · 3
4
- He entered… the house of God, took the consecrated bread… and gave [it] to his companions…, [and] ate what is lawful only for… the priests to eat.
ὡς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως καὶ ἔδωκεν τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἔφαγεν οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστιν εἰ μὴ μόνους τοὺς ἱερεῖς φαγεῖν hōs eisēlthen eis ton oikon tou Theou kai labōn tous artous tēs protheseōs kai edōken tois met’ autou ephagen hous ouk exestin ei mē monous tous hiereis phagein — NA/TR · 4
5
Then [Jesus] declared -, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐστιν Κύριός τοῦ σαββάτου kai elegen autois ho Huios tou anthrōpou estin Kyrios tou sabbatou — NA/TR · 5
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
6
On another Sabbath - [Jesus] entered… the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there [whose] right hand was withered.
ἐν ἑτέρῳ σαββάτῳ δὲ Ἐγένετο αὐτὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ διδάσκειν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐκεῖ καὶ αὐτοῦ ἡ δεξιὰ ἡ χεὶρ ἦν ξηρά en heterō sabbatō de Egeneto auton eiselthein eis tēn synagōgēn kai didaskein kai anthrōpos ēn ekei kai autou hē dexia hē cheir ēn xēra — NA/TR · 6
7
vvv Looking for a reason to accuse [Jesus], the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely… [to see] if He would heal on the Sabbath.
ἵνα εὕρωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι παρετηροῦντο αὐτὸν εἰ θεραπεύει ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ hina heurōsin katēgorein autou de hoi grammateis kai hoi Pharisaioi paretērounto auton ei therapeuei en tō sabbatō — NA/TR · 7
8
But [Jesus] knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand vvv vvv among [us]. So he got up [and] stood [there].
δὲ Αὐτὸς ᾔδει αὐτῶν τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς δὲ εἶπεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἔχοντι τὴν ξηρὰν χεῖρα Ἔγειρε καὶ στῆθι εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ ἀναστὰς ἔστη de Autos ēdei autōn tous dialogismous de eipen tō andri tō echonti tēn xēran cheira Egeire kai stēthi eis to meson kai anastas estē — NA/TR · 8
9
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy [it]?
δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Ἐπερωτῶ ὑμᾶς εἰ ἔξεστιν τῷ σαββάτῳ ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι σῶσαι ψυχὴν ἢ ἀπολέσαι de ho Iēsous eipen pros autous Eperōtō hymas ei exestin tō sabbatō agathopoiēsai ē kakopoiēsai sōsai psychēn ē apolesai — NA/TR · 9
10
And after looking around at all of them, He said to [the man], “Stretch out your hand. - He did [so], and vvv vvv [it] was restored.
Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος πάντας αὐτοὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἔκτεινον σου τὴν χεῖρά δὲ ὁ ἐποίησεν καὶ αὐτοῦ ἡ χεὶρ ἀπεκατεστάθη Kai periblepsamenos pantas autous eipen autō Ekteinon sou tēn cheira de ho epoiēsen kai autou hē cheir apekatestathē — NA/TR · 10
11
But [the scribes and Pharisees] were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what… they might do to Jesus.
δὲ αὐτοὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἀνοίας καὶ διελάλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους τί ἂν ποιήσαιεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ de autoi eplēsthēsan anoias kai dielaloun pros allēlous ti an poiēsaien tō Iēsou — NA/TR · 11
The Twelve Apostles
12
- In those days vvv [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and vvv He spent the night in prayer to God.
δὲ Ἐγένετο ἐν ταύταις ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτὸν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι καὶ ἦν διανυκτερεύων ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ de Egeneto en tautais tais hēmerais auton exelthein eis to oros proseuxasthai kai ēn dianyktereuōn en tē proseuchē tou Theou — NA/TR · 12
13
- When daylight came, He called His disciples {to Him} and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
καὶ ὅτε ἡμέρα ἐγένετο προσεφώνησεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ ἐκλεξάμενος δώδεκα ἀπ’ αὐτῶν οὓς καὶ ὠνόμασεν ἀποστόλους kai hote hēmera egeneto prosephōnēsen autou tous mathētas kai eklexamenos dōdeka ap’ autōn hous kai ōnomasen apostolous — NA/TR · 13
14
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
Σίμωνα ὃν καὶ ὠνόμασεν Πέτρον καὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἀνδρέαν καὶ Ἰάκωβον καὶ Ἰωάννην καὶ Φίλιππον καὶ Βαρθολομαῖον Simōna hon kai ōnomasen Petron kai autou ton adelphon Andrean kai Iakōbon kai Iōannēn kai Philippon kai Bartholomaion — NA/TR · 14
15
- Matthew and Thomas; James [son of] Alphaeus and Simon called [the] Zealot;
καὶ Μαθθαῖον καὶ Θωμᾶν καὶ Ἰάκωβον Ἁλφαίου καὶ Σίμωνα τὸν καλούμενον Ζηλωτὴν kai Maththaion kai Thōman kai Iakōbon Halphaiou kai Simōna ton kaloumenon Zēlōtēn — NA/TR · 15
16
- Judas [son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became [a] traitor.
καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριὼθ ὃς ἐγένετο προδότης kai Ioudan Iakōbou kai Ioudan Iskariōth hos egeneto prodotēs — NA/TR · 16
Jesus Heals the Multitudes
17
Then [Jesus] came down with them [and] stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples [was there], along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.
Καὶ καταβὰς μετ’ αὐτῶν ἔστη ἐπὶ πεδινοῦ τόπου καὶ πολὺς ὄχλος αὐτοῦ μαθητῶν καὶ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τῆς παραλίου Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος Kai katabas met’ autōn estē epi pedinou topou kai polys ochlos autou mathētōn kai poly plēthos tou laou apo pasēs tēs Ioudaias kai Ierousalēm kai tēs paraliou Tyrou kai Sidōnos — NA/TR · 17
18
They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
οἳ ἦλθον ἀκοῦσαι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰαθῆναι ἀπὸ αὐτῶν τῶν νόσων καὶ οἱ ἐνοχλούμενοι ἀπὸ ἀκαθάρτων πνευμάτων ἐθεραπεύοντο hoi ēlthon akousai autou kai iathēnai apo autōn tōn nosōn kai hoi enochloumenoi apo akathartōn pneumatōn etherapeuonto — NA/TR · 18
19
- The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
καὶ ὁ πᾶς ὄχλος ἐζήτουν ἅπτεσθαι αὐτοῦ ὅτι δύναμις ἐξήρχετο παρ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰᾶτο πάντας kai ho pas ochlos ezētoun haptesthai autou hoti dynamis exērcheto par’ autou kai iato pantas — NA/TR · 19
The Beatitudes
20
- Looking up… at His disciples, [Jesus] said: “Blessed [are] [you] who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Καὶ ἐπάρας αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς εἰς αὐτοῦ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτὸς ἔλεγεν Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί Ὅτι ὑμετέρα ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ Kai eparas autou tous ophthalmous eis autou tous mathētas autos elegen Makarioi hoi ptōchoi Hoti hymetera estin hē basileia tou Theou — NA/TR · 20
21
Blessed [are] [you] who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed [are] [you] who weep now, for you will laugh.
Μακάριοι οἱ πεινῶντες νῦν Ὅτι χορτασθήσεσθε Μακάριοι οἱ κλαίοντες νῦν Ὅτι γελάσετε Makarioi hoi peinōntes nyn Hoti chortasthēsesthe Makarioi hoi klaiontes nyn Hoti gelasete — NA/TR · 21
22
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude [you] and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
Μακάριοί ἐστε ὅταν οἱ ἄνθρωποι μισήσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ ὅταν ἀφορίσωσιν καὶ ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐκβάλωσιν ὑμῶν τὸ ὄνομα ὡς πονηρὸν ἕνεκα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου Makarioi este hotan hoi anthrōpoi misēsōsin hymas kai hotan aphorisōsin kai oneidisōsin hymas kai ekbalōsin hymōn to onoma hōs ponēron heneka tou Huiou tou anthrōpou — NA/TR · 22
23
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because… great [is] your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets vvv vvv in the same way.
χάρητε ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ σκιρτήσατε γὰρ ἰδοὺ πολὺς ὑμῶν ὁ μισθὸς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ γὰρ αὐτὰ οἱ πατέρες ἐποίουν τοῖς προφήταις κατὰ τὰ αὐτῶν charēte en ekeinē tē hēmera kai skirtēsate gar idou polys hymōn ho misthos en tō ouranō gar auta hoi pateres epoioun tois prophētais kata ta autōn — NA/TR · 23
Woes to the Satisfied
24
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
Πλὴν οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς πλουσίοις Ὅτι ἀπέχετε ὑμῶν τὴν παράκλησιν Plēn ouai hymin tois plousiois Hoti apechete hymōn tēn paraklēsin — NA/TR · 24
25
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to [you] who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν οἱ ἐμπεπλησμένοι νῦν Ὅτι πεινάσετε Οὐαί οἱ γελῶντες νῦν Ὅτι πενθήσετε καὶ κλαύσετε Ouai hymin hoi empeplēsmenoi nyn Hoti peinasete Ouai hoi gelōntes nyn Hoti penthēsete kai klausete — NA/TR · 25
26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets vvv vvv in the same way.
Οὐαὶ ὅταν πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἴπωσιν καλῶς ὑμᾶς γὰρ αὐτὰ οἱ πατέρες ἐποίουν τοῖς ψευδοπροφήταις Κατὰ τὰ αὐτῶν Ouai hotan pantes hoi anthrōpoi eipōsin kalōs hymas gar auta hoi pateres epoioun tois pseudoprophētais Kata ta autōn — NA/TR · 26
Love Your Enemies
27
But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Ἀλλὰ ὑμῖν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν λέγω Ἀγαπᾶτε ὑμῶν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ποιεῖτε καλῶς τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς Alla hymin tois akouousin legō Agapate hymōn tous echthrous poieite kalōs tois misousin hymas — NA/TR · 27
28
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς προσεύχεσθε περὶ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς eulogeite tous katarōmenous hymas proseuchesthe peri tōn epēreazontōn hymas — NA/TR · 28
29
[If someone] strikes you on [one] cheek, turn to him the other also. And vvv [if someone] takes your cloak, do not withhold [your] tunic as well.
τύπτοντί σε ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα πάρεχε τῷ τὴν ἄλλην καὶ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντός σου τὸ ἱμάτιον μὴ κωλύσῃς τὸν χιτῶνα καὶ typtonti se epi tēn siagona pareche tō tēn allēn kai kai apo tou airontos sou to himation mē kōlysēs ton chitōna kai — NA/TR · 29
30
Give to everyone who asks you, and vvv [if anyone] takes what [is] yours, {do} not demand [it] back.
δίδου παντὶ αἰτοῦντί σε καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντος τὰ σὰ μὴ ἀπαίτει didou panti aitounti se kai apo tou airontos ta sa mē apaitei — NA/TR · 30
31
- Do to [others] as you would have - [them] do to you.
καὶ ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα οἱ ἄνθρωποι ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν kai poieite autois homoiōs kathōs thelete hina hoi anthrōpoi poiōsin hymin — NA/TR · 31
32
- If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
Καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς ποία χάρις ἐστίν ὑμῖν γὰρ καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀγαπῶσιν τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς Kai ei agapate tous agapōntas hymas poia charis estin hymin gar kai hoi hamartōloi agapōsin tous agapōntas autous — NA/TR · 32
33
- If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς ποία χάρις ἐστίν ὑμῖν καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ποιοῦσιν τὸ αὐτὸ kai gar ean agathopoiēte tous agathopoiountas hymas poia charis estin hymin kai hoi hamartōloi poiousin to auto — NA/TR · 33
34
And if you lend [to those] from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
καὶ ἐὰν δανίσητε παρ’ ὧν ἐλπίζετε λαβεῖν ποία χάρις ἐστίν ὑμῖν καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ δανίζουσιν ἁμαρτωλοῖς ἵνα ἀπολάβωσιν τὰ ἴσα kai ean danisēte par’ hōn elpizete labein poia charis estin hymin kai hamartōloi danizousin hamartōlois hina apolabōsin ta isa — NA/TR · 34
35
But love your enemies, do good [to them], and lend [to them], expecting nothing in return… Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε ὑμῶν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανίζετε ἀπελπίζοντες μηδὲν καὶ ὑμῶν ὁ μισθὸς ἔσται πολύς καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐστιν χρηστός ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς Plēn agapate hymōn tous echthrous kai agathopoieite kai danizete apelpizontes mēden kai hymōn ho misthos estai polys kai esesthe huioi Hypsistou hoti autos estin chrēstos epi tous acharistous kai ponērous — NA/TR · 35
36
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Γίνεσθε οἰκτίρμονες καὶ καθὼς ὑμῶν ὁ Πατὴρ ἐστίν οἰκτίρμων Ginesthe oiktirmones kai kathōs hymōn ho Patēr estin oiktirmōn — NA/TR · 36
Judging Others
37
- {Do} not judge, and vvv vvv you will not be judged. {Do} not condemn, and vvv vvv you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Καὶ μὴ κρίνετε καὶ οὐ μὴ κριθῆτε καὶ μὴ καταδικάζετε καὶ οὐ μὴ καταδικασθῆτε ἀπολύετε καὶ ἀπολυθήσεσθε Kai mē krinete kai ou mē krithēte kai mē katadikazete kai ou mē katadikasthēte apolyete kai apolythēsesthe — NA/TR · 37
38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, [and] running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you [use], it will be measured back to you.
δίδοτε καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν καλὸν μέτρον πεπιεσμένον σεσαλευμένον ὑπερεκχυννόμενον δώσουσιν εἰς ὑμῶν τὸν κόλπον γὰρ ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε ἀντιμετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν didote kai dothēsetai hymin kalon metron pepiesmenon sesaleumenon hyperekchynnomenon dōsousin eis hymōn ton kolpon gar hō metrō metreite antimetrēthēsetai hymin — NA/TR · 38
39
- [Jesus] also told… them a parable: “Can a blind [man] vvv lead a blind [man]? {Will they} not both fall into a pit?
δὲ Εἶπεν καὶ αὐτοῖς παραβολὴν δύναται τυφλὸς Μήτι ὁδηγεῖν τυφλὸν οὐχὶ ἀμφότεροι ἐμπεσοῦνται εἰς βόθυνον de Eipen kai autois parabolēn dynatai typhlos Mēti hodēgein typhlon ouchi amphoteroi empesountai eis bothynon — NA/TR · 39
40
A disciple is not above [his] teacher, but everyone [who is] fully trained will be like his teacher.
μαθητὴς ἔστιν οὐκ ὑπὲρ τὸν διδάσκαλον δὲ πᾶς κατηρτισμένος ἔσται ὡς ὁ αὐτοῦ διδάσκαλος mathētēs estin ouk hyper ton didaskalon de pas katērtismenos estai hōs ho autou didaskalos — NA/TR · 40
41
- Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice [the] beam in [your] own eye?
δὲ Τί βλέπεις τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ σου ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ ὀφθαλμῷ τὴν δὲ οὐ κατανοεῖς δοκὸν τὴν ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ ὀφθαλμῷ de Ti blepeis to karphos to en tō sou adelphou tou ophthalmō tēn de ou katanoeis dokon tēn en tō idiō ophthalmō — NA/TR · 41
42
How can you say - -, ‘Brother, let me take the speck {out} of your eye, [while] you yourself vvv fail to see [the] beam in your own eye? [You] hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from - your brother’s eye.
πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν τῷ σου ἀδελφῷ Ἀδελφέ ἄφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ σου ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτὸς οὐ βλέπων δοκὸν τὴν ἐν τῷ σοῦ ὀφθαλμῷ ὑποκριτά πρῶτον ἔκβαλε τὴν δοκὸν ἐκ σοῦ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ καὶ τότε διαβλέψεις ἐκβαλεῖν τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ τοῦ σου ἀδελφοῦ ὀφθαλμῷ pōs dynasai legein tō sou adelphō Adelphe aphes ekbalō to karphos to en tō sou ophthalmō autos ou blepōn dokon tēn en tō sou ophthalmō hypokrita prōton ekbale tēn dokon ek sou tou ophthalmou kai tote diablepseis ekbalein to karphos to en tō tou sou adelphou ophthalmō — NA/TR · 42
A Tree and Its Fruit
43
- No good tree bears bad fruit, nor [does] [a] bad tree bear good fruit.
γάρ ἐστιν Οὐ καλὸν δένδρον ποιοῦν σαπρόν καρπὸν οὐδὲ πάλιν σαπρὸν δένδρον ποιοῦν καλόν καρπὸν gar estin Ou kalon dendron poioun sapron karpon oude palin sapron dendron poioun kalon karpon — NA/TR · 43
44
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, vvv figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
γὰρ ἕκαστον δένδρον γινώσκεται ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου καρποῦ γὰρ οὐ σῦκα συλλέγουσιν ἐξ ἀκανθῶν οὐδὲ τρυγῶσιν σταφυλὴν ἐκ βάτου gar hekaston dendron ginōsketai ek tou idiou karpou gar ou syka syllegousin ex akanthōn oude trygōsin staphylēn ek batou — NA/TR · 44
45
The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil [man] brings evil [things] out of the evil [treasure of his heart]. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἄνθρωπος προφέρει ἀγαθόν τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ θησαυροῦ τῆς αὐτοῦ καρδίας καὶ ὁ πονηρὸς προφέρει τὸ πονηρόν ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ γὰρ ἐκ περισσεύματος καρδίας αὐτοῦ τὸ στόμα λαλεῖ ho agathos anthrōpos propherei agathon to ek tou agathou thēsaurou tēs autou kardias kai ho ponēros propherei to ponēron ek tou ponērou gar ek perisseumatos kardias autou to stoma lalei — NA/TR · 45
The House on the Rock
46
- Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord, [but] {do} not do what I say?
δέ Τί καλεῖτε με Κύριε κύριε καὶ οὐ ποιεῖτε ἃ λέγω de Ti kaleite me Kyrie kyrie kai ou poieite ha legō — NA/TR · 46
47
I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
ὑποδείξω ὑμῖν τίνι ἐστὶν ὅμοιος Πᾶς ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρός με καὶ ἀκούων μου τῶν λόγων καὶ ποιῶν αὐτούς hypodeixō hymin tini estin homoios Pas ho erchomenos pros me kai akouōn mou tōn logōn kai poiōn autous — NA/TR · 47
48
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid [his] foundation on the rock. When [the] flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built…
ἐστιν ὅμοιός ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομοῦντι οἰκίαν ὃς ἔσκαψεν καὶ ἐβάθυνεν καὶ ἔθηκεν θεμέλιον ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν δὲ πλημμύρης γενομένης ὁ ποταμὸς προσέρηξεν ἐκείνῃ τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ ἴσχυσεν οὐκ σαλεῦσαι αὐτὴν διὰ αὐτήν τὸ οἰκοδομῆσθαι καλῶς estin homoios anthrōpō oikodomounti oikian hos eskapsen kai ebathynen kai ethēken themelion epi tēn petran de plēmmyrēs genomenēs ho potamos proserēxen ekeinē tē oikia kai ischysen ouk saleusai autēn dia autēn to oikodomēsthai kalōs — NA/TR · 48
49
But the [one who] hears [My words] and {does} not act on them is like a man who built [his] house on ground without [a] foundation. The torrent crashed against [that house], and immediately it fell— and great was vvv vvv vvv [its] destruction!
δὲ ὁ ἀκούσας καὶ μὴ ποιήσας ἐστιν ὅμοιός ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν χωρὶς θεμελίου ὁ ποταμός προσέρηξεν ᾗ καὶ εὐθὺς συνέπεσεν καὶ μέγα ἐγένετο τὸ τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης ῥῆγμα de ho akousas kai mē poiēsas estin homoios anthrōpō oikodomēsanti oikian epi tēn gēn chōris themeliou ho potamos proserēxen hē kai euthys synepesen kai mega egeneto to tēs oikias ekeinēs rhēgma — NA/TR · 49
