Κἀκεῖθεν From there ἐξελθόντος having gone forth αὐτοῦ of Him, ἤρξαντο began οἱ the γραμματεῖς scribes καί and οἱ the Φαρισαῖοι Pharisees δεινῶς urgently ἐνέχειν to press upon [Him] καί and ἀποστοματίζειν to make speak αὐτόν Him περί about πλειόνων, many things, ἐνεδρεύοντες watching αὐτόν Him θηρεῦσαι to catch τὶ in something ἐκ out of τοῦ the στόματος mouth αὐτοῦ. of Him. ἐν In οἷς these [times], ἐπισυναχθεισῶν having been gathered together τῶν the μυριάδων myriads τοῦ of the ὄχλου, crowd ὥστε so as καταπατεῖν to trample upon ἀλλήλους, one another, ἤρξατο He began λέγειν to say πρός to τούς the μαθητάς disciples αὐτοῦ of Him πρῶτον· first, Προσέχετε Take heed ἑαυτοῖς to yourselves ἀπό of τῆς the ζύμης, leaven, ἥτις which ἐστίν is ὑπόκρισις, hypocrisy, τῶν of the Φαρισαίων. Pharisees.

οὐδέν Nothing δέ now συγκεκαλυμμένον concealed up ἐστίν is, ὅ which οὐ not ἀποκαλυφθήσεται will be revealed, καί nor κρυπτόν hidden ὅ which οὐ not γνωσθήσεται. will be known. ἀνθ ̓ Instead, ὧν that ὅσα whatever ἐν in τῇ the σκοτίᾳ darkness εἴπατε you have said, ἐν in τῷ the φωτί light ἀκουσθήσεται, will be heard; καί and ὅ what πρός into τό the οὖς ear ἐλαλήσατε you have spoken ἐν in τοῖς the ταμείοις inner rooms κηρυχθήσεται will be proclaimed ἐπί upon τῶν the δωμάτων. housetops.

Λέγω I say δέ now ὑμῖν to you, τοῖς those φίλοις friends μου, of Me, μή not φοβηθῆτε you should fear ἀπό because τῶν of those ἀποκτεινόντων killing τό the σῶμα body καί and μετά after ταῦτα these things μή not ἐχόντων being able περισσότερον more abundantly τὶ anything ποιῆσαι. to do. ὑποδείξω I will show δέ however ὑμῖν you τίνα whom φοβηθῆτε· you should fear: φοβήθητε Fear τόν the [One who] μετά after τό the ἀποκτεῖναι killing, ἔχοντα has ἐξουσίαν authority ἐμβαλεῖν to cast εἰς into τήν - γέενναν. hell. ναί Yes, λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, τοῦτον Him φοβήθητε. fear.

Λέγω I say δέ now ὑμῖν, to you, πᾶς everyone ὅς who ἄν - ὁμολογήσῃ will confess ἐν in ἐμοί Me ἔμπροσθεν before τῶν the ἀνθρώπων, men, καί also ὁ the Υἱός Son τοῦ - ἀνθρώπου of Man ὁμολογήσει will confess ἐν in αὐτῷ him ἔμπροσθεν before τῶν the ἀγγέλων angels τοῦ - Θεοῦ· of God; ὁ the [one] δέ now ἀρνησάμενος having denied με Me ἐνώπιον before τῶν - ἀνθρώπων men, ἀπαρνηθήσεται will be denied ἐνώπιον before τῶν the ἀγγέλων angels τοῦ - Θεοῦ. of God.

καί And πᾶς everyone ὅς who ἐρεῖ will speak λόγον a word εἰς against τόν the Υἱόν Son τοῦ - ἀνθρώπου, of Man, ἀφεθήσεται it will be forgiven αὐτῷ· him; τῷ the [one] δέ however εἰς against τό the Ἅγιον Holy Πνεῦμα Spirit βλασφημήσαντι having blasphemed, οὐ not ἀφεθήσεται. will be forgiven.

Ὅταν When δέ then εἰσφέρωσιν they bring ὑμᾶς you ἐπί before τάς the συναγωγάς synagogues, καί and τάς the ἀρχάς rulers, καί and τάς the ἐξουσίας, authorities, μή not μεριμνήσητε be anxious πῶς how ἤ or τί what ἀπολογήσησθε you shall reply in defense, ἤ or τί what εἴπητε· you should say; τό the γάρ for Ἅγιον Holy Πνεῦμα Spirit διδάξει will teach ὑμᾶς you ἐν in αὐτῇ same τῇ the ὥρᾳ hour ἅ what δεῖ it behooves [you] εἰπεῖν. to say.

Εἶπεν Said δέ then τὶς one ἐκ from τοῦ the ὄχλου crowd αὐτῷ· to Him, Διδάσκαλε, Teacher, εἰπέ say τῷ to the ἀδελφῷ brother μου of me μερίσασθαι to divide μετ ̓ with ἐμοῦ me τήν the κληρονομίαν. inheritance. ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν He said αὐτῷ· to him, Ἄνθρωπε, Man, τίς who με Me κατέστησεν appointed κριτήν a judge ἤ or μεριστήν partitioner ἐφ ̓ over ὑμᾶς; you? εἶπεν He said δέ then πρός to αὐτούς· them, Ὁρᾶτε Beware καί and φυλάσσεσθε keep yourselves ἀπό from πάσης all πλεονεξίας, covetousness; ὅτι for οὐ not ἐν in τῷ the περισσεύειν abundance τινί to anyone, ἡ the ζωή life αὐτοῦ to him ἐστίν is ἐκ of τῶν that which ὑπαρχόντων possesses αὐτῷ. of him.

Εἶπεν He spoke δέ then παραβολήν a parable πρός to αὐτούς them, λέγων· saying, Ἀνθρώπου Of a man τινός certain πλουσίου rich εὐφόρησεν brought forth abundantly ἡ the χώρα. ground. καί And διελογίζετο he was reasoning ἐν within ἑαυτῷ himself, λέγων· saying, Τί What ποιήσω, shall I do, ὅτι for οὐ not ἔχω I have ποῦ where συνάξω I will store up τούς the καρπούς fruits μου; of me? καί And εἶπεν· he said, Τοῦτο This ποιήσω, will I do: καθελῶ I will tear down μου my τάς - ἀποθήκας barns καί and μείζονας greater οἰκοδομήσω will build, καί and συνάξω will store up ἐκεῖ there πάντα all τόν the σῖτον grain καί and τά the ἀγαθά goods μου of me. καί And ἐρῶ I will say τῇ to the ψυχῇ soul μου· of me, Ψυχή, Soul, ἔχεις you have πολλά many ἀγαθά good things κείμενα laid up εἰς for ἔτη years πολλά· many; ἀναπαύου, take your rest; φάγε, eat, πίε, drink, εὐφραίνου. be merry. Εἶπεν Said δέ then αὐτῷ to him ὁ - Θεός· God, Ἄφρων, Fool! ταύτῃ This τῇ - νυκτί night, τήν the ψυχήν soul σου of you ἀπαιτοῦσιν is required ἀπό of σοῦ· you; ἅ what δέ now ἡτοίμασας, you did prepare — τίνι to whom ἔσται; will [it] be? Οὕτως So [is] ὁ the [one] θησαυρίζων treasuring up ἑαυτῷ for himself, καί and μή not εἰς toward Θεόν God πλουτῶν. being rich.

Εἶπεν He said δέ then πρός to τούς the μαθητάς disciples αὐτοῦ· of Him, Διά Because of τοῦτο this λέγω I say ὑμῖν· to you, μή not μεριμνᾶτε be anxious τῇ for the ψυχῇ life, τί what φάγητε, you should eat, μηδέ nor τῷ for the σώματι body τί what ἐνδύσησθε. you should put on. ἡ The γάρ for ψυχή life πλεῖον more than ἐστίν is τῆς the τροφῆς food, καί and τό the σῶμα body τοῦ than the ἐνδύματος. clothing. κατανοήσατε Consider τούς the κόρακας ravens, ὅτι that οὐ not σπείρουσιν they sow οὐδέ nor θερίζουσιν, reap; οἷς to them οὐ not ἔστιν there is ταμεῖον a storehouse οὐδέ nor ἀποθήκη, barn — καί and ὁ - Θεός God τρέφει feeds αὐτούς· them. πόσῳ How much μᾶλλον more ὑμεῖς you διαφέρετε are valuable τῶν than the πετεινῶν. birds! τίς Which δέ now ἐκ of ὑμῶν you, μεριμνῶν being anxious, δύναται is able ἐπί to τήν the ἡλικίαν lifespan αὐτοῦ of him προσθεῖναι to add πῆχυν; one hour? εἰ If οὖν then οὐδέ not even ἐλάχιστον [the] least δύνασθε, you are able [to do], τί why περί about τῶν the λοιπῶν rest μεριμνᾶτε; are you anxious? Κατανοήσατε Consider τά the κρίνα lilies, πῶς how αὐξάνει· they grow: οὐ Not κοπιᾷ do they labor, οὐδέ nor νήθει· do they spin. λέγω I say δέ however ὑμῖν, to you, οὐδέ not even Σολομών Solomon ἐν in πάσῃ all τῇ the δόξῃ glory αὐτοῦ of him περιεβάλετο was arrayed ὡς as ἕν one τούτων. of these. εἰ If δέ however ἐν in [the] ἀγρῷ field τόν the χόρτον grass, ὄντα being [here] σήμερον today καί and αὔριον tomorrow εἰς into κλίβανον the furnace βαλλόμενον being thrown, ὁ - Θεός God οὕτως thus ἀμφιέζει, clothes, πόσῳ how much μᾶλλον more ὑμᾶς, you, ὀλιγόπιστοι.
