Τούτους These τούς - δώδεκα twelve ἀπέστειλεν sent forth ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus, παραγγείλας having instructed αὐτοῖς them, λέγων· saying, εἰς Into ὁδόν [the] way ἐθνῶν of the Gentiles μή not ἀπέλθητε go off, καί and εἰς into πόλιν any city Σαμαριτῶν of [the] Samaritans μή not εἰσέλθητε· enter; πορεύεσθε go δέ however μᾶλλον rather πρός to τά those πρόβατα sheep τά - ἀπολωλότα being lost οἴκου of [the] house Ἰσραήλ. of Israel. πορευόμενοι Going on δέ also κηρύσσετε proclaim, λέγοντες saying ὅτι -, Ἤγγικεν Has drawn near ἡ The βασιλεία kingdom τῶν of the οὐρανῶν. heavens. ἀσθενοῦντας [Those] ailing θεραπεύετε, heal, νεκρούς dead ἐγείρετε, raise, λεπρούς lepers καθαρίζετε, cleanse, δαιμόνια demons ἐκβάλλετε· cast out; δωρεάν freely ἐλάβετε, you received, δωρεάν freely δότε. give. Μή Neither κτήσησθε take along χρυσόν gold, μηδέ nor ἄργυρον silver, μηδέ nor χαλκόν copper εἰς in τάς the ζώνας belts ὑμῶν, of you, μή nor πήραν provision-bag εἰς for ὁδόν [the] way, μηδέ nor δύο two χιτῶνας tunics, μηδέ nor ὑποδήματα sandals, μηδέ nor ῥάβδον· a staff; ἄξιος worthy [is] γάρ for ὁ the ἐργάτης workman τῆς of the τροφῆς provisions αὐτοῦ. of him. εἰς Into ἥν whatever δ ̓ now ἄν - πόλιν city ἤ or κώμην village εἰσέλθητε, you enter, ἐξετάσατε inquire τίς who ἐν in αὐτῇ it ἄξιος worthy ἐστίν· is, κἀκεῖ and there μείνατε remain ἕως until ἄν - ἐξέλθητε. you go forth. εἰσερχόμενοι Entering δέ now εἰς into τήν the οἰκίαν house, ἀσπάσασθε greet αὐτήν· it. καί And ἐάν if μέν indeed ᾖ be ἡ the οἰκία house ἀξία, worthy, ἐλθάτω let come ἡ the εἰρήνη peace ὑμῶν of you ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτήν, it; ἐάν if δέ however μή not ᾖ it be ἀξία, worthy, ἡ the εἰρήνη peace ὑμῶν of you πρός to ὑμᾶς you ἐπιστραφήτω. let return. καί And ὅς whoever ἄν - μή not δέξηται will receive ὑμᾶς you, μηδέ nor ἀκούσῃ will hear τούς the λόγους words ὑμῶν, of you, ἐξερχόμενοι going forth ἔξω out τῆς of the οἰκίας house ἤ or τῆς of the πόλεως city ἐκείνης that, ἐκτινάξατε shake off τόν the κονιορτόν dust τῶν of the ποδῶν feet ὑμῶν. of you! ἀμήν Truly λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, ἀνεκτότερον More tolerable ἔσται it will be γῇ for [the] land Σοδόμων of Sodom καί and Γομόρρων of Gomorrah ἐν on ἡμέρᾳ day κρίσεως of judgment, ἤ than τῇ the πόλει city ἐκείνῃ. for that.

Ἰδού Behold, ἐγώ I ἀποστέλλω send forth ὑμᾶς you ὡς as πρόβατα sheep ἐν in μέσῳ [the] midst λύκων· of wolves; γίνεσθε be you οὖν therefore φρόνιμοι shrewd ὡς as οἱ the ὄφεις serpents, καί and ἀκέραιοι innocent ὡς as αἱ the περιστεραί. doves.

Προσέχετε Beware δέ however ἀπό of τῶν - ἀνθρώπων· men; παραδώσουσιν they will deliver γάρ for ὑμᾶς you εἰς into συνέδρια courts, καί and ἐν in ταῖς the συναγωγαῖς synagogues αὐτῶν of them, μαστιγώσουσιν they will flog ὑμᾶς· you; καί and ἐπί before ἡγεμόνας governors δέ also, καί and βασιλεῖς kings ἀχθήσεσθε you will be brought, ἕνεκεν on account of ἐμοῦ Me, εἰς for μαρτύριον a testimony αὐτοῖς to them καί and τοῖς to the ἔθνεσιν. Gentiles. ὅταν When δέ then παραδῶσιν they deliver up ὑμᾶς, you, μή not μεριμνήσητε be anxious πῶς how ἤ or τί what λαλήσητε· you should speak; δοθήσεται it will be given γάρ for ὑμῖν you ἐν in ἐκείνῃ that τῇ - ὥρᾳ hour τί what λαλήσητε· you should say. οὐ Not γάρ for ὑμεῖς you ἐστέ are οἱ those λαλοῦντες speaking, ἀλλά but τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit τοῦ of the Πατρός Father ὑμῶν of you τό - λαλοῦν speaking ἐν through ὑμῖν. you.

Παραδώσει Will deliver up δέ now ἀδελφός brother, ἀδελφόν brother εἰς to θάνατον death; καί and πατήρ father, τέκνον, child. καί And ἐπαναστήσονται will rise up τέκνα children ἐπί against γονεῖς parents, καί and θανατώσουσιν will put to death αὐτούς. them. καί And ἔσεσθε you will be μισούμενοι hated ὑπό by πάντων all διά on account of τό the ὄνομα name μου· of Me; ὁ the [one] δέ however ὑπομείνας having endured εἰς to τέλος [the] end, οὗτος he σωθήσεται. will be saved.

Ὅταν Whenever δέ then διώκωσιν they persecute ὑμᾶς you ἐν in τῇ the πόλει city ταύτῃ, one, φεύγετε flee εἰς to τήν the ἑτέραν· next. ἀμήν Truly γάρ for λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, οὐ no μή not τελέσητε shall you have completed τάς the πόλεις cities τοῦ of Ἰσραήλ Israel ἕως until ἄν - ἔλθῃ be come ὁ the Υἱός Son τοῦ of ἀνθρώπου. Man.

οὐκ Not ἔστιν is μαθητής a disciple ὑπέρ above τόν the διδάσκαλον teacher, οὐδέ nor δοῦλος a servant ὑπέρ above τόν the κύριον master αὐτοῦ. of him. ἀρκετόν [It is] sufficient τῷ for the μαθητῇ disciple ἵνα that γένηται he become ὡς as ὁ the διδάσκαλος teacher αὐτοῦ of him, καί and ὁ the δοῦλος servant ὡς as ὁ the κύριος master αὐτοῦ. of him. εἰ If τόν the οἰκοδεσπότην master of the house Βεελζεβούλ Beelzebul ἐπεκάλεσαν, they called, πόσῳ how much μᾶλλον more τούς those οἰκιακούς house members αὐτοῦ. of him!

Μή Not οὖν therefore φοβηθῆτε you should fear αὐτούς· them; οὐδέν nothing γάρ for ἐστίν is κεκαλυμμένον concealed ὅ which οὐ not ἀποκαλυφθήσεται will be revealed, καί or κρυπτόν hidden ὅ which οὐ not γνωσθήσεται. will be known. ὅ What λέγω I tell ὑμῖν you ἐν in τῇ the σκοτίᾳ darkness, εἴπατε speak ἐν in τῷ the φωτί, light; καί and ὅ what εἰς in τό the οὖς ear ἀκούετε you hear, κηρύξατε proclaim ἐπί upon τῶν the δωμάτων. housetops! Καί And μή not φοβεῖσθε you should be afraid ἀπό of τῶν those ἀποκτεννόντων killing τό the σῶμα, body, τήν the δέ however ψυχήν soul μή not δυναμένων being able ἀποκτεῖναι· to kill; φοβεῖσθε you should fear δέ however μᾶλλον rather τόν the [One] δυνάμενον being able καί both ψυχήν soul καί and σῶμα body ἀπολέσαι to destroy ἐν in γεέννῃ. hell. Οὐχί Not δύο two στρουθία sparrows ἀσσαρίου for an assarion πωλεῖται; are sold? καί And ἕν one ἐκ of αὐτῶν them οὐ not πεσεῖται will fall ἐπί to τήν the γῆν ground, ἄνευ apart from τοῦ the Πατρός Father ὑμῶν. of you? ὑμῶν Of you δέ now καί even αἱ the τρίχες hairs τῆς of the κεφαλῆς head πᾶσαι all ἠριθμημέναι numbered εἰσίν. are. μή Not οὖν therefore φοβεῖσθε· you should fear; πολλῶν than many στρουθίων sparrows διαφέρετε are worth more ὑμεῖς. you.

Πᾶς Everyone οὖν therefore ὅστις who ὁμολογήσει will confess ἐν in ἐμοί Me ἔμπροσθεν before τῶν - ἀνθρώπων, men, ὁμολογήσω will confess κἀγώ also I ἐν in αὐτῷ him ἔμπροσθεν before τοῦ the Πατρός Father μου of Me τοῦ who [is] ἐν in τοῖς the οὐρανοῖς· heavens. ὅστις Whoever δ ̓ now ἄν - ἀρνήσηται shall deny με Me ἔμπροσθεν before τῶν - ἀνθρώπων, men, ἀρνήσομαι will deny κἀγώ I also αὐτόν him ἔμπροσθεν before τοῦ the Πατρός Father μου of Me τοῦ who [is] ἐν in τοῖς the οὐρανοῖς. heavens.

Μή Not νομίσητε think ὅτι that ἦλθον I came βαλεῖν to bring εἰρήνην peace ἐπί to τήν the γῆν· earth; οὐ not ἦλθον I came βαλεῖν to bring εἰρήνην peace, ἀλλά but μάχαιραν. a sword. ἦλθον I came γάρ for διχάσαι to set at variance Ἄνθρωπον A man κατά against τοῦ the πατρός father αὐτοῦ of him, Καί and θυγατέρα a daughter κατά against τῆς the μητρός mother αὐτῆς of her, Καί and νύμφην a daughter-in-law κατά against τῆς the πενθερᾶς mother-in-law αὐτῆς, of her, Καί And ἐχθροί enemies τοῦ of the ἀνθρώπου man οἱ the οἰκιακοί household αὐτοῦ. of him.’

ὁ The [one] φιλῶν loving πατέρα father ἤ or μητέρα mother ὑπέρ above ἐμέ Me, οὐ not ἔστιν is μου of Me ἄξιος, worthy; καί and ὁ the [one] φιλῶν loving υἱόν son ἤ or θυγατέρα daughter ὑπέρ above ἐμέ Me, οὐ not ἔστιν is μου of Me ἄξιος· worthy. καί And ὅς he who οὐ not λαμβάνει takes τόν the σταυρόν cross αὐτοῦ of him καί and ἀκολουθεῖ follows ὀπίσω after μου, Me, οὐ not ἔστιν is μου of Me ἄξιος. worthy. ὁ The [one] εὑρών having found τήν the ψυχήν life αὐτοῦ of him ἀπολέσει will lose αὐτήν, it; καί and ὁ the [one] ἀπολέσας having lost τήν the ψυχήν life αὐτοῦ of him ἕνεκεν on account of ἐμοῦ Me εὑρήσει will find αὐτήν. it.

ὁ The [One] δεχόμενος receiving ὑμᾶς you, ἐμέ Me δέχεται, receives; καί and ὁ the [one] ἐμέ Me δεχόμενος receiving, δέχεται receives τόν the [One] ἀποστείλαντα having sent με. Me. ὁ The [one] δεχόμενος receiving προφήτην a prophet εἰς in [the] ὄνομα name προφήτου of a prophet, μισθόν [the] reward προφήτου of a prophet λήμψεται, will receive; καί and ὁ the [one] δεχόμενος receiving δίκαιον a righteous [man] εἰς in [the] ὄνομα name δικαίου of a righteous [man], μισθόν the reward δικαίου of a righteous [man] λήμψεται. will receive. καί And ὅς whoever ἄν - ποτίσῃ shall give to drink ἕνα one τῶν the μικρῶν little ones τούτων of these ποτήριον a cup ψυχροῦ of cold [water], μόνον only εἰς in [the] ὄνομα name μαθητοῦ, of a disciple, ἀμήν truly λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, οὐ no μή not ἀπολέσῃ shall he lose τόν the μισθόν reward αὐτοῦ. of him.

Καί And ἐγένετο it came to pass ὅτε when ἐτέλεσεν had finished ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus διατάσσων commanding τοῖς the δώδεκα twelve μαθηταῖς disciples αὐτοῦ, of Him, μετέβη He departed ἐκεῖθεν from there τοῦ - διδάσκειν to teach καί and κηρύσσειν to preach ἐν in ταῖς the πόλεσιν cities αὐτῶν. of them.

ὁ - δέ And Ἰωάννης John, ἀκούσας having heard ἐν in τῷ the δεσμωτηρίῳ prison τά the ἔργα works τοῦ of the Χριστοῦ Christ, πέμψας having sent διά two τῶν of the μαθητῶν disciples αὐτοῦ of him, εἶπεν said αὐτῷ· to Him, Σύ You εἶ are ὁ the ἐρχόμενος coming [One], ἤ or ἕτερον another προσδοκῶμεν; are we to look for? Καί And ἀποκριθείς answering, ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus εἶπεν said αὐτοῖς· to them, Πορευθέντες Having gone, ἀπαγγείλατε relate Ἰωάννῃ to John ἅ what ἀκούετε you hear καί and βλέπετε· see: τυφλοί Blind ἀναβλέπουσιν receive sight, καί and χωλοί lame περιπατοῦσιν, walk, λεπροί lepers καθαρίζονται are cleansed, καί and κωφοί deaf ἀκούουσιν, hear, καί and νεκροί dead ἐγείρονται are raised, καί and πτωχοί poor εὐαγγελίζονται· are gospelized. καί And μακάριος blessed ἐστίν is ὅς he who ἐάν if μή not σκανδαλισθῇ shall fall away ἐν in ἐμοί. Me.

Τούτων As these δέ now πορευομένων were going away, ἤρξατο began ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus λέγειν to speak τοῖς to the ὄχλοις crowds περί concerning Ἰωάννου· John: Τί What ἐξήλθατε went you out εἰς into τήν the ἔρημον wilderness θεάσασθαι; to see? κάλαμον A reed ὑπό by [the] ἀνέμου wind σαλευόμενον; shaken? ἀλλά But τί what ἐξήλθατε did you go out ἰδεῖν; to see? ἄνθρωπον A man ἐν in μαλακοῖς delicate [clothing] ἠμφιεσμένον; having been dressed? ἰδού Behold, οἱ those τά - μαλακά delicate [clothing] φοροῦντες wearing, ἐν in τοῖς the οἴκοις houses τῶν - βασιλέων of kings εἰσίν. are. ἀλλά But τί what ἐξήλθατε did you go out, ἰδεῖν; to see? προφήτην; a prophet ναί Yes, λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, καί and [one] περισσότερον more excellent προφήτου. than a prophet. οὗτος For this ἐστίν is [he] περί concerning οὗ whom γέγραπται· it has been written: Ἰδού Behold, ἐγώ I ἀποστέλλω send τόν the ἄγγελον messenger μου of Me πρό before προσώπου [the] face σου, of You, Ὅς who κατασκευάσει will prepare τήν the ὁδόν way σου of You ἔμπροσθεν before σου. You.’

Ἀμήν Truly λέγω I say ὑμῖν· to you, οὐ not ἐγήγερται there has risen ἐν among [those] γεννητοῖς born γυναικῶν of women μείζων one greater Ἰωάννου than John τοῦ the Βαπτιστοῦ· Baptist. ὁ - δέ Yet μικρότερος the least ἐν in τῇ the βασιλείᾳ kingdom τῶν of the οὐρανῶν heavens, μείζων greater αὐτοῦ than he ἐστίν. is. ἀπό From δέ then τῶν the ἡμερῶν days Ἰωάννου of John τοῦ the Βαπτιστοῦ Baptist ἕως until ἄρτι now, ἡ the βασιλεία kingdom τῶν of the οὐρανῶν heavens βιάζεται is taken by violence, καί and [the] βιασταί violent ἁρπάζουσιν claim αὐτήν. it. πάντες All γάρ for οἱ the προφῆται prophets καί and ὁ the νόμος law ἕως until Ἰωάννου John ἐπροφήτευσαν· prophesied. καί And εἰ if θέλετε you are willing δέξασθαι, to receive [it], αὐτός he ἐστίν is Ἠλίας Elijah, ὁ the one μέλλων being about ἔρχεσθαι. to come. ὁ The [one] ἔχων having ὦτα ears, ἀκουέτω. let him hear!

Τίνι To what δέ however ὁμοιώσω will I compare τήν the γενεάν generation ταύτην; this? ὁμοία Like ἐστίν it is παιδίοις little children καθημένοις sitting ἐν in ταῖς the ἀγοραῖς markets, ἅ and προσφωνοῦντα calling out τοῖς - ἑτέροις to others, λέγουσιν· saying: Ηὐλήσαμεν We piped ὑμῖν for you, Καί and οὐ not ὠρχήσασθε, you did dance; Ἐθρηνήσαμεν we sang a dirge Καί and οὐ not ἐκόψασθε. you did wail.

Ἦλθεν Came γάρ for Ἰωάννης John μήτε neither ἐσθίων eating μήτε nor πίνων, drinking, καί and λέγουσιν· they say, Δαιμόνιον A demon ἔχει. he has! ἦλθεν Came ὁ the Υἱός Son τοῦ - ἀνθρώπου of Man ἐσθίων eating καί and πίνων, drinking, καί and λέγουσιν· they say, Ἰδού Behold, ἄνθρωπος a man, φάγος a glutton καί and οἰνοπότης, a drunkard, τελωνῶν of tax collectors φίλος a friend καί and ἁμαρτωλῶν. of sinners! καί But ἐδικαιώθη is justified ἡ - σοφία wisdom ἀπό by τῶν the ἔργων deeds αὐτῆς. of her.

Τότε Then ἤρξατο He began ὀνειδίζειν to denounce τάς the πόλεις cities ἐν in αἷς which ἐγένοντο had taken place αἱ the πλεῖσται most δυνάμεις miracles αὐτοῦ, of Him, ὅτι because οὐ not μετενόησαν· they repented. Οὐαί Woe σοι, to you, Χοραζίν, Chorazin! οὐαί Woe σοι, to you, Βηθσαϊδά· Bethsaida! ὅτι For εἰ if ἐν in Τύρῳ Tyre καί and Σιδῶνι Sidon ἐγένοντο had taken place αἱ the δυνάμεις miracles αἱ - γενόμεναι having come to pass ἐν in ὑμῖν, you, πάλαι long ago ἄν then ἐν in σάκκῳ sackcloth καί and σποδῷ ashes μετενόησαν. they would have repented.
