11 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

2Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciplesThe Messengers from John the Baptist Mt.11.2-19 (Capernaum) | Lk.7.18-35Ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης ἀκούσας ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ τὰ ἐργα τοῦ Χριστοῦ πέμψας διὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ
3and said to him, "Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?"  εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἑτερον προσδοκῶμεν;
4And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:  καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε Ἰωάννῃ ἂ ἀκούετε καὶ βλέπετε·
5the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. - the blind receive their sight Mt.11.5 | Is.35.5-6 | Is.42.18 | Is.61.1τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσιν καὶ χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσιν, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται καὶ κωφοὶ ἀκούουσιν, καὶ νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται καὶ πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται·
6And blessed is he who takes no offence at me." καὶ μακάριός ἐστιν ὃς ἐὰν μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί.
7As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?  Τούτων δὲ πορευομένων ἠρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγειν τοῖς ὀχλοις περὶ Ἰωάννου, Τί ἐξήλθατε εἰς τὴν ἐρημον θεάσασθαὶ κάλαμον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου σαλευόμενον;
8Why then did you go out? To see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment are in kings' houses.  ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἠμφιεσμένον; ἰδοὺ οἱ τὰ μαλακὰ φοροῦντες ἐν τοῖς οἰκοις τῶν βασιλέων εἰσίν.
9Why then did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.  ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; προφήτην; ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, καὶ περισσότερον προφήτου.
10This is he of whom it is written,

'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.'

- I send my messenger before thy face Mt.11.10 | Mal.3.1οὗτός ἐστιν περὶ οὗ γέγραπται,

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου,
ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν
σου ἔμπροσθέν σου.

11Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.  ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ἐγήγερται ἐν γεννητοῖς γυναικῶν μείζων Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ· ὁ δὲ μικρότερος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν μείζων αὐτοῦ ἐστιν.
12From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.  ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν ἡμερῶν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ ἑως ἀρτι ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν βιάζεται, καὶ βιασταὶ ἀρπάζουσιν αὐτήν.
13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John; πάντες γὰρ οἱ προφῆται καὶ ὁ νόμος ἑως Ἰωάννου ἐπροφήτευσαν·
14and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.  καὶ εἰ θέλετε δέξασθαι, αὐτός ἐστιν Ἠλίας ὁ μέλλων ἐρχεσθαι.
15He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ὁ ἐχων ὦτα ἀκουέτω.
16"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates, Τίνι δὲ ὁμοιώσω τὴν γενεὰν ταύτην; ὁμοία ἐστὶν παιδίοις καθημένοις ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς ἂ προσφωνοῦντα τοῖς ἑτέροις
17'We piped to you, and you did not dance;
we wailed, and you did not mourn.'
 λέγουσιν,

Ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε·
ἐθρηνήσαμεν καὶ οὐκ ἐκόψασθε.

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon'; ἦλθεν γὰρ Ἰωάννης μήτε ἐσθίων μήτε πίνων, καὶ λέγουσιν, Δαιμόνιον ἐχει·
19the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."  ἦλθεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγουσιν, Ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, τελωνῶν φίλος καὶ ἀμαρτωλῶν. καὶ ἐδικαιώθη ἡ σοφία ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργων αὐτῆς.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
