The gospel according to Luke

Chapter 12

---

1. εν οις επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ωστε καταπατειν αλληλους ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους μαθητας αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοις απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων ητις εστιν υποκρισις Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2. ουδεν δε συγκεκαλυμμενον εστιν ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.

3. ανθ ων οσα εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι ακουσθησεται και ο προς το ους ελαλησατε εν τοις ταμειοις κηρυχθησεται επι των δωματων Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4. λεγω δε υμιν τοις φιλοις μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεινοντων[1] το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι “And I say you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5. υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εξουσιαν εχοντα εμβαλειν εις την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε But I will show you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell[2]. Yes, I say to you, fear him!

6. ουχι πεντε στρουθια πωλειται[3] ασσαριων δυο και εν εξ αυτων ουκ εστιν επιλελησμενον ενωπιον του θεου Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria[4]? And not one of them is forgotten by God.

7. αλλα και αι τριχες της κεφαλης υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore[5] do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows.

8. λεγω δε υμιν πας ος αν ομολογηση εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων και ο υιος του ανθρωπου ομολογησει εν αυτω εμπροσθεν των αγγελων του θεου “And I say to you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God,

9. ο δε αρνησαμενος με ενωπιον των ανθρωπων απαρνηθησεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10. και πας ος ερει λογον εις τον υιον του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω τω δε εις το αγιον πνευμα βλασφημησαντι ουκ αφεθησεται And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11. οταν δε προσφερωσιν[6] υμας επι τας συναγωγας και τας αρχας και τας εξουσιας μη μεριμνατε[7] πως η τι απολογησησθε η τι ειπητε And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer or what you should say,

12. το γαρ αγιον πνευμα διδαξει υμας εν αυτη τη ωρα α δει ειπειν for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you should say.”

[1] M-Text and WPF³⁵ read “αποκτενοντων”, which is supported by codex Θ and the Byzantine manuscripts. P-Text reads “αποκτεννοντων”, which is supported by codices א and A. The TR is supported by papyri 45 and 75, codex B and Theophylact. Codex D reads “αποκτειναι”. The TR is well supported. No need of adjustment.

[2] Greek: Gehenna.

[3] NA-Text reads “πωλουνται”. Same verbal tense, different spelling.

[4] Assarium or assarius: a Roman coin worth the tenth of a drachma, perhaps equivalent to a penny.

[5] NA-Text omits “Therefore”.

[6] NA-Text reads “εισφερωσιν”. Those verbs are interchangeable.

[7] NA-Text reads “μεριμνησητε” (aorist subjunctive instead of present imperative).
