ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οἱ ἀκολουθήσαντές μοι ἐν τῇ παλιγγενεσίᾳ ὅταν καθίσῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ καθίσεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους κρίνοντες τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τί θέλετε ποιήσαι με ὑμῖν
And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה-לָּךְ אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה וּמַה-בַּקָּֽשָׁתֵךְ עַד-חֲצִי הַמַּלְכוּת וְיִנָּתֵֽן לָֽךְ׃
Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
נְאֻם יְהוָה׀ לַֽאדֹנִי שֵׁב לִֽימִינִי עַד-אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶֽיךָ׃
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες Τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν;
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
בְּגִבְעוֹן נִרְאָה יְהוָֹה אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה בַּֽחֲלוֹם הַלָּיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים שְׁאַל מָה אֶתֶּן-לָֽךְ׃
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐφώνησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης καὶ ἄρεσασης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κορασίῳ Αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς καὶ δώσω σοι·
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Οἱ μὲν οὖν συνελθόντες ἐπἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες Κύριε εἰ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τούτῳ ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ
When they were come therefore together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at restore this time again the kingdom to Israel?
ἐὰν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ ὃ ἐὰν θέλητε αἰτήσεσθε καὶ γενήσεται ὑμῖν
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Ἐγένετο δὲ καὶ φιλονεικία ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸ τίς αὐτῶν δοκεῖ εἶναι μείζων
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ εἰς ἀλλήλους φιλόστοργοι τῇ τιμῇ ἀλλήλους προηγούμενοι
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ Χριστῷ τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε οὗ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ καθήμενος·
If ye then be with risen Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀγαπητῇ καὶ Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ' οἶκόν σου ἐκκλησίᾳ
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς εἶπεν παραβολὴν διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς αὐτὸν εἶναι Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
λέγων Τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Κύριε ἵνα ἀναβλέψω
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς λὲγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Τί θέλεις ποιήσω σοι ὁ δὲ τυφλὸς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ῥαββονί ἵνα ἀναβλέψω
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What that wilt thou I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
וְאַתָּה תְּבַקֶּשׁ-לְךָ גְדֹלוֹת אַל-תְּבַקֵּשׁ כִּי הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה עַל-כָּל-בָּשָׂר נְאֻם-יְהוָה וְנָתַתִּי לְךָ אֶֽת-נַפְשְׁךָ לְשָׁלָל עַל כָּל-הַמְּקֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר תֵּֽלֶךְ-שָֽׁם׃
And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִֽימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִֽיר׃
Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
