And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
καὶ προσελθὼν αὐτῷ ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Λύσατε τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερῶ αὐτόν
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise up. it
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ βάλε σεαυτὸν κάτω· γέγραπται γὰρ Ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear up, thee lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς χάρουσιν ἐπ' αὐτοῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται καὶ δῶρα πέμψουσιν ἀλλήλοις ὅτι οὗτοι οἱ δύο προφῆται ἐβασάνισαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Εἰ Μωσέως καὶ τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἀκούουσιν οὐδὲ ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ πεισθήσονται
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל-אָחִיו הִנֵּה בַּעַל הַֽחֲלֹמוֹת הַלָּזֶה בָּֽא׃
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
Ὁ δὲ ἑκατόνταρχος καὶ οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ τηροῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἰδόντες τὸν σεισμὸν καὶ τὰ γενόμενα ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα λέγοντες Ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς ἦν οὗτος
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
ἵνα μήποτε θέντος αὐτοῦ θεμέλιον καὶ μὴ ἰσχύοντος ἐκτελέσαι πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες ἄρξωνται ἐμπαίζειν αὐτῷ
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Γενεὰ πονηρὰ καὶ μοιχαλὶς σημεῖον ἐπιζητεῖ καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτοὺς ἀπῆλθεν
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no be sign given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
