12   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
απο δε των ημερων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως αρτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται και βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην

13   For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
παντες γαρ οι προφηται και ο νομος εως ιωαννου προεφητευσαν

14   And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
και ει θελετε δεξασθαι αυτος εστιν ηλιας ο μελλων ερχεσθαι

15   He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

16   But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
τινι δε ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην ομοια εστιν παιδαριοις εν αγοραις καθημενοις και προσφωνουσιν τοις εταιροις αυτων

17   And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
και λεγουσιν ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν υμιν και ουκ εκοψασθε

18   For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
ηλθεν γαρ ιωαννης μητε εσθιων μητε πινων και λεγουσιν δαιμονιον εχει

19   The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
ηλθεν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγουσιν ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης τελωνων φιλος και αμαρτωλων και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτης

20   Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
τοτε ηρξατο ονειδιζειν τας πολεις εν αις εγενοντο αι πλεισται δυναμεις αυτου οτι ου μετενοησαν
