Friday of the 23rd week after Pentecost

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὰς παραβολὰς ἔλεγε.

[Заⷱ҇ 101] И҆ взыска́ша а҆рхїере́є и҆ кни́жницы возложи́ти на́нь рꙋ́цѣ въ то́й ча́съ и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ наро́да: разꙋмѣ́ша бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ къ ни̑мъ при́тчꙋ сїю̀ речѐ.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους, ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου εἰς τὸ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.

И҆ наблю́дше посла́ша ла́ѧтєли {навѣ́тникѡвъ}, притворѧ́ющихъ себѐ пра́ведники бы́ти: да и҆́мꙋтъ є҆го̀ въ словесѝ, во є҆́же преда́ти є҆го̀ нача́льствꙋ и҆ ѡ҆́бласти и҆ге́мѡновѣ.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις·

И҆ вопроси́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́вѡ гл҃еши и҆ ᲂу҆чи́ши, и҆ не на лица̑ зри́ши, но вои́стиннꙋ пꙋтѝ бж҃їю ᲂу҆чи́ши:

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;

досто́итъ ли на́мъ ке́сареви да́нь даѧ́ти, и҆лѝ нѝ;

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι αὐτοῦ ρήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.

И҆ не мого́ша зазрѣ́ти гл҃го́ла є҆гѡ̀ пред̾ людьмѝ: и҆ диви́шасѧ ѡ҆ ѿвѣ́тѣ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆молча́ша.
