ASV American Standard Version (1901)

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;

1 Y ACONTECIÓ un día, que enseñando él al pueblo en el templo, y anunciando el evangelio, llegáronse los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas, con los ancianos;

2 and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

2 Y le hablaron, diciendo: Dinos: ¿con qué potestad haces estas cosas? ¿ó quién es el que te ha dado esta potestad?

3 And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:

3 Respondiendo entonces Jesús, les dijo: Os preguntaré yo también una palabra; respondedme:

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?

4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres?

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?

5 Mas ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?

6 But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

6 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, todo el pueblo nos apedreará: porque están ciertos que Juan era profeta.

7 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].

7 Y respondieron que no sabían de dónde.

8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

8 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Ni yo os digo con qué potestad hago estas cosas.

9 And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.

9 Y comenzó á decir al pueblo esta parábola: Un hombre plantó una viña, y arrendóla á labradores, y se ausentó por mucho tiempo.

10 And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

10 Y al tiempo, envió un siervo á los labradores, para que le diesen del fruto de la viña; mas los labradores le hirieron, y enviaron vacío.

11 And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

11 Y volvió á enviar otro siervo; mas ellos á éste también, herido y afrentado, le enviaron vacío.

12 And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.

12 Y volvió á enviar al tercer siervo; mas ellos también á éste echaron herido.

13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.

13 Entonces el señor de la viña dijo: ¿Qué haré? Enviaré mi hijo amado: quizás cuando á éste vieren, tendrán respeto.

14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

14 Mas los labradores, viéndole, pensaron entre sí, diciendo: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle para que la heredad sea nuestra.

15 And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

15 Y echáronle fuera de la viña, y le mataron. ¿Qué pues, les hará el señor de la viña?

16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

16 Vendrá, y destruirá á estos labradores, y dará su viña á otros. Y como ellos lo oyeron, dijeron: ¡Dios nos libre!

17 But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?

17 Mas él mirándolos, dice: ¿Qué pues es lo que está escrito: La piedra que condenaron los edificadores, ésta fué por cabeza de esquina?

18 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

18 Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; mas sobre el que la piedra cayere, le desmenuzará.

19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.

19 Y procuraban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas echarle mano en aquella hora, porque entendieron que contra ellos había dicho esta parábola: mas temieron al pueblo.

20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

20 Y acechándole enviaron espías que se simulasen justos, para sorprenderle en palabras, para que le entregasen al principado y á la potestad del presidente.

21 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:

21 Los cuales le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que dices y enseñas bien, y que no tienes respeto á persona; antes enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad.

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?

22 ¿Nos es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

23 Mas él, entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?

24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s.

24 Mostradme la moneda. ¿De quién tiene la imagen y la inscripción? Y respondiendo dijeron: De César.

25 And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.

25 Entonces les dijo: Pues dad á César lo que es de César; y lo que es de Dios, á Dios.

26 And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

26 Y no pudieron reprender sus palabras delante del pueblo: antes maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.

27 And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;

27 Y llegándose unos de los Saduceos, los cuales niegan haber resurrección, le preguntaron,

28 and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

28 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés nos escribió: Si el hermano de alguno muriere teniendo mujer, y muriere sin hijos, que su hermano tome la mujer, y levante simiente á su hermano.

29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

29 Fueron, pues, siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió sin hijos.

30 and the second:

30 Y la tomó el segundo, el cual también murió sin hijos.

31 and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

31 Y la tomó el tercero: asimismo también todos siete: y murieron sin dejar prole.

32 Afterward the woman also died.

32 Y á la postre de todos murió también la mujer.

33 In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.

33 En la resurrección, pues, ¿mujer de cuál de ellos será? porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.

34 And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

34 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Los hijos de este siglo se casan, y son dados en casamiento:

35 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

35 Mas los que fueren tenidos por dignos de aquel siglo y de la resurrección de los muertos, ni se casan, ni son dados en casamiento:

36 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

36 Porque no pueden ya más morir: porque son iguales á los ángeles, y son hijos de Dios, cuando son hijos de la resurrección.

37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

37 Y que los muertos hayan de resucitar, aun Moisés lo enseñó en el [pasaje de] la zarza, cuando llama al Señor: Dios de Abraham, y Dios de Isaac, y Dios de Jacob.

38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

38 Porque Dios no es [Dios] de muertos, mas de vivos: porque todos viven á él.

39 And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.

39 Y respondiéndole unos de los escribas, dijeron: Maestro, bien has dicho.

40 For they durst not any more ask him any question.

40 Y no osaron más preguntarle algo.

41 And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?

41 Y él les dijo: ¿Cómo dicen que el Cristo es hijo de David?

42 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

42 Y el mismo David dice en el libro de los Salmos: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra,

43 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

43 Entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.

44 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

44 Así que David le llama Señor: ¿cómo pues es su hijo?

45 And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

45 Y oyéndole todo el pueblo, dijo á sus discípulos:

46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;

46 Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas, y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;

47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

47 Que devoran las casas de las viudas, poniendo por pretexto la larga oración: éstos recibirán mayor condenación.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 20:34 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 20–22)
… complete this most blessed city would have been as great though no one had sinned, as it is now that the grace of God gathers its citizens out of the multitude of sinners, so long as the children of this world generate and are generated. And therefore that marriage, worthy of the happiness of Paradise, should have had desirable fruit …

Quotes verse 20:35 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 17–19)
But Enos means man in so restricted a sense, that Hebrew linguists tell us it cannot be applied to woman: it is the equivalent of the "child of the resurrection," when they neither marry nor are given in marriage. For there shall be no generation in that place to which regeneration shall have brought us.
