PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Es imposible que no vengan tropiezos; pero ¡ay de aquel por medio de quien vienen!
1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
1 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· ἀνένδεκτόν ἐστι τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· οὐαὶ δὲ δι᾽ οὗ ἔρχεται.
2 Mejor le sería que le colgaran al cuello una gran piedra de molino y lo echaran al mar, antes que hacer tropezar a uno de estos pequeños.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 λυσιτελεῖ αὐτῷ εἰ λίθος μυλικὸς περίκειται περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρριπται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἢ ἵνα σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.
3 Tengan cuidado de ustedes mismos. Si tu hermano peca contra ti, repréndelo; y si se arrepiente, perdónalo.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
3 προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς. ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ἐπιτίμησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες αὐτῷ·
4 Y si peca contra ti siete veces en un día, y siete veces vuelve a ti diciendo: Me arrepiento, perdónalo.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
4 καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ καὶ ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπιστρέψῃ [πρός σε] λέγων, μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ.
5 Los apóstoles dijeron al Señor: Auméntanos la fe.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
5 Καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῷ Κυρίῳ· πρόσθες ἡμῖν πίστιν.
6 El Señor dijo: Si ustedes tuvieran fe como un grano de mostaza, podrían decir a este sicómoro: Desarráigate y plántate en el mar, y les obedecería.
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
6 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· εἰ ἔχετε πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως, ἐλέγετε ἂν τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ, ἐκριζώθητι καὶ φυτεύθητι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ὑπήκουσεν ἂν ὑμῖν.
7 ¿Quién de ustedes, si tiene un siervo que ara o cuida ovejas, le dirá cuando vuelve del campo: Ven enseguida y siéntate a la mesa?
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
7 Τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε,
8 ¿No le dirá más bien: Prepárame la cena, ponte el delantal y sírveme hasta que yo coma y beba; después comerás y beberás tú?
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
8 ἀλλ᾽ οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ;
9 ¿Acaso da gracias al siervo porque hizo lo que se le mandó?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
9 μὴ χάριν ἔχει τῷ δούλῳ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι ἐποίησε τὰ διαταχθέντα; οὐ δοκῶ.
10 Así también ustedes, cuando hayan hecho todo lo que se les mandó, digan: Somos siervos sin mérito; solo hemos hecho lo que debíamos hacer.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
10 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ποιήσητε πάντα τὰ διαταχθέντα ὑμῖν, λέγετε ὅτι δοῦλοι ἀχρεῖοί ἐσμεν, ὅτι ὃ ὠφείλομεν ποιῆσαι πεποιήκαμεν.
11 Sucedió que, mientras Jesús iba camino a Jerusalén, pasaba entre Samaria y Galilea.
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
11 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ αὐτὸς διήρχετο διὰ μέσου Σαμαρείας καὶ Γαλιλαίας.
12 Al entrar en una aldea, le salieron al encuentro diez hombres leprosos. Ellos se quedaron a cierta distancia
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
12 καὶ εἰσερχομένου αὐτοῦ εἴς τινα κώμην ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ δέκα λεπροὶ ἄνδρες, οἳ ἔστησαν πόρρωθεν,
13 y alzaron la voz, diciendo: ¡Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros!
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦραν φωνὴν λέγοντες· Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
14 Cuando Jesús los vio, les dijo: Vayan y muéstrense a los sacerdotes. Y mientras iban, quedaron limpios.
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
14 καὶ ἰδὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.
15 Uno de ellos, al ver que había sido sanado, volvió glorificando a Dios a gran voz.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
15 εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη, ὑπέστρεψε μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν,
16 Cayó rostro en tierra a los pies de Jesús y le dio gracias. Este hombre era samaritano.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
16 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν Σαμαρείτης.
17 Jesús respondió: ¿No fueron diez los que quedaron limpios? ¿Dónde están los otros nueve?
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
17 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν; οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ;
18 ¿No hubo quien volviera para dar gloria a Dios, sino este extranjero?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
18 οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ὑποστρέψαντες δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς οὗτος;
19 Entonces le dijo: Levántate y vete; tu fe te ha sanado.
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀναστὰς πορεύου· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
20 Cuando los fariseos le preguntaron cuándo vendría el reino de Dios, Jesús les respondió: El reino de Dios no viene con señales visibles.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
20 Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,
21 Ni dirán: Miren, está aquí, o: Miren, está allá. Porque el reino de Dios está en medio de ustedes.
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
21 οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
22 Luego dijo a sus discípulos: Vendrán días cuando desearán ver uno de los días del Hijo del Hombre, pero no lo verán.
22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
22 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.
23 Les dirán: Miren, está aquí, o: Miren, está allá. No vayan ni los sigan.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
23 καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.
24 Porque como el relámpago, al brillar, ilumina el cielo de un extremo al otro, así será el Hijo del Hombre en su día.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
24 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.
25 Pero primero es necesario que él sufra mucho y sea rechazado por esta generación.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
26 Como sucedió en los días de Noé, así también será en los días del Hijo del Hombre.
26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
26 καὶ καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
27 Comían, bebían, se casaban y se daban en casamiento, hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca. Entonces vino el diluvio y los destruyó a todos.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
27 ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἐγάμουν, ἐξεγαμίζοντο, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
28 De la misma manera sucedió en los días de Lot: comían, bebían, compraban, vendían, plantaban y construían.
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
28 ὁμοίως καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν·
29 Pero el día en que Lot salió de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y los destruyó a todos.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
29 ᾗ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξῆλθε Λὼτ ἀπὸ Σοδόμων, ἔβρεξε πῦρ καὶ θεῖον ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
30 Así será el día en que el Hijo del Hombre sea revelado.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
30 κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποκαλύπτεται.
31 En aquel día, el que esté en la azotea y tenga sus bienes dentro de la casa, no baje a tomarlos. De igual manera, el que esté en el campo no vuelva atrás.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
31 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
33 El que procure salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que la pierda, la conservará.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
33 ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ αὐτήν, ζωογονήσει αὐτήν.
34 Les digo que en aquella noche estarán dos en una cama; uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
34 λέγω ὑμῖν, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ δύο ἔσονται ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται·
35 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo juntas; una será tomada, y la otra será dejada.
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
35 δύο ἔσονται ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, μία παραληφθήσεται καὶ ἡ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται·
36 Dos estarán en el campo; uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
36 Not in this translation
36 δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται.
37 Entonces le preguntaron: ¿Dónde, Señor? Él les dijo: Donde esté el cuerpo, allí se juntarán los buitres.
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
37 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται [καὶ] οἱ ἀετοί.

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).
The Holy Gospel which we heard just now as it was being read, has admonished touching the remission of sins. And on this subject must ye be admonished now by my discourse.

… shall those things be which thou hast prepared?" and similar to this, that of the rich man, who was clothed in purple and who fared sumptuously, and the indigent Lazarus; also the answer which He gave to His disciples when they said, "Increase our faith;" also His conversation with Zaccheus the publican; also about the Pharisee and the publican, who …
In that day, he which shall be upon the house-top, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife." Is it when our Lord shall have been revealed that men are to give heed to these sayings, and …

For in the same way, we too, when we have servants, do then most approve them when, after having performed all their service with good will, they do not think they have done anything great.
