PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jesús entró en Jericó y pasaba por la ciudad.
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
1 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν διήρχετο τὴν Ἱεριχώ·
2 Había allí un hombre llamado Zaqueo, jefe de los cobradores de impuestos, y era rico.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι καλούμενος Ζακχαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἀρχιτελώνης, καὶ οὗτος ἦν πλούσιος,
3 Él procuraba ver quién era Jesús, pero no podía por causa de la multitud, porque era de baja estatura.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
3 καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν τίς ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν.
4 Entonces corrió adelante y se subió a un sicómoro para verlo, porque Jesús iba a pasar por allí.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
4 καὶ προδραμὼν ἔμπροσθεν ἀνέβη ἐπὶ συκομορέαν, ἵνα ἴδῃ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐκείνης ἤμελλε διέρχεσθαι.
5 Cuando Jesús llegó a aquel lugar, miró hacia arriba, lo vio y le dijo: Zaqueo, baja pronto, porque hoy debo quedarme en tu casa.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
5 καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ἀναβλέψας ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶδεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· Ζακχαῖε, σπεύσας κατάβηθι· σήμερον γὰρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου δεῖ με μεῖναι.
6 Entonces Zaqueo bajó de prisa y lo recibió con alegría.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
6 καὶ σπεύσας κατέβη, καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν χαίρων.
7 Al ver esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo: Ha entrado a hospedarse con un hombre pecador.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
7 καὶ ἰδόντες πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθε καταλῦσαι.
8 Pero Zaqueo se puso de pie y dijo al Señor: Mira, Señor, doy la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres; y si he defraudado a alguien, le devuelvo cuatro veces más.
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
8 σταθεὶς δὲ Ζακχαῖος εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Κύριον· ἰδοὺ τὰ ἡμίση τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδωμι τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν.
9 Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación a esta casa, porque él también es hijo de Abraham.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι σήμερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν.
10 Porque el Hijo del Hombre vino a buscar y a salvar lo que se había perdido.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
10 ἦλθε γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.
11 Mientras ellos oían estas cosas, Jesús añadió una parábola, porque estaba cerca de Jerusalén, y ellos pensaban que el reino de Dios se manifestaría enseguida.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
11 Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς εἶπε παραβολήν, διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς αὐτὸν εἶναι Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι·
12 Dijo, pues: Un hombre noble se fue a un país lejano para recibir un reino y volver.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
12 εἶπεν οὖν· ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
13 Llamó a diez de sus siervos, les dio diez minas y les dijo: Negocien con esto hasta que yo vuelva.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
13 καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πραγματεύσασθε ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι.
14 Pero sus ciudadanos lo odiaban, y enviaron una delegación tras él, diciendo: No queremos que este reine sobre nosotros.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
14 οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς.
15 Cuando él volvió, después de recibir el reino, mandó llamar a los siervos a quienes había dado el dinero, para saber cuánto había ganado cada uno.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ εἶπε φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς ἔδωκε τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ τίς τί διεπραγματεύσατο.
16 Vino el primero y dijo: Señor, tu mina ha ganado diez minas.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
16 παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου προσειργάσατο δέκα μνᾶς.
17 Él le dijo: Bien hecho, buen siervo. Como fuiste fiel en lo poco, tendrás autoridad sobre diez ciudades.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εὖ, ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε! ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.
18 Vino el segundo y dijo: Señor, tu mina ha producido cinco minas.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
18 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου ἐποίησε πέντε μνᾶς.
19 También a este le dijo: Tú estarás sobre cinco ciudades.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
19 εἶπε δὲ καὶ τούτῳ· καὶ σὺ γίνου ἐπάνω πέντε πόλεων.
20 Vino otro y dijo: Señor, aquí está tu mina, que guardé envuelta en un pañuelo.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
20 καὶ ἕτερος ἦλθε λέγων· κύριε, ἰδοὺ ἡ μνᾶ σου, ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ.
21 Porque tuve miedo de ti, pues eres un hombre duro. Tomas lo que no pusiste y cosechas lo que no sembraste.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
21 ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ· αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας, καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρας, καὶ συνάγεις ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας.
22 Entonces él le dijo: Por tus propias palabras te juzgo, siervo malo. Sabías que soy un hombre duro, que tomo lo que no puse y cosecho lo que no sembré.
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
22 λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρινῶ σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ᾔδεις ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι ἐγώ, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα·
23 ¿Por qué, entonces, no pusiste mi dinero en el banco, para que al volver yo lo recibiera con intereses?
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
23 καὶ διατί οὐκ ἔδωκας τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν σὺν τόκῳ ἂν ἔπραξα αὐτό;
24 Luego dijo a los que estaban presentes: Quítenle la mina y dénsela al que tiene diez minas.
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
24 καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν· ἄρατε ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν καὶ δότε τῷ τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἔχοντι.
25 Ellos le dijeron: Señor, él ya tiene diez minas.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
25 [καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· κύριε, ἔχει δέκα μνᾶς.]
26 Pues yo les digo que a todo el que tiene, se le dará más; pero al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
26 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἔχοντι δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
27 Y a aquellos enemigos míos que no quisieron que yo reinara sobre ellos, tráiganlos acá y mátenlos delante de mí.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
27 πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐκείνους, τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἔμπροσθέν μου.
28 Después de decir esto, Jesús siguió adelante, subiendo a Jerusalén.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
28 Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
29 Cuando se acercó a Betfagé y Betania, junto al monte llamado de los Olivos, envió a dos de sus discípulos,
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤγγισεν εἰς Βηθσφαγῆ καὶ Βηθανίαν πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον ἐλαιῶν, ἀπέστειλε δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ
30 diciendo: Vayan a la aldea que está delante de ustedes. Al entrar en ella, encontrarán un burrito atado, en el que nadie se ha sentado todavía. Desátenlo y tráiganlo.
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
30 εἰπών· ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κατέναντι κώμην, ἐν ᾗ εἰσπορευόμενοι εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον, ἐφ᾽ ὃν οὐδεὶς πώποτε ἀνθρώπων ἐκάθισε· λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε.
31 Si alguien les pregunta: ¿Por qué lo desatan?, díganle: El Señor lo necesita.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
31 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, διατί λύετε; οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
32 Los que fueron enviados fueron y encontraron todo como Jesús les había dicho.
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
32 ἀπελθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι εὗρον καθὼς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἑστῶτα τὸν πῶλον·
33 Mientras desataban el burrito, sus dueños les dijeron: ¿Por qué desatan el burrito?
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
33 λυόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον εἶπον οἱ κύριοι αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτούς· τί λύετε τὸν πῶλον;
34 Ellos respondieron: El Señor lo necesita.
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
34 οἱ δὲ εἶπον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
35 Entonces lo trajeron a Jesús. Pusieron sus mantos sobre el burrito, y sentaron a Jesús encima.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
35 καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιρρίψαντες ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
36 Mientras él avanzaba, la gente tendía sus mantos en el camino.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
36 πορευομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ὑπεστρώννυον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
37 Cuando ya se acercaba a la bajada del monte de los Olivos, toda la multitud de los discípulos comenzó a alabar a Dios con alegría y a gran voz por todas las maravillas que habían visto.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
37 ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤδη πρὸς τῇ καταβάσει τοῦ ὄρους τῶν ἐλαιῶν ἤρξατο ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν χαίροντες αἰνεῖν τὸν Θεὸν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ περὶ πασῶν ὧν εἶδον δυνάμεων
38 Decían: ¡Bendito el Rey que viene en el nombre del Señor! ¡Paz en el cielo y gloria en las alturas!
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
38 λέγοντες· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος βασιλεὺς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· εἰρήνη ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις.
39 Entonces algunos de los fariseos de entre la multitud le dijeron: Maestro, reprende a tus discípulos.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
39 καί τινες τῶν Φαρισαίων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· διδάσκαλε, ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου.
40 Jesús les respondió: Les digo que, si ellos callan, las piedras clamarán.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσωσιν, οἱ λίθοι κεκράξονται.
41 Cuando Jesús se acercó y vio la ciudad, lloró por ella,
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
41 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν, ἰδὼν τὴν πόλιν ἔκλαυσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ,
42 diciendo: ¡Si también tú hubieras conocido, al menos en este día, lo que trae paz! Pero ahora está escondido de tus ojos.
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
42 λέγων ὅτι εἰ ἔγνως καὶ σύ, καί γε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ σου ταύτῃ, τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην σου! νῦν δὲ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου·
43 Porque vendrán días sobre ti cuando tus enemigos levantarán una muralla contra ti, te rodearán y te apretarán por todos lados.
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
43 ὅτι ἥξουσιν ἡμέραι ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ περιβαλοῦσιν οἱ ἐχθροί σου χάρακά σοι καὶ περικυκλώσουσί σε καὶ συνέξουσί σε πάντοθεν,
44 Te derribarán a tierra, a ti y a tus hijos dentro de ti. No dejarán en ti piedra sobre piedra, porque no reconociste el tiempo en que Dios te visitó.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
44 καὶ ἐδαφιοῦσί σε καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐν σοί, καὶ οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ λίθον ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἔγνως τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς σου.
45 Jesús entró en el templo y comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y compraban allí.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγοράζοντας
46 Les dijo: Está escrito: Mi casa es casa de oración, pero ustedes la han convertido en cueva de ladrones.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
46 λέγων αὐτοῖς· γέγραπται ὅτι ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς ἐστιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
47 Jesús enseñaba cada día en el templo. Pero los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los líderes del pueblo buscaban matarlo.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
47 Καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
48 Sin embargo, no encontraban qué hacer, porque todo el pueblo estaba muy atento escuchándolo.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
48 καὶ οὐχ εὕρισκον τὸ τί ποιήσουσιν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἅπας ἐξεκρέματο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων.

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.
