WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Se reunieron con Jesús los fariseos y algunos escribas que habían venido de Jerusalén.

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

2 Ellos vieron que algunos de sus discípulos comían pan con manos impuras, es decir, sin lavarse.

2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.

3 Porque los fariseos y todos los judíos no comen sin lavarse bien las manos, siguiendo la tradición de los ancianos.

3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

4 Cuando vuelven del mercado, no comen sin lavarse. También guardan muchas otras tradiciones, como lavar copas, jarros, utensilios de bronce y camas.

4 They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

5 Entonces los fariseos y los escribas le preguntaron: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no siguen la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos impuras?

5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

6 Jesús les respondió: Bien profetizó Isaías acerca de ustedes, hipócritas, como está escrito: Este pueblo me honra con los labios, pero su corazón está lejos de mí.

6 He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 En vano me adoran, enseñando como doctrinas mandamientos de hombres.

7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 Porque ustedes dejan el mandamiento de Dios y se aferran a la tradición de los hombres.

8 “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”

9 También les dijo: Ustedes rechazan muy bien el mandamiento de Dios, para guardar su propia tradición.

9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

10 Porque Moisés dijo: Honra a tu padre y a tu madre; y también: El que maldiga a su padre o a su madre, muera sin falta.

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’

11 Pero ustedes dicen: Si alguien dice a su padre o a su madre: Aquello con lo que yo podía ayudarte es Corbán, es decir, ofrenda dedicada a Dios,

11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,

12 entonces ya no le permiten hacer nada por su padre o por su madre.

12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

13 Así invalidan la palabra de Dios por la tradición que ustedes han transmitido. Y hacen muchas cosas semejantes.

13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”

14 Llamando otra vez a la gente, les dijo: Escúchenme todos y entiendan.

14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.

15 Nada de lo que entra de fuera en la persona puede contaminarla; más bien, lo que sale de la persona es lo que la contamina.

15 There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

16 Si alguno tiene oídos para oír, que oiga.

16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

17 Cuando Jesús dejó a la gente y entró en una casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron acerca de esta parábola.

17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

18 Él les dijo: ¿También ustedes siguen sin entender? ¿No comprenden que nada de lo que entra de fuera en la persona puede contaminarla?

18 He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

19 Porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el estómago, y luego sale del cuerpo. Con esto Jesús declaró limpios todos los alimentos.

19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”

20 Y dijo: Lo que sale de la persona, eso es lo que la contamina.

20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

21 Porque de adentro, del corazón de las personas, salen los malos pensamientos, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los homicidios,

21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

22 los adulterios, la codicia, la maldad, el engaño, el libertinaje, la envidia, la blasfemia, el orgullo y la necedad.

22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

23 Todas estas maldades salen de adentro y contaminan a la persona.

23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”

24 Jesús se levantó y se fue de allí a la región de Tiro y Sidón. Entró en una casa, y no quería que nadie lo supiera; pero no pudo mantenerse en secreto.

24 From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

25 Enseguida una mujer, cuya hija tenía un espíritu inmundo, oyó hablar de él. Vino y se postró a sus pies.

25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

26 La mujer era griega, sirofenicia de nacimiento. Le rogaba que echara fuera de su hija al demonio.

26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 Jesús le dijo: Deja que primero se sacien los hijos, porque no está bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo a los perritos.

27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

28 Ella le respondió: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perritos, debajo de la mesa, comen las migajas de los hijos.

28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Entonces él le dijo: Por esta palabra, vete; el demonio ha salido de tu hija.

29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

30 Cuando ella volvió a su casa, encontró a la niña acostada en la cama, y el demonio ya había salido.

30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

31 Jesús salió otra vez de la región de Tiro, pasó por Sidón y fue hacia el mar de Galilea, por la región de Decápolis.

31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.

32 Le trajeron a un hombre sordo que hablaba con dificultad, y le rogaron que pusiera la mano sobre él.

32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

33 Jesús lo apartó de la gente, a solas. Luego metió sus dedos en los oídos del hombre, escupió y tocó su lengua.

33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.

34 Después, mirando al cielo, suspiró y le dijo: Efata, que significa: Ábrete.

34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

35 Al instante se le abrieron los oídos, se le soltó la lengua, y comenzó a hablar claramente.

35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

36 Jesús les mandó que no se lo dijeran a nadie; pero cuanto más se lo mandaba, más lo anunciaban.

36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

37 La gente estaba muy asombrada y decía: Todo lo ha hecho bien. Hace oír a los sordos y hablar a los mudos.

37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

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).
