1 And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
1 Y EN este mismo tiempo estaban allí unos que le contaban acerca de los Galileos, cuya sangre Pilato había mezclado con sus sacrificios.
2 And responding, he said to them: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
2 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Pensáis que estos Galileos, porque han padecido tales cosas, hayan sido más pecadores que todos los Galileos?
3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
3 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis igualmente.
4 And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
4 O aquellos dieciocho, sobre los cuales cayó la torre en Siloé, y los mató, ¿pensáis que ellos fueron más deudores que todos los hombres que habitan en Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
5 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis asimismo.
6 And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
6 Y dijo esta parábola: Tenía uno una higuera plantada en su viña, y vino á buscar fruto en ella, y no lo halló.
7 Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’
7 Y dijo al viñero: He aquí tres años ha que vengo á buscar fruto en esta higuera, y no lo hallo; córtala, ¿por qué ocupará aún la tierra?
8 But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
8 El entonces respondiendo, le dijo: Señor, déjala aún este año, hasta que la excave, y estercole.
9 And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’ ”
9 Y si hiciere fruto, [bien]; y si no, la cortarás después.
10 Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths.
10 Y enseñaba en una sinagoga en sábado.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all.
11 Y he aquí una mujer que tenía espíritu de enfermedad dieciocho años, y andaba agobiada, que en ninguna manera se podía enhestar.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.”
12 Y como Jesús la vió, llamóla, y díjole: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad.
13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God.
13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba á Dios.
14 Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiese curado en sábado, dijo á la compañía: Seis días hay en que es necesario obrar: en estos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en día de sábado.
15 Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
15 Entonces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, cada uno de vosotros ¿no desata en sábado su buey ó su asno del pesebre, y lo lleva á beber?
16 So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?”
16 Y á esta hija de Abraham, que he aquí Satanás la había ligado dieciocho años, ¿no convino desatar[la] de esta ligadura en día de sábado?
17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
17 Y diciendo estas cosas, se avergonzaban todos sus adversarios: mas todo el pueblo se gozaba de todas las cosas gloriosas que eran por él hechas.
18 And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
18 Y dijo: ¿A qué es semejante el reino de Dios, y á qué le compararé?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”
19 Semejante es al grano de la mostaza, que tomándo[lo] un hombre lo metió en su huerto; y creció, y fué hecho árbol grande, y las aves del cielo hicieron nidos en sus ramas.
20 And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
20 Y otra vez dijo: ¿A qué compararé el reino de Dios?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
21 Semejante es á la levadura, que tomó una mujer, y [la] escondió en tres medidas de harina, hasta que todo hubo fermentado.
22 And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
22 Y pasaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando, y caminando á Jerusalem.
23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them:
23 Y díjole uno: Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan? Y él les dijo:
24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.
24 Porfiad á entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán.
25 Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
25 Después que el padre de familia se levantare, y cerrare la puerta, y comenzareis á estar fuera, y llamar á la puerta, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos; y respondiendo os dirá: No os conozco de dónde seáis.
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
26 Entonces comenzaréis á decir: Delante de ti hemos comido y bebido, y en nuestras plazas enseñaste;
27 And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
27 Y [os] dirá: Dígoos que no os conozco de dónde seáis; apartaos de mí todos los obreros de iniquidad.
28 In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside.
28 Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes, cuando viereis á Abraham, y á Isaac, y á Jacob, y á todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, y vosotros excluídos.
29 And they will arrive from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South; and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
29 Y vendrán del Oriente y del Occidente, del Norte y del Mediodía, y se sentarán á la mesa en el reino de Dios.
30 And behold, those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.”
30 Y he aquí, son postreros los que eran los primeros; y son primeros los que eran los postreros.
31 On the same day, some of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: “Depart, and go away from here. For Herod wishes to kill you.”
31 Aquel mismo día llegaron unos de los Fariseos, diciéndole: Sal, y vete de aquí, porque Herodes te quiere matar.
32 And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish healings, today and tomorrow. And on the third day I reach the end.’
32 Y les dijo: Id, y decid á aquella zorra: He aquí, echo fuera demonios y acabo sanidades hoy y mañana, y al tercer día soy consumado.
33 Yet truly, it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day. For it does not fall to a prophet to perish beyond Jerusalem.
33 Empero es menester que hoy, y mañana, y pasado mañana camine; porque no es posible que profeta muera fuera de Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, and you stone those who are sent to you. Daily, I wanted to gather together your children, in the manner of a bird with her nest under her wings, but you were not willing!
34 ¡Jerusalem, Jerusalem! que matas á los profetas, y apedreas á los que son enviados á ti: ¡cuántas veces quise juntar tus hijos, como la gallina sus pollos debajo de sus alas, y no quisiste!
35 Behold, your house will be left desolate for you. But I say to you, that you shall not see me, until it happens that you say: ‘Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.’ ”
35 He aquí, os es dejada vuestra casa desierta: y os digo que no me veréis, hasta que venga [tiempo] cuando digáis: Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor.

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).
Touching "the fig-tree" which had its three years' trial, and bare no fruit, and "the woman which was in an infirmity eighteen years," hearken to what the Lord may grant me to say. The fig-tree is the human race. And the three years are the three times; one before the Law, the second under the Law, the third under grace.

another woman was also healed, after suffering in like manner for eighteen years; concerning whom the Lord said, "And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound during eighteen years, to be set free on the Sabbath-day?" If, then, the former was a type of the twelfth Æon that suffered, the latter should also be a type of …
… sense, as when He said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees," and in a good sense, as when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened." For as this converts the large quantity of meal into its own quality, even so shall ye convert the whole world.

This, then, is a clear point, that those who disallow his salvation, and frame the …
