1 And it happened that, when Jesus entered the house of a certain leader of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were observing him.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que entrando en casa de un príncipe de los Fariseos un sábado á comer pan, ellos le acechaban.
2 And behold, a certain man before him was afflicted with edema.
2 Y he aquí un hombre hidrópico estaba delante de él.
3 And responding, Jesus spoke to the experts in the law and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?”
3 Y respondiendo Jesús, habló á los doctores de la ley y á los Fariseos, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?
4 But they kept silent. Yet truly, taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away.
4 Y ellos callaron. Entonces él tomándole, le sanó, y despidióle.
5 And responding to them, he said, “Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, and will not promptly pull him out, on the day of the Sabbath?”
5 Y respondiendo á ellos dijo: ¿El asno ó el buey de cuál de vosotros caerá en [algún] pozo, y no lo sacará luego en día de sábado?
6 And they were unable to respond to him about these things.
6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.
7 Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
7 Y observando cómo escogían los primeros asientos á la mesa, propuso una parábola á los convidados, diciéndoles:
8 “When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.
8 Cuando fueres convidado de alguno á bodas, no te sientes en el primer lugar, no sea que otro más honrado que tú esté por él convidado,
9 And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.
9 Y viniendo el que te llamó á ti y á él, te diga: Da lugar á éste: y entonces comiences con vergüenza á tener el lugar último.
10 But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.
10 Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan á la mesa.
11 For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
11 Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
12 Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.
12 Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida ó cena, no llames á tus amigos, ni á tus hermanos, ni á tus parientes, ni á vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan á convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.
13 But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.
13 Mas cuando haces banquete, llama á los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos;
14 And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”
14 Y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden retribuir; mas te será recompensado en la resurrección de los justos.
15 When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”
15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados á la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el reino de los cielos.
16 So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many.
16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una grande cena, y convidó á muchos.
17 And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready.
17 Y á la hora de la cena envió á su siervo á decir á los convidados: Venid, que ya está todo aparejado.
18 And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’
18 Y comenzaron todos á una á excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito salir y verla; te ruego que me des por excusado.
19 And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’
19 Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy á probarlos; ruégote que me des por excusado.
20 And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go.’
20 Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.
21 And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’
21 Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas á su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de la familia, dijo á su siervo: Ve presto por las plazas y por las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá los pobres, los mancos, y cojos, y ciegos.
22 And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’
22 Y dijo el siervo: Señor, hecho es como mandaste, y aun hay lugar.
23 And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled.
23 Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.
24 For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’ ”
24 Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron llamados, gustará mi cena.
25 Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:
25 Y muchas gentes iban con él; y volviéndose les dijo:
26 “If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.
26 Si alguno viene á mí, y no aborrece á su padre, y madre, y mujer, é hijos, y hermanos, y hermanas, y aun también su vida, no puede ser mi discípulo.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.
27 Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.
28 For who among you, wanting to build a tower, would not first sit down and determine the costs that are required, to see if he has the means to complete it?
28 Porque ¿cuál de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no cuenta primero sentado los gastos, si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla?
29 Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,
29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,
30 saying: ‘This man began to build what he was not able to finish.’
30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.
31 Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?
31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?
32 If not, then while the other is still far away, sending a delegation, he would ask him for terms of peace.
32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.
33 Therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses is not able to be my disciple.
33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.
34 Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be seasoned?
34 Buena es la sal; mas si aun la sal fuere desvanecida, ¿con qué se adobará?
35 It is useful neither in soil, nor in manure, so instead, it shall be thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35 Ni para la tierra, ni para el muladar es buena; fuera la arrojan. Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

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).
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.

They then represent the Saviour as having indicated this twofold faculty: first, the sustaining power, when He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross (Stauros), and follow after me, cannot be my disciple;" and again, "Taking up the cross, follow me;" but the separating power when He said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword." They also maintain …
Thus both of them, being now Thine, were building a tower at the necessary cost, --of forsaking all that they had and following Thee.

For this reason Luke saith, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple;" not commanding simply to hate them, since this were even quite contrary to the law; but "when one desires to be loved more …

John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first "resurrection of the just," and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth; and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his vision].
