1 And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come!
1 Y Á SUS discípulos dice: Imposible es que no vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquél por quien vienen!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones.
2 Mejor le fuera, si le pusiesen al cuello una piedra de molino, y le lanzasen en el mar, que escandalizar á uno de estos pequeñitos.
3 Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.
3 Mirad por vosotros: si pecare contra ti tu hermano, repréndele; y si se arrepintiere, perdónale.
4 And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”
4 Y si siete veces al día pecare contra ti, y siete veces al día se volviere á ti, diciendo, pésame, perdónale.
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
5 Y dijeron los apóstoles al Señor: Auméntanos la fe.
6 But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you.
6 Entonces el Señor dijo: Si tuvieseis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis á este sicómoro: Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar; y os obedecerá.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’
7 ¿Y quién de vosotros tiene un siervo que ara ó apacienta, que vuelto del campo le diga luego: Pasa, siéntate á la mesa?
8 and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’
8 ¿No le dice antes: Adereza qué cene, y arremángate, y sírveme hasta que haya comido y bebido; y después de esto, come tú y bebe?
9 Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
9 ¿Da gracias al siervo porque hizo lo que le había sido mandado? Pienso que no.
10 I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’ ”
10 Así también vosotros, cuando hubiereis hecho todo lo que os es mandado, decid: Siervos inútiles somos, porque lo que debíamos hacer, hicimos.
11 And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
11 Y aconteció que yendo él á Jerusalem, pasaba por medio de Samaria y de Galilea.
12 And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
12 Y entrando en una aldea, viniéronle al encuentro diez hombres leprosos, los cuales se pararon de lejos,
13 And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
13 Y alzaron la voz, diciendo: Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros.
14 And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
14 Y como él los vió, les dijo: Id, mostraos á los sacerdotes. Y aconteció, que yendo ellos, fueron limpios.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
15 Entonces uno de ellos, como se vió que estaba limpio, volvió, glorificando á Dios á gran voz;
16 And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
16 Y derribóse sobre el rostro á sus pies, dándole gracias: y éste era Samaritano.
17 And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
17 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¿No son diez los que fueron limpios? ¿Y los nueve dónde están?
18 Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
18 ¿No hubo quien volviese y diese gloria á Dios sino este extranjero?
19 And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”
19 Y díjole: Levántate, vete; tu fe te ha salvado.
20 Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.
20 Y preguntado por los Fariseos, cuándo había de venir el reino de Dios, les respondió y dijo: El reino de Dios no vendrá con advertencia;
21 And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
21 Ni dirán: Helo aquí, ó helo allí: porque he aquí el reino de Dios entre vosotros está.
22 And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see it.
22 Y dijo á sus discípulos: Tiempo vendrá, cuando desearéis ver uno de los días del Hijo del hombre, y no lo veréis.
23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.
23 Y os dirán: Helo aquí, ó helo allí. No vayáis, ni sigáis.
24 For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.
24 Porque como el relámpago, relampagueando desde una parte de debajo del cielo, resplandece hasta la otra debajo del cielo, así también será el Hijo del hombre en su día.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 Mas primero es necesario que padezca mucho, y sea reprobado de esta generación.
26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of man.
26 Y como fué en los días de Noé, así también será en los días del Hijo del hombre.
27 They were eating and drinking; they were taking wives and being given in marriage, even until the day that Noah entered the ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
27 Comían, bebían, [los hombres] tomaban mujeres, y las mujeres maridos, hasta el día que entró Noé en el arca; y vino el diluvio, y destruyó á todos.
28 It shall be similar to what happened in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking; they were buying and selling; they were planting and building.
28 Asimismo también como fué en los días de Lot; comían, bebían, compraban, vendían, plantaban, edificaban;
29 Then, on the day that Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.
29 Mas el día que Lot salió de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y destruyó á todos:
30 According to these things, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will be revealed.
30 Como esto será el día en que el Hijo del hombre se manifestará.
31 In that hour, whoever will be on the rooftop, with his goods in the house, let him not descend to take them. And whoever will be in the field, similarly, let him not turn back.
31 En aquel día, el que estuviere en el terrado, y sus alhajas en casa, no descienda á tomarlas: y el que en el campo, asimismo no vuelva atrás.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
32 Acordaos de la mujer de Lot.
33 Whoever has sought to save his life, will lose it; and whoever has lost it, will bring it back to life.
33 Cualquiera que procurare salvar su vida, la perderá; y cualquiera que la perdiere, la salvará.
34 I say to you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.
34 Os digo que en aquella noche estarán dos en una cama; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
35 Two will be at the grindstone together. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind. Two will be in the field. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.”
35 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo juntas: la una será tomada, y la otra dejada.
36 Responding, they said to him, “Where, Lord?”
36 Dos estarán en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro dejado.
37 And he said to them, “Wherever the body will be, in that place also, the eagles shall be gathered together.”
37 Y respondiendo, le dicen: ¿Dónde, Señor? Y él les dijo: Donde [estuviere] el cuerpo, allá se juntarán también las águilas.

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.

But if thou thinkest that thou really art faithful, but hast not yet the fulness of faith, thou too hast need to say like the Apostles, Lord, increase our faith: for some part thou hast of thyself, but the greater part thou receivest from Him.
