1 Now it happened that, on the second first Sabbath, as he passed through the grain field, his disciples were separating the ears of grain and eating them, by rubbing them in their hands.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que pasando él por los sembrados en un sábado segundo del primero, sus discípulos arrancaban espigas, y comían, restregándolas con las manos.
2 Then certain Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
2 Y algunos de los Fariseos les dijeron: ¿Por qué hacéis lo que no es lícito hacer en los sábados?
3 And responding to them, Jesus said: “Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him?
3 Y respondiendo Jesús les dijo: ¿Ni aun esto habéis leído, qué hizo David cuando tuvo hambre, él, y los que con él estaban;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and took the bread of the Presence, and ate it, and gave it to those who were with him, though it is not lawful for anyone to eat it, except the priests alone?”
4 Cómo entró en la casa de Dios, y tomó los panes de la proposición, y comió, y dió también á los que estaban con él, los cuales no era lícito comer, sino á solos los sacerdotes?
5 And he said to them, “For the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
5 Y les decía: El Hijo del hombre es Señor aun del sábado.
6 And it happened that, on another Sabbath, he entered into the synagogue, and he taught. And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
6 Y aconteció también en otro sábado, que él entró en la sinagoga y enseñaba; y estaba allí un hombre que tenía la mano derecha seca.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees observed whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might thereby find an accusation against him.
7 Y le acechaban los escribas y los Fariseos, si sanaría en sábado, por hallar de qué le acusasen.
8 Yet truly, he knew their thoughts, and so he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” And rising up, he stood still.
8 Mas él sabía los pensamientos de ellos; y dijo al hombre que tenía la mano seca: Levántate, y ponte en medio. Y él levantándose, se puso en pie.
9 Then Jesus said to them: “I ask you if it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To give health to a life, or to destroy it?”
9 Entonces Jesús les dice: Os preguntaré [una cosa]: ¿Es lícito en sábados hacer bien, ó hacer mal? ¿salvar la vida, ó quitarla?
10 And looking around at everyone, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it. And his hand was restored.
10 Y mirándolos á todos alrededor, dice al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y él lo hizo así, y su mano fué restaurada.
11 Then they were filled with madness, and they discussed with one another, what, in particular, they might do about Jesus.
11 Y ellos se llenaron de rabia; y hablaban los unos á los otros qué harían á Jesús.
12 And it happened that, in those days, he went out to a mountain to pray. And he was in the prayer of God throughout the night.
12 Y aconteció en aquellos días, que fué al monte á orar, y pasó la noche orando á Dios.
13 And when daylight had arrived, he called his disciples. And he chose twelve out of them (whom he also named Apostles):
13 Y como fué de día, llamó á sus discípulos, y escogió doce de ellos, á los cuales también llamó apóstoles:
14 Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
14 A Simón, al cual también llamó Pedro, y á Andrés su hermano, Jacobo y Juan, Felipe y Bartolomé,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon who is called the Zealot,
15 Mateo y Tomás, Jacobo [hijo] de Alfeo, y Simón el que se llama Celador,
16 and Jude of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was a traitor.
16 Judas hermano de Jacobo, y Judas Iscariote, que también fué el traidor.
17 And descending with them, he stood in a level place with a multitude of his disciples, and a copious multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast, and Tyre and Sidon,
17 Y descendió con ellos, y se paró en un lugar llano, y la compañía de sus discípulos, y una grande multitud de pueblo de toda Judea y de Jerusalem, y de la costa de Tiro y de Sidón, que habían venido á oirle, y para ser sanados de sus enfermedades;
18 who had come so that they might listen to him and be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.
18 Y los que habían sido atormentados de espíritus inmundos: y estaban curados.
19 And the entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power went out from him and healed all.
19 Y toda la gente procuraba tocarle; porque salía de él virtud, y sanaba á todos.
20 And lifting up his eyes to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
20 Y alzando él los ojos á sus discípulos, decía: Bienaventurados [vosotros] los pobres; porque vuestro es el reino de Dios.
21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who are weeping now, for you shall laugh.
21 Bienaventurados los que ahora tenéis hambre; porque seréis saciados. Bienaventurados los que ahora lloráis, porque reiréis.
22 Blessed shall you be when men will have hated you, and when they will have separated you and reproached you, and thrown out your name as if evil, because of the Son of man.
22 Bienaventurados seréis, cuando los hombres os aborrecieren, y cuando os apartaren de sí, y os denostaren, y desecharen vuestro nombre como malo, por el Hijo del hombre.
23 Be glad in that day and exult. For behold, your reward is great in heaven. For these same things their fathers did to the prophets.
23 Gozaos en aquel día, y alegraos; porque he aquí vuestro galardón es grande en los cielos; porque así hacían sus padres á los profetas.
24 Yet truly, woe to you who are wealthy, for you have your consolation.
24 Mas ¡ay de vosotros, ricos! porque tenéis vuestro consuelo.
25 Woe to you who are satisfied, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
25 ¡Ay de vosotros, los que estáis hartos! porque tendréis hambre. ¡Ay de vosotros, los que ahora reís! porque lamentaréis y lloraréis.
26 Woe to you when men will have blessed you. For these same things their fathers did to the false prophets.
26 ¡Ay de vosotros, cuando todos los hombres dijeren bien de vosotros! porque así hacían sus padres á los falsos profetas.
27 But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
27 Mas á vosotros los que oís, digo: Amad á vuestros enemigos, haced bien á los que os aborrecen;
28 Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you.
28 Bendecid á los que os maldicen, y orad por los que os calumnian.
29 And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic.
29 Y al que te hiriere en la mejilla, dale también la otra; y al que te quitare la capa, ni aun el sayo le defiendas.
30 But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours.
30 Y á cualquiera que te pidiere, da; y al que tomare lo que es tuyo, no vuelvas á pedir.
31 And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same.
31 Y como queréis que os hagan los hombres, así hacedles también vosotros:
32 And if you love those who love you, what credit is due to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
32 Porque si amáis á los que os aman, ¿qué gracias tendréis? porque también los pecadores aman á los que los aman.
33 And if you will do good to those who do good to you, what credit is due to you? Indeed, even sinners behave this way.
33 Y si hiciereis bien á los que os hacen bien, ¿qué gracias tendréis? porque también los pecadores hacen lo mismo.
34 And if you will loan to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is due to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, in order to receive the same in return.
34 Y si prestareis á aquellos de quienes esperáis recibir, ¿qué gracias tendréis? porque también los pecadores prestan á los pecadores, para recibir otro tanto.
35 So truly, love your enemies. Do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and to the wicked.
35 Amad, pues, á vuestros enemigos, y haced bien, y prestad, no esperando de ello nada; y será vuestro galardón grande, y seréis hijos del Altísimo: porque él es benigno para con los ingratos y malos.
36 Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father is also merciful.
36 Sed pues misericordiosos, como también vuestro Padre es misericordioso.
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
37 No juzguéis, y no seréis juzgados: no condenéis, y no seréis condenados: perdonad, y seréis perdonados.
38 Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure, pressed down and shaken together and overflowing, they will place upon your lap. Certainly, the same measure that you use to measure out, will be used to measure back to you again.”
38 Dad, y se os dará; medida buena, apretada, remecida, y rebosando darán en vuestro seno: porque con la misma medida que midiereis, os será vuelto á medir.
39 Now he told them another comparison: “How can the blind lead the blind? Would they not both fall into a pit?
39 Y les decía una parábola: ¿Puede el ciego guiar al ciego? ¿No caerán ambos en el hoyo?
40 The disciple is not above his teacher. But each one will be perfected, if he is like his teacher.
40 El discípulo no es sobre su maestro; mas cualquiera que fuere como el maestro, será perfecto.
41 And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?
41 ¿Por qué miras la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y la viga que está en tu propio ojo no consideras?
42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.
42 ¿O cómo puedes decir á tu hermano: Hermano, deja, echaré fuera la paja que está en tu ojo, no mirando tú la viga que está en tu ojo? Hipócrita, echa primero fuera de tu ojo la viga, y entonces verás bien para sacar la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano.
43 For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit.
43 Porque no es buen árbol el que da malos frutos; ni árbol malo el que da buen fruto.
44 For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush.
44 Porque cada árbol por su fruto es conocido: que no cogen higos de los espinos, ni vendimian uvas de las zarzas.
45 A good man, from the good storehouse of his heart, offers what is good. And an evil man, from the evil storehouse, offers what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
45 El buen hombre del buen tesoro de su corazón saca bien; y el mal hombre del mal tesoro de su corazón saca mal; porque de la abundancia del corazón habla su boca.
46 But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?
46 ¿Por qué me llamáis, Señor, Señor, y no hacéis lo que digo?
47 Anyone who comes to me, and listens to my words, and does them: I will reveal to you what he is like.
47 Todo aquel que viene á mí, y oye mis palabras, y las hace, os enseñaré á quién es semejante:
48 He is like a man building a house, who has dug deep and has laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when the floodwaters came, the river was rushing against that house, and it was not able to move it. For it was founded upon the rock.
48 Semejante es al hombre que edifica una casa, el cual cavó y ahondó, y puso el fundamento sobre la peña; y cuando vino una avenida, el río dió con ímpetu en aquella casa, mas no la pudo menear: porque estaba fundada sobre la peña.
49 But whoever hears and does not do: he is like a man building his house upon the soil, without a foundation. The river rushed against it, and it soon fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.”
49 Mas el que oyó y no hizo, semejante es al hombre que edificó su casa sobre tierra, sin fundamento; en la cual el río dió con ímpetu, y luego cayó; y fué grande la ruina de aquella casa.

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).
… false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord said in His teaching: "Judge not, that ye be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven unto you; be merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; with what measure ye mete, it shall be …
But I say unto you, Pray for your enemies, and love them that hate you, and bless them that curse you, and pray for them that despitefully use you." And that we should communicate to the needy, and do nothing for glory, He said, "Give to him that asketh, and from him that would borrow turn not away; for if …
The production, again, of the Duodecad of the Æons, is indicated by the fact that the Lord was twelve years of age when He disputed with the teachers of the law, and by the election of the apostles, for of these there were twelve. The other eighteen Æons are made manifest in this way: that the Lord, [according to them,] …
… they are multiplied above number." This takes place now, since He has spoken, first by the mouth of his forerunner John, and afterward by His own mouth, saying, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He chose disciples, whom He also called apostles, of lowly birth, unhonored, and illiterate, so that whatever great thing they might be or …

And again He saith, "When they shall cast out your name as evil, rejoice ye, and leap for joy." For not only of the dangers they underwent, but of the calumny also, He appoints the recompence to be great.
