RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
1 TAMBIÉN les dijo: De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte hasta que hayan visto el reino de Dios que viene con potencia.
2 And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
2 Y seis días después tomó Jesús á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y los sacó aparte solos á un monte alto; y fué transfigurado delante de ellos.
3 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
3 Y sus vestidos se volvieron resplandecientes, muy blancos, como la nieve; tanto que ningún lavador en la tierra los puede hacer tan blancos.
4 And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
4 Y les apareció Elías con Moisés, que hablaban con Jesús.
5 For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
5 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, dice á Jesús: Maestro, bien será que nos quedemos aquí, y hagamos tres pabellones: para ti uno, y para Moisés otro, y para Elías otro;
6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
6 Porque no sabía lo que hablaba; que estaban espantados.
7 And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
7 Y vino una nube que les hizo sombra, y una voz de la nube, que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado: á él oid.
8 And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
8 Y luego, como miraron, no vieron más á nadie consigo, sino á Jesús solo.
9 And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
9 Y descendiendo ellos del monte, les mandó que á nadie dijesen lo que habían visto, sino cuando el Hijo del hombre hubiese resucitado de los muertos.
10 And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
10 Y retuvieron la palabra en sí, altercando qué sería aquéllo: Resucitar de los muertos.
11 And in response, he said to them: “Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
11 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga antes?
12 But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him.”
12 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Elías á la verdad, viniendo antes, restituirá todas las cosas: y como está escrito del Hijo del hombre, que padezca mucho y sea tenido en nada.
13 And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
13 Empero os digo que Elías [ya] vino, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, como está escrito de él.
14 And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
14 Y como vino á los discípulos, vió grande compañía alrededor de ellos, y escribas que disputaban con ellos.
15 And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
15 Y luego toda la gente, viéndole, se espantó, y corriendo á él, le saludaron.
16 And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
16 Y preguntóles: ¿Qué disputáis con ellos?
17 And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.”
17 Y respondiendo uno de la compañía, dijo: Maestro, traje á ti mi hijo, que tiene un espíritu mudo,
18 And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”
18 El cual, donde quiera que le toma, le despedaza; y echa espumarajos, y cruje los dientes, y se va secando: y dije á tus discípulos que le echasen fuera, y no pudieron.
19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
19 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¡Oh generación infiel! ¿hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿hasta cuándo os tengo de sufrir? Traédmele.
20 And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
20 Y se le trajeron: y como le vió, luego el espíritu le desgarraba; y cayendo en tierra, se revolcaba, echando espumarajos.
21 And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.”
21 Y [Jesús] preguntó á su padre: ¿Cuánto tiempo há que le aconteció esto? Y él dijo: Desde niño:
22 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
22 Y muchas veces le echa en el fuego y en aguas, para matarle; mas, si puedes algo, ayúdanos, teniendo misericordia de nosotros.
23 And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
23 Y Jesús le dijo: Si puedes creer, al que cree todo es posible.
24 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”
24 Y luego el padre del muchacho dijo clamando: Creo, ayuda mi incredulidad.
25 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
25 Y como Jesús vió que la multitud se agolpaba, reprendió al espíritu inmundo, diciéndole: Espíritu mudo y sordo, yo te mando, sal de él, y no entres más en él.
26 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
26 Entonces [el espíritu] clamando y desgarrándole mucho, salió; y [él] quedó como muerto, de modo que muchos decían: Está muerto.
27 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
27 Mas Jesús tomándole de la mano, enderezóle; y se levantó.
28 And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
28 Y como él entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarle fuera?
29 And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
29 Y les dijo: Este género con nada puede salir, sino con oración y ayuno.
30 Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, “For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
30 Y habiendo salido de allí, caminaron por Galilea; y no quería que nadie lo supiese.
31 But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
31 Porque enseñaba á sus discípulos, y les decía: El Hijo del hombre será entregado en manos de hombres, y le matarán; mas muerto [él], resucitará al tercer día.
32 And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
32 Pero ellos no entendían [esta] palabra, y tenían miedo de preguntarle.
33 But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
33 Y llegó á Capernaum; y así que estuvo en casa, les preguntó: ¿Qué disputabais entre vosotros en el camino?
34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”
34 Mas ellos callaron; porque los unos con los otros habían disputado en el camino quién [había de ser] el mayor.
35 And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
35 Entonces sentándose, llamó á los doce, y les dice: Si alguno quiere ser el primero, será el postrero de todos, y el servidor de todos.
36 “Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
36 Y tomando un niño, púsolo en medio de ellos; y tomándole en sus brazos, les dice:
37 John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”
37 El que recibiere en mi nombre uno de los tales niños, á mí recibe; y el que á mí recibe, no recibe á mí, mas al que me envió.
38 But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
38 Y respondióle Juan, diciendo: Maestro, hemos visto á uno que en tu nombre echaba fuera los demonios, el cual no nos sigue; y se lo prohibimos, porque no nos sigue.
39 For whoever is not against you is for you.
39 Y Jesús dijo: No se lo prohibáis; porque ninguno hay que haga milagro en mi nombre que luego pueda decir mal de mí.
40 For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
40 Porque el que no es contra nosotros, por nosotros es.
41 And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
41 Y cualquiera que os diere un vaso de agua en mi nombre, porque sois de Cristo, de cierto os digo que no perderá su recompensa.
42 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,
42 Y cualquiera que escandalizare á uno de estos pequeñitos que creen en mí, mejor le fuera si se le atase una piedra de molino al cuello, y fuera echado en la mar.
43 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
43 Y si tu mano te escandalizare, córtala: mejor te es entrar á la vida manco, que teniendo dos manos ir á la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado;
44 But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire,
44 Donde su gusano no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
45 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 Y si tu pie te fuere ocasión de caer, córtalo: mejor te es entrar á la vida cojo, que teniendo dos pies ser echado en la Gehenna, al fuego que no puede ser apagado;
46 But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire,
46 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
47 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 Y si tu ojo te fuere ocasión de caer, sácalo: mejor te es entrar al reino de Dios con un ojo, que teniendo dos ojos ser echado á la Gehenna;
48 For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
48 Donde el gusano de ellos no muere, y el fuego nunca se apaga.
49 Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.”
49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego, y todo sacrificio será salado con sal. 50 Buena es la sal; mas si la sal fuere desabrida, ¿con qué la adobaréis? Tened en vosotros mismos sal; y tened paz los unos con los otros.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 9:44 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXXI–XXXII)

    … "The righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father;" but He shall send the unrighteous, and those who do not the works of righteousness, "into everlasting fire, where their worm shall not die, and the fire shall not be quenched."

    … fire is not quenched." So, too, of the eye: "It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." He did not shrink from using the same words three times over in one passage.

    For here He signified one actually against them, but there He points to one who in part is on their side: "For they cast out devils," it is said "in Thy name." But to me He seems here to be hinting also at the Jews, setting them on the devil's side.
