RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,

1 Y ACONTECIÓ un día, que enseñando él al pueblo en el templo, y anunciando el evangelio, llegáronse los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas, con los ancianos;

2 and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?

2 Y le hablaron, diciendo: Dinos: ¿con qué potestad haces estas cosas? ¿ó quién es el que te ha dado esta potestad?

3 And he answering said to them, I also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:

3 Respondiendo entonces Jesús, les dijo: Os preguntaré yo también una palabra; respondedme:

4 The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men?

4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres?

5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?

5 Mas ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?

6 but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

6 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, todo el pueblo nos apedreará: porque están ciertos que Juan era profeta.

7 And they answered, they did not know whence.

7 Y respondieron que no sabían de dónde.

8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

8 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Ni yo os digo con qué potestad hago estas cosas.

9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time.

9 Y comenzó á decir al pueblo esta parábola: Un hombre plantó una viña, y arrendóla á labradores, y se ausentó por mucho tiempo.

10 And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.

10 Y al tiempo, envió un siervo á los labradores, para que le diesen del fruto de la viña; mas los labradores le hirieron, y enviaron vacío.

11 And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.

11 Y volvió á enviar otro siervo; mas ellos á éste también, herido y afrentado, le enviaron vacío.

12 And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.

12 Y volvió á enviar al tercer siervo; mas ellos también á éste echaron herido.

13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].

13 Entonces el señor de la viña dijo: ¿Qué haré? Enviaré mi hijo amado: quizás cuando á éste vieren, tendrán respeto.

14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come,] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

14 Mas los labradores, viéndole, pensaron entre sí, diciendo: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle para que la heredad sea nuestra.

15 And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

15 Y echáronle fuera de la viña, y le mataron. ¿Qué pues, les hará el señor de la viña?

16 He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!

16 Vendrá, y destruirá á estos labradores, y dará su viña á otros. Y como ellos lo oyeron, dijeron: ¡Dios nos libre!

17 But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

17 Mas él mirándolos, dice: ¿Qué pues es lo que está escrito: La piedra que condenaron los edificadores, ésta fué por cabeza de esquina?

18 Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

18 Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; mas sobre el que la piedra cayere, le desmenuzará.

19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.

19 Y procuraban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas echarle mano en aquella hora, porque entendieron que contra ellos había dicho esta parábola: mas temieron al pueblo.

20 And having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

20 Y acechándole enviaron espías que se simulasen justos, para sorprenderle en palabras, para que le entregasen al principado y á la potestad del presidente.

21 And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:

21 Los cuales le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que dices y enseñas bien, y que no tienes respeto á persona; antes enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad.

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

22 ¿Nos es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?

23 But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?

23 Mas él, entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?

24 Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.

24 Mostradme la moneda. ¿De quién tiene la imagen y la inscripción? Y respondiendo dijeron: De César.

25 And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

25 Entonces les dijo: Pues dad á César lo que es de César; y lo que es de Dios, á Dios.

26 And they were not able to take hold of him in [his] expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.

26 Y no pudieron reprender sus palabras delante del pueblo: antes maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.

27 And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to him],

27 Y llegándose unos de los Saduceos, los cuales niegan haber resurrección, le preguntaron,

28 demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

28 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés nos escribió: Si el hermano de alguno muriere teniendo mujer, y muriere sin hijos, que su hermano tome la mujer, y levante simiente á su hermano.

29 There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;

29 Fueron, pues, siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió sin hijos.

30 and the second [took the woman, and he died childless];

30 Y la tomó el segundo, el cual también murió sin hijos.

31 and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;

31 Y la tomó el tercero: asimismo también todos siete: y murieron sin dejar prole.

32 and last of all the woman also died.

32 Y á la postre de todos murió también la mujer.

33 In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

33 En la resurrección, pues, ¿mujer de cuál de ellos será? porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.

34 And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage,

34 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Los hijos de este siglo se casan, y son dados en casamiento:

35 but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

35 Mas los que fueren tenidos por dignos de aquel siglo y de la resurrección de los muertos, ni se casan, ni son dados en casamiento:

36 for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

36 Porque no pueden ya más morir: porque son iguales á los ángeles, y son hijos de Dios, cuando son hijos de la resurrección.

37 But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

37 Y que los muertos hayan de resucitar, aun Moisés lo enseñó en el [pasaje de] la zarza, cuando llama al Señor: Dios de Abraham, y Dios de Isaac, y Dios de Jacob.

38 but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.

38 Porque Dios no es [Dios] de muertos, mas de vivos: porque todos viven á él.

39 And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.

39 Y respondiéndole unos de los escribas, dijeron: Maestro, bien has dicho.

40 For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.

40 Y no osaron más preguntarle algo.

41 And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

41 Y él les dijo: ¿Cómo dicen que el Cristo es hijo de David?

42 and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand

42 Y el mismo David dice en el libro de los Salmos: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra,

43 until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

43 Entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.

44 David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

44 Así que David le llama Señor: ¿cómo pues es su hijo?

45 And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

45 Y oyéndole todo el pueblo, dijo á sus discípulos:

46 Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;

46 Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas, y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;

47 who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.

47 Que devoran las casas de las viudas, poniendo por pretexto la larga oración: éstos recibirán mayor condenación.

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).

Quotes verse 20:34 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 20–22)
… complete this most blessed city would have been as great though no one had sinned, as it is now that the grace of God gathers its citizens out of the multitude of sinners, so long as the children of this world generate and are generated. And therefore that marriage, worthy of the happiness of Paradise, should have had desirable fruit …

Quotes verse 20:35 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 17–19)
But Enos means man in so restricted a sense, that Hebrew linguists tell us it cannot be applied to woman: it is the equivalent of the "child of the resurrection," when they neither marry nor are given in marriage. For there shall be no generation in that place to which regeneration shall have brought us.
