1 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:
2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;
3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.
4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.
5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;
6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.
7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.
9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.
10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.
12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
14 For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.
15 Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.
15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.
16 And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;
16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.
17 tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
18 But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?
19 Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.
20 And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?
21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.
22 And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.
23 On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,
24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.
24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.
26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.
27 And last of all the woman also died.
27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.
29 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.
32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.
33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
37 And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
38 This is [the] great and first commandment.
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
39 And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,
41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,
42 saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.
43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?
44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
45 If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?
45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.

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).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's." And again He answered them, "Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's." Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, …
To those, therefore, who are ignorant of these matters, and on this account imagine that they have discovered another Father, justly does one say, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
Can it at any time or place be an unrighteous thing for a man to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and his neighbour as himself?
