RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,

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 dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath 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 Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:

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

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

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

5 But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?

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

6 But if we 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, that they knew not whence it was.

7 Y respondieron que no sabían de dónde.

8 And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee 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 certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad 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 at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating 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 servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, 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 the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

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

13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.

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

14 Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

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

15 So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will 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 will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.

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 on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

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 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will 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 to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to 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 being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power 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: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.

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 no?

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

23 But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?

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

24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, 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: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.

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

26 And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.

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

27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,

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

28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto 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 therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

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

30 And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.

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

31 And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.

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

32 Last of all the woman died also.

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

33 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to 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 children 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 that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.

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 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children 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 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at 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 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to 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 to him: Master, thou hast said well.

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

40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.

40 Y no osaron más preguntarle algo.

41 But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?

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

42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on 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 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

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

44 David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?

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

45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:

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

46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:

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, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.

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.
