1 And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.
1 Y COMO acabó todas sus palabras oyéndole el pueblo, entró en Capernaum.
2 And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.
2 Y el siervo de un centurión, al cual tenía él en estima, estaba enfermo y á punto de morir.
3 And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
3 Y como oyó [hablar] de Jesús, envió á él los ancianos de los Judíos, rogándole que viniese y librase á su siervo.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
4 Y viniendo ellos á Jesús, rogáronle con diligencia, diciéndole: Porque es digno de concederle esto;
5 For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
5 Que ama nuestra nación, y él nos edificó una sinagoga.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
6 Y Jesús fué con ellos. Mas como ya no estuviesen lejos de su casa, envió el centurión amigos á él, diciéndole: Señor, no te incomodes, que no soy digno que entres debajo de mi tejado;
7 For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
7 Por lo cual ni aun me tuve por digno de venir á ti; mas di la palabra, y mi siervo será sano.
8 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
8 Porque también yo soy hombre puesto en potestad, que tengo debajo de mí soldados; y digo á éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y á mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
9 Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.
9 Lo cual oyendo Jesús, se maravilló de él, y vuelto, dijo á las gentes que le seguían: Os digo [que] ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
10 And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
10 Y vueltos á casa los que habían sido enviados, hallaron sano al siervo que había estado enfermo.
11 And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
11 Y aconteció después, que él iba á la ciudad que se llama Naín, é iban con él muchos de sus discípulos, y gran compañía.
12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
12 Y como llegó cerca de la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí que sacaban fuera á un difunto, unigénito de su madre, la cual también era viuda: y había con ella grande compañía de la ciudad.
13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
13 Y como el Señor la vió, compadecióse de ella, y le dice: No llores.
14 And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
14 Y acercándose, tocó el féretro: y los que [lo] llevaban, pararon. Y dice: Mancebo, á ti digo, levántate.
15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
15 Entonces se incorporó el que había muerto, y comenzó á hablar. Y dióle á su madre.
16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
16 Y todos tuvieron miedo, y glorificaban á Dios, diciendo: Que un gran profeta se ha levantado entre nosotros; y que Dios ha visitado á su pueblo.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.
17 Y salió esta fama de él por toda Judea, y por toda la tierra de alrededor.
18 And John’s disciples told him of all these things.
18 Y sus discípulos dieron á Juan las nuevas de todas estas cosas: y llamó Juan á dos de sus discípulos,
19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
19 Y envió á Jesús, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
20 And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
20 Y como los hombres vinieron á él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado á ti, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
21 (And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)
21 Y en la misma hora sanó á muchos de enfermedades y plagas, y de espíritus malos; y á muchos ciegos dió la vista.
22 And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Id, dad las nuevas á Juan de lo que habéis visto y oído: que los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos son limpiados, los sordos oyen, los muertos resucitan, á los pobres es anunciado el evangelio:
23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
23 Y bienaventurado es el que no fuere escandalizado en mí.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
24 Y como se fueron los mensajeros de Juan, comenzó á hablar de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es agitada por el viento?
25 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.
25 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de vestidos delicados? He aquí, los que están en vestido precioso, y viven en delicias, en los palacios de los reyes están.
26 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
26 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? También os digo, y aun más que profeta.
27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
27 Este es de quien está escrito: He aquí, envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, el cual aparejará tu camino delante de ti.
28 For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
28 Porque os digo que entre los nacidos de mujeres, no hay mayor profeta que Juan el Bautista: mas el más pequeño en el reino de los cielos es mayor que él.
29 And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.
29 Y todo el pueblo oyéndole, y los publicanos, justificaron á Dios, bautizándose con el bautismo de Juan.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
30 Mas los Fariseos y los sabios de la ley, desecharon el consejo de Dios contra sí mismos, no siendo bautizados de él.
31 And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
31 Y dice el Señor: ¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y á qué son semejantes?
32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.
32 Semejantes son á los muchachos sentados en la plaza, y que dan voces los unos á los otros, y dicen: Os tañimos con flautas, y no bailasteis: os endechamos, y no llorasteis.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que ni comía pan, ni bebía vino, y decís: Demonio tiene.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
34 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores.
35 And wisdom is justified by all her children.
35 Mas la sabiduría es justificada de todos sus hijos.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
36 Y le rogó uno de los Fariseos, que comiese con él. Y entrado en casa del Fariseo, sentóse á la mesa.
37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;
37 Y he aquí una mujer que había sido pecadora en la ciudad, como entendió que estaba á la mesa en casa de aquel Fariseo, trajo un alabastro de ungüento,
38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
38 Y estando detrás á sus pies, comenzó llorando á regar con lágrimas sus pies, y los limpiaba con los cabellos de su cabeza; y besaba sus pies, y los ungía con el ungüento.
39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
39 Y como vió esto el Fariseo que le había convidado, habló entre sí, diciendo: Este, si fuera profeta, conocería quién y cuál es la mujer que le toca, que es pecadora.
40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.
40 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Simón, una cosa tengo que decirte. Y él dice: Di, Maestro.
41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
41 Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: el uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta;
42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?
42 Y no teniendo ellos de qué pagar, perdonó á ambos. Di, pues, ¿cuál de éstos le amará más?
43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.
43 Y respondiendo Simón, dijo: Pienso que aquél al cual perdonó más. Y él le dijo: Rectamente has juzgado.
44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.
44 Y vuelto á la mujer, dijo á Simón: ¿Ves esta mujer? Entré en tu casa, no diste agua para mis pies; mas ésta ha regado mis pies con lágrimas, y los ha limpiado con los cabellos.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
45 No me diste beso, mas ésta, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.
46 No ungiste mi cabeza con óleo; mas ésta ha ungido con ungüento mis pies.
47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.
47 Por lo cual te digo [que] sus muchos pecados son perdonados, porque amó mucho; mas al que se perdona poco, poco ama.
48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
48 Y á ella dijo: Los pecados te son perdonados.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
49 Y los que estaban juntamente sentados á la mesa, comenzaron á decir entre sí: ¿Quién es éste, que también perdona pecados?
50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.
50 Y dijo á la mujer: Tu fe te ha salvado, ve en paz.

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).
The miracles of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ make indeed an impression on all who hear of, and believe them; but on different men in different ways.

They maintain that he is the centurion mentioned in the Gospel, who addressed the Saviour in these words: "For I also am one having soldiers and servants under my authority; and whatsoever I command they do." They further hold that he will continue administering the affairs of the world as long as that is fitting and needful, and specially that …
For this Master of humility both by word and example, sat down even in the house of a certain proud Pharisee, by name Simon; and though He sat down in his house, there was no place in this heart, "where the Son of Man could lay His Head."

But see by another thing also how Luke hath proclaimed his faith, saying that his servant "was ready to die." Nevertheless, not even this cast him into despondency, neither did it cause him to give up: but even so he trusted that he should prevail.

Her name, too, was indicated by the Saviour, when He said, "Yet wisdom is justified by her children." This, too, was done by Paul in these words, "But we speak wisdom among them that are perfect." They declare also that Paul has referred to the conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means of one; for, when writing of …
