WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and 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.
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
2 And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
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.
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking 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.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
4 Y les apareció Elías con Moisés, que hablaban con Jesús.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with 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;
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
6 Porque no sabía lo que hablaba; que estaban espantados.
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only 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.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
8 Y luego, como miraron, no vieron más á nadie consigo, sino á Jesús solo.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
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.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
10 Y retuvieron la palabra en sí, altercando qué sería aquéllo: Resucitar de los muertos.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
11 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga antes?
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would,) as it is written of 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.
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
13 And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
13 Empero os digo que Elías [ya] vino, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, como está escrito de él.
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
14 Y como vino á los discípulos, vió grande compañía alrededor de ellos, y escribas que disputaban con ellos.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
15 Y luego toda la gente, viéndole, se espantó, y corriendo á él, le saludaron.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
16 Y preguntóles: ¿Qué disputáis con ellos?
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy 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,
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto 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.
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
19 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¡Oh generación infiel! ¿hasta cuándo estaré con vosotros? ¿hasta cuándo os tengo de sufrir? Traédmele.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
20 Y se le trajeron: y como le vió, luego el espíritu le desgarraba; y cayendo en tierra, se revolcaba, echando espumarajos.
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
21 Y [Jesús] preguntó á su padre: ¿Cuánto tiempo há que le aconteció esto? Y él dijo: Desde niño:
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
22 Y muchas veces le echa en el fuego y en aguas, para matarle; mas, si puedes algo, ayúdanos, teniendo misericordia de nosotros.
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
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.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
24 Y luego el padre del muchacho dijo clamando: Creo, ayuda mi incredulidad.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, 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.
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
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.
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
27 Mas Jesús tomándole de la mano, enderezóle; y se levantó.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
28 Y como él entró en casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron aparte: ¿Por qué nosotros no pudimos echarle fuera?
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
29 And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
29 Y les dijo: Este género con nada puede salir, sino con oración y ayuno.
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
30 Y habiendo salido de allí, caminaron por Galilea; y no quería que nadie lo supiese.
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
31 But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask 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.
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
32 Pero ellos no entendían [esta] palabra, y tenían miedo de preguntarle.
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
33 Y llegó á Capernaum; y así que estuvo en casa, les preguntó: ¿Qué disputabais entre vosotros en el camino?
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire 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.
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith 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.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
36 Y tomando un niño, púsolo en medio de ellos; y tomándole en sus brazos, les dice:
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade 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.
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of 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.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
39 For he that 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.
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, 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.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast 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.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into 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.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 Where there worm dieth not, 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;
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
44 And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, 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.
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Where their worm dieth not, 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;
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched—
46 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, 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.
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Where the worm dieth not, 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;
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
48 For every one 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.
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
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.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

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 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.

… note how, whenever He instructs us about His Father, He is in the habit of using terms of personal authority, saying, "I will; be thou clean;" and "Peace, be still;" and "But I say unto you;" and "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee;" and all other expressions of the same kind, in order that by these we may …
