1 It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices.
1 Y EN este mismo tiempo estaban allí unos que le contaban acerca de los Galileos, cuya sangre Pilato había mezclado con sus sacrificios.
2 “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
2 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Pensáis que estos Galileos, porque han padecido tales cosas, hayan sido más pecadores que todos los Galileos?
3 “No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
3 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis igualmente.
4 What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of Jerusalem?
4 O aquellos dieciocho, sobre los cuales cayó la torre en Siloé, y los mató, ¿pensáis que ellos fueron más deudores que todos los hombres que habitan en Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.”
5 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis asimismo.
6 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't find any.
6 Y dijo esta parábola: Tenía uno una higuera plantada en su viña, y vino á buscar fruto en ella, y no lo halló.
7 So he told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
7 Y dijo al viñero: He aquí tres años ha que vengo á buscar fruto en esta higuera, y no lo hallo; córtala, ¿por qué ocupará aún la tierra?
8 ‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
8 El entonces respondiendo, le dijo: Señor, déjala aún este año, hasta que la excave, y estercole.
9 If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
9 Y si hiciere fruto, [bien]; y si no, la cortarás después.
10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
10 Y enseñaba en una sinagoga en sábado.
11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand straight.
11 Y he aquí una mujer que tenía espíritu de enfermedad dieciocho años, y andaba agobiada, que en ninguna manera se podía enhestar.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
12 Y como Jesús la vió, llamóla, y díjole: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad.
13 Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up, and she praised God.
13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba á Dios.
14 However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiese curado en sábado, dijo á la compañía: Seis días hay en que es necesario obrar: en estos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en día de sábado.
15 But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
15 Entonces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, cada uno de vosotros ¿no desata en sábado su buey ó su asno del pesebre, y lo lleva á beber?
16 Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this Sabbath day?”
16 Y á esta hija de Abraham, que he aquí Satanás la había ligado dieciocho años, ¿no convino desatar[la] de esta ligadura en día de sábado?
17 What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
17 Y diciendo estas cosas, se avergonzaban todos sus adversarios: mas todo el pueblo se gozaba de todas las cosas gloriosas que eran por él hechas.
18 Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
18 Y dijo: ¿A qué es semejante el reino de Dios, y á qué le compararé?
19 It's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
19 Semejante es al grano de la mostaza, que tomándo[lo] un hombre lo metió en su huerto; y creció, y fué hecho árbol grande, y las aves del cielo hicieron nidos en sus ramas.
20 He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
20 Y otra vez dijo: ¿A qué compararé el reino de Dios?
21 It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
21 Semejante es á la levadura, que tomó una mujer, y [la] escondió en tres medidas de harina, hasta que todo hubo fermentado.
22 Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
22 Y pasaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando, y caminando á Jerusalem.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
23 Y díjole uno: Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan? Y él les dijo:
24 “Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
24 Porfiad á entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán.
25 Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
25 Después que el padre de familia se levantare, y cerrare la puerta, y comenzareis á estar fuera, y llamar á la puerta, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos; y respondiendo os dirá: No os conozco de dónde seáis.
26 Then you'll say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets!’
26 Entonces comenzaréis á decir: Delante de ti hemos comido y bebido, y en nuestras plazas enseñaste;
27 He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
27 Y [os] dirá: Dígoos que no os conozco de dónde seáis; apartaos de mí todos los obreros de iniquidad.
28 There will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
28 Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes, cuando viereis á Abraham, y á Isaac, y á Jacob, y á todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, y vosotros excluídos.
29 People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.
29 Y vendrán del Oriente y del Occidente, del Norte y del Mediodía, y se sentarán á la mesa en el reino de Dios.
30 For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
30 Y he aquí, son postreros los que eran los primeros; y son primeros los que eran los postreros.
31 At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. Herod wants to kill you!”
31 Aquel mismo día llegaron unos de los Fariseos, diciéndole: Sal, y vete de aquí, porque Herodes te quiere matar.
32 Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
32 Y les dijo: Id, y decid á aquella zorra: He aquí, echo fuera demonios y acabo sanidades hoy y mañana, y al tercer día soy consumado.
33 Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem!
33 Empero es menester que hoy, y mañana, y pasado mañana camine; porque no es posible que profeta muera fuera de Jerusalem.
34 Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
34 ¡Jerusalem, Jerusalem! que matas á los profetas, y apedreas á los que son enviados á ti: ¡cuántas veces quise juntar tus hijos, como la gallina sus pollos debajo de sus alas, y no quisiste!
35 Look, your house is left desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
35 He aquí, os es dejada vuestra casa desierta: y os digo que no me veréis, hasta que venga [tiempo] cuando digáis: Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor.

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).
Touching "the fig-tree" which had its three years' trial, and bare no fruit, and "the woman which was in an infirmity eighteen years," hearken to what the Lord may grant me to say. The fig-tree is the human race. And the three years are the three times; one before the Law, the second under the Law, the third under grace.

another woman was also healed, after suffering in like manner for eighteen years; concerning whom the Lord said, "And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound during eighteen years, to be set free on the Sabbath-day?" If, then, the former was a type of the twelfth Æon that suffered, the latter should also be a type of …
… sense, as when He said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees," and in a good sense, as when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened." For as this converts the large quantity of meal into its own quality, even so shall ye convert the whole world.
