RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 The Pharisees and religious leaders who had come down from Jerusalem to meet Jesus

1 Y SE juntaron á él los Fariseos, y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusalem;

2 noticed that some of his disciples ate with “unclean” (meaning unwashed) hands.

2 Los cuales, viendo á algunos de sus discípulos comer pan con manos comunes, es á saber, no lavadas, [los] condenaban.

3 (The Pharisees and all Jews don't eat until they wash their hands, following the tradition of their ancestors.

3 (Porque los Fariseos y todos los Judíos, teniendo la tradición de los ancianos, si muchas veces no se lavan las manos, no comen.

4 In the same way, they don't eat when they return from the market until they have had a wash. They observe many other rituals, like the washing of cups, pots, and pans.)

4 Y [volviendo] de la plaza, si no se lavaren, no comen. Y otras muchas cosas hay, que tomaron para guardar, como las lavaduras de los vasos [de beber], y de los jarros, y de los vasos de metal, y de los lechos.)

5 So the Pharisees and religious leaders asked Jesus, “Why don't your disciples follow the tradition of our ancestors? They eat food with unclean hands.”

5 Y le preguntaron los Fariseos y los escribas: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no andan conforme á la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos comunes?

6 Jesus replied, “Isaiah was right about you hypocrites when he said, ‘These people claim they honor me, but in their thinking they are far from me.

6 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, como está escrito: Este pueblo con los labios me honra, mas su corazón lejos está de mí.

7 There's no point in their worship of me, for what they teach as doctrines are merely human rules.’

7 Y en vano me honran, enseñando [como] doctrinas mandamientos de hombres.

8 You disregard God's law, and instead you carefully observe human traditions.”

8 Porque dejando el mandamiento de Dios, tenéis la tradición de los hombres; las lavaduras de los jarros y de los vasos [de beber]: y hacéis otras muchas cosas semejantes.

9 “How cleverly you set aside God's law so you can support your traditions!” he told them.

9 Les decía también: Bien invalidáis el mandamiento de Dios para guardar vuestra tradición.

10 “Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses their father or mother should die.’

10 Porque Moisés dijo: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre, y: El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, morirá de muerte.

11 But you say that if someone tells their father or mother, ‘Anything you might have received from me is now Corban,’ (that means dedicated to God),

11 Y vosotros decís: [Basta] si dijere un hombre al padre ó la madre: [Es] Corbán (quiere decir, don [mío á Dios]) todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;

12 then you don't permit them to do anything further for their mother or father.

12 Y no le dejáis hacer más por su padre ó por su madre,

13 By means of this tradition of yours that you pass down, you make God's word null and void. You do many other things like this.”

13 Invalidando la palabra de Dios con vuestra tradición que disteis: y muchas cosas hacéis semejantes á éstas.

14 Jesus called the crowd to him again and told them, “Please, everyone listen to me and understand.

14 Y llamando á toda la multitud, les dijo: Oidme todos, y entended:

15 It's not what's on the outside and goes into you that makes you unclean. It's what comes out that makes you unclean.”

15 Nada hay fuera del hombre que entre en él, que le pueda contaminar: mas lo que sale de él, aquello es lo que contamina al hombre.

16 Not in this translation

16 Si alguno tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

17 Then Jesus went inside to escape the crowd, and his disciples asked him about his illustration.

17 Y [apartado] de la multitud, habiendo entrado en casa, le preguntaron sus discípulos sobre la parábola.

18 “Don't you understand it either?” he asked them. “Don't you see that what you eat doesn't make you unclean?

18 Y díjoles: ¿También vosotros estáis así sin entendimiento? ¿No entendéis que todo lo de fuera que entra en el hombre, no le puede contaminar;

19 It doesn't go into your mind, but into your stomach, and then passes out of the body. So all foods are ceremonially ‘clean.’

19 Porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el vientre, y sale á la secreta? [Esto decía], haciendo limpias todas las viandas.

20 It's what comes out of you that makes you unclean.

20 Mas decía, que lo que del hombre sale, aquello contamina al hombre.

21 It's from the inside, from people's minds, that evil thoughts come: sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

21 Porque de dentro, del corazón de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los homicidios,

22 greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, thoughtlessness—

22 Los hurtos, las avaricias, las maldades, el engaño, las desvergüenzas, el ojo maligno, las injurias, la soberbia, la insensatez.

23 all these evils come from inside and defile people.”

23 Todas estas maldades de dentro salen, y contaminan al hombre.

24 Then Jesus left and went to the region of Tyre. He didn't want anyone to know he was staying in a house there, but he couldn't keep it a secret.

24 Y levantándose de allí, se fué á los términos de Tiro y de Sidón; y entrando en casa, quiso que nadie [lo] supiese; mas no pudo esconderse.

25 As soon as a woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about him, she came and fell at his feet.

25 Porque una mujer, cuya hija tenía un espíritu inmundo, luego que oyó de él, vino y se echó á sus pies.

26 The woman was Greek, born in Syrophoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive out the demon from her daughter.

26 Y la mujer era Griega, Sirofenisa de nación; y le rogaba que echase fuera de su hija al demonio.

27 “First let the children eat until they're full,” Jesus replied. “It's not right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.”

27 Mas Jesús le dijo: Deja primero hartarse los hijos, porque no es bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo á los perrillos.

28 “True, sir,” she said, “but even the dogs under the table eat the scraps the children leave.”

28 Y respondió ella, y le dijo: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perrillos debajo de la mesa, comen de las migajas de los hijos.

29 Jesus told her, “For such an answer you may go—the demon has left your daughter.”

29 Entonces le dice: Por esta palabra, ve; el demonio ha salido de tu hija.

30 She went home and found the child lying on the bed, the demon gone.

30 Y como fué á su casa, halló que el demonio había salido, y á la hija echada sobre la cama.

31 Leaving the region of Tyre, Jesus passed through Sidon and then on to the Sea of Galilee and the territory of the Ten Cities.

31 Y volviendo á salir de los términos de Tiro, vino por Sidón á la mar de Galilea, por mitad de los términos de Decápolis.

32 There they brought him a deaf man who also could not speak properly. They asked Jesus to touch the man with his hand and heal him.

32 Y le traen un sordo y tartamudo, y le ruegan que le ponga la mano encima.

33 After Jesus took him aside from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers in the deaf man's ears. Then he touched the man's tongue with spit.

33 Y tomándole aparte de la gente, metió sus dedos en las orejas de él, y escupiendo, tocó su lengua;

34 Jesus looked up to heaven and with a sigh he said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Open!”

34 Y mirando al cielo, gimió, y le dijo: Ephphatha: que es [decir]: Sé abierto.

35 The man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was gone, and he began speaking properly.

35 Y luego fueron abiertos sus oídos, y fué desatada la ligadura de su lengua, y hablaba bien.

36 Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone, but the more he said this, the more they spread the news.

36 Y les mandó que no lo dijesen á nadie; pero cuanto más les mandaba, tanto más y más lo divulgaban.

37 They were totally amazed and said, “Everything he does is marvelous. He even makes the deaf hear, and the dumb speak.”

37 Y en gran manera se maravillaban, diciendo: Bien lo ha hecho todo: hace á los sordos oir, y á los mudos hablar.

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).
