Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que entrando en casa de un príncipe de los Fariseos un sábado á comer pan, ellos le acechaban.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
2 Y he aquí un hombre hidrópico estaba delante de él.
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
3 Y respondiendo Jesús, habló á los doctores de la ley y á los Fariseos, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
4 Y ellos callaron. Entonces él tomándole, le sanó, y despidióle.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
5 Y respondiendo á ellos dijo: ¿El asno ó el buey de cuál de vosotros caerá en [algún] pozo, y no lo sacará luego en día de sábado?
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
7 Y observando cómo escogían los primeros asientos á la mesa, propuso una parábola á los convidados, diciéndoles:
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
8 Cuando fueres convidado de alguno á bodas, no te sientes en el primer lugar, no sea que otro más honrado que tú esté por él convidado,
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
9 Y viniendo el que te llamó á ti y á él, te diga: Da lugar á éste: y entonces comiences con vergüenza á tener el lugar último.
10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
10 Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan á la mesa.
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
11 Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
12 Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida ó cena, no llames á tus amigos, ni á tus hermanos, ni á tus parientes, ni á vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan á convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
13 Mas cuando haces banquete, llama á los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos;
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
14 Y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden retribuir; mas te será recompensado en la resurrección de los justos.
15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados á la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el reino de los cielos.
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una grande cena, y convidó á muchos.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
17 Y á la hora de la cena envió á su siervo á decir á los convidados: Venid, que ya está todo aparejado.
18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
18 Y comenzaron todos á una á excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito salir y verla; te ruego que me des por excusado.
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
19 Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy á probarlos; ruégote que me des por excusado.
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
20 Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.
21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
21 Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas á su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de la familia, dijo á su siervo: Ve presto por las plazas y por las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá los pobres, los mancos, y cojos, y ciegos.
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
22 Y dijo el siervo: Señor, hecho es como mandaste, y aun hay lugar.
23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
23 Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
24 Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron llamados, gustará mi cena.
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
25 Y muchas gentes iban con él; y volviéndose les dijo:
26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
26 Si alguno viene á mí, y no aborrece á su padre, y madre, y mujer, é hijos, y hermanos, y hermanas, y aun también su vida, no puede ser mi discípulo.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
27 Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
28 Porque ¿cuál de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no cuenta primero sentado los gastos, si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla?
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.
31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
34 Buena es la sal; mas si aun la sal fuere desvanecida, ¿con qué se adobará?
35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
35 Ni para la tierra, ni para el muladar es buena; fuera la arrojan. Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

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).
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.

They then represent the Saviour as having indicated this twofold faculty: first, the sustaining power, when He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross (Stauros), and follow after me, cannot be my disciple;" and again, "Taking up the cross, follow me;" but the separating power when He said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword." They also maintain …
Thus both of them, being now Thine, were building a tower at the necessary cost, --of forsaking all that they had and following Thee.

For this reason Luke saith, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple;" not commanding simply to hate them, since this were even quite contrary to the law; but "when one desires to be loved more …

John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first "resurrection of the just," and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth; and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his vision].
