Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
1 Y ACONTECIÓ un día, que enseñando él al pueblo en el templo, y anunciando el evangelio, llegáronse los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas, con los ancianos;
2 And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
2 Y le hablaron, diciendo: Dinos: ¿con qué potestad haces estas cosas? ¿ó quién es el que te ha dado esta potestad?
3 And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
3 Respondiendo entonces Jesús, les dijo: Os preguntaré yo también una palabra; respondedme:
4 The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres?
5 And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
5 Mas ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?
6 But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
6 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, todo el pueblo nos apedreará: porque están ciertos que Juan era profeta.
7 Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
7 Y respondieron que no sabían de dónde.
8 Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
8 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Ni yo os digo con qué potestad hago estas cosas.
9 Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
9 Y comenzó á decir al pueblo esta parábola: Un hombre plantó una viña, y arrendóla á labradores, y se ausentó por mucho tiempo.
10 And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
10 Y al tiempo, envió un siervo á los labradores, para que le diesen del fruto de la viña; mas los labradores le hirieron, y enviaron vacío.
11 Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
11 Y volvió á enviar otro siervo; mas ellos á éste también, herido y afrentado, le enviaron vacío.
12 Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
12 Y volvió á enviar al tercer siervo; mas ellos también á éste echaron herido.
13 Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
13 Entonces el señor de la viña dijo: ¿Qué haré? Enviaré mi hijo amado: quizás cuando á éste vieren, tendrán respeto.
14 But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
14 Mas los labradores, viéndole, pensaron entre sí, diciendo: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle para que la heredad sea nuestra.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
15 Y echáronle fuera de la viña, y le mataron. ¿Qué pues, les hará el señor de la viña?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
16 Vendrá, y destruirá á estos labradores, y dará su viña á otros. Y como ellos lo oyeron, dijeron: ¡Dios nos libre!
17 And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
17 Mas él mirándolos, dice: ¿Qué pues es lo que está escrito: La piedra que condenaron los edificadores, ésta fué por cabeza de esquina?
18 Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
18 Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; mas sobre el que la piedra cayere, le desmenuzará.
19 Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
19 Y procuraban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas echarle mano en aquella hora, porque entendieron que contra ellos había dicho esta parábola: mas temieron al pueblo.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
20 Y acechándole enviaron espías que se simulasen justos, para sorprenderle en palabras, para que le entregasen al principado y á la potestad del presidente.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
21 Los cuales le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que dices y enseñas bien, y que no tienes respeto á persona; antes enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad.
22 Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
22 ¿Nos es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
23 But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
23 Mas él, entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?
24 Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
24 Mostradme la moneda. ¿De quién tiene la imagen y la inscripción? Y respondiendo dijeron: De César.
25 Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
25 Entonces les dijo: Pues dad á César lo que es de César; y lo que es de Dios, á Dios.
26 And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
26 Y no pudieron reprender sus palabras delante del pueblo: antes maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.
27 Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
27 Y llegándose unos de los Saduceos, los cuales niegan haber resurrección, le preguntaron,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
28 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés nos escribió: Si el hermano de alguno muriere teniendo mujer, y muriere sin hijos, que su hermano tome la mujer, y levante simiente á su hermano.
29 Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
29 Fueron, pues, siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió sin hijos.
30 And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
30 Y la tomó el segundo, el cual también murió sin hijos.
31 Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
31 Y la tomó el tercero: asimismo también todos siete: y murieron sin dejar prole.
32 And last of all the woman dyed also.
32 Y á la postre de todos murió también la mujer.
33 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
33 En la resurrección, pues, ¿mujer de cuál de ellos será? porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.
34 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married.
34 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Los hijos de este siglo se casan, y son dados en casamiento:
35 But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married.
35 Mas los que fueren tenidos por dignos de aquel siglo y de la resurrección de los muertos, ni se casan, ni son dados en casamiento:
36 For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
36 Porque no pueden ya más morir: porque son iguales á los ángeles, y son hijos de Dios, cuando son hijos de la resurrección.
37 And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
37 Y que los muertos hayan de resucitar, aun Moisés lo enseñó en el [pasaje de] la zarza, cuando llama al Señor: Dios de Abraham, y Dios de Isaac, y Dios de Jacob.
38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
38 Porque Dios no es [Dios] de muertos, mas de vivos: porque todos viven á él.
39 Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
39 Y respondiéndole unos de los escribas, dijeron: Maestro, bien has dicho.
40 And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
40 Y no osaron más preguntarle algo.
41 Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
41 Y él les dijo: ¿Cómo dicen que el Cristo es hijo de David?
42 And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
42 Y el mismo David dice en el libro de los Salmos: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra,
43 Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
43 Entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.
44 Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
44 Así que David le llama Señor: ¿cómo pues es su hijo?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,
45 Y oyéndole todo el pueblo, dijo á sus discípulos:
46 Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:
46 Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas, y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;
47 Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
47 Que devoran las casas de las viudas, poniendo por pretexto la larga oración: éstos recibirán mayor condenación.

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).
… complete this most blessed city would have been as great though no one had sinned, as it is now that the grace of God gathers its citizens out of the multitude of sinners, so long as the children of this world generate and are generated. And therefore that marriage, worthy of the happiness of Paradise, should have had desirable fruit …

But Enos means man in so restricted a sense, that Hebrew linguists tell us it cannot be applied to woman: it is the equivalent of the "child of the resurrection," when they neither marry nor are given in marriage. For there shall be no generation in that place to which regeneration shall have brought us.
