Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Then hee entred into a shippe, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie.
1 ENTONCES entrando en el barco, pasó á la otra parte, y vino á su ciudad.
2 And loe, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, laid on a bed. And Iesus seeing their faith, saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good comfort: thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
2 Y he aquí le trajeron un paralítico, echado en una cama: y viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: Confía, hijo; tus pecados te son perdonados.
3 And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth.
3 Y he aquí, algunos de los escribas decían dentro de sí: Este blasfema.
4 But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts?
4 Y viendo Jesús sus pensamientos, dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis mal en vuestros corazones?
5 For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke?
5 Porque, ¿qué es más fácil, decir: Los pecados te son perdonados; ó decir: Levántate, y anda?
6 And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.
6 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice entonces al paralítico): Levántate, toma tu cama, y vete á tu casa.
7 And hee arose, and departed to his owne house.
7 Entonces él se levantó y se fué á su casa.
8 So when the multitude sawe it, they marueiled, and glorified God, which had giuen such authoritie to men.
8 Y las gentes, viéndolo, se maravillaron, y glorificaron á Dios, que había dado tal potestad á los hombres.
9 And as Iesus passed foorth from thence, hee sawe a man sitting at the custome, named Matthewe, and saide to him, Followe me. And he arose, and followed him.
9 Y pasando Jesús de allí, vió á un hombre que estaba sentado al banco de los públicos tributos, el cual se llamaba Mateo; y dícele: Sígueme. Y se levantó, y le siguió.
10 And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in his house, beholde, many Publicanes and sinners, that came thither, sate downe at the table with Iesus and his disciples.
10 Y aconteció que estando él sentado á la mesa en casa, he aquí que muchos publicanos y pecadores, que habían venido, se sentaron juntamente á la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos.
11 And when the Pharises sawe that, they saide to his disciples, Why eateth your master with Publicanes and sinners?
11 Y viendo esto los Fariseos, dijeron á sus discípulos: ¿Por qué come vuestro Maestro con los publicanos y pecadores?
12 Nowe when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole neede not a Physition, but they that are sicke.
12 Y oyéndolo [Jesús], les dijo: Los que están sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los enfermos.
13 But goe yee and learne what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.
13 Andad pues, y aprended qué cosa es: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio: porque no he venido á llamar justos, sino pecadores á arrepentimiento.
14 Then came the disciples of Iohn to him, saying, Why doe we and the Pharises fast oft, and thy disciples fast not?
14 Entonces los discípulos de Juan vienen á él, diciendo: ¿Por qué nosotros y los Fariseos ayunamos muchas veces, y tus discípulos no ayunan?
15 And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber mourne as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
15 Y Jesús les dijo: ¿Pueden los que son de bodas tener luto entre tanto que el esposo está con ellos? mas vendrán días cuando el esposo será quitado de ellos, y entonces ayunarán.
16 Moreouer no man pieceth an olde garment with a piece of newe cloth: for that that should fill it vp, taketh away from the garment, and the breach is worse.
16 Y nadie echa remiendo de paño recio en vestido viejo; porque el tal remiendo tira del vestido, y se hace peor la rotura.
17 Neither doe they put newe wine into olde vessels: for then the vessels would breake, and the wine woulde be spilt, and the vessels shoulde perish: but they put new wine into newe vessels, and so are both preserued.
17 Ni echan vino nuevo en cueros viejos: de otra manera los cueros se rompen, y el vino se derrama, y se pierden los cueros; mas echan el vino nuevo en cueros nuevos, y lo uno y lo otro se conserva juntamente.
18 While hee thus spake vnto them, beholde, there came a certaine ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is nowe deceased, but come and laie thine hande on her, and shee shall liue.
18 Hablando él estas cosas á ellos, he aquí vino un principal, y le adoraba, diciendo: Mi hija es muerta poco ha: mas ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá.
19 And Iesus arose and followed him with his disciples.
19 Y se levantó Jesús, y le siguió, y sus discípulos.
20 (And beholde, a woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeres, came behinde him, and touched the hemme of his garment.
20 Y he aquí una mujer enferma de flujo de sangre doce años había, llegándose por detrás, tocó la franja de su vestido:
21 For shee saide in her selfe, If I may touche but his garment onely, I shalbe whole.
21 Porque decía entre sí: Si tocare solamente su vestido, seré salva.
22 Then Iesus turned him about, and seeing her, did say, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole at that same moment.)
22 Mas Jesús volviéndose, y mirándola, dijo: Confía, hija, tu fe te ha salvado. Y la mujer fué salva desde aquella hora.
23 Nowe when Iesus came into the Rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making noise,
23 Y llegado Jesús á casa del principal, viendo los tañedores de flautas, y la gente que hacía bullicio,
24 He said vnto them, Get you hence: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne.
24 Díceles: Apartaos, que la muchacha no es muerta, mas duerme. Y se burlaban de él.
25 And when the multitude were put foorth, hee went in and tooke her by the hande, and the maide arose.
25 Y como la gente fué echada fuera, entró, y tomóla de la mano, y se levantó la muchacha.
26 And this bruite went throughout all that lande.
26 Y salió esta fama por toda aquella tierra.
27 And as Iesus departed thence, two blinde men followed him, crying, and saying, O sonne of Dauid, haue mercie vpon vs.
27 Y pasando Jesús de allí, le siguieron dos ciegos, dando voces y diciendo: Ten misericordia de nosotros, Hijo de David.
28 And when hee was come into the house, the blinde came to him, and Iesus saide vnto them, Beleeue yee that I am able to doe this? And they sayd vnto him, Yea, Lord.
28 Y llegado á la casa, vinieron á él los ciegos; y Jesús les dice: ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos dicen: Sí, Señor.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it vnto you.
29 Entonces tocó los ojos de ellos, diciendo: Conforme á vuestra fe os sea hecho.
30 And their eyes were opened, and Iesus gaue them great charge, saying, See that no man knowe it.
30 Y los ojos de ellos fueron abiertos. Y Jesús les encargó rigurosamente, diciendo: Mirad que nadie lo sepa.
31 But when they were departed, they spread abroad his fame throughout all that land.
31 Mas ellos salidos, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella tierra.
32 And as they went out, beholde, they brought to him a domme man possessed with a deuill.
32 Y saliendo ellos, he aquí, le trajeron un hombre mudo, endemoniado.
33 And when the deuill was cast out, the domme spake: then the multitude marueiled, saying, The like was neuer seene in Israel.
33 Y echado fuera el demonio, el mudo habló; y las gentes se maravillaron, diciendo: Nunca ha sido vista cosa semejante en Israel.
34 But the Pharises saide, He casteth out deuils, through the prince of deuils.
34 Mas los Fariseos decían: Por el príncipe de los demonios echa fuera los demonios.
35 And Iesus went about all cities and townes, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing euery sickenesse and euery disease among the people.
35 Y rodeaba Jesús por todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el evangelio del reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y todo achaque en el pueblo.
36 But when he saw the multitude, he had compassion vpon them, because they were dispersed, and scattered abroade, as sheepe hauing no shepheard.
36 Y viendo las gentes, tuvo compasión de ellas; porque estaban derramadas y esparcidas como ovejas que no tienen pastor.
37 Then saide he to his disciples, Surely the haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe.
37 Entonces dice á sus discípulos: A la verdad la mies es mucha, mas los obreros pocos.
38 Wherefore pray the Lord of the haruest, that he woulde sende foorth labourers into his haruest.
38 Rogad, pues, al Señor de la mies, que envíe obreros á su mies.

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).
By His own city here he means Capernaum. For that which gave Him birth was Bethlehem; that which brought Him up, Nazareth; that which had Him continually inhabiting it, Capernaum. This paralytic, however, was different from that one who is set forth in John.

For Christ called not the just nor the chaste to repentance, but the ungodly, and the licentious, and the unjust; His words being, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." For the heavenly Father desires rather the repentance than the punishment of the sinner.
And not merely in works, but also in faith, has God preserved the will of man free and under his own control, saying, "According to thy faith be it unto thee;" thus showing that there is a faith specially belonging to man, since he has an opinion specially his own.
… all things are become new;" and "because our salvation is nearer than when we believed;" and because "the night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and because Thou wilt crown Thy year with blessing, sending the labourers of Thy goodness into Thy harvest, in the sowing of which others have laboured, sending also into another field, whose harvest …

For He said not, what we find Him saying after this, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" because He had not as yet given proof of His power.
