1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.
4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.
5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew [them].
6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.
7 But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.
11 ¶ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.
15 ¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?
21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.
22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.
23 ¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.
33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.
34 ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
35 Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions.]
46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.

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).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's." And again He answered them, "Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's." Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, …
To those, therefore, who are ignorant of these matters, and on this account imagine that they have discovered another Father, justly does one say, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
Can it at any time or place be an unrighteous thing for a man to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and his neighbour as himself?
