WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And it came to pass, on one of those days, as He is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came on [Him],
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;
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things? Or who is he that gave to You this authority?”
2 Y le hablaron, diciendo: Dinos: ¿con qué potestad haces estas cosas? ¿ó quién es el que te ha dado esta potestad?
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
3 Respondiendo entonces Jesús, les dijo: Os preguntaré yo también una palabra; respondedme:
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 the immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?”
4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres?
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why, then, did you not believe him?
5 Mas ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 And if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”
6 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, todo el pueblo nos apedreará: porque están ciertos que Juan era profeta.
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 And they answered that they did not know from where [it was],
7 Y respondieron que no sabían de dónde.
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 and Jesus said to them, “Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.”
8 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Ni yo os digo con qué potestad hago estas cosas.
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 And He began to speak to the people this allegory: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad for a long 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.
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
10 and at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they may give to him from the fruit of the vineyard, but the farmers having beat him, sent [him] away empty.
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.
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
11 And he added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
11 Y volvió á enviar otro siervo; mas ellos á éste también, herido y afrentado, le enviaron vacío.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast out.
12 Y volvió á enviar al tercer siervo; mas ellos también á éste echaron herido.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 And the owner of the vineyard said, What will I do? I will send my son, the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will respect [him];
13 Entonces el señor de la viña dijo: ¿Qué haré? Enviaré mi hijo amado: quizás cuando á éste vieren, tendrán respeto.
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
14 and having seen him, the farmers reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
14 Mas los labradores, viéndole, pensaron entre sí, diciendo: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle para que la heredad sea nuestra.
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
15 Y echáronle fuera de la viña, y le mataron. ¿Qué pues, les hará el señor de la viña?
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come, and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Let it not be!”
16 Vendrá, y destruirá á estos labradores, y dará su viña á otros. Y como ellos lo oyeron, dijeron: ¡Dios nos libre!
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
17 And He, having looked on them, said, “What, then, is this that has been written: A stone that the builders rejected—this became head of a 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?
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
18 Everyone who has fallen on that stone will be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.”
18 Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; mas sobre el que la piedra cayere, le desmenuzará.
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on Him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that He spoke this allegory 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.
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
20 And having watched [Him], they sent forth ones lying in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of His word, to deliver Him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
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.
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You say and teach correctly, and do not receive a person, but in truth teach the way of God.
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.
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
22 ¿Nos es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 And He, having perceived their craftiness, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me?
23 Mas él, entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 Show Me a denarius; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
24 Mostradme la moneda. ¿De quién tiene la imagen y la inscripción? Y respondiendo dijeron: De César.
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 and He said to them, “Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
25 Entonces les dijo: Pues dad á César lo que es de César; y lo que es de Dios, á Dios.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 and they were not able to take hold on His saying before the people, and having wondered at His answer, they were silent.
26 Y no pudieron reprender sus palabras delante del pueblo: antes maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned Him,
27 Y llegándose unos de los Saduceos, los cuales niegan haber resurrección, le preguntaron,
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us if anyone’s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless—that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to 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.
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
29 Fueron, pues, siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió sin hijos.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
30 Y la tomó el segundo, el cual también murió sin hijos.
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven—they left no children, and they died;
31 Y la tomó el tercero: asimismo también todos siete: y murieron sin dejar prole.
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 and last of all the woman also died:
32 Y á la postre de todos murió también la mujer.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
33 in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
33 En la resurrección, pues, ¿mujer de cuál de ellos será? porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
34 And Jesus answering said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
34 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Los hijos de este siglo se casan, y son dados en casamiento:
34 Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;
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:
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36 for neither are they able to die anymore—for they are like messengers—and they are sons of God, being sons 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.
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 And that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush, since he calls the LORD the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
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.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.”
38 Porque Dios no es [Dios] de muertos, mas de vivos: porque todos viven á él.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
39 Y respondiéndole unos de los escribas, dijeron: Maestro, bien has dicho.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 and they no longer dared question Him anything.
40 Y no osaron más preguntarle algo.
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is [the] son of David,
41 Y él les dijo: ¿Cómo dicen que el Cristo es hijo de David?
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 and David himself says in [the] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, || Sit on 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,
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
43 Entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 David, then, calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?”
44 Así que David le llama Señor: ¿cómo pues es su hijo?
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
45 Y oyéndole todo el pueblo, dijo á sus discípulos:
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 “Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are cherishing salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
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;
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 who devour the houses of the widows, and make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
47 Que devoran las casas de las viudas, poniendo por pretexto la larga oración: éstos recibirán mayor condenación.
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

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.
