1 And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
1 Y ACONTECIÓ después, que él caminaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, predicando y anunciando el evangelio del reino de Dios, y los doce con él,
2 and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
2 Y algunas mujeres que habían sido curadas de malos espíritus y de enfermedades: María, que se llamaba Magdalena, de la cual habían salido siete demonios,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
3 Y Juana, mujer de Chuza, procurador de Herodes, y Susana, y otras muchas que le servían de sus haciendas.
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
4 Y como se juntó una grande compañía, y los que estaban en cada ciudad vinieron á él, dijo por una parábola:
5 “The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
5 Uno que sembraba, salió á sembrar su simiente; y sembrando, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fué hollada; y las aves del cielo la comieron.
6 And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
6 Y otra parte cayó sobre la piedra; y nacida, se secó, porque no tenía humedad.
7 And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
7 Y otra parte cayó entre las espinas; y naciendo las espinas juntamente, la ahogaron.
8 And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
8 Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y cuando fué nacida, llevó fruto á ciento por uno. Diciendo estas cosas clamaba: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
9 And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
9 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo, qué era esta parábola.
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
10 Y él dijo: A vosotros es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; mas á los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan.
11 And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
11 Es pues ésta la parábola: La simiente es la palabra de Dios.
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
12 Y los de junto al camino, éstos son los que oyen; y luego viene el diablo, y quita la palabra de su corazón, porque no crean y se salven.
13 And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
13 Y los de sobre la piedra, [son] los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; mas éstos no tienen raíces; que á tiempo creen, y en el tiempo de la tentación se apartan.
14 And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
14 Y la que cayó entre las espinas, éstos son los que oyeron; mas yéndose, son ahogados de los cuidados y de las riquezas y de los pasatiempos de la vida, y no llevan fruto.
15 And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
15 Mas la que en buena tierra, éstos son los que con corazón bueno y recto retienen la palabra oída, y llevan fruto en paciencia.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
16 Ninguno que enciende la antorcha la cubre con vasija, ó la pone debajo de la cama; mas la pone en un candelero, para que los que entran vean la luz.
17 for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
17 Porque no hay cosa oculta, que no haya de ser manifestada; ni cosa escondida, que no haya de ser entendida, y de venir á luz.
18 See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
18 Mirad pues cómo oís; porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; y á cualquiera que no tuviere, aun lo que parece tener le será quitado.
19 And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
19 Y vinieron á él su madre y hermanos; y no podían llegar á él por causa de la multitud.
20 and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
20 Y le fué dado aviso, diciendo: Tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera, que quieren verte.
21 and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
21 El entonces respondiendo, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la ejecutan.
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
22 Y aconteció un día [que] él entró en un barco con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos á la otra parte del lago. Y partieron.
23 and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
23 Pero mientras ellos navegaban, él se durmió. Y sobrevino una tempestad de viento en el lago; y henchían [de agua], y peligraban.
24 And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
24 Y llegándose á él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Maestro, Maestro, que perecemos! Y despertado él, increpó al viento y á la tempestad del agua; y cesaron, y fué hecha bonanza.
25 and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
25 Y les dijo: ¿Qué es de vuestra fe? Y atemorizados, se maravillaban, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Quién es éste, que aun á los vientos y al agua manda, y le obedecen?
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
26 Y navegaron á la tierra de los Gadarenos, que está delante de Galilea.
27 and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
27 Y saliendo él á tierra, le vino al encuentro de la ciudad un hombre que tenía demonios [ya] de mucho tiempo; y no vestía vestido, ni estaba en casa, sino por los sepulcros.
28 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
28 El cual, como vió á Jesús, exclamó y se postró delante de él, y dijo á gran voz: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Ruégote que no me atormentes.
29 For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
29 (Porque mandaba al espíritu inmundo que saliese del hombre: porque [ya] de mucho tiempo le arrebataba; y le guardaban preso con cadenas y grillos; mas rompiendo las prisiones, era agitado del demonio por los desiertos.)
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
30 Y le preguntó Jesús, diciendo: ¿Qué nombre tienes? Y él dijo: Legión. Porque muchos demonios habían entrado en él.
31 and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss,
31 Y le rogaban que no les mandase ir al abismo.
32 and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
32 Y había allí un hato de muchos puercos que pacían en el monte; y le rogaron que los dejase entrar en ellos; y los dejó.
33 and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
33 Y salidos los demonios del hombre, entraron en los puercos; y el hato se arrojó de un despeñadero en el lago, y ahogóse.
34 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
34 Y los pastores, como vieron lo que había acontecido, huyeron, y yendo dieron aviso en la ciudad y por las heredades.
35 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
35 Y salieron á ver lo que había acontecido; y vinieron á Jesús, y hallaron sentado al hombre de quien habían salido los demonios, vestido, y en su juicio, á los pies de Jesús; y tuvieron miedo.
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
36 Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo había sido salvado aquel endemoniado.
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
37 Entonces toda la multitud de la tierra de los Gadarenos alrededor, le rogaron que se fuese de ellos; porque tenían gran temor. Y él, subiendo en el barco, volvióse.
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
38 Y aquel hombre, de quien habían salido los demonios, le rogó para estar con él; mas Jesús le despidió, diciendo:
39 “Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
39 Vuélvete á tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas ha hecho Dios contigo. Y él se fué, publicando por toda la ciudad cuán grandes cosas había hecho Jesús con él.
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
40 Y aconteció que volviendo Jesús, recibióle la gente; porque todos le esperaban.
41 and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
41 Y he aquí un varón, llamado Jairo, y que era príncipe de la sinagoga, vino, y cayendo á los pies de Jesús, le rogaba que entrase en su casa;
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
42 Porque tenía una hija única, como de doce años, y ella se estaba muriendo. Y yendo, le apretaba la compañía.
43 and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
43 Y una mujer, que tenía flujo de sangre hacía ya doce años, la cual había gastado en médicos toda su hacienda, y por ninguno había podido ser curada,
44 having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
44 Llegándose por las espaldas, tocó el borde de su vestido; y luego se estancó el flujo de su sangre.
45 And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
45 Entonces Jesús dijo: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado? Y negando todos, dijo Pedro y los que estaban con él: Maestro, la compañía te aprieta y oprime, y dices: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado?
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
46 Y Jesús dijo: Me ha tocado alguien; porque yo he conocido que ha salido virtud de mí.
47 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
47 Entonces, como la mujer vió que no se había ocultado, vino temblando, y postrándose delante de él declaróle delante de todo el pueblo la causa por qué le había tocado, y cómo luego había sido sana.
48 and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
48 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha salvado: ve en paz.
49 While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
49 Estando aún él hablando, vino uno del príncipe de la sinagoga á decirle: Tu hija es muerta, no des trabajo al Maestro.
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
50 Y oyéndolo Jesús, le respondió: No temas: cree solamente, y será salva.
51 And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
51 Y entrado en casa, no dejó entrar á nadie consigo, sino á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y al padre y á la madre de la moza.
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
52 Y lloraban todos, y la plañían. Y él dijo: No lloréis; no es muerta, sino que duerme.
53 and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
53 Y hacían burla de él, sabiendo que estaba muerta.
54 and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
54 Mas él, tomándola de la mano, clamó, diciendo: Muchacha, levántate.
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
55 Entonces su espíritu volvió, y se levantó luego: y él mandó que le diesen de comer.
56 and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
56 Y sus padres estaban atónitos; á los cuales él mandó, que á nadie dijesen lo que había sido hecho.

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).
The Lord also, as the fifth person, entered into the apartment of the dead maiden, and raised her up again; for, says [the Scripture], "He suffered no man to go in, save Peter and James, and the father and mother of the maiden." The rich man in hell declared that he had five brothers, to whom he desired that one …
May she therefore rest in peace with her husband, before or after whom she married none; whom she obeyed, with patience bringing forth fruit unto Thee, that she might gain him also for Thee.
