RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, He removed from Galilee, and came to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan,

1 Y ACONTECIÓ que acabando Jesús estas palabras, se pasó de Galilea, y vino á los términos de Judea, pasado el Jordán.

2 and great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

2 Y le siguieron muchas gentes, y los sanó allí.

3 And the Pharisees came near to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?”

3 Entonces se llegaron á él los Fariseos, tentándole, y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al hombre repudiar á su mujer por cualquiera causa?

4 And He answering said to them, “Did you not read that He who made [them] from the beginning, made them a male and a female,

4 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que [los] hizo al principio, macho y hembra los hizo,

5 and said, For this cause will a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh?

5 Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?

6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate.”

6 Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no [lo] aparte el hombre.

7 They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put her away?”

7 Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?

8 He says to them, “Moses for your stiffness of heart permitted you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

8 Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.

9 And I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, commits adultery; and he who married her that has been put away, commits adultery.”

9 Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.

10 His disciples say to Him, “If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.”

10 Dícenle sus discípulos: Si así es la condición del hombre con su mujer, no conviene casarse.

11 And He said to them, “All do not receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;

11 Entonces él les dijo: No todos reciben esta palabra, sino aquellos á quienes es dado.

12 for there are eunuchs who from the mother’s womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it]—let him receive.”

12 Porque hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre; y hay eunucos, que son hechos eunucos por los hombres; y hay eunucos que se hicieron á sí mismos eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos; el que pueda ser capaz de eso, séalo.

13 Then were brought near to Him children that He might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.

13 Entonces le fueron presentados unos niños, para que pusiese las manos sobre ellos, y orase; y los discípulos les riñeron.

14 But Jesus said, “Permit the children, and do not forbid them to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens”;

14 Y Jesús dijo: Dejad á los niños, y no les impidáis de venir á mí; porque de los tales es el reino de los cielos.

15 and having laid [His] hands on them, He departed from there.

15 Y habiendo puesto sobre ellos las manos, se partió de allí.

16 And behold, one having come near, said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing will I do that I may have continuous life?”

16 Y he aquí, uno llegándose le dijo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué bien haré para tener la vida eterna?

17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God; but if you will to enter into life, keep the commands.”

17 Y él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno [es] bueno sino uno, [es á saber], Dios: y si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos.

18 He says to Him, “What kind?” And Jesus said, “You will not murder, You will not commit adultery, You will not steal, You will not bear false witness,

18 Dícele: ¿Cuáles? Y Jesús dijo: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio:

19 Honor your father and mother, and, You will love your neighbor as yourself.”

19 Honra á tu padre y á tu madre: y, Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

20 The young man says to Him, “All these I kept from my youth; what yet do I lack?”

20 Dícele el mancebo: Todo esto guardé desde mi juventud: ¿qué más me falta?

21 Jesus said to him, “If you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me.”

21 Dícele Jesús: Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes, y da[lo] á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.

22 And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions;

22 Y oyendo el mancebo esta palabra, se fué triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.

23 and Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you that hardly will a rich man enter into the kingdom of the heavens;

23 Entonces Jesús dijo á sus discípulos: De cierto os digo, que un rico difícilmente entrará en el reino de los cielos.

24 and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

24 Mas os digo, que más liviano trabajo es pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.

25 And His disciples having heard, were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who, then, is able to be saved?”

25 Mas sus discípulos, oyendo [estas cosas], se espantaron en gran manera, diciendo: ¿Quién pues podrá ser salvo?

26 And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

26 Y mirándo[los] Jesús, les dijo: Para con los hombres imposible es esto; mas para con Dios todo es posible.

27 Then Peter answering said to Him, “Behold, we left all, and followed You, what then will we have?”

27 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado todo, y te hemos seguido: ¿qué pues tendremos?

28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that you who followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit on a throne of His glory, will sit—you also—on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

28 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo, que vosotros que me habéis seguido, en la regeneración, cuando se sentará el Hijo del hombre en el trono de su gloria, vosotros también os sentaréis sobre doce tronos, para juzgar á las doce tribus de Israel.

29 and everyone who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for My Name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit continuous life;

29 Y cualquiera que dejare casas, ó hermanos, ó hermanas, ó padre, ó madre, ó mujer, ó hijos, ó tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces tanto, y heredará la vida eterna.

30 and many first will be last, and last first.”

30 Mas muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros primeros.

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).

Commentary 19:28 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XIX)
We heard in the Gospel that the Lord, rejoicing greatly in Spirit, said unto God the Father, "I confess to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

Commentary 19:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXII)
Having constantly left Judæa on account of the envy of those men, now He frequents it from this time forth, because the passion was to be nigh at hand; He goeth not up, however, unto Jerusalem for a while, but "into the coasts of Judæa."

For this reason did the Lord declare that the first should in truth be last, and the last first.
