1 Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
1 Y Á SUS discípulos dice: Imposible es que no vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquél por quien vienen!
2 It would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 Mejor le fuera, si le pusiesen al cuello una piedra de molino, y le lanzasen en el mar, que escandalizar á uno de estos pequeñitos.
3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
3 Mirad por vosotros: si pecare contra ti tu hermano, repréndele; y si se arrepintiere, perdónale.
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and returns seven times in that day to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
4 Y si siete veces al día pecare contra ti, y siete veces al día se volviere á ti, diciendo, pésame, perdónale.
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
5 Y dijeron los apóstoles al Señor: Auméntanos la fe.
6 And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
6 Entonces el Señor dijo: Si tuvieseis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis á este sicómoro: Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar; y os obedecerá.
7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
7 ¿Y quién de vosotros tiene un siervo que ara ó apacienta, que vuelto del campo le diga luego: Pasa, siéntate á la mesa?
8 Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?
8 ¿No le dice antes: Adereza qué cene, y arremángate, y sírveme hasta que haya comido y bebido; y después de esto, come tú y bebe?
9 Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told? I think not.
9 ¿Da gracias al siervo porque hizo lo que le había sido mandado? Pienso que no.
10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
10 Así también vosotros, cuando hubiereis hecho todo lo que os es mandado, decid: Siervos inútiles somos, porque lo que debíamos hacer, hicimos.
11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
11 Y aconteció que yendo él á Jerusalem, pasaba por medio de Samaria y de Galilea.
12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
12 Y entrando en una aldea, viniéronle al encuentro diez hombres leprosos, los cuales se pararon de lejos,
13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13 Y alzaron la voz, diciendo: Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros.
14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
14 Y como él los vió, les dijo: Id, mostraos á los sacerdotes. Y aconteció, que yendo ellos, fueron limpios.
15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
15 Entonces uno de ellos, como se vió que estaba limpio, volvió, glorificando á Dios á gran voz;
16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
16 Y derribóse sobre el rostro á sus pies, dándole gracias: y éste era Samaritano.
17 “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
17 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: ¿No son diez los que fueron limpios? ¿Y los nueve dónde están?
18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
18 ¿No hubo quien volviese y diese gloria á Dios sino este extranjero?
19 Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
19 Y díjole: Levántate, vete; tu fe te ha salvado.
20 When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
20 Y preguntado por los Fariseos, cuándo había de venir el reino de Dios, les respondió y dijo: El reino de Dios no vendrá con advertencia;
21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
21 Ni dirán: Helo aquí, ó helo allí: porque he aquí el reino de Dios entre vosotros está.
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
22 Y dijo á sus discípulos: Tiempo vendrá, cuando desearéis ver uno de los días del Hijo del hombre, y no lo veréis.
23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
23 Y os dirán: Helo aquí, ó helo allí. No vayáis, ni sigáis.
24 For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
24 Porque como el relámpago, relampagueando desde una parte de debajo del cielo, resplandece hasta la otra debajo del cielo, así también será el Hijo del hombre en su día.
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 Mas primero es necesario que padezca mucho, y sea reprobado de esta generación.
26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
26 Y como fué en los días de Noé, así también será en los días del Hijo del hombre.
27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
27 Comían, bebían, [los hombres] tomaban mujeres, y las mujeres maridos, hasta el día que entró Noé en el arca; y vino el diluvio, y destruyó á todos.
28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
28 Asimismo también como fué en los días de Lot; comían, bebían, compraban, vendían, plantaban, edificaban;
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
29 Mas el día que Lot salió de Sodoma, llovió del cielo fuego y azufre, y destruyó á todos:
30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
30 Como esto será el día en que el Hijo del hombre se manifestará.
31 On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
31 En aquel día, el que estuviere en el terrado, y sus alhajas en casa, no descienda á tomarlas: y el que en el campo, asimismo no vuelva atrás.
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
32 Acordaos de la mujer de Lot.
33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
33 Cualquiera que procurare salvar su vida, la perderá; y cualquiera que la perdiere, la salvará.
34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.
34 Os digo que en aquella noche estarán dos en una cama; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”
35 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo juntas: la una será tomada, y la otra dejada.
36 Not in this translation
36 Dos estarán en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro dejado.
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
37 Y respondiendo, le dicen: ¿Dónde, Señor? Y él les dijo: Donde [estuviere] el cuerpo, allá se juntarán también las águilas.

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 Holy Gospel which we heard just now as it was being read, has admonished touching the remission of sins. And on this subject must ye be admonished now by my discourse.

… shall those things be which thou hast prepared?" and similar to this, that of the rich man, who was clothed in purple and who fared sumptuously, and the indigent Lazarus; also the answer which He gave to His disciples when they said, "Increase our faith;" also His conversation with Zaccheus the publican; also about the Pharisee and the publican, who …
In that day, he which shall be upon the house-top, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife." Is it when our Lord shall have been revealed that men are to give heed to these sayings, and …

For in the same way, we too, when we have servants, do then most approve them when, after having performed all their service with good will, they do not think they have done anything great.

But if thou thinkest that thou really art faithful, but hast not yet the fulness of faith, thou too hast need to say like the Apostles, Lord, increase our faith: for some part thou hast of thyself, but the greater part thou receivest from Him.
