WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
1 Y COMO acabó todas sus palabras oyéndole el pueblo, entró en Capernaum.
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
2 Y el siervo de un centurión, al cual tenía él en estima, estaba enfermo y á punto de morir.
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
3 Y como oyó [hablar] de Jesús, envió á él los ancianos de los Judíos, rogándole que viniese y librase á su siervo.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
4 Y viniendo ellos á Jesús, rogáronle con diligencia, diciéndole: Porque es digno de concederle esto;
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
5 Que ama nuestra nación, y él nos edificó una sinagoga.
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
6 Y Jesús fué con ellos. Mas como ya no estuviesen lejos de su casa, envió el centurión amigos á él, diciéndole: Señor, no te incomodes, que no soy digno que entres debajo de mi tejado;
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
7 Por lo cual ni aun me tuve por digno de venir á ti; mas di la palabra, y mi siervo será sano.
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
8 Porque también yo soy hombre puesto en potestad, que tengo debajo de mí soldados; y digo á éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y á mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
9 Lo cual oyendo Jesús, se maravilló de él, y vuelto, dijo á las gentes que le seguían: Os digo [que] ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the ailing servant in good health.
10 Y vueltos á casa los que habían sido enviados, hallaron sano al siervo que había estado enfermo.
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. Many of His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
11 Y aconteció después, que él iba á la ciudad que se llama Naín, é iban con él muchos de sus discípulos, y gran compañía.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
12 Y como llegó cerca de la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí que sacaban fuera á un difunto, unigénito de su madre, la cual también era viuda: y había con ella grande compañía de la ciudad.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
13 Y como el Señor la vió, compadecióse de ella, y le dice: No llores.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
14 Y acercándose, tocó el féretro: y los que [lo] llevaban, pararon. Y dice: Mancebo, á ti digo, levántate.
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
15 Entonces se incorporó el que había muerto, y comenzó á hablar. Y dióle á su madre.
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
16 Y todos tuvieron miedo, y glorificaban á Dios, diciendo: Que un gran profeta se ha levantado entre nosotros; y que Dios ha visitado á su pueblo.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
17 Y salió esta fama de él por toda Judea, y por toda la tierra de alrededor.
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
18 Y sus discípulos dieron á Juan las nuevas de todas estas cosas: y llamó Juan á dos de sus discípulos,
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask Jesus, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
19 Y envió á Jesús, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
20 Y como los hombres vinieron á él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado á ti, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Now at that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
21 Y en la misma hora sanó á muchos de enfermedades y plagas, y de espíritus malos; y á muchos ciegos dió la vista.
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 So Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Id, dad las nuevas á Juan de lo que habéis visto y oído: que los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos son limpiados, los sordos oyen, los muertos resucitan, á los pobres es anunciado el evangelio:
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
23 Y bienaventurado es el que no fuere escandalizado en mí.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
24 Y como se fueron los mensajeros de Juan, comenzó á hablar de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es agitada por el viento?
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
25 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de vestidos delicados? He aquí, los que están en vestido precioso, y viven en delicias, en los palacios de los reyes están.
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
26 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? También os digo, y aun más que profeta.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
27 Este es de quien está escrito: He aquí, envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, el cual aparejará tu camino delante de ti.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 For I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater prophet than John the Baptist, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
28 Porque os digo que entre los nacidos de mujeres, no hay mayor profeta que Juan el Bautista: mas el más pequeño en el reino de los cielos es mayor que él.
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
29 Y todo el pueblo oyéndole, y los publicanos, justificaron á Dios, bautizándose con el bautismo de Juan.
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
30 Mas los Fariseos y los sabios de la ley, desecharon el consejo de Dios contra sí mismos, no siendo bautizados de él.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
31 Y dice el Señor: ¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y á qué son semejantes?
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge for you, and you did not weep.’
32 Semejantes son á los muchachos sentados en la plaza, y que dan voces los unos á los otros, y dicen: Os tañimos con flautas, y no bailasteis: os endechamos, y no llorasteis.
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que ni comía pan, ni bebía vino, y decís: Demonio tiene.
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
34 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores.
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
35 Mas la sabiduría es justificada de todos sus hijos.
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
36 Y le rogó uno de los Fariseos, que comiese con él. Y entrado en casa del Fariseo, sentóse á la mesa.
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
37 Y he aquí una mujer que había sido pecadora en la ciudad, como entendió que estaba á la mesa en casa de aquel Fariseo, trajo un alabastro de ungüento,
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
38 Y estando detrás á sus pies, comenzó llorando á regar con lágrimas sus pies, y los limpiaba con los cabellos de su cabeza; y besaba sus pies, y los ungía con el ungüento.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
39 Y como vió esto el Fariseo que le había convidado, habló entre sí, diciendo: Este, si fuera profeta, conocería quién y cuál es la mujer que le toca, que es pecadora.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
40 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Simón, una cosa tengo que decirte. Y él dice: Di, Maestro.
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
41 Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: el uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta;
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Tell Me, which one, then, will love him more?”
42 Y no teniendo ellos de qué pagar, perdonó á ambos. Di, pues, ¿cuál de éstos le amará más?
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
43 Y respondiendo Simón, dijo: Pienso que aquél al cual perdonó más. Y él le dijo: Rectamente has juzgado.
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
44 Y vuelto á la mujer, dijo á Simón: ¿Ves esta mujer? Entré en tu casa, no diste agua para mis pies; mas ésta ha regado mis pies con lágrimas, y los ha limpiado con los cabellos.
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
45 No me diste beso, mas ésta, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
46 No ungiste mi cabeza con óleo; mas ésta ha ungido con ungüento mis pies.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
47 Por lo cual te digo [que] sus muchos pecados son perdonados, porque amó mucho; mas al que se perdona poco, poco ama.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
48 Y á ella dijo: Los pecados te son perdonados.
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
49 Y los que estaban juntamente sentados á la mesa, comenzaron á decir entre sí: ¿Quién es éste, que también perdona pecados?
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
50 Y dijo á la mujer: Tu fe te ha salvado, ve en paz.
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

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 miracles of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ make indeed an impression on all who hear of, and believe them; but on different men in different ways.

They maintain that he is the centurion mentioned in the Gospel, who addressed the Saviour in these words: "For I also am one having soldiers and servants under my authority; and whatsoever I command they do." They further hold that he will continue administering the affairs of the world as long as that is fitting and needful, and specially that …
For this Master of humility both by word and example, sat down even in the house of a certain proud Pharisee, by name Simon; and though He sat down in his house, there was no place in this heart, "where the Son of Man could lay His Head."

But see by another thing also how Luke hath proclaimed his faith, saying that his servant "was ready to die." Nevertheless, not even this cast him into despondency, neither did it cause him to give up: but even so he trusted that he should prevail.

Her name, too, was indicated by the Saviour, when He said, "Yet wisdom is justified by her children." This, too, was done by Paul in these words, "But we speak wisdom among them that are perfect." They declare also that Paul has referred to the conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means of one; for, when writing of …
