1 Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;
3 He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.
4 Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.
5 But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;
6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.
7 When he heard this, the king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.
8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.
9 Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.
10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.
13 Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.
15 Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.
16 They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.
17 So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
18 But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?
19 Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.
20 “Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?
21 “Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.
22 And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,
24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.
27 And last of all, the woman also died.
27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.
28 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.
29 Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.
30 In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels of God in heaven.
30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.
34 And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
37 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,
42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.
43 Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
45 So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?
46 No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.

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).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's." And again He answered them, "Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's." Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, …
To those, therefore, who are ignorant of these matters, and on this account imagine that they have discovered another Father, justly does one say, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
Can it at any time or place be an unrighteous thing for a man to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and his neighbour as himself?
