PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Mientras, se habían juntado miles de personas, tantas que se atropellaban unas a otras. Jesús comenzó a hablar y les dijo primero a sus discípulos: «Cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos, o sea, de su hipocresía.
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1 Ἐν οἷς ἐπισυναχθεισῶν τῶν μυριάδων τοῦ ὄχλου ὡς καταπατεῖν ἀλλήλους, ἤρξατο λέγειν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ πρῶτον· προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων, ἥτις ἐστὶν ὑπόκρισις.
2 Porque no hay nada encubierto que no llegue a descubrirse, ni nada escondido que no llegue a conocerse.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
2 οὐδὲν δὲ συγκεκαλυμμένον ἐστὶν ὃ οὐκ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται, καὶ κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται·
3 Lo que ustedes hayan dicho en la oscuridad se conocerá a plena luz, y lo que hayan dicho en secreto, a puerta cerrada, se publicará desde las azoteas.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
3 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ὅσα ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ εἴπατε, ἐν τῷ φωτὶ ἀκουσθήσεται, καὶ ὃ πρὸς τὸ οὖς ἐλαλήσατε ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, κηρυχθήσεται ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων.
4 »A ustedes, mis amigos, les digo que no tengan miedo de los que matan el cuerpo, porque eso es todo lo que les pueden hacer.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4 Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν τοῖς φίλοις μου· μὴ φοβηθῆτε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποκτεννόντων τὸ σῶμα, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα μὴ ἐχόντων περισσότερόν τι ποιῆσαι.
5 Les diré a quién deben de temer: teman al que, después de quitar la vida, tiene poder para echarlos al infierno. A él sí que le deben temer.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
5 ὑποδείξω δὲ ὑμῖν τίνα φοβηθῆτε· φοβήθητε τὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀποκτεῖναι ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν· ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, τοῦτον φοβήθητε.
6 ¿No se venden cinco pajarillos por dos moneditas? Sin embargo, Dios no se olvida de ninguno de ellos.
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
6 οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλεῖται ἀσσαρίων δύο; καὶ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ·
7 Así pasa con ustedes: hasta los cabellos de su cabeza están contados. No tengan miedo, pues ustedes valen más que muchos pajarillos.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
7 ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται. μὴ οὖν φοβεῖσθε· πολλῶν στρουθίων διαφέρετε.
8 »Les aseguro que al que me reconozca públicamente, lo reconoceré en la presencia de los ángeles de Dios.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
8 Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν· πᾶς ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁμολογήσει ἐν αὐτῷ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ·
9 Pero negaré delante de los ángeles a aquellos que me nieguen delante de la gente.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
9 ὁ δὲ ἀρνησάμενός με ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρνηθήσεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ.
10 Cualquiera que diga algo contra el Hijo del hombre será perdonado, pero el que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo no será perdonado.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
10 καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐρεῖ λόγον εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ· τῷ δὲ εἰς τὸ Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα βλασφημήσαντι οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται.
11 »Cuando los lleven a las sinagogas y ante los gobernantes y las autoridades, no se preocupen por lo que tengan que decir o de cómo vayan a defenderse,
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
11 ὅταν δὲ προσφέρωσιν ὑμᾶς ἐπὶ τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε πῶς ἢ τί ἀπολογήσησθε ἢ τί εἴπητε·
12 porque el Espíritu Santo les enseñará en ese momento lo que deben decir».
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
12 τὸ γὰρ Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα διδάξει ὑμᾶς ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἃ δεῖ εἰπεῖν.
13 Uno de entre la gente le dijo: ―Maestro, dile a mi hermano que comparta la herencia conmigo.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
13 Εἶπε δέ τις αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου· διδάσκαλε, εἰπὲ τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου μερίσασθαι τὴν κληρονομίαν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
14 Jesús le respondió: ―Hombre, ¿quién me ha puesto a mí de juez o árbitro entre ustedes?
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
14 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἄνθρωπε, τίς με κατέστησε δικαστὴν ἢ μεριστὴν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς;
15 Y le dijo a la gente: ―Tengan cuidado y dejen toda avaricia. La vida de una persona no depende de las muchas cosas que posea.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
15 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· ὁρᾶτε καὶ φυλάσσεσθε ἀπὸ πάσης πλεονεξίας· ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ περισσεύειν τινὶ ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ.
16 Entonces les contó esta parábola: ―Un hombre rico tenía un terreno que le había producido muy buena cosecha.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
16 Εἶπε δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων· ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα·
17 Y se puso a pensar: “¿Qué haré? No tengo dónde guardar mi cosecha”.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
17 καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων· τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου;
18 Después de pensarlo dijo: “Ya sé lo que haré. Derribaré mis graneros y construiré unos más grandes, donde pueda guardar toda mi cosecha y mis bienes.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
18 καὶ εἶπε· τοῦτο ποιήσω· καθελῶ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω, καὶ συνάξω ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ γενήματά μου καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου,
19 Entonces diré: Alma mía, ya tienes muchas cosas buenas guardadas para muchos años. Descansa, come, bebe y disfruta de la vida”.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
19 καὶ ἐρῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου· ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά· ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου.
20 Pero Dios le dijo: “¡Necio! Esta misma noche perderás la vida. ¿Y quién disfrutará de todo lo que has guardado?”.
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
20 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· ἄφρον, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ· ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας τίνι ἔσται;
21 »Así le sucede al que acumula riquezas para sí mismo, pero no es rico delante de Dios».
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
21 οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων ἑαυτῷ, καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν.
22 Después Jesús les aconsejó a sus discípulos: ―Por eso les digo: No se preocupen por su vida, qué van a comer; ni por su cuerpo, con qué se van a vestir.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
22 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί φάγητε, μηδὲ τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν τί ἐνδύσησθε.
23 La vida tiene más valor que la comida y el cuerpo más que la ropa.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
23 οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος;
24 Miren a los cuervos, que no siembran ni cosechan ni tienen almacén ni granero y sin embargo, Dios los alimenta. ¡Ustedes valen mucho más que las aves!
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
24 κατανοήσατε τοὺς κόρακας, ὅτι οὐ σπείρουσιν οὐδὲ θερίζουσιν, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς τρέφει αὐτούς· πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμεῖς διαφέρετε τῶν πετεινῶν;
25 ¿Quién de ustedes, por mucho que se afane, puede alargar su vida una hora más?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
25 τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν μεριμνῶν δύναται προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλικίαν αὐτοῦ πῆχυν ἕνα;
26 Si no pueden hacer esto tan sencillo, ¿por qué se preocupan por lo demás?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
26 εἰ οὖν οὔτε ἐλάχιστον δύνασθε, τί περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν μεριμνᾶτε;
27 »Fíjense cómo crecen los lirios, que no trabajan ni hilan. Y yo les digo que ni siquiera Salomón con toda su riqueza se vistió como uno de ellos.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27 κατανοήσατε τὰ κρίνα πῶς αὐξάνει· οὐ κοπιᾷ οὐδὲ νήθει· λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων.
28 Si Dios viste así a las flores que hoy están aquí y mañana las queman en el horno, ¡cómo no hará más por ustedes, gente de poca fe!
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
28 εἰ δὲ τὸν χόρτον τοῦ ἀγροῦ, σήμερον ὄντα καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ Θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέννυσι, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι;
29 Y no se preocupen por qué van a comer o a beber; no se angustien.
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
29 καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ ζητεῖτε τί φάγητε καὶ τί πίητε, καὶ μὴ μετεωρίζεσθε·
30 La gente que no conoce a Dios se preocupa por estas cosas, pero el Padre sabe que ustedes las necesitan.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
30 ταῦτα γὰρ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τοῦ κόσμου ἐπιζητεῖ· ὑμῶν δὲ ὁ πατὴρ οἶδεν ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων·
31 Ustedes busquen, antes que nada, el reino de Dios, y recibirán también estas cosas.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
31 πλὴν ζητεῖτε τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα [πάντα] προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν.
32 »No tengan miedo, mi pequeño rebaño, porque el Padre de ustedes, en su bondad, quiere darles el reino.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
32 Μὴ φοβοῦ τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον· ὅτι εὐδόκησεν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν βασιλείαν.
33 Vendan lo que tienen, y den a los pobres. Hagan para ustedes bolsas que no se desgasten; guarden en el cielo un tesoro que no se acabe. Allí no hay ladrón que robe ni polilla que destruya.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
33 πωλήσατε τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ὑμῶν καὶ δότε ἐλεημοσύνην. ποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς βαλλάντια μὴ παλαιούμενα, θησαυρὸν ἀνέκλειπτον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ὅπου κλέπτης οὐκ ἐγγίζει οὐδὲ σὴς διαφθείρει·
34 Donde ustedes tengan su tesoro, allí tendrán también su corazón.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34 ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν ἔσται.
35 »Estén siempre listos, con la ropa bien ajustada y la lámpara encendida,
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
35 Ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι·
36 como los sirvientes que esperan a que su señor regrese de un banquete de bodas, para abrirle la puerta en el momento en que él llegue y toque.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
36 καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις τὸν κύριον ἑαυτῶν, πότε ἀναλύσει ἐκ τῶν γάμων, ἵνα ἐλθόντος καὶ κρούσαντος εὐθέως ἀνοίξωσιν αὐτῷ.
37 Dichosos los sirvientes a los que su señor encuentre atentos a su llegada. Les aseguro que se ajustará la ropa, hará que los sirvientes se sienten a la mesa y él mismo se pondrá a servirles.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
37 μακάριοι οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι, οὓς ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος εὑρήσει γρηγοροῦντας. ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι περιζώσεται καὶ ἀνακλινεῖ αὐτούς, καὶ παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς.
38 Dichosos los sirvientes a los que su señor encuentre preparados sin importar si llega a la media noche o de madrugada.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
38 καὶ ἐὰν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ φυλακῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ φυλακῇ ἔλθῃ καὶ εὕρῃ οὕτω, μακάριοί εἰσιν οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι.
39 Dense cuenta de esto: Si el dueño de una casa supiera la hora a la que va a llegar el ladrón, estaría atento para no dejarlo entrar.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
39 τοῦτο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἀφῆκε διορυγῆναι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
40 Así ustedes estén siempre preparados, porque el Hijo del hombre vendrá cuando menos lo esperen».
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
40 καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι· ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
41 Pedro le preguntó: ―Señor, ¿a quién le cuentas esta parábola?, ¿sólo a nosotros o también a todos los demás?
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
41 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος· Κύριε, πρὸς ἡμᾶς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγεις ἢ καὶ πρὸς πάντας;
42 El Señor le respondió: ―¿Quién es el mayordomo fiel y atento al que su señor deja encargado de los otros sirvientes para darles la comida a tiempo?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
42 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος καὶ φρόνιμος, ὃν καταστήσει ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ τοῦ διδόναι ἐν καιρῷ τὸ σιτομέτριον;
43 Dichoso el sirviente al que su señor, al regresar, encuentra cumpliendo con su deber.
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
43 μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος, ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει οὕτω ποιοῦντα.
44 Les aseguro que lo pondrá a cargo de todos sus bienes.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
44 ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.
45 Pero si el sirviente piensa: “Mi señor va a tardar en volver”, y comienza a golpear a los criados y a las criadas, y a comer y a beber y a emborracharse, se verá en serios problemas.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
45 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἔρχεσθαι, καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς παῖδας καὶ τὰς παιδίσκας, ἐσθίειν τε καὶ πίνειν καὶ μεθύσκεσθαι,
46 Cuando vuelva su señor, el día y a la hora que el sirviente menos se lo espera, lo castigará con un castigo tan grande como el que se les da a los incrédulos.
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
46 ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει, καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων θήσει.
47 »El sirviente que sabe lo que quiere su señor y no se prepara para hacerlo, recibirá muchos golpes.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
47 ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὁ δοῦλος, ὁ γνοὺς τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἑτοιμάσας μηδὲ ποιήσας πρὸς τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, δαρήσεται πολλάς·
48 Pero el que no lo sabe y hace algo que merezca castigo, recibirá pocos golpes. A todo el que se le da mucho, también mucho se le exigirá; y al que mucho se le confía mucho más se le pedirá.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
48 ὁ δὲ μὴ γνούς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. παντὶ δὲ ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν.
49 »He venido a traer fuego a la tierra, y ¡cómo quisiera que ya estuviera ardiendo!
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
49 Πῦρ ἦλθον βαλεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη ἀνήφθη!
50 Pero todavía tengo que pasar por la prueba de un bautismo, y ¡cuánto sufro hasta que se cumpla!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
50 βάπτισμα δὲ ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ πῶς συνέχομαι ἕως οὗ τελεσθῇ!
51 ¿Creen ustedes que vine a traer paz a la tierra? ¡No! Vine a traer división.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
51 δοκεῖτε ὅτι εἰρήνην παρεγενόμην δοῦναι ἐν τῇ γῇ; οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἢ διαμερισμόν.
52 De ahora en adelante estarán divididos cinco en una familia, tres contra dos, y dos contra tres.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52 ἔσονται γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν πέντε ἐν οἴκῳ ἑνὶ διαμεμερισμένοι, τρεῖς ἐπὶ δυσὶ καὶ δύο ἐπὶ τρισί·
53 Estarán divididos el padre contra su hijo y el hijo contra su padre, la madre contra su hija y la hija contra su madre, la suegra contra su nuera y la nuera contra su suegra».
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
53 διαμερισθήσονται πατὴρ ἐπὶ υἱῷ καὶ υἱὸς ἐπὶ πατρί, μήτηρ ἐπὶ θυγατρὶ καὶ θυγάτηρ ἐπὶ μητρί, πενθερὰ ἐπὶ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς καὶ νύμφη ἐπὶ τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς.
54 Luego Jesús le dijo a la gente: ―Cuando ustedes ven una nube que se forma en el occidente, dicen: “Va a llover”; y así sucede.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
54 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις· ὅταν ἴδητε τὴν νεφέλην ἀνατέλλουσαν ἀπὸ δυσμῶν, εὐθέως λέγετε, ὄμβρος ἔρχεται, καὶ γίνεται οὕτω·
55 Y cuando sopla el viento del sur, dicen: “Va a hacer calor”; y así sucede.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
55 καὶ ὅταν νότον πνέοντα, λέγετε ὅτι καύσων ἔσται, καὶ γίνεται.
56 ¡Hipócritas! Saben interpretar el aspecto del cielo y de la tierra, pero no saben interpretar este tiempo presente.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
56 ὑποκριταί, τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς οἴδατε δοκιμάζειν, τὸν δὲ καιρὸν τοῦτον πῶς οὐ δοκιμάζετε;
57 »¿Por qué no juzgan por ustedes mismos lo que es correcto?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
57 τί δὲ καὶ ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν οὐ κρίνετε τὸ δίκαιον;
58 Si tienes que ir ante la autoridad con alguien que te ha acusado, trata de reconciliarte con él mientras van en camino. Hazlo antes que te lleve por la fuerza ante el juez, y el juez te entregue al guardia, y el guardia te meta en la cárcel.
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
58 ὡς γὰρ ὑπάγεις μετὰ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου σου ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντα, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ δὸς ἐργασίαν ἀπηλλάχθαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, μήποτε κατασύρῃ σε πρὸς τὸν κριτήν, καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδῷ τῷ πράκτορι, καὶ ὁ πράκτωρ σε βαλεῖ εἰς φυλακήν.
59 Te aseguro que no saldrás de allí hasta que pagues el último centavo».
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
59 λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἕως οὗ καὶ τὸ ἔσχατον λεπτὸν ἀποδῷς.

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).

  1. Commentary 12:15 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LVII)

    I doubt not but that ye who fear God, do hear His word with awe, and execute it with cheerfulness; that what He hath promised, ye may at present hope for, hereafter receive. We have just now heard the Lord Christ Jesus, the Son of God, giving us a precept.

  2. Quotes verse 12:50 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XX–XXI)

  3. Quotes verse 12:4 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Chapters 11–13)

    If this be so, then that is false which Christ says, "Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do;" for it seems they can do great injury to the dead body.

  4. Quotes verse 12:47 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXVI)

    "For mighty" men (it is said) "shall be mightily tormented:" and "He that knew his Lord's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." So that more knowledge is a ground of more punishment.

  5. Quotes verse 12:28 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VI)

    And he who says again that the Father is one, and the maker of the world another, opposes the Son when He says, If then God so clothes the grass of the field which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace of fire; and, Who maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, …
