WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Un día, Jesús estaba enseñando a la gente en el templo. Mientras les enseñaba las buenas noticias, se le acercaron los jefes de los sacerdotes, los maestros de la ley y los ancianos para hacerle esta pregunta:
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 —¿Dinos quién te ha dado autoridad para hacer esto?
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Él les respondió: —Yo también les voy a hacer una pregunta. Contéstenme:
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Juan, ¿bautizaba con autoridad del cielo o de la tierra?
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Ellos comenzaron a discutir entre sí: «Si decimos que “del cielo”, él nos preguntará por qué no le creímos.
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 Y si decimos que “de la tierra”, todo el pueblo nos apedreará, porque están seguros de que Juan era un profeta».
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Entonces le respondieron: ―No sabemos.
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Él les dijo: ―Pues yo tampoco les voy a decir con qué autoridad hago esto.
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Después le contó a la gente esta parábola: ―Un hombre plantó un viñedo, lo alquiló a unos labradores y luego se fue de viaje por largo tiempo.
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Cuando llegó el tiempo de la cosecha, mandó a un sirviente para que los labradores le dieran como pago parte de la cosecha. Pero los labradores lo golpearon y lo enviaron con las manos vacías.
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
11 Luego envió a otro sirviente, pero también a este lo golpearon, lo humillaron y lo enviaron con las manos vacías.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Entonces envió por tercera vez a un sirviente, y a este también lo hirieron y lo echaron fuera.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 »Así que el dueño del viñedo pensó: “¿Qué haré? Enviaré a mi hijo, al que tanto amo. Estoy seguro de que a él sí lo respetarán”.
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
14 »Pero cuando los labradores lo vieron, se dijeron unos a otros: “Este es el que heredará todo esto. Vamos a matarlo y la herencia será nuestra”.
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Así que lo echaron fuera del viñedo y lo mataron. ¿Qué piensan ustedes que les hará el dueño?
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Regresará, matará a esos labradores y dará el viñedo a otros». La gente oyó esto y dijo: ―¡Qué Dios no lo permita!
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
17 Jesús los miró y les dijo: ―Entonces, si está escrito: “La piedra que los constructores despreciaron, se ha convertido en la piedra más importante”, ¿qué quiere decir eso?
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
18 »El que caiga sobre esa piedra se hará pedazos; y si la piedra cae sobre alguien, lo hará polvo».
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Los maestros de la ley y los jefes de los sacerdotes se dieron cuenta de que la parábola se refería a ellos. Por eso querían arrestarlo en ese mismo momento, pero le tenían miedo a la gente.
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Entonces enviaron espías que se hacían pasar por gente honrada para vigilarlo. Querían atrapar a Jesús cuando dijera algo que les diera la oportunidad de entregarlo al gobernador romano.
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Los espías le dijeron: ―Maestro, sabemos que dices y enseñas lo que es correcto. Que no te dejas llevar por las apariencias, sino que de verdad enseñas el camino de Dios.
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Dinos: ¿Está bien que paguemos impuestos al gobierno romano o no?
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Pero Jesús se dio cuenta de sus malas intenciones y les dijo:
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 ―Muéstrenme una moneda romana. ¿De quién es la imagen y el nombre que tiene escrito? Le contestaron: ―Del césar.
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Él les dijo: ―Pues denle al césar lo que es del césar y a Dios lo que es de Dios.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Y así no encontraron oportunidad para atraparlo en nada de lo que él decía frente a la gente. Por eso, sorprendidos de su respuesta, se callaron.
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Después, algunos saduceos se acercaron a Jesús. Ellos no creían que hubiera resurrección, y por esa razón le hicieron esta pregunta:
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 ―Maestro, Moisés dice en sus escritos que si un hombre muere sin haber tenido hijos con su esposa, el hermano de ese hombre tiene que casarse con la viuda, para darle hijos a su hermano muerto.
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 Pues bien, había siete hermanos. El primero se casó y murió sin tener hijos.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Después el segundo
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 y el tercero se casaron con la misma mujer, luego el resto de los siete hermanos. Cada uno murió sin tener hijos.
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Por último, también la mujer murió.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
33 Cuando ocurra la resurrección, ¿de cuál de ellos será esposa esta mujer si estuvo casada con los siete?
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
34 Jesús les contestó: —En este mundo la gente se casa,
34 Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 pero los que merecen resucitar en el mundo que viene, esos no se casarán,
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36 ni tampoco morirán. Serán como los ángeles, y serán hijos de Dios porque toman parte en la resurrección.
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Hasta Moisés mismo nos deja ver que los muertos resucitan. Lo dijo en el pasaje sobre la zarza, pues llama al Señor “el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob”.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Y Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos, pues para él todos ellos viven.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Algunos de los maestros de la ley le dijeron: ―¡Muy buena respuesta, Maestro!
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Y ya no se atrevieron a hacerle más preguntas.
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Entonces fue Jesús quien les preguntó: ―¿Por qué dicen que el Cristo es el Hijo de David?
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 David mismo dice esto en el libro de los Salmos: »“El Señor le dijo a mi Señor: ‘Siéntate a mi derecha,
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies’ ”.
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 »Si al Cristo David lo llama “Señor”, ¿cómo puede entonces ser su hijo?»
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Mientras toda la gente lo escuchaba, Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos:
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 ―Cuídense de los maestros de la ley. A ellos les gusta pasearse con ropas lujosas y que los saluden en las plazas. Les encanta ocupar los primeros puestos en la sinagoga y los mejores lugares en los banquetes.
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 »Ellos les quitan sus casas a las viudas y a la vez hacen largas oraciones para impresionar a los demás. El castigo para ellos será peor».
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

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. Quotes verse 20:34 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 20–22)

    … complete this most blessed city would have been as great though no one had sinned, as it is now that the grace of God gathers its citizens out of the multitude of sinners, so long as the children of this world generate and are generated. And therefore that marriage, worthy of the happiness of Paradise, should have had desirable fruit …

  2. Quotes verse 20:17 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXVIII)

    The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner; and every one that falleth upon it shall be broken." But Matthew, that they themselves delivered the sentence.

  3. Quotes verse 20:35 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 17–19)

    But Enos means man in so restricted a sense, that Hebrew linguists tell us it cannot be applied to woman: it is the equivalent of the "child of the resurrection," when they neither marry nor are given in marriage. For there shall be no generation in that place to which regeneration shall have brought us.

  4. Quotes verse 20:36 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXX)

    "For in the resurrection," saith He, "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in Heaven." But Luke saith, "As Sons of God." If then they marry not, the question is vain.
