1 Entonces Jesús comenzó a hablarles en parábolas: «Un hombre plantó un viñedo. Puso un cerco alrededor de él, cavó un lagar y construyó una torre para vigilarlo. Luego alquiló el viñedo a unos labradores y se fue de viaje.
1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 »Cuando llegó el tiempo de la cosecha, mandó a uno de sus criados para que los labradores le pagaran con la parte de la cosecha que habían convenido.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Pero los labradores lo agarraron, lo golpearon y lo enviaron con las manos vacías.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 »Él entonces envió a otro de sus criados; y a este lo hirieron en la cabeza y lo humillaron.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 »Mandó a otro y también lo mataron. Luego mandó a muchos más; y a unos los golpearon y a otros los mataron.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Ya sólo le quedaba enviar a uno, a su hijo amado. Por fin lo mandó a él, pensando que como era su hijo sí lo iban a respetar.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 Pero los labradores se dijeron unos a otros: “Este es el heredero. Vamos, matémoslo y la herencia será nuestra”.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Dicho y hecho: lo agarraron, lo mataron y arrojaron su cadáver fuera del viñedo.
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 »¿Qué creen que hará el dueño? Volverá, matará a aquellos labradores y arrendará el viñedo a otros.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 »¿No han leído ustedes la Escritura que dice: “La piedra que los constructores desecharon ahora es la piedra principal.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11 El Señor lo hizo y es una maravilla ante nuestros ojos”?».
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 Los sacerdotes, maestros de la ley y ancianos que escuchaban se dieron cuenta de que la parábola iba dirigida contra ellos y entonces quisieron arrestarlo. Pero como temían a la multitud, lo dejaron y se fueron.
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
13 Enviaron luego a algunos de los fariseos y de los herodianos para hacer caer a Jesús en una trampa con sus mismas palabras.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
14 Apenas llegaron, le dijeron: ―Maestro, sabemos que eres un hombre intachable y no te dejas llevar por lo que dicen los demás, porque no te fijas en las apariencias. Tú de verdad enseñas el camino de Dios. ¿Está bien que paguemos impuestos al césar, o no?
14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Pero Jesús, conociendo su hipocresía, les replicó: ―¿Por qué me tienden trampas? Tráiganme una de las monedas con que se paga ese impuesto, para que la vea.
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
16 Ellos le llevaron la moneda; y mirándola, señalándola, Jesús les preguntó: —¿De quién es esta imagen y esta inscripción? ―Del césar —contestaron ellos.
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17 Él les dijo: —Pues denle al césar lo que es del césar; y a Dios, lo que es de Dios. Esa respuesta los llenó de admiración.
17 Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
18 Luego los saduceos, los que sostienen que no hay resurrección, fueron a ver a Jesús y le plantearon esta dificultad:
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 ―Maestro, Moisés nos enseñó por medio de sus escritos que si un hombre muere y deja a su esposa sin haber tenido hijos, el hermano de ese hombre debe casarse con la viuda para que a su hermano le quede descendencia.
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
20 Pues bien, había siete hermanos. El primero se casó, pero murió sin dejar hijos.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 El segundo se casó con la viuda, pero también él murió sin dejar descendencia; lo mismo le pasó al tercero
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22 y así sucesivamente a los otros cuatro. Los siete hermanos murieron sin dejar hijos. Después murió también la mujer.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23 Cuando resuciten, ¿de cuál de ellos será esposa esta mujer, pues los siete estuvieron casados con ella?
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24 Jesús les respondió: ―Ustedes están equivocados por no conocer ni las Escrituras ni el poder de Dios.
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
25 Cuando resuciten los muertos, no se casarán ni serán entregados en casamiento, porque serán como los ángeles que están en el cielo.
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26 Y en cuanto a que los muertos resucitan, ¿no han leído ustedes, en el libro de Moisés, el pasaje de la zarza en el que se dice que Dios le habló a Moisés y le dijo: “Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob”?
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos. Así que ustedes están equivocados por completo.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 Entonces se le acercó uno de los maestros de la ley que los oyó discutir. Al ver que Jesús les había contestado bien, le preguntó: ―De todos los mandamientos, ¿cuál es el más importante?
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29 Jesús le contestó: ―El más importante es: “Oye, Israel. El Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor es uno.
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con toda tu mente y con todas tus fuerzas”.
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 Y el segundo es: “Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”. No hay otro mandamiento más importante que estos.
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 El maestro de la ley le respondió: ―Muy bien dicho, Maestro. Dices la verdad cuando afirmas que Dios es uno y que no hay otro además de él.
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
33 Y que amar a Dios con todo el corazón, con todo el entendimiento y con todas las fuerzas, y amar al prójimo como a uno mismo, es más importante que todos los holocaustos y todos los sacrificios.
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Al ver Jesús que había respondido con sabiduría, le dijo: ―No estás lejos del reino de Dios. Después de esto, ya nadie se atrevió a hacerle más preguntas.
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
35 Mientras Jesús enseñaba en el templo, les preguntó: ―¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la ley que el Cristo es hijo de David?
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 David mismo, hablando por el Espíritu Santo, dijo: “El Señor dijo a mi Señor: ‘Siéntate a mi derecha, hasta que ponga a tus enemigos debajo de tus pies’ ”.
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37 ¿Cómo, pues, puede ser hijo de David si el propio David lo llama “Señor”? La gente lo escuchaba con agrado.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38 Jesús continuó enseñando y les decía: ―Cuídense de los maestros de la ley, pues a ellos les gusta pasearse vestidos con ropas que llaman la atención, para que los saluden en las plazas.
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 También les gusta ocupar los primeros asientos en las sinagogas y los lugares de honor en los banquetes.
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
40 Les quitan sus bienes a las viudas y luego ocultan ese hecho con largas oraciones para impresionar a los demás. Esos recibirán mayor castigo.
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
41 Jesús se sentó frente al lugar donde se depositaban las ofrendas en el templo, y se puso a observar cómo la gente echaba su dinero. Muchos ricos depositaban grandes cantidades.
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 También llegó una viuda pobre y echó en la caja de las ofrendas dos moneditas de muy poco valor.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43 Entonces Jesús indicó a sus discípulos que se le acercaran y les dijo: «Les aseguro que esta viuda pobre ha echado más en el tesoro que todos los otros.
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44 Todos echaron de lo que les sobraba; pero ella, siendo tan pobre, dio todo lo que tenía para vivir».
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

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).
… evil." And that we ought to worship God alone, He thus persuaded us: "The greatest commandment is, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve, with all thy heart, and with all thy strength, the Lord God that made thee."

Let us not, then, "be puffed up for one against the other," above that which is written; let us love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and our neighbour as ourself.

And so the Lord in reference to their pride said immediately, "Beware of the Scribes which love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first rooms at feasts." Not because they hold them, but because they love them.
