PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
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.
1 Καὶ ἤρξατο αὐτοῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς λέγειν· ἀμπελῶνα ἐφύτευσεν ἄνθρωπος καὶ περιέθηκε φραγμὸν καὶ ὤρυξεν ὑπολήνιον καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πύργον, καὶ ἐξέδοτο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησε.
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.
2 καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς τῷ καιρῷ δοῦλον, ἵνα παρὰ τῶν γεωργῶν λάβῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος.
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.
3 καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὸν ἔδειραν καὶ ἀπέστειλαν κενόν.
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.
4 καὶ πάλιν ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἄλλον δοῦλον· κἀκεῖνον λιθοβολήσαντες ἐκεφαλαίωσαν καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ἠτιμωμένον.
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.
5 καὶ πάλιν ἄλλον ἀπέστειλε· κἀκεῖνον ἀπέκτειναν, καὶ πολλοὺς ἄλλους, οὓς μὲν δέροντες, οὓς δὲ ἀποκτέννοντες.
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.’
6 ἔτι οὖν ἕνα υἱὸν ἔχων, ἀγαπητὸν αὐτοῦ, ἀπέστειλε καὶ αὐτὸν ἔσχατον πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων ὅτι ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου.
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.’
7 ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οἱ γεωργοί, θεασάμενοι αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον, πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἶπον ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἡμῶν ἔσται ἡ κληρονομία.
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.
8 καὶ λαβόντες ἀπέκτειναν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος.
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.
9 τί οὖν ποιήσει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος; ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους, καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις.
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.
10 οὐδὲ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἀνέγνωτε, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας·
11 El Señor lo hizo y es una maravilla ante nuestros ojos”?».
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
11 παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη, καὶ ἔστι θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν;
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.
12 Καὶ ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν κρατῆσαι, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν ὄχλον· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν εἶπε. καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθον.
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.
13 Καὶ ἀποστέλλουσι πρὸς αὐτόν τινας τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν ἵνα αὐτὸν ἀγρεύσωσι λόγῳ.
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?
14 οἱ δὲ ἐλθόντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός· οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις. εἶπον οὖν ἡμῖν· ἔξεστι δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ; δῶμεν ἢ μὴ δῶμεν;
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.”
15 ὁ δὲ εἰδὼς αὐτῶν τὴν ὑπόκρισιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί με πειράζετε; φέρετέ μοι δηνάριον ἵνα ἴδω.
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.”
16 οἱ δὲ ἤνεγκαν. καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· Καίσαρος.
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.
17 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ· καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ.
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,
18 Καὶ ἔρχονται Σαδδουκαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν, οἵτινες λέγουσιν ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι, καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες·
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.’
19 διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ καὶ καταλίπῃ γυναῖκα, καὶ τέκνα μὴ ἀφῇ, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
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.
20 ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν. καὶ ὁ πρῶτος ἔλαβε γυναῖκα, καὶ ἀποθνῄσκων οὐκ ἀφῆκε σπέρμα.
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;
21 καὶ ὁ δεύτερος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἀπέθανε, καὶ οὐδὲ αὐτὸς [οὐκ] ἀφῆκε σπέρμα. καὶ ὁ τρίτος ὡσαύτως.
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.
22 καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν οἱ ἑπτά, καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκαν σπέρμα. ἐσχάτη πάντων ἀπέθανε καὶ ἡ γυνή.
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.”
23 ἐν τῇ οὖν ἀναστάσει, ὅταν ἀναστῶσι, τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
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?
24 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
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.
25 ὅταν γὰρ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῶσιν, οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται, ἀλλ᾽ εἰσὶν ὡς ἄγγελοι [οἱ] ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
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’?
26 περὶ δὲ τῶν νεκρῶν ὅτι ἐγείρονται, οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ Μωϋσέως, ἐπὶ τοῦ βάτου πῶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς λέγων, ἐγὼ ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ;
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.”
27 οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων· ὑμεῖς οὖν πολὺ πλανᾶσθε.
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?”
28 Καὶ προσελθὼν εἷς τῶν γραμματέων, ἀκούσας αὐτῶν συζητούντων, ἰδὼν ὅτι καλῶς αὐτοῖς ἀπεκρίθη, ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν· ποία ἐστὶ πρώτη πάντων ἐντολή;
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.
29 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὅτι πρώτη πάντων ἐντολή· ἄκουε, Ἰσραήλ, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν Κύριος εἷς ἐστι·
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.
30 καὶ ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς διανοίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος σου. αὕτη πρώτη ἐντολή.
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.”
31 καὶ δευτέρα ὁμοία, αὕτη· ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς ἑαυτόν. μείζων τούτων ἄλλη ἐντολὴ οὐκ ἔστι.
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;
32 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ γραμματεύς· καλῶς, διδάσκαλε, ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας εἶπας ὅτι εἷς ἐστι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλος πλὴν αὐτοῦ·
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.”
33 καὶ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν αὐτὸν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς συνέσεως καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος, καὶ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν τὸν πλησίον ὡς ἑαυτὸν πλεῖόν ἐστι πάντων τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυσιῶν.
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.
34 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἰδὼν ὅτι νουνεχῶς ἀπεκρίθη, εἶπεν αὐτῷ· οὐ μακρὰν εἶ ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ οὐδεὶς οὐκέτι ἐτόλμα αὐτὸν ἐπερωτῆσαι.
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?
35 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔλεγε διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· πῶς λέγουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς υἱὸς Δαυΐδ ἐστι;
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.”’
36 αὐτὸς γὰρ Δαυῒδ εἶπεν ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ· λέγει ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.
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.
37 αὐτὸς οὖν Δαυΐδ λέγει αὐτὸν Κύριον· καὶ πόθεν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστι; καὶ ὁ πολὺς ὄχλος ἤκουεν αὐτοῦ ἡδέως.
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,
38 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· βλέπετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων ἐν στολαῖς περιπατεῖν καὶ ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς
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,
39 καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις.
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.”
40 οἱ κατεσθίοντες τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσευχόμενοι! οὗτοι λήψονται περισσότερον κρῖμα.
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.
41 Καὶ καθίσας ὁ Ἰησοῦς κατέναντι τοῦ γαζοφυλακίου ἐθεώρει πῶς ὁ ὄχλος βάλλει χαλκὸν εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον.
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.
42 καὶ πολλοὶ πλούσιοι ἔβαλλον πολλά· καὶ ἐλθοῦσα μία χήρα πτωχὴ ἔβαλε λεπτὰ δύο, ὅ ἐστι κοδράντης.
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,
43 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλε τῶν βαλλόντων εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον·
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.”
44 πάντες γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον· αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τῆς ὑστερήσεως αὐτῆς πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν ἔβαλεν, ὅλον τὸν βίον αὐτῆς.

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).
