PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Este es el principio de la buena noticia de Jesús el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios.
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1 Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
2 En el libro que escribió el profeta Isaías dice: «Mira, voy a enviar un mensajero delante de ti, a prepararte el camino».
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
2 Ὡς γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου·
3 «Voz de uno que clama en el desierto: “Preparen el camino del Señor, háganle caminos derechos”».
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
3 φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
4 Así fue como se presentó Juan en el desierto, predicando que debían arrepentirse y bautizarse para obtener el perdón de los pecados.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
5 Desde Jerusalén y de toda la provincia de Judea acudía la gente a Juan. Cuando alguien confesaba sus pecados, Juan lo bautizaba en el río Jordán.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
5 καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο πάντες ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
6 Juan usaba un vestido de pelo de camello ceñido con un cinto de cuero y se alimentaba con langostas del desierto y miel silvestre.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
6 ἦν δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
7 Predicaba de esta manera: «Pronto vendrá alguien más poderoso que yo, y ni siquiera soy digno de agacharme ante él para desatar la correa de sus sandalias.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
7 καὶ ἐκήρυσσε λέγων· ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ.
8 Yo los bautizo con agua, pero él los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo».
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
8 ἐγὼ μὲν ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.
9 En esos días Jesús llegó de Nazaret de Galilea, y Juan lo bautizó en el río Jordán.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
9 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
10 En el instante en que Jesús salía del agua, vio los cielos abiertos y al Espíritu Santo que descendía sobre él en forma de paloma.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
10 καὶ εὐθέως ἀναβαίνων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδε σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν·
11 Se escuchó entonces una voz del cielo que decía: «Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti me complazco».
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
11 καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ ηὐδόκησα.
12 Inmediatamente el Espíritu lo llevó al desierto,
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
12 Καὶ εὐθέως τὸ Πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον·
13 donde pasó cuarenta días, y era tentado por Satanás. Estaba entre las fieras y los ángeles lo servían.
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
13 καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ [οἱ] ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
14 Después de que el rey Herodes mandó arrestar a Juan, Jesús se fue a Galilea a predicar las buenas nuevas de Dios.
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
14 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παραδοθῆναι Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ
15 «¡Llegó por fin la hora! —anunciaba—. ¡El reino de Dios está cerca! Arrepiéntanse y crean las buenas noticias».
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
15 καὶ λέγων ὅτι πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
16 Al pasar por la orilla del mar de Galilea, Jesús vio a Simón y a su hermano Andrés que echaban la red en el lago, pues eran pescadores.
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
16 Περιπατῶν δὲ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδε Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ Σίμωνος, βάλλοντας ἀμφίβληστρον ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς·
17 «¡Vengan y síganme —les dijo Jesús—, y los convertiré en pescadores de hombres!».
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.
18 De inmediato abandonaron las redes y lo siguieron.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
18 καὶ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα αὐτῶν ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
19 Un poco mas adelante vio a Jacobo y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que remendaban las redes en una barca.
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
19 Καὶ προβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,
20 Los llamó también, y ellos dejaron a Zebedeo en la barca con los empleados y se fueron con Jesús.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
20 καὶ εὐθέως ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
21 Llegaron a Capernaúm. El día de reposo por la mañana entraron en la sinagoga, y Jesús comenzó a enseñar.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
21 Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καπερναούμ· καὶ εὐθέως τοῖς σάββασιν [εἰσελθὼν] εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐδίδασκε.
22 La gente quedó maravillada de su enseñanza, porque Jesús hablaba con autoridad, y no como los maestros de la ley.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
22 καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.
23 Un endemoniado que estaba en la sinagoga se puso a gritar:
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
23 Καὶ ἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ ἀνέκραξε
24 ―¡Ah! ¿Por qué nos molestas, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé que eres el Santo de Dios.
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
24 λέγων· ἔα, τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
25 Jesús le dijo: —¡Cállate y sal de él!
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
25 καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
26 El espíritu inmundo sacudió con violencia al hombre y salió de él dando un gran alarido.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
26 καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ κράξαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
27 Todos se quedaron tan espantados que se preguntaban unos a otros: «¿Qué es esto? Es una enseñanza nueva, ¡y con qué autoridad! ¡Hasta los espíritus inmundos lo obedecen!».
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
27 καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν πάντες, ὥστε συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντας· τί ἐστι τοῦτο; τίς ἡ διδαχὴ ἡ καινὴ αὕτη, ὅτι κατ᾽ ἐξουσίαν καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασι τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
28 La noticia de lo sucedido corrió rápidamente por toda Galilea.
28 The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
28 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
29 De allí, Jesús, Jacobo y Juan se fueron a casa de Simón y Andrés.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
29 Καὶ εὐθέως ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
30 Y le contaron a Jesús que la suegra de Simón estaba en cama con fiebre.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
30 ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα. καὶ εὐθέως λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.
31 Él se le acercó, la tomó de la mano y la ayudó a sentarse. ¡Inmediatamente se le quitó la fiebre y se levantó a servirlos!
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
31 καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετὸς εὐθέως, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
32 Al atardecer, cuando ya se ponía el sol, le llevaron a Jesús todos los enfermos y endemoniados,
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
32 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους.
33 de manera que la ciudad entera estaba agolpada a la puerta.
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
33 καὶ ἦν ἡ πόλις ὅλη ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν·
34 Jesús sanó a muchos enfermos y endemoniados. Pero no permitía que los demonios hablaran y revelaran quién era él.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
34 καὶ ἐθεράπευσε πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλε, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιε λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν Χριστὸν εἶναι.
35 A la mañana siguiente, todavía de madrugada, Jesús se levantó y se fue a un lugar solitario a orar.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
35 Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον, κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.
36 Simón y los demás fueron a buscarlo,
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
36 καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτὸν ὁ Σίμων καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ,
37 y cuando lo encontraron le dijeron: ―Toda la gente te anda buscando.
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
37 καὶ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι πάντες σε ζητοῦσι.
38 Él les respondió: ―Vámonos de aquí a otras ciudades cercanas donde también debo predicar. Para eso vine.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
38 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἄγωμεν εἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω· εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐξελήλυθα.
39 Así que Jesús recorrió Galilea entera predicando en las sinagogas y expulsando a los demonios.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
39 καὶ ἦν κηρύσσων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.
40 Un leproso se le acercó y, de rodillas, le dijo: ―Si quieres, puedes sanarme.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
40 Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ γονυπετῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
41 Jesús, compadecido, lo tocó y le dijo: ―Quiero; queda curado.
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
41 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς σπλαγχνισθείς, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.
42 E instantáneamente la lepra desapareció y quedó limpio.
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
42 καὶ εἰπόντος αὐτοῦ εὐθέως ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
43 ―Jesús lo despidió de inmediato y le recomendó con seriedad lo siguiente:
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
43 καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ εὐθέως ἐξέβαλεν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ·
44 ―Mira, no le digas a nadie que yo te curé. Vete a presentarte ante el sacerdote y llévale la ofrenda que Moisés mandó, para que les conste a los sacerdotes.
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
44 ὅρα μηδενὶ μηδὲν εἴπῃς, ἀλλ᾽ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε περὶ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ σου ἃ προσέταξε Μωϋσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
45 Pero tan pronto salió de allí, comenzó a divulgar lo que le había sucedido. Como consecuencia de esto, Jesús ya no podía entrar abiertamente en ninguna ciudad. Tenía que quedarse en los lugares apartados; y aun así, de todas partes llegaban a él.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
45 ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἔξω ἐν ἐρήμοις τόποις ἦν· καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πανταχόθεν.

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).
… Mark, the interpreter and follower of Peter, does thus commence his Gospel narrative: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, …
The devils themselves knew this manifestation of God so well, that they said to the Lord though clothed with the infirmity of flesh, "What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art Thou come to destroy us before the time?" From these words, it is clear that they had great knowledge, and no charity.

Having then found Him in the wilderness, and in a pathless wilderness (for that the wilderness was such, Mark hath declared, saying, that He "was with the wild beasts" ), behold with how much craft he draws near, and wickedness; and for what sort of opportunity he watches.

Wherefore Mark also says: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets." Knowing one and the same Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was announced by the prophets, who from the fruit of David's body was Emmanuel, "the messenger of great counsel of the Father;" through whom God caused …
