1 »Algunos de los que están aquí no morirán sin contemplar el advenimiento del reino de Dios con poder» —añadió Jesús.
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
2 Seis días más tarde, Jesús llevó a Pedro, a Jacobo y a Juan a una montaña alta. Estaban solos. Y allí, delante de ellos, Jesús cambió de apariencia:
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 Su ropa adquirió un color blanco y resplandeciente. ¡Ningún lavador de la tierra habría podido lograr tanta blancura!
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Y aparecieron Elías y Moisés, que se pusieron a hablar con Jesús.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 ―Maestro, ¡qué bueno que estemos aquí! —exclamó Pedro—. Construiremos tres enramadas: una para ti, otra para Moisés y otra para Elías.
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Hablaba sin saber lo que decía, ya que todos estaban asustados.
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7 En eso, una nube los cubrió. Desde la nube resonó una voz que les dijo: «Este es mi Hijo amado. Óiganlo a él».
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 En ese mismo momento, cuando miraron a su alrededor, los discípulos vieron solamente a Jesús.
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
9 Mientras descendían del monte les suplicó que no dijeran a nadie lo que habían visto hasta que el Hijo del hombre resucitara.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Por eso guardaron el secreto, aunque entre ellos se preguntaban qué sería aquello de «resucitar».
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
11 ―¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la ley que Elías tiene que regresar primero? —le preguntaron.
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 ―Es cierto —les respondió Jesús—. Elías vendrá primero a restaurar todas las cosas; pero lo cierto es que ya vino y la gente lo maltrató, tal como está escrito de él. Y lo mismo está escrito acerca del Hijo del hombre, que sufrirá mucho y que será rechazado.
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
13 Not in this translation
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
14 Al llegar a donde estaban los discípulos encontraron que un gran gentío los rodeaba, y a varios maestros de la ley que discutían con ellos.
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 La llegada de Jesús sorprendió al gentío, que corrió a su encuentro a saludarlo.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 ―¿Qué están discutiendo con ellos? —les preguntó.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Alguien le dijo: ―Maestro, te traía a mi hijo porque tiene un espíritu que no lo deja hablar.
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
18 Cada vez que el espíritu lo toma, lo arroja al suelo y le hace echar espumarajos por la boca y crujir los dientes; y mi hijo se queda tieso. Pedí a tus discípulos que echaran fuera al espíritu, pero no lo lograron.
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
19 ―¡Oh generación incrédula! —les respondió Jesús—. ¿Hasta cuándo tendré que estar con ustedes? ¿Hasta cuándo he de soportarlos? Traigan acá al muchacho.
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Así lo hicieron, pero cuando el espíritu vio a Jesús, sacudió al muchacho con tal violencia que este cayó al suelo, se revolcó y echó espumarajos por la boca.
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 ―¿Cuánto tiempo lleva en estas condiciones? —le preguntó Jesús al padre. ―Desde pequeño —contestó—.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
22 Muchas veces el espíritu lo arroja en el fuego o en el agua, tratando de matarlo. Por favor, si puedes hacer algo, ten misericordia de nosotros y ayúdanos.
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 ―¿Que si puedo? —dijo Jesús—. Cualquier cosa es posible si crees.
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Al instante el padre exclamó: ―Creo; pero ayúdame a no dudar.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
25 Cuando Jesús vio que el gentío se agolpaba, reprendió al espíritu impuro con estas palabras: ―Espíritu mudo y sordo, te ordeno que salgas de este muchacho y que no entres más en él.
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
26 El espíritu gritó, sacudió violentamente al muchacho, y salió de él. El muchacho quedó inmóvil como si estuviera muerto. Por eso, muchos decían: ―¡Está muerto!
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 Pero Jesús lo tomó de la mano, y con su ayuda el muchacho se puso de pie.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
28 Cuando Jesús entró a la casa, los discípulos le preguntaron en privado: ―¿Por qué no pudimos echar fuera aquel espíritu?
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
29 ―Esta clase de espíritus no puede salir sino por medio de oración —les respondió Jesús.
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
30 Al salir de aquella región viajaron por Galilea y evitaban que la gente lo supiera,
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
31 pues deseaba estar con sus discípulos y enseñarles que el Hijo del hombre sería entregado en manos de gente que lo iba a matar, aunque al tercer día resucitaría.
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 Ellos no lo entendían, pero tenían miedo de preguntarle.
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Llegaron a Capernaúm. Una vez en la casa, Jesús les preguntó: ―¿Qué venían discutiendo en el camino?
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Se quedaron callados porque habían estado discutiendo cuál de ellos era el más importante.
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Jesús se sentó, llamó a los doce y les dijo: ―El que de ustedes quiera ser el primero conviértase en el último de todos y en el siervo de los demás.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
36 Puso luego a un niño en medio de ellos y, tomándolo en los brazos, les dijo:
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37 ―El que recibe a un niño como este en mi nombre, me está recibiendo a mí; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió.
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
38 Juan le dijo: ―Maestro, vimos a un hombre que echaba fuera demonios en tu nombre. Nosotros se lo prohibimos, porque no es de los nuestros.
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
39 ―¡No se lo prohíban! —respondió Jesús—. Nadie que realice milagros en mi nombre podrá hablar mal de mí.
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 El que no está contra nosotros está a favor de nosotros.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41 El que les dé un vaso de agua en mi nombre, porque ustedes son de Cristo, les aseguro que tendrá su recompensa.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42 »Pero si alguien hace que uno de mis creyentes humildes pierda la fe, mejor le sería que lo echaran al mar con una piedra de molino atada al cuello.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
43 »Si tu mano te hace pecar, córtatela. Mejor te es ser manco y entrar en la vida que tener las dos manos e ir a parar al inextinguible fuego del infierno.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
44 Not in this translation
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Y si tu pie te hace pecar, córtatelo. Mejor es ser cojo y entrar en la vida que tener los dos pies e ir al infierno.
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched—
46 Not in this translation
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 Y si tu ojo te hace pecar, sácatelo. Mejor es entrar tuerto al reino de Dios que tener los dos ojos e ir a parar al infierno,
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
48 donde el gusano no muere, donde el fuego nunca se apaga.
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Porque todos serán salados con fuego.
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 La sal es buena, pero si pierde su sabor, ¿cómo podrá recuperarlo? Tengan siempre sal en ustedes y vivan en paz unos con otros».
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

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).
… "The righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father;" but He shall send the unrighteous, and those who do not the works of righteousness, "into everlasting fire, where their worm shall not die, and the fire shall not be quenched."
… fire is not quenched." So, too, of the eye: "It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." He did not shrink from using the same words three times over in one passage.

For here He signified one actually against them, but there He points to one who in part is on their side: "For they cast out devils," it is said "in Thy name." But to me He seems here to be hinting also at the Jews, setting them on the devil's side.

… note how, whenever He instructs us about His Father, He is in the habit of using terms of personal authority, saying, "I will; be thou clean;" and "Peace, be still;" and "But I say unto you;" and "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee;" and all other expressions of the same kind, in order that by these we may …
