WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Jesús les relató otras parábolas que describían el reino de los cielos:

1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

2 «El reino de los cielos puede ilustrarse con el cuento de un rey que preparó un gran banquete en celebración de la boda de su hijo.

2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,

3 Envió muchísimas invitaciones, y cuando el banquete estuvo listo, mandó un mensajero a notificar a los convidados que ya podían ir. ¡Pero nadie fue!

3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

4 Envió a otros siervos a decirles que fueran pronto, que no se demoraran, que ya los asados estaban listos.

4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’

5 Algunos de los invitados se rieron de los mensajeros y se fueron a sus labranzas o negocios;

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

6 y los otros tomaron a los mensajeros y, tras golpearlos y afrentarlos, los mataron.

6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

7 El rey, enojado, ordenó al ejército que acabara con aquellos asesinos y quemara la ciudad.

7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 Entonces dijo: “El banquete está listo, pero los que estaban invitados han mostrado que no eran dignos de la invitación.

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

9 Por eso, vayan ahora por las esquinas e inviten a todo el mundo”.

9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’

10 »Los siervos obedecieron y trajeron a cuantos hallaron, lo mismo malos que buenos. Las mesas se llenaron de invitados.

10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

11 Pero cuando el rey fue a ver a los convidados, vio que uno no traía puesto el vestido de boda que había comprado para los invitados.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,

12 “Amigo mío”, le dijo, “¿cómo entraste sin el vestido de boda?”. Como no le respondió,

12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

13 el rey ordenó: “Átenlo de pies y manos y échenlo en las tinieblas de afuera. ¡Allí será el llorar y el crujir de dientes!

13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’

14 Porque muchos son los llamados, pero pocos los escogidos”».

14 For many are called, but few chosen.”

15 Los fariseos se reunieron para tramar la manera de enredar a Jesús en sus propias palabras y hacerle decir algo que lo comprometiera.

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

16 Decidieron enviar a algunos de sus hombres, juntamente con algunos herodianos, a formularle algunas preguntas. ―Señor —le dijeron—, sabemos que amas la verdad y que la enseñas sin miedo a las consecuencias.

16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.

17 Dinos, ¿debe uno pagar impuestos al gobierno romano?

17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 Jesús, que sabía lo que se traían entre manos, les dijo: ―¡Hipócritas! ¿A quién se creen que están tratando de engañar con preguntas como esas? Enséñenme una moneda. Y ellos le mostraron una moneda romana de plata.

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 Not in this translation

19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

20 ―¿De quién dice ahí que es esa imagen? —les preguntó.

20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

21 ―Del César —respondieron. ―Pues denle al César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que es de Dios.

21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

22 Sorprendidos y avergonzados, se fueron.

22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

23 Aquel mismo día, algunos de los saduceos (que eran los que no creían en la resurrección de los muertos), le preguntaron:

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

24 ―Señor, Moisés dijo que si un hombre muere sin tener hijos, uno de sus hermanos debe casarse con la viuda para que ella tenga hijos que reciban la herencia familiar del muerto.

24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

25 Pues bien, hubo una vez una familia de siete hermanos. El primero de estos se casó y murió sin tener hijos, por lo cual la viuda se casó con el segundo hermano. Aquel hermano también murió sin tener hijos, y la esposa se casó con el siguiente hermano. El caso se fue repitiendo de manera tal que aquella señora fue esposa de los siete hermanos.

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

26 Not in this translation

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 Pero a la mujer le llegó también la hora de morir. Dinos, ¿de cuál de los hermanos será esposa cuando resuciten? ¡En vida lo fue de los siete!

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 Not in this translation

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

29 ―Pues ustedes se equivocan por ignorar las Escrituras y el poder de Dios —les dijo Jesús—.

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 En la resurrección no habrá matrimonios, porque todos serán como los ángeles del cielo.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

31 Y en cuanto a la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no se han fijado que las Escrituras dicen:

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 “Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob”? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 El gentío se quedó boquiabierto ante aquella respuesta.

33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34 Los fariseos no se dejaron amedrentar por la derrota de los saduceos

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

35 y se les ocurrió una nueva idea. Uno de ellos, abogado, preguntó a Jesús:

35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

36 ―Señor, ¿cuál es el mandamiento más importante de la ley de Moisés?

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

37 Jesús respondió: ―“Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente”.

37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 Este es el primero y el más importante de los mandamientos.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 El segundo es similar: “Amarás a tu prójimo con el mismo amor con que te amas a ti mismo”.

39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 Los demás mandamientos y demandas de los profetas se resumen en estos dos mandamientos que he mencionado. El que los cumpla estará cumpliendo todos los demás.

40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41 Aprovechando la ocasión de estar rodeado de fariseos, Jesús les preguntó:

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 ―¿Qué opinan ustedes del Mesías? ¿De quién es hijo? ―De David —le respondieron.

42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

43 ―Entonces, ¿por qué David, inspirado por el Espíritu Santo, lo llama “Señor”? Porque fue David quien afirmó:

43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 »“Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi derecha hasta que haya puesto a tus enemigos bajo tus pies”.

44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?

45 »¿Creen ustedes que David habría llamado “Señor” a su hijo?»

45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

46 ―No —le respondieron—. Y desde entonces nadie se atrevió a preguntarle nada.

46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

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).

Commentary 22:2 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XL)
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Commentary 22:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXIX)
Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.
