WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El Espíritu Santo condujo a Jesús al desierto para que el diablo lo tentara.
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Luego de pasar cuarenta días y cuarenta noches sin probar bocado, Jesús sintió hambre
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 y el diablo se le acercó. ―Si eres el Hijo de Dios —le dijo—, haz que estas piedras se conviertan en pan.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4 ―¡No! —le respondió Jesús—. Escrito está: “Para vivir no sólo es importante el pan: debemos obedecer todo lo que manda Dios”.
4 But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
5 Entonces el diablo lo llevó al lugar más alto del templo de Jerusalén.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 ―Si eres el Hijo de Dios —le dijo—, tírate desde aquí. Las Escrituras dicen que Dios enviará a sus ángeles a cuidarte, y ni siquiera te tropezarás con las rocas.
6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
7 ―Pero las Escrituras también dicen: “No pongas a prueba a tu Dios” —le respondió Jesús.
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
8 Finalmente el diablo lo llevó a la cima de una alta montaña y le mostró las naciones del mundo y la gloria que hay en ellas.
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 ―Todo esto te lo daré si de rodillas me adoras —le dijo.
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
10 ―¡Vete de aquí, Satanás! —le respondió Jesús—. Las Escrituras dicen: “Sólo al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y solamente a él le obedecerás”.
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
11 El diablo se fue, y ¡los ángeles llegaron a atender a Jesús!
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
12 Cuando Jesús oyó que habían encarcelado a Juan, regresó a Galilea.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Pero no mucho después dejó Nazaret y se trasladó a Capernaum, junto al lago, en la región de Zabulón y Neftalí.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Así se cumplió la profecía de Isaías:
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 «Tierra de Zabulón y Neftalí, que estás en el camino al mar, al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea, donde tantos extranjeros habitan:
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 El pueblo que estaba en tinieblas vio una gran luz y al pueblo que andaba en regiones de sombra de muerte le resplandeció la luz».
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
17 Y desde aquel mismo instante Jesús comenzó a predicar: «Arrepiéntanse de sus pecados porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado».
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
18 Un día, caminando Jesús a orillas del lago de Galilea, vio a dos pescadores que tiraban la red al agua. Eran Simón, mejor conocido por Pedro, y Andrés, su hermano.
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 «Síganme y los convertiré en pescadores de hombres», les dijo Jesús.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
20 Inmediatamente dejaron la red y lo siguieron.
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Un poco más adelante vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo y Juan, que estaban sentados en una barca, con Zebedeo su padre, y remendaban las redes. Cuando Jesús los llamó,
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
22 dejaron a su padre a cargo de lo que estaban haciendo y siguieron a Jesús.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Jesús recorrió toda Galilea enseñando en las sinagogas, proclamando las buenas noticias del reino y sanando las enfermedades y dolencias de la gente.
23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
24 Su fama llegó hasta Siria, y le traían todo tipo de enfermos: No había enfermo, endemoniado, loco o paralítico que le trajeran y a quien no sanara.
24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 Y dondequiera que iba lo seguían multitudes enormes de Galilea, Decápolis, Jerusalén, toda Judea y de los territorios al este del río Jordán.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

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).

  1. Commentary 4:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XIII)

    Then. When? After the descent of the Spirit, after the voice that was borne from above, and said, "This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." And what was marvellous, it was of the Holy Spirit; for this, he here saith, led Him up.

    For, when tempting Him, he said, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

    If the Master Himself followed the right time in due order, ought we, His servants, to venture out of order?
