1 Jesús se subió de nuevo a la barca y regresó a la ciudad donde residía.
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Varios hombres le trajeron a un paralítico tendido en un camastro. Cuando Jesús vio la fe que tenían, dijo al enfermo: ―¡Ten ánimo, hijo! ¡Te perdono tus pecados!
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 «¡Blasfemia!» —pensaron algunos de los maestros religiosos que lo oyeron.
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 Jesús, que sabía lo que estaban pensando, les dijo: ―¿A qué vienen esos malos pensamientos?
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Díganme, ¿qué es más difícil: sanar a un enfermo o perdonarle sus pecados?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 Pues voy a demostrarles que tengo autoridad en la tierra para perdonar los pecados. Entonces se dirigió al paralítico y le dijo: ―¡Levántate, recoge la camilla y vete a tu casa!
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 Y el paralítico se puso de pie y se fue a su casa.
7 He arose and departed to his house.
8 Un escalofrío de temor sacudió a la multitud ante aquel milagro, y todos alababan a Dios por haberles dado tanto poder a los seres humanos.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 Al salir del lugar, Jesús vio a Mateo, un cobrador de impuestos que estaba sentado junto a la mesa donde se pagaban los tributos. «Sígueme», le dijo Jesús. Mateo se levantó y se fue con él.
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 Ese mismo día cenó Jesús en su casa. Y junto con sus discípulos había muchos cobradores de impuestos y gente pecadora.
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Al ver eso, los fariseos se indignaron. ―¿Por qué su Maestro anda con gente de esa calaña? —preguntaron a los discípulos.
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Jesús alcanzó a oír aquellas palabras y les respondió: ―Porque los sanos no necesitan médico, y los enfermos sí.
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 Vayan y traten de entender el texto que dice: “Misericordia quiero, no sacrificios”, porque yo no he venido a llamar a los buenos, sino a los malos.
13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
14 Un día los discípulos de Juan se le acercaron a preguntarle: ―¿Por qué tus discípulos no ayunan como los fariseos y nosotros?
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 ―¿Acaso pueden estar tristes los invitados a una boda mientras el novio está con ellos? —les preguntó Jesús—. ¡Claro que no! Pero llegará el momento en que les quitarán al novio y entonces sí ayunarán.
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 A nadie se le ocurre remendar un vestido viejo con una tela nueva, porque lo más probable es que la tela nueva se encoja y rompa la vieja, con lo cual la rotura se haría mayor.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Y a nadie se le ocurre echar vino nuevo en odres viejos, porque los odres se romperían, y se perderían el vino y los odres. El vino nuevo se debe echar en odres nuevos, para que ambos se conserven.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 Apenas terminó de pronunciar estas palabras, cuando un jefe de los judíos llegó y se postró ante él. ―Mi hija acaba de morir —le dijo—, pero sé que resucitará si vas y la tocas.
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Jesús y los discípulos se dirigieron al hogar del jefe judío.
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 Mientras iban, una mujer que llevaba doce años enferma de un derrame de sangre, se acercó por detrás y tocó el borde del manto de Jesús.
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 Ella pensaba que si lo tocaba sanaría.
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Jesús se volvió y le dijo: ―Hija, tu fe te ha sanado. Vete tranquila. Y la mujer sanó en aquel mismo momento.
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Al llegar a la casa del jefe judío y escuchar el alboroto de los presentes y la música fúnebre,
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 Jesús dijo: ―Salgan de aquí. La niña no está muerta, sólo está dormida. La gente se rio de Jesús,
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 y todos salieron. Jesús entró donde estaba la niña y la tomó de la mano. ¡Y la niña se levantó sana!
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 La noticia de este milagro se difundió por toda aquella región.
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
27 Cuando regresaba de la casa del jefe judío, dos ciegos lo siguieron gritando: ―¡Hijo de David, apiádate de nosotros!
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28 Al llegar a la casa, Jesús les preguntó: ―¿Creen que puedo devolverles la vista? ―Sí, Señor —le contestaron—; creemos.
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Entonces él les tocó los ojos y dijo: —Hágase realidad lo que han creído.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30 ¡Y recobraron la vista! Jesús les pidió encarecidamente que no se lo contaran a nadie,
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 pero apenas salieron de allí se pusieron a divulgar por aquellos lugares lo que Jesús había hecho.
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Cuando se fueron los ciegos, le llevaron a la casa a un hombre que había quedado mudo por culpa de demonios que se le habían metido.
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 Tan pronto como Jesús los echó fuera, el hombre pudo hablar. La gente, maravillada, exclamó: «¡Jamás habíamos visto algo semejante en Israel!».
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 En cambio, los fariseos decían: «Él puede echar fuera demonios porque tiene dentro al mismísimo príncipe de los demonios».
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
35 Jesús recorría las ciudades y los pueblos de la región enseñando en las sinagogas, predicando las buenas nuevas del reino y sanando a la gente de sus enfermedades y dolencias.
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36 Al ver a las multitudes, sintió compasión de ellas, porque eran como ovejas desamparadas y dispersas que no tienen pastor.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 «¡Es tan grande la mies y hay tan pocos obreros!» —les dijo a los discípulos—.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 «Pidan que el Señor de la mies consiga más obreros para sus campos».
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

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).
By His own city here he means Capernaum. For that which gave Him birth was Bethlehem; that which brought Him up, Nazareth; that which had Him continually inhabiting it, Capernaum. This paralytic, however, was different from that one who is set forth in John.

For Christ called not the just nor the chaste to repentance, but the ungodly, and the licentious, and the unjust; His words being, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." For the heavenly Father desires rather the repentance than the punishment of the sinner.
And not merely in works, but also in faith, has God preserved the will of man free and under his own control, saying, "According to thy faith be it unto thee;" thus showing that there is a faith specially belonging to man, since he has an opinion specially his own.
… all things are become new;" and "because our salvation is nearer than when we believed;" and because "the night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and because Thou wilt crown Thy year with blessing, sending the labourers of Thy goodness into Thy harvest, in the sowing of which others have laboured, sending also into another field, whose harvest …

For He said not, what we find Him saying after this, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" because He had not as yet given proof of His power.
