PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Les narró también una parábola con respecto a la necesidad de hablar ellos siempre con Dios y no desmayar:
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
1 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐκκακεῖν,
2 Había un juez en una ciudad que no temía a Dios ni respetaba a hombre.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
2 λέγων· κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν Θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.
3 Había también una viuda en aquella ciudad que iba ante él y decía: Hazme justicia contra mi oponente.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
3 χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα· ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.
4 No quería por un tiempo, pero después de esto se dijo: Aunque no temo a Dios, ni respeto a hombre,
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
4 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐπὶ χρόνον· μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ· εἰ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι καὶ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐντρέπομαι,
5 por cuanto esta viuda me causa molestia, le haré justicia, no sea que al venir de continuo me agote la paciencia.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
5 διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑποπιάζῃ με.
6 Y dijo el Señor: Oigan al juez injusto.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
6 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει·
7 ¿Dios de ningún modo hará la justicia a sus escogidos que claman a Él día y noche? ¿Demorará en responderles?
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
7 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς;
8 Les digo que con prontitud les hará justicia. Pero cuando el Hijo del Hombre venga, ¿hallará la fe en la tierra?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
8 λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;
9 Narró esta parábola a unos que confiaban en ellos mismos como justos y menospreciaban a los demás:
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
9 Εἶπε δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶ δίκαιοι, καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιπούς, τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην·
10 Dos hombres subieron al Templo a hablar con Dios: el uno fariseo y el otro publicano.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
10 ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.
11 El fariseo se puso en pie y hablaba consigo mismo: Dios, te doy gracias porque no soy como los demás hombres: ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
11 ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο· ὁ Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης·
12 Ayuno dos veces [por] semana y doy diezmo de todo lo que me gano.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
13 Pero el publicano, situado lejos, no quería ni aun levantar los ojos al cielo, sino golpeaba su pecho y decía: ¡Dios, compadécete de mí, pecador!
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
13 καὶ ὁ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐπᾶραι, ἀλλ᾽ ἔτυπτεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων· ὁ Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.
14 Les digo que éste bajó a su casa justificado y no el otro, porque todo el que se enaltece será humillado, y el que se humilla será enaltecido.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
14 λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἢ γὰρ ἐκεῖνος· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
15 Le presentaban también los niños para que los tocara. Al ver esto, los discípulos los reprendían.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15 Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
16 Pero Jesús los llamó y les dijo: Dejen que los niños vengan a Mí, y no se lo impidan, porque de ellos es el reino de Dios.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὰ εἶπεν· ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
17 En verdad les digo: El que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño, que de ningún modo entre en él.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
17 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
18 Un dignatario le preguntó: Maestro bueno, ¿qué hago para heredar [la] vida eterna?
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέ τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων· διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;
19 Jesús le preguntó: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino uno solo: Dios.
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
19 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός.
20 Sabes los Mandamientos: No adulteres, no asesines, no robes, no des falso testimonio, honra a tu padre y a tu madre.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
20 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου.
21 Y él respondió: Todo esto guardé desde [la] juventud.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
21 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου.
22 Cuando Jesús lo oyó le dijo: Aún te falta uno: Vende todo lo que tienes. Repártelo a los pobres y tendrás un tesoro en [el] cielo. Y ven, sígueme.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
22 ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
23 Cuando oyó esto se entristeció profundamente porque era muy rico.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
23 ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγένετο· ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.
24 Jesús lo miró y dijo: ¡Cuán difícilmente entran los ricos en el reino de Dios!
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
24 ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς περίλυπον γενόμενον εἶπε· πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ!
25 Es más fácil pasar un camello por un ojo de aguja que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστι κάμηλον διὰ τρυμαλιᾶς ῥαφίδος εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.
26 Entonces los que lo oyeron le preguntaron: ¿Quién puede ser salvo?
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
26 εἶπον δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες· καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;
27 Y Él respondió: Lo imposible para [los] hombres es posible para Dios.
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
27 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἐστιν.
28 Luego Pedro le dijo: Mira: Nosotros dejamos todo y te seguimos.
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
28 Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Πέτρος· ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.
29 Entonces Él les contestó: En verdad les digo que nadie hay que deje casa, esposa, hermanos, padres o hijos por causa del reino de Dios
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ γονεῖς ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γυναῖκα ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ,
30 que no reciba muchas veces más en este tiempo, y en la era que viene, [la] vida eterna.
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
30 ὃς οὐ μὴ ἀπολάβῃ πολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
31 [Jesús] tomó consigo a los 12 y les dijo: Miren, subimos a Jerusalén. Se cumplirán todas las cosas que fueron escritas por los profetas con respecto al Hijo del Hombre.
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
31 Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ τελειωθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
32 Porque será entregado a los gentiles, ridiculizado, maltratado, escupido,
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
32 παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,
33 y después de azotarlo, lo asesinarán. Pero al tercer día será resucitado.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
33 καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.
34 Ellos nada de esto entendieron. Esta Palabra era oculta de ellos. No entendían lo que se les decía.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
34 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.
35 Cuando [Él] se acercó a Jericó, un ciego estaba sentado junto al camino y mendigaba.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
35 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν προσαιτῶν·
36 Al oír que pasaba una multitud, preguntaba qué sería aquello,
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
36 ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη ταῦτα.
37 y le informaron: Que viene Jesús el Nazareno.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
37 ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.
38 Entonces gritó: ¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí!
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
38 καὶ ἐβόησε λέγων· Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυΐδ, ἐλέησόν με·
39 Y los que iban delante lo reprendían para que callara. Pero él gritaba mucho más: ¡Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí!
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ· αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν· υἱὲ Δαυΐδ, ἐλέησόν με.
40 Entonces Jesús se detuvo y pidió que se lo trajeran. Cuando se acercó, le preguntó:
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
40 σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων·
41 ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y él contestó: Señor, que vea.
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
41 τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.
42 Jesús le ordenó: Ve. Tu fe te salvó.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
42 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάβλεψον· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
43 Al instante vio. Lo seguía y glorificaba a Dios. Cuando todo el pueblo lo vio, alabó a Dios.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
43 καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψε, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ Θεῷ.

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 lesson of the Holy Gospel builds us up unto the duty of praying and believing, and of not putting our trust in ourselves, but in the Lord. What greater encouragement to prayer than the parable which is proposed to us of the unjust judge?

And to the person who said to Him, "Good Master," He confessed that God who is truly good, saying, "Why callest thou Me good: there is One who is good, the Father in the heavens;" and they assert that in this passage the Æons receive the name of heavens.
It were well for him to imitate the Publican, and not swell as the Pharisee, "who went up into the temple," and boasted of his deserts, and covered up his wounds.

For instance, to them that strip themselves of all that they have for His sake He promised to give an hundred fold in the present world, and life eternal in that which is to come; by the things already given making the future also credible.

The eighth passage is, That they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent; and There is none good save one, that is, God. The solution of this appears to me very easy.
