WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Él iba por ciudades y aldeas. Predicaba y proclamaba las Buenas Noticias del reino de Dios. Lo acompañaban los 12
1 Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2 y algunas mujeres que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malignos y de enfermedades: María Magdalena, de quien habían salido siete demonios,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 Juana, esposa de Chuza, mayordomo de Herodes, Susana y muchas otras que les servían de sus propiedades.
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4 Cuando se reunió una gran multitud que acudió a Él de cada ciudad, les habló por medio de una parábola.
4 When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 El sembrador salió a sembrar su semilla. Una [parte] cayó junto al camino, fue pisoteada, y las aves del cielo la comieron.
5 “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Otra [parte] cayó sobre la roca, y al brotar se secó por no tener humedad.
6 Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Otra [parte] cayó en medio de las espinas, y cuando creció juntamente con las espinas, la ahogaron.
7 Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 Otra [parte] cayó en la buena tierra, y cuando creció, produjo fruto a ciento por uno. Al decir estas cosas, exclamaba: ¡El que tiene oídos para oír, escuche!
8 Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9 Sus discípulos le preguntaban el significado de esta parábola.
9 Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 Él contestó: A ustedes les fue dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios, pero a los demás, por parábolas, para que al ver no miren y al oír no entiendan.
10 He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 Esta es, pues, la parábola: La semilla es la Palabra de Dios.
11 “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 La parte que cayó junto al camino son los que oyeron. Luego viene el diablo y quita la Palabra de sus corazones para que no crean y sean salvos.
12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 La parte que cayó sobre la roca son los que, cuando oyen, reciben la Palabra con gozo, pero no tienen raíz. Creen por un tiempo, pero cuando llega la prueba [se] apartan.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14 La [parte] que cayó entre las espinas son los que oyeron, pero al seguir su camino, son ahogados por preocupaciones, riquezas y placeres de la vida, y no producen fruto.
14 What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15 Pero la [parte] que cae en la buena tierra son los que oyeron la Palabra con corazón recto y bueno, y producen fruto con perseverancia.
15 Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16 El que enciende una lámpara no la cubre con una vasija ni [la] mete debajo de la cama, sino la pone sobre un candelero para que los que entran tengan luz.
16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Porque no hay secreto que no se revele, ni [algo] escondido que de ningún modo sea conocido y salga a la luz.
17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Consideren, pues, lo que oyen, porque al que tenga, le será dado, y al que no tenga, aun lo que supone tener le será quitado.
18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19 Entonces llegaron la madre y los hermanos de Jesús, pero no podían acercarse a Él por causa de la multitud.
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 Y le informaron: Tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera y desean verte.
20 Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21 Él respondió: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen y practican la Palabra de Dios.
21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Un día Él entró en una barca con sus discípulos y les dijo: Pasemos al otro lado del lago. Y salieron al mar.
22 Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23 Pero mientras navegaban, se quedó dormido. Una tempestad de viento descendió sobre el lago. Eran anegados y tenían peligro.
23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 Entonces lo despertaron y le dijeron: ¡Maestro, Maestro! ¡Perecemos! Y Él reprendió el viento y las olas. Cesaron y hubo calma.
24 They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25 Les preguntó: ¿Dónde está su fe? Atemorizados y asombrados, se preguntaban unos a otros: ¿Quién es Éste que aun manda a los vientos y al agua, y le obedecen?
25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 Navegaron hacia la región de los gerasenos, en la ribera opuesta a Galilea.
26 Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Llegaron a la tierra. De la ciudad les salió al encuentro un varón que tenía demonios, y por mucho tiempo no llevaba ropa ni vivía en una casa, sino entre las tumbas.
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Cuando vio a Jesús, se postró ante Él y clamó con gran voz: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te ruego que no me atormentes.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29 Porque mandaba al espíritu impuro que saliera del hombre, pues por mucho tiempo se había apoderado de él violentamente. Lo ataban con cadenas y grillos, y lo mantenían bajo guardia. Al romper las cadenas era impulsado por el demonio hacia los lugares desolados.
29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Jesús le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y él respondió: Legión, porque muchos demonios entraron en él.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31 Le rogaban que no los mandara al abismo.
31 They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32 Había allí una piara de muchos cerdos que eran atendidos en la colina. Y le rogaron que les permitiera entrar en ellos, y les permitió.
32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33 Entonces, al salir los demonios del hombre, entraron en los cerdos. La piara salió precipitada por el despeñadero al lago y se ahogó.
33 The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 Al ver lo sucedido, los que cuidaban los cerdos huyeron e informaron en la ciudad y por las granjas.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Salieron a ver lo sucedido y fueron a Jesús. Hallaron al hombre de quien salieron los demonios vestido y en su juicio cabal, sentado a los pies de Jesús. Y se llenaron de temor.
35 People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Los que vieron les contaron cómo el endemoniado fue sanado.
36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 Pero todos los de la región de los gerasenos le rogaron a Jesús que se fuera de su región, pues estaban atemorizados. Él entró en la barca y regresó.
37 All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38 El hombre de quien salieron los demonios le rogaba [que le permitiera ]estar con Él. Pero lo despidió y le dijo:
38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Regresa a tu casa y anuncia cuán grandes cosas te hizo Dios. Salió y proclamaba por toda la ciudad las grandes cosas que Jesús le hizo.
39 “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Al regresar Jesús, la multitud le dio la bienvenida, pues todos lo esperaban.
40 When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Llegó un hombre llamado Jairo quien era un oficial de la congregación. Se postró a los pies de Jesús y le rogaba que fuera a su casa,
41 Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42 porque su única hija, como de 12 años, estaba a punto de morir. Cuando Él iba, la multitud lo apretujaba.
42 for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43 Una mujer que había tenido flujo de sangre por 12 años, quien no pudo ser sanada por alguno,
43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 se acercó por detrás y tocó el borde de la ropa de Jesús. De inmediato cesó su flujo de sangre.
44 came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Y Jesús preguntó: ¿Quién me tocó? Y al negar todos, Pedro dijo: Maestro, la multitud te apretuja y te oprime.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Pero Jesús contestó: Alguien me tocó, porque Yo comprendí que salió poder de Mí.
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47 Entonces la mujer, cuando entendió que la había descubierto, fue temblorosa y se postró ante Él. Confesó delante de todo el pueblo por qué lo tocó, y que fue sanada al instante.
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Entonces Él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te sanó. Vé en paz.
48 He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 Mientras Él aún hablaba, apareció uno de parte del oficial de la congregación quien dijo: Tu hija murió. Ya no molestes al Maestro.
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50 Pero al oírlo, Jesús le dijo: No temas. Solo cree y será sanada.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Al entrar en la casa, a ninguno permitió entrar con Él, sino a Pedro, Juan, Jacobo y los padres de la joven.
51 When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Todos lloraban y se lamentaban por ella. Pero Él dijo: No lloren, porque no murió, sino duerme.
52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53 [Como estaban ]convencidos de que murió, se burlaban de Él.
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Pero Él tomó la mano de la niña y clamó: ¡Niña, levántate!
54 But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 El espíritu volvió a ella, y en seguida [se] levantó. [Jesús] ordenó que se le diera de comer.
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 Los padres de la niña quedaron asombrados, pero Él les ordenó que a nadie dijeran lo sucedido.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.

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 Lord also, as the fifth person, entered into the apartment of the dead maiden, and raised her up again; for, says [the Scripture], "He suffered no man to go in, save Peter and James, and the father and mother of the maiden." The rich man in hell declared that he had five brothers, to whom he desired that one …
May she therefore rest in peace with her husband, before or after whom she married none; whom she obeyed, with patience bringing forth fruit unto Thee, that she might gain him also for Thee.
