1 Principio de las Buenas Noticias de Jesucristo.
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1 Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
2 Como está escrito en el profeta Isaías: Ciertamente envío mi mensajero delante de Ti, quien preparará tu camino.
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
2 Ὡς γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου·
3 Voz que clama en el desierto: Preparen el camino del Señor. Enderecen sus sendas.
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
3 φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
4 Juan apareció en una región despoblada. Bautizaba y proclamaba un bautismo de cambio de mente para perdón de pecados.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
5 Los habitantes de Judea y Jerusalén acudían a él. Confesaban sus pecados y eran bautizados por él en el río Jordán.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
5 καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο πάντες ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
6 Juan vestía pelos de camello y cinturón de cuero alrededor de su cintura, y comía saltamontes y miel silvestre.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
6 ἦν δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
7 Proclamaba: Viene tras mí Alguien más poderoso que yo, de Quien no soy digno de inclinarme y desatar la correa de sus sandalias.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
7 καὶ ἐκήρυσσε λέγων· ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ.
8 Yo los bautizo con agua, pero Él los bautizará con [el] Espíritu Santo.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
8 ἐγὼ μὲν ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.
9 Aconteció en aquellos días que Jesús salió de Nazaret de Galilea y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
9 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
10 De inmediato, al salir del agua, vio los cielos abiertos y al Espíritu que descendía sobre Él como paloma.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
10 καὶ εὐθέως ἀναβαίνων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδε σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν·
11 Se oyó una voz de los cielos: Tú eres mi Hijo amado. En Ti me deleité.
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
11 καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ ηὐδόκησα.
12 Enseguida el Espíritu lo impulsó a una región despoblada.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
12 Καὶ εὐθέως τὸ Πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον·
13 Estuvo allí 40 días y fue tentado por Satanás. Estaba con las fieras, y los ángeles le servían.
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
13 καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ [οἱ] ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
14 Después del arresto de Juan, Jesús fue a Galilea a proclamar las Buenas Noticias de Dios:
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
14 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παραδοθῆναι Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ
15 ¡El tiempo se cumplió y el reino de Dios se acercó! ¡Cambien de mente y crean en las Buenas Noticias!
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
15 καὶ λέγων ὅτι πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
16 Al pasar junto al mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a su hermano Andrés, quienes echaban una red en el mar porque eran pescadores.
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
16 Περιπατῶν δὲ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδε Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ Σίμωνος, βάλλοντας ἀμφίβληστρον ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς·
17 Jesús les dijo: Síganme y serán pescadores de hombres.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.
18 Dejaron las redes y de inmediato lo siguieron.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
18 καὶ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα αὐτῶν ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
19 Un poco más adelante vio a Jacobo, [hijo] de Zebedeo y a su hermano Juan quienes remendaban las redes en su barca.
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
19 Καὶ προβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,
20 Enseguida los llamó. Dejaron a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros y lo siguieron.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
20 καὶ εὐθέως ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
21 Entraron en Cafarnaúm, y los sábados [Jesús] enseñaba en la congregación judía.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
21 Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καπερναούμ· καὶ εὐθέως τοῖς σάββασιν [εἰσελθὼν] εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐδίδασκε.
22 Se asombraban de su doctrina, porque les enseñaba como Quien tiene autoridad y no como los escribas.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
22 καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.
23 Un hombre que tenía un espíritu impuro estaba en la congregación y gritaba:
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
23 Καὶ ἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ ἀνέκραξε
24 ¿Qué nos pasa a Ti y a mí, Jesús nazareno? ¿Vienes a destruirnos? ¡Sé Quién eres: El Santo de Dios!
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
24 λέγων· ἔα, τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
25 Pero Jesús lo reprendió: ¡Enmudece y sal de él!
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
25 καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
26 El espíritu impuro lo convulsionó, gritó a gran voz y salió de él.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
26 καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ κράξαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
27 Todos se asombraron de manera tan extraordinaria que decían: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Una nueva enseñanza? Con autoridad manda aun a los espíritus impuros, ¡y le obedecen!
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
27 καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν πάντες, ὥστε συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντας· τί ἐστι τοῦτο; τίς ἡ διδαχὴ ἡ καινὴ αὕτη, ὅτι κατ᾽ ἐξουσίαν καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασι τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
28 Enseguida su fama se extendió por toda la región alrededor de Galilea.
28 The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
28 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
29 Al salir de la congregación, [Jesús] fue a la casa de Simón y Andrés con Jacobo y Juan.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
29 Καὶ εὐθέως ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
30 La suegra de Simón estaba tendida con fiebre, y de inmediato le hablaron de ella.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
30 ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα. καὶ εὐθέως λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.
31 Jesús se acercó, la tomó de la mano y la levantó. Se le quitó la fiebre, y les servía.
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
31 καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετὸς εὐθέως, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
32 Cuando bajó el sol, le llevaron todos los enfermos y endemoniados.
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
32 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους.
33 La ciudad entera se agolpó ante la puerta [de la casa].
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
33 καὶ ἦν ἡ πόλις ὅλη ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν·
34 Jesús sanó a muchos de diversas dolencias y echó fuera muchos demonios. No los dejaba hablar, porque lo conocían.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
34 καὶ ἐθεράπευσε πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλε, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιε λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν Χριστὸν εἶναι.
35 Después de levantarse muy temprano, cuando aún había oscuridad, fue a un lugar solitario para hablar con Dios.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
35 Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον, κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.
36 Simón y los que andaban con él lo buscaron.
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
36 καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτὸν ὁ Σίμων καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ,
37 Cuando lo hallaron, le dijeron: ¡Todos te buscan!
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
37 καὶ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι πάντες σε ζητοῦσι.
38 [Él] les dijo: Vamos a predicar a otros pueblos vecinos, pues para esto salí.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
38 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἄγωμεν εἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω· εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐξελήλυθα.
39 Fue por toda Galilea, predicaba en las congregaciones de ellos y echaba fuera los demonios.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
39 καὶ ἦν κηρύσσων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.
40 Un leproso se acercó a Él y le rogaba: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
40 Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ γονυπετῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
41 Conmovido, [Jesús] extendió la mano, lo tocó y le dijo: Quiero. ¡Sé limpio!
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
41 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς σπλαγχνισθείς, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.
42 Al instante la lepra salió de él y quedó limpio.
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
42 καὶ εἰπόντος αὐτοῦ εὐθέως ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
43 Después de advertirle rigurosamente, lo despidió
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
43 καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ εὐθέως ἐξέβαλεν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ·
44 y le dijo: Mira, a nadie le hables de esto, sino vé, preséntate ante el sacerdote. Ofrece por tu purificación lo que Moisés ordenó, para testimonio a ellos.
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
44 ὅρα μηδενὶ μηδὲν εἴπῃς, ἀλλ᾽ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε περὶ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ σου ἃ προσέταξε Μωϋσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
45 Pero al salir, pregonaba a muchos y divulgaba el asunto, de tal modo que [Jesús] no podía entrar públicamente en [la] ciudad, sino permanecía en lugares despoblados. Iban a Él de todas partes.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
45 ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἔξω ἐν ἐρήμοις τόποις ἦν· καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πανταχόθεν.

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).
… Mark, the interpreter and follower of Peter, does thus commence his Gospel narrative: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, …
The devils themselves knew this manifestation of God so well, that they said to the Lord though clothed with the infirmity of flesh, "What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art Thou come to destroy us before the time?" From these words, it is clear that they had great knowledge, and no charity.

Having then found Him in the wilderness, and in a pathless wilderness (for that the wilderness was such, Mark hath declared, saying, that He "was with the wild beasts" ), behold with how much craft he draws near, and wickedness; and for what sort of opportunity he watches.

For it saith, The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, &c.: John came baptising in the wilderness.

Wherefore Mark also says: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets." Knowing one and the same Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was announced by the prophets, who from the fruit of David's body was Emmanuel, "the messenger of great counsel of the Father;" through whom God caused …
