1 En aquel tiempo Jesús pasó por los sembrados un sábado. Sus discípulos tenían hambre y comenzaron a arrancar espigas y comer.
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 Cuando los fariseos vieron esto le dijeron: Mira, tus discípulos hacen lo que no es lícito en sábado.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3 Él les contestó: ¿No han leído ustedes lo que hizo David y los que estaban con él cuando tuvo hambre,
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4 cómo entró en la Casa de Dios, y comieron los Panes de la Presentación, de los cuales no le era lícito comer a él ni a los que estaban con él, sino solo a los sacerdotes?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 ¿O no leyeron en la Ley que los sábados los sacerdotes en el Templo profanan el sábado, y no son culpables?
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 Pues les digo que Alguien mayor que el Templo está aquí.
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
7 Si ustedes hubieran comprendido qué significa esto: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio, no habrían condenado a los inocentes,
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
8 porque el Hijo del Hombre es Señor del sábado.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Cuando pasó de allí entró en la congregación de ellos.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
10 Ahí estaba un hombre que tenía una mano paralizada, y para acusarlo, le preguntaron: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
11 Él les contestó: ¿Quién de ustedes tiene una oveja, y si ésta cae en un hoyo en sábado, no le echa mano y la saca?
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
12 ¡Cuánto más vale un hombre que una oveja! De manera que es lícito hacer bien los sábados.
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13 Y dijo al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y [la] extendió y quedó sana como la otra.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Cuando salieron los fariseos tramaron un plan contra Él para que lo mataran.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Cuando Jesús supo [esto] se apartó de allí. Pero muchos lo siguieron, y los sanó a todos.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16 Les advirtió que no manifestaran Quién era Él,
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
17 para que se cumpliera lo dicho por medio del profeta Isaías:
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Aquí está mi Esclavo, a Quien escogí, mi Amado, en Quien mi alma se complació. Pondré mi Espíritu sobre Él, y anunciará juicio a los gentiles.
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 No contenderá, ni voceará. Ninguno oirá su voz en las plazas.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 No quebrará una caña desgastada, ni apagará la mecha ahumada hasta que saque el juicio a victoria.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21 En su Nombre esperarán los gentiles.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
22 Entonces le llevaron un endemoniado ciego y mudo. Lo sanó de manera que el mudo hablaba y veía.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 Toda la multitud se asombraba y decía: ¿No será Éste el Hijo de David?
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
24 Pero cuando los fariseos [lo] oyeron, dijeron: Éste no echa fuera los demonios sino por Beelzebul, jefe de los demonios.
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
25 Como [Jesús] conoció sus pensamientos, les dijo: Todo reino dividido contra él mismo es asolado, y toda ciudad o casa dividida contra ella misma, no se mantendrá firme.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Entonces, si Satanás echa fuera a Satanás, se dividió contra él mismo. ¿Cómo, pues, permanecerá su reino?
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Si Yo echo fuera los demonios por Beelzebul, ¿por quién los echan los hijos de ustedes? Por tanto ellos serán sus jueces.
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 Pero si por el Espíritu de Dios Yo echo fuera los demonios, entonces el reino de Dios vino a ustedes.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
29 ¿O cómo puede alguno entrar en la casa del fuerte y saquear sus bienes, si primero no ata al fuerte? Entonces saqueará su casa.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
30 El que no está conmigo, está contra Mí, y el que no recoge conmigo, desparrama.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
31 Por tanto les digo: Todo pecado y blasfemia se perdonará a los hombres, pero la blasfemia contra el Espíritu no será perdonada.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32 Cualquiera que diga una palabra contra el Hijo del Hombre, le será perdonada. Pero al que hable contra el Espíritu Santo, no le será perdonado, ni en este siglo ni en el venidero.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.
33 Cultiven el árbol bueno y su fruto [será] bueno, o cultiven el árbol malo y su fruto [será] malo, porque por el fruto se conoce el árbol.
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 ¡Generación de víboras! ¿Cómo pueden ustedes hablar cosas buenas puesto que son malos? Porque de lo que abunda en el corazón habla la boca.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 El hombre bueno, del tesoro bueno saca cosas buenas, y el hombre malo, del tesoro malo saca cosas malas.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
36 Y les digo que los hombres darán cuenta en el día del juicio de toda palabra ociosa que hablen.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 Porque por tus palabras serás justificado, y por tus palabras serás condenado.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38 Entonces los escribas y fariseos le contestaron: Maestro, deseamos ver una señal de Ti.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 Pero Él les respondió: Una generación malvada y adúltera demanda señal milagrosa, pero no le será dada otra señal que la señal del profeta Jonás.
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 Porque como Jonás estaba en el vientre del gran pez tres días y tres noches, así estará el Hijo del Hombre en el corazón de la tierra tres días y tres noches.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Los varones de Nínive se levantarán en el juicio contra esta generación y la condenarán, porque se arrepintieron ante la predicación de Jonás. Y en este lugar está [Alguien] mayor que Jonás.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
42 Una reina del Sur se levantará en el juicio contra esta generación y la condenará, porque vino desde los confines de la tierra para oír la sabiduría de Salomón. Y en este lugar está [Alguien] mayor que Salomón.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
43 Ahora bien, cuando el espíritu impuro sale del hombre, se va por lugares secos y busca reposo, pero no [lo] halla
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
44 y dice: Volveré a mi casa de donde salí. Al llegar la halla desocupada, barrida y en orden.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 Entonces va, toma consigo otros siete espíritus peores que él, entran y viven allí. Y el estado final de aquel hombre es peor que el primero. Así también acontecerá a esta generación perversa.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
46 Mientras Él aún hablaba a la multitud, la madre [de Él] y sus hermanos estaban afuera y querían hablarle.
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Alguien le dijo: Mira, tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera y quieren hablarte.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 Pero Él respondió: ¿Quién es mi madre, y quiénes son mis hermanos?
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49 Extendió su mano sobre sus discípulos y dijo: Aquí están mi madre y mis hermanos.
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Porque cualquiera que hace la voluntad de mi Padre celestial es mi hermano, hermana y madre.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

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).
There has been a great question raised touching the late lesson of the Gospel, to the solution of which I am unequal by any power of mine own; but "our sufficiency is of God," to whatever degree we are capable of receiving His aid.

But Luke saith, "On a double Sabbath." Now what is a double Sabbath? When the cessation from toil is twofold, both that of the regular Sabbath, and that of another feast coming upon it. For they call every cessation from toil, a sabbath.

For when the unclean spirit of folly has gone forth, and when afterwards he finds them not waiting upon God, but occupied with mere worldly questions, then, "taking seven other spirits more wicked than himself," and inflating the minds of these men with the notion of their being able to conceive of something beyond God, and having fitly prepared them …

Whereas, if they were in discord, neither could this have been pointed out, and the doctrine itself had long since been brought to nought: "for every kingdom," saith He, "divided against itself shall not stand."
