PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Entonces unos fariseos y escribas de Jerusalén se acercaron a Jesús, y [le] preguntaron:
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
1 Τότε προσέρχονται τῷ Ἰησοῦ οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες·
2 ¿Por qué tus discípulos quebrantan la tradición de los ancianos? Porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
2 διατί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσι τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; οὐ γὰρ νίπτονται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ὅταν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.
3 Él les replicó: ¿Por qué también ustedes quebrantan el Mandamiento de Dios por causa de su tradición?
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
3 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· διατί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν;
4 Porque Dios dijo: Honra al padre y a la madre. Y: El que maldiga al padre o a la madre, muera sin perdón.
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
4 ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων· τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα· καί· ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.
5 Pero ustedes dicen: Cualquiera que diga al padre o a la madre: Es ofrenda lo que pudieras recibir de mí como beneficio,
5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
5 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς, καὶ οὐ μὴ τιμήσῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ·
6 de ningún modo tendrá que honrar a su padre. Así invalidaron ustedes la Palabra de Dios por su tradición.
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
6 καὶ ἠκυρώσατε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν.
7 ¡Hipócritas! Bien profetizó Isaías con respecto a ustedes:
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
7 ὑποκριταί! καλῶς προεφήτευσε περὶ ὑμῶν Ἡσαΐας λέγων·
8 Este pueblo me honra con [sus] labios, pero su corazón está muy lejos de Mí.
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
8 ἐγγίζει μοι ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς χείλεσί με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ·
9 En vano me adoran, y enseñan preceptos de hombres como doctrinas.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
9 μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
10 Después de llamar a la muchedumbre les dijo: Oigan y entiendan:
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
10 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε·
11 Lo que entra en la boca no contamina al hombre, sino lo que sale de la boca.
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
11 οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
12 Entonces los discípulos se acercaron y le preguntaron: ¿Supiste que los fariseos que oyeron la Palabra se ofendieron?
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
12 τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἶπον αὐτῷ· οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον;
13 El respondió: Toda planta que mi Padre celestial no sembró, será desarraigada.
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
13 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε· πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται.
14 Déjenlos, son guías ciegos. Si un ciego guía a otro ciego, ambos caerán en un hoyo.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
14 ἄφετε αὐτούς· ὁδηγοί εἰσι τυφλοὶ τυφλῶν· τυφλὸς δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται.
15 Pedro le solicitó: Acláranos la parábola.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
15 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην.
16 Él respondió: ¿Ustedes tampoco entienden?
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε;
17 ¿No entienden que todo lo que entra en la boca va al estómago y es echado en la letrina?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
17 οὔπω νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν χωρεῖ καὶ εἰς ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκβάλλεται;
18 Pero las cosas que salen de la boca provienen del corazón y contaminan al hombre.
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
18 τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
19 Porque del corazón provienen malos pensamientos, homicidios, adulterios, fornicaciones, robos, falsos testimonios y difamaciones.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
19 ἐκ γὰρ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχονται διαλογισμοὶ πονηροί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, βλασφημίαι.
20 Estas cosas contaminan al hombre, pero comer con manos sin lavar no contamina.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
20 ταῦτά ἐστι τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον· τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶ φαγεῖν οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
21 Al salir de allí Jesús fue a la región de Tiro y Sidón.
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
21 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος.
22 Vio a una mujer cananea que salía de aquellos lugares y clamaba: ¡Hijo de David, ten compasión de mí, Señor! Mi hija está horriblemente endemoniada.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
22 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκραύγασεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα· ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε, υἱὲ Δαυΐδ· ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται.
23 Pero Él no le respondió. Entonces sus discípulos se le acercaron y le rogaban: Despídela, porque grita detrás de nosotros.
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
23 ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν.
24 Entonces Él respondió: No fui enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas de [la] casa de Israel.
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
24 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
25 Pero ella se acercó, se postró ante Él y le rogó: ¡Señor, ayúdame!
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
25 ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα· Κύριε, βοήθει μοι.
26 Él respondió: No está bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echar [lo] a los perrillos.
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
26 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστι καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις.
27 Entonces ella dijo: Sí, Señor, pero aun los perrillos comen las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
27 ἡ δὲ εἶπε· ναί, Κύριε· καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν.
28 Jesús le respondió: ¡Oh mujer, grande es tu fe! Que se haga contigo como quieres. Y su hija fue sanada desde aquel momento.
28 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
28 τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις! γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
29 Cuando Jesús salió de allí siguió a una costa del mar de Galilea. Subió a la colina y se sentó.
29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
29 Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἦλθε παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὸ ὄρος ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ.
30 Llegó a Él [muchísima gente] que llevaba cojos, lisiados, ciegos, mudos y muchos otros. Los colocaron a sus pies y los sanó.
30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
30 καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἔχοντες μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν χωλούς, τυφλούς, κωφούς, κυλλοὺς καὶ ἑτέρους πολλούς, καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς,
31 La muchedumbre se asombró al ver que los mudos hablaban, los lisiados sanaban, los cojos andaban y los ciegos veían. Y alabaron al Dios de Israel.
31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
31 ὥστε τοὺς ὄχλους θαυμάσαι βλέποντας κωφοὺς [ἀκούοντας, ἀλάλους] λαλοῦντας, κυλλοὺς ὑγιεῖς, χωλοὺς περιπατοῦντας καὶ τυφλοὺς βλέποντας· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
32 Entonces Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo: Tengo compasión de la muchedumbre, porque hace tres días están conmigo y no tienen qué comer. No quiero despedirlos en ayunas, no sea que desfallezcan en el camino.
32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
32 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπε· σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσί μοι καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσι τί φάγωσι· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
33 Entonces los discípulos le preguntaron: ¿Dónde [conseguiremos] tantos panes en un lugar despoblado para saciar a una multitud tan grande?
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
33 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον;
34 Jesús les preguntó: ¿Cuántos panes tienen? Y ellos contestaron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
34 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια.
35 Mandó a la muchedumbre que se recostara sobre la tierra.
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
35 καὶ ἐκέλευσε τοῖς ὄχλοις ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
36 Tomó los siete panes y los peces, dio gracias, partió y daba a los discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud.
36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
36 καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας, εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασε καὶ ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
37 Comieron todos y se saciaron, y recogieron siete canastas llenas de los trozos sobrantes.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
37 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις·
38 Los que [comieron] fueron 4.000 hombres, sin [contar] mujeres y niños.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
38 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
39 Después de despedir a la multitud, subió a la barca y llegó a las cercanías de Magadán.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
39 καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἐνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγδαλά.

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).

  1. Commentary 15:21 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXVII)

    This woman of Canaan, who has just now been brought before us in the lesson of the Gospel, shows us an example of humility, and the way of godliness; shows us how to rise from humility unto exaltation.

  2. Commentary 15:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LI)

    Then; when? when He had wrought His countless miracles; when He had healed the infirm by the touch of the hem of His garment. For even with this intent doth the evangelist mark the time, that He might signify their unspeakable wickedness, by nothing repressed.
