WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη, οστις εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατας εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου.
1 PORQUE el reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre, padre de familia, que salió por la mañana á ajustar obreros para su viña.
1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 και συμφωνησας μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτους εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου.
2 Y habiéndose concertado con los obreros en un denario al día, los envió á su viña.
2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλους εστωτας εν τη αγορα αργους,
3 Y saliendo cerca de la hora de las tres, vió otros que estaban en la plaza ociosos;
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4 και εκεινοις ειπεν· υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν.
4 Y les dijo: Id también vosotros á mi viña, y os daré lo que fuere justo. Y ellos fueron.
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
5 οι δε απηλθον. παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτως.
5 Salió otra vez cerca de las horas sexta y nona, é hizo lo mismo.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλους εστωτας αργους, και λεγει αυτοις· τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι;
6 Y saliendo cerca de la hora undécima, halló otros que estaban ociosos; y díceles: ¿Por qué estáis aquí todo el día ociosos?
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
7 λεγουσιν αυτω· οτι ουδεις ημας εμισθωσατο. λεγει αυτοις· υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε.
7 Dícenle: Porque nadie nos ha ajustado. Díceles: Id también vosotros á la viña, y recibiréis lo que fuere justo.
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
8 οψιας δε γενομενης λεγει ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τω επιτροπω αυτου· καλεσον τους εργατας και αποδος αυτοις τον μισθον, αρξαμενος απο των εσχατων εως των πρωτων.
8 Y cuando fué la tarde del día, el señor de la viña dijo á su mayordomo: Llama á los obreros y págales el jornal, comenzando desde los postreros hasta los primeros.
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
9 και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον.
9 Y viniendo los que [habían ido] cerca de la hora undécima, recibieron cada uno un denario.
9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
10 ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται, και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον.
10 Y viniendo también los primeros, pensaron que habían de recibir más; pero también ellos recibieron cada uno un denario.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 λαβοντες δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
11 Y tomándolo, murmuraban contra el padre de la familia,
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 λεγοντες οτι ουτοι οι εσχατοι μιαν ωραν εποιησαν, και ισους ημιν αυτους εποιησας τοις βαστασασιν το βαρος της ημερας και τον καυσωνα.
12 Diciendo: Estos postreros sólo han trabajado una hora, y los has hecho iguales á nosotros, que hemos llevado la carga y el calor del día.
12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
13 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ενι αυτων· εταιρε, ουκ αδικω σε· ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησας μοι;
13 Y él respondiendo, dijo á uno de ellos: Amigo, no te hago agravio; ¿no te concertaste conmigo por un denario?
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
14 αρον το σον και υπαγε· θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ως και σοι·
14 Toma lo que es tuyo, y vete; mas quiero dar á este postrero, como á ti.
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 η ουκ εξεστιν μοι ποιησαι ο θελω εν τοις εμοις; ει ο οφθαλμος σου πονηρος εστιν οτι εγω αγαθος ειμι;
15 ¿No me es lícito á mí hacer lo que quiero con lo mío? ó ¿es malo tu ojo, porque yo soy bueno?
15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
16 ουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι· πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι, ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι.
16 Así los primeros serán postreros, y los postreros primeros: porque muchos son llamados, mas pocos escogidos.
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
17 και αναβαινων ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοις·
17 Y subiendo Jesús á Jerusalem, tomó sus doce discípulos aparte en el camino, y les dijo:
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
18 ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα, και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοις αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω,
18 He aquí subimos á Jerusalem, y el Hijo del hombre será entregado á los príncipes de los sacerdotes y á los escribas, y le condenarán á muerte;
18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19 και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοις εθνεσιν εις το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι, και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται.
19 Y le entregarán á los Gentiles para que [le] escarnezcan, y azoten, y crucifiquen; mas al tercer día resucitará.
19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
20 τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου.
20 Entonces se llegó á él la madre de los hijos de Zebedeo con sus hijos, adorándo[le], y pidiéndole algo.
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21 ο δε ειπεν αυτη· τι θελεις; λεγει αυτω· ειπε ινα καθισωσιν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι μου εις εκ δεξιων σου και εις εξ ευωνυμων σου εν τη βασιλεια σου.
21 Y él le dijo: ¿Qué quieres? Ella le dijo: Di que se sienten estos dos hijos míos, el uno á tu mano derecha, y el otro á tu izquierda, en tu reino.
21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
22 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν· ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε. δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω μελλω πινειν, η το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι; λεγουσιν αυτω· δυναμεθα.
22 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo: No sabéis lo que pedís: ¿podéis beber el vaso que yo he de beber, y ser bautizados del bautismo de que yo soy bautizado? Y ellos le dicen: Podemos.
22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
23 και λεγει αυτοις· το μεν ποτηριον μου πιεσθε, και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε· το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων μου ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι, αλλ οις ητοιμασται [υπο του πατρος μου].
23 Y él les dice: A la verdad mi vaso beberéis, y del bautismo de que yo soy bautizado, seréis bautizados; mas el sentaros á mi mano derecha y á mi izquierda, no es mío dar[lo], sino á aquellos para quienes está aparejado de mi Padre.
23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων.
24 Y como los diez oyeron esto, se enojaron de los dos hermanos.
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτους ειπεν· οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντες των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων.
25 Entonces Jesús llamándolos, dijo: Sabéis que los príncipes de los Gentiles se enseñorean sobre ellos, y los que son grandes ejercen sobre ellos potestad.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26 ουχ ουτως εσται εν υμιν, αλλ ος εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγας γενεσθαι, εσται υμων διακονος,
26 Mas entre vosotros no será así; sino el que quisiere entre vosotros hacerse grande, será vuestro servidor;
26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
27 και ος εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος, εσται υμων δουλος·
27 Y el que quisiere entre vosotros ser el primero, será vuestro siervo:
27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
28 ωσπερ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι, αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων.
28 Como el Hijo del hombre no vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29 και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς.
29 Entonces saliendo ellos de Jericó, le seguía gran compañía.
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον, ακουσαντες οτι ιησους παραγει, εκραξαν λεγοντες· ελεησον ημας, κυριε, υιος δαυιδ.
30 Y he aquí dos ciegos sentados junto al camino, como oyeron que Jesús pasaba, clamaron, diciendo: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de nosotros.
30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
31 ο δε οχλος επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα σιωπησωσιν· οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντες· ελεησον ημας, κυριε, υιος δαυιδ.
31 Y la gente les reñía para que callasen; mas ellos clamaban más, diciendo: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de nosotros.
31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
32 και στας ο ιησους εφωνησεν αυτους και ειπεν· τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν;
32 Y parándose Jesús, los llamó, y dijo: ¿Qué queréis que haga por vosotros?
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 λεγουσιν αυτω· κυριε, ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι.
33 Ellos le dicen: Señor, que sean abiertos nuestros ojos.
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο ιησους ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων, και ευθεως ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι, και ηκολουθησαν αυτω.
34 Entonces Jesús, teniendo misericordia [de ellos], les tocó los ojos, y luego sus ojos recibieron la vista; y le siguieron.
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

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).
Ye have heard out of the Holy Gospel a parable well suited to the present season, concerning the labourers in the vineyard. For now is the time of the material vintage. Now there is also a spiritual vintage, wherein God rejoiceth in the fruit of His vineyard. For we cultivate God, and God cultivateth us.

He goeth not up at once to Jerusalem when He is come out of Galilee, but having first wrought miracles, and having stopped the mouths of Pharisees, and having discoursed with His disciples of renouncing possessions: for, "if thou wilt be perfect," saith He, "sell that thou hast:" and of virginity, "He that is able to receive, let him receive …

They maintain also, that these thirty Æons are most plainly indicated in the parable of the labourers sent into the vineyard.
Of these two, the two blind men also are a figure, who sat by the way side, to whom the Lord gave sight. And if ye pay attention to the Scriptures, ye will find the two Churches, which are not two but One, figured out in many places.

… of the heavens, that whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in Heaven." How then is it not "His to give to sit on His right hand, and on His left," when He saith, "I will give thee"?
