1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοισ προσ το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
1 Y PROPÚSOLES también una parábola sobre que es necesario orar siempre, y no desmayar,
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 λεγων κριτησ τισ ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενοσ και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενοσ
2 Diciendo: Había un juez en una ciudad, el cual ni temía á Dios, ni respetaba á hombre.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προσ αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
3 Había también en aquella ciudad una viuda, la cual venía á él diciendo: Hazme justicia de mi adversario.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
4 Pero él no quiso por algún tiempo; mas después de esto dijo dentro de sí: Aunque ni temo á Dios, ni tengo respeto á hombre,
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εισ τελοσ ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
5 Todavía, porque esta viuda me es molesta, le haré justicia, porque al fin no venga y me muela.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ ακουσατε τι ο κριτησ τησ αδικιασ λεγει
6 Y dijo el Señor: Oid lo que dice el juez injusto.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 ο δε θεοσ ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προσ αυτον ημερασ και νυκτοσ και μακροθυμων επ αυτοισ
7 ¿Y Dios no hará justicia á sus escogidos, que claman á él día y noche, aunque sea longánime acerca de ellos?
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι τησ γησ
8 Os digo que los defenderá presto. Empero cuando el Hijo del hombre viniere, ¿hallará fe en la tierra?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 ειπεν δε προσ τινασ τουσ πεποιθοτασ εφ εαυτοισ οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντασ τουσ λοιπουσ την παραβολην ταυτην
9 Y dijo también á unos que confiaban de sí como justos, y menospreciaban á los otros, esta parábola:
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εισ το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εισ φαρισαιοσ και ο ετεροσ τελωνησ
10 Dos hombres subieron al templo á orar: el uno Fariseo, el otro publicano.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 ο φαρισαιοσ σταθεισ προσ εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεοσ ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγεσ αδικοι μοιχοι η και ωσ ουτοσ ο τελωνησ
11 El Fariseo, en pie, oraba consigo de esta manera: Dios, te doy gracias, que no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano;
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 νηστευω δισ του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
12 Ayuno dos veces á la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que poseo.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 και ο τελωνησ μακροθεν εστωσ ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τουσ οφθαλμουσ εισ τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εισ το στηθοσ αυτου λεγων ο θεοσ ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
13 Mas el publicano estando lejos no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que hería su pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio á mí pecador.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτοσ δεδικαιωμενοσ εισ τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινοσ οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
14 Os digo que éste descendió á su casa justificado antes que el otro; porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντεσ δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοισ
15 Y traían á él los niños para que los tocase; lo cual viendo los discípulos les reñían.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προσ με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
16 Mas Jesús llamándolos, dijo: Dejad los niños venir á mí, y no los impidáis; porque de tales es el reino de Dios.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν οσ εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ωσ παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εισ αυτην
17 De cierto os digo, que cualquiera que no recibiere el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 και επηρωτησεν τισ αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησασ ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω
18 Y preguntóle un príncipe, diciendo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para poseer la vida eterna?
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησουσ τι με λεγεισ αγαθον ουδεισ αγαθοσ ει μη εισ ο θεοσ
19 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? ninguno hay bueno sino sólo Dios.
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 τασ εντολασ οιδασ μη μοιχευσησ μη φονευσησ μη κλεψησ μη ψευδομαρτυρησησ τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
20 Los mandamientos sabes: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου
21 Y él dijo: Todas estas cosas he guardado desde mi juventud.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεισ πωλησον και διαδοσ πτωχοισ και εξεισ θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
22 Y Jesús, oído esto, le dijo: Aun te falta una cosa: vende todo lo que tienes, y da á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 ο δε ακουσασ ταυτα περιλυποσ εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιοσ σφοδρα
23 Entonces él, oídas estas cosas, se puso muy triste, porque era muy rico.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησουσ περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πωσ δυσκολωσ οι τα χρηματα εχοντεσ εισελευσονται εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
24 Y viendo Jesús que se había entristecido mucho, dijo: ¡Cuán dificultosamente entrarán en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιασ ραφιδοσ εισελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
25 Porque más fácil cosa es entrar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que un rico entrar en el reino de Dios.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντεσ και τισ δυναται σωθηναι
26 Y los que lo oían, dijeron: ¿Y quién podrá ser salvo?
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποισ δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
27 Y él [les] dijo: Lo que es imposible para con los hombres, posible es para Dios.
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 ειπεν δε πετροσ ιδου ημεισ αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
28 Entonces Pedro dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado las posesiones nuestras, y te hemos seguido.
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεισ εστιν οσ αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεισ η αδελφουσ η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
29 Y él les dijo: De cierto os digo, que nadie hay que haya dejado casa, padres, ó hermanos, ó mujer, ó hijos, por el reino de Dios,
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
30 οσ ου μη απολαβη πολλαπλασιονα εν τω καιρω τουτω και εν τω αιωνι τω ερχομενω ζωην αιωνιον
30 Que no haya de recibir mucho más en este tiempo, y en el siglo venidero la vida eterna.
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
31 παραλαβων δε τουσ δωδεκα ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
31 Y Jesús, tomando á los doce, les dijo: He aquí subimos á Jerusalem, y serán cumplidas todas las cosas que fueron escritas por los profetas, del Hijo del hombre.
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοισ εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
32 Porque será entregado á las gentes, y será escarnecido, é injuriado, y escupido.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 και μαστιγωσαντεσ αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
33 Y después que le hubieren azotado, le matarán: mas al tercer día resucitará.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
34 Pero ellos nada de estas cosas entendían, y esta palabra les era encubierta, y no entendían lo que se decía.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εισ ιεριχω τυφλοσ τισ εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
35 Y aconteció que acercándose él á Jericó, un ciego estaba sentado junto al camino mendigando;
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 ακουσασ δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
36 El cual como oyó la gente que pasaba, preguntó qué era aquello.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ παρερχεται
37 Y dijéronle que pasaba Jesús Nazareno.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
38 Entonces dió voces, diciendo: Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 και οι προαγοντεσ επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτοσ δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
39 Y los que iban delante, le reñían que callase; mas él clamaba mucho más: Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 σταθεισ δε ο ιησουσ εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προσ αυτον εγγισαντοσ δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
40 Jesús entonces parándose, mandó traerle á sí: y como él llegó, le preguntó,
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεισ ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
41 Diciendo: ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y él dijo: Señor, que vea.
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 και ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε
42 Y Jesús le dijo: Ve, tu fe te ha hecho salvo.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πασ ο λαοσ ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
43 Y luego vió, y le seguía, glorificando á Dios: y todo el pueblo como lo vió, dió á Dios alabanza.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

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 lesson of the Holy Gospel builds us up unto the duty of praying and believing, and of not putting our trust in ourselves, but in the Lord. What greater encouragement to prayer than the parable which is proposed to us of the unjust judge?

And to the person who said to Him, "Good Master," He confessed that God who is truly good, saying, "Why callest thou Me good: there is One who is good, the Father in the heavens;" and they assert that in this passage the Æons receive the name of heavens.
It were well for him to imitate the Publican, and not swell as the Pharisee, "who went up into the temple," and boasted of his deserts, and covered up his wounds.

For instance, to them that strip themselves of all that they have for His sake He promised to give an hundred fold in the present world, and life eternal in that which is to come; by the things already given making the future also credible.

The eighth passage is, That they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent; and There is none good save one, that is, God. The solution of this appears to me very easy.
