WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ μετηρεν απο τησ γαλιλαιασ και ηλθεν εισ τα ορια τησ ιουδαιασ περαν του ιορδανου

1 Y ACONTECIÓ que acabando Jesús estas palabras, se pasó de Galilea, y vino á los términos de Judea, pasado el Jordán.

1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ εκει

2 Y le siguieron muchas gentes, y los sanó allí.

2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

3 και προσηλθον αυτω οι φαρισαιοι πειραζοντεσ αυτον και λεγοντεσ αυτω ει εξεστιν ανθρωπω απολυσαι την γυναικα αυτου κατα πασαν αιτιαν

3 Entonces se llegaron á él los Fariseos, tentándole, y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al hombre repudiar á su mujer por cualquiera causa?

3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

4 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ ανεγνωτε οτι ο ποιησασ απ αρχησ αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτουσ

4 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que [los] hizo al principio, macho y hembra los hizo,

4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

5 και ειπεν ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωποσ τον πατερα και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται τη γυναικι αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εισ σαρκα μιαν

5 Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?

5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?

6 ωστε ουκετι εισιν δυο αλλα σαρξ μια ο ουν ο θεοσ συνεζευξεν ανθρωποσ μη χωριζετω

6 Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no [lo] aparte el hombre.

6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

7 λεγουσιν αυτω τι ουν μωσησ ενετειλατο δουναι βιβλιον αποστασιου και απολυσαι αυτην

7 Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?

7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”

8 λεγει αυτοισ οτι μωσησ προσ την σκληροκαρδιαν υμων επετρεψεν υμιν απολυσαι τασ γυναικασ υμων απ αρχησ δε ου γεγονεν ουτωσ

8 Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.

8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

9 λεγω δε υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου μη επι πορνεια και γαμηση αλλην μοιχαται και ο απολελυμενην γαμησασ μοιχαται

9 Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.

9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

10 λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ει ουτωσ εστιν η αιτια του ανθρωπου μετα τησ γυναικοσ ου συμφερει γαμησαι

10 Dícenle sus discípulos: Si así es la condición del hombre con su mujer, no conviene casarse.

10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

11 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ου παντεσ χωρουσιν τον λογον τουτον αλλ οισ δεδοται

11 Entonces él les dijo: No todos reciben esta palabra, sino aquellos á quienes es dado.

11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

12 εισιν γαρ ευνουχοι οιτινεσ εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ εγεννηθησαν ουτωσ και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινεσ ευνουχισθησαν υπο των ανθρωπων και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινεσ ευνουχισαν εαυτουσ δια την βασιλειαν των ουρανων ο δυναμενοσ χωρειν χωρειτω

12 Porque hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre; y hay eunucos, que son hechos eunucos por los hombres; y hay eunucos que se hicieron á sí mismos eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos; el que pueda ser capaz de eso, séalo.

12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

13 τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω παιδια ινα τασ χειρασ επιθη αυτοισ και προσευξηται οι δε μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοισ

13 Entonces le fueron presentados unos niños, para que pusiese las manos sobre ellos, y orase; y los discípulos les riñeron.

13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

14 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια και μη κωλυετε αυτα ελθειν προσ με των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων

14 Y Jesús dijo: Dejad á los niños, y no les impidáis de venir á mí; porque de los tales es el reino de los cielos.

14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

15 και επιθεισ αυτοισ τασ χειρασ επορευθη εκειθεν

15 Y habiendo puesto sobre ellos las manos, se partió de allí.

15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

16 και ιδου εισ προσελθων ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε αγαθε τι αγαθον ποιησω ινα εχω ζωην αιωνιον

16 Y he aquí, uno llegándose le dijo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué bien haré para tener la vida eterna?

16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

17 ο δε ειπεν αυτω τι με λεγεισ αγαθον ουδεισ αγαθοσ ει μη εισ ο θεοσ ει δε θελεισ εισελθειν εισ την ζωην τηρησον τασ εντολασ

17 Y él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno [es] bueno sino uno, [es á saber], Dios: y si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos.

17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18 λεγει αυτω ποιασ ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν το ου φονευσεισ ου μοιχευσεισ ου κλεψεισ ου ψευδομαρτυρησεισ

18 Dícele: ¿Cuáles? Y Jesús dijo: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio:

18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

19 τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα και αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον

19 Honra á tu padre y á tu madre: y, Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20 λεγει αυτω ο νεανισκοσ παντα ταυτα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου τι ετι υστερω

20 Dícele el mancebo: Todo esto guardé desde mi juventud: ¿qué más me falta?

20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21 εφη αυτω ο ιησουσ ει θελεισ τελειοσ ειναι υπαγε πωλησον σου τα υπαρχοντα και δοσ πτωχοισ και εξεισ θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι

21 Dícele Jesús: Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes, y da[lo] á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

22 ακουσασ δε ο νεανισκοσ τον λογον απηλθεν λυπουμενοσ ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα

22 Y oyendo el mancebo esta palabra, se fué triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.

22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

23 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου αμην λεγω υμιν οτι δυσκολωσ πλουσιοσ εισελευσεται εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων

23 Entonces Jesús dijo á sus discípulos: De cierto os digo, que un rico difícilmente entrará en el reino de los cielos.

23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

24 παλιν δε λεγω υμιν ευκοπωτερον εστιν καμηλον δια τρυπηματοσ ραφιδοσ διελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν

24 Mas os digo, que más liviano trabajo es pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.

24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

25 ακουσαντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου εξεπλησσοντο σφοδρα λεγοντεσ τισ αρα δυναται σωθηναι

25 Mas sus discípulos, oyendo [estas cosas], se espantaron en gran manera, diciendo: ¿Quién pues podrá ser salvo?

25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 εμβλεψασ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ παρα ανθρωποισ τουτο αδυνατον εστιν παρα δε θεω παντα δυνατα

26 Y mirándo[los] Jesús, les dijo: Para con los hombres imposible es esto; mas para con Dios todo es posible.

26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27 τοτε αποκριθεισ ο πετροσ ειπεν αυτω ιδου ημεισ αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι τι αρα εσται ημιν

27 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado todo, y te hemos seguido: ¿qué pues tendremos?

27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”

28 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεισ οι ακολουθησαντεσ μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξησ αυτου καθισεσθε και υμεισ επι δωδεκα θρονουσ κρινοντεσ τασ δωδεκα φυλασ του ισραηλ

28 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo, que vosotros que me habéis seguido, en la regeneración, cuando se sentará el Hijo del hombre en el trono de su gloria, vosotros también os sentaréis sobre doce tronos, para juzgar á las doce tribus de Israel.

28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 και πασ οσ αφηκεν οικιασ η αδελφουσ η αδελφασ η πατερα η μητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρουσ ενεκεν του ονοματοσ μου εκατονταπλασιονα ληψεται και ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησει

29 Y cualquiera que dejare casas, ó hermanos, ó hermanas, ó padre, ó madre, ó mujer, ó hijos, ó tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces tanto, y heredará la vida eterna.

29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

30 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι

30 Mas muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros primeros.

30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

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).

Commentary 19:28 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XIX)
We heard in the Gospel that the Lord, rejoicing greatly in Spirit, said unto God the Father, "I confess to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

Commentary 19:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXII)
Having constantly left Judæa on account of the envy of those men, now He frequents it from this time forth, because the passion was to be nigh at hand; He goeth not up, however, unto Jerusalem for a while, but "into the coasts of Judæa." "And," when He was come, "great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them."

Quotes verse 19:12 Justin Martyr, First Apology (Chapters XIII–XVI)
… her that is divorced from another husband, committeth adultery."

Quotes verse 19:30 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XXII)
For this reason did the Lord declare that the first should in truth be last, and the last first. And the prophet, too, indicates the same, saying, "instead of fathers, children have been born unto thee." For the Lord, having been born "the First-begotten of the dead," and receiving into His bosom the ancient fathers, has regenerated them into the …

… how he may please the Lord; but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife."
