1 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ παλιν ειπεν αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγων

1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:

1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

2 ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστισ εποιησεν γαμουσ τω υιω αυτου

2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;

2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,

3 και απεστειλεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου καλεσαι τουσ κεκλημενουσ εισ τουσ γαμουσ και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν

3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.

3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

4 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλουσ δουλουσ λεγων ειπατε τοισ κεκλημενοισ ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εισ τουσ γαμουσ

4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.

4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’

5 οι δε αμελησαντεσ απηλθον ο μεν εισ τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εισ την εμποριαν αυτου

5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

6 οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντεσ τουσ δουλουσ αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν

6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.

6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

7 και ακουσασ ο βασιλευσ εκεινοσ ωργισθη και πεμψασ τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τουσ φονεισ εκεινουσ και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν

7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.

7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 τοτε λεγει τοισ δουλοισ αυτου ο μεν γαμοσ ετοιμοσ εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι

8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

9 πορευεσθε ουν επι τασ διεξοδουσ των οδων και οσουσ αν ευρητε καλεσατε εισ τουσ γαμουσ

9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.

9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’

10 και εξελθοντεσ οι δουλοι εκεινοι εισ τασ οδουσ συνηγαγον παντασ οσουσ ευρον πονηρουσ τε και αγαθουσ και επλησθη ο γαμοσ ανακειμενων

10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.

10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

11 εισελθων δε ο βασιλευσ θεασασθαι τουσ ανακειμενουσ ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου

11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,

12 και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πωσ εισηλθεσ ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη

12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.

12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

13 τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευσ τοισ διακονοισ δησαντεσ αυτου ποδασ και χειρασ αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εισ το σκοτοσ το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων

13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.

13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’

14 πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι

14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.

14 For many are called, but few chosen.”

15 τοτε πορευθεντεσ οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπωσ αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω

15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

16 και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τουσ μαθητασ αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεισ και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενοσ ου γαρ βλεπεισ εισ προσωπον ανθρωπων

16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.

16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.

17 ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου

17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?

17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 γνουσ δε ο ιησουσ την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται

18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον

19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.

19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

20 και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη

20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?

20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

21 λεγουσιν αυτω καισαροσ τοτε λεγει αυτοισ αποδοτε ουν τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω

21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.

21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

22 και ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον

22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.

22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

23 εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντεσ μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον

23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

24 λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε μωσησ ειπεν εαν τισ αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου

24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.

24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

25 ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτοσ γαμησασ ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου

25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

26 ομοιωσ και ο δευτεροσ και ο τριτοσ εωσ των επτα

26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη

27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 εν τη ουν αναστασει τινοσ των επτα εσται γυνη παντεσ γαρ εσχον αυτην

28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

29 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου

29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ωσ αγγελοι του θεου εν ουρανω εισιν

30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

31 περι δε τησ αναστασεωσ των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντοσ

31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 εγω ειμι ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ θεοσ νεκρων αλλα ζωντων

32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 και ακουσαντεσ οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου

33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.

33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντεσ οτι εφιμωσεν τουσ σαδδουκαιουσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο

34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

35 και επηρωτησεν εισ εξ αυτων νομικοσ πειραζων αυτον και λεγων

35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:

35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

36 διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω

36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

37 ο δε ιησουσ εφη αυτω αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη καρδια σου και εν ολη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου

37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.

37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη

38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον

39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 εν ταυταισ ταισ δυσιν εντολαισ ολοσ ο νομοσ και οι προφηται κρεμανται

40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.

40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41 συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο ιησουσ

41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινοσ υιοσ εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαυιδ

42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.

42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

43 λεγει αυτοισ πωσ ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων

43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:

43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου

44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?

44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?

45 ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πωσ υιοσ αυτου εστιν

45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?

45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

46 και ουδεισ εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τισ απ εκεινησ τησ ημερασ επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι

46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.

46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

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 22:2 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XL)
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Commentary 22:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXIX)
Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.
