1 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que entrando en casa de un príncipe de los Fariseos un sábado á comer pan, ellos le acechaban.
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
2 And behold, there was before him a certain man which had the dropsy.
2 Y he aquí un hombre hidrópico estaba delante de él.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?
3 Y respondiendo Jesús, habló á los doctores de la ley y á los Fariseos, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
4 Y ellos callaron. Entonces él tomándole, le sanó, y despidióle.
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?
5 Y respondiendo á ellos dijo: ¿El asno ó el buey de cuál de vosotros caerá en [algún] pozo, y no lo sacará luego en día de sábado?
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
6 And they could not answer again unto these things.
6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 And he spake a parable unto those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,
7 Y observando cómo escogían los primeros asientos á la mesa, propuso una parábola á los convidados, diciéndoles:
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him,
8 Cuando fueres convidado de alguno á bodas, no te sientes en el primer lugar, no sea que otro más honrado que tú esté por él convidado,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
9 Y viniendo el que te llamó á ti y á él, te diga: Da lugar á éste: y entonces comiences con vergüenza á tener el lugar último.
9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.
10 Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan á la mesa.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
11 For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
11 Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
12 Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida ó cena, no llames á tus amigos, ni á tus hermanos, ni á tus parientes, ni á vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan á convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
13 Mas cuando haces banquete, llama á los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos;
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith ]to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
14 Y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden retribuir; mas te será recompensado en la resurrección de los justos.
14 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados á la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el reino de los cielos.
15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
16 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:
16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una grande cena, y convidó á muchos.
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all ]things are now ready.
17 Y á la hora de la cena envió á su siervo á decir á los convidados: Venid, que ya está todo aparejado.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 And they all with one [consent ]began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
18 Y comenzaron todos á una á excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito salir y verla; te ruego que me des por excusado.
18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
19 Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy á probarlos; ruégote que me des por excusado.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
20 Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.
21 Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas á su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de la familia, dijo á su siervo: Ve presto por las plazas y por las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá los pobres, los mancos, y cojos, y ciegos.
21 “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
22 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.
22 Y dijo el siervo: Señor, hecho es como mandaste, y aun hay lugar.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them ]to come in, that my house may be filled.
23 Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.
23 “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
24 Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron llamados, gustará mi cena.
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
25 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,
25 Y muchas gentes iban con él; y volviéndose les dijo:
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
26 Si alguno viene á mí, y no aborrece á su padre, y madre, y mujer, é hijos, y hermanos, y hermanas, y aun también su vida, no puede ser mi discípulo.
26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
27 Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith ]to complete it?
28 Porque ¿cuál de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no cuenta primero sentado los gastos, si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla?
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.
32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
34 Buena es la sal; mas si aun la sal fuere desvanecida, ¿con qué se adobará?
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men ]cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
35 Ni para la tierra, ni para el muladar es buena; fuera la arrojan. Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

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).
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.

They then represent the Saviour as having indicated this twofold faculty: first, the sustaining power, when He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross (Stauros), and follow after me, cannot be my disciple;" and again, "Taking up the cross, follow me;" but the separating power when He said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword." They also maintain …
Thus both of them, being now Thine, were building a tower at the necessary cost, --of forsaking all that they had and following Thee.

For this reason Luke saith, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple;" not commanding simply to hate them, since this were even quite contrary to the law; but "when one desires to be loved more …
