WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 وَفِيمَا هُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، قَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱنْظُرْ! مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِجَارَةُ! وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْنِيَةُ!».
1 Y SALIENDO del templo, le dice uno de sus discípulos: Maestro, mira qué piedras, y qué edificios.
1 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”
2 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتَنْظُرُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبْنِيَةَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ؟ لَا يُتْرَكُ حَجَرٌ عَلَى حَجَرٍ لَا يُنْقَضُ».
2 Y Jesús respondiendo, le dijo: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? no quedará piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.
2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”
3 وَفِيمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ، تُجَاهَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، سَأَلَهُ بُطْرُسُ وَيَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ:
3 Y sentándose en el monte de las Olivas delante del templo, le preguntaron aparte Pedro y Jacobo y Juan y Andrés:
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 «قُلْ لَنَا مَتَى يَكُونُ هَذَا؟ وَمَا هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ عِنْدَمَا يَتِمُّ جَمِيعُ هَذَا؟».
4 Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas? ¿y qué señal [habrá] cuando todas estas cosas han de cumplirse?
4 “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ: «ٱنْظُرُوا! لَا يُضِلُّكُمْ أَحَدٌ.
5 Y Jesús respondiéndoles, comenzó á decir: Mirad, que nadie os engañe;
5 Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِٱسْمِي قَائِلِينَ: إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ! وَيُضِلُّونَ كَثِيرِينَ.
6 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy [el Cristo]; y engañarán á muchos.
6 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and will lead many astray.
7 فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِحُرُوبٍ وَبِأَخْبَارِ حُرُوبٍ فَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا، لِأَنَّهَا لَابُدَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْمُنْتَهَى بَعْدُ.
7 Mas cuando oyereis de guerras y de rumores de guerras no os turbéis, porque conviene hacerse [así]; mas aun no [será] el fin.
7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 لِأَنَّهُ تَقُومُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ زَلَازِلُ فِي أَمَاكِنَ، وَتَكُونُ مَجَاعَاتٌ وَٱضْطِرَابَاتٌ. هَذِهِ مُبْتَدَأُ ٱلْأَوْجَاعِ.
8 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá terremotos en muchos lugares, y habrá hambres y alborotos; principios de dolores [serán] estos.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 فَٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى نُفُوسِكُمْ. لِأَنَّهُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى مَجَالِسَ، وَتُجْلَدُونَ فِي مَجَامِعَ، وَتُوقَفُونَ أَمَامَ وُلَاةٍ وَمُلُوكٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِي، شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ.
9 Mas vosotros mirad por vosotros: porque os entregarán en los concilios, y en sinagogas seréis azotados: y delante de presidentes y de reyes seréis llamados por causa de mí, en testimonio á ellos.
9 “But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.
10 وَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُكْرَزَ أَوَّلًا بِٱلْإِنْجِيلِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.
10 Y á todas las gentes conviene que el evangelio sea predicado antes.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
11 فَمَتَى سَاقُوكُمْ لِيُسَلِّمُوكُمْ، فَلَا تَعْتَنُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ بِمَا تَتَكَلَّمُونَ وَلَا تَهْتَمُّوا، بَلْ مَهْمَا أُعْطِيتُمْ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ فَبِذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمُوا. لِأَنْ لَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ بَلِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ.
11 Y cuando os trajeren para entregaros, no premeditéis qué habéis de decir, ni [lo] penséis: mas lo que os fuere dado en aquella hora, eso hablad; porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu Santo.
11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 وَسَيُسْلِمُ ٱلْأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَٱلْأَبُ وَلَدَهُ، وَيَقُومُ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ.
12 Y entregará á la muerte el hermano al hermano, y el padre al hijo: y se levantarán los hijos contra los padres, y los matarán.
12 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 وَتَكُونُونَ مُبْغَضِينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَصْبِرُ إِلَى ٱلْمُنْتَهَى فَهَذَا يَخْلُصُ.
13 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por mi nombre: mas el que perseverare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.
13 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 فَمَتَى نَظَرْتُمْ «رِجْسَةَ ٱلْخَرَابِ» ٱلَّتِي قَالَ عَنْهَا دَانِيآلُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ، قَائِمَةً حَيْثُ لَا يَنْبَغِي-لِيَفْهَمِ ٱلْقَارِئُ- فَحِينَئِذٍ لِيَهْرُبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فيِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ،
14 Empero cuando viereis la abominación de asolamiento, que fué dicha por el profeta Daniel, que estará donde no debe (el que lee, entienda), entonces los que estén en Judea huyan á los montes;
14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
15 وَٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ فَلَا يَنْزِلْ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَلَا يَدْخُلْ لِيَأْخُذَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا،
15 Y el que esté sobre el terrado, no descienda á la casa, ni entre para tomar algo de su casa;
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 وَٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ فَلَا يَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَهُ.
16 Y el que estuviere en el campo, no vuelva atrás á tomar su capa.
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
17 وَوَيْلٌ لِلْحَبَالَى وَٱلْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ!
17 Mas ¡ay de las preñadas, y de las que criaren en aquellos días!
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
18 وَصَلُّوا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ هَرَبُكُمْ فِي شِتَاءٍ.
18 Orad pues, que no acontezca vuestra huída en invierno.
18 Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
19 لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ضِيقٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ مُنْذُ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي خَلَقَهَا ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ.
19 Porque aquellos días serán de aflicción, cual nunca fué desde el principio de la creación que crió Dios, hasta este tiempo, ni será.
19 For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20 وَلَوْ لَمْ يُقَصِّرِ ٱلرَّبُّ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ، لَمْ يَخْلُصْ جَسَدٌ. وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَارَهُمْ، قَصَّرَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ.
20 Y si el Señor no hubiese abreviado aquellos días, ninguna carne se salvaría; mas por causa de los escogidos que él escogió, abrevió aquellos días.
20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
21 حِينَئِذٍ إِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ: هُوَذَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ هُنَا! أَوْ: هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ! فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوا.
21 Y entonces si alguno os dijere: He aquí, aquí está el Cristo; ó, He aquí, allí [está], no [le] creáis.
21 Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
22 لِأَنَّهُ سَيَقُومُ مُسَحَاءُ كَذَبَةٌ وَأَنْبِيَاءُ كَذَبَةٌ، وَيُعْطُونَ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ، لِكَيْ يُضِلُّوا لَوْ أَمْكَنَ ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ أَيْضًا.
22 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos y falsos profetas, y darán señales y prodigios, para engañar, si se pudiese hacer, aun á los escogidos.
22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
23 فَٱنْظُرُوا أَنْتُمْ. هَا أَنَا قَدْ سَبَقْتُ وَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ.
23 Mas vosotros mirad; os lo he dicho antes todo.
23 But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 «وَأَمَّا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلضِّيقِ، فَٱلشَّمْسُ تُظْلِمُ، وَٱلْقَمَرُ لَا يُعْطِي ضَوْءَهُ،
24 Empero en aquellos días, después de aquella aflicción, el sol se obscurecerá, y la luna no dará su resplandor;
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 وَنُجُومُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَتَسَاقَطُ، وَٱلْقُوَّاتُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تَتَزَعْزَعُ.
25 Y las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las virtudes que están en los cielos serán conmovidas;
25 the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 وَحِينَئِذٍ يُبْصِرُونَ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ آتِيًا فِي سَحَابٍ بِقُوَّةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَمَجْدٍ،
26 Y entonces verán al Hijo del hombre, que vendrá en las nubes con mucha potestad y gloria.
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 فَيُرْسِلُ حِينَئِذٍ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَيَجْمَعُ مُخْتَارِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ، مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاءِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.
27 Y entonces enviará sus ángeles, y juntará sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, desde el cabo de la tierra hasta el cabo del cielo.
27 Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
28 فَمِنْ شَجَرَةِ ٱلتِّينِ تَعَلَّمُوا ٱلْمَثَلَ: مَتَى صَارَ غُصْنُهَا رَخْصًا وَأَخْرَجَتْ أَوْرَاقًا، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلصَّيْفَ قَرِيبٌ.
28 De la higuera aprended la semejanza: Cuando su rama ya se enternece, y brota hojas, conocéis que el verano está cerca:
28 “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
29 هَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا، مَتَى رَأَيْتُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ صَائِرَةً، فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْوَابِ.
29 Así también vosotros, cuando viereis hacerse estas cosas, conoced que está cerca, á las puertas.
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَمْضِي هَذَا ٱلْجِيلُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ.
30 De cierto os digo que no pasará esta generación, que todas estas cosas no sean hechas.
30 Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31 اَلسَّمَاءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَزُولَانِ، وَلَكِنَّ كَلَامِي لَا يَزُولُ.
31 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 «وَأَمَّا ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ وَتِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةُ فَلَا يَعْلَمُ بِهِمَا أَحَدٌ، وَلَا ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَلَا ٱلِٱبْنُ، إِلَّا ٱلْآبُ.
32 Empero de aquel día y de la hora, nadie sabe; ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre.
32 “But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 اُنْظُرُوا! اِسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَتَى يَكُونُ ٱلْوَقْتُ.
33 Mirad, velad y orad: porque no sabéis cuándo será el tiempo.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
34 كَأَنَّمَا إِنْسَانٌ مُسَافِرٌ تَرَكَ بَيْتَهُ، وَأَعْطَى عَبِيدَهُ ٱلسُّلْطَانَ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَمَلَهُ، وَأَوْصَى ٱلْبَوَّابَ أَنْ يَسْهَرَ.
34 Como el hombre que partiéndose lejos, dejó su casa, y dió facultad á sus siervos, y á cada uno su obra, y al portero mandó que velase:
34 “It is like a man traveling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 اِسْهَرُوا إِذًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَتَى يَأْتِي رَبُّ ٱلْبَيْتِ، أَمَسَاءً، أَمْ نِصْفَ ٱللَّيْلِ، أَمْ صِيَاحَ ٱلدِّيكِ، أَمْ صَبَاحًا.
35 Velad pues, porque no sabéis cuándo el señor de la casa vendrá; [si] á la tarde, ó á la media noche, ó al canto del gallo, ó á la mañana;
35 Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36 لِئَلَّا يَأْتِيَ بَغْتَةً فَيَجِدَكُمْ نِيَامًا!
36 Porque cuando viniere de repente, no os halle durmiendo.
36 lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
37 وَمَا أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ أَقُولُهُ لِلْجَمِيعِ: ٱسْهَرُوا».
37 Y las cosas que á vosotros digo, á todos [las] digo: Velad.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”

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 advice, Brethren, which ye have just heard Scripture give, when it tells us to watch for the last day, every one should think of as concerning his own last day; lest haply when ye judge or think the last day of the world to be far distant, ye slumber with respect to your own last day.

… of God; while even the Lord, the very Son of God, allowed that the Father alone knows the very day and hour of judgment, when He plainly declares, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, neither the Son, but the Father only." If, then, the Son was not ashamed to ascribe the knowledge of that day to …
Ye have heard what Jesus said concerning the last day of this world, "That neither the Angels of heaven, nor the Son knew it, but the Father." Where indeed there is a great difficulty, lest understanding this in a carnal way, we think that the Father knoweth anything which the Son knoweth not.

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." By saying, not the angels, He stopped their mouths, that they should not seek to learn what these angels know not; and by saying, "neither the Son," forbids them not only to learn, but even to inquire.

Their tenth objection is the ignorance, and the statement that Of the last day and hour knoweth no man, not even the Son Himself, but the Father. And yet how can Wisdom be ignorant of anything--that is, Wisdom Who made the worlds, Who perfects them, Who remodels them, Who is the Limit of all things that were made, Who knoweth …
