1 At that time, some people there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their own sacrifices.
1 Y EN este mismo tiempo estaban allí unos que le contaban acerca de los Galileos, cuya sangre Pilato había mezclado con sus sacrificios.
2 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?
2 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Pensáis que estos Galileos, porque han padecido tales cosas, hayan sido más pecadores que todos los Galileos?
3 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, all of you will perish in the same way.
3 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis igualmente.
4 Or those eighteen people in Siloam on whom a tower fell and killed them, do you think they were worse sinners than other men in Jerusalem?
4 O aquellos dieciocho, sobre los cuales cayó la torre en Siloé, y los mató, ¿pensáis que ellos fueron más deudores que todos los hombres que habitan en Jerusalem?
5 No, I say. But if you do not repent, all of you will also perish.”
5 No, os digo; antes si no os arrepintiereis, todos pereceréis asimismo.
6 Jesus told this parable, “Someone had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and looked for fruit on it but found none.
6 Y dijo esta parábola: Tenía uno una higuera plantada en su viña, y vino á buscar fruto en ella, y no lo halló.
7 The man said to the gardener, 'Look, for three years I came and tried to find fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why let it waste the ground?'
7 Y dijo al viñero: He aquí tres años ha que vengo á buscar fruto en esta higuera, y no lo hallo; córtala, ¿por qué ocupará aún la tierra?
8 The gardener answered and said, 'Leave it alone this year while I dig around it and put manure on it.
8 El entonces respondiendo, le dijo: Señor, déjala aún este año, hasta que la excave, y estercole.
9 If it bears fruit next year, good; but if it does not, cut it down!'”
9 Y si hiciere fruto, [bien]; y si no, la cortarás después.
10 Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues during the Sabbath.
10 Y enseñaba en una sinagoga en sábado.
11 Behold, a woman was there who for eighteen years had a spirit of weakness. She was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely.
11 Y he aquí una mujer que tenía espíritu de enfermedad dieciocho años, y andaba agobiada, que en ninguna manera se podía enhestar.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are freed from your weakness.”
12 Y como Jesús la vió, llamóla, y díjole: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad.
13 He placed his hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up and she glorified God.
13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba á Dios.
14 But the synagogue ruler was indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. So the ruler answered and said to the crowd, “There are six days in which it is necessary to work. Come and be healed then, not on the Sabbath day.”
14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiese curado en sábado, dijo á la compañía: Seis días hay en que es necesario obrar: en estos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en día de sábado.
15 The Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Does not each of you untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it to drink on the Sabbath?
15 Entonces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, cada uno de vosotros ¿no desata en sábado su buey ó su asno del pesebre, y lo lleva á beber?
16 So too this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, should her bonds not be untied on the Sabbath day?”
16 Y á esta hija de Abraham, que he aquí Satanás la había ligado dieciocho años, ¿no convino desatar[la] de esta ligadura en día de sábado?
17 As he said these things, all those who opposed him were ashamed, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he did.
17 Y diciendo estas cosas, se avergonzaban todos sus adversarios: mas todo el pueblo se gozaba de todas las cosas gloriosas que eran por él hechas.
18 Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?
18 Y dijo: ¿A qué es semejante el reino de Dios, y á qué le compararé?
19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and threw into his garden, and it grew into a big tree, and the birds of heaven built their nests in its branches.”
19 Semejante es al grano de la mostaza, que tomándo[lo] un hombre lo metió en su huerto; y creció, y fué hecho árbol grande, y las aves del cielo hicieron nidos en sus ramas.
20 Again he said, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
20 Y otra vez dijo: ¿A qué compararé el reino de Dios?
21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it spread through all the flour.”
21 Semejante es á la levadura, que tomó una mujer, y [la] escondió en tres medidas de harina, hasta que todo hubo fermentado.
22 Then Jesus traveled through the towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.
22 Y pasaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando, y caminando á Jerusalem.
23 Someone said to him, “Lord, are only a few people to be saved?” So he said to them,
23 Y díjole uno: Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan? Y él les dijo:
24 “Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because, I say to you, many will want to enter, but will not be able to enter.
24 Porfiad á entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán.
25 Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, then you will stand outside and pound the door and say, 'Lord, Lord, let us in.' He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you or where you are from.'
25 Después que el padre de familia se levantare, y cerrare la puerta, y comenzareis á estar fuera, y llamar á la puerta, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos; y respondiendo os dirá: No os conozco de dónde seáis.
26 Then you will say, 'We ate and drank in front of you and you taught in our streets.'
26 Entonces comenzaréis á decir: Delante de ti hemos comido y bebido, y en nuestras plazas enseñaste;
27 But he will reply, 'I say to you, I do not know where you are from. Get away from me, you evildoers!'
27 Y [os] dirá: Dígoos que no os conozco de dónde seáis; apartaos de mí todos los obreros de iniquidad.
28 There will be crying and the grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you are thrown out.
28 Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes, cuando viereis á Abraham, y á Isaac, y á Jacob, y á todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, y vosotros excluídos.
29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and be seated at a table in the kingdom of God.
29 Y vendrán del Oriente y del Occidente, del Norte y del Mediodía, y se sentarán á la mesa en el reino de Dios.
30 Know this, those who are least important will be first, and those who are most important will be last.”
30 Y he aquí, son postreros los que eran los primeros; y son primeros los que eran los postreros.
31 Shortly after, some Pharisees came and said to him, “Go and leave here because Herod wants to kill you.”
31 Aquel mismo día llegaron unos de los Fariseos, diciéndole: Sal, y vete de aquí, porque Herodes te quiere matar.
32 Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and the third day I will reach my goal.'
32 Y les dijo: Id, y decid á aquella zorra: He aquí, echo fuera demonios y acabo sanidades hoy y mañana, y al tercer día soy consumado.
33 In any case, it is necessary for me to continue on today, tomorrow, and the following day, since it is not acceptable to kill a prophet away from Jerusalem.
33 Empero es menester que hoy, y mañana, y pasado mañana camine; porque no es posible que profeta muera fuera de Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to you. How often I desired to gather your children the way a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you did not desire this.
34 ¡Jerusalem, Jerusalem! que matas á los profetas, y apedreas á los que son enviados á ti: ¡cuántas veces quise juntar tus hijos, como la gallina sus pollos debajo de sus alas, y no quisiste!
35 See, your house is abandoned. I say to you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”
35 He aquí, os es dejada vuestra casa desierta: y os digo que no me veréis, hasta que venga [tiempo] cuando digáis: Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor.

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).
Touching "the fig-tree" which had its three years' trial, and bare no fruit, and "the woman which was in an infirmity eighteen years," hearken to what the Lord may grant me to say. The fig-tree is the human race. And the three years are the three times; one before the Law, the second under the Law, the third under grace.

another woman was also healed, after suffering in like manner for eighteen years; concerning whom the Lord said, "And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound during eighteen years, to be set free on the Sabbath-day?" If, then, the former was a type of the twelfth Æon that suffered, the latter should also be a type of …
… sense, as when He said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees," and in a good sense, as when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened." For as this converts the large quantity of meal into its own quality, even so shall ye convert the whole world.

… and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;" and then again by saying to the Jews, "When ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of heaven, but you yourselves cast out." This, then, is a clear point, that those who disallow his salvation, and frame the …
