RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to heal all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness.
1 ENTONCES llamando á sus doce discípulos, les dió potestad contra los espíritus inmundos, para que los echasen fuera, y sanasen toda enfermedad y toda dolencia.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles were these. The first, Simon (whom he also called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
2 Y los nombres de los doce apóstoles son estos: el primero, Simón, que es dicho Pedro, y Andrés su hermano; Jacobo, [hijo] de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
3 Felipe, y Bartolomé; Tomás, y Mateo el publicano; Jacobo [hijo] de Alfeo, y Lebeo, por sobrenombre Tadeo;
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
4 Simón el Cananita y Judas Iscariote, que también le entregó.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out. He instructed them and said, “Do not go to any place where Gentiles live, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans.
5 A estos doce envió Jesús, á los cuales dió mandamiento, diciendo: Por el camino de los Gentiles no iréis, y en ciudad de Samaritanos no entréis;
6 Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel;
6 Mas id antes á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
7 and as you go, preach and say, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.'
7 Y yendo, predicad, diciendo: El reino de los cielos se ha acercado.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
8 Sanad enfermos, limpiad leprosos, resucitad muertos, echad fuera demonios: de gracia recibisteis, dad de gracia.
9 Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper in your purses.
9 No aprestéis oro, ni plata, ni cobre en vuestras bolsas;
10 Do not take a traveling bag for your journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals, or a staff, for a laborer deserves his food.
10 Ni alforja para el camino, ni dos ropas de vestir, ni zapatos, ni bordón; porque el obrero digno es de su alimento.
11 Whatever city or village you enter, find who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
11 Mas en cualquier ciudad, ó aldea donde entrareis, investigad quién sea en ella digno, y reposad allí hasta que salgáis.
12 As you enter into the house, greet it.
12 Y entrando en la casa, saludadla.
13 If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace come back to you.
13 Y si la casa fuere digna, vuestra paz vendrá sobre ella; mas si no fuere digna, vuestra paz se volverá á vosotros.
14 As for those who do not receive you or listen to your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
14 Y cualquiera que no os recibiere, ni oyere vuestras palabras, salid de aquella casa ó ciudad, y sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies.
15 Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
15 De cierto os digo, [que el castigo] será más tolerable á la tierra de los de Sodoma y de los de Gomorra en el día del juicio, que á aquella ciudad.
16 See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
16 He aquí, yo os envío como á ovejas en medio de lobos: sed pues prudentes como serpientes, y sencillos como palomas.
17 Watch out for people! They will deliver you up to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
17 Y guardaos de los hombres: porque os entregarán en concilios, y en sus sinagogas os azotarán;
18 Then you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
18 Y aun á príncipes y á reyes seréis llevados por causa de mí, por testimonio á ellos y á los Gentiles.
19 When they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you will speak, for what to say will be given to you in that hour.
19 Mas cuando os entregaren, no os apuréis por cómo ó qué hablaréis; porque en aquella hora os será dado qué habéis de hablar.
20 For it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father who will speak in you.
20 Porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu de vuestro Padre que habla en vosotros.
21 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
21 Y el hermano entregará al hermano á la muerte, y el padre al hijo; y los hijos se levantarán contra los padres, y los harán morir.
22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person will be saved.
22 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por mi nombre; mas el que soportare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.
23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man has come.
23 Mas cuando os persiguieren en esta ciudad, huid á la otra: porque de cierto os digo, [que] no acabaréis de andar todas las ciudades de Israel, que no venga el Hijo del hombre.
24 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
24 El discípulo no es más que su maestro, ni el siervo más que su señor.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he should be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much worse would be the names they call the members of his household!
25 Bástale al discípulo ser como su maestro, y al siervo como su señor. Si al padre de la familia llamaron Beelzebub, ¿cuánto más á los de su casa?
26 Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
26 Así que, no los temáis; porque nada hay encubierto, que no haya de ser manifestado; ni oculto, que no haya de saberse.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, say in the daylight, and what you hear softly in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
27 Lo que os digo en tinieblas, decidlo en la luz; y lo que oís al oído predicadlo desde los terrados.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
28 Y no temáis á los que matan el cuerpo, mas al alma no pueden matar: temed antes á aquel que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
29 ¿No se venden dos pajarillos por un cuarto? Con todo, ni uno de ellos cae á tierra sin vuestro Padre.
30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
30 Pues aun vuestros cabellos están todos contados.
31 Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
31 Así que, no temáis: más valéis vosotros que muchos pajarillos.
32 Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
32 Cualquiera pues, que me confesare delante de los hombres, le confesaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
33 But he who denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Y cualquiera que me negare delante de los hombres, le negaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
34 Do not think that I came to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
34 No penséis que he venido para meter paz en la tierra: no he venido para meter paz, sino espada.
35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
35 Porque he venido para hacer disensión del hombre contra su padre, y de la hija contra su madre, y de la nuera contra su suegra.
36 A man's enemies will be those of his own household.
36 Y los enemigos del hombre [serán] los de su casa.
37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
37 El que ama padre ó madre más que á mí, no es digno de mí; y el que ama hijo ó hija más que á mí, no es digno de mí.
38 He who does not pick up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
38 Y el que no toma su cruz, y sigue en pos de mí, no es digno de mí.
39 He who finds his life will lose it. But he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
39 El que hallare su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.
40 He who welcomes you welcomes me, and he who welcomes me also welcomes him who sent me.
40 El que os recibe á vosotros, á mí recibe; y el que á mí recibe, recibe al que me envió.
41 He who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
41 El que recibe profeta en nombre de profeta, merced de profeta recibirá; y el que recibe justo en nombre de justo, merced de justo recibirá.
42 Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
42 Y cualquiera que diere á uno de estos pequeñitos un vaso de agua fría solamente, en nombre de discípulo, de cierto os digo, [que] no perderá su recompensa.

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).

    When the Holy Gospel was read, Brethren, ye heard how our Lord Jesus Christ strengthened His Martyrs by His teaching, saying, "Behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves." Now consider, my Brethren, what he does.
