1 Και ότε ήλθεν αυτός εις τον οίκον τινός των αρχόντων των Φαρισαίων το σάββατον διά να φάγη άρτον, εκείνοι παρετήρουν αυτόν.
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 Και ιδού, άνθρωπός τις υδρωπικός ήτο έμπροσθεν αυτού.
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 Και αποκριθείς ο Ιησούς, είπε προς τους νομικούς και Φαρισαίους, λέγων· Είναι τάχα συγκεχωρημένον να θεραπεύη τις εν τω σαββάτω;
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 Οι δε εσιώπησαν. Και πιάσας ιάτρευσεν αυτόν και απέλυσε.
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 Και αποκριθείς προς αυτούς είπε· Τίνος υμών ο όνος ή ο βους θέλει πέσει εις φρέαρ, και δεν θέλει ευθύς ανασύρει αυτόν εν τη ημέρα του σαββάτου;
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 Και δεν ηδυνήθησαν να αποκριθώσιν εις αυτόν προς ταύτα.
6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Είπε δε παραβολήν προς τους κεκλημένους, επειδή παρετήρει πως εξέλεγον τας πρωτοκαθεδρίας, λέγων προς αυτούς.
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 Όταν προσκληθής υπό τινός εις γάμους, μη καθήσης εις τον πρώτον τόπον, μήποτε είναι προσκεκλημένος υπ' αυτού εντιμότερός σου,
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 και ελθών εκείνος, όστις εκάλεσε σε και αυτόν, σοι είπη· Δος τόπον εις τούτον· και τότε αρχίσης με αισχύνην να λαμβάνης τον έσχατον τόπον.
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 Αλλ' όταν προσκληθής, ύπαγε και κάθησον εις τον έσχατον τόπον, διά να σοι είπη όταν έλθη εκείνος, όστις σε εκάλεσε· Φίλε, ανάβα ανωτέρω· τότε θέλεις έχει δόξαν ενώπιον των συγκαθημένων μετά σου.
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 Διότι πας ο υψών εαυτόν θέλει ταπεινωθή και ο ταπεινών εαυτόν θέλει υψωθή.
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 Έλεγε δε και προς εκείνον, όστις προσεκάλεσεν αυτόν. Όταν κάμνης γεύμα ή δείπνον, μη προσκάλει τους φίλους σου μηδέ τους αδελφούς σου μηδέ τους συγγενείς σου μηδέ γείτονας πλουσίους, μήποτε και αυτοί σε αντικαλέσωσι, και γείνη εις σε ανταπόδοσις.
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 Αλλ' όταν κάμνης υποδοχήν, προσκάλει πτωχούς, βεβλαμμένους, χωλούς, τυφλούς,
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 και θέλεις είσθαι μακάριος, διότι δεν έχουσι να σοι ανταποδώσωσιν· επειδή η ανταπόδοσις θέλει γείνει εις σε εν τη αναστάσει των δικαίων.
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 Ακούσας δε ταύτα εις των συγκαθημένων, είπε προς αυτόν· Μακάριος όστις φάγη άρτον εν τη βασιλεία του Θεού.
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 Ο δε είπε προς αυτόν· Άνθρωπος τις έκαμε δείπνον μέγα και εκάλεσε πολλούς·
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 και απέστειλε τον δούλον αυτού τη ώρα του δείπνου διά να είπη προς τους κεκλημένους· Έρχεσθε, επειδή πάντα είναι ήδη έτοιμα.
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 Και ήρχισαν πάντες με μίαν γνώμην να παραιτώνται. Ο πρώτος είπε προς αυτόν· Αγρόν ηγόρασα, και έχω ανάγκην να εξέλθω και να ίδω αυτόν· παρακαλώ σε, έχε με παρητημένον.
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 Και άλλος είπεν· Ηγόρασα πέντε ζεύγη βοών, και υπάγω να δοκιμάσω αυτά· παρακαλώ σε, έχε με παρητημένον.
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 και άλλος είπε· Γυναίκα ενυμφεύθην, και διά τούτο δεν δύναμαι να έλθω.
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 Και ελθών ο δούλος εκείνος, απήγγειλε προς τον κύριον αυτού ταύτα. Τότε οργισθείς ο οικοδεσπότης, είπε προς τον δούλον αυτού· Έξελθε ταχέως εις τας πλατείας και τας οδούς της πόλεως, και εισάγαγε εδώ τους πτωχούς και βεβλαμμένους και χωλούς και τυφλούς.
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 Και είπεν ο δούλος· Κύριε, έγεινεν ως προσέταξας, και είναι έτι τόπος.
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 Και είπεν ο κύριος προς τον δούλον· Έξελθε εις τας οδούς και φραγμούς και ανάγκασον να εισέλθωσι, διά να γεμισθή ο οίκός μου.
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 Διότι σας λέγω ότι ουδείς των ανδρών εκείνων των κεκλημένων θέλει γευθή του δείπνου μου.
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 Ήρχοντο δε μετ' αυτού όχλοι πολλοί. Και στραφείς είπε προς αυτούς·
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 Εάν τις έρχηται προς εμέ και δεν μισή τον πατέρα αυτού και την μητέρα και την γυναίκα και τα τέκνα και τους αδελφούς και τας αδελφάς, έτι δε και την εαυτού ζωήν, δεν δύναται να ήναι μαθητής μου.
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 Και όστις δεν βαστάζει τον σταυρόν αυτού και έρχεται οπίσω μου, δεν δύναται να ήναι μαθητής μου.
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 Διότι τις εξ υμών, θέλων να οικοδομήση πύργον, δεν κάθηται πρώτον και λογαριάζει την δαπάνην, αν έχη τα αναγκαία διά να τελειώση αυτόν;
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 μήποτε αφού βάλη θεμέλιον και δεν δύναται να τελειώση αυτόν, αρχίσωσι πάντες οι βλέποντες να εμπαίζωσιν αυτόν,
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 λέγοντες· Ότι ούτος ο άνθρωπος ήρχισε να οικοδομή και δεν ηδυνήθη να τελειώση.
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 Η τις βασιλεύς υπάγων να πολεμήση άλλον βασιλέα δεν κάθηται πρότερον και σκέπτεται εάν ήναι δυνατός με δέκα χιλιάδας να απαντήση τον ερχόμενον κατ' αυτού με είκοσι χιλιάδας;
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 Ει δε μη, ενώ αυτός είναι έτι μακράν, αποστέλλει πρέσβεις και ζητεί ειρήνην.
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 Ούτω λοιπόν πας όστις εξ υμών δεν απαρνείται πάντα τα εαυτού υπάρχοντα, δεν δύναται να ήναι μαθητής μου.
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 Καλόν το άλας· αλλ' εάν το άλας διαφθαρή, με τι θέλει αρτυθή;
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 δεν είναι πλέον χρήσιμον ούτε διά την γην ούτε διά την κοπρίαν· έξω ρίπτουσιν αυτό. Ο έχων ώτα διά να ακούη ας ακούη.
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 …

John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first "resurrection of the just," and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth; and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his vision].
