1 Και εισελθών διήρχετο την Ιεριχώ·
1 Y HABIENDO entrado [Jesús], iba pasando por Jericó;
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 και ιδού, άνθρωπος ονομαζόμενος Ζακχαίος, όστις ήτο αρχιτελώνης, και ούτος ήτο πλούσιος,
2 Y he aquí un varón llamado Zaqueo, el cual era el principal de los publicanos, y era rico;
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 και εζήτει να ίδη τον Ιησούν τις είναι, και δεν ηδύνατο διά τον όχλον, διότι ήτο μικρός το ανάστημα.
3 Y procuraba ver á Jesús quién fuese; mas no podía á causa de la multitud, porque era pequeño de estatura.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 και δραμών εμπρός ανέβη επί συκομορέαν διά να ίδη αυτόν· επειδή δι' εκείνης της οδού έμελλε να περάση.
4 Y corriendo delante, subióse á un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 Και ως ήλθεν εις τον τόπον ο Ιησούς, αναβλέψας είδεν αυτόν και είπε προς αυτόν· Ζακχαίε, κατάβα ταχέως· διότι σήμερον πρέπει να μείνω εν τω οίκω σου.
5 Y como vino á aquel lugar Jesús, mirando, le vió, y díjole: Zaqueo, date priesa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose en tu casa.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 Και κατέβη ταχέως και υπεδέχθη αυτόν μετά χαράς.
6 Entonces él descendió apriesa, y le recibió gozoso.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Και ιδόντες άπαντες εγόγγυζον, λέγοντες ότι εις αμαρτωλόν άνθρωπον εισήλθε να καταλύση.
7 Y viendo esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo que había entrado á posar con un hombre pecador.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
8 Σταθείς δε ο Ζακχαίος, είπε προς τον Κύριον· Ιδού, τα ημίση των υπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδω εις τους πτωχούς, και εάν εσυκοφάντησά τινά εις τι, αποδίδω τετραπλούν.
8 Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy á los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado á alguno, lo vuelvo con el cuatro tanto.
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
9 Είπε δε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς ότι, Σήμερον έγεινε σωτηρία εις τον οίκον τούτον, καθότι και αυτός υιός του Αβραάμ είναι.
9 Y Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación á esta casa; por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Διότι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου ήλθε να ζητήση και να σώση το απολωλός.
10 Porque el Hijo del hombre vino á buscar y á salvar lo que se había perdido.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
11 Και ενώ αυτοί ήκουον ταύτα, προσθέσας είπε παραβολήν, διότι ήτο πλησίον της Ιερουσαλήμ και αυτοί ενόμιζον ότι η βασιλεία του Θεού έμελλεν ευθύς να φανή·
11 Y oyendo ellos estas cosas, prosiguió [Jesús] y dijo una parábola, por cuanto estaba cerca de Jerusalem, y porque pensaban que luego había de ser manifestado el reino de Dios.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
12 είπε λοιπόν· Άνθρωπος τις ευγενής υπήγεν εις χώραν μακράν διά να λάβη εις εαυτόν βασιλείαν και να υποστρέψη.
12 Dijo pues: Un hombre noble partió á una provincia lejos, para tomar para sí un reino, y volver.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13 Και καλέσας δέκα δούλους εαυτού, έδωκεν εις αυτούς δέκα μνας και είπε προς αυτούς· Πραγματευθήτε εωσού έλθω.
13 Mas llamados diez siervos suyos, les dió diez minas, y díjoles: Negociad entre tanto que vengo.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
14 Οι συμπολίται αυτού όμως εμίσουν αυτόν και απέστειλαν κατόπιν αυτού πρέσβεις, λέγοντες· Δεν θέλομεν τούτον να βασιλεύση εφ' ημάς.
14 Empero sus ciudadanos le aborrecían, y enviaron tras de él una embajada, diciendo: No queremos que éste reine sobre nosotros.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
15 Και αφού υπέστρεψε λαβών την βασιλείαν, είπε να προσκληθώσι προς αυτόν οι δούλοι εκείνοι, εις τους οποίους έδωκε το αργύριον, διά να μάθη τι εκέρδησεν έκαστος.
15 Y aconteció, que vuelto él, habiendo tomado el reino, mandó llamar á sí á aquellos siervos á los cuales había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había negociado cada uno.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 Και ήλθεν ο πρώτος, λέγων· Κύριε, η μνα σου εκέρδησε δέκα μνας.
16 Y vino el primero, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha ganado diez minas.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
17 Και είπε προς αυτόν· Εύγε, αγαθέ δούλε· επειδή εις το ελάχιστον εφάνης πιστός, έχε εξουσίαν επάνω δέκα πόλεων.
17 Y él le dice: Está bien, buen siervo; pues que en lo poco has sido fiel, tendrás potestad sobre diez ciudades.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 Και ήλθεν ο δεύτερος, λέγων· Κύριε, η μνα σου έκαμε πέντε μνας.
18 Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, tu mina ha hecho cinco minas.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 Είπε δε και προς τούτον· Και συ γενού εξουσιαστής επάνω πέντε πόλεων.
19 Y también á éste dijo: Tú también sé sobre cinco ciudades.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 Ήλθε και άλλος, λέγων· Κύριε, ιδού η μνα σου, την οποίαν είχον πεφυλαγμένην εν μανδηλίω.
20 Y vino otro, diciendo: Señor, he aquí tu mina, la cual he tenido guardada en un pañizuelo:
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Διότι σε εφοβούμην, επειδή είσαι άνθρωπος αυστηρός· λαμβάνεις ό,τι δεν κατέβαλες, και θερίζεις ό,τι δεν έσπειρας.
21 Porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres hombre recio; tomas lo que no pusiste, y siegas lo que no sembraste.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
22 Και λέγει προς αυτόν· Εκ του στόματός σου θέλω σε κρίνει, πονηρέ δούλε· ήξευρες ότι εγώ είμαι άνθρωπος αυστηρός, λαμβάνων ό,τι δεν κατέβαλον, και θερίζων ό,τι δεν έσπειρα·
22 Entonces él le dijo: Mal siervo, de tu boca te juzgo. Sabías que yo era hombre recio, que tomo lo que no puse, y que siego lo que no sembré;
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
23 διά τι λοιπόν δεν έδωκας το αργύριόν μου εις την τράπεζαν, ώστε εγώ ελθών ήθελον συνάξει αυτό μετά του τόκου;
23 ¿Por qué, pues, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo demandara con el logro?
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
24 Και είπε προς τους παρεστώτας· Αφαιρέσατε απ' αυτού την μναν και δότε εις τον έχοντα τας δέκα μνας.
24 Y dijo á los que estaban presentes: Quitadle la mina, y dadla al que tiene las diez minas.
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 Και είπον προς αυτόν· Κύριε, έχει δέκα μνας.
25 Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, tiene diez minas.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
26 Διότι σας λέγω ότι εις πάντα τον έχοντα θέλει δοθή, από δε του μη έχοντος και ό,τι έχει θέλει αφαιρεθή απ' αυτού.
26 Pues yo os digo que á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; mas al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
27 Πλην τους εχθρούς μου εκείνους, οίτινες δεν με ηθέλησαν να βασιλεύσω επ' αυτούς, φέρετε εδώ και κατασφάξατε έμπροσθέν μου.
27 Y también á aquellos mis enemigos que no querían que yo reinase sobre ellos, traedlos acá, y degolladlos delante de mí.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 Και ειπών ταύτα, προεχώρει αναβαίνων εις Ιεροσόλυμα.
28 Y dicho esto, iba delante subiendo á Jerusalem.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Και ως επλησίασεν εις Βηθφαγή και Βηθανίαν, προς το όρος το καλούμενον Ελαιών, απέστειλε δύο των μαθητών αυτού,
29 Y aconteció, que llegando cerca de Bethfagé, y de Bethania, al monte que se llama de las Olivas, envió dos de sus discípulos,
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 ειπών· Υπάγετε εις την κατέναντι κώμην, εις την οποίαν εμβαίνοντες θέλετε ευρεί πωλάριον δεδεμένον, επί του οποίου ουδείς άνθρωπος εκάθησέ ποτε· λύσατε αυτό και φέρετε.
30 Diciendo: Id á la aldea de enfrente; en la cual como entrareis, hallaréis un pollino atado, en el que ningún hombre se ha sentado jamás; desatadlo, y traedlo.
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
31 Και εάν τις σας ερωτήση, Διά τι λύετε αυτό ούτω θέλετε ειπεί προς αυτόν, Ότι ο Κύριος έχει χρείαν αυτού.
31 Y si alguien os preguntare, ¿por qué lo desatáis? le responderéis así: Porque el Señor lo ha menester.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Υπήγαν δε οι απεσταλμένοι και εύρον καθώς είπε προς αυτούς·
32 Y fueron los que habían sido enviados, y hallaron como les dijo.
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 και ενώ έλυον το πωλάριον, είπον προς αυτούς οι κύριοι αυτού· Διά τι λύετε το πωλάριον;
33 Y desatando ellos el pollino, sus dueños les dijeron: ¿Por qué desatáis el pollino?
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Οι δε είπον· Ο Κύριος έχει χρείαν αυτού,
34 Y ellos dijeron: Porque el Señor lo ha menester.
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 και έφεραν αυτό προς τον Ιησούν· και ρίψαντες επί το πωλάριον τα ιμάτια αυτών, επεκάθισαν τον Ιησούν.
35 Y trajéronlo á Jesús; y habiendo echado sus vestidos sobre el pollino, pusieron á Jesús encima.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
36 Ενώ δε επορεύετο, υπέστρωνον τα ιμάτια αυτών εις την οδόν.
36 Y yendo él tendían sus capas por el camino.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 Και ότε επλησίαζεν ήδη εις την κατάβασιν του όρους των Ελαιών, ήρχισαν άπαν το πλήθος των μαθητών χαίροντες να υμνώσι τον Θεόν μεγαλοφώνως διά πάντα τα θαύματα, τα οποία είδον,
37 Y como llegasen ya cerca de la bajada del monte de las Olivas, toda la multitud de los discípulos, gozándose, comenzaron á alabar á Dios á gran voz por todas las maravillas que habían visto,
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 λέγοντες· Ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος Βασιλεύς εν ονόματι του Κυρίου· ειρήνη εν ουρανώ, και δόξα εν υψίστοις.
38 Diciendo: ¡Bendito el rey que viene en [el] nombre del Señor: paz en el cielo, y gloria en lo altísimo!
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 Και τινές των Φαρισαίων από του όχλου είπον προς αυτόν· Διδάσκαλε, επίπληξον τους μαθητάς σου.
39 Entonces algunos de los Fariseos de la compañía, le dijeron: Maestro, reprende á tus discípulos.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 Και αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· Σας λέγω ότι εάν ούτοι σιωπήσωσιν, οι λίθοι θέλουσι φωνάξει.
40 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: Os digo que si éstos callaren, las piedras clamarán.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Και ότε επλησίασεν, ιδών την πόλιν έκλαυσεν επ' αυτήν,
41 Y como llegó cerca, viendo la ciudad, lloró sobre ella,
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 λέγων, Είθε να εγνώριζες και συ, τουλάχιστον εν τη ημέρα σου ταύτη, τα προς ειρήνην σου αποβλέποντα· αλλά τώρα εκρύφθησαν από των οφθαλμών σου·
42 Diciendo: ¡Oh si también tú conocieses, á lo menos en este tu día, lo que toca á tu paz! mas ahora está encubierto de tus ojos.
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 διότι θέλουσιν ελθεί ημέραι επί σε και οι εχθροί σου θέλουσι κάμει χαράκωμα περί σε, και θέλουσι σε περικυκλώσει και θέλουσι σε στενοχωρήσει πανταχόθεν,
43 Porque vendrán días sobre ti, que tus enemigos te cercarán con baluarte, y te pondrán cerco, y de todas partes te pondrán en estrecho,
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
44 και θέλουσι κατεδαφίσει σε και τα τέκνα σου εν σοι, και δεν θέλουσιν αφήσει εν σοι λίθον επί λίθον, διότι δεν εγνώρισας τον καιρόν της επισκέψεώς σου.
44 Y te derribarán á tierra, y á tus hijos dentro de ti; y no dejarán sobre ti piedra sobre piedra; por cuanto no conociste el tiempo de tu visitación.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 Και εισελθών εις το ιερόν, ήρχισε να εκβάλλη τους πωλούντας εν αυτώ και αγοράζοντας,
45 Y entrando en el templo, comenzó á echar fuera á todos los que vendían y compraban en él.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 λέγων προς αυτούς· Είναι γεγραμμένον, Ο οίκός μου είναι οίκος προσευχής· σεις δε εκάμετε αυτόν σπήλαιον ληστών.
46 Diciéndoles: Escrito está: Mi casa, casa de oración es; mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
47 Και εδίδασκε καθ' ημέραν εν τω ιερώ οι δε αρχιερείς και οι γραμματείς και οι πρώτοι του λαού εζήτουν να απολέσωσιν αυτόν.
47 Y enseñaba cada día en el templo; mas los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los principales del pueblo procuraban matarle.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Και δεν εύρισκον το τι να πράξωσι· διότι πας ο λαός ήτο προσηλωμένος εις το να ακούη αυτόν.
48 Y no hallaban qué hacerle, porque todo el pueblo estaba suspenso oyéndole.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

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).
… in the animal class;--the spiritual, again, when He said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the kingdom of God," and when He said to Zaccheus the publican, "Make haste, and come down, for to-day I must abide in thine house" --for these they declared to have belonged to the spiritual class.
For not only to God the Father, but also to His Only-begotten, who came to seek what was lost, we had been known already even so far as to be chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
