WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ο δε Ιησούς, πλήρης Πνεύματος Αγίου, υπέστρεψεν από τον Ιορδάνην και εφέρετο διά του Πνεύματος εις την έρημον,
1 Y JESÚS, lleno del Espíritu Santo, volvió del Jordán, y fué llevado por el Espíritu al desierto
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
2 πειραζόμενος υπό του διαβόλου ημέρας τεσσαράκοντα, και δεν έφαγεν ουδέν τας ημέρας εκείνας· αφού δε αύται ετελείωσαν, ύστερον επείνασε.
2 Por cuarenta días, y era tentado del diablo. Y no comió cosa en aquellos días: los cuales pasados, tuvo hambre.
2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
3 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο διάβολος· Εάν είσαι Υιός του Θεού, ειπέ προς τον λίθον τούτον να γείνη άρτος.
3 Entonces el diablo le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, di á esta piedra que se haga pan.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 Και απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς προς αυτόν, λέγων· είναι γεγραμμένον ότι με άρτον μόνον δεν θέλει ζήσει ο άνθρωπος, αλλά με πάντα λόγον Θεού.
4 Y Jesús respondiéndole, dijo: Escrito está: Que no con pan solo vivirá el hombre, mas con toda palabra de Dios.
4 Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
5 Και αναβιβάσας αυτόν ο διάβολος εις όρος υψηλόν, έδειξεν εις αυτόν πάντα τα βασίλεια της οικουμένης εν μιά στιγμή χρόνου,
5 Y le llevó el diablo á un alto monte, y le mostró en un momento de tiempo todos los reinos de la tierra.
5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 και είπε προς αυτόν ο διάβολος· εις σε θέλω δώσει άπασαν την εξουσίαν ταύτην και την δόξαν αυτών, διότι εις εμέ είναι παραδεδομένη, και εις όντινα θέλω δίδω αυτήν.
6 Y le dijo el diablo: A ti te daré toda esta potestad, y la gloria de ellos; porque á mí es entregada, y á quien quiero la doy:
6 The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.
7 Συ λοιπόν εάν προσκυνήσης ενώπιόν μου, σου θέλουσιν είσθαι πάντα.
7 Pues si tú adorares delante de mí, serán todos tuyos.
7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
8 Και αποκριθείς προς αυτόν, είπεν ο Ιησούς· Ύπαγε οπίσω μου, Σατανά· διότι είναι γεγραμμένον, θέλεις προσκυνήσει Κύριον τον Θεόν σου και αυτόν μόνον θέλεις λατρεύσει.
8 Y respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Vete de mí, Satanás, porque escrito está: A tu Señor Dios adorarás, y á él solo servirás.
8 Jesus answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
9 Και έφερεν αυτόν εις Ιερουσαλήμ και έστησεν αυτόν επί το πτερύγιον του ιερού και είπε προς αυτόν· Εάν είσαι ο Υιός του Θεού, ρίψον σεαυτόν εντεύθεν κάτω·
9 Y le llevó á Jerusalem, y púsole sobre las almenas del templo, y le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, échate de aquí abajo:
9 He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
10 διότι είναι γεγραμμένον ότι εις τους αγγέλους αυτού θέλει προστάξει περί σου, διά να σε διαφυλάξωσι,
10 Porque escrito está: Que á sus ángeles mandará de ti, que te guarden;
10 for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’
11 και ότι θέλουσι σε σηκόνει επί των χειρών αυτών, διά να μη προσκόψης προς λίθον τον πόδα σου.
11 Y en las manos te llevarán, porque no dañes tu pie en piedra.
11 and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
12 Και αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς ότι είναι ειρημένον, δεν θέλεις πειράσει Κύριον τον Θεόν σου.
12 Y respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Dicho está: No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.
12 Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 Και αφού ετελείωσε πάντα πειρασμόν ο διάβολος, απεμακρύνθη απ' αυτού μέχρι καιρού.
13 Y acabada toda tentación, el diablo se fué de él por un tiempo.
13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 Και ο Ιησούς υπέστρεψεν εν τη δυνάμει του Πνεύματος εις την Γαλιλαίαν· και εξήλθε φήμη περί αυτού καθ' όλην την περίχωρον.
14 Y Jesús volvió en virtud del Espíritu á Galilea, y salió la fama de él por toda la tierra de alrededor.
14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
15 Και αυτός εδίδασκεν εν ταις συναγωγαίς αυτών, δοξαζόμενος υπό πάντων.
15 Y enseñaba en las sinagogas de ellos, y era glorificado de todos.
15 He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 Και ήλθεν εις την Ναζαρέτ, όπου ήτο ανατεθραμμένος, και εισήλθε κατά την συνήθειαν αυτού εις την συναγωγήν εν τη ημέρα του σαββάτου και εσηκώθη να αναγνώση.
16 Y vino á Nazaret, donde había sido criado; y entró, conforme á su costumbre, el día del sábado en la sinagoga, y se levantó á leer.
16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 Και εδόθη εις αυτόν το βιβλίον Ησαΐου του προφήτου, και ανοίξας το βιβλίον εύρε τον τόπον, όπου ήτο γεγραμμένον·
17 Y fuéle dado el libro del profeta Isaías; y como abrió el libro, halló el lugar donde estaba escrito:
17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18 Πνεύμα Κυρίου είναι επ' εμέ, διά τούτο με έχρισε· με απέστειλε διά να ευαγγελίζωμαι προς τους πτωχούς, διά να ιατρεύσω τους συτετριμμένους την καρδίαν, να κηρύξω προς τους αιχμαλώτους ελευθερίαν και προς τους τυφλούς ανάβλεψιν, να αποστείλω τους συντεθλασμένους εν ελευθερία,
18 El Espíritu del Señor es sobre mí, por cuanto me ha ungido para dar buenas nuevas á los pobres: me ha enviado para sanar á los quebrantados de corazón; para pregonar á los cautivos libertad, y á los ciegos vista; para poner en libertad á los quebrantados:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
19 διά να κηρύξω ευπρόσδεκτον Κυρίου ενιαυτόν.
19 Para predicar el año agradable del Señor.
19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Και κλείσας το βιβλίον, απέδωκεν εις τον υπηρέτην και εκάθησε· πάντων δε οι οφθαλμοί των εν τη συναγωγή ήσαν ατενίζοντες εις αυτόν.
20 Y rollando el libro, lo dió al ministro, y sentóse: y los ojos de todos en la sinagoga estaban fijos en él.
20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 Και ήρχισε να λέγη προς αυτούς ότι σήμερον επληρώθη η γραφή αύτη εις τα ώτα υμών.
21 Y comenzó á decirles: Hoy se ha cumplido esta Escritura en vuestros oídos.
21 He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Και πάντες εμαρτύρουν εις αυτόν και εθαύμαζον διά τους λόγους της χάριτος τους εξερχομένους εκ του στόματος αυτού και έλεγον· Δεν είναι ούτος ο υιός του Ιωσήφ;
22 Y todos le daban testimonio, y estaban maravillados de las palabras de gracia que salían de su boca, y decían: ¿No es éste el hijo de José?
22 All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
23 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Βεβαίως θέλετε με ειπεί την παραβολήν ταύτην· Ιατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν· όσα ηκούσαμεν ότι έγειναν εν τη Καπερναούμ, κάμε και εδώ εν τη πατρίδι σου.
23 Y les dijo: Sin duda me diréis este refrán: Médico, cúrate á ti mismo: de tantas cosas que hemos oído haber sido hechas en Capernaum, haz también aquí en tu tierra.
23 He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”
24 Είπε δέ· Αληθώς σας λέγω ότι ουδείς προφήτης είναι δεκτός εν τη πατρίδι αυτού.
24 Y dijo: De cierto os digo, que ningún profeta es acepto en su tierra.
24 He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
25 Και επ' αληθείας σας λέγω, Πολλαί χήραι ήσαν εν τω Ισραήλ επί των ημερών Ηλίου, ότε εκλείσθη ο ουρανός επί έτη τρία και μήνας εξ, καθ' ον καιρόν έγεινε πείνα μεγάλη εφ' όλην την γην,
25 Mas en verdad os digo, [que] muchas viudas había en Israel en los días de Elías, cuando el cielo fué cerrado por tres años y seis meses, que hubo una grande hambre en toda la tierra;
25 But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
26 και προς ουδεμίαν αυτών επέμφθη ο Ηλίας, ειμή εις Σαρεπτά της Σιδώνος προς γυναίκα χήραν.
26 Pero á ninguna de ellas fué enviado Elías, sino á Sarepta de Sidón, á una mujer viuda.
26 Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 Και πολλοί λεπροί ήσαν επί Ελισαίου του προφήτου εν τω Ισραήλ, και ουδείς αυτών εκαθαρίσθη, ειμή Νεεμάν ο Σύρος.
27 Y muchos leprosos había en Israel en tiempo del profeta Eliseo; mas ninguno de ellos fué limpio, sino Naamán el Siro.
27 There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”
28 Και επλήσθησαν πάντες θυμού εν τη συναγωγή, ακούοντες ταύτα,
28 Entonces todos en la sinagoga fueron llenos de ira, oyendo estas cosas;
28 They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.
29 και σηκωθέντες εξέβαλον αυτόν έξω της πόλεως και έφεραν αυτόν έως της οφρύος του όρους, επί του οποίου η πόλις αυτών ήτο ωκοδομημένη, διά να κατακρημνίσωσιν αυτόν·
29 Y levantándose, le echaron fuera de la ciudad, y le llevaron hasta la cumbre del monte sobre el cual la ciudad de ellos estaba edificada, para despeñarle.
29 They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
30 αυτός όμως περάσας διά μέσου αυτών επορεύετο.
30 Mas él, pasando por medio de ellos, se fué.
30 But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.
31 Και κατέβη εις Καπερναούμ, πόλιν της Γαλιλαίας, και εδίδασκεν αυτούς εν τοις σάββασι·
31 Y descendió á Capernaum, ciudad de Galilea. Y los enseñaba en los sábados.
31 He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
32 και εξεπλήττοντο διά την διδαχήν αυτού, διότι ο λόγος αυτού ήτο μετά εξουσίας.
32 Y se maravillaban de su doctrina, porque su palabra era con potestad.
32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
33 Και εν τη συναγωγή ήτο άνθρωπος έχων πνεύμα δαιμονίου ακαθάρτου, και ανέκραξε μετά φωνής μεγάλης,
33 Y estaba en la sinagoga un hombre que tenía un espíritu de un demonio inmundo, el cual exclamó á gran voz,
33 In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 λέγων· Φευ, τι είναι μεταξύ υμών και σου, Ιησού Ναζαρηνέ; ήλθες να απολέσης ημάς; Σε γνωρίζω τις είσαι, ο Άγιος του Θεού.
34 Diciendo: Déjanos, ¿qué tenemos contigo, Jesús Nazareno? ¿has venido á destruirnos? Yo te conozco quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
34 saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
35 Και επετίμησεν αυτό ο Ιησούς, λέγων· Σιώπα και έξελθε εξ αυτού. Και το δαιμόνιον έρριψεν αυτόν εις το μέσον και εξήλθεν απ' αυτού, χωρίς να βλάψη αυτόν παντελώς.
35 Y Jesús le increpó, diciendo: Enmudece, y sal de él. Entonces el demonio, derribándole en medio, salió de él, y no le hizo daño alguno.
35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
36 Και εξεπλάγησαν πάντες και συνελάλουν προς αλλήλους, λέγοντες· Τις είναι ο λόγος ούτος, ότι μετά εξουσίας και δυνάμεως προστάζει τα ακάθαρτα πνεύματα, και εξέρχονται;
36 Y hubo espanto en todos, y hablaban unos á otros, diciendo: ¿Qué palabra es ésta, que con autoridad y potencia manda á los espíritus inmundos, y salen?
36 Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37 και διεδίδετο φήμη περί αυτού εις πάντα τόπον της περιχώρου.
37 Y la fama de él se divulgaba de todas partes por todos los lugares de la comarca.
37 News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
38 Σηκωθείς δε εκ της συναγωγής, εισήλθεν εις την οικίαν του Σίμωνος. Η πενθερά δε του Σίμωνος εκρατείτο υπό πυρετού μεγάλου, και παρεκάλεσαν αυτόν περί αυτής.
38 Y levantándose Jesús de la sinagoga, entró en casa de Simón: y la suegra de Simón estaba con una grande fiebre; y le rogaron por ella.
38 He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.
39 Και σταθείς επάνω αυτής επετίμησε τον πυρετόν, και αφήκεν αυτήν και παρευθύς σηκωθείσα υπηρέτει αυτούς.
39 E inclinándose hacia ella, riñó á la fiebre; y la fiebre la dejó; y ella levantándose luego, les servía.
39 He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
40 Ενώ δε έδυεν ο ήλιος, πάντες όσοι είχον ασθενούντας υπό διαφόρων νόσων έφεραν αυτούς προς αυτόν· εκείνος δε επιθέσας τας χείρας εις ένα έκαστον αυτών εθεράπευσεν αυτούς.
40 Y poniéndose el sol, todos los que tenían enfermos de diversas enfermedades, los traían á él; y él, poniendo las manos sobre cada uno de ellos, los sanaba.
40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 Εξήρχοντο δε και δαιμόνια από πολλών, κράζοντα και λέγοντα ότι Συ είσαι ο Χριστός ο Υιός του Θεού. Και επιτιμών αυτά δεν άφινε να λαλώσιν, επειδή εγνώριζον αυτόν ότι είναι ο Χριστός.
41 Y salían también demonios de muchos, dando voces, y diciendo: Tú eres el Hijo de Dios. Mas riñéndolos no les dejaba hablar; porque sabían que él era el Cristo.
41 Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Και ότε έγεινεν ημέρα, εξελθών υπήγεν εις έρημον τόπον και οι όχλοι εζήτουν αυτόν, και ήλθον έως αυτού και εκράτουν αυτόν διά να μη αναχωρήση απ' αυτών.
42 Y siendo ya de día salió, y se fué á un lugar desierto: y las gentes le buscaban, y vinieron hasta él; y le detenían para que no se apartase de ellos.
42 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.
43 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς ότι Και εις τας άλλας πόλεις πρέπει να ευαγγελίσω την βασιλείαν του Θεού επειδή εις τούτο είμαι απεσταλμένος.
43 Mas él les dijo: Que también á otras ciudades es necesario que anuncie el evangelio del reino de Dios; porque para esto soy enviado.
43 But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”
44 Και εκήρυττεν εν ταις συναγωγαίς της Γαλιλαίας.
44 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de Galilea.
44 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

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).
