1 Και αποκριθείς ο Ιησούς πάλιν είπε προς αυτούς διά παραβολών, λέγων·
1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 Ωμοιώθη η βασιλεία των ουρανών με άνθρωπον βασιλέα, όστις έκαμε γάμους εις τον υιόν αυτού·
2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 και απέστειλε τους δούλους αυτού να καλέσωσι τους προσκεκλημένους εις τους γάμους, και δεν ήθελον να έλθωσι.
3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 Πάλιν απέστειλεν άλλους δούλους, λέγων· Είπατε προς τους προσκεκλημένους· Ιδού, το γεύμα μου ητοίμασα, οι ταύροι μου και τα θρεπτά είναι εσφαγμένα και πάντα είναι έτοιμα· έλθετε εις τους γάμους.
4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
5 Εκείνοι όμως αμελήσαντες απήλθον, ο μεν εις τον αγρόν αυτού, ο δε εις το εμπόριον αυτού·
5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 οι δε λοιποί πιάσαντες τους δούλους αυτού ύβρισαν και εφόνευσαν.
6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Ακούσας δε ο βασιλεύς ωργίσθη, και πέμψας τα στρατεύματα αυτού απώλεσε τους φονείς εκείνους και την πόλιν αυτών κατέκαυσε.
7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Τότε λέγει προς τους δούλους αυτού· Ο μεν γάμος είναι έτοιμος, οι δε προσκεκλημένοι δεν ήσαν άξιοι·
8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 υπάγετε λοιπόν εις τας διεξόδους των οδών, και όσους αν εύρητε καλέσατε εις τους γάμους.
9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 Και εξελθόντες οι δούλοι εκείνοι εις τας οδούς, συνήγαγον πάντας όσους εύρον, κακούς τε και καλούς· και εγεμίσθη ο γάμος από ανακεκλιμένων.
10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 Εισελθών δε ο βασιλεύς διά να θεωρήση τους ανακεκλιμένους, είδεν εκεί άνθρωπον μη ενδεδυμένον ένδυμα γάμου,
11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 και λέγει προς αυτόν· Φίλε, πως εισήλθες ενταύθα μη έχων ένδυμα γάμου; Ο δε απεστομώθη.
12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 Τότε είπεν ο βασιλεύς προς τους υπηρέτας· Δέσαντες αυτού πόδας και χείρας, σηκώσατε αυτόν και ρίψατε εις το σκότος το εξώτερον· εκεί θέλει είσθαι ο κλαυθμός και ο τριγμός των οδόντων.
13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Διότι πολλοί είναι οι κεκλημένοι, ολίγοι δε οι εκλεκτοί.
14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Τότε υπήγον οι Φαρισαίοι και συνεβουλεύθησαν πως να παγιδεύσωσιν αυτόν εν λόγω.
15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 Και αποστέλλουσι προς αυτόν τους μαθητάς αυτών μετά των Ηρωδιανών, λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, εξεύρομεν ότι αληθής είσαι και την οδόν του Θεού εν αληθεία διδάσκεις και δεν σε μέλει περί ουδενός· διότι δεν βλέπεις εις πρόσωπον ανθρώπων·
16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
17 ειπέ λοιπόν προς ημάς, Τι σοι φαίνεται; είναι συγκεχωρημένον να δώσωμεν δασμόν εις τον Καίσαρα ή ουχί;
17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 Γνωρίσας δε ο Ιησούς την πονηρίαν αυτών, είπε· Τι με πειράζετε, υποκριταί;
18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 δείξατέ μοι το νόμισμα του δασμού· οι δε έφεραν προς αυτόν δηνάριον.
19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 Και λέγει προς αυτούς· Τίνος είναι η εικών αύτη και η επιγραφή;
20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 Λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Του Καίσαρος. Τότε λέγει προς αυτούς· Απόδοτε λοιπόν τα του Καίσαρος εις τον Καίσαρα και τα του Θεού εις τον Θεόν.
21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Και ακούσαντες εθαύμασαν, και αφήσαντες αυτόν ανεχώρησαν.
22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα προσήλθον προς αυτόν Σαδδουκαίοι, οι λέγοντες ότι δεν είναι ανάστασις, και ηρώτησαν αυτόν, λέγοντες·
23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 Διδάσκαλε, ο Μωϋσής είπεν, Εάν τις αποθάνη μη έχων τέκνα, θέλει νυμφευθή ο αδελφός αυτού την γυναίκα αυτού και θέλει αναστήσει σπέρμα εις τον αδελφόν αυτού.
24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 Ήσαν δε παρ' ημίν επτά αδελφοί· και ο πρώτος αφού ενυμφεύθη ετελεύτησε, και μη έχων τέκνον, αφήκε την γυναίκα αυτού εις τον αδελφόν αυτού·
25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 ομοίως και ο δεύτερος, και ο τρίτος, έως των επτά.
26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Ύστερον δε πάντων απέθανε και η γυνή.
27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.
27 After them all, the woman died.
28 Εν τη αναστάσει λοιπόν τίνος των επτά θέλει είσθαι γυνή; διότι πάντες έλαβον αυτήν.
28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Αποκριθείς δε ο Ιησούς, είπε προς αυτούς· Πλανάσθε μη γνωρίζοντες τας γραφάς μηδέ την δύναμιν του Θεού.
29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Διότι εν τη αναστάσει ούτε νυμφεύονται ούτε νυμφεύουσιν, αλλ' είναι ως άγγελοι του Θεού εν ουρανώ.
30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 Περί δε της αναστάσεως των νεκρών δεν ανεγνώσατε το ρηθέν προς εσάς υπό του Θεού, λέγοντος·
31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 Εγώ είμαι ο Θεός του Αβραάμ και ο Θεός του Ισαάκ και ο Θεός του Ιακώβ; δεν είναι ο Θεός Θεός νεκρών, αλλά ζώντων.
32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Και ακούσαντες οι όχλοι, εξεπλήττοντο διά την διδαχήν αυτού.
33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Οι δε Φαρισαίοι, ακούσαντες ότι απεστόμωσε τους Σαδδουκαίους, συνήχθησαν ομού.
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 Και εις εξ αυτών, νομικός, ηρώτησε πειράζων αυτόν και λέγων·
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 Διδάσκαλε, ποία εντολή είναι μεγάλη εν τω νόμω;
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Και ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Θέλεις αγαπά Κύριον τον Θεόν σου εξ όλης της καρδίας σου και εξ όλης της ψυχής σου και εξ όλης της διανοίας σου.
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 Αύτη είναι πρώτη και μεγάλη εντολή.
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 Δευτέρα δε ομοία αυτής· Θέλεις αγαπά τον πλησίον σου ως σεαυτόν.
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 Εν ταύταις ταις δύο εντολαίς όλος ο νόμος και οι προφήται κρέμανται.
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Και ενώ ήσαν συνηγμένοι οι Φαρισαίοι, ηρώτησεν αυτούς ο Ιησούς,
41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 λέγων· Τι σας φαίνεται περί του Χριστού; τίνος υιός είναι; Λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Του Δαβίδ.
42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 Λέγει προς αυτούς· Πως λοιπόν ο Δαβίδ διά Πνεύματος ονομάζει αυτόν Κύριον, λέγων,
43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 Είπεν ο Κύριος προς τον Κύριόν μου, Κάθου εκ δεξιών μου εωσού θέσω τους εχθρούς σου υποπόδιον των ποδών σου;
44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 Εάν λοιπόν ο Δαβίδ ονομάζη αυτόν Κύριον, πως είναι υιός αυτού;
45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 Και ουδείς ηδύνατο να αποκριθή προς αυτόν λόγον· ουδ' ετόλμησέ τις απ' εκείνης της ημέρας να ερωτήση πλέον αυτόν.
46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

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).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's." And again He answered them, "Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's." Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, …
To those, therefore, who are ignorant of these matters, and on this account imagine that they have discovered another Father, justly does one say, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
