PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Un día, Jesús estaba orando en cierto lugar. Y cuando terminó de orar, uno de sus discípulos le pidió: “Señor, por favor enséñanos a orar, así como Juan enseñó a sus discípulos”.
1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τόπῳ τινὶ προσευχόμενον, ὡς ἐπαύσατο, εἶπέ τις τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· Κύριε, δίδαξον ἡμᾶς προσεύχεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ Ἰωάννης ἐδίδαξε τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ.
2 Jesús les dijo: “Cuando oren, digan: ‘Padre, que tu nombre sea santificado. Que tu reino venga.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
2 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὅταν προσεύχησθε, λέγετε· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
3 Danos cada día el alimento que necesitamos.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3 τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν·
4◆ Perdónanos nuestros pecados, así como nosotros perdonamos a todos los que pecan contra nosotros. Guárdanos de la tentación’”.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
4 καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν· καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίεμεν παντὶ τῷ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
5 Luego Jesús siguió diciéndoles: “Supongan que tienen un amigo, y ustedes van a su casa en medio de la noche y le dicen: ‘Amigo, préstame tres panes
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
5 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕξει φίλον, καὶ πορεύσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν μεσονυκτίου καὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· φίλε, χρῆσόν μοι τρεῖς ἄρτους,
6 porque ha venido un amigo a visitarme y no tengo alimento para brindarle’.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6 ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με καὶ οὐκ ἔχω ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ·
7 Entonces ese amigo responde desde el fondo de la casa, diciendo: ‘No me molestes, ya cerré la puerta con llave y mis hijos y yo ya nos acostamos a dormir. Ahora no puedo levantarme a darte nada’.
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
7 κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθεὶς εἴπῃ· μή μοι κόπους πάρεχε· ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καὶ τὰ παιδία μου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὴν κοίτην εἰσίν· οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστὰς δοῦναί σοι;
8 Les aseguro que aunque ese amigo se niegue a levantarse y darles algo, a pesar de ser su amigo, si ustedes insisten, su amigo se levantará y les dará lo que necesitan.
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
8 λέγω ὑμῖν, εἰ καὶ οὐ δώσει αὐτῷ ἀναστὰς διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοῦ φίλον, διά γε τὴν ἀναίδειαν αὐτοῦ ἐγερθεὶς δώσει αὐτῷ ὅσων χρῄζει.
9 “Les digo entonces: pidan, y recibirán; busquen, y encontrarán; toquen puertas, y las puertas se abrirán para ustedes.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
9 κἀγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν, ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε, κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν·
10 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; todo el que busca, encuentra; y a todo el que toca la puerta, se le abre.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
10 πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιχθήσεται.
11 ¿Quién de ustedes, siendo padre, si su hijo le pide un pescado, le dará una serpiente en lugar de ello?
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
11 τίνα δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν τὸν πατέρα αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; ἢ καὶ ἰχθύν, μὴ ἀντὶ ἰχθύος ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ;
12 ¿O si le pide un huevo, le dará un escorpión?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12 ἢ καὶ ἐὰν αἰτήσῃ ᾠόν, μὴ ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ σκορπίον;
13 De modo que si ustedes, siendo malos, aun así saben darles cosas buenas a sus hijos, ¿cuánto más el Padre celestial le dará el Espíritu Santo a quienes se lo pidan?”
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
13 εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς, ὑπάρχοντες πονηροί, οἴδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ πατὴρ ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δώσει πνεῦμα ἀγαθὸν τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν;
14 Sucedió que Jesús estaba expulsando un demonio que había vuelto mudo a un hombre. Cuando el demonio salió, el hombre que había estado mudo pudo hablar, y la multitud estaba asombrada.
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
14 Καὶ ἦν ἐκβάλλων δαιμόνιον, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦν κωφόν· ἐγένετο δὲ τοῦ δαιμονίου ἐξελθόντος ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ ὄχλοι·
15 Pero algunos de ellos dijeron: “Él está expulsando demonios usando el poder de Belcebú, el príncipe de los demonios”.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπον· ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 Otros estaban tratando de probar a Jesús pidiéndole una señal milagrosa del cielo.
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16 ἕτεροι δὲ πειράζοντες σημεῖον παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐζήτουν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
17 Pero Jesús sabía lo que ellos pensaban y dijo: “Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo, será destruido. Una familia dividida contra sí misma, caerá.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17 αὐτὸς δὲ εἰδὼς αὐτῶν τὰ διανοήματα εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πᾶσα βασιλεία ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὴν διαμερισθεῖσα, ἐρημοῦται, καὶ οἶκος ἐπὶ οἶκον, πίπτει.
18 Si Satanás está dividido contra sí mismo, ¿cómo podría permanecer su reino? Ustedes dicen que yo expulso demonios por el poder de Belcebú.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18 εἰ δὲ καὶ ὁ σατανᾶς ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὸν διεμερίσθη, πῶς σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ, ὅτι λέγετε ἐν Βεελζεβούλ με ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια;
19 Pero si es así, ¿con qué poder los expulsan los hijos de ustedes? ¡Ellos mismos los condenarán por estar equivocados!
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
19 εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβαλοῦσι; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ὑμῶν ἔσονται.
20 “Sin embargo, si yo expulso demonios por el poder de Dios, entonces eso prueba que el reino de Dios ha venido. ¡Está justo aquí entre ustedes!
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
20 εἰ δὲ ἐν δακτύλῳ Θεοῦ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
21 Cuando un hombre fuerte está armado y cuida su casa, todo lo que posee está seguro.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21 ὅταν ὁ ἰσχυρὸς καθωπλισμένος φυλάσσῃ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ αὐλήν, ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐστὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ·
22 Pero si viene un hombre más fuerte y lo vence, quitándole todas sus armas, de las cuales dependía, entonces este puede llevarse todas sus posesiones.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
22 ἐπὰν δὲ ὁ ἰσχυρότερος αὐτοῦ ἐπελθὼν νικήσῃ αὐτόν, τὴν πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ αἴρει, ἐφ᾽ ᾗ ἐπεποίθει, καὶ τὰ σκῦλα αὐτοῦ διαδίδωσιν.
23 Todo el que no está conmigo, está contra mí, y todo el que no está edificando conmigo, está derribándolo todo.
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23 ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει.
24 “Cuando un espíritu maligno sale de alguien, anda por el desierto buscando un lugar donde quedarse. Pero cuando no encuentra lugar, dice: ‘Regresaré a la casa de donde salí’.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
24 Ὅταν τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, διέρχεται δι᾽ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ μὴ εὑρίσκον λέγει· ὑποστρέψω εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον·
25 Y cuando regresa, la encuentra barrida y arreglada.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25 καὶ ἐλθὸν εὑρίσκει σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον.
26 Entonces va y busca a otros siete espíritus peores que él, y ellos vienen a vivir allí. Y al final ese hombre llega a ser peor que como era antes”.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
26 τότε πορεύεται καὶ παραλαμβάνει ἑπτὰ ἕτερα πνεύματα πονηρότερα ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ εἰσελθόντα κατοικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ γίνεται τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκείνου χείρονα τῶν πρώτων.
27 Mientras hablaba, una mujer entre la multitud gritó: “Bendito el vientre del cual naciste y los pechos que te alimentaron”.
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
27 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἐπάρασά τις γυνὴ φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακαρία ἡ κοιλία ἡ βαστάσασά σε καὶ μαστοὶ οὓς ἐθήλασας.
28 Pero Jesús dijo: “Más benditos aún son los que oyen la palabra de Dios y siguen sus enseñanzas”.
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28 αὐτὸς δὲ εἶπε· μενοῦνγε μακάριοι οἱ ἀκούοντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ φυλάσσοντες αὐτόν.
29 A medida que la gente se amontonaba a su alrededor, Jesús comenzó a decir: “Esta es una generación maligna, pues están buscando una señal milagrosa, pero no se les dará ninguna señal, sino la señal de Jonás.
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
29 Τῶν δὲ ὄχλων ἐπαθροιζομένων ἤρξατο λέγειν· ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη γενεὰ πονηρά ἐστι· σημεῖον ζητεῖ, καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου.
30 Del mismo modo que Jonás fue una señal para el pueblo de Nínive, así el Hijo del hombre será una señal para esta generación.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
30 καθὼς γὰρ ἐγένετο Ἰωνᾶς σημεῖον τοῖς Νινευΐταις, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ σημεῖον.
31 La reina del sur se levantará en el juicio junto con la gente de su generación y los condenará, porque ella vino desde los confines de la tierra para escuchar la sabiduría de Salomón, ¡Y ahora está aquí uno que es más importante que Salomón!
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
31 βασίλισσα νότου ἐγερθήσεται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινεῖ αὐτούς, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἐκ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς ἀκοῦσαι τὴν σοφίαν Σολομῶντος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Σολομῶντος ὧδε.
32 El pueblo de Nínive se levantará en el juicio junto con su generación, y condenarán a esta generación, porque ellos se arrepintieron cuando oyeron el mensaje de Jonás, ¡Y ahora está aquí uno que es más importante que Jonás!
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
32 ἄνδρες Νινευῒ ἀναστήσονται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτήν, ὅτι μετενόησαν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα Ἰωνᾶ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Ἰωνᾶ ὧδε.
33 Nadie enciende una lámpara y luego la esconde bajo un tazón. No, la lámpara se coloca en un lugar alto para que todos los que entran a la casa pueda ver la luz.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
33 Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας εἰς κρυπτὴν τίθησιν οὐδὲ ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι τὸ φέγγος βλέπωσιν.
34 El ojo es la lámpara del cuerpo. Cuando tu ojo es bueno, todo tu cuerpo está lleno de luz. Pero cuando tu ojo es malo, tu cuerpo está en la oscuridad.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
34 ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός· ὅταν οὖν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς ᾖ, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινόν ἐστιν· ἐπὰν δὲ πονηρὸς ᾖ, καὶ τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινόν.
35 Entonces asegúrate de que la luz que crees tener en ti, no sea realmente oscuridad.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35 σκόπει οὖν μὴ τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν.
36 Si todo tu cuerpo está lleno de luz, sin áreas oscuras, entonces está completamente iluminado, como si una lámpara te iluminara con su luz”.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
36 εἰ οὖν τὸ σῶμά σου ὅλον φωτεινόν, μὴ ἔχον τι μέρος σκοτεινόν, ἔσται φωτεινὸν ὅλον ὡς ὅταν ὁ λύχνος τῇ ἀστραπῇ φωτίζῃ σε.
37 Después de que Jesús terminó de hablar, un Fariseo lo invitó para que fuera a comer con él. Entonces Jesús fue y se sentó a comer.
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
37 Ἐν δὲ τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἠρώτα αὐτὸν Φαρισαῖός τις ὅπως ἀριστήσῃ παρ᾽ αὐτῷ· εἰσελθὼν δὲ ἀνέπεσεν.
38 El Fariseo estaba sorprendido porque Jesús no se lavó las manos antes de comer, como se requería ceremonialmente.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38 ὁ δὲ Φαρισαῖος ἰδὼν ἐθαύμασεν ὅτι οὐ πρῶτον ἐβαπτίσθη πρὸ τοῦ ἀρίστου.
39 Entonces el Señor le dijo: “Ustedes los fariseos limpian la parte externa de la taza y del plato, pero por dentro están llenos de avaricia y maldad.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
39 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· νῦν ὑμεῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τὸ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τοῦ πίνακος καθαρίζετε, τὸ δὲ ἔσωθεν ὑμῶν γέμει ἁρπαγῆς καὶ πονηρίας.
40 ¡Son tan necios ustedes! ¿No piensan que Aquél que hizo la parte externa también hizo la parte interna?
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
40 ἄφρονες! οὐχ ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔξωθεν καὶ τὸ ἔσωθεν ἐποίησε;
41 Si, actuando desde su interior, realizan actos de bondad hacia otros, entonces todo estará limpio en ustedes.
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41 πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅπαντα καθαρὰ ὑμῖν ἔσται.
42 ¡Qué lástima por ustedes, fariseos! Porque ustedes diezman las hierbas y las plantas, pero descuidan la justicia y el amor de Dios. A esto último ustedes deben prestar atención, sin dejar de hacer lo primero.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
42 ἀλλ᾽ οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ πήγανον καὶ πᾶν λάχανον, καὶ παρέρχεσθε τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ· ταῦτα δὲ ἔδει ποιῆσαι, κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι.
43 ¡Qué lástima me dan ustedes, fariseos! Porque a ustedes les encanta tener los mejores asientos en las sinagogas, y ser saludados con respeto cuando van a las plazas del mercado.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀγαπᾶτε τὴν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς.
44 ¡Qué lástima por ustedes! Son como tumbas sin marcar, sobre las cuales camina la gente sin saberlo”.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
44 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι ἐστὲ ὡς τὰ μνημεῖα τὰ ἄδηλα, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι περιπατοῦντες ἐπάνω οὐκ οἴδασιν.
45 Uno de los expertos en leyes religiosas reaccionó, diciendo: “¡Maestro, cuando hablas así, también nos insultas a nosotros!”
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45 Ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα λέγων καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις.
46 Entonces Jesús respondió: “¡Qué lástima me dan ustedes, intérpretes de la ley! Porque ustedes ponen sobre la gente cargas difíciles de soportar, pero ustedes no mueven ni un dedo por ayudarlos.
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
46 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς οὐαί, ὅτι φορτίζετε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φορτία δυσβάστακτα, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἑνὶ τῶν δακτύλων ὑμῶν οὐ προσψαύετε τοῖς φορτίοις.
47 ¡Qué lástima me dan ustedes! ¡Ustedes construyen tumbas en honor a los profetas, pero fueron sus propios padres quienes los mataron!
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
47 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οἰκοδομεῖτε τὰ μνημεῖα τῶν προφητῶν, οἱ δὲ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς.
48 Al hacer esto, ustedes son testigos que muestran estar de acuerdo con lo que sus padres hicieron. ¡Ellos mataron a los profetas, y ustedes construyeron sus tumbas!
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
48 ἄρα μαρτυρεῖτε καὶ συνευδοκεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, ὅτι αὐτοὶ μὲν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς, ὑμεῖς δὲ οἰκοδομεῖτε αὐτῶν τὰ μνημεῖα.
49 “Por eso es que Dios en su sabiduría dijo: ‘Les enviaré profetas y apóstoles; a algunos los matarán, y a otros los perseguirán’.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
49 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡ σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ εἶπεν· ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς προφήτας καὶ ἀποστόλους, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοῦσι καὶ ἐκδιώξουσιν,
50 Por lo tanto, esta generación será responsable de la sangre derramada por todos los profetas, desde la creación del mundo,
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
50 ἵνα ἐκζητηθῇ τὸ αἷμα πάντων τῶν προφητῶν τὸ ἐκχυνόμενον ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης,
51 desde la sangre de Abel hasta la sangre de Zacarías, quien fue asesinado entre el altar y el santuario. Sí, yo les aseguro que esta generación será responsable de ello.
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
51 ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος Ἄβελ ἕως τοῦ αἵματος Ζαχαρίου τοῦ ἀπολομένου μεταξὺ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου· ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐκζητηθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
52 ¡Qué lástima me dan ustedes! Pues le han quitado a la gente la llave de las puertas del conocimiento. Ni ustedes entraron, ni permitieron que otros entraran”.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
52 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς, ὅτι ἤρατε τὴν κλεῖδα τῆς γνώσεως· αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσήλθετε, καὶ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἐκωλύσατε.
53 Cuando Jesús se iba, los maestros religiosos y los fariseos comenzaron a atacarlo duramente, haciéndole preguntas para provocarlo.
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
53 λέγοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ταῦτα ἤρξαντο οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι δεινῶς ἐνέχειν καὶ ἀποστοματίζειν αὐτὸν περὶ πλειόνων,
54 Ellos esperaban atraparlo, tratando de que él dijera algo que pudieran usar contra él.
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
54 ἐνεδρεύοντες αὐτόν, ζητοῦντες θηρεῦσαί τι ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.

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).

    Or if he ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then," saith He, "though ye be evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

  4. Quotes verse 11:17 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily I)

    Whereas, if they were in discord, neither could this have been pointed out, and the doctrine itself had long since been brought to nought: "for every kingdom," saith He, "divided against itself shall not stand." But now even in this shines forth the might of the Spirit, namely, in that it prevailed on these men, engaged as they were in …
