1 Mientras tanto, la multitud había crecido hasta llegar a ser miles, y se empujaban unos a otros. Jesús habló primero con sus discípulos. “Cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos, de la hipocresía.
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Porque no hay nada oculto que no se revele, nada secreto que no llegue a saberse.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
3 Todo lo que ustedes hayan dicho en la oscuridad, se oirá a plena luz, y todo lo que ustedes susurren en privado será anunciado desde las azoteas.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Les aseguro, mis amigos, no tengan miedo de los que matan el cuerpo, porque cuando lo hayan hecho, no hay nada más que puedan hacer.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Déjenme aclararles a qué deben tenerle miedo: Teman a quien después de haber matado el cuerpo, tiene el poder de lanzarlo en el Gehena. De ese deben tener miedo.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
6 ¿Acaso no se venden cinco gorriones por dos centavos? Pero Dios no se olvida de ninguno de ellos.
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Incluso los cabellos de sus cabezas han sido contados. ¡No tengan miedo, pues ustedes valen más que dos gorriones!
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Les aseguro que aquellos que declaran que me pertenecen, el Hijo del hombre también dirá que le pertenecen, delante de los ángeles de Dios.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
9 Pero aquellos que me niegan, también serán negados ante los ángeles de Dios.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
10 Todo el que habla en contra del Hijo del hombre, será perdonado, pero el que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo, no será perdonado.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 “Cuando sean llevados para ser juzgados en las sinagogas, ante los gobernantes, y las autoridades, no tengan miedo sobre cómo van a defenderse, o lo que dirán.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
12 El Espíritu Santo les enseñará en ese momento lo que es importante que digan”.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13 Y uno que estaba en la multitud le preguntó a Jesús: “Maestro, por favor, dile a mi hermano que comparta su herencia conmigo”.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 “Amigo mío”, respondió Jesús, “¿Quién me designó como juez para decidir si esa herencia debe dividirse?” Entonces le dijo a la gente:
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 “Estén alerta, y cuídense de todo pensamiento y acción de avaricia, pues la vida de una persona no se mide por la cantidad de posesiones que tiene”.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 Entonces les contó un relato como ilustración: “Había un hombre rico que poseía una tierra que era muy productiva.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 Después de pensar bien las cosas, este hombre pensó para sí: ‘¿Qué haré? No tengo dónde guardar mis cosechas’.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18 ‘Ya sé lo que haré’, concluyó. ‘Derribaré mis graneros y construiré unos más grandes, y luego podré guardar todas las cosechas y todas mis posesiones.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 Entonces podré decirme a mí mismo: Tienes suficiente para vivir por muchos años, así que relájate, come, bebe y diviértete’.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 Pero Dios le dijo: ‘¡Hombre necio! Esta misma noche vienen a quitarte la vida, ¿quién se quedará entonces con todo lo que has guardado?’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21 Esto es lo que ocurre con las personas que acumulan riqueza para sí mismas, pero no son ricos en relación con Dios”.
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Entonces Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos: “Por eso les digo que no se preocupen por las cosas de la vida, por lo que van a comer, o por la ropa que deben usar.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 La vida es más que el comer, y el cuerpo es más que el vestir.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Miren las aves. Ellas no cosen ni recogen cosechas, no tienen graneros ni almacenes, pero Dios las alimenta. ¡Y ustedes son mucho más valiosos que las aves!
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25 ¿Acaso pueden ustedes añadir una hora a su vida preocupándose por ello?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Si no pueden hacer nada por cosas tan pequeñas, ¿por qué preocuparse por lo demás?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Piensen en los lirios y cómo crecen. Ellos no trabajan ni hilan para hacer ropa, pero yo les aseguro que ni siquiera Salomón en toda su gloria usó vestidos tan hermosos como uno de ellos.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 “Así que si Dios viste los campos con flores tan hermosas, que hoy están aquí y mañana son quemadas para calentar un horno, ¡cuánto más Dios los vestirá a ustedes, hombres de poca fe!
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 No se preocupen por lo que van a comer o beber, no se preocupen por ello.
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Todas estas son las cosas por las que se preocupa la gente en el mundo, pero su Padre sabe que ustedes las necesitan.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Busquen el reino de Dios, y se les darán estas cosas también.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
32 No tengan miedo, pequeño rebaño, porque su Padre se alegra en darles el reino.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Vendan lo que tienen, y denle el dinero a los pobres. Tomen tesoros que no se agotan: tesoros en el cielo que nunca se acabarán, donde ningún ladrón puede robarlo, ni el moho puede destruirlo.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 Porque sus corazones estarán donde esté su tesoro.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Vístanse y estén listos, y mantengan sus lámparas encendidas,
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
36 como siervos que esperan a su maestro cuando regrese de la fiesta de bodas, preparados para abrir rápidamente cuando él llegue y toque la puerta.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Cuán bueno será para los siervos a quienes el maestro encuentre despiertos cuando él regrese. ¡Les aseguro que el maestro se vestirá, los mandará a sentarse para comer, y él mismo les servirá a ellos!
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 “Incluso si llega a la media noche, o antes del amanecer, ¡cuán bueno será para ellos si los encuentra despiertos y listos!
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
39 Pero recuerden esto: si el dueño de una casa supiera cuándo viene un ladrón, permanecería alerta y no dejaría que entre en su casa.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Ustedes también deben estar listos, porque el Hijo del hombre viene cuando ustedes no lo esperan”.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 “Este relato que nos cuentas, ¿es solamente para nosotros, o es para todos?” preguntó Pedro.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 El Señor respondió: “¿Quién es el mayordomo fiel y sabio, el miembro de la familia a quien el dueño encarga para que reparta el alimento a su debido tiempo?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Será bueno para ese siervo cuando su amo regrese y lo encuentre haciendo su deber.
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Les aseguro, que el amo de la casa pondrá a ese siervo a cargo de todo.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
45 Pero ¿qué sucedería si el siervo pensara: ‘Mi amo se está demorando en venir,’ y entonces comenzara a golpear a los otros siervos, hombres y mujeres, festejando y emborrachándose?
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
46 El amo de ese siervo regresará sorpresivamente un día, en el momento que no lo esperaba el siervo, y lo castigará severamente, tratándolo como un completo siervo infiel.
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 “Ese siervo, que sabía lo que su amo quería, pero no se preparó ni siguió sus instrucciones, será golpeado con severidad;
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 pero el siervo que no sabía e hizo cosas que merecían castigo, solo recibirá un castigo suave. Porque a aquellos a quienes se les entrega mucho, se les exigirá mucho, y a aquellos a quienes se les confió más, se les exigirá más.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 ¡Yo he venido a prenderle fuego a la tierra, y en realidad desearía que ya estuviera ardiendo!
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 ¡Pero tengo un bautismo por el cual pasar, y estoy en agonía, deseando que ya termine!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 ¿Ustedes creen que vine a traer paz a la tierra? No, les aseguro que traigo división.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Desde ahora, si hay cinco personas en una familia, estarán divididos unos contra otros: tres contra dos, y dos contra tres.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Estarán divididos unos contra otros: el padre contra el hijo, el hijo contra el padre, la madre contra la hija, la hija contra la madre, la suegra contra su nuera, y la nuera contra su suegra”.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Entonces Jesús les habló a las multitudes: “Cuando ustedes ven una nube que se levanta en el oeste, de inmediato dicen: ‘va a llover,’ y así sucede.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55 Cuando sopla un viento del sur, ustedes dicen: ‘va a hacer calor,’ y así ocurre.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56 Hipócritas, ¿cómo es posible que sepan interpretar correctamente el estado del clima, pero no sepan interpretar el tiempo presente?
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57 ¿Por qué no piensan por ustedes mismo y juzgan lo que es recto?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Cuando vayan a la corte con la persona que los acusa, deben tratar de llegar a un acuerdo mientras van por el camino. De lo contrario, podrían ser arrastrados ante el juez, y el juez los mandará ante el oficial, y el oficial los llevará a la prisión.
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 Les aseguro que no saldrán de ahí hasta que hayan pagado el último centavo”.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”

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).
I doubt not but that ye who fear God, do hear His word with awe, and execute it with cheerfulness; that what He hath promised, ye may at present hope for, hereafter receive. We have just now heard the Lord Christ Jesus, the Son of God, giving us a precept.

And to this He refers when He says, "And I have another baptism to be baptized with, and I hasten eagerly towards it." Moreover, they affirm that the Lord added this redemption to the sons of Zebedee, when their mother asked that they might sit, the one on His right hand, and the other on His left, in His kingdom, …
If this be so, then that is false which Christ says, "Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do;" for it seems they can do great injury to the dead body.

"For mighty" men (it is said) "shall be mightily tormented:" and "He that knew his Lord's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." So that more knowledge is a ground of more punishment.

And he who says again that the Father is one, and the maker of the world another, opposes the Son when He says, If then God so clothes the grass of the field which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace of fire; and, Who maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, …
