PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos: “Las tentaciones son inevitables, pero ¡cuán desastroso será para aquellos por medio de los cuales vienen las tentaciones!
1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
1 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· ἀνένδεκτόν ἐστι τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· οὐαὶ δὲ δι᾽ οὗ ἔρχεται.
2 Para esas personas sería mejor que se colgaran un molino en su cuello y sean lanzados al mar antes que hacer pecar a uno de estos pequeños.
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
2 λυσιτελεῖ αὐτῷ εἰ λίθος μυλικὸς περίκειται περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρριπται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἢ ἵνα σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.
3 Así que tengan cuidado con lo que hacen. Si tu hermano peca, adviértele de ello; y si se arrepiente, perdónalo.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
3 προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς. ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ἐπιτίμησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες αὐτῷ·
4 Incluso si peca contra ti siete veces en un día, y siete veces regresa y te dice ‘lo siento mucho,’ perdónalo”.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
4 καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ καὶ ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπιστρέψῃ [πρός σε] λέγων, μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ.
5 Los apóstoles le dijeron al Señor: “¡Ayúdanos a tener más fe!”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
5 Καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῷ Κυρίῳ· πρόσθες ἡμῖν πίστιν.
6 El señor respondió: “Incluso si su fe fuera tan pequeña como una semilla de mostaza, ustedes podrían decirle a este árbol de mora: ‘Desentiérrate y plántate en el mar,’ y los obedecería.
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
6 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· εἰ ἔχετε πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως, ἐλέγετε ἂν τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ, ἐκριζώθητι καὶ φυτεύθητι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ὑπήκουσεν ἂν ὑμῖν.
7 “Supongan que tienen un siervo que hace labores de arado o pastoreo. Cuando regresa del trabajo, ¿le dicen ustedes ‘entra y siéntate a comer’?
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
7 Τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε,
8 No. Ustedes le dicen: ‘Prepárame una comida, vístete y sírveme hasta que haya terminado de comer. Después de eso puedes comer tú’.
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
8 ἀλλ᾽ οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ;
9 Y luego, ¿agradecen al siervo por hacer lo que le pidieron que hiciera? No.
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
9 μὴ χάριν ἔχει τῷ δούλῳ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι ἐποίησε τὰ διαταχθέντα; οὐ δοκῶ.
10 De la misma manera, cuando ustedes hayan hecho todo lo que se les encargó, simplemente digan: ‘Somos siervos indignos. Solo cumplimos con nuestro deber’”.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
10 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ποιήσητε πάντα τὰ διαταχθέντα ὑμῖν, λέγετε ὅτι δοῦλοι ἀχρεῖοί ἐσμεν, ὅτι ὃ ὠφείλομεν ποιῆσαι πεποιήκαμεν.
11 Mientras continuaba de camino hacia Jerusalén, Jesús pasó por la frontera entre Samaria y Galilea.
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
11 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ αὐτὸς διήρχετο διὰ μέσου Σαμαρείας καὶ Γαλιλαίας.
12 Cuando llegó a cierta aldea, diez leprosos fueron a su encuentro, y se quedaron a la distancia.
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
12 καὶ εἰσερχομένου αὐτοῦ εἴς τινα κώμην ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ δέκα λεπροὶ ἄνδρες, οἳ ἔστησαν πόρρωθεν,
13 Y desde allí le gritaron: “Jesús, Maestro, por favor, ten misericordia de nosotros”.
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
13 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦραν φωνὴν λέγοντες· Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
14 Cuando Jesús los vio, les dijo: “Vayan y preséntense ante los sacerdotes”. Y mientras iban de camino, fueron sanados.
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
14 καὶ ἰδὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.
15 Uno de ellos, cuando vio que estaba sano, regresó donde Jesús, exclamando alabanzas a Dios.
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
15 εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη, ὑπέστρεψε μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν,
16 Entonces se arrodilló ante los pies de Jesús, agradeciéndole. Y era un samaritano.
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
16 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν Σαμαρείτης.
17 “¿No fueron sanados diez leprosos?” preguntó Jesús. “¿Dónde están los otros nueve?
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
17 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν; οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ;
18 ¿No hubo ninguno que quisiera venir y alabar a Dios excepto este extranjero?”
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
18 οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ὑποστρέψαντες δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς οὗτος;
19 Entonces Jesús le dijo al hombre: “Levántate y sigue tu camino. Tu fe te ha sanado”.
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀναστὰς πορεύου· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
20 En cierta ocasión, cuando los fariseos vinieron y le preguntaron cuándo vendría el reino de Dios, Jesús respondió: “El reino de Dios no viene con señales visibles que ustedes puedan ver.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
20 Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,
21 La gente no andará por ahí diciendo: ‘Miren, está aquí’ o ‘Miren, está allá,’ porque el reino de Dios está entre ustedes”.
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
21 οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
22 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Viene el tiempo cuando ustedes anhelarán ver el día en que venga el Hijo del hombre, pero no lo verán.
22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
22 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.
23 Ellos les dirán: ‘Miren, allí está,’ o ‘miren, está aquí,’ pero no vayan detrás de ellos.
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
23 καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.
24 El día en que venga el Hijo del hombre será como el resplandor de un rayo en el cielo, que va de un lado al otro.
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
24 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.
25 Pero primero él tendrá que sufrir muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por esta generación.
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
25 πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
26 El tiempo cuando venga el Hijo del hombre será como los días de Noé.
26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
26 καὶ καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
27 La gente seguía comiendo y bebiendo, casándose y dándose en casamiento hasta el día en que Noé entró al arca. Entonces vino el diluvio y los destruyó a todos.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
27 ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἐγάμουν, ἐξεγαμίζοντο, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
28 Será como en los días de Lot. La gente seguía comiendo y bebiendo, comprando y vendiendo, plantando y construyendo.
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
28 ὁμοίως καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν·
29 Pero el día que Lot partió de Sodoma, llovió fuego y azufre del cielo y los destruyó a todos.
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
29 ᾗ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξῆλθε Λὼτ ἀπὸ Σοδόμων, ἔβρεξε πῦρ καὶ θεῖον ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
30 “El día que el Hijo del hombre aparezca será así.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
30 κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποκαλύπτεται.
31 Así que si ustedes están arriba en el tejado ese día, no desciendan a recoger sus cosas; y si están afuera en el campo, tampoco regresen a la casa.
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
31 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
32 ¡Acuérdense de la esposa de Lot!
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
32 μνημονεύετε τῆς γυναικὸς Λώτ.
33 Si ustedes tratan de aferrarse a sus vidas, la perderán; pero si pierden su vida, la salvarán.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
33 ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ αὐτήν, ζωογονήσει αὐτήν.
34 Les aseguro que en ese tiempo habrá dos personas en una cama; una será tomada y la otra será dejada.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
34 λέγω ὑμῖν, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ δύο ἔσονται ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται·
35 Habrá dos mujeres moliendo trigo, una será tomada, y la otra será dejada”.
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
35 δύο ἔσονται ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, μία παραληφθήσεται καὶ ἡ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται·
36 Not in this translation

36 δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται.
37 “¿Dónde, Señor?” preguntaron ellos. “Donde está el cadáver se amontonan los buitres”, respondió Jesús.
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
37 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται [καὶ] οἱ ἀετοί.

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).

  1. Commentary 17:3 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXIV)

    The Holy Gospel which we heard just now as it was being read, has admonished touching the remission of sins. And on this subject must ye be admonished now by my discourse.
