PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jesús entró a Jericó y caminó por la ciudad.
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
1 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν διήρχετο τὴν Ἱεριχώ·
2 Había allí un hombre llamado Zaqueo, quien era jefe entre los recaudadores de impuestos. Era un hombre muy rico.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι καλούμενος Ζακχαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἀρχιτελώνης, καὶ οὗτος ἦν πλούσιος,
3 Y quería ver quién era Jesús, pero como era bajo en estatura, no podía ver por encima de la multitud.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
3 καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν τίς ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν.
4 Así que corrió adelante y se montó sobre un árbol de sicomoro para ver pasar a Jesús.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
4 καὶ προδραμὼν ἔμπροσθεν ἀνέβη ἐπὶ συκομορέαν, ἵνα ἴδῃ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐκείνης ἤμελλε διέρχεσθαι.
5 Cuando Jesús llegó hasta allí, miró hacia arriba y dijo: “¡Zaqueo, bájate de allí pronto! Necesito quedarme en tu casa esta noche”.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
5 καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ἀναβλέψας ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶδεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· Ζακχαῖε, σπεύσας κατάβηθι· σήμερον γὰρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου δεῖ με μεῖναι.
6 Zaqueo descendió rápidamente del árbol y estaba muy feliz de recibir a Jesús en su casa.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
6 καὶ σπεύσας κατέβη, καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν χαίρων.
7 Cuando la gente vio esto, todos comenzaron a protestar: “¡Ha ido a quedarse con ese pecador!”
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
7 καὶ ἰδόντες πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθε καταλῦσαι.
8 Pero Zaqueo se puso en pie y dijo delante del Señor: “¡Mira, daré la mitad de todo lo que poseo a los pobres, y si he estafado a alguno, le pagaré hasta cuatro veces!”
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
8 σταθεὶς δὲ Ζακχαῖος εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Κύριον· ἰδοὺ τὰ ἡμίση τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδωμι τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν.
9 Jesús le respondió diciendo: “Hoy ha venido la salvación a esta casa, porque este hombre ha demostrado que es hijo de Abraham también.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι σήμερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν.
10 Porque el Hijo del hombre vino a buscar y a salvar a los que están perdidos”.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
10 ἦλθε γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.
11 Mientras aún estaban atentos a esto, Jesús les contó un relato, porque ya estaban cerca de Jerusalén y la gente pensaba que el reino de Dios iba a ser una realidad inmediata.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
11 Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς εἶπε παραβολήν, διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς αὐτὸν εἶναι Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι·
12 “En cierta ocasión había un noble, que partió de su casa y se fue a un país lejano para ser coronado como rey y luego volver.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
12 εἶπεν οὖν· ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
13 Llamó a diez de sus siervos, dividió el dinero por partes iguales entre ellos y les dijo: ‘Inviertan mi dinero hasta que yo regrese’.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
13 καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πραγματεύσασθε ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι.
14 Pero su pueblo lo odiaba, y enviaron una delegación por anticipado para que dijeran: ‘No queremos tener a este hombre como rey para nosotros’.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
14 οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς.
15 Después de haber sido coronado como rey, regresó. Entonces mandó a traer a sus siervos. Quería saber qué ganancia habían obtenido al invertir el dinero que les había dado.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ εἶπε φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς ἔδωκε τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ τίς τί διεπραγματεύσατο.
16 El primer siervo vino y dijo: ‘Señor, tu dinero ha producido hasta diez veces’.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
16 παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου προσειργάσατο δέκα μνᾶς.
17 “‘¡Bien hecho! Eres un buen siervo,’ dijo el rey. ‘Como has demostrado que eres fiel en cosas pequeñas, te pondré a cargo de diez ciudades’.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εὖ, ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε! ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.
18 “Luego entró el segundo siervo y dijo: ‘Señor, tu dinero ha producido hasta cinco veces’.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
18 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου ἐποίησε πέντε μνᾶς.
19 “‘Te pondré a cargo de cinco ciudades,’ le dijo el rey.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
19 εἶπε δὲ καὶ τούτῳ· καὶ σὺ γίνου ἐπάνω πέντε πόλεων.
20 “Otro siervo entró y dijo: ‘Señor, mira, aquí te devuelvo tu dinero. Lo guardé y lo envolví en un paño.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
20 καὶ ἕτερος ἦλθε λέγων· κύριε, ἰδοὺ ἡ μνᾶ σου, ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ.
21 Tuve miedo de ti porque eres un hombre duro. Tomas lo que no te pertenece y cosechas lo que no sembraste’.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
21 ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ· αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας, καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρας, καὶ συνάγεις ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας.
22 “‘Te juzgaré por tus propias palabras,’ respondió el rey. ‘Sabes que soy un hombre duro, “que tomo lo que no me pertenece, y cosecho lo que no sembré”.
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
22 λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρινῶ σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ᾔδεις ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι ἐγώ, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα·
23 ¿Por qué no depositaste mi dinero en el banco, para que cuando yo regresara pudiera recibir mi dinero con intereses?’
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
23 καὶ διατί οὐκ ἔδωκας τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν σὺν τόκῳ ἂν ἔπραξα αὐτό;
24 “Entonces el rey dijo a los que estaban junto a él: ‘Quítenle el dinero, y dénselo al que produjo hasta diez veces’.
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
24 καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν· ἄρατε ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν καὶ δότε τῷ τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἔχοντι.
25 “‘Pero señor, ya él tiene diez veces más,’ respondieron ellos.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
25 [καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· κύριε, ἔχει δέκα μνᾶς.]
26 “A lo cual el rey respondió: ‘Les aseguro que a los que tienen se les dará más; pero a los que no tienen, incluso lo que no tienen se les quitará.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
26 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἔχοντι δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
27 Y en cuanto a mis enemigos, los que no querían que yo fuera su rey, tráiganmelos aquí y mátenlos en frente de mí’”.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
27 πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐκείνους, τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἔμπροσθέν μου.
28 Después que terminó de contarles este relato, Jesús partió hacia Jerusalén, caminando adelante.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
28 Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
29 Cuando se acercaba a Betfagé y Betania en el Monte de los Olivos, envió a dos discípulos, diciéndoles:
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤγγισεν εἰς Βηθσφαγῆ καὶ Βηθανίαν πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον ἐλαιῶν, ἀπέστειλε δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ
30 “Adelántense a la siguiente aldea. Y cuando entren encontrarán un potro atado, el cual nadie ha montado todavía. Desátenlo y tráiganlo aquí.
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
30 εἰπών· ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κατέναντι κώμην, ἐν ᾗ εἰσπορευόμενοι εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον, ἐφ᾽ ὃν οὐδεὶς πώποτε ἀνθρώπων ἐκάθισε· λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε.
31 Y si alguien les pregunta: ‘¿Por qué lo están desatando?’ solo digan: ‘El Señor lo necesita’”.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
31 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, διατί λύετε; οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
32 Así que los dos discípulos fueron y encontraron todo como Jesús lo había dicho.
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
32 ἀπελθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι εὗρον καθὼς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἑστῶτα τὸν πῶλον·
33 Cuando estaban desatando el potro, sus propietarios preguntaron: “¿Por qué están desatando el potro?”
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
33 λυόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον εἶπον οἱ κύριοι αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτούς· τί λύετε τὸν πῶλον;
34 Entonces los discípulos respondieron; “El Señor lo necesita”.
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
34 οἱ δὲ εἶπον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
35 Y trajeron el potro a Jesús. Luego pusieron sus mantos sobre él, y Jesús se montó en su lomo.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
35 καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιρρίψαντες ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
36 Mientras cabalgaba, la gente extendía sus mantos sobre el camino.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
36 πορευομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ὑπεστρώννυον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
37 Cuando se aproximaba a Jerusalén, justo en el sitio donde el camino empieza a descender desde Monte de los Olivos, la multitud de discípulos comenzó a gritar alabanzas a Dios a toda voz, por todos los milagros que habían visto.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
37 ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤδη πρὸς τῇ καταβάσει τοῦ ὄρους τῶν ἐλαιῶν ἤρξατο ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν χαίροντες αἰνεῖν τὸν Θεὸν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ περὶ πασῶν ὧν εἶδον δυνάμεων
38 “Bendito es el rey que viene en el nombre del Señor”, gritaban. “Paz en el cielo, y gloria en lo más alto de los cielos”.
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
38 λέγοντες· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος βασιλεὺς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· εἰρήνη ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις.
39 Y algunos de los fariseos que estaban entre la multitud, le dijeron a Jesús: “Maestro, dile a tus discípulos que dejen de decir eso”.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
39 καί τινες τῶν Φαρισαίων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· διδάσκαλε, ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου.
40 Pero Jesús respondió: “¡Les aseguro que si ellos se callaran, entonces las piedras gritarían!”
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσωσιν, οἱ λίθοι κεκράξονται.
41 Pero a medida que se acercaba, vio la ciudad y lloró por ella.
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
41 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν, ἰδὼν τὴν πόλιν ἔκλαυσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ,
42 “¡En realidad desearía que tú, entre todas las naciones, conocieras el camino que conduce a la paz!” dijo. “Pero ahora está oculto de tus ojos.
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
42 λέγων ὅτι εἰ ἔγνως καὶ σύ, καί γε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ σου ταύτῃ, τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην σου! νῦν δὲ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου·
43 Sobre ti viene el tiempo en que tus enemigos te sitiarán, construyendo rampas para atacarte, rodeándote y encerrándote por todos lados.
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
43 ὅτι ἥξουσιν ἡμέραι ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ περιβαλοῦσιν οἱ ἐχθροί σου χάρακά σοι καὶ περικυκλώσουσί σε καὶ συνέξουσί σε πάντοθεν,
44 Te aplastarán contra el suelo, a ti y a tus hijos contigo. No dejarán ninguna piedra sobre otra dentro de ti, porque no aceptaste la salvación cuando vino a ti”.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
44 καὶ ἐδαφιοῦσί σε καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐν σοί, καὶ οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ λίθον ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἔγνως τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς σου.
45 Jesús entró al Templo y comenzó a sacar a todas las personas que estaban haciendo negocios allí.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγοράζοντας
46 Les dijo: “Las Escrituras dicen que ‘mi casa será una casa de oración,’ pero ustedes la han convertido en una cueva de ladrones”.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
46 λέγων αὐτοῖς· γέγραπται ὅτι ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς ἐστιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
47 Y enseñaba en el Templo todos los días. Los jefes de los sacerdotes, los maestros religiosos y los líderes del pueblo estaban tratando de matarlo.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
47 Καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
48 Pero no podían encontrar una manera de hacerlo porque todos lo apreciaban, y estaban atentos a cada palabra que decía.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
48 καὶ οὐχ εὕρισκον τὸ τί ποιήσουσιν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἅπας ἐξεκρέματο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων.

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. Quotes verse 19:5 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    … in the animal class;--the spiritual, again, when He said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the kingdom of God," and when He said to Zaccheus the publican, "Make haste, and come down, for to-day I must abide in thine house" --for these they declared to have belonged to the spiritual class.

  2. Quotes verse 19:10 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapter 4)

    For not only to God the Father, but also to His Only-begotten, who came to seek what was lost, we had been known already even so far as to be chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.

  3. Quotes verse 19:40 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XIII)

    Why, these things, if we be silent "the stones will immediately cry out;" so plain are they, and manifest, and more lucid than the sunbeam itself.

  4. Quotes verse 19:23 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    Guard them with reverence, lest per chance the enemy despoil any who have grown slack; or lest some heretic pervert any of the truths delivered to you. For faith is like putting money into the bank, even as we have now done; but from you God requires the accounts of the deposit.

  5. Quotes verse 19:42 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XX–XXI)

    Further, when, as He drew nigh to Jerusalem, He wept over it and said, "If thou hadst known, even thou, in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace, but they are hidden from thee," by this word "hidden" He showed the abstruse nature of Bythus.
