PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 En cierta ocasión Jesús estaba enseñando en el Templo a la gente, diciéndoles la buena noticia. Y algunos de los jefes de los sacerdotes y maestros religiosos vinieron con los ancianos.
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου ἐπέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις
2 Entonces le preguntaron: “Dinos: ¿con qué autoridad estás haciendo esto? ¿Quién te dio el derecho para hacerlo?”
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
2 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰπὲ ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;
3 “Déjenme hacerles una pregunta también”, respondió Jesús. “Díganme:
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
3 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ ἕνα λόγον, καὶ εἴπατέ μοι·
4 el bautismo de Juan, ¿provenía del cielo, o era solo un bautismo humano?”
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
4 τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων;
5 Entonces ellos consultaron entre sí, diciendo: “Si decimos que venía del cielo, él nos preguntará: ‘Entonces ¿por qué no creyeron en él?’
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
5 οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ, διατί οὖν οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;
6 Y si decimos que solo era un bautismo humano, todos nos apedrearán porque ellos están seguros de que Juan era un profeta”.
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
6 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς· πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι.
7 Así que respondieron, diciendo: “No sabemos de dónde venía”.
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
7 καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν.
8 A lo cual Jesús respondió: “Entonces yo no les diré con qué autoridad hago lo que hago”.
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
8 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
9 Luego comenzó a contarle un relato a las personas: “Había una vez un hombre que sembró una viña, la arrendó a unos granjeros y se fue a vivir a otro país por un largo tiempo.
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
9 Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἄνθρωπός τις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ἐξέδοτο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησε χρόνους ἱκανούς.
10 Cuando llegó el tiempo de la cosecha, el dueño envió un siervo donde los granjeros para que recogiera de la cosecha, pero los granjeros golpearon al siervo y lo echaron con las manos vacías.
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
10 καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ δείραντες αὐτὸν ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
11 Así que el propietario envió a otro siervo, pero también lo golpearon y lo maltrataron terriblemente, y lo echaron con las manos vacías.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
11 καὶ προσέθετο αὐτοῖς πέμψαι ἕτερον δοῦλον. οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
12 Entonces el propietario envió a un tercer siervo, y ellos lo hirieron, y lo lanzaron fuera.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
12 καὶ προσέθετο πέμψαι τρίτον. οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον.
13 “Luego el propietario de la viña se preguntó a sí mismo: ‘¿Qué haré? Ya sé, enviaré a mi hijo, al que amo. Quizás a él lo respetarán’.
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
13 εἶπε δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος· τί ποιήσω; πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν· ἴσως τοῦτον ἰδόντες ἐντραπήσονται.
14 Pero cuando lo vieron venir, los granjeros debatieron entre ellos y dijeron: ‘Este es el heredero del dueño. ¡Matémoslo! Así podremos quedarnos con su herencia’.
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
14 ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία.
15 Entonces lo lanzaron fuera de la viña y lo mataron. Ahora, ¿qué hará el dueño de la viña con ellos?
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
15 καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος ἀπέκτειναν. τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος;
16 Vendrá y los matará y le entregará la viña a otros”. Cuando ellos oyeron este relato, dijeron: “¡Ojalá que nunca ocurra eso!”
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
16 ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους, καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις. ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπον· μὴ γένοιτο.
17 Pero Jesús los miró y dijo: “Entonces ¿por qué dicen las Escrituras: ‘La piedra que los constructores rechazaron se ha convertido en la piedra angular’?
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
17 ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπε· τί οὖν ἐστι τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας;
18 Todo el que se tropieza con esa piedra, se hará pedazos; y aplastará a aquellos a quienes les caiga encima”.
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
18 πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ᾽ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ᾽ ὃν δ᾽ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.
19 E inmediatamente los maestros religiosos y los jefes de los sacerdotes quisieron arrestarlo porque se dieron cuenta de que el relato que Jesús había contado estaba dirigido contra a ellos, pero tenían miedo de lo que la gente pudiera hacer.
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
19 Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὰς παραβολὰς ἔλεγε.
20 Así que esperando la oportunidad, enviaron espías que se hicieron pasar por hombres sinceros. Ellos trataban de sorprender a Jesús diciendo algo que les permitiera entregarlo al poder y autoridad del gobernador.
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
20 Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους, ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου εἰς τὸ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.
21 Entonces le dijeron: “Maestro, sabemos que enseñas lo que es recto, y que no te dejas persuadir por la opinión de los demás. Tú realmente enseñas el camino de Dios.
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
21 καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις·
22 ¿Deberíamos pagar los impuestos al Cesar, o no?”
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
22 ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;
23 Pero Jesús se dio cuenta de su trampa, y les dijo:
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
23 κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί με πειράζετε;
24 “Muéstrenme una moneda, un denario. ¿De quién es la imagen y la inscripción que están en ella?” “Es del césar”, respondieron ellos.
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
24 δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον· τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν; ἀποκριθέντες δὲ εἶπον· Καίσαρος.
25 “Entonces páguenle al César lo que le corresponde al César, y páguenle a Dios lo que le corresponde a Dios”, les dijo.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
25 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀπόδοτε τοίνυν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ.
26 Y ellos no pudieron atraparlo por lo que le dijo a la gente. Quedaron pasmados con esta respuesta, y se quedaron en silencio.
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
26 καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι αὐτοῦ ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.
27 Entonces vinieron unos Saduceos, quienes no creen en la resurrección, y le hicieron a Jesús la siguiente pregunta:
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
27 Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
28 “Maestro”, comenzaron, “Moisés nos dio una ley que dice que si un hombre casado muere y deja a su esposa sin hijos, entonces su hermano debe casarse con la viuda y tener hijos por ese hermano que murió.
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
28 λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν, ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ἀποθάνῃ, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
29 Había siete hermanos. El primero tuvo una esposa y murió sin tener hijos.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
29 ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
30 Luego el segundo
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
30 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ δεύτερος τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
31 y el tercer hermano se casaron con ella. Al final todos los siete hermanos se casaron con ella, y murieron sin tener hijos.
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
31 καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ὡσαύτως· ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτά· οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα, καὶ ἀπέθανον·
32 Finalmente ella también murió.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
32 ὕστερον δὲ πάντων καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
33 Ahora, ¿cuál de todos será su esposo en la resurrección, siendo que todos los siete hermanos se casaron con ella?”
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
33 ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
34 “En esta era la gente se casa y se da en casamiento”, explicó Jesús.
34 Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
34 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσι καὶ ἐκγαμίζονται·
35 “Pero los que sean dignos de participar del mundo venidero y de la resurrección de entre los muertos no se casarán ni se darán en casamiento.
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
35 οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται·
36 Ya no podrán morir; serán como ángeles y son hijos de Dios puesto que son hijos de la resurrección.
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
36 οὔτε γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται· ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσι καὶ υἱοί εἰσι τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.
37 Pero en cuanto a la pregunta sobre si los muertos resucitarán, incluso Moisés demostró este hecho cuando escribió sobre el arbusto ardiente, cuando llama al Señor como ‘el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob’.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
37 ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου, ὡς λέγει Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰακώβ.
38 Él no es el Dios de los muertos, sino de los vivos, porque para él ellos aún están vivos”.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
38 Θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστι νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.
39 Algunos de los maestros religiosos respondieron: “Esa fue una buena respuesta, Maestro”.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
39 ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπον· διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας.
40 Y después de esto, ninguno se atrevió a hacerle más preguntas.
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
40 οὐκέτι δὲ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.
41 Entonces Jesús les preguntó: “¿Por qué se dice que Cristo es el hijo de David?
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
41 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· πῶς λέγουσι τὸν Χριστὸν υἱὸν Δαυῒδ εἶναι;
42 Pues el mismo David dice en el libro de los salmos: ‘El Señor le dijo a mi Señor: “Siéntate a mi diestra
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
42 καὶ αὐτὸς Δαυῒδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ τῶν ψαλμῶν· εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
43 hasta que ponga a tus enemigos como estrado de tus pies”’.
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
43 ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.
44 David lo llama ‘Señor’. ¿Cómo entonces, puede ser el hijo de David?”
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
44 Δαυῒδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ· καὶ πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;
45 Mientras todos estaban atentos, dijo a sus discípulos:
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
45 Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ·
46 “Cuídense de los líderes religiosos a quienes les gusta caminar por ahí con batas largas, y les encanta que los saluden en las plazas, y tener los mejores asientos en las sinagogas y lugares de honor en los banquetes.
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
46 προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,
47 Ellos engañan a las viudas y les quitan lo que tienen, y ocultan el tipo de personas que son realmente por medio de sus largas oraciones. Ellos recibirán una condenación severa en el juicio”.
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
47 οἳ κατεσθίουσι τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται· οὗτοι λήψονται περισσότερον κρῖμα.

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).
… complete this most blessed city would have been as great though no one had sinned, as it is now that the grace of God gathers its citizens out of the multitude of sinners, so long as the children of this world generate and are generated. And therefore that marriage, worthy of the happiness of Paradise, should have had desirable fruit …

But Enos means man in so restricted a sense, that Hebrew linguists tell us it cannot be applied to woman: it is the equivalent of the "child of the resurrection," when they neither marry nor are given in marriage. For there shall be no generation in that place to which regeneration shall have brought us.
