1 Cuando Jesús terminó de hablar se fue de Galilea y se dirigió a la región de Judea, al otro lado del Jordán.
1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Grandes multitudes le seguían, y él sanaba a los que allí estaban enfermos.
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Entonces ciertos fariseos vinieron para probarlo. “¿Se le permite a un hombre divorciarse de su esposa por cualquier razón?” le preguntaron.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Jesús respondió: “¿No han leído que Dios, quien creó a las personas en el principio, los creó hombre y mujer?
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Entonces dijo: ‘Esta es la razón por la cual el hombre se irá de donde su padre y su madre y se unirá a su esposa, y entonces los dos se convertirán en uno’.
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 Ahora no son dos, sino uno. Lo que Dios ha unido, nadie debe separarlo”.
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 “¿Entonces por qué Moisés entregó una ley que dice que un hombre puede divorciarse de su esposa entregándole un certificado de divorcio escrito y despidiéndola?” le preguntaron.
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
8 “Por la actitud insensible de ustedes, Moisés les permitió divorciarse de sus esposas, pero no era así al comienzo”, respondió Jesús.
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 “Les digo que cualquiera que se divorcia de su esposa – a menos que sea por inmoralidad sexual –, y luego se casa con otra mujer, comete adulterio”.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10 “¡Si esa es la situación entre el esposo y la esposa, es mejor no casarse!” respondieron sus discípulos.
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 “No cualquiera puede aceptar esta instrucción, solo aquellos a quienes se les da”, les dijo Jesús.
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 “Algunos nacen siendo eunucos, algunos se vuelven eunucos por causa de otros hombres, y otros deciden ser eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos. Los que aceptan hacerlo, deben aceptar tal enseñanza”.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Entonces la gente traía niños pequeños delante de él para que los bendijera y orara por ellos. Pero los discípulos les decían que no lo hicieran.
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Pero Jesús dijo: “Dejen que los niños vengan a mi. No se lo impidan. ¡El reino de los cielos pertenece a quienes son como ellos!”
14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 Entonces él puso sus manos sobre ellos para bendecirlos y luego se fue.
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 Un hombre vino a Jesús y le dijo: “Maestro, ¿qué cosas buenas debo hacer para recibir vida eterna?”
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
17 “¿Por qué me preguntas a mi lo que es bueno?” respondió Jesús. “Solo hay uno que es bueno. Pero si quieres tener vida eterna, entonces guarda los mandamientos”.
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 “¿Cuáles?” preguntó el hombre. “No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no des falso testimonio,
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 honra a tu padre y a tu madre, y ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”, respondió Jesús.
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 “Yo he guardado todos estos mandamientos”, dijo el joven. “¿Qué más debo hacer?”
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesús le dijo: “Si quieres ser perfecto, entonces ve y vende todas tus posesiones, da el dinero a los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo. Entonces ven y sígueme”.
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 Cuando el joven escuchó la respuesta de Jesús, se fue muy triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 “Les digo la verdad”, dijo Jesús a sus discípulos, “a la gente rica se le hace difícil entrar al reino de los cielos.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24 También les digo esto: es más fácil que un camello pase a través del ojo de una aguja que un rico entre al reino de los cielos”.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 Cuando los discípulos oyeron esto, se sorprendieron, y preguntaron: “¿Quién puede salvarse entonces?”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesús los miró y dijo: “Desde un punto de vista humano, es imposible, pero con Dios todas las cosas son posibles”.
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Pedro le respondió: “Mira, hemos dejado todo y te hemos seguido. ¿Qué recompensa tendremos?”
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Jesús respondió: “Les digo la verdad: cuando todo sea hecho de nuevo y el Hijo del hombre se siente en su trono glorioso, ustedes que me han seguido también se sentarán en tronos, y serán jueces de las doce tribus de Israel.
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Todos los que dejan su hogar, a sus hermanos, a sus hermanas, a sus padres, a sus madres, a sus hijos y sus campos por mi causa, recibirán cien veces más y recibirán la vida eterna.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
30 Porque muchos que son los primeros serán dejados de ultimo, y muchos que son los últimos, serán los primeros.
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

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).
We heard in the Gospel that the Lord, rejoicing greatly in Spirit, said unto God the Father, "I confess to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

Having constantly left Judæa on account of the envy of those men, now He frequents it from this time forth, because the passion was to be nigh at hand; He goeth not up, however, unto Jerusalem for a while, but "into the coasts of Judæa." "And," when He was come, "great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them."

… her that is divorced from another husband, committeth adultery." And, "There are some who have been made eunuchs of men, and some who were born eunuchs, and some who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake; but all cannot receive this saying." So that all who, by human law, are twice married, are in the eye of …
For this reason did the Lord declare that the first should in truth be last, and the last first. And the prophet, too, indicates the same, saying, "instead of fathers, children have been born unto thee." For the Lord, having been born "the First-begotten of the dead," and receiving into His bosom the ancient fathers, has regenerated them into the …
… how he may please the Lord; but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife." I should, therefore, have listened more attentively to these words, and, being severed "for the kingdom of heaven's sake," I would with greater happiness have expected Thy embraces.
