1 “Porque el reino de los cielos es como un terrateniente que salió temprano por la mañana para contratar trabajadores para su viña.
1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Él decidió pagar un denario por día a los trabajadores, y los envió a trabajar en ella.
2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Cerca de las 9 a.m. salió y vio a otros que estaban sin trabajar en la plaza del mercado.
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4 “‘Vayan y trabajen en la viña también, y yo les pagaré lo justo’, les dijo. Entonces ellos se fueron a trabajar.
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
5 Entre el medio día y las 3 p.m. salió e hizo lo mismo.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 A las 5 p.m. salió y encontró a otros que estaban allí. ‘¿Por qué están por ahí todo el día sin hacer nada?’ les preguntó.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
7 ‘Porque nadie nos ha contratado’, respondieron ellos. ‘Vayan y trabajen en la viña también’, les dijo.
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
8 “Cuando llegó la noche, el propietario de la viña le dijo a su administrador: ‘Llama a los trabajadores y págales sus salarios. Comienza con los trabajadores que fueron contratados al final y luego continúa con los que fueron contratados al principio’.
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
9 Cuando entraron los que fueron contratados a las 5 p.m., cada uno recibió un denario.
9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
10 Así que cuando entraron los que fueron contratados al principio, ellos pensaron que recibirían más, pero también recibieron un denario.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 Cuando recibieron su pago, se quejaron del propietario.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 ‘Los que fueron contratados al final solo trabajaron una hora, y les pagaste lo mismo que a nosotros que trabajamos todo el día en medio del calor abrasante,’ refunfuñaban.
12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
13 “El propietario le respondió a uno de ellos: ‘Amigo, no he sido injusto contigo. ¿No estuviste de acuerdo conmigo en trabajar por un denario?
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
14 Toma tu pago y vete. Lo mismo que te pagué a ti, lo quiero pagar a los que fueron contratados al final.
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 ¿Acaso no puedo decidir qué hacer con mi propio dinero? ¿Por qué deberías mirarme con desprecio por querer hacer un bien?’
15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
16 De esta manera, los últimos serán los primeros, y los primeros serán los últimos”.
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
17 Cuando iba de camino hacia Jerusalén, Jesús llevó consigo a los doce discípulos aparte mientras caminaban y les dijo:
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
18 “Miren, vamos hacia Jerusalén, y el Hijo del hombre será entregado a los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros religiosos. Ellos lo condenarán a muerte
18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19 y lo entregarán a los gentiles para que se burlen de él, lo azoten y lo crucifiquen. Pero el tercer día será levantado de entre los muertos”.
19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
20 Entonces la madre de los hijos de Zebedeo vino a Jesús con sus dos hijos. Se arrodilló delante de él para hacerle una petición.
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21 “¿Qué es lo que me pides?” le dijo Jesús. “Por favor, aparta a mis hijos para que se sienten a tu lado en tu reino, uno a tu derecha y el otro a tu izquierda”, le pidió ella.
21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
22 “No sabes lo que estás pidiendo”, le dijo Jesús. “¿Pueden ustedes beber la copa que yo estoy a punto de beber?” . “Sí podemos”, le dijeron.
22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
23 “Sin duda alguna ustedes beberán de mi copa”, les dijo, “pero el privilegio de sentarse a mi derecha y a mi izquierda no me corresponde darlo a mi. Mi Padre es el que decide quién será”.
23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 Cuando los otros diez discípulos escucharon lo que ellos habían pedido, se molestaron con los dos hermanos.
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 Jesús los llamó y les dijo: “Ustedes saben que los gobernantes extranjeros se enseñorean sobre sus pueblos, y los líderes poderosos los oprimen.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26 No será así para ustedes. Cualquiera entre ustedes que quiera ser el más importante, será siervo de todos.
26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
27 Cualquiera entre ustedes que quiera ser el primero, será como un esclavo.
27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
28 De la misma manera, el Hijo del hombre no vino a que le sirvan, sino a servir, y a dar su vida como rescate para muchos”.
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29 Cuando se fueron de Jericó, una gran multitud siguió a Jesús.
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Dos hombres ciegos estaban sentados junto al camino. Y cuando escucharon que Jesús iba pasando por allí, clamaron: “¡Ten misericordia de nosotros, Señor, hijo de David!”
30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
31 Y la multitud les decía que se callaran, pero ellos gritaban aún más fuerte: “¡Ten misericordia de nosotros, Señor, hijo de David!”
31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
32 Entonces Jesús se detuvo. Los llamó, preguntándoles: “¿Qué quieren que haga por ustedes?”
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 “Señor, por favor, haz que podamos ver”, respondieron ellos.
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 Jesús tuvo compasión de ellos y tocó sus ojos. Ellos pudieron ver de inmediato, y le siguieron.
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

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).
Ye have heard out of the Holy Gospel a parable well suited to the present season, concerning the labourers in the vineyard. For now is the time of the material vintage. Now there is also a spiritual vintage, wherein God rejoiceth in the fruit of His vineyard. For we cultivate God, and God cultivateth us.

He goeth not up at once to Jerusalem when He is come out of Galilee, but having first wrought miracles, and having stopped the mouths of Pharisees, and having discoursed with His disciples of renouncing possessions: for, "if thou wilt be perfect," saith He, "sell that thou hast:" and of virginity, "He that is able to receive, let him receive …

They maintain also, that these thirty Æons are most plainly indicated in the parable of the labourers sent into the vineyard.
Of these two, the two blind men also are a figure, who sat by the way side, to whom the Lord gave sight. And if ye pay attention to the Scriptures, ye will find the two Churches, which are not two but One, figured out in many places.

… of the heavens, that whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in Heaven." How then is it not "His to give to sit on His right hand, and on His left," when He saith, "I will give thee"?
