1 Jesús les habló usando más relatos ilustrados.
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 “El reino de los cielos es como un rey que organizó una celebración de boda para su hijo”, explicó Jesús.
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 “Envió a sus siervos donde todos los que estaban invitados a la boda para decirles que vinieran, pero ellos se negaron a ir.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 Entonces envió más siervos con las siguientes instrucciones: ‘Díganles a los que están invitados que he preparado un banquete de bodas. Se han matado toros y becerros. ¡Todo está listo, así que vengan a la boda!’”
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
5 “Pero ellos ignoraron la invitación y se fueron. Uno se fue a sus campos; otro fue a ocuparse de su negocio.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 El resto tomó a los siervos del rey, los maltrataron, y los mataron.
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 El rey se puso furioso. Entonces envió a sus soldados para destruir a esos asesinos y quemar su ciudad.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 “Entonces el rey le dijo a sus siervos, ‘el banquete de la boda está listo, pero los que estaban invitados no merecían asistir.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 Vayan a las calles e inviten a todos los que encuentren para que vengan a la boda’.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 Así que los siervos salieron a las calles y trajeron a todos los que pudieron encontrar, tanto buenos como malos. El salón de la boda estaba lleno.
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 “Pero cuando el rey llegó a ver a los invitados, se dio cuenta de que había un hombre que no tenía puesto el vestido adecuado para la boda.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 Entonces le preguntó: ‘amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí sin vestido de bodas?’ El hombre no sabía qué decir.
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 Entonces el rey dijo a sus siervos: ‘Aten sus manos y pies y láncenlo a la oscuridad, donde habrá llanto y crujir de dientes’.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Porque muchos son invitados, pero pocos son escogidos”.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Entonces los fariseos se fueron de allí y se reunieron para conspirar la manera en que podrían atraparlo por las cosas que decía.
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 Y enviaron a algunos de sus propios discípulos donde él junto con algunos de los seguidores de Herodes. “Maestro, sabemos que eres un hombre veraz, y que el camino de Dios que enseñas es el verdadero”, comenzaron ellos. “Tú no te dejas influir por ningún otro, y no te preocupa el rango o la posición social.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
17 Así que déjanos saber lo que opinas. ¿Es correcto pagar los impuestos del César, o no?”
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 Jesús sabía que sus intenciones eran malvadas. Entonces les preguntó: “¿Por qué están tratando de ponerme una trampa, hipócritas?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Muéstrenme la moneda que se usa para pagar el impuesto”. Entonces le trajeron una moneda de denario.
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 “¿De quién es la imagen y el título que está inscrito en ella?” les preguntó.
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 “Es del césar”, respondieron ellos. “Ustedes deben dar al César lo es del César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios”, les dijo.
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Cuando escucharon la respuesta de Jesús, se quedaron asombrados. Entonces se marcharon y lo dejaron allí.
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 Más tarde, ese mismo día, vinieron unos Saduceos a verlo. (Los saduceos son los que dicen que no hay resurrección).
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 Entonces le preguntaron: “Maestro, Moisés dijo que si un hombre casado muere sin haber tenido hijos, su hermano debe casarse con la viuda y así tener hijos en representación de su hermano.
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 Pues bien, supongamos que había siete hermanos. El primero se casó y murió, y como no había tenido hijos, dejó la viuda a su hermano.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 Lo mismo ocurrió con el segundo y el tercer esposo, hasta que llegaron al séptimo.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Al final, la mujer también murió.
27 After them all, the woman died.
28 Así que cuando ocurra la resurrección, ¿cuál de todos ellos será su esposo si ella se casó con todos?”
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Jesús respondió: “El error de ustedes es que no conocen la Escritura ni lo que Dios puede hacer.
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Porque en la resurrección las personas no se casarán ni serán entregados en matrimonio tampoco, pues en el cielo son como ángeles.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 En cuanto a la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no han leído lo que Dios les dijo a ustedes:
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob?’ Él no es Dios de los muertos, sino de los que viven”.
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Cuando las multitudes oyeron lo que dijo, se quedaron asombrados de su enseñanza.
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Cuando los fariseos oyeron que Jesús había dejado sin palabras a los Saduceos, se reunieron y fueron a hacerle más preguntas.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 Uno de ellos, quien era un experto en la ley, le hizo una pregunta para probarlo:
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 “Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento más importante de la ley?”
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Jesús les dijo: “‘Ama al Señor tu Dios en todo lo que piensas, en todo lo que sientes, y en todo lo que haces’.
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 Este es el mandamiento más importante, el primer mandamiento.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 El segundo es similar: ‘Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo’.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 Toda la ley bíblica y los escritos de los profetas dependen de estos dos mandamientos”.
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Mientras los fariseos estaban allí reunidos, Jesús les hizo una pregunta:
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 “¿Qué piensan ustedes del Mesías?” les preguntó. “¿De quién es hijo?” “El hijo de David”, respondieron ellos.
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 “¿Cómo pudo David, bajo inspiración, llamarlo ‘Señor?’” les preguntó Jesús. “Él dice:
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘El Señor le dijo a mi Señor: siéntate a mi diestra hasta que derrote a todos tus enemigos’.
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 Si David lo llamó Señor, ¿cómo puede el Mesías ser su hijo?”
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 Ninguno pudo responderle, y desde entonces ninguno se atrevió a hacerle más preguntas.
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

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 22:2 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XL)

    All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

  2. Commentary 22:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXIX)

    Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.
