PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Entonces Jesús le habló a la multitud y a sus discípulos:
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1 Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησε τοῖς ὄχλοις καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ
2 “Los maestros religiosos y los fariseos tienen la responsabilidad de ser intérpretes de la ley de Moisés,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
2 λέγων· ἐπὶ τῆς Μωσέως καθέδρας ἐκάθισαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι.
3 así que obedezcan y hagan lo que ellos les digan. Pero no imiten lo que ellos hacen, porque ellos no practican lo que predican.
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
3 πάντα οὖν ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν τηρεῖν, τηρεῖτε καὶ ποιεῖτε, κατὰ δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν μὴ ποιεῖτε· λέγουσι γάρ, καὶ οὐ ποιοῦσι.
4 Ellos colocan cargas pesadas en los hombros del pueblo, pero ellos mismos no mueven ni un dedo para ayudarles.
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
4 δεσμεύουσι γὰρ φορτία βαρέα καὶ δυσβάστακτα καὶ ἐπιτιθέασιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων, τῷ δὲ δακτύλῳ αὐτῶν οὐ θέλουσι κινῆσαι αὐτά.
5 Todo lo que hacen es con el fin de hacerse notar. Ellos se alistan grandes cajas de oraciones para usarlas y colocan largas borlas en sus vestidos.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
5 πάντα δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ποιοῦσι πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. πλατύνουσι γὰρ τὰ φυλακτήρια αὐτῶν καὶ μεγαλύνουσι τὰ κράσπεδα τῶν ἱματίων αὐτῶν,
6 Les gusta tener lugares de honor en los banquetes y tener los mejores asientos en las sinagogas.
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
6 φιλοῦσι δὲ τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις καὶ τὰς πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς
7 A ellos les gusta que los saluden con respeto en las plazas del mercado, y que la gente les llame ‘Rabí’.
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
7 καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ καλεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ῥαββὶ ῥαββί.
8 “No dejen que la gente los llame ‘Rabí’. El Gran Maestro de ustedes es solo uno, y ustedes son todos hermanos.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
8 ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ κληθῆτε ῥαββί· εἷς γὰρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν [ὁ] διδάσκαλος, ὁ Χριστός· πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε.
9 No llamen a nadie con el título de ‘Padre’ aquí en la tierra. El Padre de ustedes es solo uno, y está en el cielo.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
9 καὶ πατέρα μὴ καλέσητε ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ ὑμῶν, ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
10 No dejen que la gente los llame ‘Maestro’. El Maestro de ustedes es solo uno, el Mesías.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
10 μηδὲ κληθῆτε καθηγηταί· εἷς γὰρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν [ὁ] καθηγητής, ὁ Χριστός.
11 El más importante entre ustedes tendrá que ser siervo entre ustedes.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
11 ὁ δὲ μείζων ὑμῶν ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος.
12 Cualquiera que se enaltezca a sí mismo, será humillado, y cualquiera que se humille, será enaltecido.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12 ὅστις δὲ ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ὅστις ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
13 “¡Pero qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Ustedes cierran de golpe las puertas del reino de los cielos en el rostro de la gente. No entran ustedes mismos, ni dejan entrar a quien está tratando de hacerlo.
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
13 Οὐαὶ δὲ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι κατεσθίετε τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσευχόμενοι· διὰ τοῦτο λήψεσθε περισσότερον κρῖμα.
14 Not in this translation
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
14 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι κλείετε τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ὑμεῖς γὰρ οὐκ εἰσέρχεσθε, οὐδὲ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἀφίετε εἰσελθεῖν.
15 ¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Porque ustedes viajan por tierra y mar para convertir a un solo individuo, y cuando lo convierten, lo convierten dos veces más en un hijo de Gehena como lo son ustedes.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
15 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι περιάγετε τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν ποιῆσαι ἕνα προσήλυτον, καὶ ὅταν γένηται, ποιεῖτε αὐτὸν υἱὸν γεέννης διπλότερον ὑμῶν.
16 ¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes los que dicen: ‘si juras por el Templo, no tiene importancia, pero si juras por el oro del Templo, entonces debes cumplir tu juramento!’ ¡Cuán necios y ciegos están ustedes!
16 “Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
16 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοί, οἱ λέγοντες· ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ ναῷ, οὐδέν ἐστιν, ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ χρυσῷ τοῦ ναοῦ, ὀφείλει.
17 ¿Qué es más importante: el oro o el Templo que santifica el oro?
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
17 μωροὶ καὶ τυφλοί! τίς γὰρ μείζων ἐστίν, ὁ χρυσὸς ἢ ὁ ναὸς ὁ ἁγιάζων τὸν χρυσόν;
18 Ustedes dicen: ‘si juras sobre el altar, no tiene importancia, pero si juras sobre el sacrificio que está sobre el altar, entonces debes cumplir tu juramento’.
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
18 καί· ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, οὐδέν ἐστιν, ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ δώρῳ τῷ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, ὀφείλει.
19 ¡Cuán ciegos están ustedes! ¿Qué es más importante: el sacrificio, o el altar que santifica el sacrificio?
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
19 μωροὶ καὶ τυφλοί! τί γὰρ μεῖζον, τὸ δῶρον ἢ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἁγιάζον τὸ δῶρον;
20 Si ustedes juran por el altar, están jurando por el altar y por todo lo que está sobre él.
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
20 ὁ οὖν ὀμόσας ἐν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ ὀμνύει ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ·
21 Si juran por el Templo, están jurando por el Templo y por Aquél que vive allí.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
21 καὶ ὁ ὀμόσας ἐν τῷ ναῷ ὀμνύει ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν τῷ κατοικήσαντι αὐτόν·
22 Si juran por el cielo, están jurando por el trono de Dios y por Aquél que se sienta en él.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
22 καὶ ὁ ὀμόσας ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ὀμνύει ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ.
23 “¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Pagan el diezmo de la menta, de la semilla de anís y del comino, pero son negligentes en los aspectos vitales de la ley: hacer lo correcto, mostrar misericordia, ejercer la fe. Sí, es cierto que deben pagar sus diezmos, pero no olviden estas otras cosas.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
23 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ ἄνηθον καὶ τὸ κύμινον, καὶ ἀφήκατε τὰ βαρύτερα τοῦ νόμου, τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὸν ἔλεον καὶ τὴν πίστιν· ταῦτα δὲ ἔδει ποιῆσαι κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι.
24 ¡Ustedes son guías ciegos que cuelan la bebida para no dejar pasar una mosca, pero se tragan un camello!
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
24 ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοί, οἱ διυλίζοντες τὸν κώνωπα, τὴν δὲ κάμηλον καταπίνοντες!
25 “¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Limpian el exterior de la taza y del plato, pero por dentro ustedes están llenos de glotonería y autocomplacencia.
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
25 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι καθαρίζετε τὸ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τῆς παροψίδος, ἔσωθεν δὲ γέμουσιν ἐξ ἁρπαγῆς καὶ ἀδικίας.
26 ¡fariseos ciegos! Limpien primero el interior de la taza y del plato, para que entonces el exterior esté limpio también.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
26 Φαρισαῖε τυφλέ, καθάρισον πρῶτον τὸ ἐντὸς τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τῆς παροψίδος, ἵνα γένηται καὶ τὸ ἐκτὸς αὐτῶν καθαρόν.
27 “¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Son como sepulcros blanqueados, que se ven bien por fuera, pero por dentro están llenos de esqueletos y todo tipo de putrefacción.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
27 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι παρομοιάζετε τάφοις κεκονιαμένοις, οἵτινες ἔξωθεν μὲν φαίνονται ὡραῖοι, ἔσωθεν δὲ γέμουσιν ὀστέων νεκρῶν καὶ πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας.
28 Ustedes son simplemente una vergüenza. Por fuera parecen buenas personas, pero por dentro están llenos de hipocresía y maldad.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔξωθεν μὲν φαίνεσθε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις δίκαιοι, ἔσωθεν δὲ μεστοί ἐστε ὑποκρίσεως καὶ ἀνομίας.
29 “¡Qué desastre viene sobre ustedes, maestros religiosos y fariseos hipócritas! Construyen sepulcros en memoria de los profetas, y decoran las tumbas de los buenos,
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
29 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι οἰκοδομεῖτε τοὺς τάφους τῶν προφητῶν καὶ κοσμεῖτε τὰ μνημεῖα τῶν δικαίων,
30 y dicen: ‘si hubiéramos vivido en los tiempos de nuestros ancestros, no habríamos participado en el derramamiento de la sangre de los profetas’.
30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
30 καὶ λέγετε· εἰ ἦμεν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, οὐκ ἂν ἦμεν κοινωνοὶ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τῶν προφητῶν.
31 ¡Pero al decir esto testifican contra ustedes mismos, demostrando que hacen parte de esos que mataron a los profetas!
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
31 ὥστε μαρτυρεῖτε ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι υἱοί ἐστε τῶν φονευσάντων τοὺς προφήτας.
32 ¡Entonces sigan y acaben la obra de una vez por todas usando los métodos de sus antepasados!
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
32 καὶ ὑμεῖς πληρώσατε τὸ μέτρον τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν.
33 Serpientes, camada de víboras, ¿cómo escaparán del juicio de Gehena?
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
33 ὄφεις, γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν! πῶς φύγητε ἀπὸ τῆς κρίσεως τῆς γεέννης;
34 “Por eso yo les envío profetas, hombres sabios y maestros. A algunos los matarán, a otros los crucificarán, y a otros los azotarán en las sinagogas, y los perseguirán de ciudad en ciudad.
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
34 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω πρὸς ὑμᾶς προφήτας καὶ σοφοὺς καὶ γραμματεῖς, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποκτενεῖτε καὶ σταυρώσετε, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν μαστιγώσετε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς ὑμῶν καὶ διώξετε ἀπὸ πόλεως εἰς πόλιν,
35 Como consecuencia de ello, ustedes tendrán que dar cuenta de la sangre de todas las personas buenas que se ha derramado sobre la tierra: desde la sangre de Abel, que hizo lo correcto, hasta la sangre de Zacarías, el hijo de Berequías, a quien ustedes mataron entre el Templo y el altar.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
35 ὅπως ἔλθῃ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς πᾶν αἷμα δίκαιον ἐκχυνόμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος Ἄβελ τοῦ δικαίου ἕως τοῦ αἵματος Ζαχαρίου υἱοῦ Βαραχίου, ὃν ἐφονεύσατε μεταξὺ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.
36 “Yo les digo que las consecuencias de todo esto caerán sobre esta generación.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἥξει ταῦτα πάντα ἐπὶ τὴν γενεὰν ταύτην.
37 ¡Oh Jerusalén, Jerusalén, tu matas a los profetas y apedreas a los que se te envían! Tantas veces he querido reunir a tus hijos así como una gallina reúne a sus polluelos bajo sus alas, pero no me dejaste.
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
37 Ἱερουσαλὴμ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτέννουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν! ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυναγαγεῖν τὰ τέκνα σου ὃν τρόπον ἐπισυνάγει ὄρνις τὰ νοσσία ἑαυτῆς ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.
38 Ahora mira, tu casa ha sido abandonada, y está completamente vacía.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
38 ἰδοὺ ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν ἔρημος.
39 Yo te digo esto: no me volverás a ver hasta que digas: ‘Bendito es el que viene en el nombre del Señor’”.
39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
39 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, οὐ μή με ἴδητε ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι ἕως ἂν εἴπητε, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

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).
Then. When? When He had said these things, when He had stopped their mouths; when He had brought them that they should no more dare to tempt Him; when He had shown their state incurable. And since He had made mention of "the Lord" and "my Lord," He recurs again to the law.

Jesus, therefore, will be to them the author and teacher of such transgression, inasmuch as He commanded that one Being should be called Father, thus imposing upon them the necessity of confessing the Creator as their Father, as has been pointed out.
Therefore, says the Lord, "Cleanse that which is within, and the outside shall be clean also." He then says that God Himself,--not anything received from Him, but Himself,--is his portion.

Herewith towards the end also He was upbraiding them, when He said, "Ye bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, but ye will not move them with your finger," and, "ye pay tithe of mint and anise, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." Well then, I think that these are comprehended in …

They forgot that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten, speaks in like manner concerning Himself to Jerusalem, How often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.
