PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Cuando Jesús iba saliendo del Templo, sus discípulos venían hacia donde él estaba y mostraban con orgullo los edificios del Templo.
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
1 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱεροῦ· καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτῷ τὰς οἰκοδομὰς τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
2 Pero Jesús respondió: “¿Ven todos estos edificios? Les digo la verdad: no quedará piedra sobre piedra. ¡Cada una de las piedras que queden serán derribadas!”
2 But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”
2 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ βλέπετε ταῦτα πάντα; ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον, ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
3 Cuando Jesús se sentó en el Monte de los Olivos, los discípulos vinieron donde él estaba y en privado le preguntaron: “Por favor, dinos cuándo ocurrirá esto. ¿Cuál será la señal de tu venida y del fin del mundo?”
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”
3 καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους τῶν ἐλαιῶν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατ᾽ ἰδίαν λέγοντες· εἰπὲ ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον τῆς σῆς παρουσίας καὶ τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος;
4 “Asegúrense de que nadie los confunda”, respondió Jesús.
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
4 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ.
5 “Muchos vendrán diciendo que soy yo, y dirán ‘yo soy el Mesías’, y engañarán a muchas personas.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
5 πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Χριστός, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσι.
6 Ustedes oirán de guerras de y rumores de guerras, pero no estén ansiosos. Estas cosas tienen que pasar, pero este no es el fin.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
6 μελλήσετε δὲ ἀκούειν πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων· ὁρᾶτε μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γὰρ πάντα γενέσθαι, ἀλλ᾽ οὔπω ἐστὶ τὸ τέλος.
7 Habrá naciones que atacarán a otras naciones, y reinos que pelearán contra otros reinos. Habrá hambrunas y terremotos en diferentes lugares,
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
7 ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔσονται λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ καὶ σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους·
8 pero todas estas cosas son solo el principio de los dolores del parto.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
8 πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων.
9 “Entonces a ustedes los arrestarán, los perseguirán y los matarán. Todas las personas los odiarán por mi causa.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
9 τότε παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς θλῖψιν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
10 En ese tiempo muchos que eran creyentes dejarán de creer. Se entregarán unos a otros con traición y se odiarán unos a otros.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
10 καὶ τότε σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ καὶ ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσι καὶ μισήσουσιν ἀλλήλους.
11 Muchos falsos profetas vendrán y engañarán a muchas personas.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
11 καὶ πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καὶ πλανήσουσι πολλούς,
12 El aumento del mal hará que el amor de muchos se enfríe,
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
12 καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.
13 pero aquellos que se mantengan firmes hasta el fin serán salvos.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
13 ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος, οὗτος σωθήσεται.
14 La buena noticia del reino será proclamada en todo el mundo de tal modo que todos la escucharán, y entonces vendrá el fin.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
14 καὶ κηρυχθήσεται τοῦτο τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ τότε ἥξει τὸ τέλος.
15 Así que cuando vean el ‘mal que profana’ en el lugar santo del cual habló el profeta Daniel (los que leen esto, por favor, examínenlo cuidadosamente),
15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
15 Ὅταν οὖν ἴδητε τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου ἑστὼς ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ — ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω —
16 entonces las personas que viven en Judea, deben huir a las montañas.
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
16 τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη,
17 Todo el que esté en el tejado de la casa no debe descender para buscar lo que hay en ella.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
17 ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ καταβαινέτω ἆραι τὰ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,
18 El que esté en los campos, no debe regresar a buscar el abrigo.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
18 καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ.
19 ¡Cuán terrible será para aquellas que estén embarazadas y para las que estén amamantando a sus bebés en esos días!
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
19 οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
20 Oren para que no tengan que huir en invierno, o en día Sábado.
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
20 προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν χειμῶνος μηδὲ σαββάτῳ.
21 Porque en ese tiempo, habrá una persecución terrible, más terrible que cualquier cosa que haya ocurrido desde el principio del mundo hasta ahora, ni ocurrirá jamás.
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
21 ἔσται γὰρ τότε θλῖψις μεγάλη, οἵα οὐ γέγονεν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς κόσμου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδ᾽ οὐ μὴ γένηται.
22 A menos que esos días sean acortados, nadie será salvo, pero por el bien de los elegidos, esos días serán acortados.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
22 καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι.
23 “Así que si alguien les dice: ‘miren, este es el Mesías,’ o, ‘allá está,’ no lo crean.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
23 τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, ἰδοὺ ὧδε ὁ Χριστὸς ἢ ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
24 Porque aparecerán falsos mesías y falsos profetas también, y harán señales y milagros increíbles para engañar a los escogidos, si fuera posible.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
24 ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται καὶ δώσουσι σημεῖα μεγάλα καὶ τέρατα, ὥστε πλανῆσαι, εἰ δυνατόν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς.
25 Noten que les he dicho esto antes de que siquiera ocurra.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
25 ἰδοὺ προείρηκα ὑμῖν.
26 De modo que si les dicen: ‘miren, está en el desierto,’ no vayan a verlo allá; o si dicen: ‘miren, está oculto aquí,’ no lo crean.
26 “If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
26 ἐὰν οὖν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐστί, μὴ ἐξέλθητε, ἰδοὺ ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, μὴ πιστεύσητε·
27 Porque la venida del Hijo del hombre será como el relámpago que ilumina desde el oriente hasta el occidente.
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
27 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ φαίνεται ἕως δυσμῶν, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
28 ‘Los buitres se amontonan donde está el cadáver’.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
28 ὅπου γὰρ ἐὰν ᾖ τὸ πτῶμα, ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί.
29 “Pero justo después de estos días de persecución, el sol se oscurecerá, la luna no brillará, las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las potencias del cielo se conmoverán.
29 “But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
29 Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
30 Entonces aparecerá en el cielo la señal del Hijo del hombre, y todos los pueblos de la tierra se lamentarán. Verán al Hijo del hombre viniendo sobre las nubes del cielo con poder y gran gloria.
30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
30 καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
31 Con el toque de una trompeta él enviará a sus ángeles para reunir a sus escogidos de todas partes, desde un confín del cielo y de la tierra hasta el otro.
31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
31 καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος φωνῆς μεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσι τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπ᾽ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ἄκρων αὐτῶν.
32 “Aprendan una ilustración de la higuera. Cuando sus brotes se vuelven más blandos y comienzan a salir las hojas, ya ustedes saben que se acerca el verano.
32 “Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
32 Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν. ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος·
33 De la misma manera, cuando vean que están ocurriendo todas estas cosas, ya sabrán que su venida está cerca, ¡de hecho, está justo en la puerta!
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
33 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα πάντα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
34 Les digo la verdad: esta generación no morirá hasta que todas estas cosas hayan pasado.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
34 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται.
35 El cielo y la tierra podrán perecer, pero mis palabras no morirán.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
35 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσι.
36 “Pero nadie sabe el día ni la hora en que esto ocurrirá, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo. Solo el Padre lo sabe.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
36 Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ μου μόνος.
37 Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga, será como en los días de Noé.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
37 ὥσπερ δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
38 Será como en los días antes del diluvio, donde todos comían y bebían y se casaban y se entregaban en matrimonio, hasta el día que Noé entró al arca.
38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
38 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρὸ τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ τρώγοντες καὶ πίνοντες, γαμοῦντες καὶ ἐκγαμίζοντες, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν,
39 Ellos no se dieron cuenta de lo que estaba ocurriendo hasta que el diluvio vino y se los llevó a todos. Así será la venida del Hijo del hombre.
39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
39 καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἦρεν ἅπαντας, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
40 “Dos hombres estarán trabajando en los campos. Se tomará a uno y se dejará al otro.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
40 τότε δύο ἔσονται ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὁ εἷς παραλαμβάνεται καὶ ὁ εἷς ἀφίεται·
41 Dos mujeres estarán moliendo grano en un molino. Se tomará a una y se dejará a la otra.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 δύο ἀλήθουσαι ἐν τῷ μυλῶνι, μία παραλαμβάνεται καὶ μία ἀφίεται.
42 Así que estén prevenidos, porque ustedes no saben qué día viene el Señor.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
42 γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται.
43 Pero consideren esto: si el dueño de la casa supiera a qué hora vendrá el ladrón, permanecería vigilando. No dejaría que entre y robe en su casa.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
43 Ἐκεῖνο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ φυλακῇ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν εἴασε διορυγῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ.
44 Ustedes también necesitan estar listos, porque el Hijo del hombre viene en un momento en que ustedes no lo esperan.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
44 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑμεῖς γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι, ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
45 “Pues ¿quién es el siervo fiel y considerado? Es el que su amo pone a cargo de la familia para que provea el alimento en el momento adecuado.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
45 Τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ τοῦ διδόναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ;
46 ¡Cuán bueno es que el siervo se encuentre haciendo esto cuando su amo regrese!
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
46 μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει ποιοῦντα οὕτως.
47 Les digo la verdad: el amo pondrá a ese siervo a cargo de todas sus posesiones.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
47 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.
48 Pero si fuese un siervo malo, diría para sí mismo: ‘mi señor se está demorando’,
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
48 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ κακὸς δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἐλθεῖν,
49 y comenzaría a golpear a los otros siervos, a festejar y a beber con los borrachos.
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
49 καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς συνδούλους αὐτοῦ, ἐσθίῃ δὲ καὶ πίνῃ μετὰ τῶν μεθυόντων,
50 Entonces el amo de ese siervo regresará cuando este no lo espera, en un momento que no sabe.
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
50 ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει,
51 Entonces el amo lo hará pedazos, y lo tratará como a los hipócritas, enviándolo a un lugar donde hay lamento y crujir de dientes”.
51 and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
51 καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὑποκριτῶν θήσει· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

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).
