1 “Asegúrense de que sus buenas obras no sean delante de la gente, solo para que los vean. De lo contrario, no tendrán ninguna recompensa de su Padre que está en el cielo.
1 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Cuando den a los pobres, no sean como los hipócritas que se jactan anunciando en las sinagogas y en las calles lo que hacen para que la gente los alabe. Yo les digo la verdad: ellos ya tienen su recompensa.
2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 Cuando den a los pobres, que su mano izquierda no sepa lo que está haciendo su mano derecha.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 De esta manera, lo que den será secreto, y su Padre que ve lo que ocurre en secreto, los recompensará.
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 “Cuando oren, no sean como los hipócritas, porque a ellos les encanta ponerse en pie y orar en las sinagogas y en las esquinas de las calles para que la gente los vea. Yo les prometo que ellos ya tienen su recompensa.
5 “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
6 Pero ustedes, cuando oren, entren a su casa y cierren la puerta, y oren a su Padre en privado, y su Padre que ve lo que ocurre en privado, los recompensará.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 Cuando oren, no usen palabrerías incoherentes como hacen los gentiles, que piensan que serán escuchados por todas las palabras que repiten.
7 In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 No sean como ellos, porque su Padre sabe lo que ustedes necesitan incluso antes de que ustedes se lo pidan.
8 Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Así que oren de esta manera: “Nuestro Padre celestial, que tu nombre sean honrado.
9 Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 Venga tu reino. Que tu voluntad sea hecha en la tierra como se hace en el cielo.
10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Por favor, danos hoy el alimento que necesitamos.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Perdona nuestros pecados, así como nosotros hemos perdonado a quienes han pecado contra nosotros.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
14 “Porque si perdonan a quienes pecan contra ustedes, su Padre celestial también los perdonará.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Pero si no perdonan a quienes pecan contra ustedes, entonces su Padre celestial no les perdonará sus pecados.
15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “Cuando ayunen, no sean como los hipócritas que ponen caras tristes y un semblante espantoso para que todos vean que están ayunando.
16 “Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 En lugar de eso, cuando ayunen, laven sus rostros y luzcan elegantes,
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 a fin de que las personas no vean que ustedes están ayunando, y su Padre que es invisible y que ve lo que ocurre en privado, los recompensará.
18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 “No acumulen riquezas aquí en la tierra donde la polilla y el óxido las dañan, y donde los ladrones entran y las roban.
19 “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 En lugar de ello, ustedes deben acumular sus riquezas en el cielo, donde la polilla y el óxido no las dañan, y donde los ladrones no entran ni las roban.
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
21 Porque donde acumulen su riqueza, allí es donde estará su corazón también.
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “El ojo es como una lámpara que ilumina el cuerpo. De manera que si tu ojo es sano, entonces todo tu cuerpo tendrá luz.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Pero si tu ojo es perverso, entonces todo tu cuerpo estará en tinieblas. Si la luz dentro de ustedes está en tinieblas, ¡cuán oscuro es eso!
23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 Nadie puede servir a dos amos. Odiarán a uno y amarán al otro, o serán devotos a uno y despreciarán al otro. Ustedes no pueden servir a Dios y al dinero a la vez.
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
25 “Por eso les digo que no se preocupen por sus vidas. No se preocupen por lo que van a comer, o por lo que van a beber, o por la ropa con la que van a vestir. ¿Acaso no es la vida más importante que la comida, y el cuerpo más que la ropa?
25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Miren las aves—ellas no siembran ni cosechan, ni guardan alimento en los graneros, porque el Padre celestial las alimenta. ¿No son ustedes más que las aves?
26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
27 ¿Quién de ustedes puede, por mucho que se afane, añadir un minuto a su vida?
27 “Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
28 ¿Y por qué se preocupan por la ropa? Miren las hermosas flores del campo. Miren cómo crecen: No trabajan ni hilan.
28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
29 Pero les digo que ni siquiera Salomón en todo su esplendor se vistió como una de esas flores.
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 De modo que si Dios decora los campos así, la hierba que está hoy aquí y que mañana es lanzada al fuego, ¿no hará mucho más por ustedes que son personas que creen tan poco?
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 Así que no se preocupen diciendo ‘¿Qué comeremos?’ o ‘¿Qué beberemos?’ o ‘¿Qué vestiremos?’
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
32 Todas estas son las cosas que por las que los paganos se afanan, pero el Padre celestial ya sabe todo lo que ustedes necesitan.
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Busquen su reino en primer lugar, y su senda de justicia, y todo se les dará.
33 But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Así que no se preocupen por el día de mañana, porque el mañana puede preocuparse por sí mismo. Cada día trae su propio mal.
34 Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Matthew 6:13: “For thine is the kingdom…”
The closing doxology of the Lord’s Prayer, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,” is missing from the oldest Greek manuscripts of Matthew and from most of the Latin tradition, but it is very old: a shorter form already appears in the Didache. The Patriarchal Text includes it, and in the Divine Liturgy the priest sings it in a Trinitarian form. Most scholars see it as an early liturgical response that entered the text.
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).
The order established for your edification requires that ye learn first what to believe, and afterwards what to ask. For so saith the Apostle, "Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved." This testimony blessed Paul cited out of the Prophet; for by the Prophet were those times foretold, when all men should call upon God; …

Lay up treasure, therefore, in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt." And, "Be ye kind and merciful, as your Father also is kind and merciful, and maketh His sun to rise on sinners, and the righteous, and the wicked.
In like manner also, that [text] which says, "Ye cannot serve two masters," He does Himself interpret, saying, "Ye cannot serve God and mammon;" acknowledging God indeed as God, but mentioning mammon, a thing having also an existence.
… unto me, through that Medicine of our wounds who hung upon the tree, and who, sitting at Thy right hand, "maketh intercession for us." I know that she acted mercifully, and from the heart forgave her debtors their debts; do Thou also forgive her debts, whatever she contracted during so many years since the water of salvation.
