YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,

1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:

2 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,

2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;

3 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.

4 'Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;

4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.

5 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;

5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;

6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].

6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.

7 'And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.

8 then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,

8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.

9 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.

9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.

10 'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.

11 'And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,

11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.

12 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.

12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.

13 'Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;

13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.

14 for many are called, and few chosen.'

14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.

15 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.

16 and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.

17 tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'

17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?

18 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, 'Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?

19 show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;

19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.

20 and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image and the inscription?'

20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?

21 they say to him, 'Caesar's;' then saith he to them, 'Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.

22 and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.

22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.

23 In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,

24 'Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.

24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.

25 'And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;

25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.

26 in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,

26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.

27 and last of all died also the woman;

27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.

28 therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?'

28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.

29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.

30 for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.

31 'And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'

32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.

33 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.

34 and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.

35 and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,

35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:

36 'Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?'

36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?

37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding —

37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.

38 this is a first and great command;

38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.

39 and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;

39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

40 on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.'

40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.

41 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,

42 saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'

42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.

43 He saith to them, 'How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,

43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:

44 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?

44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?

45 If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'

45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?

46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.

46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.

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).

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.

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.
