Our work is divided into three sections. First, we characterise Saer's rewriting operations on the biblical hypotext, by recovering categories from Genette's theory of transtextuality. Secondly, we jote down some ideas about the function of this work-within-the-work in relation to the novel as a whole. Finally, as a conclusion, we propose a general approach to Saer’s rewriting of the Bible in his novels. El presente artículo aborda la reescritura de un episodio bíblico en La ocasión (1987), de Juan José Saer: la “alegoría teatral” Los reyes magos, obra ficticia que en la novela se atribuye a Garay López, uno de los personajes, y que conocemos a través de un resumen, referido por su autor intradiegético al protagonista, Bianco. Nuestro trabajo está estructurado en tres apartados. En primer lugar, caracterizamos las operaciones de reescritura de Saer con respecto al hipotexto bíblico, recuperando categorías de la teoría de la transtextualidad de Genette (1989). En segundo lugar, apuntamos brevemente algunas ideas sobre la función de esta obra-dentro-de-la-obra en relación con la novela como un todo. Por último, a modo conclusión, proponemos una descripción más general del modo en que Saer reescribe la Biblia en sus novelas.
