RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
1 PASADAS estas cosas, fuése Jesús de la otra parte de la mar de Galilea, [que es] de Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm.
2 Y seguíale grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.
3 Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples.
3 Y subió Jesús á un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.
4 Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near.
4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los Judíos.
5 And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?”
5 Y como alzó Jesús los ojos, y vió que había venido á él grande multitud, dice á Felipe: ¿De dónde compraremos pan para que coman éstos?
6 But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
6 Mas esto decía para probarle; porque él sabía lo que había de hacer.
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.”
7 Respondióle Felipe: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarán, para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
8 Dícele uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:
9 “There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?”
9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pececillos; ¿mas qué es esto entre tantos?
10 Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
10 Entonces Jesús dijo: Haced recostar la gente. Y había mucha hierba en aquel lugar: y recostáronse como número de cinco mil varones.
11 Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
11 Y tomó Jesús aquellos panes, y habiendo dado gracias, repartió á los discípulos, y los discípulos á los que estaban recostados: asimismo de los peces, cuanto querían.
12 Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.”
12 Y como fueron saciados, dijo á sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, porque no se pierda nada.
13 And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
13 Cogieron pues, é hinchieron doce cestas de pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada, que sobraron á los que habían comido.
14 Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
14 Aquellos hombres entonces, como vieron la señal que Jesús había hecho, decían: Este verdaderamente es el profeta que había de venir al mundo.
15 And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.
15 Y entendiendo Jesús que habían de venir para arrebatarle, y hacerle rey, volvió á retirarse al monte, él solo.
16 Then, when evening arrived, his disciples descended to the sea.
16 Y como se hizo tarde, descendieron sus discípulos á la mar;
17 And when they had climbed into a boat, they went across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had now arrived, and Jesus had not returned to them.
17 Y entrando en un barco, venían de la otra parte de la mar hacia Capernaum. Y era ya oscuro, y Jesús no había venido á ellos.
18 Then the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing.
18 Y levantábase la mar con un gran viento que soplaba.
19 And so, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were afraid.
19 Y como hubieron navegado como veinticinco ó treinta estadios, ven á Jesús que andaba sobre la mar, y se acercaba al barco: y tuvieron miedo.
20 But he said to them: “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
20 Mas él les dijo: Yo soy; no tengáis miedo.
21 Therefore, they were willing to receive him into the boat. But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
21 Ellos entonces gustaron recibirle en el barco: y luego el barco llegó á la tierra donde iban.
22 On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
22 El día siguiente, la gente que estaba de la otra parte de la mar, como vió que no había allí otra navecilla sino una, y que Jesús no había entrado con sus discípulos en ella, sino que sus discípulos se habían ido solos;
23 Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
23 Y que otras navecillas habían arribado de Tiberias junto al lugar donde habían comido el pan después de haber el Señor dado gracias;
24 Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
24 Como vió pues la gente que Jesús no estaba allí, ni sus discípulos, entraron ellos en las navecillas, y vinieron á Capernaum buscando á Jesús.
25 And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
25 Y hallándole de la otra parte de la mar, dijéronle: Rabbí, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?
26 Jesus answered them and said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten from the bread and were satisfied.
26 Respondióles Jesús, y dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que me buscáis, no porque habéis visto las señales, sino porque comisteis el pan y os hartasteis.
27 Do not work for food that perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
27 Trabajad no por la comida que perece, mas por la comida que á vida eterna permanece, la cual el Hijo del hombre os dará: porque á éste señaló el Padre, [que es] Dios.
28 Therefore, they said to him, “What should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?”
28 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué haremos para que obremos las obras de Dios?
29 Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he sent.”
29 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Esta es la obra de Dios, que creáis en el que él ha enviado.
30 And so they said to him: “Then what sign will you do, so that we may see it and believe in you? What will you work?
30 Dijéronle entonces: ¿Qué señal pues haces tú, para que veamos, y te creamos? ¿Qué obras?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert, just as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
31 Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: Pan del cielo les dió á comer.
32 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
32 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo: No os dió Moisés pan del cielo; mas mi Padre os da el verdadero pan del cielo.
33 For the bread of God is he who descends from heaven and gives life to the world.”
33 Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que descendió del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 And so they said to him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
34 Y dijéronle: Señor, danos siempre este pan.
35 Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
35 Y Jesús les dijo: Yo soy el pan de vida: el que á mí viene, nunca tendrá hambre; y el que en mí cree, no tendrá sed jamás.
36 But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
36 Mas os he dicho, que aunque me habéis visto, no creéis.
37 All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
37 Todo lo que el Padre me da, vendrá á mí; y al que á mí viene, no [le] hecho fuera.
38 For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
38 Porque he descendido del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió.
39 Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió, del Padre: Que todo lo que me diere, no pierda de ello, sino que lo resucite en el día postrero.
40 So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
40 Y esta es la voluntad del que me ha enviado: Que todo aquel que ve al Hijo, y cree en él, tenga vida eterna: y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
41 Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: “I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.”
41 Murmuraban entonces de él los Judíos, porque había dicho: Yo soy el pan que descendí del cielo.
42 And they said: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Then how can he say: ‘For I descended from heaven?’ ”
42 Y decían: ¿No es éste Jesús, el hijo de José, cuyo padre y madre nosotros conocemos? ¿cómo, pues, dice éste: Del cielo he descendido?
43 And so Jesus responded and said to them: “Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.
43 Y Jesús respondió, y díjoles: No murmuréis entre vosotros.
44 No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
44 Ninguno puede venir á mí, si el Padre que me envió no le trajere; y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
45 It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
45 Escrito está en los profetas: Y serán todos enseñados de Dios. Así que, todo aquel que oyó del Padre, y aprendió, viene á mí.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
46 No que alguno haya visto al Padre, sino aquel que vino de Dios, éste ha visto al Padre.
47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
47 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que cree en mí, tiene vida eterna.
48 I am the bread of life.
48 Yo soy el pan de vida.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
49 Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos.
50 This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que el que de él comiere, no muera.
51 I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
51 Yo soy el pan vivo que he descendido del cielo: si alguno comiere de este pan, vivirá para siempre; y el pan que yo daré es mi carne, la cual yo daré por la vida del mundo.
52 If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
52 Entonces los Judíos contendían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Cómo puede éste darnos su carne á comer?
53 Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Si no comiereis la carne del Hijo del hombre, y bebiereis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros.
54 And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna: y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
55 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
56 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, en mí permanece, y yo en él.
57 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 Como me envió el Padre viviente, y yo vivo por el Padre, asimismo el que me come, él también vivirá por mí.
58 Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
58 Este es el pan que descendió del cielo: no como vuestros padres comieron el maná, y son muertos: el que come de este pan, vivirá eternamente.
59 This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”
59 Estas cosas dijo en la sinagoga, enseñando en Capernaum.
60 He said these things when he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60 Y muchos de sus discípulos oyéndo[lo], dijeron: Dura es esta palabra: ¿quién la puede oir?
61 Therefore, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
61 Y sabiendo Jesús en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, díjoles: ¿Esto os escandaliza?
62 But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
62 ¿Pues [qué], si viereis al Hijo del hombre que sube donde estaba primero?
63 Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
63 El espíritu es el que da vida; la carne nada aprovecha: las palabras que yo os he hablado, son espíritu, y son vida.
64 It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64 Mas hay algunos de vosotros que no creen. Porque Jesús desde el principio sabía quiénes eran los que no creían, y quién le había de entregar.
65 But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
65 Y dijo: Por eso os he dicho que ninguno puede venir á mí, si no le fuere dado del Padre.
66 And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
66 Desde esto, muchos de sus discípulos volvieron atrás, y ya no andaban con él.
67 After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
67 Dijo entonces Jesús á los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?
68 Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 Y respondióle Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿á quién iremos? tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.
69 Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 Y nosotros creemos y conocemos que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios viviente.
70 And we have believed, and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
70 Jesús le respondió: ¿No he escogido yo á vosotros doce, y uno de vosotros es diablo?
71 Jesus answered them: “Have I not chosen you twelve? And yet one among you is a devil.”
71 Y hablaba de Judas Iscariote, [hijo] de Simón, porque éste era el que le había de entregar, el cual era uno de los doce.
72 Now he was speaking about Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For this one, even though he was one of the twelve, was about to betray him.

“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).
