1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that 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 followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
2 Y seguíale grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.
3 Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
3 Y subió Jesús á un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.
4 Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los Judíos.
5 When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, 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 And this he said to try 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 pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take 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, saith to him:
8 Dícele uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:
9 There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; 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: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
10 Entonces Jesús dijo: Haced recostar la gente. Y había mucha hierba en aquel lugar: y recostáronse como número de cinco mil varones.
11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.
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 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, 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 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that 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 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that 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 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
15 Y entendiendo Jesús que habían de venir para arrebatarle, y hacerle rey, volvió á retirarse al monte, él solo.
16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.
16 Y como se hizo tarde, descendieron sus discípulos á la mar;
17 And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto 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 And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.
18 Y levantábase la mar con un gran viento que soplaba.
19 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, 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 saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.
20 Mas él les dijo: Yo soy; no tengáis miedo.
21 They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship 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 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away 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 But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving 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 When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for 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 on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
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 miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
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 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.
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 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?
28 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué haremos para que obremos las obras de Dios?
29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.
29 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Esta es la obra de Dios, que creáis en el que él ha enviado.
30 They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
30 Dijéronle entonces: ¿Qué señal pues haces tú, para que veamos, y te creamos? ¿Qué obras?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is 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 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth 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 that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
33 Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que descendió del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.
34 Y dijéronle: Señor, danos siempre este pan.
35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth 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 said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.
36 Mas os he dicho, que aunque me habéis visto, no creéis.
37 All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh 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 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
38 Porque he descendido del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió.
39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in 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 And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in 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 The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down 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 not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down 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 Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.
43 Y Jesús respondió, y díjoles: No murmuréis entre vosotros.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in 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 is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh 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 any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath 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 unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting 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 did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
49 Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of 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 which came down 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 any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; 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 The Jews therefore strove 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 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall 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 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, en mí permanece, y yo en él.
57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth 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 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by 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 came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.
59 Estas cosas dijo en la sinagoga, enseñando en Capernaum.
60 These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.
60 Y muchos de sus discípulos oyéndo[lo], dijeron: Dura es esta palabra: ¿quién la puede oir?
61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?
61 Y sabiendo Jesús en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, díjoles: ¿Esto os escandaliza?
62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?
62 ¿Pues [qué], si viereis al Hijo del hombre que sube donde estaba primero?
63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up 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 that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. 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 of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that 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 he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given 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 walked no more with him.
67 Dijo entonces Jesús á los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?
68 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
68 Y respondióle Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿á quién iremos? tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.
69 And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast 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 have known, that thou art 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 not I chosen you twelve; and one of 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 meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.

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).
It was a great miracle that was wrought, dearly beloved, for five thousand men to be filled with five loaves and two fishes, and the remnants of the fragments to fill twelve baskets. A great miracle: but we shall not wonder much at what was done, if we give heed to Him That did it.

The miracles performed by our Lord Jesus Christ are indeed divine works, and incite the human mind to rise to the apprehension of God from the things that are seen.

Beloved, let us not contend with violent men, but learn when the doing so brings no hurt to our virtue to give place to their evil counsels; for so all their hardihood is checked.

Again, withdrawing from thence to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, He there seeing a great crowd had followed Him, fed all that multitude with five loaves of bread, and twelve baskets of fragments remained over and above.
… speaking mystically of eating His flesh, when those who did not understand Him were offended and went away, saying, "This is an hard saying, who can hear it?" He answered to the rest who remained, "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." The Principle, therefore, having assumed a human soul and flesh, cleanses the soul and flesh …
