- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,
1 EN aquellos días, como hubo gran gentío, y no tenían qué comer, Jesús llamó á sus discípulos, y les dijo:
2 I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.
2 Tengo compasión de la multitud, porque ya hace tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer:
3 And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.
3 Y si los enviare en ayunas á sus casas, desmayarán en el camino; porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.
4 Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?
4 Y sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿De dónde podrá alguien hartar á estos de pan aquí en el desierto?
5 And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.
5 Y les preguntó: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
6 Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.
6 Entonces mandó á la multitud que se recostase en tierra; y tomando los siete panes, habiendo dado gracias, partió, y dió á sus discípulos que los pusiesen delante: y los pusieron delante á la multitud.
7 They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commanded them also to be set before them.
7 Tenían también unos pocos pececillos: y los bendijo, y mandó que también los pusiesen delante.
8 So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.
8 Y comieron, y se hartaron: y levantaron de los pedazos que habían sobrado, siete espuertas.
9 (And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.
9 Y eran los que comieron, como cuatro mil: y los despidió.
10 And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
10 Y luego entrando en el barco con sus discípulos, vino á las partes de Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.
11 Y vinieron los Fariseos, y comenzaron á altercar con él, pidiéndole señal del cielo, tentándole.
12 Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.
12 Y gimiendo en su espíritu, dice: ¿Por qué pide señal esta generación? De cierto os digo que no se dará señal á esta generación.
13 So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side.
13 Y dejándolos, volvió á entrar en el barco, y se fué de la otra parte.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe.
14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar pan, y no tenían sino un pan consigo en el barco.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heede, and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the leauen of Herod.
15 Y les mandó, diciendo: Mirad, guardaos de la levadura de los Fariseos, y de la levadura de Herodes.
16 And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread.
16 Y altercaban los unos con los otros diciendo: Pan no tenemos.
17 And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened?
17 Y como Jesús lo entendió, les dice: ¿Qué altercáis, porque no tenéis pan? ¿no consideráis ni entendéis? ¿aun tenéis endurecido vuestro corazón?
18 Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember?
18 ¿Teniendo ojos no veis, y teniendo oídos no oís? ¿y no os acordáis?
19 When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand, how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp? They said vnto him, Twelue.
19 Cuando partí los cinco panes entre cinco mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Doce.
20 And when I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp? And they said, Seuen.
20 Y cuando los siete panes entre cuatro mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
21 Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?
21 Y les dijo: ¿Cómo aun no entendéis?
22 And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.
22 Y vino á Bethsaida; y le traen un ciego, y le ruegan que le tocase.
23 Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought.
23 Entonces, tomando la mano del ciego, le sacó fuera de la aldea; y escupiendo en sus ojos, y poniéndole las manos encima, le preguntó si veía algo.
24 And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.
24 Y él mirando, dijo: Veo los hombres, pues veo que andan como árboles.
25 After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe. And hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely.
25 Luego le puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y le hizo que mirase; y fué restablecido, y vió de lejos y claramente á todos.
26 And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.
26 Y envióle á su casa, diciendo: No entres en la aldea, ni [lo] digas á nadie en la aldea.
27 And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi. And by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am?
27 Y salió Jesús y sus discípulos por las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo. Y en el camino preguntó á sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo?
28 And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.
28 Y ellos respondieron: Juan Bautista; y otros, Elías; y otros, Alguno de los profetas.
29 And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ.
29 Entonces él les dice: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Y respondiendo Pedro, le dice: Tú eres el Cristo.
30 And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.
30 Y les apercibió que no hablasen de él á ninguno.
31 Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe.
31 Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenía que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar después de tres días.
32 And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.
32 Y claramente decía esta palabra. Entonces Pedro le tomó, y le comenzó á reprender.
33 Then he turned backe, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
33 Y él, volviéndose y mirando á sus discípulos, riñó á Pedro, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Satanás; porque no sabes las cosas que son de Dios, sino las que son de los hombres.
34 And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will follow me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
34 Y llamando á la gente con sus discípulos, les dijo: Cualquiera que quisiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese á sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.
35 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it.
35 Porque el que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará.
36 For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?
36 Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si granjeare todo el mundo, y pierde su alma?
37 Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?
37 ¿O qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma?
38 For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.
38 Porque el que se avergonzare de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adulterina y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará también de él, cuando vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.

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).
In expounding to you the Holy Scriptures, I as it were break bread for you. Do ye in hunger receive it, and break forth with a fulness of phrase from the heart; and ye who are rich in your banquet, be not meagre in good works and deeds. What I deal out to you is not mine own.

… for the remission of sins be preached in His name among all nations." Now this is He who was born of Mary; for He says: "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected, and crucified, and on the third day rise again." The Gospel, therefore, knew no other son of man but Him who was of Mary, …
Hard and grievous does that appear which the Lord hath enjoined, that "whosoever will come after Him, must deny himself." But what He enjoineth is not hard or grievous, who aideth us that what He enjoineth may be done.

But Mark saith, that when they were come unto Him, and were questioning with Him, "He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?" And yet surely their inquiry was deserving of anger and great displeasure; yet nevertheless the benevolent and provident One is not angry, but pities and bewails them as incurably …
