- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 At that time Herod the Tetrarche heard of the fame of Iesus,
1 EN aquel tiempo Herodes el tetrarca oyó la fama de Jesús,
2 And sayde vnto his seruaunts, This is that Iohn Baptist, hee is risen againe from the deade, and therefore great woorkes are wrought by him.
2 Y dijo á sus criados: Este es Juan el Bautista: él ha resucitado de los muertos, y por eso virtudes obran en él.
3 For Herod had taken Iohn, and bounde him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife.
3 Porque Herodes había prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado y puesto en la cárcel, por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano;
4 For Iohn saide vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her.
4 Porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito tenerla.
5 And when hee woulde haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet.
5 Y quería matarle, mas temía al pueblo; porque le tenían como á profeta.
6 But when Herods birth day was kept, the daughter of Herodias daunced before them, and pleased Herod.
6 Mas celebrándose el día del nacimiento de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio, y agradó á Herodes.
7 Wherefore he promised with an othe, that he would giue her whatsoeuer she would aske.
7 Y prometió él con juramento de darle todo lo que pidiese.
8 And shee being before instructed of her mother, sayde, Giue mee here Iohn Baptists head in a platter.
8 Y ella, instruída primero de su madre, dijo: Dame aquí en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.
9 And the King was sorie: neuerthelesse because of the othe, and them that sate with him at the table, he commanded it to be giuen her,
9 Entonces el rey se entristeció; mas por el juramento, y por los que estaban juntamente á la mesa, mandó que se le diese.
10 And sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison.
10 Y enviando, degolló á Juan en la cárcel.
11 And his head was brought in a platter, and giuen to the maide, and shee brought it vnto her mother.
11 Y fué traída su cabeza en un plato, y dada á la muchacha; y ella la presentó á su madre.
12 And his disciples came, and tooke vp the bodie, and buried it, and went, and tolde Iesus.
12 Entonces llegaron sus discípulos, y tomaron el cuerpo, y lo enterraron; y fueron, y dieron las nuevas á Jesús.
13 And when Iesus heard it, hee departed thence by shippe into a desert place apart. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed him on foote out of the cities.
13 Y oyéndo[lo] Jesús, se apartó de allí en un barco á un lugar descierto, apartado: y cuando las gentes [lo] oyeron, le siguieron á pie de las ciudades.
14 And Iesus went foorth and sawe a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.
14 Y saliendo Jesús, vió un gran gentío, y tuvo compasión de ellos, y sanó á los que de ellos había enfermos.
15 And when euen was come, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desart place, and the time is alreadie past: let the multitude depart, that they may goe into the townes, and bye them vitailes.
15 Y cuando fué la tarde del día, se llegaron á él sus discípulos, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y el tiempo es ya pasado: despide las gentes, para que se vayan por las aldeas, y compren para sí de comer.
16 But Iesus saide to them, They haue no neede to goe away: giue yee them to eate.
16 Y Jesús les dijo: No tienen necesidad de irse: dadles vosotros de comer.
17 Then saide they vnto him, Wee haue here but fiue loaues, and two fishes.
17 Y ellos dijeron: No tenemos aquí sino cinco panes y dos peces.
18 And he saide, Bring them hither to me.
18 Y él les dijo: Traédmelos acá.
19 And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, and tooke the fiue loaues and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen and blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
19 Y mandando á las gentes recostarse sobre la hierba, tomando los cinco panes y los dos peces, alzando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió y dió los panes á los discípulos, y los discípulos á las gentes.
20 And they did all eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, twelue baskets full.
20 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron; y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, doce cestas llenas.
21 And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousande men, beside women and litle children.
21 Y los que comieron fueron como cinco mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.
22 And straightway Iesus compelled his disciples to enter into a shippe, and to goe ouer before him, while he sent the multitude away.
22 Y luego Jesús hizo á sus discípulos entrar en el barco, é ir delante de él á la otra parte [del lago], entre tanto que él despedía á las gentes.
23 And assoone as hee had sent the multitude away, he went vp into a moutaine alone to pray: and when the euening was come, hee was there alone.
23 Y despedidas las gentes, subió al monte, apartado, á orar: y como fué la tarde del día, estaba allí solo.
24 And the shippe was nowe in the middes of the sea, and was tossed with waues: for it was a contrarie winde.
24 Y ya el barco estaba en medio de la mar, atormentado de las ondas; porque el viento era contrario.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the sea.
25 Mas á la cuarta vela de la noche, Jesús fué á ellos andando sobre la mar.
26 And when his disciples sawe him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and cried out for feare.
26 Y los discípulos, viéndole andar sobre la mar, se turbaron, diciendo: Fantasma es. Y dieron voces de miedo.
27 But straight way Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good comfort, It is I: be not afraide.
27 Mas luego Jesús les habló, diciendo: Confiad, yo soy; no tengáis miedo.
28 Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.
28 Entonces le respondió Pedro, y dijo: Señor, si tú eres, manda que yo vaya á ti sobre las aguas.
29 And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus.
29 Y él dijo: Ven. Y descendiendo Pedro del barco, andaba sobre las aguas para ir á Jesús.
30 But when he sawe a mightie winde, he was afraide: and as he began to sinke, he cried, saying, Master, saue me.
30 Mas viendo el viento fuerte, tuvo miedo; y comenzándose á hundir, dió voces, diciendo: Señor, sálvame.
31 So immediatly Iesus stretched foorth his hande, and caught him, and saide to him, O thou of litle faith, wherefore diddest thou doubt?
31 Y luego Jesús, extendiendo la mano, trabó de él, y le dice: Oh [hombre] de poca fe, ¿por qué dudaste?
32 And assoone as they were come into the ship, the winde ceased.
32 Y como ellos entraron en el barco, sosegóse el viento.
33 Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God.
33 Entonces los que estaban en el barco, vinieron y le adoraron, diciendo: Verdaderamente eres Hijo de Dios.
34 And when they were come ouer, they came into the land of Gennezaret.
34 Y llegando á la otra parte, vinieron á la tierra de Genezaret.
35 And when the men of that place knewe him, they sent out into all that countrey rounde about, and brought vnto him all that were sicke,
35 Y como le conocieron los hombres de aquel lugar, enviaron por toda aquella tierra alrededor, y trajeron á él todos los enfermos;
36 And besought him, that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely: and as many as touched it, were made whole.
36 Y le rogaban que solamente tocasen el borde de su manto; y todos los que tocaron, quedaron sanos.

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).
The lesson of the Gospel which we have just heard is a lesson of humility to us all, that we may see and know where we are, and whither we must tend and hasten. For that ship which carries the disciples, which was tossed in the waves by a contrary wind, is not without its meaning.

See Him on every occasion "departing," For not by His appearance only, but by His actions He would have this confirmed, because He knew the devil's craft, and that he would leave nothing undone to destroy this doctrine.

Soter is a name of five letters; Pater, too, contains five letters; Agape (love), too, consists of five letters; and our Lord, after blessing the five loaves, fed with them five thousand men.
Nevertheless after He was come up into the ship, they who were being borne in her, came saying, "Of a truth Thou art the Son of God." But before this plain discovery of Himself they were troubled, saying, "It is a phantom." But He coming up into the ship took away the fluctuation of mind from their hearts, when they …
