1 And He went forth from there, and came to His own country, and His disciples follow Him,
1 Y SALIÓ de allí, y vino á su tierra, y le siguieron sus discípulos.
2 and Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were astonished, saying, “From where [did] this One [hear] these things? And what [is] the wisdom that was given to Him, that also such mighty works are done through His hands?
2 Y llegado el sábado, comenzó á enseñar en la sinagoga; y muchos oyéndole, estaban atónitos, diciendo: ¿De dónde tiene éste estas cosas? ¿Y qué sabiduría es ésta que le es dada, y tales maravillas que por sus manos son hechas?
3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?” And they were being stumbled at Him.
3 ¿No es éste el carpintero, hijo de María, hermano de Jacobo, y de José, y de Judas, y de Simón? ¿No están también aquí con nosotros, sus hermanas? Y se escandalizaban en él.
4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his relatives, and in his own house”;
4 Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta deshonrado sino en su tierra, y entre sus parientes, y en su casa.
5 and He was not able to do any mighty work there, except having put hands on a few sick, He healed [them];
5 Y no pudo hacer allí alguna maravilla; solamente sanó unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos.
6 and He wondered because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, in a circle, teaching,
6 Y estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos. Y rodeaba las aldeas de alrededor, enseñando.
7 and He calls near the Twelve, and He began to send them forth two by two, and He was giving them power over the unclean spirits,
7 Y llamó á los doce, y comenzó á enviarlos de dos en dos: y les dió potestad sobre los espíritus inmundos.
8 and He commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only—no leather pouch, no bread, no brass in the girdle,
8 Y les mandó que no llevasen nada para el camino, sino solamente báculo; no alforja, ni pan, ni dinero en la bolsa;
9 but having been shod with sandals, and you may not put on two coats.
9 Mas que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas.
10 And He said to them, “Whenever you may enter into a house, remain there until you may depart from there,
10 Y les decía: Donde quiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de allí.
11 and as many as may not receive you nor hear you, going out from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; [[truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in [the] day of judgment than for that city.”]]
11 Y todos aquellos que no os recibieren ni os oyeren, saliendo de allí, sacudid el polvo que está debajo de vuestros pies, en testimonio á ellos. De cierto os digo que más tolerable será [el castigo] de los de Sodoma y Gomorra el día del juicio, que el de aquella ciudad.
12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might convert,
12 Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen.
13 and they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing many sick with oil, and they were healing [them].
13 Y echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite á muchos enfermos, y sanaban.
14 And King Herod heard (for His Name became public), and he said, “John the Immerser was raised out of the dead, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.”
14 Y oyó el rey Herodes [la fama de Jesús], porque su nombre se había hecho notorio; y dijo: Juan el que bautizaba, ha resucitado de los muertos, y por tanto, virtudes obran en él.
15 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
15 Otros decían: Elías es. Y otros decían: Profeta es, ó alguno de los profetas.
16 And Herod having heard, said, “He whom I beheaded—John—this is he; he was raised out of the dead.”
16 Y oyéndo[lo] Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan el que yo degollé: él ha resucitado de los muertos.
17 For Herod himself, having sent forth, laid hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he married her,
17 Porque el mismo Herodes había enviado, y prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado en la cárcel á causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano; pues la había tomado por mujer.
18 for John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother”;
18 Porque Juan decía á Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.
19 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
19 Mas Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía:
20 for Herod was fearing John, knowing him [to be] a righteous and holy man, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
20 Porque Herodes temía á Juan, sabiendo que era varón justo y santo, y le tenía respeto: y oyéndole, hacía muchas cosas; y le oía de buena gana.
21 And a seasonable day having come when Herod on his birthday was making a banquet to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,
21 Y venido un día oportuno, en que Herodes, en la fiesta de su nacimiento, daba una cena á sus príncipes y tribunos, y á los principales de Galilea;
22 and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those dining with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask of me whatever you will, and I will give to you,”
22 Y entrando la hija de Herodías, y danzando, y agradando á Herodes y á los que estaban con él á la mesa, el rey dijo á la muchacha: Pídeme lo que quisieres, que yo te lo daré.
23 and he swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me, I will give to you—to the half of my kingdom.”
23 Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidieres te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.
24 And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, “What will I ask for myself?” And she said, “The head of John the Immerser”;
24 Y saliendo ella, dijo á su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella dijo: La cabeza de Juan Bautista.
25 and having come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, “I will that you may immediately give me the head of John the Immerser on a plate.”
25 Entonces ella entró prestamente al rey, y pidió, diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan Bautista.
26 And the king, made very sorrowful because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, would not put her away,
26 Y el rey se entristeció mucho; mas á causa del juramento, y de los que estaban con él á la mesa, no quiso desecharla.
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,
27 Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;
28 and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother;
28 El cual fué, y le degolló en la cárcel, y trajo su cabeza en un plato, y la dió á la muchacha, y la muchacha la dió á su madre.
29 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.
29 Y oyéndo[lo] sus discípulos, vinieron y tomaron su cuerpo, y le pusieron en un sepulcro.
30 And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus, and they told Him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,
30 Y los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado.
31 and He said to them, “Come yourselves apart to a desolate place, and rest a little,” for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,
31 Y él les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte al lugar desierto, y reposad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, que ni aun tenían lugar de comer.
32 and they went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
32 Y se fueron en un barco al lugar desierto aparte.
33 And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognized Him, and they ran there by land from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to Him,
33 Y los vieron ir muchos, y le conocieron; y concurrieron allá muchos á pie de las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron á él.
34 and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He began to teach many things.
34 Y saliendo Jesús vió grande multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor; y les comenzó á enseñar muchas cosas.
35 And now the hour being advanced, His disciples having come near to Him, say, “The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,
35 Y como ya fuese el día muy entrado, sus discípulos llegaron á él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y el día ya muy entrado;
36 let them away, that having gone away into the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.”
36 Envíalos para que vayan á los cortijos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren para sí pan; porque no tienen qué comer.
37 And He answering said to them, “You give them to eat,” and they say to Him, “Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denarii worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?”
37 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles de comer vosotros. Y le dijeron: ¿[Que] vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer?
38 And He says to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see”; and having known, they say, “Five, and two fishes.”
38 Y él les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id, y vedlo. Y sabiéndolo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.
39 And He commanded them to make all recline in companies on the green grass,
39 Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar á todos por partidas sobre la hierba verde.
40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
40 Y se recostaron por partidas, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta.
41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed, and broke the loaves, and was giving [them] to His disciples, that they may set [them] before them, and the two fishes He divided to all,
41 Y tomados los cinco panes y los dos peces, mirando al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dió á sus discípulos para que [los] pusiesen delante: y repartió á todos los dos peces.
42 and they all ate, and were filled,
42 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron.
43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
43 Y alzaron de los pedazos doce cofines llenos, y de los peces.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
44 Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.
45 And immediately He constrained His disciples to go into the boat, and to go before [Him] to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He may let the multitude away,
45 Y luego dió priesa á sus discípulos á subir en el barco, é ir delante de él á Bethsaida de la otra parte, entre tanto que él despedía la multitud.
46 and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
46 Y después que los hubo despedido, se fué al monte á orar.
47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land;
47 Y como fué la tarde, el barco estaba en medio de la mar, y él solo en tierra.
48 and He saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.
48 Y los vió fatigados bogando, porque el viento les era contrario: y cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche, vino á ellos andando sobre la mar, y quería precederlos.
49 And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
49 Y viéndole ellos, que andaba sobre la mar, pensaron que era fantasma, y dieron voces;
50 for they all saw Him, and were troubled, and immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, “Take courage! I AM; do not be afraid.”
50 Porque todos le veían, y se turbaron. Mas luego habló con ellos, y les dijo: Alentaos; yo soy, no temáis.
51 And He went up to them into the boat, and the wind stilled, and greatly out of measure they were amazed in themselves, and were wondering,
51 Y subió á ellos en el barco, y calmó el viento: y ellos en gran manera estaban fuera de sí, y se maravillaban:
52 for they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart has been hard.
52 Porque aun no habían considerado lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban ofuscados sus corazones.
53 And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
53 Y cuando estuvieron de la otra parte, vinieron á tierra de Genezaret, y tomaron puerto.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
54 Y saliendo ellos del barco, luego le conocieron.
55 they ran around through all that surrounding region, and they began to carry around on the pallets those being ill, where they were hearing that He is,
55 Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron á traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, á donde oían que estaba.
56 and wherever He was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the marketplaces they were laying the ailing, and were calling on Him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of His garment, and as many as were touching Him were saved.
56 Y donde quiera que entraba, en aldeas, ó ciudades, ó heredades, ponían en las calles á los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que tocasen siquiera el borde de su vestido; y todos los que le tocaban quedaban 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).
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.
… said by Mark: "And whithersoever He entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch if it were but the border of His garment: and as many as touched Him were made whole." None other man did such things in them.

For as the former said, "Ye generation of vipers;" so this latter, "How long will ye halt upon both your hips?" And the one said, "Hast thou killed, and inherited?" the other, "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother Philip's wife." Seest thou the rock?

"A prophet," saith He, "is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house: and He did not," it is said, "many mighty works, because of their unbelief." But Luke saith, "And He did not there many miracles." And yet it was to be expected He should have done them.
