1 En aquel tiempo Herodes el tetrarca oyó la fama de Jesús
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 y dijo a sus esclavos: Éste es Juan el Bautista, quien resucitó de entre [los] muertos, y por eso actúan en él esos poderes milagrosos.
2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”
3 Porque Herodes había arrestado a Juan y lo metió en prisión a causa de Herodías, la esposa de su hermano Felipe,
3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito vivir con ella.
4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Quería matarlo, [pero] tenía temor al pueblo porque consideraban que él era profeta.
5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Pero cuando llegó un cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en el medio y agradó a Herodes,
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 por lo cual le prometió con juramento que le daría lo que pidiera.
7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Ella, instigada por su madre, dijo: ¡Dame ahora mismo la cabeza de Juan el Bautista en una bandeja!
8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
9 El rey se entristeció, pero a causa de los juramentos y de los reclinados, ordenó que se [le] diera.
9 The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
10 Envió al [verdugo] quien decapitó a Juan en la cárcel.
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Su cabeza fue llevada en una bandeja. Fue entregada a la muchacha, y [ésta] la llevó a su madre.
11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.
12 Sus discípulos llegaron, recogieron y sepultaron el cadáver, y le informaron a Jesús.
12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 Cuando Jesús oyó [esto], se retiró de allí en privado a un lugar solitario en una barca. La multitud lo [supo] y lo siguieron a pie desde las ciudades.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 Desembarcó y vio una gran multitud. Se enterneció por ellos y sanó a sus enfermos.
14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Al atardecer los discípulos se acercaron a Él y le dijeron: El lugar es solitario y la hora avanzada. Por tanto despide a la multitud para que vayan a las aldeas y compren su comida.
15 When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”
16 Jesús les dijo: No tienen necesidad de ir. Denles ustedes de comer.
16 But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Ellos le respondieron: No tenemos aquí sino cinco panes y dos peces.
17 They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 Entonces Él ordenó: Tráiganmelos acá.
18 He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Mandó que la multitud se recostara sobre la hierba. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, levantó los ojos al cielo y los bendijo. Los partió y los dio a los discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud.
19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20 Comieron todos y se saciaron. Recogieron lo que sobró: 12 cestos llenos.
20 They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Eran como 5.000 varones, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.
21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 De inmediato impulsó a los discípulos a subir a la barca, e ir delante de Él a la orilla opuesta mientras despedía a la multitud.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Después que despidió a la multitud, subió a la montaña a hablar con Dios en privado. Cuando llegó la noche estaba allí.
23 After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 Pero la barca, que estaba a varios kilómetros de la tierra, era zarandeada por las olas, porque el viento era contrario.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 En la cuarta vigilia de la noche [Jesús] fue hacia ellos y andaba sobre el mar.
25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Cuando los discípulos vieron que Él andaba sobre el mar, se aterrorizaron y gritaron de miedo: ¡Es un fantasma!
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 Pero enseguida les habló: ¡Tengan ánimo, Yo soy, no teman!
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 Entonces Pedro le respondió: Señor, si eres Tú, manda que yo vaya a Ti sobre las aguas.
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 Él le dijo: ¡Ven! Pedro bajó de la barca, caminó sobre las aguas y fue a Jesús.
29 He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30 Pero al ver el viento, se atemorizó. Cuando comenzó a hundirse, gritó: ¡Señor, sálvame!
30 But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 Al instante, Jesús extendió la mano. Lo tomó y le dijo: ¡Carente de fe! ¿Por qué dudaste?
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Cuando ellos subieron a la barca cesó el viento.
32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Los que estaban en la barca lo adoraron y dijeron: Verdaderamente eres el Hijo de Dios.
33 Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
34 Después de cruzar [el mar] llegaron a la tierra de Genesaret.
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Cuando los varones de aquel lugar lo reconocieron, notificaron a todo aquel territorio y le llevaron todos los enfermos.
35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;
36 Y le rogaban [que les permitiera ]aun tocar el borde de su ropa. Cuantos lo tocaron, fueron sanados.
36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

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."
