- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 After these thinges Iesus wet his waye over the see of Galile nye to a cyte called Tiberias.
1 PASADAS estas cosas, fuése Jesús de la otra parte de la mar de Galilea, [que es] de Tiberias.
2 And a greate multitude folowed him because they had sene his myracles which he dyd on them that were diseased.
2 Y seguíale grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.
3 And Iesus went vp into a mountayne and there he sate with his disciples.
3 Y subió Jesús á un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.
4 And ester a feast of the Iewes was nye.
4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los Judíos.
5 Then Iesus lifte vp his eyes and sawe a greate company come vnto him and sayde vnto Philip: whence shall we bye breed that these might eate.
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 This he sayde to prove him: for he him sylfe knewe what he wolde do.
6 Mas esto decía para probarle; porque él sabía lo que había de hacer.
7 Philip answered him two hondred peny worthe of breed are not sufficient for them that every man have a litell.
7 Respondióle Felipe: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarán, para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco.
8 Then sayde vnto him one of his disciples Andrew Simon Peters brother.
8 Dícele uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:
9 There ys a lad here which hath fyve barly loves and two fisshes: but what is that amonge so many?
9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pececillos; ¿mas qué es esto entre tantos?
10 And Iesus sayde. Make the people sit doune: Ther was moche grasse in the place. And the men sate doune in nombre about five thousande.
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 Iesus toke the breed and gave thankes and gave to the disciples and his disciples to them that were set doune. And lykwyse of the fysshes as moche as they wolde.
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 When they had eate ynough he sayd vnto his disciples: gadder vp the broke meate that remayneth: that nothinge be loost.
12 Y como fueron saciados, dijo á sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, porque no se pierda nada.
13 And they gadered it to geder and fylled twelve baskettes with the broken meate of the five barly loves which broken meate remayned vnto the 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 Then the men when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd sayde: This is of a trueth the Prophet that shuld come into the worlde.
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 When Iesus perceaved that they wolde come and take him vp to make him kinge he departed agayne into a mountayne him silfe a lone.
15 Y entendiendo Jesús que habían de venir para arrebatarle, y hacerle rey, volvió á retirarse al monte, él solo.
16 And when even was come his disciples wet vnto the see
16 Y como se hizo tarde, descendieron sus discípulos á la mar;
17 and entred into a shyppe and went over the see vnto Capernaum. And anone it was darcke and Iesus was not come to 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 see arose with a greate winde that blew.
18 Y levantábase la mar con un gran viento que soplaba.
19 And when they had rowe aboute a .xxv. or a xxx. furlonges they sawe Iesus walke on the see and drawe nye vnto the shyp and they were afrayed.
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 And he sayde vnto them: It is I be not a frayde.
20 Mas él les dijo: Yo soy; no tengáis miedo.
21 Then wolde they have receaved him into the shyp and the ship was by and by at the londe whyther they went.
21 Ellos entonces gustaron recibirle en el barco: y luego el barco llegó á la tierra donde iban.
22 The daye folowynge the people which stode on the other syde of the see sawe that ther was none other shyp theare save that one wher in his disciples were entred and that Iesus went not in with his disciples into the ship: but that his disciples were gone awaye 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 How be it, ther came other shippes from Tiberias nye vnto the place where they ate breed when the Lorde had blessed.
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 Then when the people sawe that Iesus was not there nether his disciples they also toke shippinge and came to Caparnaum sekinge for Iesus.
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 founde him on the other syde of the see they sayd vnto him: Rabbi when camest thou hidder?
25 Y hallándole de la otra parte de la mar, dijéronle: Rabbí, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?
26 Iesus answered them and sayde: verely verely I saye vnto you: ye seke me not because ye sawe the myracles: but because ye ate of the loves 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 Laboure not for the meate which perissheth but for the meate that endureth vnto everlastynge lyfe whiche meate the sonne of man shall geve vnto 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 Then sayd they vnto him: what shall we do that we myght worke the workes of God?
28 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué haremos para que obremos las obras de Dios?
29 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. This is the worke of God that ye beleve on him who he hath sent.
29 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Esta es la obra de Dios, que creáis en el que él ha enviado.
30 They sayde vnto him: what signe shewest thou then that we maye se and beleve the? What doest thou worke?
30 Dijéronle entonces: ¿Qué señal pues haces tú, para que veamos, y te creamos? ¿Qué obras?
31 Oure fathers dyd eate Manna in the desert as that is writte: He gave them breed from heaven to eate.
31 Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: Pan del cielo les dió á comer.
32 Iesus sayde vnto the: verely verely I saye vnto you: Moses gave you breed from heaven: but my father geveth you the true breed 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 breed of God is he which cometh doune from heaven and geveth lyfe vnto the worlde.
33 Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que descendió del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 Then sayde they vnto him: Lorde ever moore geve vs this breed.
34 Y dijéronle: Señor, danos siempre este pan.
35 And Iesus sayde vnto them: I am that breed of life. He that cometh to me shall not honger: and he that beleveth on me shall never thurst.
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 sayed vnto you: that ye have sene me and yet beleve not.
36 Mas os he dicho, que aunque me habéis visto, no creéis.
37 All that the father geveth me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me I cast not awaye.
37 Todo lo que el Padre me da, vendrá á mí; y al que á mí viene, no [le] hecho fuera.
38 For I came doune from heaven: not to do myne awne will but his will which hath sent me.
38 Porque he descendido del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió.
39 And this is the fathers will which hath sent me that of all which he hath geven me I shuld loose no thinge: but shuld rayse it vp agayne at the last daye.
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 wyll of him that sent me: that every man which seith the sonne and beleveth on him have everlastinge lyfe. And I will rayse him vp at the last daye.
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 Iewes then murmured at him because he sayde: I am that breed which is come doune from heaven.
41 Murmuraban entonces de él los Judíos, porque había dicho: Yo soy el pan que descendí del cielo.
42 And they sayde: Is not this Iesus the sonne of Ioseph whose father and mother we knowe? How ys that then that he sayeth I came doune 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 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. Murmur not betwene youre selves.
43 Y Jesús respondió, y díjoles: No murmuréis entre vosotros.
44 No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me, drawe him. And I will rayse him vp at the last daye.
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 Prophetes, that they shall all be taught of God. Every man therfore that hath hearde and hath learned of the father commeth vnto 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 eny man hath sene the father save he which is of God: the same hath sene the father.
46 No que alguno haya visto al Padre, sino aquel que vino de Dios, éste ha visto al Padre.
47 Verely verely I saye vnto you he that beleveth on me hath everlastinge lyfe.
47 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que cree en mí, tiene vida eterna.
48 I am that breed of lyfe.
48 Yo soy el pan de vida.
49 Youre fathers dyd eate Mana in the wildernes and are deed.
49 Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos.
50 This is that breed which cometh from heaven that he which eateth of it shuld also not dye.
50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que el que de él comiere, no muera.
51 I am that lyvinge breed which came doune from heaven. Yf eny man eate of this breed he shall live forever. And the breed that I will geve is my flesshe which I will geve for the lyfe of the worlde
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 And the Iewes strove amonge them selves sayinge: How can this felowe geve vs his flesshe to eate?
52 Entonces los Judíos contendían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Cómo puede éste darnos su carne á comer?
53 Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Verely, verely I saye vnto you except ye eate the flesshe of the sonne of man and drinke his bloude ye shall not have lyfe in you.
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 Whosoever eateth my flesshe and drinketh my bloude hath eternall lyfe: and I will rayse him vp at the last daye.
54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna: y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
55 For my flesshe is meate in dede: and my bloude is drynke in dede.
55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
56 He that eateth my flesshe and drynketh my bloude dwelleth in me and I in him.
56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, en mí permanece, y yo en él.
57 As the lyvinge father hath sent me even so lyve I by my father: and he that eateth me shall live by me.
57 Como me envió el Padre viviente, y yo vivo por el Padre, asimismo el que me come, él también vivirá por mí.
58 This is the breed which cam from heaven: not as youre fathers have eaten Manna and are deed. He that eateth of this breed shall live ever.
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 These thinges sayd he in the synagoge as he taught in Capernaum.
59 Estas cosas dijo en la sinagoga, enseñando en Capernaum.
60 Many of his disciples when they had herde this sayde: this is an herde sayinge: who can abyde the hearinge of it?
60 Y muchos de sus discípulos oyéndo[lo], dijeron: Dura es esta palabra: ¿quién la puede oir?
61 Iesus knew in him selfe that his disciples murmured at it and sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you?
61 Y sabiendo Jesús en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, díjoles: ¿Esto os escandaliza?
62 What and yf ye shall se the sonne of man ascede vp where he was before?
62 ¿Pues [qué], si viereis al Hijo del hombre que sube donde estaba primero?
63 It is the sprete that quyckeneth the flesshe proffeteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you are sprete and lyfe.
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 But ther are some of you that beleve not. For Iesus knewe from the begynnynge which they were that beleved not and who shuld betraye him.
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 And he sayde: Therfore sayde I vnto you: that no man can come vnto me except it were geven vnto him of my father.
65 Y dijo: Por eso os he dicho que ninguno puede venir á mí, si no le fuere dado del Padre.
66 From that tyme many of his disciples wet backe and walked no moore with him.
66 Desde esto, muchos de sus discípulos volvieron atrás, y ya no andaban con él.
67 Then sayde Iesus to the twelve: will ye alsoo goo awaye?
67 Dijo entonces Jesús á los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?
68 Then Simon Peter answered: Master to whom shall we goo? Thou haste the wordes of eternall lyfe,
68 Y respondióle Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿á quién iremos? tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.
69 and we beleve and knowe that thou arte Christ the sonne of the lyvinge God.
69 Y nosotros creemos y conocemos que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios viviente.
70 Iesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve and yet one of you is the devyll?
70 Jesús le respondió: ¿No he escogido yo á vosotros doce, y uno de vosotros es diablo?
71 He spake it of Iudas Iscariot the sonne of Simon. For he it was that shuld betraye him and was one of the twelve.
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.

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.
