Mark 6 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 He went out from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
1 Y SALIÓ de allí, y vino á su tierra, y le siguieron sus discípulos.
2 When the Sabbath came, he taught in the synagogue. Many people heard him and they were amazed. They said, “Where did he get these teachings?” “What is this wisdom that has been given to him?” “What are these miracles that he does with 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 the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?” They were offended by Jesus.
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 Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”
4 Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta deshonrado sino en su tierra, y entre sus parientes, y en su casa.
5 He was unable to do any mighty work, except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
5 Y no pudo hacer allí alguna maravilla; solamente sanó unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos.
6 He was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went around the villages teaching.
6 Y estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos. Y rodeaba las aldeas de alrededor, enseñando.
7 Then he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and he gave them authority 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 instructed them to take nothing for their journey, except a staff—no bread, no bag, and no money in their belts—
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 to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
9 Mas que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas.
10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, remain until you go away from there.
10 Y les decía: Donde quiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de allí.
11 If any town will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave that place, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony to them.”
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 They went out and proclaimed that people should turn away from their sins.
12 Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
13 Y echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite á muchos enfermos, y sanaban.
14 King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work 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 Some others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets in ancient times.”
15 Otros decían: Elías es. Y otros decían: Profeta es, ó alguno de los profetas.
16 But when Herod heard this he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”
16 Y oyéndo[lo] Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan el que yo degollé: él ha resucitado de los muertos.
17 For Herod sent to have John arrested and he had him bound in prison on account of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), because he had 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 told Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”
18 Porque Juan decía á Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.
19 But Herodias held on to anger against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not,
19 Mas Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía:
20 for Herod feared John; he knew that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. Listening to him made him greatly upset, yet he heard 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 Then the opportunity came when Herod had his birthday and he made a dinner for his officials, and his commanders, and leaders 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 The daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced for them, and she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want and I will give it 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 He swore to her saying, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
23 Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidieres te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask him for?” She said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
24 Y saliendo ella, dijo á su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella dijo: La cabeza de Juan Bautista.
25 She immediately hurried back to the king, and she asked, saying, “I want you to give me, right now, the head of John the Baptist on a wooden platter.”
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 Though this deeply grieved the king, he could not refuse her request because of the oath he had made and because of his dinner guests.
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 So the king sent a soldier from his guard and commanded him to bring him John's head. The guard went and beheaded him in the prison.
27 Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;
28 He brought his head on a platter 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 When his disciples heard of this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
29 Y oyéndo[lo] sus discípulos, vinieron y tomaron su cuerpo, y le pusieron en un sepulcro.
30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
30 Y los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado.
31 Then he said to them, “Come away by yourselves into a deserted place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
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 So they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
32 Y se fueron en un barco al lugar desierto aparte.
33 But they saw them leaving and many recognized them, and they ran there together on foot from all the towns, and they arrived there before them.
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 When they came ashore, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them 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 When the hour was late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place and the hour is already late.
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 Send them away so that they may go into the nearby countryside and villages to buy something to eat for themselves.”
36 Envíalos para que vayan á los cortijos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren para sí pan; porque no tienen qué comer.
37 But he answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Can we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it 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 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five loaves and two fish.”
38 Y él les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id, y vedlo. Y sabiéndolo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.
39 He commanded all the people to sit down in groups upon the green grass.
39 Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar á todos por partidas sobre la hierba verde.
40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
40 Y se recostaron por partidas, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta.
41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them 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 They all ate until they were satisfied.
42 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron.
43 They took up broken pieces of bread, twelve baskets full, and also pieces of the fish.
43 Y alzaron de los pedazos doce cofines llenos, y de los peces.
44 There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
44 Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the crowd 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 When they were gone, he went up the mountain to pray.
46 Y después que los hubo despedido, se fué al monte á orar.
47 Evening came, and the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.
47 Y como fué la tarde, el barco estaba en medio de la mar, y él solo en tierra.
48 He saw that they straining against the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he wanted 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 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought he was a ghost and cried out,
49 Y viéndole ellos, que andaba sobre la mar, pensaron que era fantasma, y dieron voces;
50 because they saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said to them, “Be courageous! It is I! 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 He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased blowing. They were completely amazed.
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 had not understood what the loaves meant. Instead, their hearts were hardened.
52 Porque aun no habían considerado lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban ofuscados sus corazones.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.
53 Y cuando estuvieron de la otra parte, vinieron á tierra de Genezaret, y tomaron puerto.
54 When they came out of the boat, the people recognized him immediately,
54 Y saliendo ellos del barco, luego le conocieron.
55 and they ran throughout the whole region and began to bring the sick on their mats to wherever they heard he was.
55 Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron á traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, á donde oían que estaba.
56 Wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or into the country, they would put the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch the edge of his garment, and as many as touched him were healed.
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.

"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.
