1 In those days, there was again a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them,
1 EN aquellos días, como hubo gran gentío, y no tenían qué comer, Jesús llamó á sus discípulos, y les dijo:
2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue to be with me already for three days and have nothing to eat.
2 Tengo compasión de la multitud, porque ya hace tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer:
3 If I send them away to their home without eating, they may faint on the way. Some of them have come a long way.”
3 Y si los enviare en ayunas á sus casas, desmayarán en el camino; porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.
4 His disciples answered him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy these people?”
4 Y sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿De dónde podrá alguien hartar á estos de pan aquí en el desierto?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
5 Y les preguntó: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the crowd.
6 Entonces mandó á la multitud que se recostase en tierra; y tomando los siete panes, habiendo dado gracias, partió, y dió á sus discípulos que los pusiesen delante: y los pusieron delante á la multitud.
7 They also had a few small fish, and after he gave thanks for them, he commanded the disciples to serve these as well.
7 Tenían también unos pocos pececillos: y los bendijo, y mandó que también los pusiesen delante.
8 They ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the remaining broken pieces, seven large baskets.
8 Y comieron, y se hartaron: y levantaron de los pedazos que habían sobrado, siete espuertas.
9 There were about four thousand people. Then he sent them away.
9 Y eran los que comieron, como cuatro mil: y los despidió.
10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and they went into the region of Dalmanutha.
10 Y luego entrando en el barco con sus discípulos, vino á las partes de Dalmanutha.
11 Then the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him. They sought from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
11 Y vinieron los Fariseos, y comenzaron á altercar con él, pidiéndole señal del cielo, tentándole.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
12 Y gimiendo en su espíritu, dice: ¿Por qué pide señal esta generación? De cierto os digo que no se dará señal á esta generación.
13 Then he left them, got into a boat again, and went away to the other side.
13 Y dejándolos, volvió á entrar en el barco, y se fué de la otra parte.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them. They had no more than one loaf of bread in the boat.
14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar pan, y no tenían sino un pan consigo en el barco.
15 He warned them and said, “Keep watch and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
15 Y les mandó, diciendo: Mirad, guardaos de la levadura de los Fariseos, y de la levadura de Herodes.
16 The disciples reasoned with each other, “It is because we have no bread.”
16 Y altercaban los unos con los otros diciendo: Pan no tenemos.
17 Jesus was aware of this, and he said to them, “Why are you reasoning about not having bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not understand? Have your hearts become so dull?
17 Y como Jesús lo entendió, les dice: ¿Qué altercáis, porque no tenéis pan? ¿no consideráis ni entendéis? ¿aun tenéis endurecido vuestro corazón?
18 You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
18 ¿Teniendo ojos no veis, y teniendo oídos no oís? ¿y no os acordáis?
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces of bread did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
19 Cuando partí los cinco panes entre cinco mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Doce.
20 “When I broke the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many basketfuls did you take up?” They said to him, “Seven.”
20 Y cuando los siete panes entre cuatro mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
21 He said, “Do you not yet understand?”
21 Y les dijo: ¿Cómo aun no entendéis?
22 They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
22 Y vino á Bethsaida; y le traen un ciego, y le ruegan que le tocase.
23 Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
23 Entonces, tomando la mano del ciego, le sacó fuera de la aldea; y escupiendo en sus ojos, y poniéndole las manos encima, le preguntó si veía algo.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”
24 Y él mirando, dijo: Veo los hombres, pues veo que andan como árboles.
25 Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.
25 Luego le puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y le hizo que mirase; y fué restablecido, y vió de lejos y claramente á todos.
26 Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”
26 Y envióle á su casa, diciendo: No entres en la aldea, ni [lo] digas á nadie en la aldea.
27 Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”
27 Y salió Jesús y sus discípulos por las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo. Y en el camino preguntó á sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo?
28 They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, 'Elijah,' and others, 'One of the prophets.'”
28 Y ellos respondieron: Juan Bautista; y otros, Elías; y otros, Alguno de los profetas.
29 He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him, “You are the Christ.”
29 Entonces él les dice: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Y respondiendo Pedro, le dice: Tú eres el Cristo.
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
30 Y les apercibió que no hablasen de él á ninguno.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.
31 Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenía que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar después de tres días.
32 He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
32 Y claramente decía esta palabra. Entonces Pedro le tomó, y le comenzó á reprender.
33 But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”
33 Y él, volviéndose y mirando á sus discípulos, riñó á Pedro, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Satanás; porque no sabes las cosas que son de Dios, sino las que son de los hombres.
34 Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
34 Y llamando á la gente con sus discípulos, les dijo: Cualquiera que quisiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese á sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.
35 Porque el que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará.
36 What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and then forfeit his life?
36 Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si granjeare todo el mundo, y pierde su alma?
37 What can a person give in exchange for his life?
37 ¿O qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma?
38 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
38 Porque el que se avergonzare de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adulterina y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará también de él, cuando vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.

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).
In expounding to you the Holy Scriptures, I as it were break bread for you. Do ye in hunger receive it, and break forth with a fulness of phrase from the heart; and ye who are rich in your banquet, be not meagre in good works and deeds. What I deal out to you is not mine own.

… for the remission of sins be preached in His name among all nations." Now this is He who was born of Mary; for He says: "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected, and crucified, and on the third day rise again." The Gospel, therefore, knew no other son of man but Him who was of Mary, …
Hard and grievous does that appear which the Lord hath enjoined, that "whosoever will come after Him, must deny himself." But what He enjoineth is not hard or grievous, who aideth us that what He enjoineth may be done.

But Mark saith, that when they were come unto Him, and were questioning with Him, "He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?" And yet surely their inquiry was deserving of anger and great displeasure; yet nevertheless the benevolent and provident One is not angry, but pities and bewails them as incurably …
