1 En ese tiempo, Herodes el tetrarca escuchó lo que Jesús hacía
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
2 y le dijo a sus siervos: “¡Él debe ser Juan el Bautista que resucitó de entre los muertos, y por eso tiene tales poderes!”
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 Herodes había arrestado a Juan, lo había encadenado y lo había puesto en prisión por petición de Herodías, la esposa de Felipe, su hermano.
3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 Esto lo hicieron porque Juan le había dicho: “No es legal que te cases con ella”.
4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 Herodes quería matar a Juan pero tenía miedo de la reacción del pueblo, pues ellos consideraban que él era un profeta.
5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Sin embargo, el día del cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en la fiesta, y Herodes estaba contento con ella.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
7 Así que le prometió con juramento darle cualquier cosa que ella deseara.
7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
8 Impulsada por su madre, Herodías dijo: “Dame aquí en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista”.
8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”
9 Entonces el rey se arrepintió de la promesa que había hecho, pero por los juramentos que había hecho frente a todos los invitados a su cena, dio la orden de hacerlo.
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 La orden fue enviada y Juan fue decapitado en la cárcel.
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Trajeron la cabeza de Juan en un plato y le fue entregado a la joven, quien lo entregó 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 Entonces los discípulos de Juan vinieron y se llevaron el cuerpo y lo sepultaron. Luego fueron a decírselo a Jesús.
12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 Cuando Jesús escuchó la noticia, se fue lejos en una barca a un lugar tranquilo para estar solo, pero cuando la multitud supo dónde estaba, 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 Cuando Jesús salió de la barca y vio a la gran multitud, se llenó de simpatía por ellos, y sanó a los enfermos que había entre ellos.
14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 Al llegar la noche, los discípulos se le acercaron y le dijeron, “Este lugar está a millas de distancia de cualquier parte y se está haciendo tarde. Despide la multitud para que puedan irse a las aldeas y comprar comida para ellos”.
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 Pero Jesús les dijo: “Ellos no necesitan irse. ¡Denles ustedes de comer!”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “Lo único que tenemos son cinco panes y un par de peces”, respondieron ellos.
17 They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 “Tráiganmelos”, dijo Jesús.
18 He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Entonces les dijo a las multitudes que se sentaran en la hierba. Luego tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, miró al cielo y los bendijo. Después de esto, partió los panes en pedazos y dio el pan a los discípulos, y los discípulos lo daban a las multitudes.
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 Todos comieron hasta que quedaron saciados. Entonces los discípulos recogieron las sobras y llenaron doce canastas.
20 They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 Aproximadamente cinco mil hombres comieron de aquella comida, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.
21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 Justo después de esto, Jesús llamó a los discípulos a que subieran a la barca para cruzar al otro lado del lago, 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 los despidió a todos, subió a la montaña para orar. Llegó la noche y él estaba allí solo.
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 En ese momento, ya la barca estaba lejos del suelo firme, las olas la arrastraban porque el viento soplaba contra ella.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Cerca de las 3 a.m. Jesús los alcanzó, caminando sobre el mar.
25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Cuando los discípulos lo vieron caminando sobre el mar, se asustaron. Entonces gritaron con terror: “¡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 inmediatamente Jesús les dijo: “¡No se preocupen, soy yo! ¡No tengan miedo!”
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Señor, si eres tú realmente, haz que yo llegue donde tu estás, caminando también sobre el agua”, respondió Pedro.
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 “Ven”, le dijo Jesús. Entonces Pedro salió de la barca y caminó sobre el agua hacia Jesús.
29 He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
30 Pero cuando vio cuán fuerte soplaba el viento, se asustó y comenzó a hundirse. “¡Señor! ¡Sálvame!”, gritaba.
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 De inmediato Jesús se extendió y lo tomó, y le dijo: “Tienes tan poca confianza en mi. ¿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 Y cuando entraron a la barca, el viento dejó de soplar.
32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Y los que estaban en la barca lo adoraban, diciendo: “¡Realmente 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 lago, llegaron a Genesaret.
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 Cuando la gente de allí se dio cuenta de que era Jesús, lo hicieron saber a todos en la región. Entonces trajeron ante Jesús a todos los que estaban 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 imploraban que dejara que los enfermos tan solo tocasen su manto. Todos los que lo tocaban eran 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.
