VUL Clementine Vulgate
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Et egressus inde, abiit in patriam suam: et sequebantur eum discipuli sui:
1 Y SALIÓ de allí, y vino á su tierra, y le siguieron sus discípulos.
1 He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2 et facto sabbato cœpit in synagoga docere: et multi audientes admirabantur in doctrina ejus, dicentes: Unde huic hæc omnia? et quæ est sapientia, quæ data est illi, et virtutes tales, quæ per manus ejus efficiuntur?
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?
2 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3 Nonne hic est faber, filius Mariæ, frater Jacobi, et Joseph, et Judæ, et Simonis? nonne et sorores ejus hic nobiscum sunt? Et scandalizabantur in illo.
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.
3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.
4 Et dicebat illis Jesus: Quia non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua, et in cognatione sua.
4 Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta deshonrado sino en su tierra, y entre sus parientes, y en su casa.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
5 Et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere, nisi paucos infirmos impositis manibus curavit:
5 Y no pudo hacer allí alguna maravilla; solamente sanó unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos.
5 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum, et circuibat castella in circuitu docens.
6 Y estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos. Y rodeaba las aldeas de alrededor, enseñando.
6 He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
7 Et vocavit duodecim: et cœpit eos mittere binos, et dabat illis potestatem spirituum immundorum.
7 Y llamó á los doce, y comenzó á enviarlos de dos en dos: y les dió potestad sobre los espíritus inmundos.
7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 Et præcepit eis ne quid tollerent in via, nisi virgam tantum: non peram, non panem, neque in zona æs,
8 Y les mandó que no llevasen nada para el camino, sino solamente báculo; no alforja, ni pan, ni dinero en la bolsa;
8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
9 sed calceatos sandaliis, et ne induerentur duabus tunicis.
9 Mas que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas.
9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10 Et dicebat eis: Quocumque introieritis in domum, illic manete donec exeatis inde:
10 Y les decía: Donde quiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de allí.
10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 et quicumque non receperint vos, nec audierint vos, exeuntes inde, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis.
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.
11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12 Et exeuntes prædicabant ut pœnitentiam agerent:
12 Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen.
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
13 et dæmonia multa ejiciebant, et ungebant oleo multos ægros, et sanabant.
13 Y echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite á muchos enfermos, y sanaban.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
14 Et audivit rex Herodes (manifestum enim factum est nomen ejus), et dicebat: Quia Joannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis: et propterea virtutes operantur in illo.
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.
14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
15 Alii autem dicebant: Quia Elias est; alii vero dicebant: Quia propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis.
15 Otros decían: Elías es. Y otros decían: Profeta es, ó alguno de los profetas.
15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
16 Quo audito Herodes ait: Quem ego decollavi Joannem, hic a mortuis resurrexit.
16 Y oyéndo[lo] Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan el que yo degollé: él ha resucitado de los muertos.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
17 Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam.
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.
17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18 Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi: Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui.
18 Porque Juan decía á Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.
18 For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Herodias autem insidiabatur illi: et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat.
19 Mas Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía:
19 Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
20 Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum: et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat.
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.
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
21 Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui cœnam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilææ:
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;
21 Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
22 cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellæ: Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi:
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.
22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 et juravit illi: Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei.
23 Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidieres te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.
23 He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24 Quæ cum exisset, dixit matri suæ: Quid petam? At illa dixit: Caput Joannis Baptistæ.
24 Y saliendo ella, dijo á su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella dijo: La cabeza de Juan Bautista.
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
25 Cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem, petivit dicens: Volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.
25 Entonces ella entró prestamente al rey, y pidió, diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan Bautista.
25 She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
26 Et contristatus est rex: propter jusjurandum, et propter simul discumbentes, noluit eam contristare:
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.
26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
27 sed misso spiculatore præcepit afferri caput ejus in disco. Et decollavit eum in carcere,
27 Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;
27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 et attulit caput ejus in disco: et dedit illud puellæ, et puella dedit matri suæ.
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.
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
29 Quo audito, discipuli ejus venerunt, et tulerunt corpus ejus: et posuerunt illud in monumento.
29 Y oyéndo[lo] sus discípulos, vinieron y tomaron su cuerpo, y le pusieron en un sepulcro.
29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30 Et convenientes Apostoli ad Jesum, renuntiaverunt ei omnia quæ egerant, et docuerant.
30 Y los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado.
30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 Et ait illis: Venite seorsum in desertum locum, et requiescite pusillum. Erant enim qui veniebant et redibant multi: et nec spatium manducandi habebant.
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.
31 He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Et ascendentes in navim, abierunt in desertum locum seorsum.
32 Y se fueron en un barco al lugar desierto aparte.
32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33 Et viderunt eos abeuntes, et cognoverunt multi: et pedestres de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc, et prævenerunt eos.
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.
33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
34 Et exiens vidit turbam multam Jesus: et misertus est super eos, quia erant sicut oves non habentes pastorem, et cœpit docere multa.
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.
34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Et cum jam hora multa fieret, accesserunt discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus hic, et jam hora præteriit:
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;
35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
36 dimitte illos, ut euntes in proximas villas et vicos, emant sibi cibos, quos manducent.
36 Envíalos para que vayan á los cortijos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren para sí pan; porque no tienen qué comer.
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37 Et respondens ait illis: Date illis vos manducare. Et dixerunt ei: Euntes emamus ducentis denariis panes, et dabimus illis manducare.
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?
37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 Et dicit eis: Quot panes habetis? ite, et videte. Et cum cognovissent, dicunt: Quinque, et duos pisces.
38 Y él les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id, y vedlo. Y sabiéndolo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.
38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Et præcepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fœnum.
39 Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar á todos por partidas sobre la hierba verde.
39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Et discubuerunt in partes per centenos et quinquagenos.
40 Y se recostaron por partidas, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta.
40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus pisces, intuens in cælum, benedixit, et fregit panes, et dedit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante eos: et duos pisces divisit omnibus.
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.
41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt.
42 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron.
42 They all ate and were filled.
43 Et sustulerunt reliquias, fragmentorum duodecim cophinos plenos, et de piscibus.
43 Y alzaron de los pedazos doce cofines llenos, y de los peces.
43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44 Erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque millia virorum.
44 Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.
44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Et statim coëgit discipulos suos ascendere navim, ut præcederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam, dum ipse dimitteret populum.
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.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
46 Et cum dimisisset eos, abiit in montem orare.
46 Y después que los hubo despedido, se fué al monte á orar.
46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 Et cum sero esset, erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra.
47 Y como fué la tarde, el barco estaba en medio de la mar, y él solo en tierra.
47 When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 Et videns eos laborantes in remigando (erat enim ventus contrarius eis) et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans supra mare: et volebat præterire eos.
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.
48 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
49 At illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem supra mare, putaverunt phantasma esse, et exclamaverunt.
49 Y viéndole ellos, que andaba sobre la mar, pensaron que era fantasma, y dieron voces;
49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 Omnes enim viderunt eum, et conturbati sunt. Et statim locutus est cum eis, et dixit eis: Confidite, ego sum: nolite timere.
50 Porque todos le veían, y se turbaron. Mas luego habló con ellos, y les dijo: Alentaos; yo soy, no temáis.
50 for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
51 Et ascendit ad illos in navim, et cessavit ventus. Et plus magis intra se stupebant:
51 Y subió á ellos en el barco, y calmó el viento: y ellos en gran manera estaban fuera de sí, y se maravillaban:
51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
52 non enim intellexerunt de panibus: erat enim cor eorum obcæcatum.
52 Porque aun no habían considerado lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban ofuscados sus corazones.
52 for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesareth, et applicuerunt.
53 Y cuando estuvieron de la otra parte, vinieron á tierra de Genezaret, y tomaron puerto.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum:
54 Y saliendo ellos del barco, luego le conocieron.
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 et percurrentes universam regionem illam, cœperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse.
55 Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron á traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, á donde oían que estaba.
55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
56 Et quocumque introibat, in vicos, vel in villas aut civitates, in plateis ponebant infirmos, et deprecabantur eum, ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent, et quotquot tangebant eum, salvi fiebant.
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.
56 Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

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).

  4. Quotes verse 6:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XLVIII)

    "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.
