YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

1 PASADAS estas cosas, fuése Jesús de la otra parte de la mar de Galilea, [que es] de Tiberias.

2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

2 Y seguíale grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.

3 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

3 Y subió Jesús á un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.

4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los Judíos.

5 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, 'Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' —

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 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

6 Mas esto decía para probarle; porque él sabía lo que había de hacer.

7 Philip answered him, 'Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

7 Respondióle Felipe: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarán, para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco.

8 one of his disciples — Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter — saith to him,

8 Dícele uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:

9 'There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these — what are they to so many?'

9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pececillos; ¿mas qué es esto entre tantos?

10 And Jesus said, 'Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

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 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

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 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, 'Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'

12 Y como fueron saciados, dijo á sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, porque no se pierda nada.

13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

13 Cogieron pues, é hinchieron doce cestas de pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada, que sobraron á los que habían comido.

14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said — 'This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'

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 Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

15 Y entendiendo Jesús que habían de venir para arrebatarle, y hacerle rey, volvió á retirarse al monte, él solo.

16 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

16 Y como se hizo tarde, descendieron sus discípulos á la mar;

17 and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto 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 the sea also — a great wind blowing — was being raised,

18 Y levantábase la mar con un gran viento que soplaba.

19 having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

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 saith to them, 'I am [he], be not afraid;'

20 Mas él les dijo: Yo soy; no tengáis miedo.

21 they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

21 Ellos entonces gustaron recibirle en el barco: y luego el barco llegó á la tierra donde iban.

22 On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one — that into which his disciples entered — and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away 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 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

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 when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

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 having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

25 Y hallándole de la otra parte de la mar, dijéronle: Rabbí, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?

26 Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

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 work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal — [even] God.'

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 They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

28 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué haremos para que obremos las obras de Dios?

29 Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

29 Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Esta es la obra de Dios, que creáis en el que él ha enviado.

30 They said therefore to him, 'What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

30 Dijéronle entonces: ¿Qué señal pues haces tú, para que veamos, y te creamos? ¿Qué obras?

31 our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

31 Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: Pan del cielo les dió á comer.

32 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the 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 bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

33 Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que descendió del cielo y da vida al mundo.

34 They said, therefore, unto him, 'Sir, always give us this bread.'

34 Y dijéronle: Señor, danos siempre este pan.

35 And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time;

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 said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

36 Mas os he dicho, que aunque me habéis visto, no creéis.

37 all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

37 Todo lo que el Padre me da, vendrá á mí; y al que á mí viene, no [le] hecho fuera.

38 because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who 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 will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

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 will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

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 Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, 'I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

41 Murmuraban entonces de él los Judíos, porque había dicho: Yo soy el pan que descendí del cielo.

42 and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one — Out of the heaven I have come down?'

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 Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;

43 Y Jesús respondió, y díjoles: No murmuréis entre vosotros.

44 no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

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 having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to 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 any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

46 No que alguno haya visto al Padre, sino aquel que vino de Dios, éste ha visto al Padre.

47 'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

47 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que cree en mí, tiene vida eterna.

48 I am the bread of the life;

48 Yo soy el pan de vida.

49 your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

49 Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos.

50 this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que el que de él comiere, no muera.

51 'I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

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 The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'

52 Entonces los Judíos contendían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Cómo puede éste darnos su carne á comer?

53 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

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 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna: y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.

55 for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.

56 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, en mí permanece, y yo en él.

57 'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of 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 bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live — to the age.'

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 things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

59 Estas cosas dijo en la sinagoga, enseñando en Capernaum.

60 many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

60 Y muchos de sus discípulos oyéndo[lo], dijeron: Dura es esta palabra: ¿quién la puede oir?

61 And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Doth this stumble you?

61 Y sabiendo Jesús en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, díjoles: ¿Esto os escandaliza?

62 if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

62 ¿Pues [qué], si viereis al Hijo del hombre que sube donde estaba primero?

63 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

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 there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

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 said, 'Because of this I have said to you — No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from 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 this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

66 Desde esto, muchos de sus discípulos volvieron atrás, y ya no andaban con él.

67 Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, 'Do ye also wish to go away?'

67 Dijo entonces Jesús á los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?

68 Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, 'Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

68 Y respondióle Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿á quién iremos? tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.

69 and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

69 Y nosotros creemos y conocemos que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios viviente.

70 Jesus answered them, 'Did not I choose you — the twelve? and of you — one is a devil.

70 Jesús le respondió: ¿No he escogido yo á vosotros doce, y uno de vosotros es diablo?

71 And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being 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.

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).

Commentary 6:9 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXXX)
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.
