1 E n aquellos días, cuando había de nuevo una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer, Jesús llamó a Sus discípulos y les dijo:

In those days when an immense crowd had gathered and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and told them,

2 “ Tengo compasión de la multitud porque ya hace tres días que están junto a Mí y no tienen qué comer;

I have pity and sympathy for the people and My heart goes out to them, for they have been with Me now three days and have nothing to eat;

3 y si los despido sin comer a sus casas, desfallecerán en el camino, pues algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.”

And if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will be feeble through exhaustion and faint along the road; and some of them have come a long way.

4 S us discípulos Le respondieron: “¿Dónde podrá alguien encontrar lo suficiente para saciar de pan a éstos aquí en el desierto?”

And His disciples replied to Him, How can anyone fill and satisfy with loaves of bread here in desolate and uninhabited region?

5 “ ¿Cuántos panes tienen?” les preguntó Jesús. Ellos respondieron: “Siete.”

And He asked them, How many loaves have you? They said, Seven.

6 E ntonces mandó a la multitud que se recostara en el suelo; y tomando los siete panes, después de dar gracias, los partió y los iba dando a Sus discípulos para que los pusieran delante de la gente; y ellos los sirvieron a la multitud.

And He commanded the multitude to recline upon the ground, and He took the seven loaves and, having given thanks, He broke them and kept on giving them to His disciples to put before, and they placed them before the crowd.

7 T ambién tenían unos pocos pececillos; y después de bendecirlos, mandó que éstos también los sirvieran.

And they had a few small fish; and when He had praised God and given thanks and asked Him to bless them, He ordered that these also should be set before.

8 T odos comieron y se saciaron; y recogieron de lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas.

And they ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven '> large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

9 L os que comieron eran unos 4, 000. Jesús los despidió,

And there were about 4, 000 people. And He dismissed them,

10 y subiendo enseguida a la barca con Sus discípulos, se fue a la región de Dalmanuta. Los Fariseos Buscan Señal

And at once He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha (or Magdala).

11 E ntonces salieron los Fariseos y comenzaron a discutir con El, buscando de El una señal (un milagro) del cielo para poner a prueba a Jesús.

The Pharisees came and began to argue with and question Him, demanding from Him a sign (an attesting miracle from heaven) to test Him.

12 S uspirando profundamente en Su espíritu, dijo: “¿Por qué pide señal esta generación? En verdad les digo que no se le dará señal a esta generación.”

And He groaned and sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation demand a sign? Positively I say to you, no sign shall be given this generation.

13 Y dejándolos, se embarcó otra vez y se fue al otro lado del lago. La Levadura de los Fariseos

And He went away and left them and, getting into the boat again, He departed to the other side.

14 L os discípulos se habían olvidado de tomar panes, y no tenían consigo en la barca sino sólo un pan.

Now they had '> completely] forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

15 J esús les encargaba diciendo: “¡Tengan cuidado! Cuídense de la levadura de los Fariseos y de la levadura de Herodes.”

And Jesus charged and admonished them, saying, Look out; keep on your guard and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod and the Herodians.

16 Y ellos discutían entre sí que no tenían panes.

And they discussed it and reasoned with one another, It is because we have no bread.

17 D ándose cuenta Jesús, les dijo: “¿Por qué discuten que no tienen panes? ¿Aún no comprenden ni entienden? ¿Tienen el corazón endurecido ?

And being aware, Jesus said to them, Why are you reasoning and saying it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet discern or understand? Are your hearts in hardness?

18 T eniendo ojos, ¿no ven ? Y teniendo oidos, ¿no oyen ? ¿No recuerdan

Having eyes, do you not see, and having ears, do you not hear and perceive and understand the sense of what is said? And do you not remember?

19 c uando partí los cinco panes entre los cinco mil ? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogieron?” “Doce,” Le respondieron.

When I broke the five loaves for the 5, 000, how many '> small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.

20 “ Y cuando partí los siete panes entre los cuatro mil, ¿cuántas canastas llenas de los pedazos recogieron?” “Siete,” Le dijeron.

And the seven loaves for the 4, 000, how many '> large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven.

21 E ntonces les dijo: “¿Aún no entienden ?” El Ciego de Betsaida

And He kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?

22 L legaron a Betsaida, y trajeron a Jesús un ciego y Le rogaron que lo tocara.

And they came to Bethsaida. And brought to Him a blind man and begged Him to touch him.

23 T omando al ciego de la mano, lo sacó fuera de la aldea; y después de escupir en sus ojos y de poner las manos sobre él, le preguntó: “¿Ves algo?”

And He caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you '> possibly] see anything?

24 Y levantando la vista, dijo: “Veo a los hombres, pero los veo como árboles que caminan.”

And he looked up and said, I see people, but like trees, walking.

25 E ntonces Jesús puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y él miró fijamente y fue restaurado; y veía todo con claridad.

Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently, and he was restored and saw everything distinctly '> at a distance].

26 Y lo envió a su casa diciendo: “Ni aun en la aldea entres.” La Confesión de Pedro

And He sent him away to his house, telling, Do not enter the village or tell anyone there.

27 J esús salió con Sus discípulos a las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo; y en el camino preguntó a Sus discípulos: “¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy Yo?”

And Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am?

28 L e respondieron: “ Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; pero otros, uno de los profetas.”

And they answered, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.

29 E l les preguntó de nuevo: “Pero ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy Yo?” “Tú eres el Cristo (el Mesías),” Le respondió Pedro.

And He asked them, But who do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

30 Y Jesús les advirtió severamente que no hablaran de El a nadie. Jesús Anuncia Su Muerte y Resurrección

And He charged them sharply to tell no one about Him.

31 J esús comenzó a enseñarles que el Hijo del Hombre debía padecer muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por los ancianos, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y después de tres días resucitar.

And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must of necessity suffer many things and be tested and disapproved and rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again '> from death].

32 Y les decía estas palabras claramente. Entonces Pedro Lo llevó aparte y comenzó a reprender a Jesús.

And He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him by the hand and led Him aside and then began to rebuke Him.

33 P ero El volviéndose y mirando a Sus discípulos, reprendió a Pedro y le dijo: “¡Quítate de delante de Mí, Satanás!, porque no tienes en mente las cosas de Dios, sino las de los hombres.” Condiciones para Seguir a Jesús

But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men.

34 L lamando Jesús a la multitud y a Sus discípulos, les dijo: “Si alguien quiere venir conmigo, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz, y sígame.

And Jesus called the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself '> lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and '> joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me.

35 P orque el que quiera salvar su vida (su alma), la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por causa de Mí y del evangelio (de las buenas nuevas), la salvará.

For whoever wants to save his '> higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it '> lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it '> higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

36 O , ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero y perder su alma?

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life '> in the eternal kingdom of God]?

37 O , ¿qué dará un hombre a cambio de su alma?

For what can a man give as an exchange ( a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his life '> in the eternal kingdom of God]?

38 P orque cualquiera que se avergüence de Mí y de Mis palabras en esta generación adúltera y pecadora, el Hijo del Hombre también se avergonzará de él, cuando venga en la gloria de Su Padre con los santos ángeles.”

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous (unfaithful) and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory (splendor and majesty) of His Father with the holy angels.
