1 J esus went from the house of Jairus and came to His home town. His followers came after Him.

Salió Jesús de allí y vino a su tierra, y le seguían sus discípulos.

2 O n the Day of Rest He began to teach in the Jewish place of worship. Many people heard Him. They were surprised and wondered, saying, “Where did this Man get all this? What wisdom is this that has been given to Him? How can He do these powerful works with His hands?

Y llegado el día de reposo, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga; y muchos, oyéndole, se admiraban, y decían: ¿De dónde tiene éste estas cosas? ¿Y qué sabiduría es esta que le es dada, y estos milagros que por sus manos son hechos?

3 I s He not a Man Who makes things from wood? Is He not the Son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Do not His sisters live here with us?” The people were ashamed of Him and turned away from Him.

¿No es éste el carpintero, hijo de María, hermano de Jacobo, de José, de Judas y de Simón? ¿No están también aquí con nosotros sus hermanas? Y se escandalizaban de él.

4 J esus said to them, “One who speaks for God is respected everywhere but in his own country and among his own family and in his own house.”

Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta sin honra sino en su propia tierra, y entre sus parientes, y en su casa.

5 S o Jesus could do no powerful works there. But He did put His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, salvo que sanó a unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos.

6 H e wondered because they had no faith. But He went around to the towns and taught as He went. Jesus Calls Twelve Followers and Sends Them Out

Después llamó a los doce, y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos; y les dio autoridad sobre los espíritus inmundos.

9 T hey were to wear shoes. They were not to take two coats.

sino que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas.

10 H e said to them, “Whatever house you go into, stay there until you leave that town.

Y les dijo: Dondequiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de aquel lugar.

11 W hoever does not take you in or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet. By doing that, you will speak against them. For sure, I tell you, it will be easier for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day men stand before God and are judged than for that city.”

Y si en algún lugar no os recibieren ni os oyeren, salid de allí, y sacudid el polvo que está debajo de vuestros pies, para testimonio a ellos. De cierto os digo que en el día del juicio, será más tolerable el castigo para los de Sodoma y Gomorra, que para aquella ciudad.

12 T hen they left. They preached that men should be sorry for their sins and turn from them.

Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen.

15 O ther people said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is one who speaks for God like one of the early preachers.”

Otros decían: Es Elías. Y otros decían: Es un profeta, o alguno de los profetas.

16 W hen Herod heard this, he said, “It is John the Baptist, whose head I cut off. He has been raised from the dead.”

Al oír esto Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan, el que yo decapité, que ha resucitado de los muertos.

17 F or Herod had sent men to take John and put him into prison. He did this because of his wife, Herodias. She had been the wife of his brother Philip.

Porque el mismo Herodes había enviado y prendido a Juan, y le había encadenado en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano; pues la había tomado por mujer.

18 J ohn the Baptist had said to Herod, “It is wrong for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Porque Juan decía a Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.

19 H erodias became angry with him. She wanted to have John the Baptist killed but she could not.

Pero Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía;

22 T he daughter of Herodias came in and danced before them. This made Herod and his friends happy. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”

entrando la hija de Herodías, danzó, y agradó a Herodes y a los que estaban con él a la mesa; y el rey dijo a la muchacha: Pídeme lo que quieras, y yo te lo daré.

23 T hen he made a promise to her, “Whatever you ask for, I will give it to you. I will give you even half of my nation.”

Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidas te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.

24 S he went to her mother and asked, “What should I ask for?” The mother answered, “I want the head of John the Baptist.”

Saliendo ella, dijo a su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella le dijo: La cabeza de Juan el Bautista.

25 A t once the girl went to Herod. She said, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a plate now.”

Entonces ella entró prontamente al rey, y pidió diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.

26 H erod was very sorry. He had to do it because of his promise and because of those who ate with him.

Y el rey se entristeció mucho; pero a causa del juramento, y de los que estaban con él a la mesa, no quiso desecharla.

27 A t once he sent one of his soldiers and told him to bring the head of John the Baptist. The soldier went to the prison and cut off John’s head.

Y en seguida el rey, enviando a uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída la cabeza de Juan.

El les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte a un lugar desierto, y descansad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, de manera que ni aun tenían tiempo para comer.

Y se fueron solos en una barca a un lugar desierto.

33 M any people saw them leave and knew who they were. People ran fast from all the cities and got there first.

Pero muchos los vieron ir, y le reconocieron; y muchos fueron allá a pie desde las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron a él.

Y salió Jesús y vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor; y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas.

Respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Ellos le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer?

38 H e said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have here? Go and see.” When they knew, they said, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”

El les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id y vedlo. Y al saberlo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.

39 T hen He told them to have all the people sit down together in groups on the green grass.

Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar a todos por grupos sobre la hierba verde.

40 T hey sat down in groups of fifty people and in groups of one hundred people.

Y se recostaron por grupos, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta.

41 J esus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to the followers to set before the people. He divided the two fish among them all.

Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y repartió los dos peces entre todos.

42 T hey all ate and were filled.

Y comieron todos, y se saciaron.

46 W hen they were all gone, He went up to the mountain to pray.

Y después que los hubo despedido, se fue al monte a orar;

47 I t was evening. The boat was half-way across the sea. Jesus was alone on the land.

y al venir la noche, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y él solo en tierra.

48 H e saw His followers were in trouble. The wind was against them. They were working very hard rowing the boat. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came to them walking on the sea. He would have gone past them.

Y viéndoles remar con gran fatiga, porque el viento les era contrario, cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche vino a ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería adelantárseles.

49 W hen the followers saw Him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit and cried out with fear.

Viéndole ellos andar sobre el mar, pensaron que era un fantasma, y gritaron;

50 F or they all saw Him and were afraid. At once Jesus talked to them. He said, “Take hope. It is I, do not be afraid.”

Y dondequiera que entraba, en aldeas, ciudades o campos, ponían en las calles a los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que les dejase tocar siquiera el borde de su manto; y todos los que le tocaban quedaban sanos.
