When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”

But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 P orque cualquiera que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y cualquiera que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, éste la salvará.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

25 P orque ¿qué aprovecha al hombre, si granjeare todo el mundo, y sé pierda él á sí mismo, ó corra peligro de sí?

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.

But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

54 Y viendo esto sus discípulos Jacobo y Juan, dijeron: Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos que descienda fuego del cielo, y los consuma, como hizo Elías?

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”

55 E ntonces volviéndose él, los reprendió, diciendo: Vosotros no sabéis de qué espíritu sois;

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
