1 A conteció después, que Jesús iba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, predicando y anunciando el evangelio del reino de Dios, y los doce con él,

Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him,

2 y algunas mujeres que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malos y de enfermedades: María, que se llamaba Magdalena, de la que habían salido siete demonios,

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3 J uana, mujer de Chuza intendente de Herodes, y Susana, y otras muchas que le servían de sus bienes. Parábola del sembrador (Mt. 13. 1-15, 18-23; Mr. 4. 1-20)

and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means. Parable of the Sower

4 J untándose una gran multitud, y los que de cada ciudad venían a él, les dijo por parábola:

When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:

5 E l sembrador salió a sembrar su semilla; y mientras sembraba, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fue hollada, y las aves del cielo la comieron.

“The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

6 O tra parte cayó sobre la piedra; y nacida, se secó, porque no tenía humedad.

Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

7 O tra parte cayó entre espinos, y los espinos que nacieron juntamente con ella, la ahogaron.

Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

8 Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y nació y llevó fruto a ciento por uno. Hablando estas cosas, decía a gran voz: El que tiene oídos para oír, oiga.

Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He would call out, “ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué significa esta parábola?

His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

10 Y él dijo: A vosotros os es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; pero a los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan.

And He said, “ To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

11 E sta es, pues, la parábola: La semilla es la palabra de Dios.

“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.

12 Y los de junto al camino son los que oyen, y luego viene el diablo y quita de su corazón la palabra, para que no crean y se salven.

Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.

13 L os de sobre la piedra son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; pero éstos no tienen raíces; creen por algún tiempo, y en el tiempo de la prueba se apartan.

Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 L a que cayó entre espinos, éstos son los que oyen, pero yéndose, son ahogados por los afanes y las riquezas y los placeres de la vida, y no llevan fruto.

The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

15 M as la que cayó en buena tierra, éstos son los que con corazón bueno y recto retienen la palabra oída, y dan fruto con perseverancia. Nada oculto que no haya de ser manifestado (Mr. 4. 21-25)

But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. Parable of the Lamp

16 N adie que enciende una luz la cubre con una vasija, ni la pone debajo de la cama, sino que la pone en un candelero para que los que entran vean la luz.

“Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

17 P orque nada hay oculto, que no haya de ser manifestado; ni escondido, que no haya de ser conocido, y de salir a luz.

For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

18 M irad, pues, cómo oís; porque a todo el que tiene, se le dará; y a todo el que no tiene, aun lo que piensa tener se le quitará. La madre y los hermanos de Jesús (Mt. 12. 46-50; Mr. 3. 31-35)

So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”

19 E ntonces su madre y sus hermanos vinieron a él; pero no podían llegar hasta él por causa de la multitud.

And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

20 Y se le avisó, diciendo: Tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera y quieren verte.

And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.”

21 É l entonces respondiendo, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la hacen. Jesús calma la tempestad (Mt. 8. 23-27; Mr. 4. 35-41)

But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Jesus Stills the Sea

22 A conteció un día, que entró en una barca con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos al otro lado del lago. Y partieron.

Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.

23 P ero mientras navegaban, él se durmió. Y se desencadenó una tempestad de viento en el lago; y se anegaban y peligraban.

But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.

24 Y vinieron a él y le despertaron, diciendo:!! Maestro, Maestro, que perecemos! Despertando él, reprendió al viento y a las olas; y cesaron, y se hizo bonanza.

They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “ Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.

25 Y les dijo: ¿Dónde está vuestra fe? Y atemorizados, se maravillaban, y se decían unos a otros: ¿Quién es éste, que aun a los vientos y a las aguas manda, y le obedecen? El endemoniado gadareno (Mt. 8. 28-34; Mr. 5. 1-20)

And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?” The Demoniac Cured

26 Y arribaron a la tierra de los gadarenos, que está en la ribera opuesta a Galilea.

Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27 A l llegar él a tierra, vino a su encuentro un hombre de la ciudad, endemoniado desde hacía mucho tiempo; y no vestía ropa, ni moraba en casa, sino en los sepulcros.

And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.

28 E ste, al ver a Jesús, lanzó un gran grito, y postrándose a sus pies exclamó a gran voz: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te ruego que no me atormentes.

Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “ What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.”

29 ( Porque mandaba al espíritu inmundo que saliese del hombre, pues hacía mucho tiempo que se había apoderado de él; y le ataban con cadenas y grillos, pero rompiendo las cadenas, era impelido por el demonio a los desiertos.)

For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

30 Y le preguntó Jesús, diciendo: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y él dijo: Legión. Porque muchos demonios habían entrado en él.

And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “ Legion”; for many demons had entered him.

31 Y le rogaban que no los mandase ir al abismo.

They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

32 H abía allí un hato de muchos cerdos que pacían en el monte; y le rogaron que los dejase entrar en ellos; y les dio permiso.

Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission.

33 Y los demonios, salidos del hombre, entraron en los cerdos; y el hato se precipitó por un despeñadero al lago, y se ahogó.

And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34 Y los que apacentaban los cerdos, cuando vieron lo que había acontecido, huyeron, y yendo dieron aviso en la ciudad y por los campos.

When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and out in the country.

35 Y salieron a ver lo que había sucedido; y vinieron a Jesús, y hallaron al hombre de quien habían salido los demonios, sentado a los pies de Jesús, vestido, y en su cabal juicio; y tuvieron miedo.

The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

36 Y los que lo habían visto, les contaron cómo había sido salvado el endemoniado.

Those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well.

37 E ntonces toda la multitud de la región alrededor de los gadarenos le rogó que se marchase de ellos, pues tenían gran temor. Y Jesús, entrando en la barca, se volvió.

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.

38 Y el hombre de quien habían salido los demonios le rogaba que le dejase estar con él; pero Jesús le despidió, diciendo:

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying,

39 V uélvete a tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas ha hecho Dios contigo. Y él se fue, publicando por toda la ciudad cuán grandes cosas había hecho Jesús con él. La hija de Jairo, y la mujer que tocó el manto de Jesús (Mt. 9. 18-26; Mr. 5. 21-43)

“Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. Miracles of Healing

40 C uando volvió Jesús, le recibió la multitud con gozo; porque todos le esperaban.

And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41 E ntonces vino un varón llamado Jairo, que era principal de la sinagoga, y postrándose a los pies de Jesús, le rogaba que entrase en su casa;

And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

42 p orque tenía una hija única, como de doce años, que se estaba muriendo. Y mientras iba, la multitud le oprimía.

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.

43 P ero una mujer que padecía de flujo de sangre desde hacía doce años, y que había gastado en médicos todo cuanto tenía, y por ninguno había podido ser curada,

And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

44 s e le acercó por detrás y tocó el borde de su manto; y al instante se detuvo el flujo de su sangre.

came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.

45 E ntonces Jesús dijo: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado? Y negando todos, dijo Pedro y los que con él estaban: Maestro, la multitud te aprieta y oprime, y dices: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado?

And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “ Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.”

46 P ero Jesús dijo: Alguien me ha tocado; porque yo he conocido que ha salido poder de mí.

But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me.”

47 E ntonces, cuando la mujer vio que no había quedado oculta, vino temblando, y postrándose a sus pies, le declaró delante de todo el pueblo por qué causa le había tocado, y cómo al instante había sido sanada.

When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

48 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha salvado; ve en paz.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

49 E staba hablando aún, cuando vino uno de casa del principal de la sinagoga a decirle: Tu hija ha muerto; no molestes más al Maestro.

While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.”

50 O yéndolo Jesús, le respondió: No temas; cree solamente, y será salva.

But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “ Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well.”

51 E ntrando en la casa, no dejó entrar a nadie consigo, sino a Pedro, a Jacobo, a Juan, y al padre y a la madre de la niña.

When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

52 Y lloraban todos y hacían lamentación por ella. Pero él dijo: No lloréis; no está muerta, sino que duerme.

Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”

53 Y se burlaban de él, sabiendo que estaba muerta.

And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

54 M as él, tomándola de la mano, clamó diciendo: Muchacha, levántate.

He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!”

55 E ntonces su espíritu volvió, e inmediatamente se levantó; y él mandó que se le diese de comer.

And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.

56 Y sus padres estaban atónitos; pero Jesús les mandó que a nadie dijesen lo que había sucedido.
