Juan 6
1 Después de esto, Jesús se marchó al otro lado del Mar de Galilea (conocido también como el Mar de Tiberias).
After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).
2 Una gran multitud le seguía, porque habían visto sus milagros de sanación.
A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing.
3 Jesús subió a una colina y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.
Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
4 Se acercaba la fecha de la fiesta judía de la Pascua.
The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
5 Cuando Jesús levantó la vista y vio una gran multitud que venía hacia él, le preguntó a Felipe: “¿Dónde podremos conseguir suficiente pan para alimentar a todas estas personas?”
And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?"
6 Pero Jesús preguntaba solamente para ver cómo respondía Felipe, porque él ya sabía lo que iba a hacer.
He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.
7 “Doscientas monedas de plata no alcanzarían para comprar suficiente pan y darle a todos aunque fuera un poco”, respondió Felipe.
"Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."
8 Uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro, dijo en voz alta:
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9 “Hay un niño aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y un par de peces, pero ¿de qué sirve eso si hay tantas personas?”
"There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"
10 “Pidan a todos que se sienten”, dijo Jesús. Allí había mucha hierba, así que todos se sentaron, y los hombres que estaban allí sumaban como cinco mil.
"Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
11 Jesús tomó el pan, dio gracias, y lo repartió entre las personas que estaban ahí sentadas. Luego hizo lo mismo con los peces, asegurándose de que todos recibieran tanto como querían.
Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
12 Cuando todos estuvieron saciados, dijo a sus discípulos: “Recojan lo que sobró para que nada se desperdicie”.
When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost."
13 Entonces ellos recogieron todo y llenaron doce canastas con los trozos de los cinco panes que las personas habían comido.
Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets.
14 Cuando la gente vio este milagro, dijeron: “De verdad este es el profeta que iba a venir al mundo”.
Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world."
15 Jesús se dio cuenta de que ellos estaban a punto de obligarlo a convertirse en su rey, así que se fue de allí y subió a la montaña para estar solo.
Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.
16 Cuando llegó la tarde, sus discípulos descendieron al mar,
When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake.
17 se subieron a una barca, y comenzaron a cruzar rumbo a Capernaúm. Para ese momento, ya era de noche y Jesús no los había alcanzado.
There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
18 Comenzó a soplar un fuerte viento y el mar se enfureció.
The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing.
19 Cuando habían remado tres o cuatro millas, vieron a Jesús caminando sobre el mar, dirigiéndose hacia la barca. Estaban muy asustados.
When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat.
20 “¡No tengan miedo!” les dijo. “Soy yo”.
They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."
21 Entonces ellos se alegraron en recibirlo en la barca e inmediatamente llegaron a la orilla hacia la cual se dirigían.
Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point to which they were going.
22 Al día siguiente, la multitud que se había quedado al otro lado del mar se dio cuenta de que quedaba solamente una barca allí y que Jesús no había subido a la barca con sus discípulos, sino que ellos se habían marchado sin él.
Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
23 Luego llegaron desde Tiberias otras barcas, cerca del lugar donde ellos habían comido el pan después de que el Señor lo bendijo.
Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 Cuando la multitud se dio cuenta que ni Jesús ni sus discípulos estaban ahí, se subieron a las barcas y se fueron a Capernaúm en busca de Jesús.
When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25 Cuando lo encontraron al otro lado del mar, le preguntaron, “Maestro, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?”
So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
26 “Les digo la verdad”, respondió Jesús, “ustedes me buscan porque comieron todo el pan que quisieron, no porque hayan entendido los milagros.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.
27 No se preocupen por la comida que perece, sino concéntrense en la comida que permanece, la de la vida eterna, la cual les dará el Hijo del hombre, porque Dios el Padre ha colocado su sello de aprobación en él”. (aiōnios g166)
Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." (aiōnios g166)
28 Entonces ellos le preguntaron: “¿Qué tenemos que hacer para hacer la voluntad de Dios?”
"What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
29 Jesús respondió: “Lo que Dios quiere que hagan es que crean en aquél a quien Él envió”.
"This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."
30 “¿Qué milagro harás para que lo veamos y podamos creerte? ¿Qué puedes hacer?” le preguntaron.
"What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you do?
31 “Nuestros padres comieron maná en el desierto en cumplimiento de la Escritura que dice: ‘Él les dio a comer pan del cielo’”.
Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
32 “Les diré la verdad: No fue Moisés quien les dio pan del cielo”, respondió Jesús. “Es mi Padre quien les da el verdadero pan del cielo.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.
33 Porque el pan de Dios es el que viene del cielo y el que da vida al mundo”.
For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
34 “¡Señor, por favor danos de ese pan todo el tiempo!” dijeron.
"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
35 “Yo soy el pan de vida”, respondió Jesús. “Cualquiera que viene a mí nunca más tendrá hambre, y cualquiera que cree en mí nunca más tendrá sed.
"I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
36 Pero como ya les expliqué antes, ustedes me han visto, pero aún no creen en mí.
But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
37 Todos los que el Padre me entrega, vendrán a mí, y yo no rechazaré a ninguno de ellos.
Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
38 Porque yo no descendí del cielo para hacer mi voluntad sino la voluntad del que me envió.
For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
39 Lo que Él quiere es que yo no deje perder a ninguno de los que me ha dado, sino que los levante en el día final.
And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.
40 Lo que mi Padre quiere es que cualquiera que vea al Hijo y crea en Él tenga vida eterna, y yo lo levantaré en el día final”. (aiōnios g166)
For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day." (aiōnios g166)
41 Entonces los judíos comenzaron a murmurar acerca de él porque había dicho “yo soy el pan que descendió del cielo”.
Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
42 Ellos dijeron: “¿No es este Jesús, el hijo de José? Nosotros conocemos a su padre y a su madre. ¿Cómo es que ahora puede decirnos ‘yo descendí del cielo’?”
They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"
43 “Dejen de murmurar unos con otros”, dijo Jesús.
"Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;
44 “Ninguno viene a mí a menos que lo atraiga el Padre que me envió, y yo lo levantaré en el día final.
"no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.
45 Tal como está escrito por los profetas en las Escrituras: ‘Todos serán instruidos por Dios’. Todo aquél que escucha y aprende del Padre, viene a mí.
It stands written in the Prophets, 'And they shall all of them be taught by God'. Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.
46 Ninguno ha visto a Dios, excepto el que es de Dios. Ese ha visto al Padre.
No one has ever seen the Father--except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
48 Yo soy el pan de vida.
I am the bread of Life.
49 Sus padres comieron maná en el desierto y aun así murieron.
Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.
50 Pero este es el pan que viene del cielo, y cualquiera que lo coma no morirá jamás.
Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.
51 Yo soy el pan vivo que bajó del cielo, y cualquiera que coma de este pan, vivirá para siempre. Este pan es mi carne, la cual daré para que el mundo viva”. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world." (aiōn g165)
52 Entonces los judíos comenzaron a pelear acaloradamente entre ellos. “¿Cómo puede este hombre darnos a comer su carne?” preguntaban.
This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesús les dijo: “Les diré la verdad, a menos que coman la carne del Hijo del hombre y beban su sangre, no podrán vivir realmente.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
54 Aquellos que comen mi carne y beben mi sangre, tienen vida eterna y yo los levantaré en el día final. (aiōnios g166)
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Aquellos que comen mi carne y beben mi sangre permanecen en mí y yo en ellos.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.
57 Tal como me envió el Padre viviente y yo vivo por el Padre, de igual modo, todo aquel que se alimenta de mi vivirá por mí.
As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
58 Este es el pan que descendió del cielo, no el que comieron sus padres y murieron. Cualquiera que come de este pan vivirá para siempre”. (aiōn g165)
This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever." (aiōn g165)
59 Jesús explicó esto mientras enseñaba en una sinagoga en Capernaúm.
Jesus said all this in the synagogue while teaching at Capernaum.
60 Muchos de sus discípulos cuando lo escucharon dijeron: “¡Esto es algo difícil de aceptar! ¿Quién puede consentir con esto?”
Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?"
61 Jesús vio que sus discípulos estaban murmurando sobre esto, así que les preguntó: “¿Están ofendidos por esto?
But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
62 ¿Qué tal si tuvieran que ver al Hijo del hombre ascender a donde estaba antes?
"Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?
63 El Espíritu da vida; el cuerpo físico no sirve para nada. ¡Las palabras que les he dicho son Espíritu y son vida!
It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
64 Sin embargo, hay algunos entre ustedes que no creen en mí”. (Jesús sabía, desde el mismo comienzo, quién creía en él y quién lo traicionaría).
But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65 Jesús añadió: “Esta es la razón por la que les dije que nadie puede venir a mí a menos que le sea posible por parte del Padre”.
So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."
66 A partir de ese momento, muchos de los discípulos de Jesús le dieron la espalda y ya no le seguían.
Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.
67 Entonces Jesús le preguntó a los doce discípulos: “¿Y ustedes? ¿Se irán también?”
Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
68 Simón Pedro respondió, “Señor, ¿a quién seguiremos? Tú eres el único que tiene palabras de vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
"Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
69 Nosotros creemos en ti y estamos convencidos de que eres el Santo de Dios”.
And we have come to believe and know that you are indeed the Holy One of God."
70 Jesús respondió: “¿Acaso no los escogí yo a ustedes, los doce discípulos? Sin embargo, uno de ustedes es un demonio”,
"Did not I choose you--the Twelve?" said Jesus, "and even of you one is a devil."
71 (Jesús se estaba refiriendo a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote. Él era el discípulo que traicionaría a Jesús).
He alluded to Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot. For he it was who, though one of the Twelve, was afterwards to betray Him.
