1 Poco después salió de aquella región y regresó con sus discípulos a su pueblo, Nazaret.2 Cuando llegó el día de reposo, Jesús fue a enseñar a la sinagoga. Y muchos que lo escucharon se quedaron boquiabiertos y se preguntaban: ―¿De dónde sacó este tanta sabiduría y el poder para hacer los milagros que hace?,3 pues es el carpintero, hijo de María, hermano de Jacobo, José, Judas y Simón. Y sus hermanas viven aquí mismo. Y estaban escandalizados.4 Pero Jesús les dijo: «Al profeta nunca lo aceptan en su propia tierra, ni entre sus parientes, ni en su propia casa».5 Debido a la incredulidad de la gente no pudo realizar ningún milagro allí, salvo poner las manos sobre unos pocos enfermos y sanarlos.6 Jesús estaba asombrado de la incredulidad de aquella gente. Y se fue a enseñar en las aldeas cercanas.7 Y llamó a los doce y los envió de dos en dos con poder para echar fuera demonios.8 Les ordenó que no llevaran nada con ellos, excepto un bastón. No debían llevar alimentos ni bolsa ni dinero;9 podían llevar sandalias, pero no una muda de ropa.10 «Cuando entren a una casa —les dijo—, quédense allí hasta que se vayan de ese lugar.11 Y si en alguna parte no los reciben ni les prestan atención, sacúdanse el polvo de los pies y váyanse. Con eso les estarán haciendo una advertencia».12 Los discípulos salieron y fueron a predicarle a la gente para que se arrepintiera.13 Echaron fuera muchos demonios y sanaron a muchos enfermos ungiéndolos con aceite.14 La fama de Jesús llegó a oídos del rey Herodes. Este pensó que Jesús era Juan el Bautista que había resucitado con poderes extraordinarios.15 De hecho, algunos pensaban que Jesús era Elías; y otros, que era uno de los profetas.16 Pero Herodes reiteró: «Él es Juan, a quien yo decapité, que ha vuelto a la vida».17-18 Herodes había mandado arrestar a Juan porque este le decía que era ilegal que se casara con Herodías, la esposa de su hermano Felipe.19 Por eso mismo, Herodías odiaba a Juan y quería que lo mataran, pero no había podido conseguirlo.20 Y ya que Herodes respetaba a Juan porque lo consideraba un hombre justo y santo, lo había arrestado para ponerlo a salvo. Aunque cada vez que hablaba con Juan salía turbado, le gustaba escucharlo.21 Un día se le presentó a Herodías la oportunidad que buscaba. Era el cumpleaños de Herodes y este organizó un banquete para sus altos oficiales, los jefes del ejército y la gente importante de Galilea.22 En medio del banquete, la hija de Herodías danzó y gustó mucho a los presentes. ―Pídeme lo que quieras —le dijo el rey— y te lo concederé,23 aunque me pidas la mitad del reino. Esto se lo prometió bajo juramento.24 La chica salió y consultó a su madre: ―¿Qué debo pedir? Y la mamá le dijo: ―Pídele la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.25 La chica fue corriendo de inmediato a donde estaba el rey y le dijo: ―Quiero que me des ahora mismo, en una bandeja, la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.26 Al rey le dolió complacerla, pero no podía faltar a su palabra delante de los invitados.27 Por eso, en seguida envió a uno de sus guardias a que le trajera la cabeza de Juan. El soldado decapitó a Juan en la prisión,28 regresó con la cabeza en una bandeja y se la entregó a la chica y esta se la llevó a su madre.29 Cuando los discípulos de Juan se enteraron de lo sucedido, fueron en busca del cuerpo y lo enterraron.30 Los apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron lo que habían hecho y enseñado.31 Era tanto el gentío que entraba y salía que apenas les quedaba tiempo para comer. Por ello Jesús les dijo: ―Apartémonos del gentío para que puedan descansar.32 Partieron, pues, en una barca hacia un lugar desierto.33 Pero muchos que los vieron ir los reconocieron y de todos los poblados fueron por tierra hasta allá, y llegaron antes que ellos.34 Al bajar Jesús de la barca vio a la multitud, y se compadeció de ellos porque parecían ovejas sin pastor. Y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas.35 Ya avanzada la tarde, los discípulos le dijeron a Jesús: ―Este es un lugar desierto y se está haciendo tarde.36 Dile a esta gente que se vaya a los campos y pueblos vecinos a comprar comida.37 ―Aliméntenlos ustedes —fue la respuesta de Jesús. ―¿Y con qué? —preguntaron—. Costaría el salario de siete meses comprar comida para esta multitud.38 ―¿Cuántos panes tienen ustedes? —les preguntó—. Vayan a ver. Al poco rato regresaron con la noticia de que había cinco panes y dos pescados.39 Jesús les ordenó que hicieran que la multitud se sentara por grupos sobre la hierba verde.40 Y se acomodaron en grupos de cincuenta o cien personas.41 Jesús tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, mirando al cielo, los bendijo. Luego, partió los panes y los pescados y los fue dando a los discípulos para que los repartieran entre la multitud.42 Comieron todos hasta quedar saciados.43-44 Y aunque eran cinco mil hombres, sobraron doce cestas llenas de panes y pescados.45 Jesús hizo que los discípulos subieran a la barca y se fueran a Betsaida, donde él se les uniría cuando despidiera a la multitud.46 Después que todos se fueron, Jesús subió al monte a orar.47 Ya de noche, cuando los discípulos llegaban al centro del lago, Jesús vio, desde el lugar solitario en que estaba,48 que sus discípulos remaban con dificultad, porque tenían los vientos en contra. Como a las tres de la mañana, se acercó a ellos caminando sobre el agua y siguió como si tuviera intenciones de pasar de largo.49 Cuando los discípulos vieron que caminaba sobre el agua, gritaron de terror creyendo que era un fantasma,50 pues estaban muy espantados por lo que veían. Pero él en seguida les dijo: «Cálmense, soy yo, no tengan miedo».51 Cuando subió a la barca, el viento se calmó. Los discípulos quedaron boquiabiertos, maravillados.52 Todavía no entendían lo de los panes, pues tenían la mente ofuscada.53 Al llegar a Genesaret, al otro lado del lago, amarraron la barca54 y saltaron a tierra. La gente en seguida reconoció a Jesús.55 Él y sus discípulos recorrieron toda aquella región, y cuando oían que él estaba en algún lugar, allí le llevaban en camillas a los enfermos.56 Dondequiera que iba, ya fuera en los pueblos, en las ciudades o en los campos, ponían a los enfermos por donde él pasaba y le suplicaban que los dejara tocarle siquiera el borde de su manto. Los que lo tocaban, sanaban.

Marcos 6

English Standard Version

1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. (Mt 2:23; Mt 13:54; Lc 4:16; Lc 4:23)2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? (Mt 4:23; Mt 7:28; Mr 1:21; Lc 4:31; Lc 6:6; Lc 13:10; Hch 13:14)3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. (Mt 11:6; Mt 13:55; Mr 3:31; Lc 4:22; Jn 6:42)4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” (Jer 11:21; Jer 12:6; Lc 4:24; Jn 4:44; Jn 7:5)5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. (Gn 19:22; Mr 5:23; Mr 9:23)6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching. (Mt 8:10; Mt 9:35; Mt 11:1; Lc 8:1; Lc 13:22)7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. (Mt 10:1; Mt 10:5; Mt 10:9; Mr 3:13; Lc 9:1; Lc 9:3; Lc 10:4; Lc 22:35)8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.[1] (Hch 12:8)10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” (Neh 5:13; Mr 1:44; Hch 13:51; Hch 18:6)12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. (Mt 3:2; Mt 4:17; Mt 10:7; Lc 9:6)13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. (Mr 6:12; Stg 5:14)14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’[2] name had become known. Some[3] said, “John the Baptist[4] has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” (Mt 14:1; Mt 16:14; Mr 8:28; Lc 9:7)15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” (Mt 21:11; Mr 6:14)16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. (Mt 11:2; Lc 3:19; Jn 3:24)18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” (Lv 18:16; Lv 20:21; Mr 6:17)19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly. (Mt 14:5; Mt 21:26; Mr 4:16; Mr 12:37)21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. (Gn 40:20; 1 R 3:15; Est 1:3; Est 2:18)22 For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”23 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.” (Est 5:3; Est 7:2)24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”26 And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s[5] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison28 and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. (Mt 9:14)30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. (Mt 10:2; Lc 6:13; Lc 9:10; Lc 17:5; Lc 22:14; Lc 24:10)31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. (Mr 3:20)32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. (Mt 14:13; Mr 3:9; Mr 8:2; Lc 9:10; Jn 6:1)33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. (Mr 6:54)34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. (Mt 9:36)35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” (Mt 15:23; Mr 6:45)37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii[6] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” (Nm 11:13; Nm 11:21; 2 R 4:42; Jn 6:7)38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” (Mr 8:19)39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. (1 S 9:13; Mt 26:26; Mr 7:34; Mr 8:7; Mr 14:22; Lc 24:30; Jn 11:41; Jn 17:1; 1 Co 14:16)42 And they all ate and were satisfied.43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. (Mt 8:18; Mt 14:22; Mr 6:32; Mr 8:22; Lc 9:10; Jn 6:15)46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. (Mr 1:35; Lc 5:16; Lc 6:12; Lc 9:28)47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. (Mr 13:35)48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night[7] he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them, (Mr 6:47; Lc 24:28)49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” (Dt 31:6; Is 41:13; Is 43:1; Mt 17:7; Lc 24:37; Jn 16:33)51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. (Mr 3:5; Mr 8:17; Jn 12:40; Ro 11:7; 2 Co 3:14)53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. (Mt 14:34; Lc 5:1; Jn 6:24)54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him (Mr 6:33)55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. (Mt 4:24; Lc 5:18)56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well. (Mt 9:20; Mr 3:10; Lc 6:19; Hch 5:15)
