Juan 6

1Después de esto, pasó Jesús al otro lado del mar de Galilea, o de Tiberíades.

2Y le seguía un gran gentío, porque veían los milagros que hacía con los enfermos.

3Entonces Jesús subió a la montaña y se sentó con sus discípulos.

4Estaba próxima la Pascua, la fiesta de los judíos.

5Jesús, pues, levantando los ojos y viendo que venía hacia Él una gran multitud, dijo a Felipe: “¿Dónde compraremos pan para que estos tengan qué comer?”.

6Decía esto para ponerlo a prueba, pues Él, por su parte, bien sabía lo que iba a hacer.

7Felipe le respondió: “Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarían para que cada uno tuviera un poco”.

8Uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Pedro, le dijo:

9“Hay aquí un muchachito que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos peces. Pero ¿qué es esto para tanta gente?”

10Mas Jesús dijo: “Haced que los hombres se sienten”. Había mucha hierba en aquel lugar. Se acomodaron, pues, los varones, en número como de cinco mil.

11Tomó, entonces, Jesús los panes, y habiendo dado gracias, los repartió a los que estaban recostados, y también del pescado, cuanto querían.

12Cuando se hubieron hartado dijo a sus discípulos: “Recoged los trozos que sobraron, para que nada se pierda”.

13Los recogieron y llenaron doce canastos con los pedazos de los cinco panes, que sobraron a los que habían comido.

14Entonces aquellos hombres, a la vista del milagro que acababa de hacer, dijeron: “Este es verdaderamente el profeta, el que ha de venir al mundo”.

15Jesús sabiendo, pues, que vendrían a apoderarse de Él para hacerlo rey, se alejó de nuevo a la montaña, Él solo.

16Cuando llegó la tarde, bajaron sus discípulos al mar.

17Y subiendo a la barca, se fueron al otro lado del mar, hacia Cafarnaúm, porque ya se había hecho oscuro, y Jesús no había venido aún a ellos.

18Mas se levantó un gran viento y el mar se puso agitado.

19Y después de haber avanzado veinticinco o treinta estadios, vieron a Jesús, que caminaba sobre el mar aproximándose a la barca, y se asustaron.

20Pero Él les dijo: “No tengáis miedo”.

21Entonces se decidieron a recibirlo en la barca, y en seguida la barca llegó a la orilla, adonde querían ir.

22Al día siguiente, la muchedumbre que permaneció al otro lado del mar, notó que había allí una sola barca, y que Jesús no había subido en ella con sus discípulos, sino que sus discípulos se habían ido solos.

23Mas llegaron barcas de Tiberíades junto al lugar donde habían comido el pan, después de haber el Señor dado gracias.

24Cuando, pues, la muchedumbre vio que Jesús no estaba allí, ni tampoco sus discípulos, subieron en las barcas, y fueron a Cafarnaúm, buscando a Jesús.

25Y al encontrarlo del otro lado del mar, le preguntaron: “Rabí, ¿cuándo llegaste aquí?”

26Jesús les respondió y dijo: “En verdad, en verdad, os digo, me buscáis, no porque visteis milagros, sino porque comisteis de los panes y os hartasteis.

27Trabajad, no por el manjar que pasa, sino por el manjar que perdura para la vida eterna, y que os dará el Hijo del hombre, porque a Este ha marcado con su sello el Padre, Dios”.

28Ellos le dijeron: “¿Qué haremos, pues, para hacer las obras de Dios?”

29Jesús, les respondió y dijo: “La obra de Dios es que creáis en Aquel a quien Él envió”.

30Entonces le dijeron: “¿Qué milagro haces Tú, para que viéndolo creamos en Ti? ¿Qué obra haces?

31Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: «Les dio de comer un pan del cielo»”.

32Jesús les dijo: “En verdad, en verdad, os digo, Moisés no os dio el pan del cielo; es mi Padre quien os da el verdadero pan del cielo.

33Porque el pan de Dios es Aquel que desciende del cielo y da la vida al mundo”.

34Le dijeron: “Señor, danos siempre este pan”.

35Respondioles Jesús: “Soy Yo el pan de vida; quien viene a Mí, no tendrá más hambre, y quien cree en Mí, nunca más tendrá sed.

36Pero, os lo he dicho: a pesar de que me habéis visto, no creéis.

37Todo lo que me da el Padre vendrá a Mí, y al que venga a Mí, no lo echaré fuera, ciertamente,

38porque bajé del cielo para hacer no mi voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió.

39Ahora bien, la voluntad del que me envió, es que no pierda Yo nada de cuanto Él me ha dado, sino que lo resucite en el último día.

40Porque esta es la voluntad del Padre: que todo aquel que contemple al Hijo y crea en Él, tenga vida eterna; y Yo lo resucitaré en el último día”.

41Entonces los judíos se pusieron a murmurar contra Él, porque había dicho: “Yo soy el pan que bajó del cielo”;

42y decían: “¿No es este Jesús, el Hijo de José, cuyo padre y madre conocemos? ¿Cómo, pues, ahora dice: «Yo he bajado del cielo?»”

43Jesús les respondió y dijo: “No murmuréis entre vosotros.

44Ninguno puede venir a Mí, si el Padre que me envió, no lo atrae; y Yo lo resucitaré en el último día.

45Está escrito en los profetas: «Serán todos enseñados por Dios». Todo el que escuchó al Padre y ha aprendido, viene a Mí.

46No es que alguien haya visto al Padre, sino Aquel que viene de Dios, Ese ha visto al Padre.

47En verdad, en verdad, os digo, el que cree tiene vida eterna.

48Yo soy el pan de vida.

49Los padres vuestros comieron en el desierto el maná y murieron.

50He aquí el pan, el que baja del cielo para que uno coma de él y no muera.

51Yo soy el pan, el vivo, el que bajó del cielo. Si uno come de este pan vivirá para siempre, y por lo tanto el pan que Yo daré es la carne mía para la vida del mundo”.

52Empezaron entonces los judíos a discutir entre ellos y a decir: “¿Cómo puede este darnos la carne a comer?”

53Díjoles, pues, Jesús: “En verdad, en verdad, os digo, si no coméis la carne del Hijo del Hombre y bebéis la sangre del mismo, no tenéis vida en vosotros.

54El que de Mí come la carne y de Mí bebe la sangre, tiene vida eterna y Yo le resucitaré en el último día.

55Porque la carne mía verdaderamente es comida y la sangre mía verdaderamente es bebida.

56El que de Mí come la carne y de Mí bebe la sangre, en Mí permanece y Yo en él.

57De la misma manera que Yo, enviado por el Padre viviente, vivo por el Padre, así el que me come, vivirá también por Mí.

58Este es el pan bajado del cielo, no como aquel que comieron los padres, los cuales murieron. El que come este pan vivirá eternamente”.

59Esto dijo en Cafarnaúm, hablando en la sinagoga.

60Después de haberlo oído, muchos de sus discípulos dijeron: “Dura es esta doctrina: ¿Quién puede escucharla?”.

61Jesús, conociendo interiormente que sus discípulos murmuraban sobre esto, les dijo: “¿Esto os escandaliza?

62¿Y si viereis al Hijo del hombre subir adonde estaba antes?

63El espíritu es el que vivifica; la carne para nada aprovecha. Las palabras que Yo os he dicho, son espíritu y son vida.

64Pero hay entre vosotros quienes no creen”. Jesús, en efecto, sabía desde el principio, quiénes eran los que creían, y quién lo había de entregar.

65Y agregó: “He ahí por qué os he dicho que ninguno puede venir a Mí, si esto no le es dado por el Padre”.

66Desde aquel momento muchos de sus discípulos volvieron atrás y dejaron de andar con Él.

67Entonces Jesús dijo a los Doce: “¿Queréis iros también vosotros?”

68Simón Pedro le respondió: “Señor, ¿a quién iríamos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.

69Y nosotros hemos creído y sabemos que Tú eres el Santo de Dios”.

70Jesús les dijo: “¿No fui Yo acaso quien os elegí a vosotros los doce? ¡Y uno de vosotros es diablo!”

71Lo decía por Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, pues él había de entregarlo: él, uno de los Doce.

1Post hæc abiit Jesus trans mare Galilææ, quod est Tiberiadis:

2et sequebatur eum multitudo magna, quia videbant signa quæ faciebat super his qui infirmabantur.

3Subiit ergo in montem Jesus et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis.

4Erat autem proximum Pascha dies festus Judæorum.

5Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Jesus, et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philippum: Unde ememus panes, ut manducent hi?

6Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum: ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus.

7Respondit ei Philippus: Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat.

8Dicit ei unus ex discipulis ejus, Andreas, frater Simonis Petri:

9Est puer unus hic qui habet quinque panes hordeaceos et duos pisces: sed hæc quid sunt inter tantos?

10Dixit ergo Jesus: Facite homines discumbere. Erat autem fœnum multum in loco. Discumberunt ergo viri, numero quasi quinque millia.

11Accepit ergo Jesus panes: et cum gratias egisset, distribuit discumbentibus: similiter et ex piscibus quantum volebant.

12Ut autem impleti sunt, dixit discipulis suis: Colligite quæ superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant.

13Collegerunt ergo, et impleverunt duodecim cophinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus hordeaceis, quæ superfuerunt his qui manducaverant.

14Illi ergo homines cum vidissent quod Jesus fecerat signum, dicebant: Quia hic est vere propheta, qui venturus est in mundum.

15Jesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi essent ut raperent eum, et facerent eum regem, fugit iterum in montem ipse solus.

16Ut autem sero factum est, descenderunt discipuli ejus ad mare.

17Et cum ascendissent navim, venerunt trans mare in Capharnaum: et tenebræ jam factæ erant et non venerat ad eos Jesus.

18Mare autem, vento magno flante, exsurgebat.

19Cum remigassent ergo quasi stadia viginti quinque aut triginta, vident Jesum ambulantem supra mare, et proximum navi fieri, et timuerunt.

20Ille autem dicit eis: Ego sum, nolite timere.

21Voluerunt ergo accipere eum in navim et statim navis fuit ad terram, in quam ibant.

22Altera die, turba, quæ stabat trans mare, vidit quia navicula alia non erat ibi nisi una, et quia non introisset cum discipulis suis Jesus in navim, sed soli discipuli ejus abiissent:

23aliæ vero supervenerunt naves a Tiberiade juxta locum ubi manducaverunt panem, gratias agente Domino.

24Cum ergo vidisset turba quia Jesus non esset ibi, neque discipuli ejus, ascenderunt in naviculas, et venerunt Capharnaum quærentes Jesum.

25Et cum invenissent eum trans mare, dixerunt ei: Rabbi, quando huc venisti?

26Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit: Amen, amen dico vobis: quæritis me non quia vidistis signa, sed quia manducastis ex panibus et saturati estis.

27Operamini non cibum, qui perit, sed qui permanet in vitam æternam, quem Filius hominis dabit vobis. Hunc enim Pater signavit Deus.

28Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Quid faciemus ut operemur opera Dei?

29Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis: Hoc est opus Dei, ut credatis in eum quem misit ille.

30Dixerunt ergo ei: Quod ergo tu facis signum ut videamus et credamus tibi? quid operaris?

31Patres nostri manducaverunt manna in deserto, sicut scriptum est: Panem de cælo dedit eis manducare.

32Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: non Moyses dedit vobis panem de cælo, sed Pater meus dat vobis panem de cælo verum.

33Panis enim Dei est, qui de cælo descendit, et dat vitam mundo.

34Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Domine, semper da nobis panem hunc.

35Dixit autem eis Jesus: Ego sum panis vitæ: qui venit ad me, non esuriet, et qui credit in me, non sitiet umquam.

36Sed dixi vobis quia et vidistis me, et non creditis.

37Omne quod dat mihi Pater, ad me veniet: et eum qui venit ad me, non ejiciam foras:

38quia descendi de cælo, non ut faciam voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.

39Hæc est autem voluntas ejus qui misit me, Patris: ut omne quod dedit mihi, non perdam ex eo, sed resuscitem illud in novissimo die.

40Hæc est autem voluntas Patris mei, qui misit me: ut omnis qui videt Filium et credit in eum, habeat vitam æternam, et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

41Murmurabant ergo Judæi de illo, quia dixisset: Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descendi,

42et dicebant: Nonne hic est Jesus filius Joseph, cujus nos novimus patrem et matrem? quomodo ergo dicit hic: Quia de cælo descendi?

43Respondit ergo Jesus, et dixit eis: Nolite murmurare in invicem:

44nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum; et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

45Est scriptum in prophetis: Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei. Omnis qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me.

46Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is, qui est a Deo, hic vidit Patrem.

47Amen, amen dico vobis: qui credit in me, habet vitam æternam.

48Ego sum panis vitæ.

49Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.

50Hic est panis de cælo descendens: ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur.

51Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descendi.

52Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in æternum: et panis quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.

53Litigabant ergo Judæi ad invicem, dicentes: Quomodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducandum?

54Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis, et biberitis ejus sanguinem, non habebitis vitam in vobis.

55Qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem, habet vitam æternam: et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

56Caro enim mea vere est cibus: et sanguis meus, vere est potus;

57qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem, in me manet, et ego in illo.

58Sicut misit me vivens Pater, et ego vivo propter Patrem: et qui manducat me, et ipse vivet propter me.

59Hic est panis qui de cælo descendit. Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna, et mortui sunt. Qui manducat hunc panem, vivet in æternum.

60Hæc dixit in synagoga docens, in Capharnaum.

61Multi ergo audientes ex discipulis ejus, dixerunt: Durus est hic sermo, et quis potest eum audire?

62Sciens autem Jesus apud semetipsum quia murmurarent de hoc discipuli ejus, dixit eis: Hoc vos scandalizat?

63si ergo videritis Filium hominis ascendentem ubi erat prius?

64Spiritus est qui vivificat: caro non prodest quidquam: verba quæ ego locutus sum vobis, spiritus et vita sunt.

65Sed sunt quidam ex vobis qui non credunt. Sciebat enim ab initio Jesus qui essent non credentes, et quis traditurus esset eum.

66Et dicebat: Propterea dixi vobis, quia nemo potest venire ad me, nisi fuerit ei datum a Patre meo.

67Ex hoc multi discipulorum ejus abierunt retro: et jam non cum illo ambulabant.

68Dixit ergo Jesus ad duodecim: Numquid et vos vultis abire?

69Respondit ergo ei Simon Petrus: Domine, ad quem ibimus? verba vitæ æternæ habes:

70et nos credidimus, et cognovimus quia tu es Christus Filius Dei.

71Respondit eis Jesus: Nonne ego vos duodecim elegi: et ex vobis unus diabolus est?

72Dicebat autem Judam Simonis Iscariotem: hic enim erat traditurus eum, cum esset unus ex duodecim.

1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.

2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

3Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

4Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.

5When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.

7Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

8One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:

9There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?

10Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

11And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.

12And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.

13They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

14Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.

15Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.

16And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.

17And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.

18And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.

19When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.

20But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.

21They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.

22The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.

23But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.

24When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.

25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.

28They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?

29Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.

30They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?

31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

34They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.

35And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.

36But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.

37All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.

38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.

40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.

41The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

42And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?

43Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

44No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

45It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.

46Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.

47Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.

48I am the bread of life.

49Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.

50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.

51I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

52If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

53The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

54Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

56For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

57He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

58As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.

59This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.

60These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.

61Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?

62But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?

63If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

64It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.

65But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.

66And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.

67After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.

68Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?

69And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

70And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

71Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?

72Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.
