Marcos 6

1Saliendo de allí, vino a su tierra, y sus discípulos lo acompañaron.

2Llegado el sábado, se puso a enseñar en la sinagoga, y la numerosa concurrencia que lo escuchaba estaba llena de admiración, y decía: “¿De dónde le viene esto? ¿Y qué es esta sabiduría que le ha sido dada? ¿Y estos grandes milagros obrados por sus manos?

3¿No es Este el carpintero, el hijo de María, el hermano de Santiago, de José, de Judas y de Simón? ¿Y sus hermanas no están aquí entre nosotros?” Y se escandalizaban de Él.

4Mas Jesús les dijo: “No hay profeta sin honor sino en su tierra, entre sus parientes y en su casa”.

5Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro; solamente puso las manos sobre unos pocos enfermos, y los sanó.

6Y se quedó asombrado de la falta de fe de ellos. Y recorrió las aldeas a la redonda, enseñando.

7Entonces, llamando a los doce, comenzó a enviarlos, de dos en dos, dándoles poder sobre los espíritus inmundos,

8y les ordenó que no llevasen nada para el camino, sino solo un bastón; ni pan, ni alforja, ni dinero en el cinto,

9sino que fuesen calzados de sandalias, y no se pusieran dos túnicas.

10Y les dijo: “Dondequiera que entréis en una casa, quedaos allí hasta el momento de salir del lugar.

11Y si en algún lugar no quieren recibiros y no se os escucha, salid de allí y sacudid el polvo de la planta de vuestros pies para testimonio a ellos”.

12Partieron, pues, y predicaron el arrepentimiento.

13Expulsaban también a muchos demonios, y ungían con óleo a muchos enfermos y los sanaban.

14El rey Herodes oyó hablar ( de Jesús), porque su nombre se había hecho célebre y dijo: “Juan el Bautista ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y por eso las virtudes obran en Él”.

15Otros decían: “Es Elías” otros: “Es un profeta, tal como uno de los ( antiguos) profetas”.

16No obstante esos rumores, Herodes decía: “Aquel Juan, a quien hice decapitar, ha resucitado”.

17Herodes, en efecto, había mandado arrestar a Juan, y lo había encadenado en la cárcel, a causa de Herodías, la mujer de Filipo, su hermano, pues la había tomado por su mujer.

18Porque Juan decía a Herodes: “No te es lícito tener a la mujer de tu hermano”.

19Herodías le guardaba rencor, y quería hacerlo morir, y no podía.

20Porque Herodes tenía respeto por Juan, sabiendo que era un varón justo y santo, y lo amparaba: al oírlo se quedaba muy perplejo y sin embargo lo escuchaba con gusto.

21Llegó, empero, una ocasión favorable, cuando Herodes, en su cumpleaños, dio un festín a sus grandes, a los oficiales, y a los personajes de Galilea.

22Entró ( en esta ocasión) la hija de Herodías y se congració por sus danzas con Herodes y los convidados. Dijo, entonces, el rey a la muchacha. “Pídeme lo que quieras, yo te lo daré”.

23Y le juró: “Todo lo que me pidas, te lo daré, aunque sea la mitad de mi reino”.

24Ella salió y preguntó a su madre: “¿Qué he de pedir?” Esta dijo: “La cabeza de Juan el Bautista”.

25Y entrando luego a prisa ante el rey, le hizo su petición: “Quiero que al instante me des sobre un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista”.

26Se afligió mucho el rey; pero en atención a su juramento y a los convidados, no quiso rechazarla.

27Acto continuo envió, pues, el rey un verdugo, ordenándole traer la cabeza de Juan.

28Este fue, lo decapitó en la prisión, y trajo sobre un plato la cabeza que entregó a la muchacha, y la muchacha la dio a su madre.

29Sus discípulos luego que lo supieron, vinieron a llevarse el cuerpo y lo pusieron en un sepulcro.

30Nuevamente reunidos con Jesús, le refirieron los apóstoles todo cuanto habían hecho y enseñado.

31Entonces les dijo: “Venid vosotros aparte, a un lugar desierto, para que descanséis un poco”. Porque muchos eran los que venían e iban, y ellos no tenían siquiera tiempo para comer.

32Partieron, pues, en una barca, hacia un lugar desierto y apartado.

33Pero ( las gentes) los vieron cuando se iban, y muchos los conocieron; y, acudieron allí, a pie, de todas las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos.

34Al desembarcar, vio una gran muchedumbre, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor, y se puso a enseñarles muchas cosas.

35Siendo ya la hora muy avanzada, sus discípulos se acercaron a Él, y le dijeron: “Este lugar es desierto, y ya es muy tarde.

36Despídelos, para que se vayan a las granjas y aldeas del contorno a comprarse qué comer”.

37Mas Él les respondió y dijo: “Dadles de comer vosotros”. Le replicaron: “¿Acaso habremos de comprar pan por doscientos denarios, a fin de darles de comer?

38Les preguntó: “¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id a ver”. Habiéndose cerciorado, le dijeron: “Cinco panes y dos peces”.

39Y les ordenó hacerlos acampar a todos, por grupos, sobre la hierba verde.

40Se sentaron, pues, en cuadros, de a ciento y de a cincuenta.

41Entonces, tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, levantó los ojos al cielo, bendijo los panes, los partió y los dio a los discípulos, para que ellos los sirviesen. Y repartió también los dos peces entre todos.

42Comieron todos hasta saciarse.

43Y recogieron doce canastos llenos de los trozos y de los peces.

44Los que habían comido los panes, eran cinco mil varones.

45Inmediatamente obligó a sus discípulos a reembarcarse y a adelantársele hacia la otra orilla, en dirección a Betsaida, mientras Él despedía a la gente.

46Habiéndola, en efecto despedido, se fue al monte a orar.

47Cuando llegó la noche, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y Él solo en tierra.

48Y viendo que ellos hacían esfuerzos penosos por avanzar, porque el viento les era contrario, vino hacia ellos, cerca de la cuarta vela de la noche, andando sobre el mar, y parecía querer pasarlos de largo.

49Pero ellos, al verlo andando sobre el mar, creyeron que era un fantasma y gritaron;

50porque todos lo vieron y se sobresaltaron. Mas Él, al instante, les habló y les dijo: “¡Ánimo! soy Yo. No tengáis miedo”.

51Subió entonces con ellos a la barca, y se calmó el viento. Y la extrañeza de ellos llegó a su colmo.

52Es que no habían comprendido lo de los panes, porque sus corazones estaban endurecidos.

53Terminada la travesía, llegaron a tierra de Genesaret, y atracaron.

54Apenas salieron de la barca, lo conocieron,

55y recorrieron toda esa región; y empezaron a transportar en camillas los enfermos a los lugares donde oían que Él estaba.

56Y en todas partes adonde entraba: aldeas, ciudades, granjas, colocaban a los enfermos en las plazas, y le suplicaban que los dejasen tocar aunque no fuese más que la franja de su manto; y cuantos lo tocaban, quedaban sanos.

1Et egressus inde, abiit in patriam suam: et sequebantur eum discipuli sui:

2et facto sabbato cœpit in synagoga docere: et multi audientes admirabantur in doctrina ejus, dicentes: Unde huic hæc omnia? et quæ est sapientia, quæ data est illi, et virtutes tales, quæ per manus ejus efficiuntur?

3Nonne hic est faber, filius Mariæ, frater Jacobi, et Joseph, et Judæ, et Simonis? nonne et sorores ejus hic nobiscum sunt? Et scandalizabantur in illo.

4Et dicebat illis Jesus: Quia non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua, et in cognatione sua.

5Et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere, nisi paucos infirmos impositis manibus curavit:

6et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum, et circuibat castella in circuitu docens.

7Et vocavit duodecim: et cœpit eos mittere binos, et dabat illis potestatem spirituum immundorum.

8Et præcepit eis ne quid tollerent in via, nisi virgam tantum: non peram, non panem, neque in zona æs,

9sed calceatos sandaliis, et ne induerentur duabus tunicis.

10Et dicebat eis: Quocumque introieritis in domum, illic manete donec exeatis inde:

11et quicumque non receperint vos, nec audierint vos, exeuntes inde, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis.

12Et exeuntes prædicabant ut pœnitentiam agerent:

13et dæmonia multa ejiciebant, et ungebant oleo multos ægros, et sanabant.

14Et audivit rex Herodes (manifestum enim factum est nomen ejus), et dicebat: Quia Joannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis: et propterea virtutes operantur in illo.

15Alii autem dicebant: Quia Elias est; alii vero dicebant: Quia propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis.

16Quo audito Herodes ait: Quem ego decollavi Joannem, hic a mortuis resurrexit.

17Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam.

18Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi: Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui.

19Herodias autem insidiabatur illi: et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat.

20Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum: et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat.

21Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui cœnam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilææ:

22cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellæ: Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi:

23et juravit illi: Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei.

24Quæ cum exisset, dixit matri suæ: Quid petam? At illa dixit: Caput Joannis Baptistæ.

25Cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem, petivit dicens: Volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.

26Et contristatus est rex: propter jusjurandum, et propter simul discumbentes, noluit eam contristare:

27sed misso spiculatore præcepit afferri caput ejus in disco. Et decollavit eum in carcere,

28et attulit caput ejus in disco: et dedit illud puellæ, et puella dedit matri suæ.

29Quo audito, discipuli ejus venerunt, et tulerunt corpus ejus: et posuerunt illud in monumento.

30Et convenientes Apostoli ad Jesum, renuntiaverunt ei omnia quæ egerant, et docuerant.

31Et ait illis: Venite seorsum in desertum locum, et requiescite pusillum. Erant enim qui veniebant et redibant multi: et nec spatium manducandi habebant.

32Et ascendentes in navim, abierunt in desertum locum seorsum.

33Et viderunt eos abeuntes, et cognoverunt multi: et pedestres de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc, et prævenerunt eos.

34Et exiens vidit turbam multam Jesus: et misertus est super eos, quia erant sicut oves non habentes pastorem, et cœpit docere multa.

35Et cum jam hora multa fieret, accesserunt discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus hic, et jam hora præteriit:

36dimitte illos, ut euntes in proximas villas et vicos, emant sibi cibos, quos manducent.

37Et respondens ait illis: Date illis vos manducare. Et dixerunt ei: Euntes emamus ducentis denariis panes, et dabimus illis manducare.

38Et dicit eis: Quot panes habetis? ite, et videte. Et cum cognovissent, dicunt: Quinque, et duos pisces.

39Et præcepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fœnum.

40Et discubuerunt in partes per centenos et quinquagenos.

41Et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus pisces, intuens in cælum, benedixit, et fregit panes, et dedit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante eos: et duos pisces divisit omnibus.

42Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt.

43Et sustulerunt reliquias, fragmentorum duodecim cophinos plenos, et de piscibus.

44Erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque millia virorum.

45Et statim coëgit discipulos suos ascendere navim, ut præcederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam, dum ipse dimitteret populum.

46Et cum dimisisset eos, abiit in montem orare.

47Et cum sero esset, erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra.

48Et videns eos laborantes in remigando (erat enim ventus contrarius eis) et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans supra mare: et volebat præterire eos.

49At illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem supra mare, putaverunt phantasma esse, et exclamaverunt.

50Omnes enim viderunt eum, et conturbati sunt. Et statim locutus est cum eis, et dixit eis: Confidite, ego sum: nolite timere.

51Et ascendit ad illos in navim, et cessavit ventus. Et plus magis intra se stupebant:

52non enim intellexerunt de panibus: erat enim cor eorum obcæcatum.

53Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesareth, et applicuerunt.

54Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum:

55et percurrentes universam regionem illam, cœperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse.

56Et quocumque introibat, in vicos, vel in villas aut civitates, in plateis ponebant infirmos, et deprecabantur eum, ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent, et quotquot tangebant eum, salvi fiebant.

1And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him.

2And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands?

3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him.

4And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.

5And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.

6And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.

7And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

8And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse,

9But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats.

10And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.

11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.

12And going forth they preached that men should do penance:

13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

14And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

15And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

16Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

17For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

18For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

19Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.

20For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

21And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

22And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

23And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

24Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.

25And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

26And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

27But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.

28And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

29Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

30And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught.

31And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.

32And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.

33And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.

34And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:

36Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.

37And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.

38And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.

39And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

41And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.

42And they all did eat, and had their fill.

43And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes.

44And they that did eat, were five thousand men.

45And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people.

46And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray.

47And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.

48And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.

49But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.

50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.

51And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:

52For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.

53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.

54And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:

55And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

56And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
