Juan 6
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Alimentación de los cinco mil
6 (A)Después de esto, Jesús se fue al otro lado del mar de Galilea(B), el de Tiberias(C). 2 Y una gran multitud lo seguía, pues veían las señales[a](D) que realizaba en los enfermos. 3 Entonces Jesús subió al monte(E) y se sentó allí con Sus discípulos. 4 Estaba cerca la Pascua(F), la fiesta de los judíos.
5 Cuando Jesús alzó los ojos y vio que una gran multitud venía hacia Él, dijo* a Felipe(G): «¿Dónde compraremos pan para que coman estos?». 6 Pero decía esto para probarlo(H), porque Él sabía lo que iba a hacer. 7 Felipe(I) le respondió: «Doscientos denarios[b] de pan(J) no les bastarán para que cada uno reciba un pedazo[c]».
8 Uno de Sus discípulos(K), Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro(L), dijo* a Jesús: 9 «Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados(M); pero ¿qué es esto para tantos?». 10 «Hagan que la gente se siente», dijo Jesús. Y había mucha hierba(N) en aquel lugar; así que se sentaron. El número de los hombres era de unos cinco mil(O).
11 Entonces Jesús tomó los panes, y habiendo dado gracias(P), los repartió a los que estaban sentados[d]; y lo mismo hizo con los pescados(Q), dándoles todo lo que querían. 12 Cuando se saciaron, dijo* a Sus discípulos(R): «Recojan los pedazos que sobran, para que no se pierda nada». 13 Ellos los recogieron, y llenaron doce cestas(S) con los pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada que sobraron a los que habían comido.
14 La gente, entonces, al ver la señal[e] que Jesús había hecho, decía: «Verdaderamente Este es el Profeta(T) que había de venir[f] al mundo».
15 Por lo que Jesús, dándose cuenta de que iban a venir y por la fuerza hacerle rey(U), (V)se retiró Él solo otra vez al monte(W).
Jesús anda sobre el mar
16 Al atardecer Sus discípulos(X) bajaron hasta el mar, 17 y subiendo en una barca, se dirigieron al otro lado del mar, hacia Capernaúm(Y). Ya había oscurecido, y Jesús todavía no había venido adonde ellos estaban; 18 y el mar estaba agitado porque soplaba un fuerte viento. 19 Cuando habían remado unos 25 o 30 estadios (cuatro o cinco kilómetros), vieron* a Jesús caminando sobre el mar y que se acercaba a la barca, y se asustaron. 20 Pero Él les dijo*: «Soy Yo; no teman(Z)».
21 Entonces ellos querían recibir a Jesús en la barca, y la barca llegó enseguida a la tierra adonde iban.
Jesús, el pan de la vida
22 Al día siguiente, la multitud(AA) que había quedado al otro lado del mar se dio cuenta de[g] que allí no había[h] más que una barca, y que Jesús no había entrado en ella[i] con Sus discípulos, sino que Sus discípulos se habían ido solos(AB). 23 Vinieron otras barcas de Tiberias(AC) cerca del lugar donde habían comido el pan después de que el Señor(AD) había dado gracias(AE). 24 Por tanto, cuando la gente vio que Jesús no estaba allí, ni tampoco Sus discípulos, subieron a las barcas y se fueron a Capernaúm(AF) buscando a Jesús. 25 Cuando lo hallaron al otro lado del mar, le dijeron: «Rabí[j](AG), ¿cuándo llegaste acá?».
26 Jesús les respondió: «En verdad les digo, que me buscan(AH), no porque hayan visto señales[k](AI), sino porque han comido de los panes y se han saciado. 27 Trabajen, no por el alimento que perece, sino por el alimento que permanece(AJ)para vida eterna(AK), el cual el Hijo del Hombre(AL)les dará, porque a Él es a quien el Padre, Dios, ha marcado con Su sello(AM)».
28 Entonces le preguntaron: «¿Qué debemos hacer[l] para poner en práctica las obras de Dios?». 29 Jesús les respondió: «Esta es la obra de Dios: que crean(AN)en el que Él ha enviado(AO)».
30 Le dijeron entonces: «¿Qué, pues, haces Tú como señal[m](AP) para que veamos y te creamos? ¿Qué obra haces? 31 Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto(AQ), como está escrito: “Les dio a comer pan del cielo(AR)”». 32 Entonces Jesús les dijo: «En verdad les digo, que no es Moisés el que les ha dado el pan del cielo, sino que es Mi Padre el que les da el verdadero pan del cielo. 33 Porque el pan de Dios es el[n]que baja del cielo(AS), y da vida al mundo». 34 «Señor, danos siempre este pan(AT)», le dijeron.
35 Jesús les dijo: «Yo soy el pan de la vida(AU); el que viene a Mí no tendrá hambre, y el que cree en Mí nunca tendrá sed(AV). 36 Pero ya les dije que aunque me han visto(AW), no creen. 37 Todo lo que el Padre me da(AX), vendrá a Mí; y al que viene a Mí, de ningún modo lo echaré fuera. 38 Porque he descendido del cielo(AY), no para hacer Mi voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió(AZ). 39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió: que de todo lo que Él me ha dado(BA)Yo no pierda nada(BB), sino que lo resucite en el día final(BC). 40 Porque esta es la voluntad de Mi Padre: que todo aquel que ve al Hijo(BD)y cree en Él, tenga vida eterna(BE), y Yo mismo lo resucitaré en el día final(BF)».
Murmuración de los judíos
41 Por eso los judíos(BG) murmuraban de Él, porque había dicho: «Yo soy el pan que descendió del cielo(BH)». 42 Y decían: «¿No es este Jesús, el hijo de José(BI), cuyo padre y madre nosotros conocemos(BJ)? ¿Cómo es que ahora dice: “Yo he descendido del cielo(BK)”?».
43 Jesús les dijo: «No murmuren entre sí. 44 Nadie puede venir a Mí si no lo trae[o](BL)el Padre que me envió, y Yo lo resucitaré en el día final(BM). 45 Escrito está en los profetas(BN): “Y todos serán enseñados por Dios(BO)”. Todo el que ha oído y aprendido del Padre, viene a Mí. 46 No es que alguien haya visto al Padre; sino Aquel que viene[p]de Dios, Él ha visto al Padre(BP). 47 En verdad les digo: el que cree[q], tiene vida eterna(BQ).
48 »Yo soy el pan de la vida(BR) . 49 Los padres de ustedes comieron el maná en el desierto, y murieron(BS). 50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo(BT), para que el que coma de él, no muera(BU). 51 Yo soy el pan vivo(BV)que descendió del cielo(BW); si alguien come de este pan, vivirá para siempre(BX); y el pan que Yo también daré por la vida del mundo(BY)es Mi carne(BZ)».
52 Los judíos(CA), por tanto, discutían entre sí(CB), diciendo: «¿Cómo puede Este darnos a comer Su carne?». 53 Entonces Jesús les dijo: «En verdad les digo, que si no comen la carne del Hijo del Hombre(CC)y beben Su sangre, no tienen vida en ustedes. 54 El que come Mi carne y bebe Mi sangre, tiene vida eterna, y Yo lo resucitaré en el día final(CD). 55 Porque Mi carne es verdadera comida, y Mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
56 »El que come Mi carne y bebe Mi sangre, permanece en Mí y Yo en él(CE) . 57 Como el Padre que vive(CF)me envió(CG), y Yo vivo por el Padre, asimismo el que me come, él también vivirá por Mí. 58 Este es el pan que descendió del cielo(CH); no como el que los[r]padres de ustedes comieron, y murieron(CI); el que come este pan vivirá para siempre(CJ)».
59 Esto dijo Jesús en la sinagoga, cuando enseñaba(CK) en Capernaúm(CL).
Reacción de los discípulos
60 Por eso muchos de Sus discípulos(CM), cuando oyeron esto, dijeron: «Dura es esta declaración(CN); ¿quién puede escucharla?». 61 Pero Jesús, consciente(CO) de que Sus discípulos murmuraban por esto, les dijo: «¿Esto los escandaliza[s](CP)? 62 ¿Pues qué si vieran al Hijo del Hombre(CQ)ascender adonde estaba antes(CR)?
63 »El Espíritu es el que da vida(CS) ; la carne para nada aprovecha; las palabras que Yo les he hablado son espíritu y son vida(CT) . 64 Pero hay algunos de ustedes que no creen(CU)». Porque Jesús sabía(CV) desde el principio quiénes eran los que no creían, y quién era el que lo iba a traicionar[t](CW). 65 También decía: «Por eso les he dicho que nadie puede venir a Mí si no se lo ha concedido(CX)el Padre(CY)».
66 Como resultado de esto muchos de Sus discípulos(CZ) se apartaron(DA) y ya no andaban con Él. 67 Entonces Jesús dijo a los doce discípulos(DB): «¿Acaso también ustedes quieren irse?». 68 Simón Pedro(DC) le respondió: «Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna(DD). 69 Y nosotros hemos creído y sabemos que Tú eres el Santo de Dios(DE)». 70 Jesús les respondió: «¿No los escogí(DF)Yo a ustedes, los doce(DG), y sin embargo uno de ustedes es un diablo(DH)?». 71 Él se refería a Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote(DI), porque este, uno de los doce(DJ), lo iba a entregar[u](DK).

Names of God Bible
Jesus Feeds More Than Five Thousand(A)
6 Yeshua later crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or the Sea of Tiberias). 2 A large crowd followed him because they saw the miracles that he performed for the sick. 3 Yeshua went up a mountain and sat with his disciples. 4 The time for the Jewish Passover festival was near.
5 As Yeshua saw a large crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 Yeshua asked this question to test him. He already knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered, “We would need about a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece.”
8 One of Yeshua’s disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s brother, told him, 9 “A boy who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish is here. But they won’t go very far for so many people.”
10 Yeshua said, “Have the people sit down.”
The people had plenty of grass to sit on. (There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.)
11 Yeshua took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same thing with the fish. All the people ate as much as they wanted.
12 When the people were full, Yeshua told his disciples, “Gather the leftover pieces so that nothing will be wasted.” 13 The disciples gathered the leftover pieces of bread and filled twelve baskets.
14 When the people saw the miracle Yeshua performed, they said, “This man is certainly the prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Yeshua realized that the people intended to take him by force and make him king. So he returned to the mountain by himself.
Jesus Walks on the Sea(B)
16 When evening came, his disciples went to the sea. 17 They got into a boat and started to cross the sea to the city of Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Yeshua had not yet come to them. 18 A strong wind started to blow and stir up the sea.
19 After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Yeshua walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they became terrified.
20 Yeshua told them, “It’s me. Don’t be afraid!”
21 So they were willing to help Yeshua into the boat. Immediately, the boat reached the shore where they were going.
Jesus Is the Bread of Life
22 On the next day the people were still on the other side of the sea. They noticed that only one boat was there and that Yeshua had not stepped into that boat with his disciples. The disciples had gone away without him. 23 Other boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks. 24 When the people saw that neither Yeshua nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to the city of Capernaum to look for Yeshua. 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Yeshua replied to them, “I can guarantee this truth: You’re not looking for me because you saw miracles. You are looking for me because you ate as much of those loaves as you wanted. 27 Don’t work for food that spoils. Instead, work for the food that lasts into eternal life. This is the food the Son of Man will give you. After all, the Father has placed his seal of approval on him.”
28 The people asked Yeshua, “What does God want us to do?”
29 Yeshua replied to them, “God wants to do something for you so that you believe in the one whom he has sent.”
30 The people asked him, “What miracle are you going to perform so that we can see it and believe in you? What are you going to do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the desert. Scripture says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Yeshua said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 God’s bread is the man who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time.”
35 Yeshua told them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty. 36 I’ve told you that you have seen me. However, you don’t believe in me. 37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me. 38 I haven’t come from heaven to do what I want to do. I’ve come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do. 39 The one who sent me doesn’t want me to lose any of those he gave me. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day. 40 My Father wants all those who see the Son and believe in him to have eternal life. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.”
41 The Jews began to criticize Yeshua for saying, “I am the bread that came from heaven.” 42 They asked, “Isn’t this man Yeshua, Joseph’s son? Don’t we know his father and mother? How can he say now, ‘I came from heaven’?”
43 Yeshua responded, “Stop criticizing me! 44 People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them to me. I will bring these people back to life on the last day. 45 The prophets wrote, ‘God will teach everyone.’ Those who do what they have learned from the Father come to me. 46 I’m saying that no one has seen the Father. Only the one who is from God has seen the Father. 47 I can guarantee this truth: Every believer has eternal life.
48 “I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert and died. 50 This is the bread that comes from heaven so that whoever eats it won’t die. 51 I am the living bread that came from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. The bread I will give to bring life to the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Yeshua told them, “I can guarantee this truth: If you don’t eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have the source of life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day. 55 My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them. 57 The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came from heaven. It is not like the bread your ancestors ate. They eventually died. Those who eat this bread will live forever.”
59 Yeshua said this while he was teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum. 60 When many of Yeshua’s disciples heard him, they said, “What he says is hard to accept. Who wants to listen to him anymore?”
61 Yeshua was aware that his disciples were criticizing his message. So Yeshua asked them, “Did what I say make you lose faith? 62 What if you see the Son of Man go where he was before? 63 Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn’t contribute to that life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. They are life. 64 But some of you don’t believe.” Yeshua knew from the beginning those who wouldn’t believe and the one who would betray him. 65 So he added, “That is why I told you that people cannot come to me unless the Father provides the way.”
66 Yeshua’s speech made many of his disciples go back to the lives they had led before they followed Yeshua. 67 So Yeshua asked the twelve apostles, “Do you want to leave me too?”
68 Simon Peter answered Yeshua, “Lord, to what person could we go? Your words give eternal life. 69 Besides, we believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
70 Yeshua replied, “I chose all twelve of you. Yet, one of you is a devil.” 71 Yeshua meant Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Judas, who was one of the twelve apostles, would later betray Yeshua.
John 6
King James Version
6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
