Marcos 6
Dios Habla Hoy
Jesús en Nazaret(A)
6 Jesús se fue de allí a su propia tierra, y sus discípulos fueron con él. 2 Cuando llegó el sábado, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga. Y muchos oyeron a Jesús, y se preguntaron admirados:
—¿Dónde aprendió éste tantas cosas? ¿De dónde ha sacado esa sabiduría y los milagros que hace? 3 ¿No es éste el carpintero, el hijo de María y hermano de Santiago, José, Judas y Simón? ¿Y no viven sus hermanas también aquí, entre nosotros?
Y no tenían fe en él. 4 Pero Jesús les dijo:
—En todas partes se honra a un profeta, menos en su propia tierra, entre sus parientes y en su propia casa.
5 No pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, aparte de poner las manos sobre unos pocos enfermos y sanarlos. 6 Y estaba asombrado porque aquella gente no creía en él.
Jesús envía a los discípulos a anunciar el reino de Dios(B)
Jesús recorría las aldeas cercanas, enseñando. 7 Llamó a los doce discípulos, y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos, dándoles autoridad sobre los espíritus impuros. 8 Les ordenó que no llevaran nada para el camino, sino solamente un bastón. No debían llevar pan ni provisiones ni dinero. 9 Podían ponerse sandalias, pero no llevar ropa de repuesto. 10 Les dijo:
—Cuando entren ustedes en una casa, quédense allí hasta que se vayan del lugar. 11 Y si en algún lugar no los reciben ni los quieren oír, salgan de allí y sacúdanse el polvo de los pies, para que les sirva a ellos de advertencia.
12 Entonces salieron los discípulos a decirle a la gente que se volviera a Dios. 13 También expulsaron muchos demonios, y curaron a muchos enfermos ungiéndolos con aceite.
La muerte de Juan el Bautista(C)
14 El rey Herodes oyó hablar de Jesús, cuya fama había corrido por todas partes. Pues unos decían: «Juan el Bautista ha resucitado, y por eso tiene este poder milagroso.»
15 Otros decían: «Es el profeta Elías.»
Y otros: «Es un profeta, como los antiguos profetas.»
16 Al oír estas cosas, Herodes decía:
—Ése es Juan. Yo mandé cortarle la cabeza y ahora ha resucitado.
17 Es que, por causa de Herodías, Herodes había mandado arrestar a Juan, y lo había hecho encadenar en la cárcel. Herodías era esposa de Filipo, hermano de Herodes, pero Herodes se había casado con ella. 18 Y Juan había dicho a Herodes: «No debes tener como tuya a la mujer de tu hermano.»
19 Herodías odiaba por eso a Juan, y quería matarlo; pero no podía, 20 porque Herodes le tenía miedo, sabiendo que era un hombre justo y santo, y lo protegía. Y aunque al oírlo se quedaba sin saber qué hacer, Herodes escuchaba a Juan de buena gana. 21 Pero Herodías vio llegar su oportunidad cuando Herodes, en su cumpleaños, dio un banquete a sus jefes y comandantes y a las personas importantes de Galilea. 22 La hija de Herodías entró en el lugar del banquete y bailó, y el baile gustó tanto a Herodes y a los que estaban cenando con él, que el rey dijo a la muchacha:
—Pídeme lo que quieras, y te lo daré.
23 Y le juró una y otra vez que le daría cualquier cosa que pidiera, aunque fuera la mitad del país que él gobernaba. 24 Ella salió, y le preguntó a su madre:
—¿Qué pediré?
Le contestó:
—Pídele la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.
25 La muchacha entró de prisa donde estaba el rey, y le dijo:
—Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.
26 El rey se puso muy triste; pero como había hecho un juramento en presencia de sus invitados, no quiso negarle lo que le pedía. 27 Así que mandó en seguida a un soldado con la orden de llevarle la cabeza de Juan. Fue el soldado a la cárcel, le cortó la cabeza a Juan 28 y se la llevó en un plato. Se la dio a la muchacha, y ella se la entregó a su madre.
29 Cuando los seguidores de Juan lo supieron, recogieron el cuerpo y se lo llevaron a enterrar.
Jesús da de comer a una multitud(D)
30 Después de esto, los apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado. 31 Jesús les dijo:
—Vengan, vamos nosotros solos a descansar un poco en un lugar tranquilo.
Porque iba y venía tanta gente, que ellos ni siquiera tenían tiempo para comer. 32 Así que Jesús y sus apóstoles se fueron en una barca a un lugar apartado. 33 Pero muchos los vieron ir, y los reconocieron; entonces de todos los pueblos corrieron allá, y llegaron antes que ellos. 34 Al bajar Jesús de la barca, vio la multitud, y sintió compasión de ellos, porque estaban como ovejas que no tienen pastor; y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. 35 Por la tarde, sus discípulos se le acercaron y le dijeron:
—Ya es tarde, y éste es un lugar solitario. 36 Despide a la gente, para que vayan por los campos y las aldeas de alrededor y se compren algo de comer.
37 Pero Jesús les contestó:
—Denles ustedes de comer.
Ellos respondieron:
—¿Quieres que vayamos a comprar pan por el equivalente al salario de doscientos días, para darles de comer?
38 Jesús les dijo:
—¿Cuántos panes tienen ustedes? Vayan a verlo.
Cuando lo averiguaron, le dijeron:
—Cinco panes y dos pescados.
39 Entonces les mandó que hicieran sentar a la gente en grupos sobre la hierba verde; 40 y se sentaron en grupos de cien y de cincuenta. 41 Luego Jesús tomó en sus manos los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, mirando al cielo, pronunció la bendición, partió los panes y se los fue dando a sus discípulos para que los repartieran entre la gente. Repartió también los dos pescados entre todos. 42 Todos comieron hasta quedar satisfechos; 43 recogieron los pedazos sobrantes de pan y de pescado, y con ellos llenaron doce canastas. 44 Los que comieron de aquellos panes fueron cinco mil hombres.
Jesús camina sobre el agua(E)
45 Después de esto, Jesús hizo que sus discípulos subieran a la barca para que cruzaran el lago antes que él, en dirección a Betsaida, mientras él despedía a la gente. 46 Y cuando la hubo despedido, se fue al cerro a orar. 47 Al llegar la noche, la barca ya estaba en medio del lago. Jesús, que se había quedado solo en tierra, 48 vio que remaban con dificultad, porque tenían el viento en contra. A la madrugada, fue Jesús hacia ellos caminando sobre el agua, y ya iba a pasar junto a ellos. 49 Cuando lo vieron andar sobre el agua, pensaron que era un fantasma, y gritaron; 50 porque todos lo vieron y se asustaron. Pero en seguida él les habló, diciéndoles:
—¡Calma! ¡Soy yo: no tengan miedo!
51 Subió a la barca, y se calmó el viento; y ellos se quedaron muy asombrados, 52 porque no habían entendido el milagro de los panes, pues tenían el entendimiento oscurecido.
Jesús sana a los enfermos de Genesaret(F)
53 Cruzaron el lago y llegaron a la tierra de Genesaret, donde amarraron la barca a la orilla. 54 Tan pronto como bajaron de la barca, la gente reconoció a Jesús. 55 Corrieron por toda aquella región, y comenzaron a llevar en camillas a los enfermos a donde oían decir que estaba Jesús. 56 Y dondequiera que él entraba, ya fuera en las aldeas, en los pueblos o en los campos, ponían a los enfermos en las calles y le rogaban que los dejara tocar siquiera el borde de su capa; y todos los que la tocaban, quedaban sanos.
Mark 6
New King James Version
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth(A)
6 Then (B)He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were (C)astonished, saying, (D)“Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and (E)brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they (F)were offended at Him.
4 But Jesus said to them, (G)“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 (H)Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And (I)He marveled because of their unbelief. (J)Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
Sending Out the Twelve(K)
7 (L)And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out (M)two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— 9 but (N)to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10 (O)Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 (P)And [a]whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, (Q)shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. [b]Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, (R)and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.
John the Baptist Beheaded(S)
14 (T)Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore (U)these powers are at work in him.”
15 (V)Others said, “It is Elijah.”
And others said, “It is [c]the Prophet, (W)or like one of the prophets.”
16 (X)But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!” 17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. 18 Because John had said to Herod, (Y)“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Therefore Herodias [d]held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not; 20 for Herod (Z)feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he [e]did many things, and heard him gladly.
21 (AA)Then an opportune day came when Herod (AB)on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. 22 And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” 23 He also swore to her, (AC)“Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24 So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?”
And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”
25 Immediately she came in 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 (AD)And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison, 28 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 (AE)took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
Feeding the Five Thousand(AF)
30 (AG)Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. 31 (AH)And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For (AI)there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. 32 (AJ)So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.
33 But [f]the multitudes saw them departing, and many (AK)knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 34 (AL)And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like (AM)sheep not having a shepherd. So (AN)He began to teach them many things. 35 (AO)When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves [g]bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
37 But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
And they said to Him, (AP)“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
And when they found out they said, (AQ)“Five, and two fish.”
39 Then He (AR)commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties. 41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He (AS)looked up to heaven, (AT)blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all. 42 So they all ate and were filled. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish. 44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were [h]about five thousand men.
Jesus Walks on the Sea(AU)
45 (AV)Immediately He [i]made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. 46 And when He had sent them away, He (AW)departed to the mountain to pray. 47 Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. 48 Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and (AX)would have passed them by. 49 And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a (AY)ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, (AZ)“Be[j] of good cheer! It is I; do not be (BA)afraid.” 51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind (BB)ceased. And they were greatly (BC)amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. 52 For (BD)they had not understood about the loaves, because their (BE)heart was hardened.
Many Touch Him and Are Made Well(BF)
53 (BG)When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 And when they came out of the boat, immediately [k]the people recognized Him, 55 ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was. 56 Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that (BH)they might just touch the (BI)hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

Mark 6
Revised Geneva Translation
6 And He departed from there and came into His own country. And His disciples followed Him.
2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard Him were astonished, and said, “From where has this Man received these things? And what wisdom is this that is given to Him, that even such great works are done by His hands?
3 “Is not this that carpenter, Mary’s son, the brother of James and Joses, and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they were offended by Him.
4 And Jesus said to them, “A Prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and among his own kindred and in his own house.”
5 And He could do no great works there, except to lay His hands upon a few sick folk and heal them.
6 And He marveled at their unbelief, and went around the towns on every side, teaching.
7 And He called to Him the twelve and began to send them forth two by two and gave them power over unclean spirits.
8 And He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff only, neither bag nor bread nor money in their belts.
9 But that they should wear sandals and that they should not put on two coats.
10 And He said to them, “Wherever you shall enter into a house, stay there till you depart that place.
11 “And whoever shall neither receive you nor hear you, shake off the dust that is under your feet when you depart from there, for a witness to them. Truly I say to you, it shall be easier for Sodom or Gomorrah at the Day of Judgment than for that city.”
12 And they went out and preached repentance.
13 And they cast out many demons. And they anointed many who were sick with oil, and healed them.
14 Then King Herod heard of Him (for His Name was now well-known) and said, “John Baptist has risen again from the dead, and therefore great works are done by him.”
15 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and some said, “It is a Prophet like one of those Prophets.”
16 So when Herod heard it, he said, “It is John, whom I beheaded. He is risen from the dead.”
17 For Herod himself had taken John and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, who was his brother Philip’s wife. Because he had married her.
18 For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Therefore Herodias conspired against him and would have killed him, but she could not.
20 For Herod feared John (knowing that he was a just and holy man) and respected him. And when he heard him, he did so gladly.
21 But the opportunity came when Herod, on his birthday, made a banquet to his princes and captains and chief leaders of Galilee.
22 And the daughter of that same Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod, and those who sat at table together. And the King said to the maid, “Ask of me what you will and I will give it you.”
23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you shall ask of me I will give it to you, even up to the half of my kingdom.”
24 So she went forth and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “John Baptist’s head.”
25 Then she quickly returned to the King and asked, saying, “I would that you should give me, even now, on a platter, the head of John Baptist.”
26 Then the King was very sorry. Yet for his oath’s sake and for their sakes of those who sat at table with him, he would not refuse her.
27 And immediately the king sent the hangman and gave charge that John Baptist’s head should be brought in. So, he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And brought his head on a platter and gave it to the maid. And the maid gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard it, they came and took up his body and put it in a tomb.
30 And the Apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31 And He said to them, “Come away into the wilderness, and rest a while.” For there were many comers and goers, that they had not had a chance to eat.
32 So they went by ship out of the way into a desert place.
33 But the people saw them when they departed and many knew Him and ran after them, out of all cities, and got to the desert place before them.
34 Then Jesus went out and saw a great multitude and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a desert place and now the day is old.
36 “Let them depart, so that they may go into the country and towns nearby and buy bread. For they have nothing to eat.”
37 But He answered, and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred pennies worth of bread and give them that to eat?”
38 Then He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and look.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fishes.”
39 So He commanded them to make them all sit down by groups upon the green grass.
40 Then they sat down by rows, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to Heaven and gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And He divided the two fishes among them all.
42 So they all ate and were satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
44 And those who had eaten were about five thousand men.
45 And immediately He had His disciples get into the ship and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida. While He sent away the people.
46 Then as soon as He had sent them away, He departed into a mountain to pray.
47 And when evening came, the ship was in the midst of the sea and He was alone on the land.
48 And He saw them troubled in rowing (for the wind was against them). And about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking upon the sea; and would have passed by them.
49 And when they saw Him walking upon the sea, they thought it was a spirit and cried out.
50 For they all saw Him and were very afraid. But He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good comfort! It is I! Do not be afraid!”
51 Then He went up to them into the ship. And the wind ceased. And they were much more amazed and marveled.
52 For they had not understood the matter of the loaves, because their hearts were hardened.
53 And they came over and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arrived.
54 So when they had come out of the ship, immediately everyone knew it,
55 and ran around throughout all that region, carrying all who were sick to Him in couches, wherever they heard that He was.
56 And wherever He entered into towns or cities or villages, they laid their sick in the streets and asked Him if they might at least touch the edge of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made whole.
