The Birth of Isaac

21 The Lord (A)visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did to Sarah (B)as he had promised. And Sarah (C)conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age (D)at the time of which God had spoken to him. Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, (E)Isaac.[a] And Abraham (F)circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, (G)as God had commanded him. (H)Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. And Sarah said, (I)“God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.” And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? (J)Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

God Protects Hagar and Ishmael

And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. But Sarah (K)saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, (L)laughing.[b] 10 So she said to Abraham, (M)“Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” 11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for (N)through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 13 And I will make (O)a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.” 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of (P)Beersheba.

15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18 Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” 19 Then (Q)God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20 And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness (R)and became an expert with the bow. 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

God Provides for Hagar and Ishmael

21 The Lord came to help Sarah and did for her what he had promised. So she became pregnant, and at the exact time God had promised, she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. Abraham named his newborn son Isaac. When Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him as God had commanded. Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.

Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me. Who would have predicted to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet, I have given him a son in his old age.”

The child grew and was weaned. On the day Isaac was weaned, Abraham held a big feast. Sarah saw that Abraham’s son by Hagar the Egyptian was laughing at Isaac. 10 She said to Abraham, “Get rid of this slave and her son, because this slave’s son must never share the inheritance with my son Isaac.” 11 Abraham was upset by this because of his son Ishmael. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Don’t be upset about the boy and your slave. Listen to what Sarah says because through Isaac your descendants will carry on your name. 13 Besides, I will make the slave’s son into a nation also, because he is your child.”

14 Early the next morning Abraham took bread and a container of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. He also gave her the boy and sent her on her way. So she left and wandered around in the desert near Beersheba. 15 When the water in the container was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went about as far away as an arrow can be shot and sat down. She said to herself, “I don’t want to watch the boy die.” So she sat down and sobbed loudly.

17 God heard the boy crying, and the Messenger of God called to Hagar from heaven. “What’s the matter, Hagar?” he asked her. “Don’t be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from the bushes. 18 Come on, help the boy up! Take him by the hand, because I’m going to make him into a great nation.”

19 God opened her eyes. Then she saw a well. She filled the container with water and gave the boy a drink.

20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a skilled archer. 21 He lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother got him a wife from Egypt.

Nacimiento de Isaac

21 Visitó Jehová a Sara, como había dicho, e hizo Jehová con Sara como había hablado. Y Sara concibió(A) y dio a Abraham un hijo en su vejez, en el tiempo que Dios le había dicho. Y llamó Abraham el nombre de su hijo que le nació, que le dio a luz Sara, Isaac. Y circuncidó Abraham a su hijo Isaac(B) de ocho días, como Dios le había mandado. Y era Abraham de cien años cuando nació Isaac su hijo.

Entonces dijo Sara: Dios me ha hecho reír, y cualquiera que lo oyere, se reirá conmigo. Y añadió: ¿Quién dijera a Abraham que Sara habría de dar de mamar a hijos? Pues le he dado un hijo en su vejez.

Agar e Ismael son echados de la casa de Abraham

Y creció el niño, y fue destetado; e hizo Abraham gran banquete el día que fue destetado Isaac. Y vio Sara que el hijo de Agar la egipcia, el cual esta le había dado a luz a Abraham, se burlaba de su hijo Isaac. 10 Por tanto, dijo a Abraham: Echa a esta sierva y a su hijo, porque el hijo de esta sierva no ha de heredar con Isaac mi hijo.(C) 11 Este dicho pareció grave en gran manera a Abraham a causa de su hijo. 12 Entonces dijo Dios a Abraham: No te parezca grave a causa del muchacho y de tu sierva; en todo lo que te dijere Sara, oye su voz, porque en Isaac te será llamada descendencia.(D) 13 Y también del hijo de la sierva haré una nación, porque es tu descendiente. 14 Entonces Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y tomó pan, y un odre de agua, y lo dio a Agar, poniéndolo sobre su hombro, y le entregó el muchacho, y la despidió. Y ella salió y anduvo errante por el desierto de Beerseba.

15 Y le faltó el agua del odre, y echó al muchacho debajo de un arbusto, 16 y se fue y se sentó enfrente, a distancia de un tiro de arco; porque decía: No veré cuando el muchacho muera. Y cuando ella se sentó enfrente, el muchacho alzó su voz y lloró. 17 Y oyó Dios la voz del muchacho; y el ángel de Dios llamó a Agar desde el cielo, y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, Agar? No temas; porque Dios ha oído la voz del muchacho en donde está. 18 Levántate, alza al muchacho, y sostenlo con tu mano, porque yo haré de él una gran nación. 19 Entonces Dios le abrió los ojos, y vio una fuente de agua; y fue y llenó el odre de agua, y dio de beber al muchacho. 20 Y Dios estaba con el muchacho; y creció, y habitó en el desierto, y fue tirador de arco. 21 Y habitó en el desierto de Parán; y su madre le tomó mujer de la tierra de Egipto.

21 И призрел Господь на Сарру, как сказал; и сделал Господь Сарре, как говорил.

Сарра зачала и родила Аврааму сына в старости его во время, о котором говорил ему Бог;

и нарек Авраам имя сыну своему, родившемуся у него, которого родила ему Сарра, Исаак;

и обрезал Авраам Исаака, сына своего, в восьмой день, как заповедал ему Бог.

Авраам был ста лет, когда родился у него Исаак, сын его.

И сказала Сарра: смех сделал мне Бог; кто ни услышит обо мне, рассмеется.

И сказала: кто сказал бы Аврааму: Сарра будет кормить детей грудью? ибо в старости его я родила сына.

Дитя выросло и отнято от груди; и Авраам сделал большой пир в тот день, когда Исаак отнят был от груди.

И увидела Сарра, что сын Агари Египтянки, которого она родила Аврааму, насмехается,

10 и сказала Аврааму: выгони эту рабыню и сына ее, ибо не наследует сын рабыни сей с сыном моим Исааком.

11 И показалось это Аврааму весьма неприятным ради сына его.

12 Но Бог сказал Аврааму: не огорчайся ради отрока и рабыни твоей; во всем, что скажет тебе Сарра, слушайся голоса ее, ибо в Исааке наречется тебе семя;

13 и от сына рабыни Я произведу народ, потому что он семя твое.

14 Авраам встал рано утром, и взял хлеба и мех воды, и дал Агари, положив ей на плечи, и отрока, и отпустил ее. Она пошла, и заблудилась в пустыне Вирсавии;

15 и не стало воды в мехе, и она оставила отрока под одним кустом

16 и пошла, села вдали, в расстоянии на [один] выстрел из лука. Ибо она сказала: не [хочу] видеть смерти отрока. И она села против, и подняла вопль, и плакала;

17 и услышал Бог голос отрока; и Ангел Божий с неба воззвал к Агари и сказал ей: что с тобою, Агарь? не бойся; Бог услышал голос отрока оттуда, где он находится;

18 встань, подними отрока и возьми его за руку, ибо Я произведу от него великий народ.

19 И Бог открыл глаза ее, и она увидела колодезь с водою, и пошла, наполнила мех водою и напоила отрока.

20 И Бог был с отроком; и он вырос, и стал жить в пустыне, и сделался стрелком из лука.

21 Он жил в пустыне Фаран; и мать его взяла ему жену из земли Египетской.

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 (A)Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But he answered them, (B)“You give them something to eat.” And (C)they said to him, (D)“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii[a] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, (E)“Five, and two fish.” 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 (F)looked up to heaven and (G)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. 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.

Jesus Walks on the Water

45 (H)Immediately he (I)made his disciples get into (J)the boat and go before him to the other side, (K)to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, (L)he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when (M)evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about (N)the fourth watch of the night[b] he came to them, walking on the sea. (O)He meant to pass by them, 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 (P)were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, (Q)“Take heart; it is I. (R)Do not be afraid.” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for (S)they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts (T)were hardened.

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

53 (U)When they had crossed over, they came to land at (V)Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately (W)recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring (X)the sick people (Y)on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, (Z)they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even (AA)the fringe of his garment. And (AB)as many as touched it were made well.

  1. Mark 6:37 A denarius was a day's wage for a laborer
  2. Mark 6:48 That is, between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

35 When it was late, his disciples came to him. They said, “No one lives around here, and it’s already late. 36 Send the people to the closest farms and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”

37 Jesus replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They said to him, “Should we go and spend about a year’s wages on bread to feed them?”

38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”

When they found out, they told him, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”

39 Then he ordered all of them to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41 After he took the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed the food. He broke the loaves apart and kept giving them to the disciples to give to the people. He also gave pieces of the two fish to everyone. 42 All of them ate as much as they wanted. 43 When they picked up the leftover pieces, they filled twelve baskets with bread and fish. 44 There were 5,000 men who had eaten the bread.

Jesus Walks on the Sea(A)

45 Jesus quickly made his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him while he sent the people away. 46 After saying goodbye to them, he went up a mountain to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48 Jesus saw that they were in a lot of trouble as they rowed, because they were going against the wind. Between three and six o’clock in the morning, he came to them. He was walking on the sea. He wanted to pass by them. 49 When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought, “It’s a ghost!” and they began to scream. 50 All of them saw him and were terrified.

Immediately, he said, “Calm down! It’s me. Don’t be afraid!” 51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were astounded. 52 (They didn’t understand what had happened with the loaves of bread. Instead, their minds were closed.)

53 They crossed the sea, came to shore at Gennesaret, and anchored there.

54 As soon as they stepped out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran all over the countryside and began to carry the sick on cots to any place where they heard he was. 56 Whenever he would go into villages, cities, or farms, people would put their sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch the edge of his clothes. Everyone who touched his clothes was made well.

35 Cuando ya era muy avanzada la hora, sus discípulos se acercaron a él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y la hora ya muy avanzada. 36 Despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren pan, pues no tienen qué comer. 37 Respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Ellos le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer? 38 Él les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id y vedlo. Y al saberlo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces. 39 Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar a todos por grupos sobre la hierba verde. 40 Y se recostaron por grupos, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta. 41 Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y repartió los dos peces entre todos. 42 Y comieron todos, y se saciaron. 43 Y recogieron de los pedazos doce cestas llenas, y de lo que sobró de los peces. 44 Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.

Jesús anda sobre el mar

(Mt. 14.22-27; Jn. 6.15-21)

45 En seguida hizo a sus discípulos entrar en la barca e ir delante de él a Betsaida, en la otra ribera, entre tanto que él despedía a la multitud. 46 Y después que los hubo despedido, se fue al monte a orar; 47 y al venir la noche, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y él solo en tierra. 48 Y viéndoles remar con gran fatiga, porque el viento les era contrario, cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche vino a ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería adelantárseles. 49 Viéndole ellos andar sobre el mar, pensaron que era un fantasma, y gritaron; 50 porque todos le veían, y se turbaron. Pero en seguida habló con ellos, y les dijo: ¡Tened ánimo; yo soy, no temáis! 51 Y subió a ellos en la barca, y se calmó el viento; y ellos se asombraron en gran manera, y se maravillaban. 52 Porque aún no habían entendido lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban endurecidos sus corazones.

Jesús sana a los enfermos en Genesaret

(Mt. 14.34-36)

53 Terminada la travesía, vinieron a tierra de Genesaret, y arribaron a la orilla. 54 Y saliendo ellos de la barca, en seguida la gente le conoció. 55 Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron a traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, a donde oían que estaba. 56 Y dondequiera que entraba, en aldeas, ciudades o campos, ponían en las calles a los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que les dejase tocar siquiera el borde de su manto; y todos los que le tocaban quedaban sanos.

35 И как времени прошло много, ученики Его, приступив к Нему, говорят: место [здесь] пустынное, а времени уже много, --

36 отпусти их, чтобы они пошли в окрестные деревни и селения и купили себе хлеба, ибо им нечего есть.

37 Он сказал им в ответ: вы дайте им есть. И сказали Ему: разве нам пойти купить хлеба динариев на двести и дать им есть?

38 Но Он спросил их: сколько у вас хлебов? пойдите, посмотрите. Они, узнав, сказали: пять хлебов и две рыбы.

39 Тогда повелел им рассадить всех отделениями на зеленой траве.

40 И сели рядами, по сто и по пятидесяти.

41 Он взял пять хлебов и две рыбы, воззрев на небо, благословил и преломил хлебы и дал ученикам Своим, чтобы они раздали им; и две рыбы разделил на всех.

42 И ели все, и насытились.

43 И набрали кусков хлеба и [остатков] от рыб двенадцать полных коробов.

44 Было же евших хлебы около пяти тысяч мужей.

45 И тотчас понудил учеников Своих войти в лодку и отправиться вперед на другую сторону к Вифсаиде, пока Он отпустит народ.

46 И, отпустив их, пошел на гору помолиться.

47 Вечером лодка была посреди моря, а Он один на земле.

48 И увидел их бедствующих в плавании, потому что ветер им был противный; около же четвертой стражи ночи подошел к ним, идя по морю, и хотел миновать их.

49 Они, увидев Его идущего по морю, подумали, что это призрак, и вскричали.

50 Ибо все видели Его и испугались. И тотчас заговорил с ними и сказал им: ободритесь; это Я, не бойтесь.

51 И вошел к ним в лодку, и ветер утих. И они чрезвычайно изумлялись в себе и дивились,

52 ибо не вразумились [чудом] над хлебами, потому что сердце их было окаменено.

53 И, переправившись, прибыли в землю Геннисаретскую и пристали [к] [берегу].

54 Когда вышли они из лодки, тотчас [жители], узнав Его,

55 обежали всю окрестность ту и начали на постелях приносить больных туда, где Он, как слышно было, находился.

56 И куда ни приходил Он, в селения ли, в города ли, в деревни ли, клали больных на открытых местах и просили Его, чтобы им прикоснуться хотя к краю одежды Его; и которые прикасались к Нему, исцелялись.
