Juan 6
Biblia del Jubileo
6 ¶ Pasadas estas cosas, se fue Jesús al otro lado del mar de Galilea, que es de Tiberias.
2 Y le seguía grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.
3 Subió pues Jesús a un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.
4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la Fiesta de los judíos.
5 Cuando alzó Jesús los ojos, y vio que había venido a él grande multitud, dice a Felipe: ¿De dónde compraremos pan para que coman éstos?
6 Mas esto decía para probarle; porque él sabía lo que había de hacer.
7 Le respondió Felipe: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarán, para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco.
8 Le dice uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:
9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos peces pequeños; ¿mas qué es esto entre tantos?
10 Entonces Jesús dijo: Haced recostar los hombres. Y había mucha hierba en aquel lugar; y se recostaron como número de cinco mil varones.
11 Y tomó Jesús aquellos panes, y habiendo dado gracias, repartió a los discípulos, y los discípulos a los que estaban recostados; asimismo de los peces, cuanto querían.
12 Y cuando fueron saciados, dijo a sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, para que no se pierda nada.
13 Recogieron pues, y llenaron doce cestas de pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada, que sobraron a los que habían comido.
14 Aquellos hombres entonces, como vieron la señal que Jesús había hecho, decían: Este verdaderamente es el profeta que había de venir al mundo.
15 ¶ Y sabiendo Jesús que habían de venir para arrebatarle, y hacerle rey, volvió a retirarse al monte, él solo.
16 Y como se hizo tarde, descendieron sus discípulos al mar;
17 y entrando en un navío, iban cruzando el mar hacia Capernaum. Y era ya oscuro, y Jesús no había venido a ellos.
18 Y el mar comenzó a levantarse con un gran viento.
19 Cuando hubieron navegado como veinticinco o treinta estadios, ven a Jesús que andaba sobre el mar, y se acercaba al navío; y tuvieron miedo.
20 Pero él les dijo: YO SOY; no tengáis miedo.
21 Y ellos le recibieron de buena gana en el navío; y luego el navío llegó a la tierra donde iban.
22 ¶ El día siguiente, la multitud que estaba al otro lado del mar, como vio que no había allí otra navecilla sino una, en la cual habían entrado sus discípulos, y que Jesús no había entrado con sus discípulos en el navío, sino que sus discípulos se habían ido solos;
23 y que otras navecillas habían arribado de Tiberias junto al lugar donde habían comido el pan después de haber el Señor dado gracias;
24 cuando vio pues la multitud que Jesús no estaba allí, ni sus discípulos, entraron ellos en las navecillas, y vinieron a Capernaum buscando a Jesús.
25 Y hallándole al otro lado del mar, le dijeron: Rabí, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?
26 Les respondió Jesús, y dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que me buscáis, no porque habéis visto las señales, sino porque comisteis el pan y os saciasteis.
27 Trabajad no por la comida que perece, sino por la comida que a vida eterna permanece, la cual el Hijo del hombre os dará; porque a éste señaló el Padre, que es Dios.
28 ¶ Y le dijeron: ¿Qué haremos para que obremos las obras de Dios?
29 Respondió Jesús, y les dijo: Esta es la obra de Dios, que creáis en el que él envió.
30 Le dijeron entonces: ¿Qué señal pues haces tú, para que veamos, y te creamos? ¿Qué obras?
31 Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: Pan del cielo les dio a comer.
32 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo: No os dio Moisés pan del cielo; mas mi Padre os da el verdadero pan del cielo.
33 Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que descendió del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 Y le dijeron: Señor, danos siempre este pan.
35 Y Jesús les dijo: YO SOY el pan de vida; el que a mí viene, nunca tendrá hambre; y el que en mí cree, no tendrá sed jamás.
36 Mas ya os he dicho, que aunque me habéis visto, no creéis.
37 Todo lo que el Padre me da, vendrá a mí; y al que a mí viene, no le echo fuera.
38 Porque he descendido del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió.
39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió, del Padre: Que de todo lo que me diere, no pierda de ello, sino que lo resucite en el día postrero.
40 Y esta es la voluntad del que me ha enviado: Que todo aquel que ve al Hijo, y cree en él, tenga vida eterna; y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
41 Murmuraban entonces de él los Judíos, porque había dicho: YO SOY el pan que descendí del cielo.
42 Y decían: ¿No es éste Jesús, el hijo de José, cuyo padre y madre nosotros conocemos? ¿Cómo, pues, dice éste: Del cielo he descendido?
43 Y Jesús respondió, y les dijo: No murmuréis entre vosotros.
44 Ninguno puede venir a mí, si el Padre que me envió no le trajere; y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
45 Escrito está en los profetas: Y serán todos enseñados de Dios. Así que, todo aquel que oyó del Padre, y aprendió, viene a mí.
46 No que alguno haya visto al Padre, sino aquel que vino de Dios, éste ha visto al Padre.
47 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que cree en mí, tiene vida eterna.
48 YO SOY el pan de vida.
49 Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos.
50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que el que de él comiere, no muera.
51 YO SOY el pan vivo que he descendido del cielo; si alguno comiere de este pan, vivirá para siempre; y el pan que yo daré es mi carne, la cual yo daré por la vida del mundo.
52 Entonces los judíos contendían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Cómo puede éste darnos su carne a comer?
53 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Si no comiereis la carne del Hijo del hombre, y bebiereis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros.
54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna; y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida.
56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, en mí permanece, y yo en él.
57 Como me envió el Padre Viviente, 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; no como vuestros padres comieron el maná, y son muertos; el que come de este pan, vivirá eternamente.
59 Estas cosas dijo en la sinagoga, enseñando en Capernaum.
60 ¶ Y muchos de sus discípulos oyéndolo, dijeron: Dura es esta palabra; ¿quién la puede oír?
61 Y sabiendo Jesús en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, les dijo: ¿Esto os escandaliza?
62 ¿Pues qué será, si viereis al Hijo del hombre que sube donde estaba primero?
63 El Espíritu es el que da vida; la carne para nada aprovecha; las palabras que yo os he hablado, son Espíritu y son vida.
64 Mas hay algunos de vosotros que no creen. Porque Jesús desde el principio sabía quiénes eran los que no creían, y quién le había de entregar.
65 Y decía: Por eso os he dicho que ninguno puede venir a mí, si no le fuere dado de mi Padre.
66 Después de esto, muchos de sus discípulos volvieron atrás, y ya no andaban con él.
67 Dijo entonces Jesús a los doce: ¿Queréis vosotros iros también?
68 Y le respondió Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿A quién iremos? Tú tienes las palabras de vida eterna.
69 Y nosotros creemos y conocemos que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo del Dios Viviente.
70 Jesús les respondió: ¿No he escogido yo a vosotros doce, y uno de vosotros es diablo?
71 Y hablaba de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, porque éste era el que le había de entregar, el cual era uno de los doce.
John 6
New American Standard Bible
Five Thousand Men Fed
6 After these things (A)Jesus went away to the other side of (B)the Sea of Galilee (or (C)Tiberias). 2 A large crowd was following Him, because they were watching the [a](D)signs which He was performing on those who were sick. 3 But (E)Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4 Now (F)the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to (G)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?” 6 But He was saying this only to (H)test him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do. 7 (I)Philip answered Him, “(J)Two hundred [b]denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just a little!” 8 One of His (K)disciples, (L)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two (M)fish; but what are these for so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people recline to eat.” Now there was (N)plenty of grass in the place. So the men reclined, about [c](O)five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and (P)after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were reclining; likewise also of the (Q)fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, He *said to His (R)disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve (S)baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Therefore when the people saw the [d]sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the (T)Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Jesus Walks on the Water
15 So Jesus, aware that they [e]intended to come and take Him by force (U)to make Him king, (V)withdrew again to (W)the mountain by Himself, alone.
16 Now when evening came, His (X)disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea (Y)to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 In addition, the sea began getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about [f]twenty-five or thirty stadia, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He *said to them, “It is I; [g](Z)do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22 The next day (AA)the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there except one, and that Jesus (AB)had not gotten into the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had departed alone. 23 Other small boats came from (AC)Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the (AD)Lord (AE)had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats and (AF)came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. 25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “(AG)Rabbi, when did You get here?”
Words to the People
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you (AH)seek Me, not because you saw [h](AI)signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not (AJ)work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for (AK)eternal life, which (AL)the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, (AM)has set His [i]seal.” 28 Therefore they said to Him, “What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is (AN)the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He (AO)has sent.” 30 So they said to Him, “(AP)What then are You doing as a (AQ)sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work are You performing? 31 (AR)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘(AS)He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is [j]that which (AT)comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, always (AU)give us this bread.”
35 Jesus said to them, “(AV)I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me (AW)will never be thirsty. 36 But (AX)I said to you that you have indeed seen Me, and yet you do not believe. 37 (AY)Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. 38 For (AZ)I have come down from heaven, (BA)not to do My own will, but (BB)the will of Him who (BC)sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of (BD)everything that He has given Me I will (BE)lose nothing, but will (BF)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who (BG)sees the Son and (BH)believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will (BI)raise him up on the last day.”
Words to the Jews
41 (BJ)So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that (BK)came down out of heaven.” 42 And they were saying, “(BL)Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (BM)we know? How does He now say, ‘(BN)I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop complaining among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (BO)draws him; and I will (BP)raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written (BQ)in the Prophets: ‘(BR)And they shall all be (BS)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 (BT)Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes (BU)has eternal life. 48 (BV)I am the bread of life. 49 (BW)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that (BX)comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and (BY)not die. 51 (BZ)I am the living bread that (CA)came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, (CB)he will live forever; and the bread which I will give (CC)for the life of the world also is (CD)My flesh.”
52 (CE)Then the Jews (CF)began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (CG)the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will (CH)raise him up on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood (CI)remains in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the (CJ)living Father (CK)sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread that (CL)came down out of heaven, not as (CM)the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread (CN)will live forever.”
Words to the Disciples
59 These things He said (CO)in the synagogue as He taught (CP)in Capernaum.
60 So then many of His (CQ)disciples, when they heard this, said, “(CR)This statement is very [k]unpleasant; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, (CS)aware that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Is this [l](CT)offensive to you? 62 What then if you see (CU)the Son of Man (CV)ascending to where He was before? 63 (CW)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; (CX)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. 64 But there are (CY)some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus (CZ)knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and (DA)who it was who would [m]betray Him. 65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have (DB)told you that no one can come to Me unless (DC)it has been granted him from the Father.”
Peter’s Confession of Faith
66 As a result of this many of His (DD)disciples (DE)left, and would no longer walk with Him. 67 So Jesus said to (DF)the twelve, “You do not want to leave also, do you?” 68 (DG)Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have (DH)words of eternal life. 69 And we have already believed and have come to know that You are (DI)the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “(DJ)Did I Myself not choose you, (DK)the twelve? And yet one of you is (DL)a devil.” 71 Now He meant Judas (DM)the son of Simon Iscariot; for he, (DN)one of (DO)the twelve, [n]was going to betray Him.
