John 6:1-15

1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, *xw“This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!” 15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

Juan 6:1-15

1 Después de estas cosas, Jesús se fue al otro lado del mar de Galilea, que es de Tiberias. 2 Y le seguía gran multitud, porque veían sus milagros que hacía en los enfermos. 3 Y subió Jesús a un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. 4 Y estaba cerca la pascua, la fiesta de los judíos. 5 Cuando Jesús alzó sus ojos, y vio una gran multitud que había venido a Él, dijo a Felipe: “¿De dónde compraremos pan para que coman éstos?” 6 Pero esto decía para probarle; pues Él sabía lo que iba a hacer. 7 Felipe le respondió: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarían para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco. 8 Uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro, le dijo: 9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pececillos; pero ¿qué es esto entre tantos? 10 Entonces Jesús dijo: “Haced recostar los hombres.” Y había mucha hierba en aquel lugar; y se recostaron, en número como de cinco mil varones. 11 Y Jesús tomando los panes, habiendo dado gracias, los repartió a los discípulos, y los discípulos a los que estaban recostados; y asimismo de los peces, cuanto querían. 12 Y cuando se hubieron saciado, dijo a sus discípulos: “Recoged los pedazos que sobraron, para que no se pierda nada.” 13 Recogieron, pues, y llenaron doce cestas de pedazos, que de los cinco panes de cebada sobraron a los que habían comido. 14 Entonces aquellos hombres, cuando vieron el milagro que Jesús había hecho, dijeron: Verdaderamente Éste es el Profeta que había de venir al mundo. 15 Y percibiendo Jesús que habían de venir para tomarle por fuerza y hacerle rey, volvió a retirarse al monte Él solo.
