Multiplicación / Multiplication


En aquel tiempo, Jesús se marchó a la otra parte del lago de Galilea (o de Tiberíades). Lo seguía mucha gente, porque habían visto los signos que hacía con los enfermos. Subió Jesús entonces a la montaña y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. Estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los judíos. Jesús entonces levantó los ojos, y al ver que acudía mucha gente, dice a Felipe: «¿Con qué compraremos panes para que coman éstos?» Lo decía para tentarlo, pues bien sabía él lo que iba a hacer. Felipe contestó: «Doscientos denarios de pan no bastan para que a cada uno le toque un pedazo.» Uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, le dice: «Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y un par de peces; pero, ¿qué es eso para tantos?» Jesús dijo: «Decid a la gente que se siente en el suelo.» Había mucha hierba en aquel sitio. Se sentaron; sólo los hombres eran unos cinco mil. Jesús tomó los panes, dijo la acción de gracias y los repartió a los que estaban sentados, y lo mismo todo lo que quisieron del pescado. Cuando se saciaron, dice a sus discípulos: «Recoged los pedazos que han sobrado; que nada se desperdicie.» Los recogieron y llenaron doce canastas con los pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada, que sobraron a los que habían comido. La gente entonces, al ver el signo que había hecho, decía: «Éste sí que es el Profeta que tenía que venir al mundo.» Jesús entonces, sabiendo que iban a llevárselo para proclamarlo rey, se retiró otra vez a la montaña él solo.
Juan 6,1-15

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!” Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
John 6,1-15
