Pan de Vida / Bread of Life

Juan 6, 24-35

Cuando la multitud se dio cuenta de que Jesús y sus discípulos no estaban allí, subieron a las barcas y fueron a Cafarnaún en busca de Jesús.

Al encontrarlo en la otra orilla, le preguntaron: "Maestro, ¿cuándo llegaste?".
Jesús les respondió: "Les aseguro que ustedes me buscan, no porque vieron signos, sino porque han comido pan hasta saciarse.
Trabajen, no por el alimento perecedero, sino por el que permanece hasta la Vida eterna, el que les dará el Hijo del hombre; porque es él a quien Dios, el Padre, marcó con su sello".
Ellos le preguntaron: "¿Qué debemos hacer para realizar las obras de Dios?".
Jesús les respondió: "La obra de Dios es que ustedes crean en aquel que él ha enviado".
Y volvieron a preguntarle: "¿Qué signos haces para que veamos y creamos en ti? ¿Qué obra realizas?
Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como dice la Escritura: Les dio de comer el pan bajado del cielo".
Jesús respondió: "Les aseguro que no es Moisés el que les dio el pan del cielo; mi Padre les da el verdadero pan del cielo;
porque el pan de Dios es el que desciende del cielo y da Vida al mundo".
Ellos le dijeron: "Señor, danos siempre de ese pan".
Jesús les respondió: "Yo soy el pan de Vida. El que viene a mí jamás tendrá hambre; el que cree en mí jamás tendrá sed."

John 6, 24-35

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,

they themselves got into boats
and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
And when they found him across the sea they said to him,
"Rabbi, when did you get here?"
Jesus answered them and said,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
you are looking for me not because you saw signs
but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you.
For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."
So they said to him,
"What can we do to accomplish the works of God?"
Jesus answered and said to them,
"This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent."
So they said to him,
"What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?
What can you do?
Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:
He gave them bread from heaven to eat.?
So Jesus said to them,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven;
my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world."
So they said to him,
"Sir, give us this bread always."
Jesus said to them,
"I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst."

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

Cain & Abel

Caín dijo después a su hermano Abel: «Vamos al campo.» Y como estaban en el campo, Caín se lanzó contra su hermano Abel y lo mató. (Génesis 4,8)

Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let us go out in the field." When they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (Genesis 4,8)

Granito de Mostaza / Mustard seed

El reino de los cielos es semejante al grano de mostaza, que tomándolo alguno lo sembró en su campo, el cual a la verdad es la más pequeña de todas las simientes; mas cuando ha crecido, es la mayor de las hortalizas, y se hace árbol, que vienen las aves del cielo y hacen nidos en sus ramas. (Mateo 13,  31-32)

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field, which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and become a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. (Matthew 13, 31-32)
