Juan 6
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 Después de esto, Jesús fue al otro lado del mar de Galilea, el de Tiberias. 2 Lo seguía una gran multitud, porque veían las señales que hacía en los enfermos. 3 Jesús subió al monte y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. 4 Estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los judíos. 5 Entonces Jesús levantó la mirada y, al ver que una gran multitud venía hacia él, dijo a Felipe: «¿Dónde compraremos pan para que coman estos?». 6 Decía esto para ponerlo a prueba, porque él sabía lo que iba a hacer. 7 Felipe le respondió: «Ni el pan comprado con meses enteros de salario alcanzaría para que cada uno recibiera un poco». 8 Uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, le dijo: 9 «Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pescaditos; pero ¿qué es esto para tantos?». 10 Jesús dijo: «Hagan que la gente se recueste». Había mucha hierba en aquel lugar. Así que se recostaron los hombres, unos cinco mil. 11 Entonces Jesús tomó los panes, dio gracias y los repartió a los que estaban recostados; del mismo modo repartió de los pescados, todo lo que querían. 12 Cuando quedaron satisfechos, dijo a sus discípulos: «Recojan los pedazos que sobraron, para que no se pierda nada». 13 Los recogieron y llenaron doce canastas con los pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada que habían sobrado a los que comieron. 14 Al ver la señal que había hecho, la gente decía: «Verdaderamente este es el Profeta que viene al mundo». 15 Jesús, sabiendo que iban a venir a apoderarse de él para hacerlo rey, se retiró de nuevo al monte, él solo. 16 Al atardecer, sus discípulos bajaron al mar, 17 subieron a una barca y comenzaron a cruzar el mar hacia Capernaúm. Ya había oscurecido, y Jesús todavía no había llegado a ellos. 18 El mar se agitaba por un viento fuerte que soplaba. 19 Cuando habían remado unos cinco o seis kilómetros, vieron a Jesús caminando sobre el mar y acercándose a la barca, y tuvieron miedo. 20 Pero él les dijo: «Yo soy; no teman». 21 Entonces quisieron recibirlo en la barca, y al instante la barca llegó a la tierra adonde iban. 22 Al día siguiente, la multitud que se había quedado al otro lado del mar vio que allí no había habido más que una barca, y que Jesús no había subido a ella con sus discípulos, sino que sus discípulos se habían ido solos. 23 Pero llegaron barcas de Tiberias cerca del lugar donde habían comido el pan después de que el Señor dio gracias. 24 Cuando la gente vio que ni Jesús ni sus discípulos estaban allí, subieron a las barcas y fueron a Capernaúm en busca de Jesús. 25 Al encontrarlo al otro lado del mar, le preguntaron: «Rabí, ¿cuándo llegaste aquí?». 26 Jesús les respondió: «En verdad, en verdad les digo: me buscan, no porque vieron señales, sino porque comieron de los panes y quedaron satisfechos. 27 Trabajen, no por el alimento que perece, sino por el alimento que permanece para vida eterna, el cual les dará el Hijo del Hombre; porque a él Dios, el Padre, le ha puesto su sello». 28 Entonces le preguntaron: «¿Qué debemos hacer para realizar las obras de Dios?». 29 Jesús les respondió: «Esta es la obra de Dios: que crean en aquel a quien él envió». 30 Ellos le preguntaron: «¿Qué señal haces tú, entonces, para que veamos y te creamos? ¿Qué obra realizas? 31 Nuestros antepasados comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: “Les dio a comer pan del cielo”». 32 Jesús les dijo: «En verdad, en verdad les digo: no fue Moisés quien les dio el pan del cielo, sino que mi Padre les da el verdadero pan del cielo. 33 Porque el pan de Dios es el que desciende del cielo y da vida al mundo». 34 Entonces le dijeron: «Señor, danos siempre este pan». 35 Jesús les dijo: «Yo soy el pan de vida. El que viene a mí nunca tendrá hambre, y el que cree en mí jamás tendrá sed. 36 Pero les he dicho que me han visto y no creen. 37 Todo lo que el Padre me da vendrá a mí, y al que viene a mí jamás lo echaré fuera. 38 Porque he bajado del cielo, no para hacer mi propia voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió. 39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió: que de todo lo que me ha dado no pierda nada, sino que lo resucite en el día final. 40 Porque esta es la voluntad de mi Padre: que todo el que ve al Hijo y cree en él tenga vida eterna; y yo lo resucitaré en el día final». 41 Los judíos murmuraban de él porque había dicho: «Yo soy el pan que bajó del cielo». 42 Y decían: «¿No es este Jesús, el hijo de José, cuyo padre y cuya madre conocemos? ¿Cómo dice ahora: “He bajado del cielo”?». 43 Jesús les respondió: «No murmuren entre ustedes. 44 Nadie puede venir a mí si el Padre que me envió no lo atrae; y yo lo resucitaré en el día final. 45 Está escrito en los profetas: “Todos serán enseñados por Dios”. Todo el que ha oído al Padre y ha aprendido viene a mí. 46 No es que alguien haya visto al Padre, sino aquel que viene de Dios; ese ha visto al Padre. 47 En verdad, en verdad les digo: el que cree tiene vida eterna. 48 Yo soy el pan de vida. 49 Sus antepasados comieron el maná en el desierto y murieron. 50 Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que quien coma de él no muera. 51 Yo soy el pan vivo que bajó del cielo. Si alguien come de este pan, vivirá para siempre. Y el pan que yo daré es mi carne, por la vida del mundo». 52 Entonces los judíos discutían entre sí, diciendo: «¿Cómo puede este darnos a comer su carne?». 53 Jesús les dijo: «En verdad, en verdad les digo: si no comen la carne del Hijo del Hombre y beben su sangre, no tienen vida en ustedes mismos. 54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre tiene vida eterna, y yo lo resucitaré en el día final. 55 Porque mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida. 56 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre permanece en mí, y yo en él. 57 Así como me envió el Padre viviente, y yo vivo por el Padre, así también el que se alimenta de mí vivirá por mí. 58 Este es el pan que bajó del cielo. No es como lo que comieron los antepasados, que murieron; el que come este pan vivirá para siempre». 59 Dijo estas cosas mientras enseñaba en una sinagoga en Capernaúm. 60 Al oírlo, muchos de sus discípulos dijeron: «Dura es esta palabra. ¿Quién puede escucharla?». 61 Jesús, sabiendo en sí mismo que sus discípulos murmuraban de esto, les dijo: «¿Esto los hace tropezar? 62 ¿Y si ven al Hijo del Hombre subir adonde estaba antes? 63 El Espíritu es el que da vida; la carne no sirve de nada. Las palabras que les he hablado son espíritu y son vida. 64 Pero hay algunos entre ustedes que no creen». Porque Jesús sabía desde el principio quiénes eran los que no creían y quién era el que lo iba a entregar. 65 Y decía: «Por esto les he dicho que nadie puede venir a mí si no le ha sido concedido por el Padre». 66 Desde entonces, muchos de sus discípulos se volvieron atrás y ya no caminaban con él. 67 Entonces Jesús preguntó a los doce: «¿También ustedes quieren irse?». 68 Simón Pedro le respondió: «Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. 69 Y nosotros hemos creído y hemos llegado a conocer que tú eres el Santo de Dios». 70 Jesús les respondió: «¿No los he elegido yo a ustedes, los doce? Y uno de ustedes es un diablo». 71 Hablaba de Judas, hijo de Simón Iscariote, porque este iba a entregarlo, siendo uno de los doce.

Juan 6:3
Joh 6:1-13. Five Thousand Miraculously Fed.
(See on Mr 6:31-44).
3. a mountain--somewhere in that hilly range which skirts the east side of the lake.
Juan 6:4
4. passover ... was nigh--but for the reason mentioned (Joh 7:1), Jesus kept away from it, remaining in Galilee.
Joh 6:14-21. Jesus Walks on the Sea.
(Also see on Mr 6:45-56).
Juan 6:14-15
14-15. that prophet--(See on Joh 1:21).
Juan 6:16-17
16-17. when even was come--(See on Mr 6:35).
entered into a ship--"constrained" to do so by their Master (Mt 14:22; Mr 6:45), in order to put an end to the misdirected excitement in His favor (Joh 6:15), into which the disciples themselves may have been somewhat drawn. The word "constrained" implies reluctance on their part, perhaps from unwillingness to part with their Master and embark at night, leaving Him alone on the mountain.
went--rather, "were proceeding."
toward Capernaum--Mark says (Mr 6:45), "unto Bethsaida," meaning "Bethsaida of Galilee" (Joh 12:21), on the west side of the lake. The place they left was of the same name (see on Mr 6:32).
Jesus was not come to them--They probably lingered in hopes of His still joining them, and so let the darkness come on.
Juan 6:18-19
18-19. sea arose, &c.--and they were "now in the midst of it" (Mt 14:24). Mark adds the graphic and touching particular, "He saw them toiling in rowing" (Mr 6:48), putting forth all their strength to buffet the waves and bear on against a head wind, but to little effect. He saw this from His mountain-top, and through the darkness of the night, for His heart was all with them; yet would He not go to their relief till His own time came.
Juan 6:20
Juan 6:21
21. willingly received him into the ship--their first fears being now converted into wonder and delight.
and immediately the ship was at the land--This additional miracle, for as such it is manifestly related, is recorded here alone. Yet all that is meant seems to be that as the storm was suddenly calmed, so the little bark--propelled by the secret power of the Lord of Nature now sailing in it--glided through the now unruffled waters, and while they were wrapt in wonder at what had happened, not heeding their rapid motion, was found at port, to their still further surprise.
Juan 6:22-24
Joh 6:22-71. Jesus Followed by the Multitudes to Capernaum, Discourses to Them in the Synagogue of the Bread of Life--Effect of This on Two Classes of the Disciples.
22-24. These verses are a little involved, from the Evangelist's desire to mention every circumstance, however minute, that might call up the scene as vividly to the reader as it stood before his own view.
The day following--the miracle of the loaves, and the stormy night; the day on which they landed at Capernaum.
the people which stood on the other side of the sea--not the whole multitude that had been fed, but only such of them as remained over night about the shore, that is, on the east side of the lake; for we are supposed to have come, with Jesus and His disciples in the ship, to the west side, to Capernaum.
saw that there was none other boat there, &c.--The meaning is, the people had observed that there had been only one boat on the east side where they were; namely, the one in which the disciples had crossed at night to the other, the west side, and they had also observed that Jesus had not gone on board that boat, but His disciples had put off without Him:
Juan 6:25
25. when they had found him on the other side--at Capernaum.
they said, &c.--astonished at His being there, and wondering how He could have accomplished it, whether by land or water, and when He came; for being quite unaware of His having walked upon the sea and landed with the disciples in the ship, they could not see how, unless He had travelled all night round the head of the lake alone, He could have reached Capernaum, and even then, how He could have arrived before themselves.
Juan 6:26
26. Ye seek me, &c.--Jesus does not put them through their difficulty, says nothing of His treading on the waves of the sea, nor even notices their question, but takes advantage of the favorable moment for pointing out to them how forward, flippant, and superficial were their views, and how low their desires. "Ye seek Me not because ye saw the miracles"--literally, "the signs," that is, supernatural tokens of a higher presence, and a divine commission, "but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled." From this He proceeds at once to that other Bread, just as, with the woman of Samaria, to that other Water (Joh 4:9-15). We should have supposed all that follows to have been delivered by the wayside, or wherever they happened first to meet. But from Joh 6:59 we gather that they had probably met about the door of the synagogue--"for that was the day in which they assembled in their synagogues" [Lightfoot]--and that on being asked, at the close of the service, if He had any word of exhortation to the people, He had taken the two breads, the perishing and the living bread, for the subject of His profound and extraordinary discourse.
Juan 6:27
27. which the Son of man--taking that title of Himself which denoted His incarnate life.
shall give unto you--in the sense of Joh 6:51.
him hath God the Father sealed--marked out and authenticated for that transcendent office, to impart to the world the bread of an everlasting life, and this in the character of "the Son of man."
Juan 6:28-31
28-31. What shall we do ... the works of God--such works as God will approve. Different answers may be given to such a question, according to the spirit which prompts the inquiry. (See Ho 6:6-8; Lu 3:12-14). Here our Lord, knowing whom He had to deal with, shapes His reply accordingly.
Juan 6:32-33
32-33. Moses gave you not, &c.--"It was not Moses that gave you the manna, and even it was but from the lower heavens; 'but My Father giveth you the true bread,' and that 'from heaven.'"
Juan 6:34
Juan 6:35
35. I am the bread of life--Henceforth the discourse is all in the first person, "I," "Me," which occur in one form or other, as Stier reckons, thirty-five times.
he that cometh to me--to obtain what the soul craves, and as the only all-sufficient and ordained source of supply.
hunger ... thirst--shall have conscious and abiding satisfaction.
Juan 6:36
36. But ... ye have seen me, and believe not--seen Him not in His mere bodily presence, but in all the majesty of His life, His teaching, His works.
Juan 6:37-40
37-40. All that, &c.--This comprehensive and very grand passage is expressed with a peculiar artistic precision. The opening general statement (Joh 6:37) consists of two members: (1) "All that the Father Giveth me shall come to me"--that is, "Though ye, as I told you, have no faith in Me, My errand into the world shall in no wise be defeated; for all that the Father giveth Me shall infallibly come to Me." Observe, what is given Him by the Father is expressed in the singular number and neuter gender--literally, "everything"; while those who come to Him are put in the masculine gender and singular number--"every one." The whole mass, so to speak, is gifted by the Father to the Son as a unity, which the Son evolves, one by one, in the execution of His trust. So Joh 17:2, "that He should give eternal life to all that which Thou hast given Him" [Bengel]. This "shall" expresses the glorious certainty of it, the Father being pledged to see to it that the gift be no empty mockery. (2) "And him that cometh to me I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT." As the former was the divine, this is just the human side of the same thing. True, the "coming" ones of the second clause are just the "given" ones of the first. But had our Lord merely said, "When those that have been given Me of My Father shall come to Me, I will receive them"--besides being very flat, the impression conveyed would have been quite different, sounding as if there were no other laws in operation, in the movement of sinners to Christ, but such as are wholly divine and inscrutable to us; whereas, though He does speak of it as a sublime certainty which men's refusals cannot frustrate, He speaks of that certainty as taking effect only by men's voluntary advances to Him and acceptance of Him--"Him that cometh to Me," "whosoever will," throwing the door wide open. Only it is not the simply willing, but the actually coming, whom He will not cast out; for the word here employed usually denotes arrival, as distinguished from the ordinary word, which rather expresses the act of coming (see Joh 8:42, Greek), [Webster and Wilkinson]. "In no wise" is an emphatic negative, to meet the fears of the timid (as in Re 21:27, to meet the presumption of the hardened). These, then, being the two members of the general opening statement, what follows is meant to take in both,
Juan 6:41-46
41-46. Jews murmured--muttered, not in our Lord's hearing, but He knew it (Joh 6:43; Joh 2:25).
he said, I am the bread, &c.--Missing the sense and glory of this, and having no relish for such sublimities, they harp upon the "Bread from heaven." "What can this mean? Do we not know all about Him--where, when, and of whom He was born? And yet He says He came down from heaven!"
Juan 6:47-51
Juan 6:52
52. Jews strove among themselves--arguing the point together.
How can, &c.--that is, Give us His flesh to eat? Absurd.
Juan 6:53-58
53-58. Except ye eat the flesh ... and drink the blood ... no life, &c.--The harshest word He had yet uttered in their ears. They asked how it was possible to eat His flesh. He answers, with great solemnity, "It is indispensable." Yet even here a thoughtful hearer might find something to temper the harshness. He says they must not only "eat His flesh" but "drink His blood," which could not but suggest the idea of His death--implied in the separation of one's flesh from his blood. And as He had already hinted that it was to be something very different from a natural death, saying, "My flesh I will give for the life of the world" (Joh 6:51), it must have been pretty plain to candid hearers that He meant something above the gross idea which the bare terms expressed. And farther, when He added that they "had no life in them unless they thus ate and drank," it was impossible they should think He meant that the temporal life they were then living was dependent on their eating and drinking, in this gross sense, His flesh and blood. Yet the whole statement was certainly confounding, and beyond doubt was meant to be so. Our Lord had told them that in spite of all they had "seen" in Him, they "did not believe" (Joh 6:36). For their conviction therefore he does not here lay Himself out; but having the ear not only of them but of the more candid and thoughtful in the crowded synagogue, and the miracle of the loaves having led up to the most exalted of all views of His Person and Office, He takes advantage of their very difficulties and objections to announce, for all time, those most profound truths which are here expressed, regardless of the disgust of the unteachable, and the prejudices even of the most sincere, which His language would seem only designed to deepen. The truth really conveyed here is no other than that expressed in Joh 6:51, though in more emphatic terms--that He Himself, in the virtue of His sacrificial death, is the spiritual and eternal life of men; and that unless men voluntarily appropriate to themselves this death, in its sacrificial virtue, so as to become the very life and nourishment of their inner man, they have no spiritual and eternal life at all. Not as if His death were the only thing of value, but it is what gives all else in Christ's Incarnate Person, Life, and Office, their whole value to us sinners.
Juan 6:59
59. These things said he in the synagogue--which seems to imply that what follows took place after the congregation had broken up.
Juan 6:60-65
60-65. Many ... of his disciples--His pretty constant followers, though an outer circle of them.
hard saying--not merely harsh, but insufferable, as the word often means in the Old Testament.
who can hear--submit to listen to it.
Juan 6:66-71
66-71. From that time, &c.--or, in consequence of this. Those last words of our Lord seemed to have given them the finishing stroke--they could not stand it any longer.
walked no more--Many a journey, it may be, they had taken with Him, but now they gave Him up finally!
