Hch. 13:25-33 |
Acts 13:25 – 33 |
|
Por aquellos días, al final de su carrera, Juan decía: ‘Yo no soy el que ustedes piensan; saben que viene detrás de mí uno a quien no soy digno de desatar las sandalias de los pies.’ Hermanos, hijos de la raza de Abrahán, y cuantos entre ustedes temen a Dios: a ustedes ha sido enviada esta palabra de salvación. Los habitantes de Jerusalén y sus jefes cumplieron, sin saberlo, las Escrituras de los profetas que se leen cada sábado; aunque no hallaron en él ningún motivo de condena, pidieron a Pilato que le hiciera morir. Y cuando hubieron cumplido todo lo que estaba escrito respecto a él, lo bajaron del madero y lo pusieron en el sepulcro. Pero Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos. Él se apareció durante muchos días a los que habían subido con él de Galilea a Jerusalén, y que ahora son testigos suyos ante el pueblo. También les anunciamos la Buena Nueva de que la Promesa que Dios hizo a los antepasados la ha cumplido en nosotros, los hijos, al resucitar a Jesús. [BJ-SAOGM] |
In those days, as John was finishing his course, he said, “What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.” Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him. Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead; and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus. [RSV] |

Mc. 6:14-30 |
Mk. 6:14 – 30 |
|
En aquel tiempo, el rey Herodes se enteró de todo esto, pues su nombre se había hecho célebre. Algunos decían: «Juan el Bautista ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y por eso actúan en él fuerzas milagrosas.» Otros decían: «Es Elías»; otros: «Es un profeta como los demás profetas.» Al enterarse Herodes, comentó: «Seguro que aquel Juan, a quien yo decapité, ha resucitado.» Es que Herodes había ordenado prender a Juan y le había encadenado en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, la mujer de su hermano Filipo, con quien Herodes se había casado. Porque Juan decía a Herodes: «No te está permitido tener la mujer de tu hermano.» Herodías le aborrecía y quería matarle, pero no podía, pues Herodes temía a Juan; sabía que era hombre justo y santo, y lo protegía. Cuando le oía hablar, quedaba muy perplejo, y le escuchaba con gusto. Pero llegó el día oportuno, cuando Herodes, con ocasión de su cumpleaños, dio un banquete a sus magnates, a los tribunos y a los principales de Galilea. Entró la hija de la misma Herodías, que danzó y gustó mucho a Herodes y a los comensales. El rey, entonces, dijo a la muchacha: «Pídeme lo que quieras y te lo daré.» Incluso le juró: «Te daré lo que me pidas, hasta la mitad de mi reino.» Salió la muchacha y preguntó a su madre: «¿Qué quieres que pida?» Ella le respondió: «La cabeza de Juan el Bautista.» Entrando al punto apresuradamente adonde estaba el rey, le pidió: «Quiero que ahora mismo me traigas, en una bandeja, la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.» El rey se llenó de tristeza, pero no quiso desairarla a causa del juramento y de los comensales. Así que mandó al instante a uno de su guardia, con la orden de traerle la cabeza de Juan. El guardia fue y le decapitó en la cárcel; trajo su cabeza en una bandeja y se la dio a la muchacha, que a su vez se la entregó a su madre. Al enterarse sus discípulos, vinieron a recoger el cadáver y le dieron sepultura. Los apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y lo que habían enseñado. [BJ-SAOGM] |
At that time, King Herod heard about the fame of Jesus, for his name had become known. He said, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.” But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her. For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee. For when Herodias’ daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it.” And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” And she went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.” And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. [RSV] |
