< Mark 6 >
1 Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.
AND Jeshu went forth from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples adhered to him.
2 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
And when it was shabath, he began to teach in the house of the congregation: and many who heard wondered, and said, Whence to him are these? and what is this wisdom which hath been given him, that miracles such as these by his hands should be done?
3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mariam, and the brother of Jacub, and of Josi, and of Jehuda, and of Shemun? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with him.
4 Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
And Jeshu said to them, No prophet is despised, unless in his own city, and among his kinsfolk, and in his own house.
5 So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
And he could not do there any miracle, except that upon a few sick he laid his hands, and healed them
6 And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
And he wondered at the defectiveness of their faith. AND he itinerated through the villages, teaching.
7 Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
And he called his twelve, and began to send them two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out.
8 He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics.
10 And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence.
11 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
And every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony. And Amen I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for Sadum and for Amura in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
12 So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.
13 They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.
14 Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
AND Herodes the king heard concerning Jeshu, for his name had become known; and he said, Juchanon the Baptizer hath risen from among the dead; therefore works of power are wrought by him.
15 Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from among the dead.
17 For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
For Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken.
18 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother.
19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not.
20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably.
21 On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
And there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh, ) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs and the heads of Galila;
22 When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
and the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee.
23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing of my kingdom.
24 Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
25 At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
And immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
26 The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests, he could not deprive her.
27 So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
But the king despatched at once a sentinel, and commanded that he should bring the head of Juchanon. And he went and cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the bound,
28 The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
and brought (it) in a dish and gave to the damsel, and the damsel herself gave to her mother.
29 When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
And his disciples heard and went, took up his corpse, and laid it in the place of the buried.
30 Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
AND the disciples gathered unto Jeshu, and told him all whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
And he said to them, Come and let us go into the desert alone, and rest a little while; for there were multitudes going and coming, (so that) they had not space even to eat;
32 So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel by themselves.
33 But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
And many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before him.
34 When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
And when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great;
36 Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
send them away to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.
37 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat?
38 “Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes.
39 Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage;
40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all,
42 They all ate and were satisfied,
and they all did eat and were satisfied.
43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and to go before him across to Beth-tsaida, while he dismissed the assemblies;
46 After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
BUT when it was eventide, the bark was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone upon the land.
48 He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
And he saw them that they were distressed with rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night Jeshu came to them walking upon the waters, (as though) he willed to pass by them:
49 but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
but they beheld him walking upon the waters, and thought it was a spectre, and they cried out;
50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
for all saw him and were afraid. But he immediately spoke to them and said to them, Take heart, I am, fear not.
51 Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
And he ascended to them into the ship, and the wind was still: and they wondered greatly, and were astonished among themselves.
52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
For they understood not from that bread, because their heart was gross.
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesar.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
And when they had gone forth from the bark, the men of the place at once recognised him.
55 and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
And they ran throughout all that land, and began to bring those who were greatly afflicted, bearing them on couchettes, to where they heard that he was.
56 And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
And wherever he entered, into villages and cities, they placed the sick in the streets, and besought from him that they might touch only the edge of his mantle; and all they who touched him were healed.
