Mark 6
1 And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.
And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended Him:
2 And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?
and when the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?
3 Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against Him.
4 And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.
5 And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.
And He could do no miracle there, only laying his hands on a few sick people He healed them;
6 And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.
and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.
7 And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;
8 And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;
and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:
9 They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.
but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.
And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till ye leave that place.
11 And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.
And whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.
12 And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.
And they went forth, and preached that men should repent.
13 And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.
And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14 And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.
And king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad, ) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.
15 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.
Others said, it is Elias: and others said, it is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, it is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.
For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her:
18 For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.
For John had said to Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;
Wherefore Herodias persecuted him, and would have taken away his life:
20 For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.
but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.
21 And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
But a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,
22 And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.
and dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.
And he gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
And she withdrew and consulted her mother, what to ask: and she said, The head of John the baptist.
25 And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
And immediately she came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.
26 And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.
And the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,
27 And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,
and ordered his head to be brought:
28 And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel carried it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.
And his disciples hearing of it, came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
30 And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.
And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.
And He said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.
32 And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.
And they went away privately in a ship into a desert place.
33 And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.
And the people saw them departing, and many took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto Him.
34 And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.
And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.
35 And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:
And when it was now late in the day, his disciples came to Him, and said, this is a desert place, and it is now late:
36 Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.
dismiss them, that they may go into the country-places and villages round about, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
37 But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?
But He answered them, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.
But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.
And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:
40 And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by fifty.
41 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.
And when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.
42 And they all took of the food and had enough.
And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.
And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full.
44 And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men.
45 And straight away he made his disciples get into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Beth-saida, while he himself sent the people away.
And immediately He obliged his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people:
46 And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer.
and when He had sent them away, He retired into a mountain to pray.
47 And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.
And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone upon the land:
48 And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;
and He saw them labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary: ) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:
But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.
And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.
51 And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;
And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,
52 For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.
for their heart was stupified.
53 And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.
And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:
54 And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,
and when they came out of the ship, immediately the people knew Him, and ran through all the country,
55 And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.
and carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.
56 And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.
And wherever He came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
