Mark 6
1 And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
AND he went out thence, and came into his native country; and his disciples followed him.
2 And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”
And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many when they heard him were amazed, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him, that even such miracles are done by his hands?
3 “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and Judah and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”
Then said Jesus unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his native place, and among his relations, and in his own family.
5 And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
And he could not do there any miracle, except that laying his hands on a few sick persons he cured them.
6 And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.
And he marvelled at their infidelity. And he went about the villages around, teaching.
7 And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
And called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
And he commanded them, that they should take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither scrip, nor bread, nor even brass money in their purse:
9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
wearing sandals, and not to be clothed with two coats.
10 And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a family, there abide until ye depart thence.
11 And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
And as many as shall not receive you, neither hearken to you, when ye go from thence, shake off the dust from beneath your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
And going forth, they preached, that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed them.
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and cured them.
14 And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”
And king Herod heard it (for his name was celebrated), and he said, This is John the Baptist, he is risen from the dead, and therefore miracles are wrought by him.
15 But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”
Others said, That it is Elias; and others said, He is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
But when Herod heard it, he said, This is John whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
For Herod himself had sent and seized upon John, and bound him in prison, for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her.
18 For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
Therefore Herodias bore him a rooted resentment, and would have slain him; yet could not:
20 For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.
for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man; and paid great attention to him and when he heard him, did many things, and heard him with delight.
21 And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.
And a favourable day being come for her purpose, when Herod on his birth-day made a supper for his nobles, and military commanders, and the principal personages of Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
and the daughter of this Herodias coming in, and dancing, and delighting Herod, and his company, the king said to the damsel, Ask me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”
And he swore unto her, That whatsoever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
Then she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? and she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
And she came in immediately with eagerness to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me on the spot, in a charger, the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.
And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oath, and those who sat with him, he would not refuse her.
27 So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
And the king immediately sending a centinel, commanded his head to be brought thither: and he went, and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And he beheaded him in prison, and he brought his head on a platter. And he gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it her mother.
and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.
And when his disciples heard it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
And the disciples came together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and repose a little while: for there were multitudes coming and going, so that they had not even time to eat.
32 And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
And they went into a desert place in a vessel privately.
33 And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
And the multitudes observed them going off, and many knew him, and ran thither on foot out of all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto him.
34 And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
And Jesus, when he landed, saw a vast multitude, and was moved with companion towards them, for they were as sheep having no shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
And when great part of the day was already gone, his disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and much of the day is already gone:
36 Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”
send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
37 And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”
But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat?
38 And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass:
40 And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide.
41 And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
And they did all eat, and were filled:
43 And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 Now those who ate were five thousand men.
And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men.
45 And without delay he urged his disciples to climb into the boat, so that they might precede him across the sea to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.
And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and to go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.
46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
And having bid them farewell, he went into a mountain to pray.
47 And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
And when the evening was come, the vessel was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.
48 And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them, ) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.
And he saw them greatly fatigued with rowing, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and seemed intending to pass by them.
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and screamed out:
50 For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
for they all saw him, and were greatly agitated: and straitway he spoke to them, and said, Take courage, it is I, be not terrified.
51 And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder.
52 For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
For they reflected not upon the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
53 And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.
And when they had passed over, they came to the land of Gennesareth, and went on shore.
54 And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
And when they came out of the vessel, immediately perceiving him,
55 And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
running through all parts of that country, they began to carry about on couches those who were afflicted with diseases, wherever they heard that he was.
56 And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
And wherever they entered into villages or cities, or country places, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if but the fringe on his garment; and as many as touched it, were cured.
