Mark 6
1 And he went out thence and came to his own country, and his disciples follow him.
Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.
2 And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence [has] this [man] these things? and what [is] the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands?
When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, 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 offended in him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"
4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not despised save in his own country, and among [his] kinsmen, and in his own house.
So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."
5 And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed [them].
And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.
6 And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching.
And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
7 And he calls the twelve to [him]; and he began to send them out two [and] two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits;
Then summoning the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;
He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;
9 but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats.
they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.
10 And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence.
"Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;
11 And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.
and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."
12 And they went forth and preached that they should repent;
So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.
13 and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
14 And Herod the king heard [of him] (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among [the] dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.
King Herod heard it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."
15 And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
"He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."
16 But Herod when he heard [it] said, John whom I beheaded, he it is; he is risen [from among the dead].
But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."
17 For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife."
19 But Herodias kept it [in her mind] against him, and wished to kill him, and could not:
So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;
20 for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.
but she could not, for Herod was afraid of Johnbecause he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to Johnhe was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief [men] of Galilee;
Then came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading men of Galilee,
22 and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with [him] at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.
at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."
23 And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.
He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.
24 And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.
So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.
25 And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."
26 And the king, [while] made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with [him] would not break his word with her.
Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.
27 And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison,
So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.
28 and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.
29 And his disciples having heard [it], came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
When John’s disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, [both] what they had done and what they had taught.
When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all they had taught.
31 And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.
Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.
32 And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.
So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.
33 And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got [there] before them.
However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.
34 And on leaving [the ship] [Jesus] saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;
Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.
36 send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.
Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 And he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?
In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"
38 And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go [and] see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.
"How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."
39 And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.
Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.
And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples that they might set [them] before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.
42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
The two fish also he divided to them all.
43 And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.
All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.
44 And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
45 And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he sends the crowd away.
Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.
46 And, having dismissed them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
47 And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land.
And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;
48 And seeing them labouring in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.
but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,
49 But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out.
they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
50 For all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good courage: it is I; be not afraid.
But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"
51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered;
Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,
52 for they understood not through the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.
53 And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and made the shore.
When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 And on their coming out of the ship, immediately recognising him,
As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,
55 they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.
and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever they heard he was.
56 And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.
And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.
