Mark 6
1 And He came out thence and comes into His own country; and His disciples follow Him:
Then He went out from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.
2 and it being the Sabbath day, He began to preach in the synagogue: and many hearing were astonished, saying, Whence are these things to this one? and, What wisdom is given unto Him? Such miracles are wrought by His hands.
And when the Sabbath came He began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard were astonished, saying: “Where did this man get these things? What wisdom is this that is given to him? Such mighty works are being performed by his hands!
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? the brother of James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended in Him.
Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And aren't his sisters here with us?” So they took offense at Him.
4 And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his relatives, and in his own house.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown, among his relatives, even in his own house.”
5 And He was not able to do any miracle there, except laying hands on a few sick people, He healed them.
He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 And He was astonished on account of their unbelief. And He went about the villages in a circuit teaching.
And He marveled at their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
7 And He calls the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two; and He gave them authority over unclean spirits.
Then He summoned the twelve and began to send them out, two by two, giving them authority over the unclean spirits as He did so.
8 And He commanded them that they should take nothing for the way except staff only; no valise, no bread, no money in the girdle;
And He commanded them to take nothing for the road, except just a staff—no knapsack, no bread, no coin in the belt—
9 but having put on your sandals: and put not on two coats.
but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10 And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence.
And He said to them: “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11 And whatsoever place may not receive you nor hear you, going forth thence, shake off the dust which is beneath your feet for a testimony unto them.
And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day than for that city.”
12 And having gone out they preached that they must repent;
So they went out and started preaching that people should repent,
13 and they cast out many demons; and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them.
and they were casting out many demons, and anointing with oil and healing many who were sick.
14 And king Herod heard; for His name became known: and said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are wrought in Him.
Now King Herod heard of Him, because His name had become well known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers are at work in him.”
15 And others continued to say, That He is Elijah; and others continued to say that He is a prophet, indeed one of the prophets.
Others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”
16 But Herod hearing said, That, He is John, whom I beheaded; He is risen from the dead.
But when Herod heard, he said: “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself having sent, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: because he married her.
You see, Herod himself had ordered John arrested, 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 not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
—John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn't lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”
19 And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;
So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she couldn't,
20 for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a just and holy man. And consulting him he would do many things; indeed, he would hear him with pleasure.
21 And it being a high day, when Herod on his birthday made a feast to his mighty men, and chiliarchs, and the first men of Galilee;
Then an opportune day came when on his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his courtiers, the military commanders, and the chief men of Galilee.
22 and the daughter of Herodias herself, having come in and danced, and pleased Herod and those sitting with him; the king said to the damsel. Ask what you may wish, and I will give it to you.
When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those reclining with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 And he promised her, I will give you whatsoever you may ask, even unto the half of my kingdom.
He even swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me I will give you, up to half of my kingdom!”
24 And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”
25 And she having come in to the king, immediately with haste asked him, saying; I wish, that you may give to me immediately, the head of John the Baptist in a charger.
Hurrying in directly to the king she requested, saying, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter!”
26 And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.
Though the king became very sorry, because of his oaths and of his guests he did not want to refuse her.
27 And the king immediately sending forth a soldier of his guard, commanded that his head should be brought.
Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded the head to be brought. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And having departed, he beheaded him in prison: and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
brought the head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 And his disciples having heard, came and took his body, and put it in a sepulcher.
Upon hearing of it, his disciples came, removed the corpse and placed it in a tomb.
30 The apostles return to Jesus, and related unto Him all things, even so many as they did, and so many as they taught.
Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and reported all to Him, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31 And He said to them, Come ye privately into a desert place, and rest a little while. For many were coming and going, neither had they leisure even to eat.
Because so many were coming and going that they did not even have leisure to eat, He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.”
32 And they came away into a desert place privately in a ship.
So they went away in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
33 And the multitudes saw them going, and many recognized them, and they ran together thither on foot from many cities, and came before them and came together to Him.
But many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and arrived before them, and came together to Him.
34 And Jesus having come out saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion in their behalf, because they were as sheep having no shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.
Well upon disembarking Jesus saw a large crowd and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and He began to teach them many things.
35 And already the hour being late, His disciples coming to Him, say, That it is a desert place, and the hour is already late:
When it was late in the day, His disciples came to Him and said: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late.
36 send them away, that having gone into the surrounding country and the villages, they may purchase for themselves bread: for they have not what they may eat.
Send them away so they may go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
37 And responding He said to them, You give to them to eat. And they say to Him, Having gone away must we purchase the loaves of two hundred denaria, and give them to eat?
But in reply He said to them, “You feed them!” They say to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and feed them?”
38 And He says to them; How many loaves have you? go and see. And having ascertained, they say, five loaves and two fishes.
So He says to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they knew they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 And He commanded them all to sit down in companies on the green grass.
Then He directed them all to recline in groups on the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, about one hundred, and about fifty.
So they reclined in ‘plots’ of hundreds and of fifties.
41 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, He blessed them; and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples, that they should dispense to them; and He divided the two fishes among all.
And taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to His disciples to serve the people; He also divided the two fish among them all.
42 And they all ate, and were filled;
Well they all ate and were filled.
43 and they took up the fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
And they picked up twelve full baskets of broken pieces; also of the fish.
44 And those eating the bread were five thousand men.
There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
45 And immediately He constrained His disciples to embark into the ship, and go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, until He shall send away the multitude.
Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
46 And having dismissed them, He went away into the mountain to pray.
And after taking leave of them He went up the mountain to pray.
47 And it being evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone upon the land.
Now when evening had passed, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.
48 And He seeing them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them, and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them, walking on the sea; and He wished to pass by them.
And He saw them straining at rowing, because the wind was against them. Well about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the water, and would have passed by them;
49 But they, seeing Him walking on the sea, thought it was a specter, and cried out.
but they saw Him walking on the water, supposed He was a ghost, and yelled!
50 For they all saw Him, and were alarmed. And immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good cheer; I am He; be not afraid.
Because they all saw Him and were terrified. Immediately He spoke with them and said: “Have courage! It is I; don't be afraid!”
51 And He went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly much astonished among themselves, and continued to marvel.
Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were totally astounded within themselves, and kept marveling.
52 For they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
Because they had not understood about the loaves—their hearts had been hardened.
53 And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret; and they disembarked.
After they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesaret and anchored there.
54 And they having come out from the ship, immediately recognizing Him,
When they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,
55 they were running round all that country, and they began to carry the sick on beds, when they heard that He is there.
and running about that whole surrounding region they began to carry about on their pallets those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
56 And when He departed into the villages, or cities, or countries, they placed the sick in the forums, and call upon Him, and continued to intreat Him that they should touch the hem of His garment: and so many as touched Him were saved.
Wherever He entered—into villages, towns, or countryside—they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and they would beg Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment; and all who touched Him were healed.
