< Mark 6 >

1 And He came out thence and comes into His own country; and His disciples follow Him:
And he departed thence, and came into his owne countrey, 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 was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue, and many that heard him, were astonied, and sayd, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdome is this that is giuen vnto him, that euen such great workes are done 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.
Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in 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.
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, and 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.
And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, 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 marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, 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.
And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits,
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 commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles:
9 but having put on your sandals: and put not on two coats.
But that they should be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coates.
10 And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence.
And he sayd vnto them, Wheresoeuer ye shall enter into an house, there abide till ye depart thence.
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 whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is vnder your feete, for a witnes vnto them. Verely I say vnto you, It shalbe easier for Sodom, or Gomorrha at the day of iudgement, then for that citie.

And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their liues.

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.
Then King Herod heard of him (for his name was made manifest) and sayd, Iohn Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by 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.
Other sayd, It is Elias, and some sayd, It is a Prophet, or as one of those Prophets.
16 But Herod hearing said, That, He is John, whom I beheaded; He is risen from the dead.
So when Herod heard it, he said, It is Iohn whom I beheaded: he is risen 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.
For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her.
18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife.
19 And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;
Therefore Herodias layd waite against him, and would haue killed him, but she could not:
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.
For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that hee was a iust man, and an holy, and reuerenced him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
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;
But the time being conuenient, when Herod on his birth day made a banket to his princes and captaines, and chiefe estates of Galile:
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.
And the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and daunced, and pleased Herod, and them that sate at table together, the King sayd vnto the mayde, Aske of me what thou wilt, and I will giue it thee.
23 And he promised her, I will give you whatsoever you may ask, even unto the half of my kingdom.
And he sware vnto her, Whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I will giue it thee, euen vnto the halfe of my kingdome.
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 forth, and said to her mother, What shall I aske? And she said, Iohn Baptists head.
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.
Then she came in straightway with haste vnto the King, and asked, saying, I would that thou shouldest giue me euen now in a charger the head of Iohn Baptist.
26 And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.
Then the King was very sory: yet for his othes sake, and for their sakes which sate at table with him, he would not refuse her.
27 And the king immediately sending forth a soldier of his guard, commanded that his head should be brought.
And immediatly the King sent the hangman, and gaue charge that his head shoulde be brought in. 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.
And brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the maide, and the maide gaue it to her mother.
29 And his disciples having heard, came and took his body, and put it in a sepulcher.
And when his disciples heard it, they came and tooke vp his body, and put it in a tombe.
30 The apostles return to Jesus, and related unto Him all things, even so many as they did, and so many as they taught.
And the Apostles gathered themselues together to Iesus, and tolde him all things, 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.
And he sayd vnto them, Come ye apart into the wildernes, and rest a while: for there were many commers and goers, that they had not leasure to eate.
32 And they came away into a desert place privately in a ship.
So they went by ship out of the way into a desart 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 the people sawe them when they departed, and many knewe him, and ran a foote thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and assembled vnto 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.
Then Iesus went out, and sawe a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheepe which had no shepheard: 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:
And when the day was nowe farre spent, his disciples came vnto him, saying, This is a desart place, and nowe the day is farre passed.
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.
Let them depart, that they may goe into the countrey and townes about, and buy them bread: for they haue nothing to eate.
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 he answered, and said vnto them, Giue yee them to eate. And they said vnto him, Shall we goe, and buy two hundreth peny worth of bread, and giue them to eate?
38 And He says to them; How many loaves have you? go and see. And having ascertained, they say, five loaves and two fishes.
Then he sayde vnto them, Howe many loaues haue ye? goe and looke. And when they knewe it, they sayd, Fiue, and two fishes.
39 And He commanded them all to sit down in companies on the green grass.
So he commanded them to make them all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse.
40 And they sat down in ranks, about one hundred, and about fifty.
Then they sate downe by rowes, by hundreds, and by 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 he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and gaue thanks, and brake the loaues, and gaue them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he deuided among them all.
42 And they all ate, and were filled;
So they did all eate, and were satisfied.
43 and they took up the fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
And they tooke vp twelue baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And those eating the bread were five thousand men.
And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men.
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.
And straightway he caused his disciples to goe into the ship, and to goe before vnto the other side vnto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46 And having dismissed them, He went away into the mountain to pray.
Then assoone as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountaine to pray.
47 And it being evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone upon the land.
And when euen was come, the ship was in the mids of the sea, and he 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 troubled in rowing, (for the winde was contrary vnto them) and about the fourth watch of the night, hee came vnto them, walking vpon the sea, and would haue passed by them.
49 But they, seeing Him walking on the sea, thought it was a specter, and cried out.
And when they saw him walking vpon the sea, they supposed it had bene a spirit, and cried out.
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.
For they all saw him, and were sore afrayd: but anon he talked with them, and said vnto them, Be ye of good comfort: it is I, be not afrayd.
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 went vp vnto them into the ship, and the winde ceased, and they were much more amased in them selues, and marueiled.
52 For they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
For they had not considered the matter of the loaues, because their hearts were hardened.
53 And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret; and they disembarked.
And they came ouer, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arriued.
54 And they having come out from the ship, immediately recognizing Him,
So when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knewe 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 ran about throughout all that region round about, and began to cary hither and thither in couches all that were sicke, where they heard that 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.
And whithersoeuer he entred into townes, or cities, or villages, they laide their sicke in the streetes, and prayed him that they might touch at the least the edge of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.
