Mark 6
1 And he went out from there, and came into 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 the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are worked 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, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at 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 without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, 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 there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands on a few sick folk, and 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 marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
7 And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over 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 commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no money, no bread, no money in their purse:
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 not put on two coats.
they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.
10 And he said to them, In what place soever you enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.
"Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;
11 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
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 out, and preached that men should repent.
So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad: ) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in 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 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or 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 when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold on John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for 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 had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.
For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife."
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he 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 when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates 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 when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever you will, and I will give it you.
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, Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give it you, to the 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 forth, and said to her mother, What shall 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 she came in straightway with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that you give me by and by in a charger 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 was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject 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 sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went 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 in a charger, 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 when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, 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 gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told 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 you yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as 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 departed into a desert place by ship privately.
So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and preceded them, and came together to him.
However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward 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 the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
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 round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 He answered and said to them, Give you them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth 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 He says to them, How many loaves have you? 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 commanded them to make 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 when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them 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 did all eat, and were filled.
The two fish also he divided to them all.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, 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 they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
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 when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;
48 And he saw 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 would have passed by them.
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 when they saw him walking on the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and says to them, Be of good cheer: 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 ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,
52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard 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 country, they laid the sick in the streets, and sought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
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.
