< Mark 6 >

1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
And he went forth from thence, and cometh into his own city, —and his disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
And, when it was Sabbath, he began to be teaching in the synagogue, and, the greater part, as they heard, were being struck with astonishment, saying—Whence hath this man these things?—and—What the wisdom which hath been given to this man?—and—Such mighty works as these, through his hands, are coming to pass!
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, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?—and they were finding cause of stumbling in him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
And Jesus was saying unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his own city and among his kinsfolk, and in his house;
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
and he could not, there, do so much as a single mighty work, —save, on a few sick, he laid his hands and cured them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages in a circuit, teaching.
7 And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
And he calleth near the twelve, and began to be sending them forth two and two, —and was giving them authority over the impure spirits:
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:
and charged them that they should take, nothing, for a journey, save a staff only, —no bread, no satchel, no copper, for the belt;
9 But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
but having bound on light sandals, and not to put on, two tunics;
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
and he was saying unto them—Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there, abide, until ye go forth from thence;
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
And, whatsoever place shall not welcome you nor hearken unto you, when ye are going forth from thence, shake off the dust that is under you feet, for a witness against them.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].
and, many demons, were they casting out, —and were anointing with oil, many sick, and were curing 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 shew forth themselves in him.
And King Herod heard, —for, famous, had become his name; and he was saying—John the Immerser hath arisen from among the dead, and, for this cause, are the powers working mightily in him;
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
But, others, were saying—It is Elijah, and, others were saying—A prophet, like one of the 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 was saying—He whom I beheaded—John, the same, hath been raised.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
For, Herod himself, had sent and secured John and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, —for, her, had he married,
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
For John had been saying to Herod—It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
And, Herodias, was cherishing [a grudge] against him, and wishing, to slay him, —and could not;
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.
for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, —and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen 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;
And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first 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 unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.
when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel—Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee;
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
and he took an oath to her—Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
And, going out, she said unto her mother—What shall I ask? and she said—The head of John the Immerser;
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying—I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
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.
And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse 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,
And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave 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, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a charger, and gave it unto the damsel—and, the damsel, gave it unto her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
And, hearing of it, his disciples went and took away his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.
31 And he said unto them, Come ye 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.
And he saith unto them—Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, —and outwent them.
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.
And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:
And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:
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.
dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
But, he, answering said to them—Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him—Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
And, he, saith unto them—How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say—Five, and, two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
And they fell back, in companies, 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 brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
And they did all eat, and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, —while, he, was dismissing the multitude.
46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land.
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
And, seeing them distressed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, —and was wishing to pass by them.
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
for, all, saw him, and were troubled. But, he, straightway, talked with them, and saith unto them—Take courage! it is, I—be not afraid!
51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
And he went up unto them, into the boat, —and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished;
52 For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
for they understood not by the loaves, —but their, heart, had been, hardened.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near.
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing 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.
the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
And, wheresoever he was entering into villages, or into cities, or into hamlets, in the marketplaces, laid they the sick, and were beseeching him, that, only the fringe of his mantle, they might touch, and, as many soever as touched it, were being made well.
