Mark 6
1 And He went forth from there, and came to His own country, and His disciples follow Him,
And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.
2 and Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were astonished, saying, “From where [did] this One [hear] these things? And what [is] the wisdom that was given to Him, that also such mighty works are done through His hands?
And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?
3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?” And they were being stumbled at Him.
Is not this the woodworker, 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 bitter against 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”;
And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.
5 and He was not able to do any mighty work there, except having put hands on a few sick, He healed [them];
And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.
6 and He wondered because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, in a circle, teaching,
And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.
7 and He calls near the Twelve, and He began to send them forth two by two, and He was giving them power over the unclean spirits,
And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8 and He commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only—no leather pouch, no bread, no brass in the girdle,
And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;
9 but having been shod with sandals, and you may not put on two coats.
They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.
10 And He said to them, “Whenever you may enter into a house, remain there until you may depart from there,
And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.
11 and as many as may not receive you nor hear you, going out from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; [[truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in [the] day of judgment than for that city.”]]
And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.
12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might convert,
And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.
13 and they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing many sick with oil, and they were healing [them].
And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.
14 And King Herod heard (for His Name became public), and he said, “John the Immerser was raised out of the dead, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.”
And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.
15 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.
16 And Herod having heard, said, “He whom I beheaded—John—this is he; he was raised out of the dead.”
But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.
17 For Herod himself, having sent forth, laid hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he married her,
For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.
18 for John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother”;
For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.
19 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;
20 for Herod was fearing John, knowing him [to be] a righteous and holy man, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.
21 And a seasonable day having come when Herod on his birthday was making a banquet to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,
And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
22 and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those dining with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask of me whatever you will, and I will give to you,”
And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.
23 and he swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me, I will give to you—to the half of my kingdom.”
And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.
24 And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, “What will I ask for myself?” And she said, “The head of John the Immerser”;
And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 and having come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, “I will that you may immediately give me the head of John the Immerser on a plate.”
And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king, made very sorrowful because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, would not put her away,
And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,
And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,
28 and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother;
And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.
And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.
30 And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus, and they told Him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,
And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.
31 and He said to them, “Come yourselves apart to a desolate place, and rest a little,” for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,
And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.
32 and they went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.
33 And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognized Him, and they ran there by land from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to Him,
And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.
34 and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He began to teach many things.
And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.
35 And now the hour being advanced, His disciples having come near to Him, say, “The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,
And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:
36 let them away, that having gone away into the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.”
Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.
37 And He answering said to them, “You give them to eat,” and they say to Him, “Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denarii worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?”
But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?
38 And He says to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see”; and having known, they say, “Five, and two fishes.”
And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.
39 And He commanded them to make all recline in companies on the green grass,
And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.
40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed, and broke the loaves, and was giving [them] to His disciples, that they may set [them] before them, and the two fishes He divided to all,
And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.
42 and they all ate, and were filled,
And they all took of the food and had enough.
43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.
45 And immediately He constrained His disciples to go into the boat, and to go before [Him] to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He may let the multitude away,
And straight away he made his disciples get into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Beth-saida, while he himself sent the people away.
46 and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer.
47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land;
And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.
48 and He saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.
And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;
49 And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:
50 for they all saw Him, and were troubled, and immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, “Take courage! I AM; do not be afraid.”
For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.
51 And He went up to them into the boat, and the wind stilled, and greatly out of measure they were amazed in themselves, and were wondering,
And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;
52 for they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart has been hard.
For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.
53 And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,
55 they ran around through all that surrounding region, and they began to carry around on the pallets those being ill, where they were hearing that He is,
And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.
56 and wherever He was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the marketplaces they were laying the ailing, and were calling on Him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of His garment, and as many as were touching Him were saved.
And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.
