10 And He said to them, “Whenever you may enter into a house, remain there until you may depart from there,

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 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.”

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.”
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 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
Others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet 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 when Herod heard, he said: “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised 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,
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 you to have the wife of your brother”;
—John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn't lawful 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,
So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she couldn't,
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.
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.

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 swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me, I will give to you—to 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 she, having gone forth, said to her mother, “What will I ask for myself?” And she said, “The head of John the Immerser”;
So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” 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.”
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, made very sorrowful because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, would not put her away,
Though the king became very sorry, because of his oaths and of his guests he did not want to refuse her.
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,

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,
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 went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
So they went away in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
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,
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 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.
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.

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 they may go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
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 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 do you have? Go and see”; and having known, they say, “Five, 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 to make all recline 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 squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
So they reclined in ‘plots’ of hundreds and of 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 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 of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
And they picked up twelve full baskets of broken pieces; also of the fish.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
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,

46 and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
And after taking leave of them He went up the mountain to pray.
47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on 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 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 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 And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, 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 troubled, and immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, “Take courage! I AM; do not be 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 boat, and the wind stilled, and greatly out of measure they were amazed in themselves, and were wondering,
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 has been hard.
Because they had not understood about the loaves—their hearts had been hardened.
53 And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
After they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesaret and anchored there.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
When they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized 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 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 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.
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.
