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 on the Sabbath he taught in their synagogues, and many who heard him, said with astonishment, Whence has this man these abilities? What wisdom is this which he has gotten? and how are so great miracles performed by him?
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 carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and Judas and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us? And they were offended at 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”;
But Jesus said to them, A prophet is no where disregarded, except in his own country, and amongst his own relations, and in his own house.
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 could do no miracle there, excepting curing a few sick by laying his hands on them.
6 and He wondered because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, in a circle, teaching,
And he wondered at their unbelief. And he went through the neighboring villages 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,

10 And He said to them, “Whenever you may enter into a house, remain there until you may depart from there,
He said also, Whatever house you enter in any place, continue in that house, till you leave the place.
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.”]]
But wheresoever they will not receive you, nor hear you, shake off the dust under your feet at your departure, as a protestation against them.
12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might convert,

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 heard of him, (for his name was become famous) and said, John the Immerser is raised from the dead; and therefore miracles are performed by him.
15 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
Others said, It is Elijah. Others, It is a prophet like those of ancient times.
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 of him, he said, This is John whom I beheaded. He is 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,
For Herod had caused John to be apprehended, and kept bound in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had himself married.
18 for John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother”;
For John had said to Herod, It is not 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,
Now this roused Herodias' resentment, who would have killed John, but could not,
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 respected him, and knowing him to be a just and holy man, protected him; and did many things recommended by him, and heard him with pleasure.
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,
At length a favorable opportunity offered, which was Herod's birthday, when he made an entertainment for the great officers of his court and army, and the persons of distinction in 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,”
For the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced before them, and pleased Herod and his guests so much, that the king said to the young woman, Ask whatever you will, 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.”
nay, he swore to her, Whatsoever you shall ask, I will give it you, were it the 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 withdrew, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? She answered, The head of John the Immerser.
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.”
Her daughter then, returning hastily to the king, made this request: I would that you give me presently in a basin, the head of John the Immerser.
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 much grieved; however, from a regard to his oath, and his guests, he would not refuse her,
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,
and immediately dispatched a sentinel with orders to bring the Immerser's head. Accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the 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 brought his hand in a basin, and presented it to the young woman; and the young woman presented it to her mother.

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,

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 you apart into a desert place, and rest awhile; for there were so many coming and going, that they had not leisure so much as to eat.
32 and they went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
And they retired by ship to a desert place, to be 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,
But many who saw them depart, and knew whither they were sailing, ran out of all the cities, and came together.
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.
Being landed, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them; because they were as a flock which has no shepherd; and he taught them many things.

When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, This is a desert place, and it is now 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.”
dismiss the people, that they may go to the neighboring 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?”
He answering, said to them, Supply them yourselves. They replied, Shall we go and give two hundred denarii for bread, in order to supply 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.”
He said to them, How many loaves have you? Go and see. Upon inquiry, they answered, Five and two fishes.
39 And He commanded them to make all recline in companies on the green grass,
And he commanded them to make all the people recline upon the green grass in separate companies.
40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
And they formed themselves into squares, by hundred 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,
Then Jesus taking the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the multitude. He distributed also the two fishes among them all.
42 and they all ate, and were filled,
When they all had eat and were satisfied,
43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
they carried off twelve baskets full of the fragments of the bread and the fishes.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Now they who had eat of the loaves, 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 immediately he obliged his disciples to embark, and pass over before, toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.
46 and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
And having sent them away, he retired to a mountain to pray.
47 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land;
In the evening, the bark being in the midst of the sea, and he 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.
he observed them toiling at the oar, for the wind was against them: and about the fourth watch of the night, he went to them, walking on the water. and seemed intending to pass by them.
49 And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and cried out.
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 terrified; but he immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I; be not 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,
And having gone aboard to them, the wind ceased, which struck them still more with astonishment and admiration.
52 for they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart has been hard.
for their minds were so stupefied, that they never reflected upon the loaves.
53 And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
When they had crossed, they came to the territory of Gennesaret, where they landed.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
And being come ashore, the people knew 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 ran through all that country, carrying the sick on couches, to every place where 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.
And whatever village, or city, or town he entered, they laid the diseased in the streets, and besought him, that they might touch, were it but a tuft of his mantle; and whosoever touched him, were healed.
