< Mark 6 >

1 And He went forth from there, and came to His own country, and His disciples follow Him,
AND Jeshu went forth from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples adhered to 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 it was shabath, he began to teach in the house of the congregation: and many who heard wondered, and said, Whence to him are these? and what is this wisdom which hath been given him, that miracles such as these by his hands should be done?
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 Mariam, and the brother of Jacub, and of Josi, and of Jehuda, and of Shemun? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with 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 Jeshu said to them, No prophet is despised, unless in his own city, and among his kinsfolk, 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 not do there any miracle, except that upon a few sick he laid his hands, and healed them
6 and He wondered because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, in a circle, teaching,
And he wondered at the defectiveness of their faith. AND he itinerated through the 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,
And he called his twelve, and began to send them two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out.
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 instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 but having been shod with sandals, and you may not put on two coats.
but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics.
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, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence.
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 every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony. And Amen I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for Sadum and for Amura in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
12 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might convert,
And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.
13 and they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing many sick with oil, and they were healing [them].
And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.
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 Herodes the king heard concerning Jeshu, for his name had become known; and he said, Juchanon the Baptizer hath risen from among the dead; therefore works of power are wrought by him.
15 Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from 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 Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from among 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 Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken.
18 for John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother”;
For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother.
19 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she 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.
For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably.
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 there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh, ) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs and the heads of Galila;
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 the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee.
23 and he swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me, I will give to you—to the half of my kingdom.”
And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing 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”;
Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
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 immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
26 And the king, made very sorrowful because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, would not put her away,
And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests, he could not deprive her.
27 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,
But the king despatched at once a sentinel, and commanded that he should bring the head of Juchanon. And he went and cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the bound,
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 (it) in a dish and gave to the damsel, and the damsel herself gave to her mother.
29 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.
And his disciples heard and went, took up his corpse, and laid it in the place of the buried.
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 disciples gathered unto Jeshu, and told him all whatever they had done, and whatever they had 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 and let us go into the desert alone, and rest a little while; for there were multitudes going and coming, (so that) they had not space even to eat;
32 and they went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel 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 many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before 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.
And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many 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 when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great;
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 to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for 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 he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat?
38 And He says to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see”; and having known, they say, “Five, and two fishes.”
But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes.
39 And He commanded them to make all recline in companies on the green grass,
And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage;
40 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
and they reclined in companies, 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 loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all,
42 and they all ate, and were filled,
and they all did eat and were satisfied.
43 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Now they who had eaten 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 immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and to go before him across to Beth-tsaida, while he dismissed the assemblies;
46 and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
and when he had sent them away, he went 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;
BUT when it was eventide, the bark was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone upon 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 that they were distressed with rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night Jeshu came to them walking upon the waters, (as though) he willed to pass by them:
49 And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
but they beheld him walking upon the waters, and thought it was a spectre, and they 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 all saw him and were afraid. But he immediately spoke to them and said to them, Take heart, I am, fear not.
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 ascended to them into the ship, and the wind was still: and they wondered greatly, and were astonished among themselves.
52 for they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart has been hard.
For they understood not from that bread, because their heart was gross.
53 And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesar.
54 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
And when they had gone forth from the bark, the men of the place at once recognised 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 they ran throughout all that land, and began to bring those who were greatly afflicted, bearing them on couchettes, to where they heard 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 entered, into villages and cities, they placed the sick in the streets, and besought from him that they might touch only the edge of his mantle; and all they who touched him were healed.
