Mark 6
1 Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.
And Jesus departed from there and came to his own city, and his disciples attended him.
2 When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?
And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were stumbled in him.
4 So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."
And Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is little, except in his own city, and among his kindred, and at home.
5 And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.
And he could not there do even one mighty work, except that he laid his hand on a few sick, and healed them.
6 And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
And he wondered at the defect of their faith. And he travelled about the villages and taught.
7 Then summoning the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, two and two; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out.
8 He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;
And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 they were to wear sandals, but not to put on two tunics.
but to be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats.
10 "Wherever you enter a house," he told them, "remain there until you leave the place;
And he said to them: Into whatever house ye enter, there abide till ye leave the place.
11 and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily I say to you, There will be comfort for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment rather than for that city.
12 So they fared forth and summoned men to repentance.
And they went out and proclaimed, that men should repent.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
And they cast out many demons, and many of the sick they anointed with oil, and healed them.
14 King Herod heard it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."
And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to him, and he said: John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead: and therefore it is, mighty deeds are done by him.
15 "He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."
Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."
But when Herod heard of him, he said: He is that John whose head I struck off: he is risen from the dead.
17 Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
For Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken.
18 For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife."
For John had said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to take thy brother's wife.
19 So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;
And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him, but was not able.
20 but she could not, for Herod was afraid of Johnbecause he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to Johnhe was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man: and he observed him, and gave ear to him in many things and did the things, and he heard him with satisfaction.
21 Then came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading men of Galilee,
And there was a noted day, when Herod made a supper, in the house of his nativity, for his nobles and the chiliarchs and the chiefs of Galilee.
22 at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."
And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maid: Ask of me what thou pleasest, and I will give it thee.
23 He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.
And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.
And she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask of him? She said to her: The head of John the Baptizer.
25 So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."
And she soon entered with eagerness to the king, and said: I desire that thou, this hour, give me in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
26 Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.
And it pained the king greatly; yet, on account of the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her:
27 So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.
and the king sent immediately an executioner, and commanded him to bring the head of John. And he went, and struck off the head of John in the prison;
28 And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.
and brought it on a dish, and gave it to the maid; and the maid gave it to her mother.
29 When John’s disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
And his disciples heard of it; and they came and took up the corpse, and laid it in a Sepulchre.
30 When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all they had taught.
And the legates assembled before Jesus, and told him all they had done, and all they had taught.
31 Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.
And he said to them: Come, let us go into a desert by ourselves, and rest a little. For there were many going and coming, and they had not opportunity even to eat bread.
32 So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.
And they went by ship to a desert place by themselves.
33 However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.
But many saw them, as they departed, and knew them; and from all the cities, they ran thither by land before him.
34 So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
And Jesus disembarked and saw great multitudes: and he compassionated them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.
And when the time was advanced, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is advanced.
36 Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."
Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into the villages, and may buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
37 In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"
And he said to them: Give ye them to eat. They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?
38 "How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."
And he said to them: Go, see how many loaves ye have here. And when they had seen, they say to him: Five loaves and two fishes.
39 Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.
And he bid them make the people recline on the grass by companies.
40 And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.
And they reclined, by companies of a hundred, and of fifty.
41 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they divided also the two fishes among them all.
42 The two fish also he divided to them all.
And they all ate, and were satisfied.
43 All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
44 Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
And they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.
And he immediately constrained his disciples to take ship, and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitudes.
46 After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
And when he had dismissed them, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;
And when evening came, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,
And he saw them straining themselves in rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the waters; and he was disposed to pass by them.
49 they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
And they saw him walking on the waters, and they supposed that the appearance was a spectre: and they cried out.
50 But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"
For they all saw him, and were afraid. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Take courage; it is I; fear not.
51 Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,
And he entered into the ship to them; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed, and astonished among themselves.
52 for they had not understood about the loaves; on the contrary their heart was hardened.
For they did not learn by the bread; because their heart was stupid.
53 When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
And when they had passed to the other shore, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,
And when they went out of the ship, immediately the men of the place knew him.
55 and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever they heard he was.
And they ran through all that region, and began to bring forth them that were sick, bearing them on beds to where they heard he was.
56 And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.
And wherever he entered into villages or cities, the sick were laid in he streets: and they besought him, that they might touch but the extremity of his raiment. And all they that touched him, were healed.
