< Mark 6 >

1 And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
AND Jeshu went forth from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples adhered to him.
2 And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by 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 not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Josi, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" They were offended 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 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own 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 could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and 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 was amazed because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
And he wondered at the defectiveness of their faith. AND he itinerated through the villages, teaching.
7 And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority 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 should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no pack, no money in their belts,
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 to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics.
10 And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence.
11 And if any place will not receive you or listen to you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them."
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 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.
14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work 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 But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from among the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had 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 your brother's wife."
For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother.
19 So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not.
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard 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 then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the leaders 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 when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it 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 ask me, I will give you, up to 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 So she went out, and said to her mother, "What should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."
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 she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
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 was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.
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 So immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
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 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young woman; and the young woman 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 when his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.
And his disciples heard and went, took up his corpse, and laid it in the place of the buried.
30 Then the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had 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 away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
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 So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel by themselves.
33 But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.
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 he came out, saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them 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 when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.
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 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to 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 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something 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 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
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 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage;
40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them 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 They all ate, and were filled.
and they all did eat and were satisfied.
43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd 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 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was 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 He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. In the watch between three and six in the morning he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed 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 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
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. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. 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 got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
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 had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
For they understood not from that bread, because their heart was gross.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesar.
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
And when they had gone forth from the bark, the men of the place at once recognised him.
55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.
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 Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and everyone who touched him were made well.
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.
