< Mark 6 >

1 And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended 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 the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?
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 Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against 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."
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.
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 do no miracle there, only laying his hands on a few sick people He healed them;
6 And he was amazed because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, 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 calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;
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 ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:
9 but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till ye leave that place.
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 whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.
12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
And they went forth, and preached that men should repent.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
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 king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad, ) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.
15 But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
Others said, it is Elias: and others said, it is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, it is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from 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 Herod had sent and seized John, 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 your brother's wife."
For John had said to Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
Wherefore Herodias persecuted him, and would have taken away his life:
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.
but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.
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.
But a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,
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 dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
And he gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even to the half 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."
And she withdrew and consulted her mother, what to ask: and she said, The head of John the baptist.
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 came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.
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 the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,
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,
and ordered his head to be brought:
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 he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel carried it 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 hearing of it, came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
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 apostles came together to Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what 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 ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.
32 So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
And they went away privately in a ship into a desert place.
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 the people saw them departing, and many took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto 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 when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a 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 it was now late in the day, his disciples came to Him, and said, this is a desert place, and it is now late:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."
dismiss them, that they may go into the country-places and villages round about, and buy 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 answered them, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, 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 saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:
40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by fifty.
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 when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.
42 They all ate, and were filled.
And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.
43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full.
44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
And they that had eaten were about 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 obliged his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people:
46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
and when He had sent them away, He retired into 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.
And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He 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 labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary: ) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed 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 seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.
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."
And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.
51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,
52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
for their heart was stupified.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
and when they came out of the ship, immediately the people knew Him, and ran through all the country,
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 carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard 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 came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
