Mark 6
1 And he went forth from thence, and cometh into his own city, —and his disciples follow him.
Then He went out from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.
2 And, when it was Sabbath, he began to be teaching in the synagogue, and, the greater part, as they heard, were being struck with astonishment, saying—Whence hath this man these things?—and—What the wisdom which hath been given to this man?—and—Such mighty works as these, through his hands, are coming to pass!
And when the Sabbath came He began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard were astonished, saying: “Where did this man get these things? What wisdom is this that is given to him? Such mighty works are being performed by his hands!
3 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 with us?—and they were finding cause of stumbling in him.
Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And aren't his sisters here with us?” So they took offense at Him.
4 And Jesus was saying unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his own city and among his kinsfolk, and in his house;
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown, among his relatives, even in his own house.”
5 and he could not, there, do so much as a single mighty work, —save, on a few sick, he laid his hands and cured them.
He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages in a circuit, teaching.
And He marveled at their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
7 And he calleth near the twelve, and began to be sending them forth two and two, —and was giving them authority over the impure spirits:
Then He summoned the twelve and began to send them out, two by two, giving them authority over the unclean spirits as He did so.
8 and charged them that they should take, nothing, for a journey, save a staff only, —no bread, no satchel, no copper, for the belt;
And He commanded them to take nothing for the road, except just a staff—no knapsack, no bread, no coin in the belt—
9 but having bound on light sandals, and not to put on, two tunics;
but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10 and he was saying unto them—Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there, abide, until ye go forth from thence;
And He said to them: “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11 And, whatsoever place shall not welcome you nor hearken unto you, when ye are going forth from thence, shake off the dust that is under you feet, for a witness against them.
And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day than for that city.”
12 And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;
So they went out and started preaching that people should repent,
13 and, many demons, were they casting out, —and were anointing with oil, many sick, and were curing them.
and they were casting out many demons, and anointing with oil and healing many who were sick.
14 And King Herod heard, —for, famous, had become his name; and he was saying—John the Immerser hath arisen from among the dead, and, for this cause, are the powers working mightily in him;
Now King Herod heard of Him, because His name had become well known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers are at work in him.”
15 But, others, were saying—It is Elijah, and, others were saying—A prophet, like one of the prophets!
Others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”
16 But, when Herod heard, he was saying—He whom I beheaded—John, the same, hath been raised.
But when Herod heard, he said: “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”
17 For, Herod himself, had sent and secured John and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, —for, her, had he married,
You see, Herod himself had ordered John arrested, and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her
18 For John had been saying to Herod—It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother.
—John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn't lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”
19 And, Herodias, was cherishing [a grudge] against him, and wishing, to slay him, —and could not;
So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she couldn't,
20 for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, —and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him.
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a just and holy man. And consulting him he would do many things; indeed, he would hear him with pleasure.
21 And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first men of Galilee,
Then an opportune day came when on his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his courtiers, the military commanders, and the chief men of Galilee.
22 when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel—Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee;
When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those reclining with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 and he took an oath to her—Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.
He even swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me I will give you, up to half of my kingdom!”
24 And, going out, she said unto her mother—What shall I ask? and she said—The head of John the Immerser;
So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”
25 And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying—I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
Hurrying in directly to the king she requested, saying, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter!”
26 And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse her.
Though the king became very sorry, because of his oaths and of his guests he did not want to refuse her.
27 And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave orders to bring his head.
Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded the head to be brought. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a charger, and gave it unto the damsel—and, the damsel, gave it unto her mother.
brought the head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 And, hearing of it, his disciples went and took away his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
Upon hearing of it, his disciples came, removed the corpse and placed it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.
Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and reported all to Him, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31 And he saith unto them—Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.
Because so many were coming and going that they did not even have leisure to eat, He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.”
32 And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.
So they went away in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
33 And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, —and outwent them.
But many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and arrived before them, and came together to Him.
34 And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.
Well upon disembarking Jesus saw a large crowd and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and He began to teach them many things.
35 And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:
When it was late in the day, His disciples came to Him and said: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late.
36 dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.
Send them away so they may go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
37 But, he, answering said to them—Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him—Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves, and give them to eat?
But in reply He said to them, “You feed them!” They say to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and feed them?”
38 And, he, saith unto them—How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say—Five, and, two fishes.
So He says to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they knew they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.
Then He directed them all to recline in groups on the green grass.
40 And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
So they reclined in ‘plots’ of hundreds and of fifties.
41 And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.
And taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to His disciples to serve the people; He also divided the two fish among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
Well they all ate and were filled.
43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.
And they picked up twelve full baskets of broken pieces; also of the fish.
44 And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
45 And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, —while, he, was dismissing the multitude.
Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
46 And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray.
And after taking leave of them He went up the mountain to pray.
47 And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land.
Now when evening had passed, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.
48 And, seeing them distressed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, —and was wishing to pass by them.
And He saw them straining at rowing, because the wind was against them. Well about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the water, and would have passed by them;
49 But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;
but they saw Him walking on the water, supposed He was a ghost, and yelled!
50 for, all, saw him, and were troubled. But, he, straightway, talked with them, and saith unto them—Take courage! it is, I—be not afraid!
Because they all saw Him and were terrified. Immediately He spoke with them and said: “Have courage! It is I; don't be afraid!”
51 And he went up unto them, into the boat, —and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished;
Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were totally astounded within themselves, and kept marveling.
52 for they understood not by the loaves, —but their, heart, had been, hardened.
Because they had not understood about the loaves—their hearts had been hardened.
53 And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near.
After they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesaret and anchored there.
54 And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,
When they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,
55 the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.
and running about that whole surrounding region they began to carry about on their pallets those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
56 And, wheresoever he was entering into villages, or into cities, or into hamlets, in the marketplaces, laid they the sick, and were beseeching him, that, only the fringe of his mantle, they might touch, and, as many soever as touched it, were being made well.
Wherever He entered—into villages, towns, or countryside—they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and they would beg Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment; and all who touched Him were healed.
