Mark 6
1 And he went forth from thence, and cometh into his own city, —and his disciples follow him.
Then Jesus left that place and went 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!
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? And what is this wisdom that has been given to him, that such miracles are done 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.
Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?” And 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;
Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household.”
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.
So he could do no miracles 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 was amazed at their unbelief. Then Jesus went around among the villages 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:
He summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
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;
He instructed them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no knapsack, no bread, and no copper money in their belts.
9 but having bound on light sandals, and not to put on, two tunics;
He told them to wear sandals but not an extra tunic.
10 and he was saying unto them—Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there, abide, until ye go forth from thence;
He also said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave 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.
If anyone will not receive you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that place, as a testimony against them. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that city.”
12 And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;
So they went out and preached that people should repent.
13 and, many demons, were they casting out, —and were anointing with oil, many sick, and were curing them.
They also cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
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 about this, for Jesus' name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these mighty 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.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16 But, when Herod heard, he was saying—He whom I beheaded—John, the same, hath been raised.
But when Herod heard this, 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,
For Herod himself had sent men to arrest John and chain him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom Herod had married.
18 For John had been saying to Herod—It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother.
For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for yoʋ to have yoʋr brother's wife.”
19 And, Herodias, was cherishing [a grudge] against him, and wishing, to slay him, —and could not;
So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she was not able to do so.
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.
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When Herod listened to John, he would listen to him gladly and do many things.
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,
But an opportune day came. On his birthday Herod prepared a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the prominent 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 came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. So the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever yoʋ wish, and I will give it to yoʋ.”
23 and he took an oath to her—Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.
He swore to her, “Whatever yoʋ ask me, I will give to yoʋ, up to half 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 should I ask for?” Her mother 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.
Immediately the girl came in with haste to the king and made her request, saying, “I want yoʋ to give me at once 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.
Although the king was very sad, because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to reject her.
27 And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave orders to bring his head.
So the king immediately sent an executioner and commanded that John's head be brought back.
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.
The executioner then went and beheaded John in the prison, brought his 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.
When John's disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid 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.
Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and told him about all they had done and 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.
Then he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest for a little while.” For many people were coming and going, and Jesus and his apostles did not even have an opportunity to eat.
32 And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.
So they went away to a desolate place in the boat by themselves.
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.
Now many saw them going away and recognized Jesus. They ran together on foot from all the towns, got there ahead of them, and then gathered around 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.
When Jesus went ashore and saw a large crowd, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So 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 the hour was already quite late, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is desolate, and the hour is now late.
36 dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.
Send the people away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves some 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 Jesus answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”
38 And, he, saith unto them—How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say—Five, and, two fishes.
He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, 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 to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
So they sat down in groups of hundreds and 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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing. He broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to set before the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
They all ate and were filled,
43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.
and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces and of the fish.
44 And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.
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 Jesus compelled his disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, to Bethsaida, while he sent the crowd away.
46 And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray.
After taking leave of them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land.
When evening came, 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.
He saw the disciples straining as they rowed, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and intended to pass them by.
49 But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;
But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out.
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!
For they all saw him and were terrified. But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not 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 utterly and completely amazed and in awe;
52 for they understood not by the loaves, —but their, heart, had been, hardened.
for they did not understand the significance of what had happened with the loaves, because their hearts were hardened.
53 And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near.
When they had crossed the sea, they came to the land of Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54 And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,
When they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Jesus.
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.
So the people ran around throughout the entire surrounding region and began to carry the sick on mats 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.
And wherever he went, to villages, cities, or the countryside, they would lay the sick in the marketplaces and beg him to let the sick touch even the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
