Mark 6
1 He went out from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
And He went forth from there, and came to His own country, and His disciples follow Him,
2 When the Sabbath came, he taught in the synagogue. Many people heard him and they were amazed. They said, “Where did he get these teachings?” “What is this wisdom that has been given to him?” “What are these miracles that he does with his hands?”
and Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were astonished, saying, “From where [did] this One [hear] these things? And what [is] the wisdom that was given to Him, that also such mighty works are done through His hands?
3 “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?” They were offended by Jesus.
Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?” And they were being stumbled at Him.
4 Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”
And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his relatives, and in his own house”;
5 He was unable to do any mighty work, except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
and He was not able to do any mighty work there, except having put hands on a few sick, He healed [them];
6 He was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went around the villages teaching.
and He wondered because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, in a circle, teaching,
7 Then he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits,
and He calls near the Twelve, and He began to send them forth two by two, and He was giving them power over the unclean spirits,
8 and instructed them to take nothing for their journey, except a staff—no bread, no bag, and no money in their belts—
and He commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only—no leather pouch, no bread, no brass in the girdle,
9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
but having been shod with sandals, and you may not put on two coats.
10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, remain until you go away from there.
And He said to them, “Whenever you may enter into a house, remain there until you may depart from there,
11 If any town will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave that place, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony to them.”
and as many as may not receive you nor hear you, going out from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; [[truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in [the] day of judgment than for that city.”]]
12 They went out and proclaimed that people should turn away from their sins.
And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might convert,
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
and they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing many sick with oil, and they were healing [them].
14 King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
And King Herod heard (for His Name became public), and he said, “John the Immerser was raised out of the dead, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.”
15 Some others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets in ancient times.”
Others said, “It is Elijah,” and others said, “It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.”
16 But when Herod heard this he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”
And Herod having heard, said, “He whom I beheaded—John—this is he; he was raised out of the dead.”
17 For Herod sent to have John arrested and he had him bound in prison on account of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), because he had married her.
For Herod himself, having sent forth, laid hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he married her,
18 For John told Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”
for John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother”;
19 But Herodias held on to anger against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not,
and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
20 for Herod feared John; he knew that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. Listening to him made him greatly upset, yet he heard him gladly.
for Herod was fearing John, knowing him [to be] a righteous and holy man, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
21 Then the opportunity came when Herod had his birthday and he made a dinner for his officials, and his commanders, and leaders of Galilee.
And a seasonable day having come when Herod on his birthday was making a banquet to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,
22 The daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced for them, and she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.”
and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those dining with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask of me whatever you will, and I will give to you,”
23 He swore to her saying, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
and he swore to her, “Whatever you may ask me, I will give to you—to the half of my kingdom.”
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask him for?” She said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, “What will I ask for myself?” And she said, “The head of John the Immerser”;
25 She immediately hurried back to the king, and she asked, saying, “I want you to give me, right now, the head of John the Baptist on a wooden platter.”
and having come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, “I will that you may immediately give me the head of John the Immerser on a plate.”
26 Though this deeply grieved the king, he could not refuse her request because of the oath he had made and because of his dinner guests.
And the king, made very sorrowful because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, would not put her away,
27 So the king sent a soldier from his guard and commanded him to bring him John's head. The guard went and beheaded him in the prison.
and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, commanded his head to be brought,
28 He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother;
29 When his disciples heard of this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.
30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus, and they told Him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,
31 Then he said to them, “Come away by yourselves into a deserted place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
and He said to them, “Come yourselves apart to a desolate place, and rest a little,” for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,
32 So they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
and they went away to a desolate place, in the boat, by themselves.
33 But they saw them leaving and many recognized them, and they ran there together on foot from all the towns, and they arrived there before them.
And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognized Him, and they ran there by land from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to Him,
34 When they came ashore, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.
and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He began to teach many things.
35 When the hour was late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place and the hour is already late.
And now the hour being advanced, His disciples having come near to Him, say, “The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,
36 Send them away so that they may go into the nearby countryside and villages to buy something to eat for themselves.”
let them away, that having gone away into the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.”
37 But he answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Can we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”
And He answering said to them, “You give them to eat,” and they say to Him, “Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denarii worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?”
38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five loaves and two fish.”
And He says to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see”; and having known, they say, “Five, and two fishes.”
39 He commanded all the people to sit down in groups upon the green grass.
And He commanded them to make all recline in companies on the green grass,
40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
and they sat down in squares, 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 gave them to the disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed, and broke the loaves, and was giving [them] to His disciples, that they may set [them] before them, and the two fishes He divided to all,
42 They all ate until they were satisfied.
and they all ate, and were filled,
43 They took up broken pieces of bread, twelve baskets full, and also pieces of the fish.
and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,
44 There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the crowd away.
And immediately He constrained His disciples to go into the boat, and to go before [Him] to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He may let the multitude away,
46 When they were gone, he went up the mountain to pray.
and having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
47 Evening came, and the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.
And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land;
48 He saw that they straining against the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he wanted to pass by them.
and He saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.
49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought he was a ghost and cried out,
And they having seen Him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,
50 because they saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said to them, “Be courageous! It is I! Do not be afraid!”
for they all saw Him, and were troubled, and immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, “Take courage! I AM; do not be afraid.”
51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased blowing. They were completely amazed.
And He went up to them into the boat, and the wind stilled, and greatly out of measure they were amazed in themselves, and were wondering,
52 For they had not understood what the loaves meant. Instead, their hearts were hardened.
for they did not understand concerning the loaves, for their heart has been hard.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.
And having passed over, they came on the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
54 When they came out of the boat, the people recognized him immediately,
and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
55 and they ran throughout the whole region and began to bring the sick on their mats to wherever they heard he was.
they ran around through all that surrounding region, and they began to carry around on the pallets those being ill, where they were hearing that He is,
56 Wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or into the country, they would put the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch the edge of his garment, and as many as touched him were healed.
and wherever He was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the marketplaces they were laying the ailing, and were calling on Him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of His garment, and as many as were touching Him were saved.
