Κατα Μαρκον 6
1 Και εξήλθεν εκείθεν και ήλθεν εις την πατρίδα αυτού· και ακολουθούσιν αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 Και ότε ήλθε το σάββατον, ήρχισε να διδάσκη εν τη συναγωγή· και πολλοί ακούοντες εξεπλήττοντο και έλεγον· Πόθεν εις τούτον ταύτα; και τις η σοφία η δοθείσα εις αυτόν, ώστε και θαύματα τοιαύτα γίνονται διά των χειρών αυτού;
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? And these miracles which he is doing?
3 δεν είναι ούτος ο τέκτων, ο υιός της Μαρίας, αδελφός δε του Ιακώβου και Ιωσή και Ιούδα και Σίμωνος; και δεν είναι αι αδελφαί αυτού ενταύθα παρ' ημίν; Και εσκανδαλίζοντο εν αυτώ.
Isn’t he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;
4 Έλεγε δε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς ότι δεν είναι προφήτης άνευ τιμής ειμή εν τη πατρίδι αυτού και μεταξύ των συγγενών και εν τη οικία αυτού.
at which Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his home town, and among his own relatives, and in his own home.”
5 Και δεν ηδύνατο εκεί ουδέν θαύμα να κάμη, ειμή ότι επί ολίγους αρρώστους επιθέσας τας χείρας εθεράπευσεν αυτούς·
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands on a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 και εθαύμαζε διά την απιστίαν αυτών. Και περιήρχετο τας κώμας κύκλω διδάσκων.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went around the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 Και προσκαλέσας τους δώδεκα, ήρχισε να αποστέλλη αυτούς δύο, και έδιδεν εις αυτούς εξουσίαν κατά των πνευμάτων των ακαθάρτων,
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
8 και παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς να μη βαστάζωσι μηδέν εις την οδόν ειμή ράβδον μόνον, μη σακκίον, μη άρτον, μη χαλκόν εις την ζώνην,
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey – not even bread, or a bag, or coins in their purse;
9 αλλά να ήναι υποδεδεμένοι σανδάλια και να μη ενδύωνται δύο χιτώνας.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 Και έλεγε προς αυτούς· Όπου εάν εισέλθητε εις οικίαν, εκεί μένετε εωσού εξέλθητε εκείθεν.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there until you leave that place;
11 Και όσοι δεν σας δεχθώσι μηδέ σας ακούσωσιν, εξερχόμενοι εκείθεν εκτινάξατε τον κονιορτόν τον υποκάτω των ποδών σας διά μαρτυρίαν εις αυτούς. Αληθώς σας λέγω, ελαφροτέρα θέλει είσθαι η τιμωρία εις τα Σόδομα ή Γόμορρα εν ημέρα κρίσεως, παρά εις την πόλιν εκείνην.
and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
12 Και εξελθόντες εκήρυττον να μετανοήσωσι,
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 και εξέβαλλον πολλά δαιμόνια και ήλειφον πολλούς αρρώστους με έλαιον και εθεράπευον.
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 Και ήκουσεν ο βασιλεύς Ηρώδης· διότι φανερόν έγεινε το όνομα αυτού· και έλεγεν ότι Ιωάννης ο Βαπτιστής ανέστη εκ νεκρών, και διά τούτο ενεργούσιν αι δυνάμεις εν αυτώ.
Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying – “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
15 Άλλοι έλεγον ότι ο Ηλίας είναι· άλλοι δε έλεγον ότι προφήτης είναι ή ως εις των προφητών.
Others again said – “He is Elijah,” and others – “He is a prophet, like one of the great prophets.”
16 Ακούσας δε ο Ηρώδης είπεν ότι ούτος είναι ο Ιωάννης, τον οποίον εγώ απεκεφάλισα· αυτός ανέστη εκ νεκρών.
But when Herod heard of him, he said – “The man whom I beheaded – John – he must be risen!”
17 Διότι αυτός ο Ηρώδης απέστειλε και επίασε τον Ιωάννην και έδεσεν αυτόν εν τη φυλακή διά την Ηρωδιάδα την γυναίκα Φιλίππου του αδελφού αυτού, επειδή είχε λάβει αυτήν εις γυναίκα.
For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18 Διότι ο Ιωάννης έλεγε προς τον Ηρώδην ότι δεν σοι είναι συγκεχωρημένον να έχης την γυναίκα του αδελφού σου.
For John had said to Herod – “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 Η δε Ηρωδιάς εμίσει αυτόν και ήθελε να θανατώση αυτόν, και δεν ηδύνατο.
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 Διότι ο Ηρώδης εφοβείτο τον Ιωάννην, γνωρίζων αυτόν άνδρα δίκαιον και άγιον, και διεφύλαττεν αυτόν και έκαμνε πολλά ακούων αυτού και ευχαρίστως ήκουεν αυτού.
because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 Και ότε ήλθεν αρμόδιος ημέρα, καθ' ην ο Ηρώδης έκαμνεν εν τοις γενεθλίοις αυτού δείπνον εις τους μεγιστάνας αυτού και εις τους χιλιάρχους και τους πρώτους της Γαλιλαίας,
A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.
22 και εισήλθεν η θυγάτηρ αυτής της Ηρωδιάδος και εχόρευσε και ήρεσεν εις τον Ηρώδην και τους συγκαθημένους, είπεν ο βασιλεύς προς το κοράσιον· Ζήτησόν με ό, τι αν θέλης, και θέλω σοι δώσει.
When his daughter – that is, the daughter of Herodias – came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the king said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
23 Και ώμοσε προς αυτήν ότι θέλω σοι δώσει ό, τι με ζητήσης, έως του ημίσεος της βασιλείας μου.
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him – up to half his kingdom.
24 Η δε εξελθούσα είπε προς την μητέρα αυτής· Τι να ζητήσω; Η δε είπε· Την κεφαλήν Ιωάννου του Βαπτιστού.
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,” answered her mother.
25 Και ευθύς εισελθούσα μετά σπουδής εις τον βασιλέα, εζήτησε λέγουσα· Θέλω να μοι δώσης πάραυτα επί πίνακι την κεφαλήν Ιωάννου του Βαπτιστού.
So she went in as quickly as possible to the king, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
26 Και ο βασιλεύς, αν και ελυπήθη πολύ, διά τους όρκους όμως και τους συγκαθημένους δεν ηθέλησε να απορρίψη την αίτησιν αυτής.
The king was much distressed; yet, because of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
27 Και ευθύς αποστείλας ο βασιλεύς δήμιον, προσέταξε να φερθή η κεφαλή αυτού. Ο δε απελθών απεκεφάλισεν αυτόν εν τη φυλακή
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 και έφερε την κεφαλήν αυτού επί πίνακι και έδωκεν αυτήν εις το κοράσιον, και το κοράσιον έδωκεν αυτήν εις την μητέρα αυτής.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 Και ακούσαντες οι μαθηταί αυτού, ήλθον και εσήκωσαν το πτώμα αυτού και έθεσαν αυτό εν μνημείω.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Και συνάγονται οι απόστολοι προς τον Ιησούν και απήγγειλαν προς αυτόν πάντα, και όσα έπραξαν και όσα εδίδαξαν.
When the apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Έλθετε σεις αυτοί κατ' ιδίαν εις τόπον έρημον και αναπαύεσθε ολίγον· διότι ήσαν πολλοί οι ερχόμενοι και οι υπάγοντες, και ουδέ να φάγωσιν ηυκαίρουν·
“Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” – for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
32 και υπήγον εις έρημον τόπον με το πλοίον κατ' ιδίαν.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 Και είδον αυτούς υπάγοντας οι όχλοι, και πολλοί εγνώρισαν αυτόν και συνέδραμον εκεί πεζοί από πασών των πόλεων και φθάσαντες προ αυτών συνήχθησαν πλησίον αυτού.
Many people saw them going, and recognized them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, and got there before them.
34 Εξελθών δε ο Ιησούς, είδε πολύν όχλον και εσπλαγχνίσθη δι' αυτούς, επειδή ήσαν ως πρόβατα μη έχοντα ποιμένα, και ήρχισε να διδάσκη αυτούς πολλά.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Και επειδή είχεν ήδη παρέλθει ώρα πολλή, προσελθόντες προς αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού, λέγουσιν ότι έρημος είναι ο τόπος και παρήλθεν ήδη πολλή ώρα·
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said, “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 απόλυσον αυτούς, διά να υπάγωσιν εις τους πέριξ αγρούς και κώμας και αγοράσωσιν εις εαυτούς άρτους· διότι δεν έχουσι τι να φάγωσιν.
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Ο δε αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· Δότε σεις εις αυτούς να φάγωσι. Και λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Να υπάγωμεν να αγοράσωμεν διακοσίων δηναρίων άρτους και να δώσωμεν εις αυτούς να φάγωσιν;
But Jesus answered, “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and spend almost a year’s wages on bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
38 Ο δε λέγει προς αυτούς· Πόσους άρτους έχετε; υπάγετε και ίδετε. Και αφού είδον, λέγουσι· Πέντε, και δύο οψάρια.
“How many loaves have you?” he asked, “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Και προσέταξεν αυτούς να καθίσωσι πάντας επί του χλωρού χόρτου συμπόσια συμπόσια.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 Και εκάθησαν πρασιαί ανά εκατόν και ανά πεντήκοντα.
and they sat down in groups – in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 Και λαβών τους πέντε άρτους και τα δύο οψάρια, αναβλέψας εις τον ουρανόν ηυλόγησε και κατέκοψε τους άρτους και έδιδεν εις τους μαθητάς αυτού διά να βάλωσιν έμπροσθεν αυτών, και τα δύο οψάρια εμοίρασεν εις πάντας.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fish also among them all.
42 Και έφαγον πάντες και εχορτάσθησαν.
Everyone had sufficient to eat;
43 Και εσήκωσαν από των κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις και από των οψαρίων.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 Ήσαν δε οι φαγόντες τους άρτους έως πεντακισχίλιοι άνδρες.
The people who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 Και ευθύς ηνάγκασε τους μαθητάς αυτού να εμβώσιν εις το πλοίον και να προϋπάγωσιν εις το πέραν προς Βηθσαϊδάν, εωσού αυτός απολύση τον όχλον·
Immediately afterward Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
46 και απολύσας αυτούς, υπήγεν εις το όρος να προσευχηθή.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 Και ότε έγεινεν εσπέρα, το πλοίον ήτο εν τω μέσω της θαλάσσης και αυτός μόνος επί της γης.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 Και είδεν αυτούς βασανιζομένους εις το να κωπηλατώσι· διότι ήτο ο άνεμος εναντίος εις αυτούς· και περί την τετάρτην φυλακήν της νυκτός έρχεται προς αυτούς περιπατών επί της θαλάσσης, και ήθελε να περάση αυτούς.
Seeing them laboring at the oars – for the wind was against them – about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join them.
49 Οι δε ιδόντες αυτόν περιπατούντα επί της θαλάσσης ενόμισαν ότι είναι φάντασμα και ανέκραξαν·
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 διότι πάντες είδον αυτόν και εταράχθησαν. Και ευθύς ελάλησε μετ' αυτών και λέγει προς αυτούς· Θαρσείτε, εγώ είμαι, μη φοβείσθε.
for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
51 Και ανέβη προς αυτούς εις το πλοίον, και έπαυσεν ο άνεμος· και εξεπλήττοντο καθ' εαυτούς λίαν καθ' υπερβολήν και εθαύμαζον.
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 Διότι δεν ενόησαν εκ των άρτων, επειδή η καρδία αυτών ήτο πεπωρωμένη.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 Και διαπεράσαντες ήλθον εις την γην Γεννησαρέτ και ελιμενίσθησαν.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 Και ότε εξήλθον εκ του πλοίου, ευθύς γνωρίσαντες αυτόν,
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognizing Jesus,
55 έδραμον εις πάντα τα περίχωρα εκείνα και ήρχισαν να περιφέρωσιν επί των κραββάτων τους αρρώστους, όπου ήκουον ότι είναι εκεί.
hurried over the whole countryside, and began to carry about on mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 Και όπου εισήρχετο εις κώμας ή πόλεις ή αγρούς, έθετον εις τας αγοράς τους ασθενείς και παρεκάλουν αυτόν να εγγίσωσι καν το κράσπεδον του ιματίου αυτού· και όσοι ήγγιζον αυτόν, εθεραπεύοντο.
So wherever he went – to villages, or towns, or farms – they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
