< Κατα Μαρκον 6 >
1 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
Then Jesus left that place and went to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
2 Καὶ γενομένου Σαββάτου, ἤρξατο διδάσκειν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ· καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες, “Πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα, καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι;
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 Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τέκτων, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας, καὶ ἀδελφὸς Ἰακώβου, καὶ Ἰωσῆτος, καὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ Σίμωνος; Καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς;” Καὶ ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ.
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 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ὅτι “Οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος, εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.”
Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household.”
5 Καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο ἐκεῖ ποιῆσαι οὐδεμίαν δύναμιν, εἰ μὴ ὀλίγοις ἀρρώστοις, ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας, ἐθεράπευσεν.
So he could do no miracles there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 Καὶ ἐθαύμασεν διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν. Καὶ περιῆγεν τὰς κώμας, κύκλῳ διδάσκων.
And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then Jesus went around among the villages teaching.
7 Καὶ προσκαλεῖται τοὺς δώδεκα, καὶ ἤρξατο αὐτοὺς ἀποστέλλειν δύο δύο, καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τῶν πνευμάτων τῶν ἀκαθάρτων.
He summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 Καὶ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν, εἰ μὴ ῥάβδον μόνον, μὴ ἄρτον, μὴ πήραν, μὴ εἰς τὴν ζώνην χαλκόν,
He instructed them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no knapsack, no bread, and no copper money in their belts.
9 ἀλλὰ ὑποδεδεμένους σανδάλια, καὶ μὴ ἐνδύσησθε δύο χιτῶνας.
He told them to wear sandals but not an extra tunic.
10 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὅπου ἐὰν εἰσέλθητε εἰς οἰκίαν, ἐκεῖ μένετε ἕως ἂν ἐξέλθητε ἐκεῖθεν.
He also said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11 Καὶ ὃς ἂν τόπος μὴ δέξηται ὑμᾶς, μηδὲ ἀκούσωσιν ὑμῶν, ἐκπορευόμενοι ἐκεῖθεν, ἐκτινάξατε τὸν χοῦν τὸν ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν, εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.”
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 Καὶ ἐξελθόντες, ἐκήρυξαν ἵνα μετανοῶσιν.
So they went out and preached that people should repent.
13 Καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλλον, καὶ ἤλειφον ἐλαίῳ πολλοὺς ἀρρώστους καὶ ἐθεράπευον.
They also cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
14 Καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης, φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλεγεν, ὅτι “Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ.”
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 Ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Ἠλίας ἐστίν”· ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Προφήτης, ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν.”
Others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16 Ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἔλεγεν, ὅτι “Ὃν ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα Ἰωάννην, οὗτος ἠγέρθη!”
But when Herod heard this, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead.”
17 Αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἡρῴδης, ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν.
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 Ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ, ὅτι “Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.”
For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for yoʋ to have yoʋr brother's wife.”
19 Ἡ δὲ Ἡρῳδιὰς ἐνεῖχεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἤθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο·
So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she was not able to do so.
20 ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης ἐφοβεῖτο τὸν Ἰωάννην, εἰδὼς αὐτὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον καὶ ἅγιον, καὶ συνετήρει αὐτόν, καὶ ἀκούσας αὐτοῦ, πολλὰ ἠπόρει, καὶ ἡδέως αὐτοῦ ἤκουεν.
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 Καὶ γενομένης ἡμέρας εὐκαίρου, ὅτε Ἡρῴδης τοῖς γενεσίοις αὐτοῦ δεῖπνον ἐποίησεν, τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις, καὶ τοῖς πρώτοις τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
But an opportune day came. On his birthday Herod prepared a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the prominent men of Galilee.
22 Καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος, καὶ ὀρχησαμένης ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις. Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τῷ κορασίῳ, “Αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς, καὶ δώσω σοι.”
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 Καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ, ὅτι “Ὃ ἐάν αἰτήσῃς, με, δώσω σοι, ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου.”
He swore to her, “Whatever yoʋ ask me, I will give to yoʋ, up to half my kingdom.”
24 Καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα, εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς, “Τί αἰτήσωμαι;” Ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, “Τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος.”
So she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” Her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 Καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα εὐθὺς μετὰ σπουδῆς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ᾐτήσατο λέγουσα, “Θέλω ἵνα ἐξαυτῆς δῷς μοι ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ.”
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 Καὶ περίλυπος γενόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς, διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἀθετῆσαι αὐτήν.
Although the king was very sad, because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to reject her.
27 Καὶ εὐθὺς ἀποστείλας ὁ βασιλεὺς σπεκουλάτορα, ἐπέταξεν ἐνέγκαι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἀπελθὼν, ἀπεκεφάλισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ,
So the king immediately sent an executioner and commanded that John's head be brought back.
28 καὶ ἤνεγκεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ τὸ κοράσιον ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
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 Καὶ ἀκούσαντες, οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦλθον, καὶ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸ ἐν μνημείῳ.
When John's disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
30 Καὶ συνάγονται οἱ ἀπόστολοι πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησαν καὶ ὅσα ἐδίδαξαν.
Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and told him about all they had done and taught.
31 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Δεῦτε ὑμεῖς αὐτοὶ κατʼ ἰδίαν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον, καὶ ἀναπαύσασθε ὀλίγον.” Ἦσαν γὰρ οἱ ἐρχόμενοι καὶ οἱ ὑπάγοντες πολλοί, καὶ οὐδὲ φαγεῖν εὐκαίρουν.
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 Καὶ ἀπῆλθον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατʼ ἰδίαν.
So they went away to a desolate place in the boat by themselves.
33 Καὶ εἶδον αὐτοὺς ὑπάγοντας, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν πολλοί, καὶ πεζῇ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων συνέδραμον ἐκεῖ, καὶ προῆλθον αὐτούς.
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 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν, εἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, ὅτι ἦσαν ὡς πρόβατα μὴ ἔχοντα ποιμένα, καὶ ἤρξατο διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς πολλά.
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 Καὶ ἤδη ὥρας πολλῆς γενομένης, προσελθόντες αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος, καὶ ἤδη ὥρα πολλή·
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 ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τοὺς κύκλῳ ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας, ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς τί φάγωσιν.”
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 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.” Καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἀπελθόντες, ἀγοράσωμεν δηναρίων διακοσίων ἄρτους, καὶ δώσομεν αὐτοῖς φαγεῖν;”
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 Ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; Ὑπάγετε, ἴδετε.” Καὶ γνόντες λέγουσιν, “Πέντε καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.”
He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Καὶ ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς ἀνακλῖναι πάντας, συμπόσια συμπόσια ἐπὶ τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ.
Then he directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Καὶ ἀνέπεσον πρασιαὶ πρασιαὶ, κατὰ ἑκατὸν καὶ κατὰ πεντήκοντα.
So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 Καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, εὐλόγησεν καὶ κατέκλασεν τοὺς ἄρτους, καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα παρατιθῶσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἐμέρισεν πᾶσιν.
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 Καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν.
They all ate and were filled,
43 Καὶ ἦραν κλάσματα δώδεκα κοφίνων πληρώματα, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἰχθύων.
and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces and of the fish.
44 Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ φαγόντες τοὺς ἄρτους, πεντακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες.
Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Καὶ εὐθὺς ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ προάγειν εἰς τὸ πέραν πρὸς Βηθσαϊδάν, ἕως αὐτὸς ἀπολύει τὸν ὄχλον.
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 Καὶ ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι.
After taking leave of them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 Καὶ ὀψίας γενομένης, ἦν τὸ πλοῖον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ αὐτὸς μόνος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 Καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτοὺς βασανιζομένους ἐν τῷ ἐλαύνειν, ἦν γὰρ ὁ ἄνεμος ἐναντίος αὐτοῖς, περὶ τετάρτην φυλακὴν τῆς νυκτὸς, ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτοὺς, περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ ἤθελεν παρελθεῖν αὐτούς.
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 Οἱ, δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα, ἔδοξαν ὅτι φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀνέκραξαν.
But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out.
50 Πάντες γὰρ αὐτὸν εἶδον, καὶ ἐταράχθησαν. Ὁ δὲ εὐθὺς ἐλάλησεν μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι, μὴ φοβεῖσθε.”
For they all saw him and were terrified. But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”
51 Καὶ ἀνέβη πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος. Καὶ λίαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἐξίσταντο,
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly and completely amazed and in awe;
52 οὐ γὰρ συνῆκαν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρτοις, ἀλλʼ ἦν αὐτῶν ἡ καρδία πεπωρωμένη.
for they did not understand the significance of what had happened with the loaves, because their hearts were hardened.
53 Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἦλθον εἰς Γεννησαρὲτ, καὶ προσωρμίσθησαν.
When they had crossed the sea, they came to the land of Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54 Καὶ ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου, εὐθὺς ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν,
When they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Jesus.
55 περιέδραμον ὅλην τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην, καὶ ἤρξαντο ἐπὶ τοῖς κραβάττοις τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας περιφέρειν, ὅπου ἤκουον ὅτι ἐστίν.
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 Καὶ ὅπου ἂν εἰσεπορεύετο εἰς κώμας, ἢ εἰς πόλεις, ἢ εἰς ἀγροὺς, ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς ἐτίθεσαν τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας, καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα κἂν τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται· καὶ ὅσοι ἂν ἥψαντο αὐτοῦ ἐσῴζοντο.
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.
