< Mark 6 >

1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
AND Jeshu went forth from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples adhered to him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
And when it was shabath, he began to teach in the house of the congregation: and many who heard wondered, and said, Whence to him are these? and what is this wisdom which hath been given him, that miracles such as these by his hands should be done?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mariam, and the brother of Jacub, and of Josi, and of Jehuda, and of Shemun? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
And Jeshu said to them, No prophet is despised, unless in his own city, and among his kinsfolk, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
And he could not do there any miracle, except that upon a few sick he laid his hands, and healed them
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
And he wondered at the defectiveness of their faith. AND he itinerated through the villages, teaching.
7 And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
And he called his twelve, and began to send them two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out.
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:
And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics.
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
And every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony. And Amen I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for Sadum and for Amura in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].
And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.
14 And king Herod heard [of him]; (for his name was spread abroad: ) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
AND Herodes the king heard concerning Jeshu, for his name had become known; and he said, Juchanon the Baptizer hath risen from among the dead; therefore works of power are wrought by him.
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from among the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
For Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken.
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not.
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of Galilee;
And there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh, ) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs and the heads of Galila;
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.
and the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee.
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing of my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
And immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests, he could not deprive her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
But the king despatched at once a sentinel, and commanded that he should bring the head of Juchanon. And he went and cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the bound,
28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
and brought (it) in a dish and gave to the damsel, and the damsel herself gave to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
And his disciples heard and went, took up his corpse, and laid it in the place of the buried.
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
AND the disciples gathered unto Jeshu, and told him all whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
And he said to them, Come and let us go into the desert alone, and rest a little while; for there were multitudes going and coming, (so that) they had not space even to eat;
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel by themselves.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
And many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before him.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:
And when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great;
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
send them away to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage;
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all,
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
and they all did eat and were satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and to go before him across to Beth-tsaida, while he dismissed the assemblies;
46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
BUT when it was eventide, the bark was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone upon the land.
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
And he saw them that they were distressed with rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night Jeshu came to them walking upon the waters, (as though) he willed to pass by them:
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
but they beheld him walking upon the waters, and thought it was a spectre, and they cried out;
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
for all saw him and were afraid. But he immediately spoke to them and said to them, Take heart, I am, fear not.
51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
And he ascended to them into the ship, and the wind was still: and they wondered greatly, and were astonished among themselves.
52 For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
For they understood not from that bread, because their heart was gross.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesar.
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
And when they had gone forth from the bark, the men of the place at once recognised him.
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
And they ran throughout all that land, and began to bring those who were greatly afflicted, bearing them on couchettes, to where they heard that he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
And wherever he entered, into villages and cities, they placed the sick in the streets, and besought from him that they might touch only the edge of his mantle; and all they who touched him were healed.
