Mark 6
1 And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.
And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2 And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?
And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him.
4 And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.
And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.
5 And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.
And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.
6 And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.
And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.
7 And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.
8 And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse,
9 They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.
But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats.
10 And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.
And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.
11 And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.
12 And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.
And going forth they preached that men should do penance:
13 And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14 And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.
And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest, ) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
15 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.
And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.
Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.
For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
18 For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.
For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;
Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.
20 For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.
For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.
21 And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.
22 And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.
And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.
And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.
And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:
27 And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,
But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.
28 And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.
Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.
And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught.
31 And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.
And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.
32 And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.
And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.
33 And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.
And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.
34 And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.
And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:
36 Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.
Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.
37 But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?
And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.
38 And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.
And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.
39 And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.
And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.
And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42 And they all took of the food and had enough.
And they all did eat, and had their fill.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.
And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.
And they that did eat, were five thousand men.
45 And straight away he made his disciples get into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Beth-saida, while he himself sent the people away.
And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people.
46 And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer.
And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray.
47 And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.
And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.
48 And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;
And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them, ) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.
49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:
But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.
51 And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;
And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:
52 For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.
For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
53 And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.
54 And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,
And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:
55 And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.
And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56 And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.
And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
