When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3 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 not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.
Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
5 And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.
He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.

10 And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.
He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 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.
Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12 And going forth they preached that men should do penance:

14 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.
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “Yochanan the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
15 And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
16 Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.
But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
17 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.
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18 For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
For Yochanan had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.
Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
20 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.
for Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
21 And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.
He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24 Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.
She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of Yochanan the Immerser.”
25 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.
She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of Yochanan the Immerser on a platter.”
26 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:
The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
27 But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.
Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring Yochanan’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 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.

31 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.
He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.
They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33 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.
They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.

36 Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37 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.
But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.

45 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 when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray.

47 And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.

48 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.
Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
49 But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 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.
for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:
He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
52 For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54 And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.

Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
