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 was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.

but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
10 And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

14 And king Herod heard [thereof]; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.
And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”
15 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets.
But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”
16 But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.
When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.

19 And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;
Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous man and a holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.
For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.

And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
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 swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”
24 And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.
And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.
27 And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
28 and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

31 And he saith 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, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
32 And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.
And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
33 And [the people] saw them going, and many knew [them], and they ran there together on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.
And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.

And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
36 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.
Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”
37 But 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?
And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”
38 And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go [and] see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.
And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
And they all ate and were satisfied.
43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.
And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Now those who ate were five thousand men.
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.

46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:
And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them, ) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.
49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out:
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51 And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;
And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
53 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
