< Mark 6 >

1 And he went forth from thence, and cometh into his own city, —and his disciples follow him.
And He went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples attended Him:
2 And, when it was Sabbath, he began to be teaching in the synagogue, and, the greater part, as they heard, were being struck with astonishment, saying—Whence hath this man these things?—and—What the wisdom which hath been given to this man?—and—Such mighty works as these, through his hands, are coming to pass!
and when the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?
3 Is not, this, the carpenter? the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?—and they were finding cause of stumbling in him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against Him.
4 And Jesus was saying unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his own city and among his kinsfolk, and in his house;
But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is nowhere less honoured, than in his own country, and among his relations, and his own family.
5 and he could not, there, do so much as a single mighty work, —save, on a few sick, he laid his hands and cured them.
And He could do no miracle there, only laying his hands on a few sick people He healed them;
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages in a circuit, teaching.
and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.
7 And he calleth near the twelve, and began to be sending them forth two and two, —and was giving them authority over the impure spirits:
And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits;
8 and charged them that they should take, nothing, for a journey, save a staff only, —no bread, no satchel, no copper, for the belt;
and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse:
9 but having bound on light sandals, and not to put on, two tunics;
but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 and he was saying unto them—Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there, abide, until ye go forth from thence;
And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till ye leave that place.
11 And, whatsoever place shall not welcome you nor hearken unto you, when ye are going forth from thence, shake off the dust that is under you feet, for a witness against them.
And whosoever will 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 or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.
12 And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;
And they went forth, and preached that men should repent.
13 and, many demons, were they casting out, —and were anointing with oil, many sick, and were curing them.
And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14 And King Herod heard, —for, famous, had become his name; and he was saying—John the Immerser hath arisen from among the dead, and, for this cause, are the powers working mightily in him;
And king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad, ) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.
15 But, others, were saying—It is Elijah, and, others were saying—A prophet, like one of the prophets!
Others said, it is Elias: and others said, it is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.
16 But, when Herod heard, he was saying—He whom I beheaded—John, the same, hath been raised.
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, it is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from the dead.
17 For, Herod himself, had sent and secured John and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, —for, her, had he married,
For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her:
18 For John had been saying to Herod—It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother.
For John had said to Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 And, Herodias, was cherishing [a grudge] against him, and wishing, to slay him, —and could not;
Wherefore Herodias persecuted him, and would have taken away his life:
20 for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, —and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him.
but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.
21 And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first men of Galilee,
But a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,
22 when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel—Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee;
and dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 and he took an oath to her—Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.
And he gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
24 And, going out, she said unto her mother—What shall I ask? and she said—The head of John the Immerser;
And she withdrew and consulted her mother, what to ask: and she said, The head of John the baptist.
25 And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying—I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
And immediately she came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.
26 And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse her.
And the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,
27 And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave orders to bring his head.
and ordered his head to be brought:
28 And, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a charger, and gave it unto the damsel—and, the damsel, gave it unto her mother.
and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel carried it to her mother.
29 And, hearing of it, his disciples went and took away his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
And his disciples hearing of it, came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulchre.
30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.
And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And he saith unto them—Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.
And He said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.
32 And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.
And they went away privately in a ship into a desert place.
33 And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, —and outwent them.
And the people saw them departing, and many took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto Him.
34 And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.
And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.
35 And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:
And when it was now late in the day, his disciples came to Him, and said, this is a desert place, and it is now late:
36 dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.
dismiss them, that they may go into the country-places and villages round about, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
37 But, he, answering said to them—Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him—Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves, and give them to eat?
But He answered them, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 And, he, saith unto them—How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say—Five, and, two fishes.
But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.
And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:
40 And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.
and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by fifty.
41 And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.
And when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.
43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.
And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full.
44 And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men.
45 And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, —while, he, was dismissing the multitude.
And immediately He obliged his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people:
46 And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray.
and when He had sent them away, He retired into a mountain to pray.
47 And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land.
And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone upon the land:
48 And, seeing them distressed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, —and was wishing to pass by them.
and He saw them labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary: ) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;
But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.
50 for, all, saw him, and were troubled. But, he, straightway, talked with them, and saith unto them—Take courage! it is, I—be not afraid!
And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.
51 And he went up unto them, into the boat, —and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished;
And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,
52 for they understood not by the loaves, —but their, heart, had been, hardened.
for their heart was stupified.
53 And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near.
And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:
54 And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,
and when they came out of the ship, immediately the people knew Him, and ran through all the country,
55 the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.
and carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.
56 And, wheresoever he was entering into villages, or into cities, or into hamlets, in the marketplaces, laid they the sick, and were beseeching him, that, only the fringe of his mantle, they might touch, and, as many soever as touched it, were being made well.
And wherever He came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
