< Mark 6 >

1 And He went out from there and (came *N+kO) into the hometown of Him, and follow Him the disciples of Him.
On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.
2 And when was becoming [the] Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing were astonished saying; From where to this [man] these things, and what [is] the wisdom which having been given (to Him *N+kO) (for *k) even (the *no) miracles such through the hands of Him (are done? *N+kO)
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the Synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this?” they said, “and what is this wisdom that has been given him? and these miracles which he is doing?
3 Surely this is the carpenter, the son of Mary (and *no) brother (now *k) of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon? And surely are the sisters of Him here with us? And they were offended by Him.
Is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;
4 (And *no) was saying (now *k) to them Jesus that Not is a prophet without honor only except in the hometown of him and among the relatives of him and in the household of him.
on which Jesus said: “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own relations, and in his own home.”
5 And not He was able there to do not any work of power only except on a few sick having laid the hands He healed.
And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands upon a few infirm persons, and curing them;
6 And (He was marveling *NK+o) because of the unbelief of them. And He was going the villages around teaching.
and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.
7 And He calls near the Twelve and He began them to send forth two [by] two and He was gaving to them authority over the spirits unclean
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his Messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.
8 And He instructed to them that nothing they may take for [the] journey only except a staff alone, no bread nor bag nor in the belt money,
He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;
9 but having put on yourselves sandals, and not (may put on *NK+o) two tunics.
but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.
10 And He was saying to them; Wherever (maybe *NK+o) you shall enter into a house, there do remain until maybe you may go out from there.
“Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there till you leave that place;
11 And (whatever *N+kO) maybe (place *no) not (he may receive *N+kO) you nor may hear you, departing from there do shake off the dust which [is] under the feet of you for a testimony against them. (Amen I say to you more tolerable will be for Sodom or for Gomorrah in day of judgment than for the for city that [one]. *K)
and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”
12 And having gone out (they proclaimed *N+kO) that (they may repent, *N+kO)
So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.
13 And demons many they were casting out and were anointing with oil many sick and were healing [them].
They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.
14 And heard King Herod; well known for became the name of Him. And (they were saying *N+kO) that John the [one] baptizing (he has been raised *N+kO) out from [the] dead and because of this operate the miraculous powers in him.
Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”
15 Others (however *no) were saying that Elijah He is; Others now were saying that A prophet (is or *K) like one of the prophets.
Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.”
16 Having heard now Herod (was saying *N+kO) (that: *k) Whom I myself beheaded John — he ([it] is he himself *k) is risen (from *ko) (dead. *KO)
But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”
17 Himself for Herod having sent he seized John and bound him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip the brother of him because her he had married;
For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18 Were saying for John to Herod that Not it is lawful for you to have the wife of the brother of you.
For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother’s wife.”
19 And Herodias was holding it against him and he was wishing him to kill and not he was able;
So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,
20 for Herod was afraid of John knowing him [to be] a man righteous and holy and he was keeping safe him. And when having heard him much (he was perplexed *N+KO) and gladly him was hearing.
because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.
21 And when was coming [a] day opportune when Herod on the birthday of him a banquet (made *N+kO) for the great men of him and for the chief captains and for the leading [men] of Galilee
A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.
22 and when was entering the daughter (of him *N+KO) Herodias and when having danced (and *ko) (she pleased *N+kO) Herod and those reclining with [him] said (now *o) the king to the girl; do ask me whatever if you shall wish, and I will give to you.
And when his daughter — that is, the daughter of Herodias — came in and danced, she delighted Herod and those who were dining with him. “Ask me for whatever you like,” the King said to the girl, “and I will give it to you”;
23 And he swore to her (greatly *N) whatever (thing *N+kO) if me you shall ask I will give you until half of the kingdom of mine.
and he swore to her that he would give her whatever she asked him — up to half his kingdom.
24 (And *no) (now *k) having gone out she said to the mother of her; What (shall I ask for myself? *N+kO) And she said; The head of John the [one] (baptizing. *N+kO)
The girl went out, and said to her mother “What must I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptizer,’ answered her mother.
25 And having entered immediately with haste to the king she asked saying; I desire that at once may you give to me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
So she went in as quickly as possible to the King, and made her request. “I want you,” she said, “to give me at once, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.”
26 And encompassingly sorrowful having been made the king on account of the oaths and those (reclining with [him] *N+KO) not was he willing to refuse her.
The King was much distressed; yet, on account of his oath and of the guests at his table, he did not like to refuse her.
27 And immediately having sent the king an executioner he commanded (to be brought *N+kO) the head of him. (And *N+kO) having gone he beheaded him in the prison
He immediately dispatched one of his bodyguard, with orders to bring John’s head. The man went and beheaded John in the prison,
28 and brought the head of him on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to the mother of her.
and, bringing his head on a dish, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 And having heard [it] the disciples of him came and they took up the body of him and laid it in [a] tomb.
When John’s disciples heard of it, they came and took his body away, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And are gathered together the apostles to Jesus and they related to him all things (and *k) how much they had done and how much they had taught.
When the Apostles came back to Jesus, they told him all that they had done and all that they had taught.
31 And (He speaks *N+kO) to them; Come you yourselves yourselves apart [your] own to [a] solitary place and (do rest *N+kO) a little; Were for those coming and those going [are] many, and not even to eat were they able.
“Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot,” he said, “and rest for a while” — for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.
32 And they went away (in *no) the boat into [a] solitary place on [their] own.
So they set off privately in their boat for a lonely spot.
33 And they saw them going (crowds *K) and (recognized *NK+O) (him *k) many and on foot from all the cities ran together there and went before them (and together went to him. *K)
And many people saw them going, and recognised them, and from all the towns they flocked together to the place on foot, and got there before them.
34 And having gone out He saw (Jesus *k) a great crowd and was moved with compassion toward (them *N+kO) because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
On getting out of the boat, Jesus saw a great crowd, and his heart was moved at the sight of them, because they were ‘like sheep without a shepherd’; and he began to teach them many things.
35 And already when the hour late being having come to Him the disciples of Him (were saying *N+kO) that Desolate is the place, and already [it is] an hour late;
When it grew late, his disciples came up to him, and said: “This is a lonely spot, and it is already late.
36 do dismiss them that having gone to the surrounding region and villages they may buy for themselves something (loaves for *K) may eat (not they have. *K)
Send the people away, so that they may go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 But answering He said to them; do give to them you yourselves [something] to eat. And they say to Him; Having gone shall we buy denarii two hundred of bread and [then] (we will give *N+kO) them [it] to eat?
But Jesus answered: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “Are we to go and buy twenty pounds’ worth of bread,” they asked, “to give them to eat?”
38 And He says to them; How many loaves have you do go (and *k) do see. And having known they say; Five and two fish.
“How many loaves have you?” he asked; “Go, and see.” When they had found out, they told him: “Five, and two fishes.”
39 And He commanded them (to recline *NK+o) all groups [by] groups on the green grass.
Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;
40 And they sat down groups [by] groups (by *N+kO) hundreds and (by *N+kO) fifties.
and they sat down in groups — in hundreds, and in fifties.
41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven He blessed and He broke the loaves and He was giving [them] to the disciples of Him that (they may set before *N+kO) them, And the two fish He divided among all.
Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fishes also among them all.
42 And ate all and were satisfied,
Every one had sufficient to eat;
43 And they took up (of fragments *N+kO) twelve (hand-baskets fullness *N+kO) and of the fish.
and they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.
44 And were those having eaten of the loaves (about *K) five thousand men.
The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.
45 And immediately He compelled the disciples of Him to climb into the boat and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida until He himself (dismisses *N+kO) the crowd.
Immediately afterwards Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, and cross over in advance, in the direction of Bethsaida, while he himself was dismissing the crowd.
46 And having taken leave of them He departed into the mountain to pray.
After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.
47 And when evening having come was the boat in [the] midst of the sea, and He himself alone upon the land.
When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.
48 And (seeing *N+kO) them straining in the rowing, was for the wind contrary to them, (and *k) About [the] fourth watch of the night He comes to them walking on the sea and He was wishing to pass by them.
Seeing them labouring at the oars — for the wind was against them — about three hours after midnight Jesus came towards them, walking on the water, intending to join them.
49 And having seen Him on the sea walking they thought (that *no) a ghost ([it] is, *N+kO) and cried out;
But, when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;
50 All for Him saw and were troubled. (now *N+kO) immediately He spoke with them and says to them; Take courage! I myself am [He], not do fear.
for all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. “Courage!” he said, “it is I; do not be afraid!”
51 And He went up to them into the boat, and ceased the wind. And exceedingly over excessive in themselves they were amazed (and were marveling; *K)
Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind dropped. The disciples were utterly amazed,
52 not for they understood by the loaves, (but *N+KO) were of them the heart hardened.
for they had not understood about the loaves, their minds being slow to learn.
53 And having passed over to the land they came (to *no) Gennesaret and drew to shore.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret, and moored the boat.
54 And when were exiting they out of the boat immediately having recognized Him
But they had no sooner left her than the people, recognising Jesus,
55 (they ran around *N+kO) all the (region *N+kO) that (and *no) they began on the mats those sick being to carry about to wherever they were hearing that (there *ko) He is.
hurried over the whole country-side, and began to carry about upon mats those who were ill, wherever they heard he was.
56 And wherever maybe He was entering into villages or (into *no) cities or (into *no) fields in the marketplaces they were laying those ailing and were begging Him that only only of the fringe the clothing of Him they shall touch, and as many as maybe (touched *N+kO) Him were being healed.
So wherever he went — to villages, or towns, or farms — they would lay their sick in the market-places, begging him to let them touch only the tassel of his cloak; and all who touched were made well.
