Mark 6
1 And Jesus departed from there and came to his own city, and his disciples attended him.
And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2 And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!
And 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, and the brother of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were stumbled in him.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Josi, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.
4 And Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is little, except in his own city, and among his kindred, and at home.
Jesus 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 there do even one mighty work, except that he laid his hand on a few sick, and healed them.
And 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 at the defect of their faith. And he travelled about the villages and taught.
And he was amazed because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
7 And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, two and two; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out.
And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no pack, no money in their belts,
9 but to be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats.
but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10 And he said to them: Into whatever house ye enter, there abide till ye leave the place.
And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily I say to you, There will be comfort for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment rather than for that city.
And if any place will not receive you or listen to you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them."
12 And they went out and proclaimed, that men should repent.
So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
13 And they cast out many demons, and many of the sick they anointed with oil, and healed them.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
14 And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to him, and he said: John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead: and therefore it is, mighty deeds are done by him.
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."
15 Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.
But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
16 But when Herod heard of him, he said: He is that John whose head I struck off: he is risen from the dead.
But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
17 For Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken.
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.
18 For John had said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to take thy brother's wife.
For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him, but was not able.
So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
20 For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man: and he observed him, and gave ear to him in many things and did the things, and he heard him with satisfaction.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.
21 And there was a noted day, when Herod made a supper, in the house of his nativity, for his nobles and the chiliarchs and the chiefs of Galilee.
And then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the leaders of Galilee.
22 And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maid: Ask of me what thou pleasest, and I will give it thee.
And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
23 And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom.
And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
24 And she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask of him? She said to her: The head of John the Baptizer.
So she went out, and said to her mother, "What should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."
25 And she soon entered with eagerness to the king, and said: I desire that thou, this hour, give me in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26 And it pained the king greatly; yet, on account of the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her:
And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and those reclining, he did not wish to refuse her.
27 and the king sent immediately an executioner, and commanded him to bring the head of John. And he went, and struck off the head of John in the prison;
So immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 and brought it on a dish, and gave it to the maid; and the maid gave it to her mother.
and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young woman; and the young woman gave it to her mother.
29 And his disciples heard of it; and they came and took up the corpse, and laid it in a Sepulchre.
And when his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.
30 And the legates assembled before Jesus, and told him all they had done, and all they had taught.
Then the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 And he said to them: Come, let us go into a desert by ourselves, and rest a little. For there were many going and coming, and they had not opportunity even to eat bread.
And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And they went by ship to a desert place by themselves.
So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
33 But many saw them, as they departed, and knew them; and from all the cities, they ran thither by land before him.
But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.
34 And Jesus disembarked and saw great multitudes: and he compassionated them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
And he came out, saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the time was advanced, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is advanced.
And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.
36 Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into the villages, and may buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 And he said to them: Give ye them to eat. They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?
But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"
38 And he said to them: Go, see how many loaves ye have here. And when they had seen, they say to him: Five loaves and two fishes.
He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39 And he bid them make the people recline on the grass by companies.
He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 And they reclined, by companies of a hundred, and of fifty.
They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they divided also the two fishes among them all.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 And they all ate, and were satisfied.
They all ate, and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44 And they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 And he immediately constrained his disciples to take ship, and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitudes.
And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself was sending the crowd away.
46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to a mountain to pray.
After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 And when evening came, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 And he saw them straining themselves in rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the waters; and he was disposed to pass by them.
He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. In the watch between three and six in the morning he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,
49 And they saw him walking on the waters, and they supposed that the appearance was a spectre: and they cried out.
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
50 For they all saw him, and were afraid. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Take courage; it is I; fear not.
for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
51 And he entered into the ship to them; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed, and astonished among themselves.
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
52 For they did not learn by the bread; because their heart was stupid.
for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 And when they had passed to the other shore, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 And when they went out of the ship, immediately the men of the place knew him.
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 And they ran through all that region, and began to bring forth them that were sick, bearing them on beds to 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.
56 And wherever he entered into villages or cities, the sick were laid in he streets: and they besought him, that they might touch but the extremity of his raiment. And all they that touched him, were healed.
Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and everyone who touched him were made well.
