Mark 6
1. And he went out * from thence, and came * into his own country; and his disciples follow * him.
2. And when the sabbath day was come * , he began * to teach * in the synagogue: and many hearing * him were astonished * , saying * , From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given * unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought * by his hands?
3. Is * not this the carpenter,the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are * not his sisters here with us? And they were offended * at him.
4. But Jesus said * unto them , A prophet is * not without honour, but in his own country,and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5. And he could * there do * no mighty work, save that he laid * his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed * them.
6. And he marvelled * because of their unbelief. And he went * round about the villages, teaching * .
7. And he called * unto him the twelve, and began * to send * them forth * by two and two; and gave * them power over unclean spirits;
8. And commanded * them that they should take * nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
9. But be shod * with sandals; and not put on * two coats.
10. And he said * unto them, In what place soever ye enter * into an house, there abide * till ye depart * from that place.
11. And whosoever shall * 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 and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12. And they went out * , and preached * that men should repent * .
13. And they cast out * many devils, and anointed * with oil many that were sick, and healed * them.
14. And king Herod heard * of him; (for his name was * spread abroad:) and he said * , That John the Baptist * was risen * from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves * in him.
15. Others said * , That it is * Elias. And others said * , That it is * a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16. But when Herod heard * thereof, he said * , It is * John,whom I beheaded * : he is risen * from the dead.
17. For Herod himself had sent forth * and laid hold * upon John, and bound * him in prison for * Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married * her.
18. For John had said * unto Herod, It is * not lawful * for thee to have * thy brother's wife.
19. Therefore Herodias had a quarrel * against him, and would * have killed * him; but she could * not:
20. For Herod feared * John,knowing * that he was a just man and an holy, and observed * him; and when he heard * him, he did * many things, and heard * him gladly.
21. And when a convenient day was come * , that Herod on his birthday made * a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
22. And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in * , and danced * , and pleased * Herod and them that sat with him * , the king said * unto the damsel, Ask * of me whatsoever thou wilt * , and I will give * it thee.
23. And he sware * unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask * of me, I will give * it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24. And she went forth * , and said * unto her mother, What shall I ask * ? And she 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 give * me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26. And the king was * exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him * , he would * not reject * her.
27. And immediately the king sent * an executioner, and commanded * his head to be brought * : and he went * and beheaded * him in the prison,
28. And brought * his head in a charger, and gave * it to the damsel: and the damsel gave * it to her mother.
29. And when his disciples heard * of it, they came * and took up * his corpse, and laid * it in a tomb.
30. And the apostles gathered themselves together * unto Jesus, and told * him all things, both what they had done * , and what they had taught * .
31. And he said * 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 * .
32. And they departed * into a desert place by ship privately.
33. And the people saw * them departing * , and many knew * him, and ran * afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent * them, and came together * unto him.
34. And Jesus, when he came out * , saw * much people, and was moved with compassion * toward them, because they were * as sheep not having * a shepherd: and he began * to teach * them many things.
35. And when the day was * now far spent, his disciples came * unto him, and said * , This is * a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36. Send * them away * , that they may go * into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy * themselves bread: for they have * nothing to eat * .
37. 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 * ?
38. He saith * unto them, How many loaves have ye * ? go * and see * . And when they knew * , they say * , Five, and two fishes.
39. And he commanded * them to make * all sit down * by companies upon the green grass.
40. And they sat down * in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41. And when he had taken * the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up * to heaven, and blessed * , and brake * the loaves, and gave * them to his disciples to set before * them; and the two fishes divided he * among them all.
42. And they did * all eat * , and were filled * .
43. And they took up * twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44. And they that did eat * of the loaves were * about five thousand men.
45. And straightway he constrained * his disciples to get * into the ship, and to go * to the other side before * unto Bethsaida, while he sent away * the people.
46. And when he had sent * them away * , he departed * into a mountain to pray * .
47. And when even was come * , the ship was * in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48. And he saw * them toiling * in rowing * ; for the wind was * contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh * unto them, walking * upon the sea, and would * have passed by * them.
49. But when they saw * him walking * upon the sea, they supposed * it had been * a spirit, and cried out * :
50. For they all saw * him, and were troubled * . And immediately he talked * with them, and saith * unto them, Be of good cheer * : it is * I; be * not afraid * .
51. And he went up * unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased * : and they were sore amazed * in themselves beyond measure,and wondered * .
52. For they considered * not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was * hardened * .
53. And when they had passed over * , they came * into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore * .
54. And when they were come * out of the ship, straightway they knew * him,
55. And ran through * that whole region round about, and began * to carry about * in beds those that were * sick, where they heard * he was * .
56. And whithersoever he entered * , into villages, or cities, or country, they laid * the sick * in the streets, and besought * him that they might touch * if * it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched * him were made whole * .
