Mark 6
1 Christ is contemned of his countrymen. 7 He giveth the twelve power over unclean spirits. 14 Divers opinions of the Christ. 27 John the Baptist is beheaded, 29 and buried. 30 The Apostles return from preaching. 34 The miracle of five loaves and two fishes. 48 Christ walketh on the sea: 53 and healeth all that touch him.
6:1
Jesus went 1831 out from there 1564 and *came 2064 into His hometown 3968; and His disciples 3101 *followed 190 Him.
6:2
When the Sabbath 4521 came 1096, He began 757 to teach 1321 in the synagogue 4864; and the many 4183 listeners 191 were astonished 1605, saying 3004, “Where 4159 did this 3778 man 3778 [get] these 3778 things 3778, and what 5101 is [this] wisdom 4678 given 1325 to Him, and such 5108 miracles 1411 as these 5108 performed 1096 by His hands 5495?
6:3
“Is not this 3778 the carpenter 5045, the son 5207 of Mary 3137, and brother 80 of James 2385 and Joses 2500 and Judas 2455 and Simon 4613? Are not His sisters 79 here 5602 with us?” And they took 4624 offense 4624 at Him.
6:4
Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, “A prophet 4396 is not without 820 honor 820 except 1508 in his hometown 3968 and among 1722 his [own] relatives 4773a and in his [own] household 3614.”
6:5
And He could 1410 do 4160 no 3756 3762 miracle 1411 there 1563 except 1508 that He laid 2007 His hands 5495 on a few 3641 sick 732 people 732 and healed 2323 them.
6:6
And He wondered 2296 at their unbelief 570. ¶ And He was going 4013 around 4013 2945 the villages 2968 teaching 1321.
6:7
¶ And He *summoned 4341 the twelve 1427 and began 757 to send 649 them out in pairs 1417, and gave 1325 them authority 1849 over the unclean 169 spirits 4151;
6:8
and He instructed 3853 them that they should take 142 nothing 3367 for [their] journey 3598, except 1508 a mere 3441 staff 4464—no 3361 bread 740, no 3361 bag 4082, no 3361 money 5475 in their belt 2223—
6:9
but [to] wear 5265 sandals 4547; and [He added], “Do not put 1746a on two 1417 tunics 5509.”
6:10
And He said 3004 to them, “Wherever 3699 1437 you enter 1525 a house 3614, stay 3306 there 1563 until 2193 you leave 1831 town 1564.
6:11
“Any 3739 place 5117 that does not receive 1209 you or 3366 listen 191 to you, as you go 1607 out from there 1564, shake 1621 the dust 5529b off 1621 the soles 5270 of your feet 4228 for a testimony 3142 against them.”
6:12
They went 1831 out and preached 2784 that [men] should repent 3340.
6:13
And they were casting 1544b out many 4183 demons 1140 and were anointing 218b with oil 1637 many 4183 sick 732 people 732 and healing 2323 them.
6:14
¶ And King 935 Herod 2264 heard 191 [of it], for His name 3686 had become 1096 well 5318 known 5318; and [people] were saying 3004, “John 2491 the Baptist 907 has risen 1453 from the dead 3498, and that is why 1223 these 3588 miraculous 1411 powers 1411 are at work 1754 in Him.”
6:15
But others 243 were saying 3004, “He is Elijah 2243.” And others 243 were saying 3004, “[He is] a prophet 4396, like 5613 one 1520 of the prophets 4396 [of old].”
6:16
But when Herod 2264 heard 191 [of it], he kept saying 3004, “John 2491, whom 3739 I beheaded 607, has risen 1453!”
6:17
¶ For Herod 2264 himself 846 had sent 649 and had John 2491 arrested 2902 and bound 1210 in prison 5438 on account 1223 of Herodias 2266, the wife 1135 of his brother 80 Philip 5376, because 3754 he had married 1060 her.
6:18
For John 2491 had been saying 3004 to Herod 2264, “It is not lawful 1832 for you to have 2192 your brother’s 80 wife 1135.”
6:19
Herodias 2266 had 1758 a grudge 1758 against 1758 him and wanted 2309 to put 615 him to death 615 and could 1410 not [do so];
6:20
for Herod 2264 was afraid 5399 of John 2491, knowing 3609a that he was a righteous 1342 and holy 40 man 435, and he kept 4933 him safe 4933. And when he heard 191 him, he was very 4183 perplexed 639; but he used to enjoy 2234 listening 191 to him.
6:21
A strategic 2121 day 2250 came 1096 when 3753 Herod 2264 on his birthday 1077 gave 4160 a banquet 1173 for his lords 3175 and military 5506 commanders 5506 and the leading 4413 men 4413 of Galilee 1056;
6:22
and when the daughter 2364 of Herodias 2266 herself 846 came 1525 in and danced 3738, she pleased 700 Herod 2264 and his dinner 4873 guests 4873; and the king 935 said 3004 to the girl 2877, “Ask 154 me for whatever 3739 1437 you want 2309 and I will give 1325 it to you.”
6:23
And he swore 3660 to her, “Whatever 3739 1437 you ask 154 of me, I will give 1325 it to you; up to half 2255 of my kingdom 932.”
6:24
And she went 1831 out and said 3004 to her mother 3384, “What 5101 shall I ask 154 for?” And she said 3004, “The head 2776 of John 2491 the Baptist 907.”
6:25
Immediately 2117 she came 1525 in a hurry 4710 to the king 935 and asked 154, saying 3004, “I want 2309 you to give 1325 me at once 1824 the head 2776 of John 2491 the Baptist 910 on a platter 4094.”
6:26
And although the king 935 was very 4036 sorry 4036, [yet] because 1223 of his oaths 3727 and because of his dinner 345 guests 345, he was unwilling 3756 2309 to refuse 114 her.
6:27
Immediately 2117 the king 935 sent 649 an executioner 4688 and commanded 2004 [him] to bring 5342 [back] his head 2776. And he went 565 and had him beheaded 607 in the prison 5438,
6:28
and brought 5342 his head 2776 on a platter 4094, and gave 1325 it to the girl 2877; and the girl 2877 gave 1325 it to her mother 3384.
6:29
When his disciples 3101 heard 191 [about this], they came 2064 and took 142 away 142 his body 4430 and laid 5087 it in a tomb 3419.
6:30
¶ The apostles 652 *gathered 4863 together 4863 with Jesus 2424; and they reported 518 to Him all 3956 that they had done 4160 and taught 1321.
6:31
And He *said 3004 to them, “Come 1205 away 1205 by yourselves 4771 846 to a secluded 2048 place 5117 and rest 373 a while 3641.” (For there were many 4183 [people] coming 2064 and going 5217, and they did not even 3761 have 2119 time 2119 to eat 2068.)
6:32
They went 565 away 565 in the boat 4143 to a secluded 2048 place 5117 by themselves 2398.
6:33
[The people] saw 3708 them going 5217, and many 4183 recognized 1921 [them] and ran 4936 there 1563 together 4936 on foot 3979a from all 3956 the cities 4172, and got 4281 there 4281 ahead 4281 of them.
6:34
When Jesus went 1831 ashore 1831, He saw 3708 a large 4183 crowd 3793, and He felt 4697 compassion 4697 for them because 3754 they were like 5613 sheep 4263b without 3361 2192 a shepherd 4166; and He began 757 to teach 1321 them many 4183 things 4183.
6:35
When it was already 2235 quite 4183 late 5610 4183, His disciples 3101 came 4334 to Him and said 3004, “This 3588 place 5117 is desolate 2048 and it is already 2235 quite 4183 late 5610 4183;
6:36
send 630 them away 630 so 2443 that they may go 565 into the surrounding 2945 countryside 68 and villages 2968 and buy 59 themselves 1438 something 5101 to eat 2068.”
6:37
But He answered 611 them, “You give 1325 them [something] to eat 2068!” And they *said 3004 to Him, “Shall we go 565 and spend 59 two 1250 hundred 1250 denarii 1220 on bread 740 and give 1325 them [something] to eat 2068?”
6:38
And He *said 3004 to them, “How 4214 many 4214 loaves 740 do you have 2192? Go 5217 look 3708!” And when they found 1097 out, they *said 3004, “Five 4002, and two 1417 fish 2486.”
6:39
And He commanded 2004 them all 3956 to sit 347 down 347 by groups 4849 on the green 5515 grass 5528.
6:40
They sat 377 down 377 in groups 4237 of hundreds 1540 and of fifties 4004.
6:41
And He took 2983 the five 4002 loaves 740 and the two 1417 fish 2486, and looking 308 up toward 1519 heaven 3772, He blessed 2127 [the food] and broke 2622 the loaves 740 and He kept giving 1325 [them] to the disciples 3101 to set 3908 before 3908 them; and He divided 3307 up the two 1417 fish 2486 among them all 3956.
6:42
They all 3956 ate 2068 and were satisfied 5526,
6:43
and they picked 142 up twelve 1427 full 4138 baskets 2894 of the broken 2801 pieces 2801, and also of the fish 2486.
6:44
There were five 4000 thousand 4000 men 435 who ate 2068 the loaves 740.
6:45
¶ Immediately 2117 Jesus made 315 His disciples 3101 get 1684 into the boat 4143 and go 4254 ahead 4254 of [Him] to the other 4008 side 4008 to Bethsaida 966, while 2193 He Himself 846 was sending 630 the crowd 3793 away 630.
6:46
After bidding 657 them farewell 657, He left 565 for the mountain 3735 to pray 4336.
6:47
¶ When it was evening 3798, the boat 4143 was in the middle 3319 of the sea 2281, and He was alone 3441 on the land 1093.
6:48
Seeing 3708 them straining 928 at the oars 1643, for the wind 417 was against 1727 them, at about 4012 the fourth 5067a watch 5438 of the night 3571 He *came 2064 to them, walking 4043 on the sea 2281; and He intended 2309 to pass 3928 by them.
6:49
But when they saw 3708 Him walking 4043 on the sea 2281, they supposed 1380 that it was a ghost 5326, and cried 349 out;
6:50
for they all 3956 saw 3708 Him and were terrified 5015. But immediately 2117 He spoke 2980 with them and *said 3004 to them, “Take 2293 courage 2293; it is I, do not be afraid 5399.”
6:51
Then 2532 He got 305 into the boat 4143 with them, and the wind 417 stopped 2869; and they were utterly 3029 1537 4053 astonished 1839,
6:52
for they had not gained 4920 any insight 4920 from the [incident of] the loaves 740, but their heart 2588 was hardened 4456.
6:53
¶ When they had crossed 1276 over 1276 they came 2064 to land 1093 at Gennesaret 1082, and moored 4358 to the shore.
6:54
When they got 1831 out of the boat 4143, immediately 2117 [the people] recognized 1921 Him,
6:55
and ran 4063 about 4063 that whole 3650 country 5561 and began 757 to carry 4064 here 4063 and there 4064 on their pallets 2895 those 3588 who were sick 2560, to the place 3699 they heard 191 He was.
6:56
Wherever 3699 He entered 1531 villages 2968, or 2228 cities 4172, or 2228 countryside 68, they were laying 5087 the sick 770 in the market 58 places 58, and imploring 3870 Him that they might just 2579 touch 681 the fringe 2899 of His cloak 2440; and as many 3745 as touched 681 it were being cured 4982.
