马可福音 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
拿撒勒人厌弃耶稣
6 耶稣带着门徒离开那地方,回到自己的家乡。 2 到了安息日,祂开始在会堂里教导人,众人听了都很惊奇,说:“这个人从哪里学来这些本领?祂怎么会有这种智慧?祂怎么能行这样的神迹? 3 这不是那个木匠吗?祂不是玛丽亚的儿子吗?祂不是雅各、约西、犹大、西门的大哥吗?祂的妹妹们不也住在我们这里吗?”他们就对祂很反感。
4 耶稣对他们说:“先知到处受人尊敬,只有在本乡、本族、本家例外。” 5 耶稣不能在那里行任何神迹,只把手按在几个病人身上,医治了他们。 6 他们的不信令耶稣诧异,于是祂就去周围的村庄教导人。
差遣十二使徒
7 耶稣召集了十二个使徒,差遣他们两个两个地出去,赐给他们制服污鬼的权柄, 8 又吩咐他们除了手杖之外,不用带食物和背囊,腰包里也不要带钱, 9 只穿一双鞋子和一套衣服就够了。 10 祂说:“你们无论到哪里,就住在那些接待你们的人家里,一直住到离开。 11 如果某地方的人不接待你们,不听你们传的道,你们在离开之前要跺掉脚上的尘土,作为对他们的警告!”
12 使徒便出去传道,劝人悔改, 13 赶出许多鬼,为许多病人抹油,治好他们。
施洗者约翰遇害
14 耶稣声名远播,希律王也听说了祂的事。有人说:“施洗者约翰从死里复活了,所以能够行这些神迹。”
15 也有人说:“祂是先知以利亚。”
还有人说:“祂是个先知,跟古代的一位先知相似。”
16 希律听到这些议论,就说:“祂一定是被我斩了头的约翰从死里复活了。” 17 原来希律娶了他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底,并为她的缘故而派人逮捕了约翰,把他关押在监牢里。 18 因为约翰屡次对希律说:“你娶弟弟的妻子不合法。”
19 希罗底对约翰怀恨在心,想要杀掉他,只是不能得逞。 20 因为希律知道约翰是个公义圣洁的人,所以敬畏他,并对他加以保护。尽管约翰所讲的道理令他困惑不安,他仍然喜欢听。
21 机会终于来了。希律在自己的生日那天设宴招待文武百官和加利利的显要。 22 希罗底的女儿进来跳舞,甚得希律和客人的欢心。王对她说:“你想要什么,只管说。” 23 王还对她起誓说:“无论你要什么,哪怕是我的半壁江山,我都会给你。”
24 她便出去问她母亲:“我应该要什么呢?”
她母亲说:“要施洗者约翰的头!”
25 她马上回去对王说:“愿王立刻把施洗者约翰的头放在盘子里送给我。”
26 王听了这个请求,感到十分为难,但因为在众宾客面前起了誓,就不好拒绝。 27 他立刻命令卫兵进监牢砍了约翰的头, 28 放在盘子里送给这女子,她又转送给她母亲。 29 约翰的门徒听到这个消息,就来把约翰的尸体领回去,安葬在坟墓里。
耶稣使五千人吃饱
30 使徒们聚集在耶稣身边,向祂报告事工和传道的经过。 31 耶稣对他们说:“你们私下跟我到僻静的地方去歇一会儿吧。”因为当时来来往往找他们的人实在太多,他们连吃饭的时间都没有。
32 他们乘船悄悄地到了一处僻静的地方。 33 可是有许多人看见他们离开,认出了他们,便从各城镇步行赶往那里,比他们先到达。 34 耶稣一下船,看见这一大群人好像没有牧人的羊,心里怜悯他们,于是教导了他们许多道理。
35 天色晚了,门徒过来对耶稣说:“时候已经不早了,这里又是荒郊野外, 36 请遣散众人,好让他们到周围的村庄去自己买些吃的。”
37 耶稣说:“你们给他们吃的吧。”
门徒说:“我们哪来这么多钱买东西给他们吃啊?”
38 耶稣说:“看看你们有多少饼。”
他们察看后,说:“有五个饼和两条鱼。”
39 耶稣吩咐门徒叫大家分组坐在草地上。 40 于是众人坐下,有的五十人一组,有的一百人一组。 41 耶稣拿起那五个饼、两条鱼,举目望着天祝谢后,掰开递给门徒,让他们分给众人。祂又照样把那两条鱼分给众人。 42 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了。 43 门徒把剩下的碎饼、碎鱼收拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 44 当时吃饼的男人有五千。
耶稣在湖面上行走
45 随后,耶稣催门徒上船,叫他们先渡到湖对岸的伯赛大,祂则遣散众人。 46 祂辞别了众人后,就上山去祷告。 47 到了晚上,门徒的船在湖中心,耶稣独自留在岸上。 48 大约凌晨三点钟,祂看见门徒在逆风中摇橹,非常吃力,就从水面上朝门徒走去,想要从他们旁边经过。 49 门徒看见有人在湖面上走,以为是幽灵,吓得惊叫起来。 50 全船的人看见祂,都吓坏了,耶稣立刻对他们说:“放心吧,是我,不要怕!”
51 耶稣上了船,来到他们那里,风便停了。门徒心里十分惊奇, 52 因为他们仍然不明白耶稣分饼那件事的意义,心里还是愚顽。 53 他们渡到湖对岸,来到革尼撒勒,在那里靠岸, 54 刚一下船,众人立刻认出了耶稣。 55 他们跑遍那一带地方,用垫子把生病的人抬来,听到耶稣在哪里,就把病人抬到哪里。 56 耶稣不论到哪一个城市、乡镇和村庄,人们总是把病人抬到街市上,求耶稣让他们摸一摸祂衣裳的穗边,所有摸过的病人都好了。
Marcos 6
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Jesús enseña en Nazaret
6 (A)Jesús se marchó de allí y llegó* a Su pueblo(B), y Sus discípulos lo siguieron*. 2 Cuando llegó el día de reposo, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga(C); y muchos que escuchaban se asombraban(D), diciendo: «¿Dónde obtuvo Este tales[a] cosas, y cuál es esta sabiduría que le ha sido dada, y estos milagros[b] que hace con Sus manos? 3 ¿No es Este el carpintero, el hijo de María, y hermano(E) de Jacobo[c], José, Judas y Simón(F)? ¿No están Sus hermanas(G) aquí con nosotros?». Y se escandalizaban a causa de Él(H). 4 Y Jesús les dijo: «No hay profeta sin honra sino en su propia tierra(I), y entre sus parientes y en su casa(J)».
5 Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro[d]; solo sanó a unos pocos enfermos sobre los cuales puso Sus manos(K). 6 Estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos.
Y recorría las aldeas de alrededor enseñando(L).
Jesús envía a los doce
7 (M)Entonces Jesús llamó* a los doce(N) y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos(O), dándoles autoridad[e] sobre los espíritus inmundos; 8 y les ordenó que no llevaran nada para el camino(P), sino solo un bordón; ni pan, ni alforja[f], ni dinero en el cinto; 9 sino calzados con sandalias. «No lleven dos túnicas[g]», les dijo. 10 Y añadió: «Dondequiera que entren en una casa, quédense en ella hasta que salgan de la población[h]. 11 En cualquier lugar que no los reciban ni los escuchen, al salir de allí, sacúdanse el polvo de la planta[i]de los pies(Q)en testimonio contra ellos».
12 Saliendo los doce, predicaban[j](R) que todos se arrepintieran. 13 También echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite a muchos enfermos y los sanaban(S).
Muerte de Juan el Bautista
14 (T)El rey Herodes se enteró[k] de esto, pues el nombre de Jesús[l] se había hecho célebre, y la gente decía: «Juan el Bautista(U) ha resucitado de entre los muertos, por eso es que estos poderes milagrosos actúan en él». 15 Pero otros decían: «Es Elías». Y decían otros: «Es un profeta, como uno de los profetas antiguos(V)». 16 Al oír esto, Herodes decía: «Juan, a quien yo decapité, ha resucitado». 17 Porque Herodes mismo había enviado a prender a Juan y lo había encadenado en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, mujer de su hermano Felipe(W), pues Herodes se había casado con ella. 18 Y Juan le decía a Herodes: «No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano(X)».
19 Herodías(Y) le tenía rencor y deseaba matarlo, pero no podía, 20 porque Herodes temía a Juan, sabiendo que era un hombre justo y santo(Z), y lo mantenía protegido. Cuando le oía se quedaba muy perplejo, pero le gustaba escucharlo[m].
21 Llegó un día oportuno, cuando Herodes, siendo su cumpleaños, ofreció un banquete(AA) a sus nobles y comandantes[n] y a los principales de Galilea(AB); 22 y cuando la hija de Herodías[o](AC) entró y danzó, agradó a Herodes y a los que se sentaban[p] a la mesa con él; y el rey dijo a la muchacha: «Pídeme lo que quieras y te lo daré».
23 Y le juró: «Te daré lo que me pidas, hasta la mitad de mi reino(AD)». 24 Ella salió y dijo a su madre: «¿Qué pediré?». «La cabeza de Juan el Bautista», le respondió ella. 25 Enseguida ella se presentó apresuradamente ante el rey con su petición[q], diciendo: «Quiero que me des ahora mismo la cabeza de Juan el Bautista en una bandeja».
26 Aunque el rey se puso muy triste, sin embargo a causa de sus juramentos y de los que se sentaban[r] con él a la mesa, no quiso contradecirla. 27 Al instante el rey envió a un verdugo y le ordenó que trajera la cabeza de Juan[s]. Y él fue y lo decapitó en la cárcel, 28 y trajo su cabeza en una bandeja, y se la dio a la muchacha, y la muchacha se la dio a su madre. 29 Cuando los discípulos de Juan oyeron esto, fueron y se llevaron el cuerpo y le dieron sepultura[t].
Alimentación de los cinco mil
30 Los apóstoles(AE) se reunieron* con Jesús, y le informaron sobre todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado(AF). 31 Y Él les dijo*: «Vengan, apártense de los demás a un lugar solitario y descansen un poco». Porque había muchos que iban y venían, y ellos no tenían tiempo ni siquiera para comer(AG). 32 (AH)Y se fueron en la barca a un lugar solitario, apartado(AI). 33 Pero la gente los vio salir, y muchos los reconocieron y juntos corrieron allá a pie de todas las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos.
34 Al desembarcar[u], Jesús vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor(AJ); y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. 35 Y cuando ya era muy tarde, Sus discípulos se acercaron a Él, diciendo: «El lugar está desierto y ya es muy tarde; 36 despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y se compren algo de comer[v]».
37 «Denles ustedes de comer», les contestó Jesús. Y ellos le dijeron*: «¿Quieres que vayamos y compremos 200 denarios[w](AK) de pan y les demos de comer(AL)?». 38 Jesús les dijo*: «¿Cuántos panes tienen ustedes? Vayan y vean». Y cuando se cercioraron le dijeron*: «Cinco panes y dos peces».
39 Y les mandó que todos se recostaran por grupos sobre la hierba verde. 40 Y se recostaron por grupos de cien y de cincuenta. 41 Entonces Él tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, los bendijo; partió los panes y los iba dando a los discípulos para que se los sirvieran[x](AM); también repartió los dos peces entre todos.
42 Todos comieron y se saciaron. 43 Recogieron doce cestas llenas de los pedazos(AN), y también de los peces. 44 Los que comieron los panes eran 5,000 hombres(AO).
Jesús anda sobre el mar
45 (AP)Enseguida Jesús hizo que Sus discípulos subieran a la barca(AQ) y fueran delante de Él al otro lado, a Betsaida(AR), mientras Él despedía a la multitud. 46 Después de despedirse de ellos(AS), se fue al monte a orar(AT). 47 Al anochecer, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y Él estaba solo en tierra. 48 Y al verlos remar fatigados, porque el viento les era contrario, como a la cuarta vigilia de la noche(AU)[y], fue* hacia ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería pasarlos de largo.
49 Pero cuando ellos lo vieron andando sobre el mar, pensaron que era un fantasma y se pusieron a gritar; 50 porque todos lo vieron y se turbaron. Pero enseguida Él habló con ellos y les dijo*: «¡Tengan ánimo(AV); soy Yo, no teman(AW)!». 51 Subió con ellos a la barca(AX), y el viento se calmó; y ellos estaban asombrados en gran manera, 52 porque no habían entendido lo de[z] los panes, sino que su mente estaba embotada[aa](AY).
Jesús en Genesaret
53 (AZ)Terminada la travesía, llegaron a tierra en Genesaret, y atracaron en la orilla. 54 Cuando salieron de la barca, la gente enseguida reconoció a Jesús, 55 y recorrieron apresuradamente toda aquella región, y comenzaron a traer a los enfermos en sus camillas adonde oían decir que Él estaba. 56 Dondequiera que Él entraba en aldeas, ciudades o campos, ponían a los enfermos en las plazas, y le rogaban que les permitiera tocar(BA) siquiera el borde de Su manto(BB); y todos los que lo tocaban quedaban curados[ab].

New American Standard Bible
Teaching at Nazareth
6 (A)Jesus went out from there and *came into [a](B)His hometown; and His disciples *followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath came, He began (C)to teach in the synagogue; and [b]the (D)many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man learn these things, and what is this wisdom that has been given to Him, and such [c]miracles as these performed by His hands? 3 Is this not (E)the carpenter, (F)the son of Mary and brother of [d]James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are (G)His sisters not here with us?” And they took (H)offense at Him. 4 Jesus said to them, “(I)A prophet is not dishonored except in [e](J)his hometown and among his own relatives, and in his own household.” 5 And He could not do any [f]miracle there except that He (K)laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He was amazed at their unbelief.
(L)And He was going around the villages, teaching.
The Twelve Sent Out
7 (M)And (N)He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out (O)in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 8 (P)and He instructed them that they were to take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no [g]bag, no money in their belt— 9 but [h]to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not wear two [i]tunics.” 10 And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you [j]leave town. 11 Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, (Q)shake the dust [k]off the soles of your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 (R)And they went out and [l]preached that people are to repent. 13 And they were casting out many demons and (S)were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.
John’s Fate Recalled
14 (T)And King Herod heard about it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, “(U)John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.” 15 But others were saying, “He is (V)Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is (W)a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard about it, he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”
17 For Herod himself had sent men and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of (X)Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “(Y)It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19 And (Z)Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death, and could not do so; 20 for (AA)Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he had been protecting him. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; and yet he [m]used to enjoy listening to him. 21 An opportune day came when Herod, on his birthday, (AB)held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders, and the leading people (AC)of Galilee; 22 and when the daughter of (AD)Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and [n]his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” 23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to (AE)half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 And although the king was very sorry, because of his oaths and [o]his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard about this, they came and carried away his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 (AF)The (AG)apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught. 31 And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and (AH)they did not even have time to eat.) 32 (AI)And they went away in (AJ)the boat to a secluded place by themselves.
Five Thousand Men Fed
33 The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus went [p]ashore, He (AK)saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because (AL)they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. 35 And when it was already late, His disciples came up to Him and said, “[q]This place is secluded and it is already late; 36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves [r]something to eat.” 37 But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” (AM)And they *said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred [s](AN)denarii on bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38 But He *said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they *said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 And He ordered them all to recline by groups on the green grass. 40 They reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He (AO)blessed the food and broke the loaves and He gave them to the disciples again and again to set before them; and He divided the two fish among them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied; 43 and they picked up twelve full (AP)baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish. 44 There were (AQ)five thousand [t]men who ate the loaves.
Jesus Walks on the Water
45 (AR)And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into (AS)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to (AT)Bethsaida, while He Himself *dismissed the crowd. 46 And after (AU)saying goodbye to them, He left (AV)for the mountain to pray.
47 When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 Seeing them [u]straining at the oars—for the wind was against them—at about the [v](AW)fourth watch of the night, He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were [w]terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “(AX)Take courage; it is I, (AY)do not be afraid.” 51 Then He got into (AZ)the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, 52 for (BA)they [x]had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but [y]their hearts (BB)were hardened.
Healing at Gennesaret
53 (BC)When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored at the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, 55 and ran about that entire country and began carrying here and there on their pallets those who were sick, [z]to wherever they heard He was. 56 And wherever He entered villages, or cities, or a countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces and imploring Him that they might just (BD)touch (BE)the fringe of His cloak; and all who touched it were being [aa]healed.

New International Version
A Prophet Without Honor(A)
6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown,(B) accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came,(C) he began to teach in the synagogue,(D) and many who heard him were amazed.(E)
“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon?(F) Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.(G)
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”(H) 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on(I) a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(J)
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.(K) 7 Calling the Twelve to him,(L) he began to send them out two by two(M) and gave them authority over impure spirits.(N)
8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet(O) as a testimony against them.”
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.(P) 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil(Q) and healed them.
John the Baptist Beheaded(R)(S)
14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,[b] “John the Baptist(T) has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”(U)
And still others claimed, “He is a prophet,(V) like one of the prophets of long ago.”(W)
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.(X) He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(Y) 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(Z) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[c]; yet he liked to listen to him.
21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(AA) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(AB) 22 When the daughter of[d] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(AC)
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(AD)(AE)
30 The apostles(AF) gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.(AG) 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat,(AH) he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat(AI) to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.(AJ) So he began teaching them many things.
35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”(AK)
They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[e]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”
38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”
When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”(AL)
39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(AM) Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
Jesus Walks on the Water(AN)(AO)
45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat(AP) and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida,(AQ) while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.(AR)
47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost.(AS) They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.
Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(AT) 51 Then he climbed into the boat(AU) with them, and the wind died down.(AV) They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.(AW)
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.(AX) 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak,(AY) and all who touched it were healed.
Mark 6
King James Version
6 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.
