Un profeta sin honra(A)

6 Salió Jesús de allí y fue a su tierra, en compañía de sus discípulos. 2 Cuando llegó el sábado, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga.

—¿De dónde sacó este tales cosas? —decían maravillados muchos de los que lo escuchaban—. ¿Qué sabiduría es esta que se le ha dado? ¿Cómo se explican estos milagros que vienen de sus manos? 3 ¿No es este el carpintero, el hijo de María? ¿Acaso no es el hermano de Santiago, de José, de Judas y de Simón? ¿No están sus hermanas aquí con nosotros?

Y se escandalizaban a causa de él. 4 Por tanto, Jesús les dijo:

—En todas partes se honra a un profeta, menos en su tierra, entre sus familiares y en su propia casa.

5 En efecto, no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, excepto sanar a unos pocos enfermos al imponerles las manos. 6 Y él se quedó asombrado por la falta de fe de ellos.

Jesús envía a los doce(B)

Jesús recorría los alrededores, enseñando de pueblo en pueblo. 7 Reunió a los doce y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos, dándoles autoridad sobre los espíritus malignos.

8 Les ordenó que no llevaran nada para el camino: ni pan, ni bolsa, ni dinero en el cinturón, sino solo un bastón. 9 «Lleven sandalias —dijo—, pero no dos mudas de ropa». 10 Y añadió: «Cuando entren en una casa, quédense allí hasta que salgan del pueblo. 11 Si en algún lugar no los reciben bien o no los escuchan, salgan de allí y sacúdanse el polvo de los pies, como un testimonio contra ellos».

12 Los doce salieron y exhortaban a la gente a que se arrepintiera. 13 También expulsaban a muchos demonios y sanaban a muchos enfermos, ungiéndolos con aceite.

Decapitación de Juan el Bautista(C)(D)

14 El rey Herodes se enteró de esto, pues el nombre de Jesús se había hecho famoso. Algunos decían[a] que Juan el Bautista había resucitado y por eso tenía poder para realizar milagros. 15 Otros decían que era Elías; y otros, en fin, afirmaban que era un profeta, como los de antes. 16 Pero cuando Herodes oyó esto, exclamó: «¡Juan, al que yo mandé que le cortaran la cabeza, ha resucitado!».

17 En efecto, Herodes mismo había mandado que arrestaran a Juan y que lo encadenaran en la cárcel. Herodes se había casado con Herodías, esposa de su hermano Felipe, 18 y Juan había dicho a Herodes: «No te es lícito tener a la mujer de tu hermano». 19 Por eso Herodías le guardaba rencor a Juan y deseaba matarlo. Pero no había logrado hacerlo, 20 ya que Herodes temía a Juan y lo protegía, pues sabía que era un hombre justo y santo. Cuando Herodes oía a Juan, se quedaba muy desconcertado, pero lo escuchaba con gusto.

21 Por fin se presentó la oportunidad. En su cumpleaños Herodes dio un banquete a sus altos oficiales, a los comandantes militares y a los notables de Galilea. 22 La hija de Herodías entró en el banquete y bailó, y esto agradó a Herodes y a los invitados.

—Pídeme lo que quieras y te lo daré —dijo el rey a la muchacha.

23 Y prometió bajo juramento:

—Te daré cualquier cosa que me pidas, aun cuando sea la mitad de mi reino.

24 Ella salió a preguntarle a su madre:

—¿Qué debo pedir?

—La cabeza de Juan el Bautista —contestó.

25 Enseguida se fue corriendo la muchacha a presentarle al rey su petición:

—Quiero que ahora mismo me des en una bandeja la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.

26 El rey se quedó angustiado, pero no quiso desairarla a causa de sus juramentos y en atención a los invitados. 27 Así que enseguida envió a un verdugo con la orden de llevarle la cabeza de Juan. El hombre fue, decapitó a Juan en la cárcel 28 y volvió con la cabeza en una bandeja. Se la entregó a la muchacha y ella se la dio a su madre. 29 Al enterarse de esto, los discípulos de Juan fueron a recoger el cuerpo y le dieron sepultura.

Jesús alimenta a los cinco mil(E)

30 Los apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado.

31 Y como no tenían tiempo ni para comer, pues era tanta la gente que iba y venía, Jesús dijo:

—Vengan conmigo ustedes solos a un lugar tranquilo y descansen un poco.

32 Así que se fueron solos en la barca a un lugar solitario. 33 Pero muchos que los vieron salir los reconocieron y desde todos los poblados corrieron por tierra hasta allá y llegaron antes que ellos. 34 Cuando Jesús desembarcó y vio tanta gente, tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor. Así que comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas.

35 Cuando ya se hizo tarde, se le acercaron sus discípulos y dijeron:

—Este es un lugar apartado y ya es muy tarde. 36 Despide a la gente, para que vayan a los campos y pueblos cercanos y se compren algo de comer.

37 —Denles ustedes mismos de comer —contestó Jesús.

—¡Eso costaría más de seis meses de trabajo![b] —objetaron—. ¿Quieres que vayamos y gastemos todo ese dinero en pan para darles de comer?

38 —¿Cuántos panes tienen ustedes? —preguntó—. Vayan a ver.

Después de averiguarlo, dijeron:

—Cinco y dos pescados.

39 Entonces les mandó que hicieran que la gente se sentara por grupos sobre la hierba verde. 40 Así que ellos se acomodaron en grupos de cien y de cincuenta. 41 Jesús tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, mirando al cielo, los bendijo. Luego partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos para que se los repartieran a la gente. También repartió los dos pescados entre todos. 42 Comieron hasta quedar satisfechos 43 y los discípulos recogieron doce canastas llenas de pedazos de pan y de pescado. 44 Los que comieron fueron cinco mil.

Jesús camina sobre el agua(F)(G)

45 Enseguida Jesús hizo que sus discípulos subieran a la barca y se adelantaran al otro lado, a Betsaida, mientras él despedía a la multitud. 46 Cuando se despidió, fue a la montaña para orar.

47 Al anochecer, la barca se hallaba en medio del lago y Jesús estaba en tierra solo. 48 En la madrugada,[c] vio que los discípulos hacían grandes esfuerzos para remar, pues tenían el viento en contra. Se acercó a ellos caminando sobre el lago e iba a pasarlos de largo. 49 Los discípulos, al verlo caminar sobre el agua, creyeron que era un fantasma y se pusieron a gritar, 50 llenos de miedo por lo que veían. Pero él habló enseguida con ellos y les dijo: «¡Cálmense! Soy yo. No tengan miedo».

51 Subió entonces a la barca con ellos y el viento se calmó. Estaban sumamente asombrados 52 porque tenían endurecido el corazón y no habían comprendido lo de los panes.

53 Después de cruzar el lago, desembarcaron en Genesaret y atracaron allí. 54 Al bajar ellos de la barca, la gente enseguida reconoció a Jesús. 55 Lo siguieron por toda aquella región y, adonde oían que él estaba, le llevaban en camillas a los que tenían enfermedades. 56 Y dondequiera que iba, en pueblos, ciudades o campos, colocaban a los enfermos en las plazas. Le suplicaban que les permitiera tocar siquiera el borde de su manto y quienes lo tocaban quedaban sanos.

Mark 6
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.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

6 (A)And 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 (D)many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to this man, and such [b]miracles as these performed by His hands? 3 Is this man not (E)the carpenter, (F)the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not (G)His sisters here with us?” And they were taking (H)offense at Him. 4 And Jesus was saying to them, “(I)A prophet is not without honor except in [c](J)his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.” 5 And He could do no [d]miracle there except that He (K)laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He was marveling 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 was giving them authority over the unclean spirits; 8 (P)and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only—no bread, no [e]bag, no money in their belt— 9 but [f]to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two [g]tunics.” 10 And He was saying to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you [h]leave town. 11 And any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, (Q)shake the dust [i]off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.” 12 (R)And they went out and [j]preached that men should repent. 13 And they were casting out many demons and (S)were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

The Death of John the Baptist

14 (T)And King Herod heard 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 it, he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”

17 For Herod himself had sent 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 (Z)Now Herodias was holding a grudge against him and was wanting to put him to death and was not able; 20 for (AA)Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he was keeping him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; [k]but he [l]used to enjoy listening to him. 21 And a strategic day came when Herod on his birthday (AB)gave a banquet for his great men and [m]military commanders and the leading men (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 And 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, yet because of his oaths and because of [o]his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 And 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 And when his disciples heard this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

30 (AF)And 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 desolate place and rest a 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 desolate place by themselves.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

33 And 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 And 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 quite late, His disciples came to Him and began saying, “[q]This place is desolate and it is already quite 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 and said to 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 them something to eat?” 38 And 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 commanded them all to [t]sit down by [u]groups on the green grass. 40 And they [v]sat down in groups of hundreds and of 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 kept giving them to the disciples to set before them, and He divided up 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, and also of the fish. 44 And there were (AQ)five thousand men who ate the loaves.

Jesus Walks on the Sea

45 (AR)And immediately Jesus made His disciples get into (AS)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to (AT)Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. 46 And after (AU)bidding them farewell, He left (AV)for the mountain to pray.

47 And when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 And seeing them [w]straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the [x](AW)fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He was intending to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were [y]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 [z]utterly amazed, 52 for (BA)they [aa]had not gained any insight about the loaves, but their [ab]heart (BB)was hardened.

Many Healed at Gennesaret

53 (BC)And when they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, 55 and ran about that whole region and began to carry here and there on their mats those who were sick, to [ac]the place they heard He was. 56 And wherever He was entering villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces, and pleading with Him that they might just (BD)touch (BE)the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were being [ad]saved from their sicknesses.

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)

Människorna i Nasaret vägrar att tro

(Matt 13:54-58; Luk 4:16-30)

6 Sedan lämnade Jesus platsen, och han kom till sin hemstad tillsammans med sina lärjungar. 2 När det blev sabbat undervisade han i synagogan, och många som hörde honom blev förvånade och sa: ”Varifrån har han fått detta? Varifrån har han fått denna visdom, och att han kan göra sådana under med sina händer? 3 Det är ju bara snickaren, Marias son, bror till Jakob, Joses, Judas och Simon, och hans systrar bor också här hos oss.” Och så retade de sig på honom.

4 Då sa Jesus till dem: ”En profet blir föraktad bara i sin egen hemstad, bland sina släktingar och i sin egen familj.” 5 Så kunde han inte göra några under där, förutom att han botade några få sjuka genom att lägga händerna på dem. 6 Han förvånade sig över deras otro.

Jesus sänder ut sina tolv lärjungar

(Matt 10:1; 10:9-14; Luk 9:1-6)

Sedan vandrade Jesus runt i byarna och undervisade. 7 Han kallade till sig de tolv och sände ut dem två och två och gav dem makt över orena andar. 8 Han sa åt dem att inte ta med sig något annat på vägen än en vandringsstav, ingen mat, ingen väska och inga pengar i bältet. 9 Sandaler skulle de ha, och bara en skjorta.

10 ”När ni kommer in i ett hus, stanna då där tills ni fortsätter därifrån. 11 Men om man på en plats inte vill ta emot er eller lyssna till er, så gå bara därifrån och skaka platsens damm av era fötter, och det får då vittna mot dem.”

12 Så gick de iväg och förkunnade att folk skulle vända om. 13 Och de drev ut många onda andar och smorde många sjuka med olja[a] och botade dem.

Johannes döparens död

(Matt 14:1-12; Luk 9:7-9)

14 Snart fick också kung Herodes höra talas om Jesus, eftersom ryktet om Jesus spreds överallt. Folk sa: ”Det är Johannes döparen som har uppstått från de döda. Det är därför sådana krafter verkar i honom.” 15 Men en del sa: ”Han är Elia[b].” Andra sa: ”Han är en profet, precis som profeterna förr i tiden.”

16 ”Nej”, sa Herodes, när han hörde det, ”det är Johannes, han som jag lät halshugga. Han har uppstått.”

17 Herodes hade nämligen arresterat Johannes och låtit binda honom och kasta honom i fängelse på grund av Herodias, hans bror Filippos hustru, som Herodes hade gift sig med. 18 Johannes hade sagt rent ut till Herodes: ”Det är inte tillåtet för dig att leva ihop med din brors hustru.” 19 Därför hatade Herodias honom och ville döda honom, men kunde inte. 20 Herodes hade innerst inne respekt för Johannes och ville skydda honom, för han visste att Johannes var en rättfärdig och helig man. När han lyssnade på Johannes kände han sig osäker, men ändå lyssnade han gärna på honom.

21 Till slut kom i alla fall Herodias chans. Herodes firade sin födelsedag och ställde till med en fest för hovfolket, officerarna och de förnämsta männen i Galileen. 22 Medan festen pågick kom Herodias dotter in och dansade.

Herodes och hans gäster blev mycket förtjusta, och kungen sa till flickan: ”Be mig om vad du vill, och jag ska ge det till dig.” 23 Sedan svor han inför gästerna och upprepade: ”Ja, vad du än ber mig om ska du få, om det så är hälften av mitt rike.”

24 Hon gick då ut och frågade sin mor vad hon skulle be om. Och hon svarade: ”Be om Johannes döparens huvud!”

25 Flickan skyndade genast tillbaka till kungen och sa till honom: ”Jag vill ha Johannes döparens huvud på ett fat, nu genast!”

26 Kungen blev mycket ledsen, men på grund av sitt löfte och för gästernas skull, lät han henne få som hon ville. 27 Han gav därför order till en av sina livvakter att gå och hämta Johannes huvud. Mannen gick iväg till fängelset och halshögg Johannes 28 och kom tillbaka med hans huvud på ett fat. Han gav det sedan till flickan, som i sin tur bar det till sin mor. 29 Men när Johannes lärjungar hörde vad som hänt, kom de och hämtade hans kropp och lade den i en grav.

Jesus ger mat åt mer än 5 000 personer

(Matt 14:13-21; Luk 9:10-17; Joh 6:1-13)

30 Apostlarna samlades nu hos Jesus och rapporterade allt de hade gjort och undervisat om. 31 Men eftersom det var så mycket folk som kom och gick att de inte ens fick tid att äta, sa Jesus: ”Kom så drar vi oss undan till en öde plats där ni kan vila er lite.” 32 Och så åkte de iväg i en båt till en öde plats för att vara för sig själva.

33 Men många såg att de åkte iväg och skyndade dit till fots från alla städer och mötte dem när de kom dit. 34 Och när Jesus steg ur båten och fick se allt folk som hade samlats, kände han medlidande med dem, för de var som får utan herde. Då undervisade han dem länge.

35 Fram emot kvällen kom hans lärjungar till honom och sa: ”Det här är ödemark, och det är redan sent. 36 Skicka iväg folket, så att de kan gå till byarna och gårdarna här i närheten och köpa sig mat, så att de har något att äta.”

37 Men Jesus sa: ”Ge dem mat, ni själva!”

”Hur då?” frågade hans lärjungar. ”Det skulle ju kosta tvåhundra denarer[c] att köpa mat till allihop.”

38 ”Hur mycket mat har ni?” frågade han. ”Gå och ta reda på det.”

När de kom tillbaka rapporterade de att det fanns fem bröd och två fiskar. 39 Jesus bad dem då att säga till människorna att sätta sig ner i grupper där det fanns grönt gräs. 40 De satte sig i grupper på hundra eller femtio personer.

41 Han tog sedan de fem bröden och de två fiskarna och såg upp mot himlen och tackade Gud för dem. Efter det bröt han bröden i bitar och gav lärjungarna, för att de skulle ge det vidare till folket. Han delade också de två fiskarna så att alla fick. 42 Alla åt och blev mätta, 43 och efteråt samlade man upp tolv fulla korgar med bröd och fisk. 44 Det var 5 000 män som hade ätit.

Jesus går på vattnet

(Matt 14:22-33; Joh 6:16-21)

45 Genast efter detta bad Jesus sina lärjungar att sätta sig i båten och åka i förväg till Betsaida på andra sidan sjön. Själv stannade han kvar för att se till att folket kom därifrån. 46 Och sedan han fått iväg folket, gick han upp på ett berg för att be.

47 När det blev kväll var båten mitt ute på sjön. Jesus, som var ensam kvar på land, 48 såg hur de slet vid årorna eftersom de hade motvind.

Strax innan det började ljusna kom Jesus till sina lärjungar, gående mot dem på vattnet, och skulle gå förbi dem. 49 Men när de såg honom gå på vattnet skrek de till av rädsla, för de trodde det var ett spöke. 50 Alla såg de honom och blev förskräckta.

Men Jesus talade genast till dem och sa: ”Lugna er, det är jag. Var inte rädda.” 51 Sedan steg han i båten till dem, och i samma stund lade sig vinden.

De var alldeles häpna. 52 De hade ännu inte fattat det där med bröden heller. Deras hjärtan var förstockade.

Jesus botar alla som rör vid honom

(Matt 14:34-36)

53 När de hade åkt över sjön, kom de till Gennesaret, där de gick i land. 54 Och så snart de steg ur båten kände människorna igen Jesus. 55 De sprang runt i hela området och började bära fram sjuka på deras bäddar till de platser där de hörde att han befann sig. 56 Överallt dit han kom, i städer och byar och på gårdar, bar man ut de sjuka i det fria och bad att de åtminstone skulle få röra vid tofsen på hans mantel. Och alla som gjorde det blev friska.

Mark 6
English Standard Version

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

6 (A)He went away from there and came to (B)his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And (C)on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and (D)many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 (E)Is not this (F)the carpenter,[a] the son of Mary and (G)brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And (H)they took offense at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, (I)“A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And (J)he could do no mighty work there, except that (K)he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And (L)he marveled because of their unbelief.

(M)And he went about among the villages teaching.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

7 (N)And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to (O)wear sandals and not put on two tunics.[b] 10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, (P)shake off the dust that is on your feet (Q)as a testimony against them.” 12 (R)So they went out and (S)proclaimed (T)that people should repent. 13 (U)And they cast out many demons and (V)anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

The Death of John the Baptist

14 (W)King Herod heard of it, for Jesus'[c] name had become known. Some[d] said, (X)“John the Baptist[e] has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 (Y)But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is (Z)a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” 17 (AA)For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and (AB)bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her. 18 (AC)For John had been saying to Herod, (AD)“It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.” 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20 for Herod (AE)feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he (AF)heard him gladly.

21 But an opportunity came when Herod (AG)on his birthday (AH)gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, (AI)up to half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 And she came in immediately with haste 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 the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's[f] head. 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 (AJ)disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

30 (AK)(AL)The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and (AM)they had no leisure even to eat. 32 (AN)And they went away in (AO)the boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and (AP)recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When he went ashore he (AQ)saw a great crowd, and (AR)he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. 35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. 36 (AS)Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But he answered them, (AT)“You give them something to eat.” And (AU)they said to him, (AV)“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii[g] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, (AW)“Five, and two fish.” 39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he (AX)looked up to heaven and (AY)said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

Jesus Walks on the Water

45 (AZ)Immediately he (BA)made his disciples get into (BB)the boat and go before him to the other side, (BC)to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, (BD)he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when (BE)evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about (BF)the fourth watch of the night[h] he came to them, walking on the sea. (BG)He meant to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and (BH)were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, (BI)“Take heart; it is I. (BJ)Do not be afraid.” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for (BK)they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts (BL)were hardened.

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

53 (BM)When they had crossed over, they came to land at (BN)Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately (BO)recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring (BP)the sick people (BQ)on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, (BR)they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even (BS)the fringe of his garment. And (BT)as many as touched it were made well.
