Mark 6
Christian Standard Bible
Rejection at Nazareth
6 He(A) left there and came to his hometown,(B) and his disciples(C) followed him. 2 When the Sabbath(D) came, he began to teach(E) in the synagogue,(F) and many who heard him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom(G) that has been given to him, and how are these miracles(H) performed by his hands? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter,(I) the son of Mary,(J) and the brother of James,(K) Joses, Judas,(L) and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended(M) by him.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet(N) is not without honor(O) except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” 5 He was not able to do a miracle(P) there, except that he laid his hands on(Q) a few sick(R) people and healed(S) them. 6 And he was amazed(T) at their unbelief.(U) He was going around the villages teaching.(V)
Commissioning the Twelve
7 He(W) summoned(X) the Twelve(Y) and began to send(Z) them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean(AA) spirits.(AB) 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff—no bread, no traveling bag,(AC) no money in their belts, 9 but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt.(AD) 10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place. 11 If any place does not welcome(AE) you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet(AF) as a testimony(AG) against them.”[a] 12 So they went out and preached(AH) that people should repent.(AI) 13 They drove out many demons,(AJ) anointed(AK) many sick(AL) people with oil(AM) and healed them.(AN)
John the Baptist Beheaded
14 King(AO) Herod(AP) heard about it, because Jesus’s name(AQ) had become well known. Some[b] said, “John the Baptist(AR) has been raised from the dead,(AS) and that’s why miraculous powers(AT) are at work(AU) in him.” 15 But others said, “He’s Elijah.”(AV) Still others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets from long ago.”(AW)
16 When Herod(AX) heard of it, he said, “John,(AY) the one I beheaded, has been raised!” (AZ)
17 For(BA) Herod himself had given orders to arrest John and to chain(BB) him in prison on account of Herodias,(BC) his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.(BD) 18 John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful(BE) for you to have your brother’s wife.”(BF) 19 So Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to kill(BG) him. But she could not, 20 because Herod feared(BH) John and protected him, knowing he was a righteous(BI) and holy(BJ) man. When Herod heard him he would be very perplexed,[c](BK) and yet he liked to listen to him.(BL)
21 An opportune time came on his birthday, when Herod gave a banquet(BM) for his nobles,(BN) military commanders,(BO) and the leading men of Galilee.(BP) 22 When Herodias’s own daughter[d] came in and danced,(BQ) she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 He promised her with an(BR) oath:(BS) “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(BT)
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”
“John the Baptist’s(BU) head,” she said.
25 At once she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s(BV) head on a platter(BW) immediately.” 26 Although the king was deeply distressed,(BX) because of his oaths(BY) and the guests[e] he did not want to refuse(BZ) her. 27 The king immediately sent for an executioner and commanded him to bring John’s head. So he went and beheaded him in prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When John’s disciples(CA) heard about it, they came and removed his corpse and placed it in a tomb.(CB)
Feeding of the Five Thousand
30 The(CC) apostles(CD) gathered around Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 So they went away in the boat by themselves to a remote place, 33 but many saw them leaving and recognized them, and they ran on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.[f]
34 When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion(CE) on them, because they were like sheep(CF) without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.
35 When it grew late, his disciples(CG) approached him and said, “This place is deserted,(CH) and it is already late. 36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”
37 “You give them something to eat,” he responded.
They said to him, “Should we go and buy two hundred denarii[g] worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 Then he instructed 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 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 Everyone ate and was satisfied.(CI) 43 They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces of bread and fish. 44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.
Walking on the Water
45 Immediately(CJ) he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida,(CK) while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After he said good-bye to them, he went away to the mountain(CL) to pray.(CM) 47 Well into the night, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 He saw them straining(CN) at the oars,[h] because the wind was against them. Very early in the morning[i] he came toward them walking on the sea and wanted to pass by them. 49 When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost(CO) and cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.(CP) Immediately he spoke with them and said, “Have courage!(CQ) It is I.(CR) Don’t be afraid.”(CS) 51 Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. They were completely astounded, 52 because they had not understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.(CT)
Miraculous Healings
53 When they had crossed over, they came to shore at Gennesaret(CU) and anchored there.
54 As they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized him. 55 They hurried throughout that region and began to carry the sick(CV) on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 Wherever he went, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch just the end(CW) of his robe.(CX) And everyone who touched it was healed.

Marcos 6
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
Jesus em Nazaré(A)
6 Jesus voltou com os seus discípulos para a cidade de Nazaré, onde ele tinha morado. 2 No sábado começou a ensinar na sinagoga. Muitos que o estavam escutando ficaram admirados e perguntaram:
— De onde é que este homem consegue tudo isso? De onde vem a sabedoria dele? Como é que faz esses milagres? 3 Por acaso ele não é o carpinteiro, filho de Maria? Não é irmão de Tiago, José, Judas e Simão? As suas irmãs não moram aqui?
Por isso ficaram desiludidos com ele. 4 Mas Jesus disse:
— Um profeta é respeitado em toda parte, menos na sua terra, entre os seus parentes e na sua própria casa.
5 Ele não pôde fazer milagres em Nazaré, a não ser curar alguns doentes, pondo as mãos sobre eles. 6 E ficou admirado com a falta de fé que havia ali.
A missão dos doze discípulos(B)
Jesus ensinava nos povoados que havia perto dali. 7 Ele chamou os doze discípulos e os enviou dois a dois, dando-lhes autoridade para expulsar espíritos maus. 8 Deu ordem para não levarem nada na viagem, somente uma bengala para se apoiar. Não deviam levar comida, nem sacola, nem dinheiro. 9 Deviam calçar sandálias e não levar nem uma túnica a mais. 10 Disse ainda:
— Quando vocês entrarem numa cidade, fiquem hospedados na casa em que forem recebidos até saírem daquela cidade. 11 Mas, se em algum lugar as pessoas não quiserem recebê-los, nem ouvi-los, vão embora. E na saída sacudam o pó das suas sandálias, como sinal de protesto contra aquela gente.
12 Então os discípulos foram e anunciaram que todos deviam se arrepender dos seus pecados. 13 Eles expulsavam muitos demônios e curavam muitos doentes, pondo azeite na cabeça deles.
A morte de João Batista(C)
14 O rei Herodes ouviu falar de tudo isso porque a fama de Jesus se havia espalhado por toda parte. Alguns diziam:
— Esse homem é João Batista, que foi ressuscitado! Por isso esse homem tem poder para fazer milagres.
15 Outros diziam que ele era Elias. Mas alguns afirmavam:
— Ele é profeta, como um daqueles profetas antigos.
16 Quando Herodes ouviu isso, disse:
— Ele é João Batista! Eu mandei cortar a cabeça dele, e agora ele foi ressuscitado!
17 Pois tinha sido Herodes mesmo quem havia mandado prender João, amarrar as suas mãos e jogá-lo na cadeia. Ele havia feito isso por causa de Herodias, com quem havia casado, embora ela fosse esposa do seu irmão Filipe. 18 Por isso João tinha dito muitas vezes a Herodes: “Pela nossa Lei você é proibido de casar com a esposa do seu irmão!”
19 Herodias estava furiosa com João e queria matá-lo. Mas não podia 20 porque Herodes tinha medo dele, pois sabia que ele era um homem bom e dedicado a Deus. Por isso Herodes protegia João. E, quando o ouvia falar, ficava sem saber o que fazer, mas mesmo assim gostava de escutá-lo.
21 Porém no dia do aniversário de Herodes apareceu a ocasião que Herodias estava esperando. Nesse dia Herodes deu um banquete para as pessoas importantes do seu governo: altos funcionários, chefes militares e autoridades da Galileia. 22 Durante o banquete a filha de Herodias entrou no salão e dançou. Herodes e os seus convidados gostaram muito da dança. Então o rei disse à moça:
— Peça o que quiser, e eu lhe darei.
23 E jurou:
— Prometo que darei o que você pedir, mesmo que seja a metade do meu reino!
24 Ela foi perguntar à sua mãe o que devia pedir. E a mãe respondeu:
— Peça a cabeça de João Batista.
25 No mesmo instante a moça voltou depressa aonde estava o rei e pediu:
— Quero a cabeça de João Batista num prato, agora mesmo!
26 Herodes ficou muito triste, mas, por causa do juramento que havia feito na frente dos convidados, não pôde deixar de atender o pedido da moça. 27 Mandou imediatamente um soldado da guarda trazer a cabeça de João. O soldado foi à cadeia, cortou a cabeça de João, 28 pôs num prato e deu à moça. E ela a entregou à sua mãe. 29 Quando os discípulos de João souberam disso, vieram, levaram o corpo dele e o sepultaram.
Jesus alimenta uma multidão(D)
30 Os apóstolos voltaram e contaram a Jesus tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado. 31 Havia ali tanta gente, chegando e saindo, que Jesus e os apóstolos não tinham tempo nem para comer. Então ele lhes disse:
— Venham! Vamos sozinhos para um lugar deserto a fim de descansarmos um pouco.
32 Então foram sozinhos de barco para um lugar deserto. 33 Porém muitas pessoas os viram sair e os reconheceram. De todos os povoados, muitos correram pela margem e chegaram lá antes deles. 34 Quando Jesus desceu do barco, viu a multidão e teve pena daquela gente porque pareciam ovelhas sem pastor. E começou a ensinar muitas coisas.
35 De tardinha, os discípulos chegaram perto de Jesus e disseram:
— Já é tarde, e este lugar é deserto. 36 Mande esta gente embora, a fim de que vão aos sítios e povoados de perto daqui e comprem alguma coisa para comer.
37 Mas Jesus respondeu:
— Deem vocês mesmos comida a eles.
Os discípulos disseram:
— Para comprarmos pão para toda esta gente, nós precisaríamos de duzentas moedas de prata.
38 Jesus perguntou:
— Quantos pães vocês têm? Vão ver.
Os discípulos foram ver e disseram:
— Temos cinco pães e dois peixes.
39 Então Jesus mandou o povo sentar-se em grupos na grama verde. 40 Todos se sentaram em grupos de cem e de cinquenta. 41 Aí Jesus pegou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e deu graças a Deus. Depois partiu os pães e os entregou aos discípulos para que eles distribuíssem ao povo. E também dividiu os dois peixes com todos. 42 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos. 43 E os discípulos ainda recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe. 44 Foram cinco mil os homens que comeram os pães.
Jesus anda em cima da água(E)
45 Logo depois, Jesus ordenou aos discípulos que subissem no barco e fossem na frente para o povoado de Betsaida, no lado leste do lago, enquanto ele mandava o povo embora. 46 Depois de se despedir dos discípulos, Jesus subiu um monte a fim de orar ali. 47 Quando chegou a noite, o barco estava no meio do lago, e Jesus estava em terra, sozinho. 48 Ele viu que os discípulos estavam remando com dificuldade porque o vento soprava contra eles. Já de madrugada, entre as três e as seis horas, Jesus foi até lá, andando em cima da água, e ia passar adiante deles.
49 Quando viram Jesus andando em cima da água, os discípulos pensaram que ele era um fantasma e começaram a gritar. 50 Todos ficaram apavorados com o que viram. Mas logo Jesus falou com eles, dizendo:
— Coragem, sou eu! Não tenham medo!
51 Aí subiu no barco com eles, e o vento se acalmou. Os discípulos estavam completamente apavorados. 52 É que a mente deles estava fechada, e eles não tinham entendido o milagre dos pães.
Jesus cura em Genesaré(F)
53 Jesus e os discípulos atravessaram o lago e chegaram à região de Genesaré, onde amarraram o barco na praia. 54 Quando desceram do barco, o povo logo reconheceu Jesus. 55 Então, eles saíram correndo por toda aquela região, começaram a trazer os doentes em camas e os levavam para o lugar onde sabiam que Jesus estava. 56 Em todos os lugares aonde ele ia, isto é, nos povoados, nas cidades e nas fazendas, punham os doentes nas praças e pediam a Jesus que os deixasse pelo menos tocar na barra da sua roupa. E todos os que tocavam nela ficavam curados.
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.
Mark 6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
6 Jesus left that place and went back to his home town. His disciples went with him.
2 On the Sabbath day he began to teach in the meeting house again. Many people who heard him were very much surprised and said, `Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?
3 Is he not the carpenter? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Are not his sisters here with us?' The people did not understand Jesus.
4 Jesus said to them, `Other people honour a man who is a prophet of God. But the people in his own country, his own home, and his family, do not honour him.'
5 Jesus could not do any big works in that place. But he put his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 He was surprised that the people did not believe him. He went out to the villages, teaching the people.
7 He called the twelve disciples to him and sent them out two by two. He gave them power to drive bad spirits out of people.
8 He said, `Take only a walking stick with you when you go. Do not take anything else. Do not take any food, or a bag, or money.
9 Wear shoes, but do not take extra clothing with you.
10 When you go into a certain house, live there until you leave the town.
11 In some places the people will not take you in. They will not listen to what you say. When you leave such a town, shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them. I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people in that town will be punished harder than the people in the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.'
12 The disciples went out and told the people that they should stop doing wrong things.
13 They drove bad spirits out of many people. They also put oil on many sick people and healed them.
14 King Herod heard about these things. People were talking about Jesus everywhere. Herod said, `John the Baptizer is risen from death. That is why he is able to do such great works.'
15 Other people said, `It is Elijah.' Others said, `He is a prophet like the prophets of God who lived long ago.'
16 Herod heard what other people said, so he said, `I cut off John's head. He is alive again.'
17 Herod had sent his people to catch John. They tied him and put him in prison to please Herodias. Herod had married her, but she was his brother Philip's wife.
18 John had told Herod, `It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.'
20 So Herodias hated John. She wanted to kill him. But she could not because Herod liked John. He knew that John did what was right and was a good man. So he kept John safe. When he heard John speak he was troubled in his heart, and yet he was glad to hear him.
21 rod made a feast on his birthday. He called all his rulers and the captains and the leaders of Galilee to come to the feast.
22 The daughter of Herodias came in and danced for them. This pleased Herod and the people at the feast. Then the king said to the girl, `Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.'
23 He made a promise which he would not break. He said, `Anything that you ask me for I will give you, even if you ask me for half of my kingdom.'
24 The girl went to her mother and said, `What shall I ask for?' Her mother said, `Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.'
25 The girl came quickly to the king and said, `I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer on a plate. Give it to me right away.'
26 The king was very sorry. But he had made a promise and all the people at the feast had heard him promise. He wanted to do what he promised her.
27 Right away he sent one of the soldiers who was standing on guard. He told him to bring John's head. The soldier went to the prison and cut off John's head.
28 He brought the head on a plate and gave it to the girl. She gave it to her mother.
29 When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and buried it.
30 The apostles came back to Jesus. They told him all they had done and taught.
31 Jesus said to them, `Come away with me. Let us go alone to a quiet place and rest for a while.' Many people were coming and going. They could not even eat.
32 So they went away in a boat to a lonely place by themselves.
33 The people saw them going. Many people knew them. The people ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34 When the boat got there, Jesus saw the many people. He was very sorry for them because they were like sheep with no one to care for them. He began to teach them many things.
35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him. They said, `This is a lonely place and the time is late.
36 Send these people away to farms and villages to buy food for themselves. They have nothing to eat.'
37 Jesus said, `You give them food to eat.' They said, `Shall we go and buy a lot of bread and give them to eat?'
38 He said, `Go and see how much bread you have.' When they knew, they told him, `We have five loaves of bread and two fish.'
39 Jesus told the disciples to make all the people sit on the green grass in groups.
40 The people sat down in groups. Some groups were a hundred people and some were fifty people.
41 Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them in pieces. He gave them to the disciples to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all.
42 They all ate and had enough.
43 Then they gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.
44 The number of men who ate was about five thousand.
45 Then Jesus said to the disciples, `You get into the boat right away and go over to Bethsaida. I will send the people away.'
46 When he had sent the people away, he went up on the hill to talk with God.
47 In the evening the boat was far out on the water. Jesus was alone on the land.
48 He saw the disciples working hard rowing the boat. The wind was blowing the wrong way. When it was almost morning, Jesus came to the disciples. He was walking on the water. He was going to pass by them.
49 But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit. They shouted loudly.
50 They all saw him and were very much afraid. He spoke to them right away. He said, `Be glad! It is I. Do not fear.'
51 Then he got in the boat with them. The wind stopped. They were very much surprised and did not know what to say.
52 They did not understand the lesson about the bread because their minds were too slow.
53 They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret. They came to shore.
54 As soon as he got out of the boat, the people knew him.
55 They went quickly to all the country around. They brought sick people in their beds to the place where they heard Jesus was.
56 They laid sick people by the road in villages, towns, and farms and every place he went. They begged him to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him 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.
