Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

(A)He went away from there and came to (B)his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 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? (E)Is not this (F)the carpenter, 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. 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.” And (J)he could do no mighty work there, except that (K)he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And (L)he marveled because of their unbelief.

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

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

(N)And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— but to (O)wear sandals and not put on two tunics.[a] 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'[b] name had become known. Some[c] said, (X)“John the Baptist[d] 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[e] 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[f] 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[g] 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.

Nazareth Rejects Jesus(A)

Jesus left that place and went to his hometown. His disciples followed him. When the day of rest—a holy day, came, he began to teach in the synagogue. He amazed many who heard him. They asked, “Where did this man get these ideas? Who gave him this kind of wisdom and the ability to do such great miracles? Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they took offense at him.

But Jesus told them, “The only place a prophet isn’t honored is in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.” He couldn’t work any miracles there except to lay his hands on a few sick people and cure them. Their unbelief amazed him.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(B)

Then Jesus went around to the villages and taught.

He called the twelve apostles, sent them out two by two, and gave them authority over evil spirits. He instructed them to take nothing along on the trip except a walking stick. They were not to take any food, a traveling bag, or money in their pockets. They could wear sandals but could not take along a change of clothes.

10 He told them, “Whenever you go into a home, stay there until you’re ready to leave that place. 11 Wherever people don’t welcome you or listen to you, leave and shake the dust from your feet as a warning to them.”

12 So the apostles went and told people that they should turn to God and change the way they think and act. 13 They also forced many demons out of people and poured oil on many who were sick to cure them.

Recalling John’s Death(C)

14 King Herod heard about Jesus, because Jesus’ name had become well-known. Some people were saying, “John the Baptizer has come back to life. That’s why he has the power to perform these miracles.” 15 Others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet like one of the other prophets.” 16 But when Herod heard about it, he said, “I had John’s head cut off, and he has come back to life!”

17 Herod had sent men who had arrested John, tied him up, and put him in prison. Herod did that for Herodias, whom he had married. (She used to be his brother Philip’s wife.) 18 John had been telling Herod, “It’s not right for you to be married to your brother’s wife.”

19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she wasn’t allowed to do it 20 because Herod was afraid of John. Herod knew that John was a fair and holy man, so he protected him. When he listened to John, he would become very disturbed, and yet he liked to listen to him.

21 An opportunity finally came on Herod’s birthday. Herod gave a dinner for his top officials, army officers, and the most important people of Galilee. 22 His daughter, that is, Herodias’ daughter, came in and danced. Herod and his guests were delighted with her. The king told the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 He swore an oath to her: “I’ll give you anything you ask for, up to half of my kingdom.”

24 So she went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?”

Her mother said, “Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.”

25 So the girl hurried back to the king with her request. She said, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer on a platter at once.”

26 The king deeply regretted his promise. But because of his oath and his guests, he didn’t want to refuse her. 27 Immediately, the king sent a guard and ordered him to bring John’s head. The guard cut off John’s head in prison. 28 Then he brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

29 When John’s disciples heard about this, they came for his body and laid it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand(D)

30 The apostles gathered around Jesus. They reported to him everything they had done and taught. 31 So he said to them, “Let’s go to a place where we can be alone to rest for a while.” Many people were coming and going, and Jesus and the apostles didn’t even have a chance to eat.

32 So they went away in a boat to a place where they could be alone. 33 But many people saw them leave and recognized them. The people ran from all the cities and arrived ahead of them. 34 When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd and felt sorry for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he spent a lot of time teaching them.

35 When it was late, his disciples came to him. They said, “No one lives around here, and it’s already late. 36 Send the people to the closest farms and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”

37 Jesus replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They said to him, “Should we go and spend about a year’s wages on bread to feed them?”

38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”

When they found out, they told him, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”

39 Then he ordered all of them to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41 After he took the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed the food. He broke the loaves apart and kept giving them to the disciples to give to the people. He also gave pieces of the two fish to everyone. 42 All of them ate as much as they wanted. 43 When they picked up the leftover pieces, they filled twelve baskets with bread and fish. 44 There were 5,000 men who had eaten the bread.

Jesus Walks on the Sea(E)

45 Jesus quickly made his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him while he sent the people away. 46 After saying goodbye to them, he went up a mountain to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48 Jesus saw that they were in a lot of trouble as they rowed, because they were going against the wind. Between three and six o’clock in the morning, he came to them. He was walking on the sea. He wanted to pass by them. 49 When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought, “It’s a ghost!” and they began to scream. 50 All of them saw him and were terrified.

Immediately, he said, “Calm down! It’s me. Don’t be afraid!” 51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were astounded. 52 (They didn’t understand what had happened with the loaves of bread. Instead, their minds were closed.)

53 They crossed the sea, came to shore at Gennesaret, and anchored there.

54 As soon as they stepped out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran all over the countryside and began to carry the sick on cots to any place where they heard he was. 56 Whenever he would go into villages, cities, or farms, people would put their sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch the edge of his clothes. Everyone who touched his clothes was made well.

Jesús en Nazaret

(Mt. 13.53-58; Lc. 4.16-30)

Salió Jesús de allí y vino a su tierra, y le seguían sus discípulos. Y llegado el día de reposo,[a] comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga; y muchos, oyéndole, se admiraban, y decían: ¿De dónde tiene este estas cosas? ¿Y qué sabiduría es esta que le es dada, y estos milagros que por sus manos son hechos? ¿No es este el carpintero, hijo de María, hermano de Jacobo, de José, de Judas y de Simón? ¿No están también aquí con nosotros sus hermanas? Y se escandalizaban de él. Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta sin honra sino en su propia tierra,(A) y entre sus parientes, y en su casa. Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, salvo que sanó a unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos. Y estaba asombrado de la incredulidad de ellos. Y recorría las aldeas de alrededor, enseñando.

Misión de los doce discípulos

(Mt. 10.5-15; Lc. 9.1-6)

Después llamó a los doce, y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos; y les dio autoridad sobre los espíritus inmundos. Y les mandó(B) que no llevasen nada para el camino, sino solamente bordón; ni alforja, ni pan, ni dinero en el cinto, sino que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas. 10 Y les dijo: Dondequiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de aquel lugar. 11 Y si en algún lugar no os recibieren ni os oyeren, salid de allí, y sacudid el polvo que está debajo de vuestros pies, para testimonio a ellos.(C) De cierto os digo que en el día del juicio, será más tolerable el castigo para los de Sodoma y Gomorra, que para aquella ciudad. 12 Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen. 13 Y echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite a muchos enfermos, y los sanaban.(D)

Muerte de Juan el Bautista

(Mt. 14.1-12; Lc. 9.7-9)

14 Oyó el rey Herodes la fama de Jesús, porque su nombre se había hecho notorio; y dijo: Juan el Bautista ha resucitado de los muertos, y por eso actúan en él estos poderes. 15 Otros decían: Es Elías. Y otros decían: Es un profeta, o alguno de los profetas.(E) 16 Al oír esto Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan, el que yo decapité, que ha resucitado de los muertos. 17 Porque el mismo Herodes había enviado y prendido a Juan, y le había encadenado en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano; pues la había tomado por mujer. 18 Porque Juan decía a Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.(F) 19 Pero Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía; 20 porque Herodes temía a Juan, sabiendo que era varón justo y santo, y le guardaba a salvo; y oyéndole, se quedaba muy perplejo, pero le escuchaba de buena gana. 21 Pero venido un día oportuno, en que Herodes, en la fiesta de su cumpleaños, daba una cena a sus príncipes y tribunos y a los principales de Galilea, 22 entrando la hija de Herodías, danzó, y agradó a Herodes y a los que estaban con él a la mesa; y el rey dijo a la muchacha: Pídeme lo que quieras, y yo te lo daré. 23 Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidas te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino. 24 Saliendo ella, dijo a su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella le dijo: La cabeza de Juan el Bautista. 25 Entonces ella entró prontamente al rey, y pidió diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista. 26 Y el rey se entristeció mucho; pero a causa del juramento, y de los que estaban con él a la mesa, no quiso desecharla. 27 Y en seguida el rey, enviando a uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída la cabeza de Juan. 28 El guarda fue, le decapitó en la cárcel, y trajo su cabeza en un plato y la dio a la muchacha, y la muchacha la dio a su madre. 29 Cuando oyeron esto sus discípulos, vinieron y tomaron su cuerpo, y lo pusieron en un sepulcro.

Alimentación de los cinco mil

(Mt. 14.13-21; Lc. 9.10-17; Jn. 6.1-14)

30 Entonces los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado. 31 Él les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte a un lugar desierto, y descansad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, de manera que ni aun tenían tiempo para comer. 32 Y se fueron solos en una barca a un lugar desierto. 33 Pero muchos los vieron ir, y le reconocieron; y muchos fueron allá a pie desde las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron a él. 34 Y salió Jesús y vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor;(G) y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. 35 Cuando ya era muy avanzada la hora, sus discípulos se acercaron a él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y la hora ya muy avanzada. 36 Despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren pan, pues no tienen qué comer. 37 Respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Ellos le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer? 38 Él les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id y vedlo. Y al saberlo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces. 39 Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar a todos por grupos sobre la hierba verde. 40 Y se recostaron por grupos, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta. 41 Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y repartió los dos peces entre todos. 42 Y comieron todos, y se saciaron. 43 Y recogieron de los pedazos doce cestas llenas, y de lo que sobró de los peces. 44 Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.

Jesús anda sobre el mar

(Mt. 14.22-27; Jn. 6.15-21)

45 En seguida hizo a sus discípulos entrar en la barca e ir delante de él a Betsaida, en la otra ribera, entre tanto que él despedía a la multitud. 46 Y después que los hubo despedido, se fue al monte a orar; 47 y al venir la noche, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y él solo en tierra. 48 Y viéndoles remar con gran fatiga, porque el viento les era contrario, cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche vino a ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería adelantárseles. 49 Viéndole ellos andar sobre el mar, pensaron que era un fantasma, y gritaron; 50 porque todos le veían, y se turbaron. Pero en seguida habló con ellos, y les dijo: ¡Tened ánimo; yo soy, no temáis! 51 Y subió a ellos en la barca, y se calmó el viento; y ellos se asombraron en gran manera, y se maravillaban. 52 Porque aún no habían entendido lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban endurecidos sus corazones.

Jesús sana a los enfermos en Genesaret

(Mt. 14.34-36)

53 Terminada la travesía, vinieron a tierra de Genesaret, y arribaron a la orilla. 54 Y saliendo ellos de la barca, en seguida la gente le conoció. 55 Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron a traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, a donde oían que estaba. 56 Y dondequiera que entraba, en aldeas, ciudades o campos, ponían en las calles a los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que les dejase tocar siquiera el borde de su manto; y todos los que le tocaban quedaban sanos.

  1. Marcos 6:2 Aquí equivale a sábado.

Оттуда вышел Он и пришел в Свое отечество; за Ним следовали ученики Его.

Когда наступила суббота, Он начал учить в синагоге; и многие слышавшие с изумлением говорили: откуда у Него это? что за премудрость дана Ему, и как такие чудеса совершаются руками Его?

Не плотник ли Он, сын Марии, брат Иакова, Иосии, Иуды и Симона? Не здесь ли, между нами, Его сестры? И соблазнялись о Нем.

Иисус же сказал им: не бывает пророк без чести, разве только в отечестве своем и у сродников и в доме своем.

И не мог совершить там никакого чуда, только на немногих больных возложив руки, исцелил [их].

И дивился неверию их; потом ходил по окрестным селениям и учил.

И, призвав двенадцать, начал посылать их по два, и дал им власть над нечистыми духами.

И заповедал им ничего не брать в дорогу, кроме одного посоха: ни сумы, ни хлеба, ни меди в поясе,

но обуваться в простую обувь и не носить двух одежд.

10 И сказал им: если где войдете в дом, оставайтесь в нем, доколе не выйдете из того места.

11 И если кто не примет вас и не будет слушать вас, то, выходя оттуда, отрясите прах от ног ваших, во свидетельство на них. Истинно говорю вам: отраднее будет Содому и Гоморре в день суда, нежели тому городу.

12 Они пошли и проповедывали покаяние;

13 изгоняли многих бесов и многих больных мазали маслом и исцеляли.

14 Царь Ирод, услышав [об Иисусе], --ибо имя Его стало гласно, --говорил: это Иоанн Креститель воскрес из мертвых, и потому чудеса делаются им.

15 Другие говорили: это Илия, а иные говорили: это пророк, или как один из пророков.

16 Ирод же, услышав, сказал: это Иоанн, которого я обезглавил; он воскрес из мертвых.

17 Ибо сей Ирод, послав, взял Иоанна и заключил его в темницу за Иродиаду, жену Филиппа, брата своего, потому что женился на ней.

18 Ибо Иоанн говорил Ироду: не должно тебе иметь жену брата твоего.

19 Иродиада же, злобясь на него, желала убить его; но не могла.

20 Ибо Ирод боялся Иоанна, зная, что он муж праведный и святой, и берёг его; многое делал, слушаясь его, и с удовольствием слушал его.

21 Настал удобный день, когда Ирод, по случаю [дня] рождения своего, делал пир вельможам своим, тысяченачальникам и старейшинам Галилейским, --

22 дочь Иродиады вошла, плясала и угодила Ироду и возлежавшим с ним; царь сказал девице: проси у меня, чего хочешь, и дам тебе;

23 и клялся ей: чего ни попросишь у меня, дам тебе, даже до половины моего царства.

24 Она вышла и спросила у матери своей: чего просить? Та отвечала: головы Иоанна Крестителя.

25 И она тотчас пошла с поспешностью к царю и просила, говоря: хочу, чтобы ты дал мне теперь же на блюде голову Иоанна Крестителя.

26 Царь опечалился, но ради клятвы и возлежавших с ним не захотел отказать ей.

27 И тотчас, послав оруженосца, царь повелел принести голову его.

28 Он пошел, отсек ему голову в темнице, и принес голову его на блюде, и отдал ее девице, а девица отдала ее матери своей.

29 Ученики его, услышав, пришли и взяли тело его, и положили его во гробе.

30 И собрались Апостолы к Иисусу и рассказали Ему все, и что сделали, и чему научили.

31 Он сказал им: пойдите вы одни в пустынное место и отдохните немного, --ибо много было приходящих и отходящих, так что и есть им было некогда.

32 И отправились в пустынное место в лодке одни.

33 Народ увидел, [как] они отправлялись, и многие узнали их; и бежали туда пешие из всех городов, и предупредили их, и собрались к Нему.

34 Иисус, выйдя, увидел множество народа и сжалился над ними, потому что они были, как овцы, не имеющие пастыря; и начал учить их много.

35 И как времени прошло много, ученики Его, приступив к Нему, говорят: место [здесь] пустынное, а времени уже много, --

36 отпусти их, чтобы они пошли в окрестные деревни и селения и купили себе хлеба, ибо им нечего есть.

37 Он сказал им в ответ: вы дайте им есть. И сказали Ему: разве нам пойти купить хлеба динариев на двести и дать им есть?

38 Но Он спросил их: сколько у вас хлебов? пойдите, посмотрите. Они, узнав, сказали: пять хлебов и две рыбы.

39 Тогда повелел им рассадить всех отделениями на зеленой траве.

40 И сели рядами, по сто и по пятидесяти.

41 Он взял пять хлебов и две рыбы, воззрев на небо, благословил и преломил хлебы и дал ученикам Своим, чтобы они раздали им; и две рыбы разделил на всех.

42 И ели все, и насытились.

43 И набрали кусков хлеба и [остатков] от рыб двенадцать полных коробов.

44 Было же евших хлебы около пяти тысяч мужей.

45 И тотчас понудил учеников Своих войти в лодку и отправиться вперед на другую сторону к Вифсаиде, пока Он отпустит народ.

46 И, отпустив их, пошел на гору помолиться.

47 Вечером лодка была посреди моря, а Он один на земле.

48 И увидел их бедствующих в плавании, потому что ветер им был противный; около же четвертой стражи ночи подошел к ним, идя по морю, и хотел миновать их.

49 Они, увидев Его идущего по морю, подумали, что это призрак, и вскричали.

50 Ибо все видели Его и испугались. И тотчас заговорил с ними и сказал им: ободритесь; это Я, не бойтесь.

51 И вошел к ним в лодку, и ветер утих. И они чрезвычайно изумлялись в себе и дивились,

52 ибо не вразумились [чудом] над хлебами, потому что сердце их было окаменено.

53 И, переправившись, прибыли в землю Геннисаретскую и пристали [к] [берегу].

54 Когда вышли они из лодки, тотчас [жители], узнав Его,

55 обежали всю окрестность ту и начали на постелях приносить больных туда, где Он, как слышно было, находился.

56 И куда ни приходил Он, в селения ли, в города ли, в деревни ли, клали больных на открытых местах и просили Его, чтобы им прикоснуться хотя к краю одежды Его; и которые прикасались к Нему, исцелялись.
