Mark 6
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
6 He left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands! 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary[a] and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense[b] at him. 4 Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house.” 5 And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.
The Mission of the Twelve
Then he went about among the villages teaching. 7 He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; 9 but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. 11 If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
The Death of John the Baptist
14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’[c] name had become known. Some were[d] saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is 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 For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod[e] had married her. 18 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed;[f] and yet he liked to listen to him. 21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. 22 When his daughter Herodias[g] 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.” 23 And he solemnly swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” 24 She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” She replied, “The head of John the baptizer.” 25 Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s[h] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
Feeding the Five Thousand
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34 As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late; 36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.” 37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii[i] worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” When they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 And all ate and were filled; 43 and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44 Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.
Jesus Walks on the Water
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.
47 When evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 When he saw that they were straining at the oars against an adverse wind, he came towards them early in the morning, walking on the sea. He intended to pass them by. 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 were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.” 51 Then he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
Healing the Sick in Gennesaret
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54 When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, 55 and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Jesús enseña en Nazaret
6 (A)Jesús se marchó de allí y llegó* a Su pueblo(B), y Sus discípulos lo siguieron*. 2 Cuando llegó el día de reposo, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga(C); y muchos que escuchaban se asombraban(D), diciendo: «¿Dónde obtuvo Este tales[a] cosas, y cuál es esta sabiduría que le ha sido dada, y estos milagros[b] que hace con Sus manos? 3 ¿No es Este el carpintero, el hijo de María, y hermano(E) de Jacobo[c], José, Judas y Simón(F)? ¿No están Sus hermanas(G) aquí con nosotros?». Y se escandalizaban a causa de Él(H). 4 Y Jesús les dijo: «No hay profeta sin honra sino en su propia tierra(I), y entre sus parientes y en su casa(J)».
5 Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro[d]; solo sanó a unos pocos enfermos sobre los cuales puso Sus manos(K). 6 Estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos.
Y recorría las aldeas de alrededor enseñando(L).
Jesús envía a los doce
7 (M)Entonces Jesús llamó* a los doce(N) y comenzó a enviarlos de dos en dos(O), dándoles autoridad[e] sobre los espíritus inmundos; 8 y les ordenó que no llevaran nada para el camino(P), sino solo un bordón; ni pan, ni alforja[f], ni dinero en el cinto; 9 sino calzados con sandalias. «No lleven dos túnicas[g]», les dijo. 10 Y añadió: «Dondequiera que entren en una casa, quédense en ella hasta que salgan de la población[h]. 11 En cualquier lugar que no los reciban ni los escuchen, al salir de allí, sacúdanse el polvo de la planta[i]de los pies(Q)en testimonio contra ellos».
12 Saliendo los doce, predicaban[j](R) que todos se arrepintieran. 13 También echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite a muchos enfermos y los sanaban(S).
Muerte de Juan el Bautista
14 (T)El rey Herodes se enteró[k] de esto, pues el nombre de Jesús[l] se había hecho célebre, y la gente decía: «Juan el Bautista(U) ha resucitado de entre los muertos, por eso es que estos poderes milagrosos actúan en él». 15 Pero otros decían: «Es Elías». Y decían otros: «Es un profeta, como uno de los profetas antiguos(V)». 16 Al oír esto, Herodes decía: «Juan, a quien yo decapité, ha resucitado». 17 Porque Herodes mismo había enviado a prender a Juan y lo había encadenado en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, mujer de su hermano Felipe(W), pues Herodes se había casado con ella. 18 Y Juan le decía a Herodes: «No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano(X)».
19 Herodías(Y) le tenía rencor y deseaba matarlo, pero no podía, 20 porque Herodes temía a Juan, sabiendo que era un hombre justo y santo(Z), y lo mantenía protegido. Cuando le oía se quedaba muy perplejo, pero le gustaba escucharlo[m].
21 Llegó un día oportuno, cuando Herodes, siendo su cumpleaños, ofreció un banquete(AA) a sus nobles y comandantes[n] y a los principales de Galilea(AB); 22 y cuando la hija de Herodías[o](AC) entró y danzó, agradó a Herodes y a los que se sentaban[p] a la mesa con él; y el rey dijo a la muchacha: «Pídeme lo que quieras y te lo daré».
23 Y le juró: «Te daré lo que me pidas, hasta la mitad de mi reino(AD)». 24 Ella salió y dijo a su madre: «¿Qué pediré?». «La cabeza de Juan el Bautista», le respondió ella. 25 Enseguida ella se presentó apresuradamente ante el rey con su petición[q], diciendo: «Quiero que me des ahora mismo la cabeza de Juan el Bautista en una bandeja».
26 Aunque el rey se puso muy triste, sin embargo a causa de sus juramentos y de los que se sentaban[r] con él a la mesa, no quiso contradecirla. 27 Al instante el rey envió a un verdugo y le ordenó que trajera la cabeza de Juan[s]. Y él fue y lo decapitó en la cárcel, 28 y trajo su cabeza en una bandeja, y se la dio a la muchacha, y la muchacha se la dio a su madre. 29 Cuando los discípulos de Juan oyeron esto, fueron y se llevaron el cuerpo y le dieron sepultura[t].
Alimentación de los cinco mil
30 Los apóstoles(AE) se reunieron* con Jesús, y le informaron sobre todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado(AF). 31 Y Él les dijo*: «Vengan, apártense de los demás a un lugar solitario y descansen un poco». Porque había muchos que iban y venían, y ellos no tenían tiempo ni siquiera para comer(AG). 32 (AH)Y se fueron en la barca a un lugar solitario, apartado(AI). 33 Pero la gente los vio salir, y muchos los reconocieron y juntos corrieron allá a pie de todas las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos.
34 Al desembarcar[u], Jesús vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor(AJ); y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. 35 Y cuando ya era muy tarde, Sus discípulos se acercaron a Él, diciendo: «El lugar está desierto y ya es muy tarde; 36 despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y se compren algo de comer[v]».
37 «Denles ustedes de comer», les contestó Jesús. Y ellos le dijeron*: «¿Quieres que vayamos y compremos 200 denarios[w](AK) de pan y les demos de comer(AL)?». 38 Jesús les dijo*: «¿Cuántos panes tienen ustedes? Vayan y vean». Y cuando se cercioraron le dijeron*: «Cinco panes y dos peces».
39 Y les mandó que todos se recostaran por grupos sobre la hierba verde. 40 Y se recostaron por grupos de cien y de cincuenta. 41 Entonces Él tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, los bendijo; partió los panes y los iba dando a los discípulos para que se los sirvieran[x](AM); también repartió los dos peces entre todos.
42 Todos comieron y se saciaron. 43 Recogieron doce cestas llenas de los pedazos(AN), y también de los peces. 44 Los que comieron los panes eran 5,000 hombres(AO).
Jesús anda sobre el mar
45 (AP)Enseguida Jesús hizo que Sus discípulos subieran a la barca(AQ) y fueran delante de Él al otro lado, a Betsaida(AR), mientras Él despedía a la multitud. 46 Después de despedirse de ellos(AS), se fue al monte a orar(AT). 47 Al anochecer, la barca estaba en medio del mar, y Él estaba solo en tierra. 48 Y al verlos remar fatigados, porque el viento les era contrario, como a la cuarta vigilia de la noche(AU)[y], fue* hacia ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería pasarlos de largo.
49 Pero cuando ellos lo vieron andando sobre el mar, pensaron que era un fantasma y se pusieron a gritar; 50 porque todos lo vieron y se turbaron. Pero enseguida Él habló con ellos y les dijo*: «¡Tengan ánimo(AV); soy Yo, no teman(AW)!». 51 Subió con ellos a la barca(AX), y el viento se calmó; y ellos estaban asombrados en gran manera, 52 porque no habían entendido lo de[z] los panes, sino que su mente estaba embotada[aa](AY).
Jesús en Genesaret
53 (AZ)Terminada la travesía, llegaron a tierra en Genesaret, y atracaron en la orilla. 54 Cuando salieron de la barca, la gente enseguida reconoció a Jesús, 55 y recorrieron apresuradamente toda aquella región, y comenzaron a traer a los enfermos en sus camillas adonde oían decir que Él estaba. 56 Dondequiera que Él entraba en aldeas, ciudades o campos, ponían a los enfermos en las plazas, y le rogaban que les permitiera tocar(BA) siquiera el borde de Su manto(BB); y todos los que lo tocaban quedaban curados[ab].

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在拿撒勒被拒绝
6 耶稣离开那地方，来到自己的家乡，他的门徒们也跟着他。 2 到了安息日，他开始在会堂里教导人。许多人听了就惊叹不已，说：“这个人从哪里得来这些呢？赐给这个人的到底是什么样的智慧？藉着他的手所行出来的到底是怎么样的神迹？ 3 这不就是那木匠吗？不就是玛丽亚的儿子，雅各、约西、犹大和西门的哥哥[a]吗？他的妹妹们[b]不也和我们在这里吗？”这样，他们就对耶稣很反感[c]。
4 耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡、本族、本家以外，没有不受尊重的。” 5 所以，耶稣无法在那里行什么神迹，只是按手在几个病人身上，使他们痊愈。 6 因为他们的不信，耶稣十分感慨。
差派十二使徒
于是，他就走遍各村庄四处教导人。 7 耶稣召来十二使徒[d]，开始差派他们两个两个地出去，赐给他们权柄胜过污灵， 8 并且吩咐他们说：“在路上除了手杖什么都不要带。不要带食物，不要带行囊，腰包里也不要带钱。 9 要穿上鞋子。不要穿两件衣服[e]。” 10 他又对他们说：“无论在哪里，你们进了一家，就要住在哪里，直到离开那地方。 11 如果有什么地方的人不接受你们，也不听你们，你们离开那里的时候，要把脚底的尘土跺掉，做为对他们的见证。[f]”
12 使徒们就出去宣讲道：人人都当悔改。 13 他们驱赶了很多鬼魔，又用油来膏抹许多病人，使他们痊愈。
施洗约翰之死
14 耶稣的名声被传扬出去，希律王也听见了。有些人[g]说：“施洗者[h]约翰从死人中复活了，所以这些能力在他里面做工。” 15 也有些人说：“他是以利亚。”还有些人说：“他是个先知，像古代[i]先知中的一位。”
16 但希律听了却说：“是被我砍了头的约翰！这个人[j]复活了！” 17 原来，希律为了他弟弟[k]菲利普的妻子希罗迪娅的缘故，曾经派人去拘捕约翰，把他捆锁在监狱里。希律娶了这个女人， 18 而约翰一直对希律说：“你占有自己兄弟的妻子是不可以的。” 19 所以希罗迪娅对约翰怀恨在心，想要杀他，只是不能。 20 这是因为希律敬畏约翰，知道他是义人，是圣人，所以保护着他。希律听约翰讲说的时候，虽然心里十分困惑[l]，还是乐意听他的。
21 可是时机来了。希律在自己生日那天预备宴席，招待他的大臣和军官们，以及加利利的首领们。 22 希罗迪娅的女儿[m]进来跳舞，使希律和一同坐席的人都非常喜悦。王就对女孩说：“你无论想要什么，向我求，我就会给你。” 23 并且对她郑重地起誓：“你无论向我求什么，即使是我国家的一半，我也会给你！”
24 于是女孩出去问她母亲说：“我应该要什么呢？”
她母亲说：“要施洗者[n]约翰的头！”
25 女孩随即赶快进到王那里，要求说：“我愿王立即把施洗者[o]约翰的头放在盘子里给我。”
26 王就变得很忧愁，但因所起的誓，又因坐席的人，就不好拒绝她。 27 于是王立刻派了刽子手，命令把约翰的头拿来。刽子手就去，在监狱里砍下了约翰的头， 28 把他的头放在盘子上，端给女孩，女孩就把它交给了母亲。 29 约翰的门徒们听到了，就来把他的遗体领去，安放在坟墓里。
五饼二鱼
30 使徒们聚集到耶稣那里，把他们所做的和教导的一切告诉了他。 31 耶稣对他们说：“来，你们自己单独到一个荒僻的地方休息一会儿吧。”这是因为来往的人多，他们连吃饭的时间也没有。 32 于是他们悄悄地坐船出发，往一个荒僻的地方去。 33 可是众人[p]看见他们离开了，并且有许多人认出他们[q]，就从各城镇一起徒步赶往那里，而且比他们先到了[r]。 34 耶稣下了船，看见一大群人，就对他们动了怜悯之心，因为他们像羊没有牧人那样。耶稣就开始教导他们很多事。
35 天已经晚了，他的门徒们来到耶稣面前，说：“这是个荒僻的地方，而且天已经晚了。 36 请遣散大家，好让他们到周围的田舍和村庄去，为自己买些东西吃[s]。”
37 但耶稣回答他们，说：“你们给他们吃的吧。”
门徒们说：“要我们去买两百个银币[t]的饼给他们吃吗？”
38 耶稣问他们：“你们有多少饼呢？去看看。”
他们察看后，就说：“有五个，还有两条鱼。”
39 耶稣吩咐他们，叫众人一组一组地坐在青草地上。 40 众人就一群一群地坐了下来，有的一百人，有的五十人。 41 耶稣拿起这五个饼和两条鱼，抬头望天，祝福了，然后把饼掰开，不断递给他的门徒们，让他们分给众人。他把两条鱼也分给大家。 42 大家都吃了，并且吃饱了。 43 他们把饼和鱼的碎块收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。 44 吃饼的人，男人就有五千。
在水面上行走
45 耶稣随即催促他的门徒们上船，要他们先往对岸的伯赛达去；这期间，他自己遣散了人群。 46 他告别了他们，就上山去祷告。 47 到了晚上，船在湖[u]中，只有耶稣一个人在岸上。 48 他看见门徒们由于逆风，划船非常艰苦。天快亮的时候[v]，耶稣在湖面上行走，向他们而去，想要从他们旁边走过去。 49 门徒们看见耶稣在湖面上行走，以为是幽灵，于是喊叫起来， 50 因为他们都看见了他，就惊慌不安。耶稣立刻与他们讲话，对他们说：“鼓起勇气吧！是我，不要怕。” 51 接着，耶稣上了船和他们在一起。这时候风就停了。门徒们心里感到极其惊讶[w]， 52 因为他们不领悟分[x]饼的事，他们还是硬着心。
在革尼撒勒治病
53 他们渡过去，到革尼撒勒上岸，把船拴好。 54 一下船，众人就认出了耶稣。 55 人们跑遍那整个地区，听到耶稣在哪里，就把有病的人用垫子抬到哪里。 56 无论耶稣进到哪里，或村庄、或城镇、或乡下，人们就把病人放在街市上，恳求耶稣只要让他们摸一下他的衣服穗子。凡是摸着的人，都得了救治。

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.
