Jesus in his hometown
6 Jesus left that place and came to his hometown. His disciples followed him. 2 On the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard him were surprised. “Where did this man get all this? What’s this wisdom he’s been given? What about the powerful acts accomplished through him? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t he Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were repulsed by him and fell into sin.
4 Jesus said to them, “Prophets are honored everywhere except in their own hometowns, among their relatives, and in their own households.” 5 He was unable to do any miracles there, except that he placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He was appalled by their disbelief.
Sending out the disciples
Then Jesus traveled through the surrounding villages teaching.
7 He called for the Twelve and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick—no bread, no bags, and no money in their belts. 9 He told them to wear sandals but not to put on two shirts. 10 He said, “Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place. 11 If a place doesn’t welcome you or listen to you, as you leave, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should change their hearts and lives. 13 They cast out many demons, and they anointed many sick people with olive oil and healed them.
Death of John the Baptist
14 Herod the king heard about these things, because the name of Jesus had become well-known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and this is why miraculous powers are at work through him.” 15 Others were saying, “He is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the ancient prophets.” 16 But when Herod heard these rumors, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised to life.”
17 He said this because Herod himself had arranged to have John arrested and put in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother Philip. Herod had married her, 18 but John told Herod, “It’s against the law for you to marry your brother’s wife!” 19 So Herodias had it in for John. She wanted to kill him, but she couldn’t. 20 This was because Herod respected John. He regarded him as a righteous and holy person, so he protected him. John’s words greatly confused Herod, yet he enjoyed listening to him.
21 Finally, the time was right. It was on one of Herod’s birthdays, when he had prepared a feast for his high-ranking officials and military officers and Galilee’s leading residents. 22 Herod’s daughter Herodias[a] came in and danced, thrilling Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the young woman, “Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23 Then he swore to her, “Whatever you ask I will give to you, even as much as half of my kingdom.”
24 She left the banquet hall and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”
“John the Baptist’s head,” Herodias replied.
25 Hurrying back to the ruler, she made her request: “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head on a plate, right this minute.” 26 Although the king was upset, because of his solemn pledge and his guests, he didn’t want to refuse her. 27 So he ordered a guard to bring John’s head. The guard went to the prison, cut off John’s head, 28 brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the young woman, and she gave it to her mother. 29 When John’s disciples heard what had happened, they came and took his dead body and laid it in a tomb.
Jesus feeds five thousand people
30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. 31 Many people were coming and going, so there was no time to eat. He said to the apostles, “Come by yourselves to a secluded place and rest for a while.” 32 They departed in a boat by themselves for a deserted place.
33 Many people saw them leaving and recognized them, so they ran ahead from all the cities and arrived before them. 34 When Jesus arrived and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.
35 Late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This is an isolated place, and it’s already late in the day. 36 Send them away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something to eat for themselves.”
37 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
But they said to him, “Should we go off and buy bread worth almost eight months’ pay[b] and give it to them to eat?”
38 He said to them, “How much bread do you have? Take a look.”
After checking, they said, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”
39 He directed the disciples to seat all the people in groups as though they were having a banquet on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 Everyone ate until they were full. 43 They filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of bread and fish. 44 About five thousand had eaten.
Jesus walks on water
45 Right then, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and go ahead to the other side of the lake, toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After saying good-bye to them, Jesus went up onto a mountain to pray. 47 Evening came and the boat was in the middle of the lake, but he was alone on the land. 48 He saw his disciples struggling. They were trying to row forward, but the wind was blowing against them. Very early in the morning, he came to them, walking on the lake. He intended to pass by them. 49 When they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost and they screamed. 50 Seeing him was terrifying to all of them. Just then he spoke to them, “Be encouraged! It’s me. Don’t be afraid.” 51 He got into the boat, and the wind settled down. His disciples were so baffled they were beside themselves. 52 That’s because they hadn’t understood about the loaves. Their minds had been closed so that they resisted God’s ways.
Healings at Gennesaret
53 When Jesus and his disciples had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret, anchored the boat, 54 and came ashore. People immediately recognized Jesus 55 and ran around that whole region bringing sick people on their mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 Wherever he went—villages, cities, or farming communities—they would place the sick in the marketplaces and beg him to allow them to touch even the hem of his clothing. Everyone who touched him was healed.

Marcos 6
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Hindi Tinanggap si Jesus sa Nazaret(A)
6 Umalis si Jesus sa lugar na iyon at umuwi sa sarili niyang bayan. Kasama niya ang kanyang mga tagasunod. 2 Pagdating ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, pumunta siya sa sambahan ng mga Judio at nagturo roon. Nagtaka ang maraming taong nakikinig sa kanya. Sinabi nila, “Saan kaya niya nakuha ang karunungang iyan? At ano ang karunungang ito na ibinigay sa kanya? Paano siya nakagagawa ng mga himala? 3 Hindi baʼt siya ang karpinterong anak ni Maria, at kapatid nina Santiago, Jose, Judas at Simon? Hindi baʼt ang mga kapatid niyang babae ay dito rin nakatira sa atin?” At hindi siya pinaniwalaan. 4 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang isang propeta ay iginagalang kahit saan, maliban sa kanyang sariling bayan at mga kamag-anak at mga kasambahay.” 5 Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit hindi siya nakagawa ng mga himala roon maliban sa ilang maysakit na pinatungan niya ng kanyang kamay at pinagaling. 6 Nagtaka siya sa kawalan nila ng pananampalataya sa kanya.
Sinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawang Apostol(B)
Nilibot ni Jesus ang mga kanayunan at nangaral sa mga tao. 7 Tinawag niya ang 12 apostol at sinugo sila nang dala-dalawa. Binigyan niya sila ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu. 8 At ibinilin niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong magdala ng anuman sa inyong paglalakbay, kahit pagkain, pera o bag, maliban sa isang tungkod. 9 Pwede kayong magsuot ng sandalyas, pero huwag kayong magdala ng bihisan. 10 Kapag pinatuloy kayo sa isang bahay, doon na lang kayo manatili hanggang sa pag-alis ninyo sa lugar na iyon. 11 Kung ayaw kayong tanggapin o pakinggan ng mga tao sa isang lugar, umalis kayo roon at ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa bilang babala laban sa kanila.” 12 Kaya umalis ang 12 at nangaral sa mga tao na dapat nilang pagsisihan ang kanilang mga kasalanan. 13 Pinalayas nila ang maraming masamang espiritu at maraming may sakit ang pinahiran nila ng langis at pinagaling.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(C)
14 Nabalitaan ni Haring Herodes ang tungkol kay Jesus dahil kilalang-kilala na siya kahit saan. May mga nagsasabi, “Siya ay si Juan na tagapagbautismo na muling nabuhay, kaya nakagagawa siya ng mga himala.” 15 Ang sabi naman ng iba, “Siya ay si Elias.” At may mga nagsasabi rin na siya ay isang propeta na tulad ng mga propeta noong unang panahon.
16 Pero nang mabalitaan ni Herodes ang mga sinabing iyon ng mga tao, sinabi niya, “Muling nabuhay si Juan na pinapugutan ko ng ulo!” 17 Ipinahuli noon ni Herodes si Juan at ipinabilanggo, dahil tinutuligsa ni Juan ang relasyon niya kay Herodias. Si Herodias ay asawa ng kapatid ni Herodes na si Felipe. Pero kinuha siya ni Herodes bilang asawa. 18 Laging sinasabihan ni Juan si Herodes na hindi tama na kunin niya ang asawa ng kanyang kapatid. 19 Kaya nagkimkim ng galit si Herodias kay Juan, at gusto niya itong ipapatay. Pero hindi niya magawa, dahil ayaw pumayag ni Herodes. 20 Takot si Herodes kay Juan dahil alam niyang matuwid at mabuting tao si Juan. Kaya ipinagtatanggol niya ito. Kahit nababagabag siya sa mga sinasabi ni Juan, gustong-gusto pa rin niyang makinig dito.
21 Pero sa wakas ay dumating din ang pagkakataong hinihintay ni Herodias. Kaarawan noon ni Herodes at nagdaos siya ng malaking handaan. Inimbita niya ang mga opisyal ng Galilea, mga kumander ng mga sundalong Romano at iba pang mga kilalang tao roon. 22 Nang oras na ng kasiyahan, pumasok ang anak na babae ni Herodias at nagsayaw. Labis na nasiyahan si Herodes at ang mga bisita niya. Kaya sinabi ni Herodes sa dalaga, “Humingi ka sa akin ng kahit anong gusto mo at ibibigay ko.” 23 At sumumpa pa siya na ibibigay niya sa dalaga kahit ang kalahati pa ng kanyang kaharian. 24 Lumabas muna ang dalaga at tinanong ang kanyang ina kung ano ang hihilingin niya. Sinabihan siya ng kanyang ina na hingin ang ulo ni Juan na tagapagbautismo. 25 Kaya dali-daling bumalik ang dalaga sa hari at sinabi, “Gusto ko pong ibigay ninyo sa akin ngayon din ang ulo ni Juan na tagapagbautismo, na nakalagay sa isang bandehado.” 26 Labis itong ikinalungkot ng hari, pero dahil nangako siya sa harap ng mga bisita niya, hindi siya makatanggi sa dalaga. 27 Kaya pinapunta niya agad sa bilangguan ang isang sundalo upang dalhin sa kanya ang ulo ni Juan. Pumunta ang sundalo sa bilangguan at pinugutan ng ulo si Juan, 28 inilagay niya ang ulo sa bandehado at ibinigay sa dalaga. At ibinigay naman ito ng dalaga sa kanyang ina. 29 Nang mabalitaan ng mga tagasunod ni Juan ang nangyari, kinuha nila ang kanyang bangkay at inilibing.
Pinakain ni Jesus ang 5,000 Tao(D)
30 Bumalik ang mga apostol na inutusan ni Jesus na mangaral, at ikinuwento nila sa kanya ang lahat ng ginawa at ipinangaral nila. 31 Dahil sa dami ng mga taong dumarating at umaalis, wala na silang panahon kahit kumain man lang. Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa mga tagasunod niya, “Iwan muna natin ang mga taong ito. Pumunta tayo sa ilang para makapagpahinga.” 32 Kaya sumakay sila sa isang bangka at pumunta sa isang ilang.
33 Pero marami ang nakakita at nakakilala sa kanila noong umalis sila. Kaya mabilis namang naglakad ang mga tao mula sa ibaʼt ibang bayan papunta sa lugar na pupuntahan nina Jesus. At nauna pa silang dumating doon. 34 Kaya nang bumaba si Jesus sa bangka, nakita niya ang napakaraming tao. Naawa siya sa kanila, dahil para silang mga tupa na walang pastol. Kaya tinuruan niya sila ng maraming bagay. 35 Nang dapit-hapon na, lumapit kay Jesus ang mga tagasunod niya at sinabi, “Nasa ilang po tayo at malapit nang gumabi. 36 Paalisin nʼyo na po ang mga tao nang makapunta sila sa mga karatig nayon at bukid para makabili ng pagkain.” 37 Pero sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kayo ang magpakain sa kanila.” Sumagot sila, “Aabutin po ng walong buwang sahod ang gagastusin para sa kanila! Bibili po ba kami ng ganoong halaga ng tinapay para ipakain sa kanila?” 38 Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Ilan ba ang dala ninyong tinapay? Sige, tingnan nga ninyo.” Tiningnan nga nila, at sinabi kay Jesus, “Mayroon po tayong limang tinapay at dalawang isda.”
39 Pagkatapos, inutusan ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad na paupuin ng grupo-grupo ang mga tao sa damuhan. 40 Kaya umupo nga sila ng grupo-grupo, tig-100 at tig-50 bawat grupo. 41 Kinuha ni Jesus ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda. Tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Dios. Pagkatapos, hinati-hati niya ang tinapay at ibinigay sa mga tagasunod niya para ipamigay sa mga tao. Ganoon din ang ginawa niya sa isda. 42 Kumain silang lahat at nabusog. 43 Pagkatapos, tinipon nila ang natirang tinapay at isda, at nakapuno sila ng 12 basket. 44 Ang bilang ng mga lalaking kumain ay 5,000.
Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig(E)
45 Pagkatapos, pinasakay agad ni Jesus sa bangka ang mga tagasunod niya at pinauna sa bayan ng Betsaida, sa kabila ng lawa, habang pinapauwi niya ang mga tao. 46 Nang makaalis na ang mga tao, umakyat siya sa isang bundok upang manalangin. 47 Nang gumabi na, nasa laot na ang bangka at siya na lang ang naiwan. 48 Nakita niyang hirap sa pagsagwan ang mga tagasunod niya, dahil salungat sila sa hangin. Nang madaling-araw na, sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. Lalampasan na lang sana niya sila, 49-50 pero nakita siya ng mga tagasunod niya na lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. Natakot sila at nagsigawan, dahil akala nila ay multo siya. Pero nagsalita agad si Jesus, “Ako ito! Huwag kayong matakot. Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob.” 51 Sumakay siya sa bangka at biglang tumigil ang malakas na hangin. Namangha sila nang husto, 52 dahil hindi pa rin sila nakakaunawa kahit nakita na nila ang himalang ginawa ni Jesus sa tinapay. Ayaw nilang maniwala dahil matigas ang puso nila.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang mga May Sakit sa Genesaret(F)
53 Nang makatawid na sila sa lawa, dumating sila sa Genesaret at doon nila idinaong ang bangka. 54 Pagbaba nila, nakilala agad si Jesus ng mga tao roon. 55 Kaya nagmamadaling pumunta ang mga tao sa mga karatig lugar, inilagay sa mga higaan ang mga may sakit at dinala kay Jesus saan man nila mabalitaang naroon siya. 56 Kahit saan siya pumunta, sa nayon, sa bayan, o sa kabukiran, dinadala ng mga tao ang mga may sakit sa kanila sa mga lugar na pinagtitipunan ng mga tao. Nagmamakaawa sila kay Jesus na kung maaari ay pahipuin niya ang mga may sakit kahit man lang sa laylayan[a] ng kanyang damit. At ang lahat ng nakahipo ay gumaling.

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.
