De bewoners van Nazaret geloven niet in Jezus
6 Jezus vertrok weer en ging naar zijn eigen stad, Nazaret. Zijn leerlingen gingen met Hem mee. 2 Op de heilige rustdag ging Hij les geven in de synagoge. Veel van de mensen die Hem hoorden, waren heel verbaasd. Ze zeiden: "Waar heeft Hij die dingen vandaan? Hoe komt Hij aan die wijsheid? Hoe kan Hij zulke wonderen doen? 3 Hij is toch de timmerman, de zoon van Maria, en de broer van Jakobus, Joses, Judas en Simon? En zijn zussen wonen toch ook hier?" En ze geloofden Hem niet. 4 Jezus zei tegen hen: "Alleen in zijn eigen stad en in zijn eigen familie hebben de mensen geen respect voor een profeet." 5 En Hij kon daar geen grote wonderen doen. Alleen maakte Hij een paar zieke mensen gezond door hun de handen op te leggen. 6 En Hij was verbaasd over hun ongeloof.
Hij reisde door de dorpen rond Nazaret en gaf daar les.
Jezus stuurt zijn twaalf leerlingen op pad
7 Jezus riep zijn twaalf leerlingen bij Zich en stuurde hen twee aan twee op pad. Hij gaf hun macht over duivelse geesten. 8 En Hij beval hen om niets mee te nemen voor onderweg. Alleen een staf. Maar geen reistas, geen brood en geen geld. 9 Maar wél moesten ze sandalen aan hun voeten doen. Ook zei Hij dat ze geen extra kleren mochten meenemen. 10 En Hij zei tegen hen: "Als je eenmaal bij iemand onderdak hebt gekregen, blijf daar dan tot je uit die stad vertrekt. 11 En als in een stad de mensen niet naar jullie willen luisteren, klop dan het stof van je voeten af wanneer jullie daar vertrekken. Zo moeten jullie hen waarschuwen. Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat het voor het gebied van Sodom en Gomorra[a] minder erg zal zijn op de dag van het oordeel dan voor die stad."
12 Ze vertrokken en vertelden de mensen dat ze moesten gaan leven zoals God het wil. 13 Ze joegen veel duivelse geesten uit mensen weg en maakten veel mensen gezond door hen met olijf-olie te zalven.
De dood van Johannes de Doper
14 Ook koning Herodes hoorde over Jezus, want overal werd er over Hem gepraat. En hij zei: "Johannes de Doper is uit de dood opgestaan! Daarom kan Hij van die grote wonderen doen!" 15 Andere mensen zeiden: "Hij is de profeet Elia."[b] Weer anderen zeiden: "Hij is een profeet zoals de profeten van vroeger." 16 Toen Herodes over Hem hoorde, zei hij: "Het is Johannes die ik heb laten onthoofden. Hij is uit de dood opgestaan!" 17+18 Want Herodes had Johannes in de gevangenis laten zetten. Hij had dat gedaan omdat Johannes tegen hem had gezegd: "U mag de vrouw van uw broer niet hebben." Want Herodes was getrouwd met Herodias, de vrouw van zijn broer Filippus.
19 Herodias wilde dat Johannes gedood zou worden. 20 Maar Herodes durfde hem niet te doden. Want hij wist dat Johannes een goed en heilig man was. Daarom beschermde hij hem. Als hij naar Johannes had geluisterd, voelde hij zich erg onrustig. Toch luisterde hij graag naar hem.
21 Maar op een dag zag Herodias een kans om hem te doden. Herodes hield voor zijn verjaardag een feestmaaltijd. Hij had de leiders van het land, de legerleiding en de belangrijke mensen uit Galilea uitgenodigd. 22 De dochter van Herodias kwam voor de gasten dansen. Herodes en zijn gasten vonden haar geweldig. De koning beloofde het meisje: "Vraag van mij wat je maar wil, en ik zal het je geven." 23 Hij zwoer het zelfs: "Ik zal je alles geven wat je van me vraagt. Al was het de helft van mijn koninkrijk." 24 Ze ging naar haar moeder en vroeg: "Wat zal ik vragen?" Haar moeder zei: "Vraag hem om het hoofd van Johannes de Doper." 25 Ze ging snel de zaal weer in en zei tegen de koning: "Ik wil dat u mij onmiddellijk op een schotel het hoofd van Johannes de Doper geeft." 26 De koning werd erg bedroefd, maar toch wilde hij geen nee zeggen. Want hij had het gezworen en hij wilde niet afgaan voor zijn gasten. 27 Onmiddellijk stuurde de koning de beul naar de gevangenis om hem het hoofd te brengen. En de beul onthoofdde Johannes in de gevangenis. 28 Hij bracht het hoofd op een schotel aan het meisje. En het meisje gaf het aan haar moeder. 29 Zijn leerlingen hoorden ervan. Ze kwamen zijn lichaam halen en begroeven hem.
Het wonder van de vijf broden en de twee vissen
30 De twaalf leerlingen kwamen weer bij Jezus terug. Ze vertelden Hem alles wat ze hadden gedaan en gezegd. 31 Hij zei tegen hen: "Kom met Mij mee naar een eenzame plek en rust een beetje uit." Want allerlei mensen kwamen en gingen. Jezus en zijn leerlingen hadden zelfs geen tijd om te eten. 32 Ze vertrokken met de boot naar een eenzame plek waar ze alleen konden zijn. 33 De mensen zagen hen wegvaren. Ze letten goed op waar ze heen gingen. Toen liepen ze snel uit alle steden daarheen en waren er eerder dan zij.
34 Toen Hij uit de boot stapte, zag Hij de grote groep mensen. Hij kreeg medelijden met hen, want ze leken op schapen die geen herder hebben. En Hij begon hen veel dingen te leren.
35 Toen het al laat was geworden, gingen zijn leerlingen naar Hem toe. Ze zeiden: "Het is hier eenzaam en het is al laat. 36 Stuur de mensen nu maar weg. Dan kunnen ze naar de dorpen hier in de omgeving gaan om eten te kopen. Want ze hebben niets te eten bij zich." 37 Maar Hij antwoordde: "Geven jullie hun maar te eten." Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "Moeten we dan voor 200 zilverstukken brood gaan kopen om hun te eten te geven?" 38 Hij zei tegen hen: "Ga eens kijken hoeveel brood jullie hebben." Toen ze dat hadden gedaan, zeiden ze: "Vijf broden. En twee vissen." 39 Hij zei tegen hen dat de mensen in groepen op het gras moesten gaan zitten. 40 Ze gingen in groepen van 100 en van 50 zitten. 41 Hij nam de vijf broden en de twee vissen, keek omhoog naar de hemel en zegende ze. Toen brak Hij de broden in stukken. Die gaf Hij aan de leerlingen om uit te delen. Ook de twee vissen verdeelde Hij over al de mensen. 42 En de mensen aten tot ze genoeg hadden. 43 Toen haalden ze de stukken op die overgebleven waren: twaalf manden vol. Ook wat er over was van de vissen verzamelden ze weer. 44 Er hadden ongeveer 5000 mannen van de broden gegeten.
Jezus loopt op het water
45 Onmiddellijk daarna zei Jezus tegen de leerlingen dat ze in de boot moesten stappen. Hij wilde dat ze voor Hem uit naar de overkant zouden varen, naar Betsaïda. Zelf wilde Hij eerst de mensen wegsturen. 46 Hij nam afscheid van de mensen. Daarna klom Hij de berg op om te bidden. 47 Toen het nacht begon te worden, was het schip midden op het meer. Jezus was alleen aan land. 48 De leerlingen hadden de wind tegen. Ze moesten hard zwoegen om vooruit te komen. Toen Hij dat zag, kwam Hij naar hen toe. Het was inmiddels ongeveer drie uur 's nachts. Hij liep over het meer en wilde hen voorbij gaan. 49 Toen ze Hem op het meer zagen lopen, dachten ze dat ze een spook zagen. Ze schreeuwden van angst. 50 Ze zagen Hem allemaal en ze waren doodsbang. Maar Hij zei tegen hen: "Rustig maar! IK BEN het,[c] wees maar niet bang." 51 Hij klom bij hen in de boot en de wind ging liggen. 52 De leerlingen waren geschokt en verbaasd. Want ook al hadden ze gezien wat er met de broden gebeurde, toch hadden ze nog steeds niet begrepen wie Jezus was. Ze konden het gewoon niet begrijpen.
53 Toen ze waren overgestoken, gingen ze in Gennésaret aan land. 54 Toen ze van boord gingen, herkenden de bewoners Hem gelijk. 55 De bewoners liepen de hele streek af en haalden iedereen op die erg ziek was. Ze brachten hen op matrassen naar de plaats waar ze hoorden dat Jezus was. 56 In alle dorpen en steden waar Hij kwam, legden ze de zieken op de markten. En de zieken smeekten Hem of ze Hem mochten aanraken, al was het maar de onderrand van zijn kleren. En iedereen die Hem aanraakte werd gezond.
Footnotes
- Markus 6:11 Sodom en Gomorra waren twee steden die honderden jaren eerder door God verwoest waren omdat de bewoners zo slecht waren. Lees Genesis 13:13 en Genesis 19:15, 24 en 25.
- Markus 6:15 Elia was een profeet uit de tijd van koning Achab, ongeveer 850 jaar hiervóór. De profeet Maleachi had ruim 400 jaar na Elia gezegd dat God 'de profeet Elia' op een gegeven moment naar de aarde zou sturen. Lees Maleachi 4:5. Hij zei dat dus ruim 400 jaar vóór Jezus' geboorte.
- Markus 6:50 Jezus gebruikt hier de woorden IK BEN. In het Grieks staat daar 'ego eimi,' wat veel nadrukkelijker is dan de gewone manier om 'ik ben...' te zeggen. In het oude testament maakt God Zich met de naam IK BEN aan Mozes bekend. Lees Exodus 3:14. Door deze naam te gebruiken geeft Jezus dus aan dat Hijzelf God is.

拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌
6 耶穌帶著門徒離開那地方，回到自己的家鄉。 2 到了安息日，祂開始在會堂裡教導人，眾人聽了都很驚奇，說：「這個人從哪裡學來這些本領？祂怎麼會有這種智慧？祂怎麼能行這樣的神蹟？ 3 這不是那個木匠嗎？祂不是瑪麗亞的兒子嗎？祂不是雅各、約西、猶大、西門的大哥嗎？祂的妹妹們不也住在我們這裡嗎？」他們就對祂很反感。
4 耶穌對他們說：「先知到處受人尊敬，只有在本鄉、本族、本家例外。」 5 耶穌不能在那裡行任何神蹟，只把手按在幾個病人身上，醫治了他們。 6 他們的不信令耶穌詫異，於是祂就去周圍的村莊教導人。
差遣十二使徒
7 耶穌召集了十二個使徒，差遣他們兩個兩個地出去，賜給他們制伏污鬼的權柄， 8 又吩咐他們除了手杖之外，不用帶食物和背囊，腰包裡也不要帶錢， 9 只穿一雙鞋子和一套衣服就夠了。 10 祂說：「你們無論到哪裡，就住在那些接待你們的人家裡，一直住到離開。 11 如果某地方的人不接待你們，不聽你們傳的道，你們在離開之前要跺掉腳上的塵土，作為對他們的警告！」
12 使徒便出去傳道，勸人悔改， 13 趕出許多鬼，為許多病人抹油，治好他們。
施洗者約翰遇害
14 耶穌聲名遠播，希律王也聽說了祂的事。有人說：「施洗者約翰從死裡復活了，所以能夠行這些神蹟。」
15 也有人說：「祂是先知以利亞。」
還有人說：「祂是個先知，跟古代的一位先知相似。」
16 希律聽到這些議論，就說：「祂一定是被我斬了頭的約翰從死裡復活了。」 17 原來希律娶了他兄弟腓力的妻子希羅底，並為她的緣故而派人逮捕了約翰，把他關押在監牢裡。 18 因為約翰屢次對希律說：「你娶弟弟的妻子不合法。」
19 希羅底對約翰懷恨在心，想要殺掉他，只是不能得逞。 20 因為希律知道約翰是個公義聖潔的人，所以敬畏他，並對他加以保護。儘管約翰所講的道理令他困惑不安，他仍然喜歡聽。
21 機會終於來了。希律在自己的生日那天設宴招待文武百官和加利利的顯要。 22 希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，甚得希律和客人的歡心。王對她說：「你想要什麼，只管說。」 23 王還對她起誓說：「無論你要什麼，哪怕是我的半壁江山，我都會給你。」
24 她便出去問她母親：「我應該要什麼呢？」
她母親說：「要施洗者約翰的頭！」
25 她馬上回去對王說：「願王立刻把施洗者約翰的頭放在盤子裡送給我。」
26 王聽了這個請求，感到十分為難，但因為在賓客面前起了誓言，就不好拒絕。 27 他立刻命令衛兵進監牢砍了約翰的頭， 28 放在盤子裡送給這女子，她又轉送給她母親。 29 約翰的門徒聽到這個消息，就來把約翰的屍體領回去，安葬在墳墓裡。
耶穌使五千人吃飽
30 使徒們聚集在耶穌身邊，向祂報告事工和傳道的經過。 31 耶穌對他們說：「你們私下跟我到僻靜的地方去歇一會兒吧。」因為當時來來往往找他們的人實在太多，他們連吃飯的時間都沒有。
32 他們乘船悄悄地到了一處僻靜的地方。 33 可是有許多人看見他們離開，認出了他們，便從各城鎮步行趕往那裡，比他們先到達。 34 耶穌一下船，看見這一大群人好像沒有牧人的羊，心裡憐憫他們，於是教導了他們許多道理。
35 天色晚了，門徒過來對耶穌說：「時候已經不早了，這裡又是荒郊野外， 36 請遣散眾人，好讓他們到周圍的村莊去自己買些吃的。」
37 耶穌說：「你們給他們吃的吧。」
門徒說：「我們哪來這麼多錢買東西給他們吃啊？」
38 耶穌說：「看看你們有多少餅。」
他們察看後，說：「有五個餅和兩條魚。」
39 耶穌吩咐門徒叫大家分組坐在草地上。 40 於是眾人坐下，有的五十人一組，有的一百人一組。 41 耶穌拿起那五個餅、兩條魚，舉目望著天祝謝後，掰開遞給門徒，讓他們分給眾人。祂又照樣把那兩條魚分給眾人。 42 大家都吃了，並且吃飽了。 43 門徒把剩下的碎餅、碎魚收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 44 當時吃餅的男人有五千。
耶穌在湖面上行走
45 隨後，耶穌催門徒上船，叫他們先渡到湖對岸的伯賽大，祂則遣散眾人。 46 祂辭別了眾人後，就上山去禱告。 47 到了晚上，門徒的船在湖中心，耶穌獨自留在岸上。 48 大約凌晨三點鐘，祂看見門徒在逆風中搖櫓，非常吃力，就從水面上朝門徒走去，想要從他們旁邊經過。 49 門徒看見有人在湖面上走，以為是幽靈，嚇得驚叫起來。 50 全船的人看見祂，都嚇壞了，耶穌立刻對他們說：「放心吧，是我，不要怕！」
51 耶穌上了船，來到他們那裡，風便停了。門徒心裡十分驚奇， 52 因為他們仍然不明白耶穌分餅那件事的意義，心裡還是愚頑。 53 他們渡到湖對岸，來到革尼撒勒，在那裡靠岸， 54 剛一下船，眾人立刻認出了耶穌。 55 他們跑遍那一帶地方，用墊子把生病的人抬來，聽到耶穌在哪裡，就把病人抬到哪裡。 56 耶穌不論到哪一個城市、鄉鎮和村莊，人們總是把病人抬到街市上，求耶穌讓他們摸一摸祂衣裳的穗邊，所有摸過的病人都好了。

Rejection at Nazareth
6 He(A) went away from 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) 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 Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet(N) is not without honor(O) except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” 5 So He was not able to do any miracles[a](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)
Commissioning the Twelve
Now He was going around the villages in a circuit, teaching.(V) 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 walking stick: no bread, no traveling bag,(AC) no money in their belts. 9 They were to wear sandals, but not put on an extra shirt.(AD) 10 Then 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 and people refuse to listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet(AF) as a testimony(AG) against them.”[b]
12 So they went out and preached(AH) that people should repent.(AI) 13 And they were driving out many demons,(AJ) anointing(AK) many sick(AL) people with olive oil,(AM) and healing them.(AN)
John the Baptist Beheaded
14 King(AO) Herod(AP) heard of this, because Jesus’ name(AQ) had become well known. Some[c] said, “John the Baptist(AR) has been raised from the dead,(AS) and that’s why supernatural powers(AT) are at work(AU) in him.” 15 But others said, “He’s Elijah.”(AV) Still others said, “He’s a prophet[d]—like one of the prophets.”(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, whom he had married.(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 was in awe(BH) of[e] John and was protecting him, knowing he was a righteous(BI) and holy(BJ) man. When Herod heard him he would be very disturbed,[f](BK) yet would hear him gladly.(BL)
21 Now 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[g] 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 So he swore(BR) oaths(BS) to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(BT)
24 Then she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”
“John the Baptist’s(BU) head!” she said.
25 Immediately she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s(BV) head on a platter(BW)—right now!”
26 Though the king was deeply distressed,(BX) because of his oaths(BY) and the guests[h] 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 his disciples[i](CA) heard about it, they came and removed his corpse and placed it in a tomb.(CB)
Feeding 5,000
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. People ran there by land from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.[j] 34 So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge 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 was already late, His disciples(CG) approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness,(CH) and it is already late! 36 Send them away, so 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 200 denarii(CI) worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look.”
When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Then He instructed them to have all the people sit down[k] in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in ranks of hundreds and fifties. 41 Then 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 filled.(CJ) 43 Then they picked up 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish. 44 Now those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.
Walking on the Water
45 Immediately(CK) He made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida,(CL) while He dismissed the crowd. 46 After He said good-bye to them, He went away to the mountain(CM) to pray.(CN) 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 He saw them being battered(CO) as they rowed,[l] because the wind was against them. Around three in the morning[m] 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(CP) and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were terrified.(CQ) Immediately He spoke with them and said, “Have courage!(CR) It is I.(CS) Don’t be afraid.”(CT) 51 Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. They were completely astounded,[n] 52 because they had not understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.(CU)
Miraculous Healings
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret(CV) and beached the boat. 54 As they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Him. 55 They hurried throughout that vicinity and began to carry the sick(CW) on mats to wherever they heard He was. 56 Wherever He would go, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch just the tassel(CX) of His robe.(CY) And everyone who touched it was made well.

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.
