The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 6
{6:1} He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his
[1>]talmidim[<1] followed him. {6:2} When the Shabbat had come, he
began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished,
saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the
wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by
his hands? {6:3} Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Miryam, and
brother of Ya`akov, Yosi, Yehudah, and Shim`on? Aren't his sisters
here with us?" They were offended at him.
{6:4} Yeshua said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except
in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own
house." {6:5} He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid
his hands on a few sick folk, and healed them. {6:6} He marveled
because of their unbelief.
He went around the villages teaching. {6:7} He called to himself the
twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them
authority over the unclean spirits. {6:8} He charged them that they
should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread,
no wallet, no money in their purse, {6:9} but to wear sandals, and not
put on two tunics. {6:10} He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a
house, stay there until you depart from there. {6:11} Whoever will not
receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust
that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I
tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sedom and `Amorah in the day
of judgment than for that city!"
{6:12} They went out and preached that people should repent. {6:13}
They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick,
and healed them. {6:14} King Herod heard this, for his name had become
known, and he said, "Yochanan the immerser has risen from the dead,
and therefore these powers are at work in him." {6:15} But others
said, "It is Eliyah." Others said, "It is the Prophet, or like one of
the prophets." {6:16} But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is
Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead." {6:17} For
Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan, and bound him in
prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Pilipos's wife, for he
had married her. {6:18} For Yochanan said to Herod, "It is not lawful
for you to have your brother's wife." {6:19} Herodias set herself
against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't, {6:20} for
Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man,
and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard
him gladly.
{6:21} Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a
supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of the
Galil. {6:22} When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and
danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to
the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
{6:23} He swore to her, "Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give
you, up to half of my kingdom."
{6:24} She went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?"
She said, "The head of Yochanan the immerser."
{6:25} She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I
want you to give me right now the head of Yochanan the immerser on a
platter."
{6:26} The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his
oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn't wish to refuse her. {6:27}
Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to
bring Yochanan's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
{6:28} and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young
lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
{6:29} When his [2>]talmidim[<2] heard this, they came and took up
his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
{6:30} The apostles gathered themselves together to Yeshua, and they
told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had
taught. {6:31} He said to them, "You come apart into a deserted place,
and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had
no leisure so much as to eat. {6:32} They went away in the boat to a
desert place by themselves. {6:33} They saw them going, and many
recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived
before them and came together to him. {6:34} Yeshua came out, saw a
great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were like
sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
{6:35} When it was late in the day, his [3>]talmidim[<3] came to him,
and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day. {6:36}
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and
villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."
{6:37} But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."
They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of
bread, and give them something to eat?"
{6:38} He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see."
When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
{6:39} He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on
the green grass. {6:40} They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by
fifties. {6:41} He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking
up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his
[4>]talmidim[<4] to set before them, and he divided the two fish among
them all. {6:42} They all ate, and were filled. {6:43} They took up
twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. {6:44}
Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
{6:45} Immediately he made his [5>]talmidim[<5] get into the boat,
and to go ahead to the other side, to Beit-Tzaidah, while he himself
sent the multitude away. {6:46} After he had taken leave of them, he
went up the mountain to pray.
{6:47} When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea,
and he was alone on the land. {6:48} Seeing them distressed in rowing,
for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night
he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,
{6:49} but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that
it was a ghost, and cried out; {6:50} for they all saw him, and were
troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer
up! It is I! Don't be afraid." {6:51} He got into the boat with them;
and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and
marveled; {6:52} for they hadn't understood about the loaves, but
their hearts were hardened.
{6:53} When they had crossed over, they came to land at Ginosar, and
moored to the shore. {6:54} When they had come out of the boat,
immediately the people recognized him, {6:55} and ran around that
whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats,
to where they heard he was. {6:56} Wherever he entered, into villages,
or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the
marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the
[6>]tzitzit[<6] of his garment; and as many as touched him were made
well.
