[Mark 6]

 

             {Mat 9:27-34; Probably Capernaum.}

             {Mar 6:1-6a & Mat 13:54-58 Nazareth.}

             ^6:1 And he went forth from there, and he came into his fatherland, and his disciples follow him. ^6:2 And after it became the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing him were being astounded, saying, From where did this one receive these things? And what is the wisdom which was given to him? And how are such miracles happening through his hands? ^6:3 Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Jude and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were being offended at him.

             ^6:4 But Jesus was saying to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland and among his relatives and in his house. ^6:5 And he was not able to do^* any miracle there, except that he laid his hands upon a few who were sick and healed them. ^6:6 And he was marveling because of their unbelief.

 

             {Mar 6:6b-13 & Mat 9:35-10:42 & Luk 9:1-6 Third circuit of Galilee.}

             And he was proceeding around the villages in a circle, teaching.

             ^6:7 And he calls the twelve and began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them authority over the unclean spirits; ^6:8 and he commanded them in-order-that they should take nothing ^*for the journey, except only a staff; no knapsack, no bread, no brass coins in the belt; ^6:9 but only tied on sandals, also do^° not clothe yourselves with two tunics. ^6:10 And he said to them, Wherever you^° enter into a house, abide^° there until you^° should go from there. ^6:11 And as many as would not accept you^°, nor may not hear you^°, while traveling out from there, shake-off^° the dirt which is underneath your^° feet ^*for a testimony to them. Assuredly, I am saying to you^°, It will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. ^6:12 And they, the twelve, went forth and were preaching in-order-that they all should repent. ^6:13 And they were casting forth many demons and anointing many with oil who were sick and healing many.

 

             {Mar 6:14-29 & Mat 14:1-12 & Luk 9:7-9.}

             ^6:14 And King Herod heard of this; for^* his name became apparent to him and he was saying, John, he who immerses^*, was raised from the dead and because of this, these powers are working in him.

             ^6:15 Others were saying, He is Elijah.

             But others were saying, He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.

             ^6:16 But Herod heard of it and said, John, whom I beheaded, this one is he; he himself was raised from the dead.

 

             ^6:17 For^* Herod himself had sent forth and took-hold of John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. ^6:18 For^* John was saying to Herod, ‘It is not legal for you to have your brother’s wife.’ ^6:19 But Herodias was holding it against him. And she was willing to kill him and was not able; ^6:20 for^* Herod was fearing John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and was protecting him. And he heard him and he was doing^* many things, and was gladly hearing him, often.

             ^6:21 And when it became an opportune day, along with his birthday-festivities, when Herod was making^* a supper to his great-men and the commanders, and the foremost men of Galilee; ^6:22 and the daughter of Herodias herself entered and danced, and she pleased Herod and the ones reclining at the meal together-with him. The king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you wish and I will be giving it to you. ^6:23 And he swore to her, Whatever you might ask me, I will be giving it to you, as far as half of my kingdom.

             ^6:24 Now she went forth and said to her mother, What will I ask for?

             Now she said, The head of John the Immerser^*.

             ^6:25 And she, immediately and with diligence, entered to the king asked, saying, I wish that^* you might give me promptly the head of John the Immerser^* upon a platter.

             ^6:26 And the king became very sorrowful because of the oaths that he said and the ones reclining at the meal together-with him, he did not wish to reject her. ^6:27 And the king immediately sent forth an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. ^6:28 Now he went and beheaded him in the prison, and carried his head upon a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. ^6:29 And his disciples heard of it and came and lifted up his corpse and placed it in a tomb.

 

             {Mar 6:30-32 & Mat 14:13 & Luk 9:10 & Joh 6:1 East shore of Galilee.}

             ^6:30 And the apostles are gathered together-with Jesus, and they reported to him all things, both how-many things they had done^* and how-many they had taught. ^6:31 And he said to them, You^° yourselves come-here^° privately into a desolate place and rest^° yourselves a few. For^* the ones coming and the ones proceeding-away were many and they were not having an opportunity to eat. ^6:32 And they went away into a desolate place in the ship privately.

 

             {Mar 6:33-44 & Mat 14:13-21 & Luk 9:11-17 & Joh 6:2-14.}

             ^6:33 And they saw them proceeding-away and many recognized him and they ran together there on-foot from all of the cities and went before them, and came together to him. ^6:34 And Jesus went forth, and saw a large crowd and he had compassion upon them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd and he began to teach them many things.

             ^6:35 And after it already became a late hour, his disciples came near to him and are saying, The place is desolate and already it is a late hour; ^6:36 dismiss them, in-order-that they might buy bread for themselves, after they have gone into the circle of the rural-areas and villages, for^* they do not have what they might eat {i.e., they have nothing to eat}.

             ^6:37 But he answered and said to them, You^°, give^° them something to eat.

             And they say to him, After we have gone away, should we buy two hundred denarii worth of loaves, and we might give them that to eat?

             ^6:38 Now he says to them, How-many loaves do you^° have? Proceed-away^° and see^°.

             And after they knew, they say, Five and two fish. ^6:39 And he commanded them all to recline in groups; all the groups upon the pale-green grass. ^6:40 And they leaned-back in rows of a hundred apiece and rows of fifty apiece. ^6:41 And he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up to heaven, he gave-thanks and broke the loaves. And he was giving them to his disciples in-order-that they might place the bread beside them, and he divided the two fish to all. ^6:42 And they all ate and were fully-fed. ^6:43 And they took up twelve full baskets of broken pieces and also from the fish. ^6:44 And the ones who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

 

             {Mar 6:45-56 & Mat 14:22-36 & Joh 6:15-21.}

             ^6:45 And immediately he urged his disciples to step onto the ship, and to precede him to the other-side into Bethsaida, until he himself should dismiss the crowd. ^6:46 And he bid farewell to them and went away to the mountain to pray.

             ^6:47 And after it became evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea and he himself was alone upon the land. ^6:48 And he saw them tormented in their rowing, for^* the wind was adverse to them, and he comes to them around the fourth watch of the night, walking upon the sea, and he was willing to pass-beside them.

              ^6:49 But after they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it to be an apparition and cried out; ^6:50 for^* they all saw him and were disturbed.

             And immediately, he spoke with them, and says to them, Have^° courage. I am here. Do^° not be afraid. ^6:51 And he went-up to them into the ship, and the wind paused, and they were exceedingly, exceptionally, astonished in themselves and were marveling! ^6:52 For^* they did not understand what happened upon the loaves, for^* their heart was hardening. ^6:53 And they ferried over and came upon the land of Gennesaret and they were anchored there, ^6:54 and after they themselves went forth out-of the ship, the people immediately recognized him.

 

             ^6:55 They ran around that whole region around there and began to carry around the ones having an illness upon their pallets, where they were hearing: He is over there. ^6:56 And wherever he was traveling, if into villages or cities or the rural-areas, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces and were pleading with him in-order-that if-only they might touch the hem of his garment, and as many as would touch him were being cured.
