And He went out from there and
acame into His own country, and His disciples followed Him.
Mark 6
:2
6:2
And when the Sabbath had come, He began to
1teach in the
asynagogue; and many hearing were
bastounded, saying, Where
did this man
get these things? And what is this wisdom given to this man, and
how is it that such works of power take place through His hands?
Mark 6
:3
6:3
Is not this the
1carpenter, the son of Mary, and
abrother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us? And they were
bstumbled in Him.
Mark 6
:4
6:4
And Jesus said to them, A
aprophet is not without honor except in his
own country and among his
own relatives and in his
own house.
Mark 6
:5
6:5
And He could
1not do any work of power there, except to
alay His hands upon a few
of the sick and
2heal them.
Mark 6
:6
6:6
And He
amarveled because of their unbelief; and He went around the
bvillages in a circuit, teaching.
5.
Sending the disciples
6:7-13
Mark 6
:7
6:7
And He
acalled the twelve to
Him and began to send them out two by two and gave them
1bauthority over the unclean spirits;
Mark 6
:8
6:8
And He charged them not to
atake anything for the journey except only a staff:
1no bread, no bag, no money in their belt;
Mark 6

6:9
But to have sandals tied on; and
said, Do not put on two
1tunics.

The martyrdom of the forerunner
6:14-29
Mark 6
:14
6:14
And King Herod
aheard of it, for His name had become known, and they said,
bJohn the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and because of this these works of power
1are operating through him.
Mark 6
:15
6:15
But others said, He is
aElijah; and others said,
He is a
bprophet, like one of the prophets.
Mark 6
:16
6:16
But Herod, hearing
of it, said, He whom I
abeheaded, John, this one was raised!
Mark 6
:17
6:17
For Herod himself had sent
men and seized John and bound him in
aprison on account of
bHerodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
Mark 6
:18
6:18
For John had been saying to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your
abrother.
Mark 6
:19
6:19
Thus, Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to kill him and could not,
Mark 6
:20
6:20
For Herod feared
aJohn, knowing that he was a
brighteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed yet
cheard him gladly.
Mark 6
:21
6:21
And an opportune day came, when Herod on his
abirthday made a
bbanquet for his courtiers and the commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
Mark 6
:22
6:22
And when the daughter of Herodias herself entered and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining
at table with
him. The king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever you want, and I will give
it to you.
Mark 6
:23
6:23
And he swore to her earnestly, Whatever you ask of me, I will give to you, up to
ahalf of my kingdom.
Mark 6
:24
6:24
And she went out and said to her mother, What should I ask for? And she said, The head of John the baptizer.
Mark 6
:25
6:25
And coming in
aimmediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
Mark 6
:26
6:26
And the king was very grieved, yet because of the oaths and those reclining
at table, he did not want to refuse her.
Mark 6
:27
6:27
And aimmediately the king sent a guard and ordered
him to bring his head. And he went out and
1bbeheaded him in the prison,
Mark 6
:28
6:28
And brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
Mark 6
:29
6:29
And when his
adisciples heard
about it, they came and took his corpse and put it in a tomb.
7.
Feeding the five thousand
6:30-44
Mark 6
:30
6:30
And the
aapostles gathered together to Jesus and
breported to Him all that they did and
all that they taught.
Mark 6
:31
6:31
And He said to them, Come by yourselves privately to a
adeserted place and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they did
1not even have opportunity to
beat.
Mark 6
:32
6:32
1And they
awent away in the boat to a deserted place privately.
Mark 6
:33
6:33
And many saw them going away and
arecognized them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities and got
there before them.
Mark 6
:34
6:34
And getting out, He saw a great crowd, and He was
1moved with
acompassion for them because they were like sheep not having a shepherd, and He began to teach them many things.
Mark 6
:35
6:35
And when the hour had already become late, His disciples came to Him and said, This place is deserted, and the hour is already late;
Mark 6
:36
6:36
aSend them away so that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages and buy for themselves something to eat.
Mark 6
:37
6:37
But He answered and said to them, You
agive them
something to eat. And they said to Him, Shall we go away and buy two hundred
1denarii worth of bread and give
it to them to eat?
Mark 6
:38
6:38
And He said to them,
aHow many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they found out, they said, Five, and two fish.
Mark 6
:39
6:39
And He ordered them to have all recline
1by companies on the green grass.
Mark 6
:40
6:40
And they sat down
1in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
Mark 6
:41
6:41
And He took the five loaves and the two fish and,
alooking up to heaven, He
bblessed and broke the loaves and gave
them to the disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among all.
Mark 6
:42
6:42
And they all ate and were satisfied.
Mark 6
:43
6:43
And they took up
1twelve full handbaskets of the broken pieces
of bread and of the fish.
Mark 6
:44
6:44
And those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.
8.
Walking on the sea
6:45-52
Mark 6
:45
6:45
1And aimmediately He
bcompelled His disciples to step into the boat and
cgo before to the other side, toward
dBethsaida, while He sent the crowd away.
Mark 6
:46
6:46
And after He said farewell to them, He went away to the
amountain to
1bpray.
Mark 6
:47
6:47
And when evening fell, the
aboat was in the midst of the sea and He was alone on the land.
Mark 6
:48
6:48
And seeing them distressed as they rowed, for the wind was contrary to them, He came toward them about the fourth watch of the night,
1walking on the sea, and He intended to pass by them.
Mark 6
:49
6:49
But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out,
Mark 6
:50
6:50
For they all saw Him and were
astartled. But
bimmediately He spoke with them and said to them, Take
ccourage.
1It is I. Do not be
dafraid.
Mark 6
:51
6:51
And He went up unto them into the boat, and the wind
aceased. And they were greatly
bastonished in themselves beyond measure,
Mark 6
:52
6:52
For they did not
aunderstand concerning the loaves, but rather their heart was hardened.
9.
Healing everywhere
6:53-56
Mark 6
:53
6:53
And they
acrossed over to the land and came to
bGennesaret and moored
there.
Mark 6
:54
6:54
And when they came out of the boat,
aimmediately the people brecognized Him,
Mark 6
:55
6:55
And they ran about that whole region and began to carry around on
amats those who were ill to any place where they heard that He was.
Mark 6
:56
6:56
And wherever He entered into
avillages or into cities or into the countryside, they laid those who were sick in the
bmarketplaces and begged Him that they might touch if even the
1fringe of His garment; and as many as
ctouched Him were
2healed.
