1  Then He went out from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.

1  And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.

2  And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many when they heard were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, and such miracles are coming about by His hands?

2  When the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were surprised, and said, Whence did he receive all this? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that wonders like these are wrought by his hands?

3  Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?"And they were offended at Him.

3  Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and behold, are not his sisters here with us? And they denounced him.

4  But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house."

4  And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

5  and He could do no miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick [people] and healed [them].

5  And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.

6  And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

6  And he wondered at their lack of faith. And he travelled in the villages teaching.

7  And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

7  Then he called his twelve, and began to send them two by two; and he gave them power over the unclean spirits, to cast them out.

8  He commanded them that they should take nothing for the journey except a staff, only-no knapsack, no bread, nor a copper [coin] for their money belts-

8  and he charged them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;

9  but [to go] having put on sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

9  but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.

9  But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

10  And He said to them, "Wherever you may enter into a house, stay there until you go out from there.

10  And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

11  And as many as do not receive you nor hear you, as you leave from there, shake off the dust underneath your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or for Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

11  And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

12  And when they went out, they were preaching that [people] should repent.

12  And they went out, and preached that [men] should repent.

12  And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.

13  And they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing with oil many who were sick, and were healing [them].

13  And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

14  And King Herod heard, for His name became well known. And he said, "John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and for this reason the miracles are at work in him."

14  And Herod the king heard about Jesus, for his name was known to him; and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; this is why miracles are worked by him.

14  And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

15  Others said, "He is Elijah."But others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."

15  But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets.

15  But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”

16  But when he heard, Herod said, "It is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!"

16  But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

16  When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”

17  For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

17  For this same Herod had sent out and arrested John, and cast him in prison, because of Herodias, wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married.

18  For John would say to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

19  Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him and was desiring to kill him, but she was not able;

19  But Herodias was bitter towards him, and wanted to kill him; but she could not.

20  for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he was protecting him. And when he heard him, he did many things, but he would hear him gladly.

20  for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

21  And when an opportune day arrived, when Herod for his birthday festivities was putting on a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee,

21  And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

21  Then came a state day, when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his officials, and captains, and the leading men of Galilee.

22  and when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and his dinner guests, the king said to the girl, "Ask me whatever you may want, and I will give it to you."

22  and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

23  He also swore to her, "Whatever you may ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

23  And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

23  And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”

24  And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I ask?"And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

24  She went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask him? She said to her, The head of John the Baptist.

25  Immediately she came in with haste to the king and she requested, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

25  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

25  And immediately she entered cautiously to the king, and said to him, I do wish in this very hour that you may give me on a tray the head of John the Baptist.

26  And the king became exceedingly sorry; yet, because of his oaths and of those who reclined with him, he did not want to refuse her.

26  And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.

26  And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.

27  And immediately the king, having sent an executioner, commanded his head to be brought. And having departed, he beheaded him in the prison,

27  So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.

28  and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

28  And he beheaded him in prison, and he brought his head on a platter. And he gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it her mother.

29  And when his disciples heard, they came and took away his body and placed it in a tomb.

30  Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and they reported to Him all things, both everything they had done and everything they had taught.

30  And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.

30  And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.

31  And He said to them, "Come, you yourselves privately, to a deserted place and rest a little."For there were many coming and going, and they were not even finding opportunity to eat.

31  And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

32  And they went away to a deserted place in the boat privately.

32  And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.

33  But the multitudes saw them going, and many recognized Him, and ran together there on foot from all the cities, and preceded them, and they came together to Him.

33  And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.

34  And when He came out, Jesus saw a large crowd, and He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

34  And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

35  And when it grew late, His disciples came to Him and said, "The place is deserted, and already the hour is late.

35  And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;

35  And when it was getting late, his disciples came up to him and said to him, This is a desert place, and it is getting late;

36  Dismiss them, so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food; for they have nothing to eat."

36  send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.

37  But answering, He said to them, "You give them [something] to eat."And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii [worth of] bread and give them [something ]to eat?"

37  And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”

37  He said to them, You give them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyÆs worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?

38  But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see."And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

38  And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go [and] see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

38  He said to them, Go and see how many loaves of bread you have got here. And when they found out, they said to him, Five loaves of bread and two fish.

39  Then He gave orders for them all to recline in groups on the green grass.

39  And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.

40  And they reclined in parties of hundreds and of fifties.

40  And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

40  So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41  And taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and was giving [them] to His disciples, so that they might set them before them; and the two fish He divided to all.

41  And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

41  Then he took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, and he looked up to heaven, and he blessed and broke the loaves of bread, and gave them to his disciples to place before them; and they divided the two fish among them all.

42  So they all ate and were filled.

42  And they all ate, and were filled.

43  And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and from the fish.

44  Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.

44  And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45  And immediately He compelled His disciples to step into the boat and to go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He could dismiss the crowd.

45  And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.

45  And without delay he urged his disciples to climb into the boat, so that they might precede him across the sea to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.

46  And having taken leave of them, He departed to the mountain to pray.

46  And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.

46  And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.

47  Now when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

47  When evening came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48  Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them walking on the sea, and He intended to pass by them.

48  And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them

48  And he saw them struggling as they were rowing, for the wind was against them; and in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the water, and he wanted to pass by them.

49  And seeing Him walking on the sea, they supposed Him to be a spirit, and they cried out;

49  but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

49  But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.

50  for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He spoke with them, and said to them, "Have courage! [It is] I AM; do not be afraid."

50  For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51  Then He went up with them into the boat and the wind ceased. And they were greatly astounded among themselves beyond measure, and were marveling.

51  And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;

51  And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.

52  For they had not understood concerning the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

52  For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.

53  And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

53  And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

54  And when they came out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,

54  And when they were come out of the boat, straightway [the people] knew him,

55  running about that whole surrounding region, they began to carry about on beds those who were ill to wherever they would hear that He was.

55  And they came running throughout that land; and began to bring those who were seriously sick, carrying them in quilt-beds, where they heard he was.

56  And wherever He would enter into villages, or towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and they would beg Him at least that they might touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were healed.

56  And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.

56  And wherever he entered into villages and cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and begged him even to touch the edge of his robe; and all who touched him were healed.
