6Mark 6

1And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.Select Mark 6:1

2And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands?Select Mark 6:2

3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.Select Mark 6:3

4And 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.Select Mark 6:4

5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.Select Mark 6:5

6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.Select Mark 6:6

7And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;Select Mark 6:7

8and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse;Select Mark 6:8

9but to go shod with sandals: and, said he, put not on two coats.Select Mark 6:9

10And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.Select Mark 6:10

11And 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.Select Mark 6:11

12And they went out, and preached that men should repent.Select Mark 6:12

13And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.Select Mark 6:13

14And king Herod heardthereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.Select Mark 6:14

15But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets.Select Mark 6:15

16But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.Select Mark 6:16

17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.Select Mark 6:17

18For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.Select Mark 6:18

19And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;Select Mark 6:19

20for 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.Select Mark 6:20

21And 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;Select Mark 6:21

22and 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.Select Mark 6:22

23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.Select Mark 6:23

24And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.Select Mark 6:24

25And 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.Select Mark 6:25

26And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.Select Mark 6:26

27And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,Select Mark 6:27

28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.Select Mark 6:28

29And when his disciples heard thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.Select Mark 6:29

30And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.Select Mark 6:30

31And 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.Select Mark 6:31

32And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.Select Mark 6:32

33And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.Select Mark 6:33

34And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.Select Mark 6:34

35And 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;Select Mark 6:35

36send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.Select Mark 6:36

37But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat?Select Mark 6:37

38And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.Select Mark 6:38

39And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.Select Mark 6:39

40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.Select Mark 6:40

41And 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.Select Mark 6:41

42And they all ate, and were filled.Select Mark 6:42

43And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.Select Mark 6:43

44And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.Select Mark 6:44

45And 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.Select Mark 6:45

46And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.Select Mark 6:46

47And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.Select Mark 6:47

48And 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:Select Mark 6:48

49but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;Select Mark 6:49

50for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.Select Mark 6:50

51And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;Select Mark 6:51

52for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.Select Mark 6:52

53And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.Select Mark 6:53

54And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him,Select Mark 6:54

55and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.Select Mark 6:55

56And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.Select Mark 6:56
