6Mark 6

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

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

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

4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but 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 called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;Select Mark 6:7

8And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:Select Mark 6:8

9But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.Select Mark 6:9

10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.Select Mark 6:10

11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.Select Mark 6:11

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

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

14And 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.Select Mark 6:14

15Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.Select Mark 6:15

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

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

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

19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:Select Mark 6:19

20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and 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, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;Select Mark 6:21

22And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, 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 forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.Select Mark 6:24

25And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.Select Mark 6:25

26And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.Select Mark 6:26

27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,Select Mark 6:27

28And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.Select Mark 6:28

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

30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.Select Mark 6:30

31And he said 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 departed into a desert place by ship privately.Select Mark 6:32

33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.Select Mark 6:33

34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward 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, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:Select Mark 6:35

36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.Select Mark 6:36

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

38He 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 to make all 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 when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.Select Mark 6:41

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

43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.Select Mark 6:43

44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.Select Mark 6:44

45And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.Select Mark 6:45

46And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.Select Mark 6:46

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

48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.Select Mark 6:48

49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:Select Mark 6:49

50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked 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 ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.Select Mark 6:51

52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.Select Mark 6:52

53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.Select Mark 6:53

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

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

56And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, 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
