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 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 to 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 Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.Select Mark 6:3

4But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, 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 persons, and healed [them].Select Mark 6:5

6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.Select Mark 6:6

7And he calleth [to 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 bag, 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 to them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.Select Mark 6:10

11And whoever 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 to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah 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 demons, 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 had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.Select Mark 6:14

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

16But when Herod heard [of him], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath 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 the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.Select Mark 6:17

18For John had said to 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 and holy man, 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 had come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [men] 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 to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.Select Mark 6:22

23And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, to the half of my kingdom.Select Mark 6:23

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

25And she came in forthwith with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldst give me, immediately, in a dish, 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 who 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 dish, 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 assembled themselves to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.Select Mark 6:30

31And he said to 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 in a boat privately.Select Mark 6:32

33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came together to him.Select Mark 6:33

34And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion towards 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 to 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 around, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.Select Mark 6:36

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

38He saith to 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 broke the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.Select Mark 6:41

42And they all ate, and were satisfied.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 ate of the loaves, were about five thousand men.Select Mark 6:44

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

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

47And when evening was come, the boat 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 to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to 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

50(For they all saw him, and were troubled.) And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid.Select Mark 6:50

51And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly 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 had come out of the boat forthwith they knew him,Select Mark 6:54

55And ran through that whole region around, 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 healed.Select Mark 6:56
