Markus 6

1And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him.

2And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands?

3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him.

4And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.

5And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.

6And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.

7And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

8And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse,

9But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats.

10And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.

11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.

12And going forth they preached that men should do penance:

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

14And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

15And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

16Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

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

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

19Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.

20For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

21And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

22And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

23And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

24Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.

25And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

26And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

27But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.

28And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

29Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

30And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught.

31And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.

32And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.

33And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.

34And Jesus going out 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.

35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:

36Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.

37And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.

38And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.

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

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

41And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.

42And they all did eat, and had their fill.

43And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes.

44And they that did eat, were five thousand men.

45And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people.

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

47And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.

48And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.

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

50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.

51And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:

52For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.

53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.

54And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:

55And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

56And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

1Et egressus inde, abiit in patriam suam: et sequebantur eum discipuli sui:

2et facto sabbato cœpit in synagoga docere: et multi audientes admirabantur in doctrina ejus, dicentes: Unde huic hæc omnia? et quæ est sapientia, quæ data est illi, et virtutes tales, quæ per manus ejus efficiuntur?

3Nonne hic est faber, filius Mariæ, frater Jacobi, et Joseph, et Judæ, et Simonis? nonne et sorores ejus hic nobiscum sunt? Et scandalizabantur in illo.

4Et dicebat illis Jesus: Quia non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua, et in cognatione sua.

5Et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere, nisi paucos infirmos impositis manibus curavit:

6et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum, et circuibat castella in circuitu docens.

7Et vocavit duodecim: et cœpit eos mittere binos, et dabat illis potestatem spirituum immundorum.

8Et præcepit eis ne quid tollerent in via, nisi virgam tantum: non peram, non panem, neque in zona æs,

9sed calceatos sandaliis, et ne induerentur duabus tunicis.

10Et dicebat eis: Quocumque introieritis in domum, illic manete donec exeatis inde:

11et quicumque non receperint vos, nec audierint vos, exeuntes inde, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis.

12Et exeuntes prædicabant ut pœnitentiam agerent:

13et dæmonia multa ejiciebant, et ungebant oleo multos ægros, et sanabant.

14Et audivit rex Herodes (manifestum enim factum est nomen ejus), et dicebat: Quia Joannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis: et propterea virtutes operantur in illo.

15Alii autem dicebant: Quia Elias est; alii vero dicebant: Quia propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis.

16Quo audito Herodes ait: Quem ego decollavi Joannem, hic a mortuis resurrexit.

17Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam.

18Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi: Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui.

19Herodias autem insidiabatur illi: et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat.

20Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum: et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat.

21Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui cœnam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilææ:

22cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellæ: Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi:

23et juravit illi: Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei.

24Quæ cum exisset, dixit matri suæ: Quid petam? At illa dixit: Caput Joannis Baptistæ.

25Cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem, petivit dicens: Volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.

26Et contristatus est rex: propter jusjurandum, et propter simul discumbentes, noluit eam contristare:

27sed misso spiculatore præcepit afferri caput ejus in disco. Et decollavit eum in carcere,

28et attulit caput ejus in disco: et dedit illud puellæ, et puella dedit matri suæ.

29Quo audito, discipuli ejus venerunt, et tulerunt corpus ejus: et posuerunt illud in monumento.

30Et convenientes Apostoli ad Jesum, renuntiaverunt ei omnia quæ egerant, et docuerant.

31Et ait illis: Venite seorsum in desertum locum, et requiescite pusillum. Erant enim qui veniebant et redibant multi: et nec spatium manducandi habebant.

32Et ascendentes in navim, abierunt in desertum locum seorsum.

33Et viderunt eos abeuntes, et cognoverunt multi: et pedestres de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc, et prævenerunt eos.

34Et exiens vidit turbam multam Jesus: et misertus est super eos, quia erant sicut oves non habentes pastorem, et cœpit docere multa.

35Et cum jam hora multa fieret, accesserunt discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus hic, et jam hora præteriit:

36dimitte illos, ut euntes in proximas villas et vicos, emant sibi cibos, quos manducent.

37Et respondens ait illis: Date illis vos manducare. Et dixerunt ei: Euntes emamus ducentis denariis panes, et dabimus illis manducare.

38Et dicit eis: Quot panes habetis? ite, et videte. Et cum cognovissent, dicunt: Quinque, et duos pisces.

39Et præcepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fœnum.

40Et discubuerunt in partes per centenos et quinquagenos.

41Et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus pisces, intuens in cælum, benedixit, et fregit panes, et dedit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante eos: et duos pisces divisit omnibus.

42Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt.

43Et sustulerunt reliquias, fragmentorum duodecim cophinos plenos, et de piscibus.

44Erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque millia virorum.

45Et statim coëgit discipulos suos ascendere navim, ut præcederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam, dum ipse dimitteret populum.

46Et cum dimisisset eos, abiit in montem orare.

47Et cum sero esset, erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra.

48Et videns eos laborantes in remigando (erat enim ventus contrarius eis) et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans supra mare: et volebat præterire eos.

49At illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem supra mare, putaverunt phantasma esse, et exclamaverunt.

50Omnes enim viderunt eum, et conturbati sunt. Et statim locutus est cum eis, et dixit eis: Confidite, ego sum: nolite timere.

51Et ascendit ad illos in navim, et cessavit ventus. Et plus magis intra se stupebant:

52non enim intellexerunt de panibus: erat enim cor eorum obcæcatum.

53Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesareth, et applicuerunt.

54Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum:

55et percurrentes universam regionem illam, cœperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse.

56Et quocumque introibat, in vicos, vel in villas aut civitates, in plateis ponebant infirmos, et deprecabantur eum, ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent, et quotquot tangebant eum, salvi fiebant.

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

2And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”

3“Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.

4And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”

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

6And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.

7And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.

8And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,

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

10And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.

11And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

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

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

14And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”

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

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

17For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.

18For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

19Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.

20For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.

21And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.

22And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

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

24And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

26And 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.

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

28And 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.

29When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.

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

31And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.

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

33And 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.

34And 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.

35And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.

36Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”

37And 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.”

38And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”

39And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

40And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.

41And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.

42And they all ate and were satisfied.

43And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.

44Now those who ate were five thousand men.

45And 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.

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

47And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.

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

50For 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.”

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

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

53And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.

54And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.

55And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.

56And 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.
