Mark 6
1¶ And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him and such mighty works that are wrought by his hands?
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.
4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not dishonoured except in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house.
5And he could do no mighty work there except that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.
6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went through the villages round about, teaching.
7¶ And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over the unclean spirits
8and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff only: no provision bag, no bread, no money in their purse;
9but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats.
10And he said unto them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide until ye depart from that place.
11And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet in 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.
12And they went out and preached that men should repent.
13And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many that were sick, and they were healed.
14¶ And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore virtues operate in him.
15Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is the prophet or one of the prophets.
16But when Herod heard of it, he said, This is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
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.
18For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him and would have killed him, but she could not;
20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and respected him; and when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.
21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his princes and tribunes and to the principal people of Galilee;
22and when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and those that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it unto thee.
23And he swore unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it unto thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25And she came in with haste unto the king and asked, saying, I will that thou give me immediately in a platter the head of John the Baptist.
26And the king was exceeding sorry, yet for his oath’s sake and for the sakes of those who sat with him, he would not reject her.
27And straightway the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought, and he went and beheaded him in the prison
28and brought his head in a platter and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30¶ And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus and told him everything they had done and what they had taught.
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.
32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
33And many saw them departing and knew him and ran there afoot out of the cities and arrived before them and came together unto him.
34And Jesus, when he came out, saw a great multitude and had mercy 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 unto him and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed;
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.
37He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said unto him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred denarius and give them to eat?
38He said unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39And he commanded them to make 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 them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42And they all ate and were filled.
43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
44And those that ate were five thousand men.
45¶ And straightway he told his disciples to get quickly into the ship and to go to the other side before him unto Bethsaida while he dispatched the people.
46And when he had dispatched them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
47And when night was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48And he saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them; and about the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a ghost and cried out,
50For they all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them and said unto them, Be of good cheer; I AM; be not afraid.
51And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased; and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure and wondered.
52For they had not yet derived understanding in the loaves, for their hearts were blind.
53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret and drew to the shore.
54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him
55and ran through that whole region round about and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56And wherever he entered, into villages or cities or fields, 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 saved.

St Mark 6
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.
