Mark 6

The People of Nazareth Turn against Jesus

(Matthew 13.53-58; Luke 4.16-30)

1Jesus left and returned to his hometown#6.1 hometown: Nazareth. with his disciples. 2The next Sabbath he taught in the synagogue. Many of the people who heard him were amazed and asked, “How can he do all this? Where did he get such wisdom and the power to work these miracles? 3Isn't he the carpenter,#6.3 carpenter: The Greek word may also mean someone who builds or works with stone or brick. the son of Mary? Aren't James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Don't his sisters still live here in our town?” The people were upset because of what he was doing.

4 # Jn 4.43,44. But Jesus said, “Prophets are honored by everyone, except the people of their hometown and their relatives and their own family.” 5Jesus could not work any miracles there, except to heal a few sick people by placing his hands on them. 6He was surprised that the people did not have any faith.

Instructions for the Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10.5-15; Luke 9.1-6)

Jesus taught in all the neighboring villages. 7Then he called together his twelve apostles and sent them out two by two with power over evil spirits. 8#Lk 10.4-11. He told them, “You may take along a walking stick. But don't carry food or a traveling bag or any money. 9It's all right to wear sandals, but don't take along a change of clothes. 10When you are welcomed into a home, stay there until you leave that town. 11#Ac 13.51. If any place won't welcome you or listen to your message, leave and shake the dust from your feet#6.11 shake the dust from your feet: This was a way of showing rejection. as a warning to them.”

12The apostles left and started telling everyone to turn to God. 13#Jas 5.14. They forced out many demons and healed a lot of sick people by putting olive oil#6.13 olive oil: The Jewish people used olive oil as a way of healing people. Sometimes olive oil is a symbol for healing by means of a miracle (see James 5.14). on them.

The Death of John the Baptist

(Matthew 14.1-12; Luke 9.7-9)

14 # Mt 16.14; Mk 8.28; Lk 9.19. Jesus became so well-known that Herod the ruler#6.14 Herod the ruler: Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great. heard about him. Some people thought he was John the Baptist, who had come back to life with the power to work miracles. 15Others thought he was Elijah#6.15 Elijah: Many of the Jewish people expected the prophet Elijah to come and prepare the way for the Messiah. or some other prophet who had lived long ago. 16But when Herod heard about Jesus, he said, “This must be John! I had his head cut off, and now he has come back to life.”

17-18 # Lk 3.19,20. Herod had earlier married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. But John had told him, “It isn't right for you to take your brother's wife!” So, in order to please Herodias, Herod arrested John and put him in prison.

19Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she could not do it 20because Herod was afraid of John and protected him. He knew that John was a good and holy man. Even though Herod was confused by what John said,#6.20 was confused by what John said: Some manuscripts have “did many things because of what John said.” he was glad to listen to him. And he often did.

21Finally, Herodias got her chance when Herod gave a great birthday celebration for himself and invited his officials, his army officers, and the leaders of Galilee. 22The daughter of Herodias#6.22 Herodias: Some manuscripts have “Herod.” came in and danced for Herod and his guests. She pleased them so much that Herod said, “Ask for anything, and it's yours! 23I swear that I will give you as much as half of my kingdom, if you want it.”

24The girl left and asked her mother, “What do you think I should ask for?”

Her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist!”

25The girl hurried back and told Herod, “Here and now on a serving plate I want the head of John the Baptist!”

26Herod was very sorry for what he had said. But he did not want to break the promise he had made in front of his guests. 27At once he ordered a guard to cut off John's head there in prison. 28The guard put the head on a serving plate and took it to the girl. Then she gave it to her mother.

29When John's followers learned that he had been killed, they took his body and put it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

(Matthew 14.13-21; Luke 9.10-17; John 6.1-14)

30After the apostles returned to Jesus,#6.30 the apostles returned to Jesus: From the mission on which he had sent them (see 6.7,12,13). they told him everything they had done and taught. 31But so many people were coming and going that Jesus and the apostles did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said, “Let's go to a place#6.31 a place: This was probably northeast of Lake Galilee (see verse 45). where we can be alone and get some rest.” 32They left in a boat for a place where they could be alone. 33But many people saw them leave and figured out where they were going. So people from every town ran on ahead and got there first.

34 # Nu 27.17; 1 K 22.17; 2 Ch 18.16; Ez 34.5; Mt 9.36. When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw the large crowd that was like sheep without a shepherd. He felt sorry for the people and started teaching them many things.

35That evening the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This place is like a desert, and it's already late. 36Let the crowds leave, so they can go to the farms and villages near here and buy something to eat.”

37Jesus replied, “You give them something to eat.”

But they asked him, “Don't you know it would take almost a year's wages#6.37 almost a year's wages: The Greek text has “200 silver coins.” Each coin was the average day's wage for a worker. to buy all of these people something to eat?”

38Then Jesus said, “How much bread do you have? Go and see!”

They found out and answered, “We have five small loaves of bread#6.38 small loaves of bread: These would have been flat and round or in the shape of a bun. and two fish.” 39Jesus told his disciples to tell the people to sit down on the green grass. 40They sat down in groups of 100 and groups of 50.

41Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and handed it to his disciples to give to the people. He also divided the two fish, so everyone could have some.

42After everyone had eaten all they wanted, 43Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftover bread and fish.

44There were 5,000 men who ate the food.

Jesus Walks on the Water

(Matthew 14.22-33; John 6.15-21)

45At once, Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and start back across to Bethsaida. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away. 46Then he told them goodbye and went up on the side of a mountain to pray.

47Later in the evening he was still there by himself, and the boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake. 48He could see that the disciples were struggling hard, because they were rowing against the wind. Not long before morning, Jesus came toward them. He was walking on the water and was about to pass the boat.

49When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water, they thought he was a ghost, and they started screaming. 50All of them saw him and were terrified. But at this same time he said, “Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid.” 51He then got into the boat with them, and the wind died down. The disciples were completely confused. 52Their minds were closed, and they could not understand the true meaning of the loaves of bread.

Jesus Heals Sick People in Gennesaret

(Matthew 14.34-36)

53Jesus and his disciples crossed the lake and brought the boat to shore near the town of Gennesaret. 54As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus. 55So they ran all over that part of the country to bring their sick people to him on mats. They brought them each time they heard where he was. 56In every village or farm or marketplace where Jesus went, the people brought their sick to him. They begged him to let them just touch his clothes, and everyone who did was healed.

Marcos 6

Hindi Tinanggap si Jesus sa Nazaret

(Mt. 13:53-58; Lu. 4:16-30)

1Umalis doon si Jesus at umuwi siya sa sariling bayan kasama ang kanyang mga alagad. 2Pagdating ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, si Jesus ay nagturo sa sinagoga. Maraming tao ang nakarinig sa kanya at sa kanilang pagkamangha'y nagtanungan sila, “Saan niya natutunan ang lahat ng iyan? Anong karunungan itong ipinagkaloob sa kanya? Paano siya nakakagawa ng mga himala? 3Hindi ba ito ang karpinterong anak ni Maria,#6:3 ang karpinterong anak ni Maria: Sa ibang manuskrito'y ang anak ng karpintero at ni Maria. at kapatid nina Santiago, Jose, Judas, at Simon? Tagarito rin ang kanyang mga kapatid na babae, hindi ba?” Kaya hindi sila naniwala sa kanya.

4Dahil#Jn. 4:44. dito, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang isang propeta'y iginagalang ng lahat, maliban ng kanyang mga kababayan, mga kamag-anak, at ng kanyang pamilya.” 5Hindi siya nakagawa ng himala roon, maliban sa ilang maysakit na pinatungan niya ng kanyang kamay at pinagaling. 6Namangha siya dahil ayaw nilang maniwala sa kanya.

Isinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawa

(Mt. 10:5-15; Lu. 9:1-6)

Nilibot ni Jesus ang mga nayon sa paligid at tinuruan niya ang mga tagaroon. 7Tinawag niya ang Labindalawa at isinugo sila nang dala-dalawa. Sila ay binigyan niya ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu, 8at#Lu. 10:4-11. pinagbilinang, “Sa inyong paglalakbay, huwag kayong magdala ng anuman, maliban sa tungkod. Huwag kayong magdala ng pagkain, ng balutan o ng pera. 9Magsuot kayo ng sandalyas ngunit huwag kayong magdala ng bihisan.”

10Sinabi rin niya sa kanila, “Kapag kayo ay pinatuloy sa isang bahay, manatili kayo roon hanggang sa inyong pag-alis sa bayang iyon. 11Kung#Gw. 13:51. ayaw kayong tanggapin o pakinggan sa isang bayan, umalis kayo roon at ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa, bilang babala sa mga tagaroon.”

12Humayo nga ang Labindalawa at nangaral na ang mga tao ay dapat magsisi at tumalikod sa kanilang mga kasalanan. 13Pinalayas#San. 5:14. nila ang mga demonyo mula sa mga sinasapian ng mga ito; pinahiran nila ng langis ang maraming maysakit at pinagaling ang mga ito.

Ang Pagkamatay ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo

(Mt. 14:1-12; Lu. 9:7-9)

14Nakarating#Mt. 16:14; Mc. 8:28; Lu. 9:19. kay Haring Herodes#6:14 HARING HERODES: Ang haring ito ay si Herodes Antipas na gobernador ng Galilea, at anak ni Herodes na Dakila. ang balita tungkol kay Jesus, sapagkat nakikilala na siya ng maraming tao. May mga nag-aakala na si Juan na Tagapagbautismo ay muling nabuhay kaya si Jesus ay nakakagawa ng mga himala. 15Ngunit mayroon ding nagsasabi na siya si propeta Elias. At may iba pang nagsasabing, “Siya'y isang propeta, katulad ng mga propeta noong unang panahon.”

16Nang ito'y marinig ni Herodes, sinabi niya, “Siya ay si Juan na aking pinapugutan ng ulo. Muli siyang nabuhay.” 17Si#Lu. 3:19-20. Herodes mismo ang nagpahuli at nagpabilanggo kay Juan dahil sa kagustuhan ni Herodias. (Ang babaing ito ay pinakasalan at kinakasama ni Herodes bagama't ito'y asawa ng kapatid niyang si Felipe.) 18Sapagkat laging sinasabi ni Juan kay Herodes, “Labag sa batas na kasamahin mo ang asawa ng inyong kapatid!” 19At dahil dito, si Herodias ay nagkimkim ng galit kay Juan at ibig niya itong ipapatay. Ngunit hindi niya ito magawâ 20sapagkat alam niyang natatakot si Herodes kay Juan. Itinuturing ng hari na si Juan ay taong matuwid at banal, at sinisikap niyang huwag itong mapahamak. Gustung-gusto niyang makinig kay Juan kahit labis siyang nababagabag sa mga sinasabi nito.#6:20 kahit labis…sinasabi nito: Sa ibang manuskrito'y kahit na taliwas ang mga ginagawa niya sa sinasabi nito; at sa iba pang mga manuskrito'y kaya't marami siyang ginagawa ayon sa sinasabi nito.

21Subalit nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon si Herodias na ipapatay si Juan nang sumapit ang kaarawan ni Herodes. Si Herodes ay nagpahanda ng malaking salu-salo at inanyayahan niya ang kanyang mga opisyal, mga pinuno ng hukbo, at ang mga pangunahing mamamayan ng Galilea. 22Nang pumasok ang anak na babae ni Herodias#6:22 anak na babae ni Herodias: Sa ibang manuskrito'y anak niyang si Herodias. at nagsayaw, labis na nasiyahan si Herodes at ang mga panauhin, kaya't sinabi ng hari sa dalaga, “Hingin mo ang anumang nais mo at ibibigay ko sa iyo.” 23Naipangako rin niya sa dalaga na ibibigay niya kahit ang kalahati ng kanyang kaharian kung ito ang hihingin.

24Kaya't lumabas ang dalaga at tinanong ang kanyang ina, “Ano po ang hihingin ko?” “Ang ulo ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo,” sagot ng ina.

25Mabilis na nagbalik ang dalaga sa kinaroroonan ng hari at sinabi niya, “Ang nais ko'y ibigay ninyo sa akin ngayon din ang ulo ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo, na nakalagay sa isang pinggan.”

26Labis na nalungkot ang hari, subalit dahil sa kanyang sumpang narinig ng mga panauhin, hindi niya matanggihan ang dalaga. 27Kaagad niyang iniutos sa isang kawal na dalhin sa kanya ang ulo ni Juan. Sumunod nga ang kawal at pinugutan niya ng ulo si Juan sa loob ng bilangguan. 28Inilagay niya ang ulo sa isang pinggan at ibinigay sa dalaga. Ibinigay naman iyon ng dalaga sa kanyang ina.

29Nang mabalitaan ito ng mga alagad ni Juan, kinuha nila ang kanyang bangkay at inilibing.

Ang Pagpapakain sa Limanlibo

(Mt. 14:13-21; Lu. 9:10-17; Jn. 6:1-14)

30Bumalik kay Jesus ang mga apostol at iniulat nila sa kanya ang lahat ng kanilang ginawa at itinuro. 31Subalit napakaraming taong dumarating at umaalis, at hindi na nila makuhang kumain. Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “Magpunta tayo sa hindi mataong lugar upang makapagpahinga kayo nang kaunti.” 32Umalis nga silang sakay ng isang bangka, at nagpunta sa isang liblib na lugar.

33Ngunit maraming nakakita sa kanilang pag-alis at nakaalam kung saan sila pupunta. Kaya't ang mga tao mula sa lahat ng bayan ay patakbong pumunta sa lugar na iyon at naunahan pa nila sina Jesus. 34Pagbaba#Bil. 27:17; 1 Ha. 22:17; 2 Cro. 18:16; Eze. 34:5; Mt. 9:36. ni Jesus sa bangka, nakita niya ang napakaraming tao. Nahabag siya sa kanila sapagkat para silang mga tupang walang pastol, kaya't sila'y tinuruan niya ng maraming bagay. 35Nang dapit-hapon na, lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad at sinabi, “Liblib ang pook na ito at malapit nang lumubog ang araw. 36Paalisin na po ninyo ang mga tao upang makapunta sila sa mga karatig-nayon at bayan upang makabili ng pagkain.”

37Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain.”

Sumagot ang mga alagad, “Nais po ba ninyong bumili kami ng pagkain sa halagang dalawandaang salaping pilak?”#6:37 SALAPING PILAK: Sa Griego ay dinaryo na katumbas ng isang araw na sahod ng isang manggagawa.

38“Ilan ang dala ninyong tinapay? Tingnan nga ninyo,” utos niya.

Pagkatapos tingnan ay kanilang sinabi, “Lima po, at dalawang isda.”

39Iniutos ni Jesus sa mga alagad na paupuin nang pangkat-pangkat ang mga tao sa damuhan. 40Kaya't naupo ang mga tao nang tig-iisang daan at tiglilimampu bawat grupo. 41Kinuha ni Jesus ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda; tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Hinati-hati niya ang mga tinapay at ibinigay sa kanyang mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao. Hinati-hati rin niya ang dalawang isda at ipinamahagi rin nila. 42Ang lahat ay nakakain at nabusog, 43at nang tipunin ng mga alagad ang lumabis na tinapay at isda, nakapuno pa sila ng labindalawang kaing. 44May limanlibong lalaki ang kumain [ng tinapay].#6:44 ng tinapay: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito.

Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig

(Mt. 14:22-33; Jn. 6:15-21)

45Agad pinasakay ni Jesus sa bangka ang kanyang mga alagad. Sila ay pinauna niya sa Bethsaida, sa kabilang ibayo ng lawa, habang pinapauwi naman niya ang mga tao. 46Matapos magpaalam, umakyat siya sa bundok upang manalangin.

47Pagsapit ng gabi, nasa laot na ang bangka, habang si Jesus ay nag-iisa sa pampang. 48Nakita niyang nahihirapan sa pagsagwan ang kanyang mga alagad dahil pasalungat sila sa ihip ng hangin. Nang madaling-araw na, sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. Nang malalampasan na niya ang mga alagad,#6:48 Nang malalampasan na niya ang mga alagad: o kaya'y Nang sasama na siya sa mga alagad. 49nakita ng mga ito na siya ay lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. Akala nila siya ay isang multo kaya sila ay nagsisigaw. 50Takot na takot silang lahat, ngunit agad na sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matakot. Ako ito! Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob!” 51Sumakay siya sa bangka at pumayapa ang hangin. Sila'y lubhang namangha 52sapagkat hindi pa nila nauunawaan ang tungkol sa pagpapakain ng tinapay; hindi pa ito abot ng kanilang isip.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang mga Maysakit sa Genesaret

(Mt. 14:34-36)

53Tumawid sila sa ibayo at pagdating sa Genesaret ay dumaong sila sa pampang. 54Pagbabang-pagbaba nila, nakilala agad siya ng mga tao. 55Kaya't nagmadaling nagpuntahan ang mga tao sa mga karatig-pook. Saanman nila mabalitaang naroon si Jesus, dinadala nila ang mga maysakit na nakaratay sa higaan. 56At saan man siya pumunta, sa nayon, sa lungsod, o sa kabukiran, agad na inilalapit sa kanya ang mga may karamdaman at ipinapakiusap sa kanya na mahawakan man lamang nila ang laylayan ng kanyang damit. At ang lahat ng makahawak dito ay gumagaling.
