Mark 6
6
1 And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2 And 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.
4 And 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."
5 And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
6 And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.
7 And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
10 And he said to them: "Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11 And 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."
12 And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
13 And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed them.
14 And 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."
15 But others were saying, "Because it is Elijah." Still others were saying, "Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
16 When Herod had heard it, he said, "John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead."
17 For 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.
18 For John was saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
20 For 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.
21 And 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.
22 And 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."
23 And he swore to her, "Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom."
24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I request?" But her mother said, "The head of John the Baptist."
25 And 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."
26 And 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.
27 So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
28 And 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.
29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.
30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
31 And 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.
32 And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
33 And 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.
34 And 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.
35 And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
36 Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat."
37 And 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."
38 And 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."
39 And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And 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.
42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
43 And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
44 Now those who ate were five thousand men.
45 And 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.
46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 And 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.
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
50 For 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."
51 And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
52 For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
53 And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.
54 And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
55 And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
56 And 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.

Mark 6
6
Responding to Rejection
1Now Yeshua went out from there, and He comes to His hometown, and His disciples follow Him.
2When Shabbat came, He began to teach in the synagogue. Many listeners were amazed, saying, “Where did this fellow get these things? What’s this wisdom given to Him? Such miracles are done by His hands!
3Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Miriam, and the brother of Jacob and Joseph and Judah and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.
4Then Yeshua began saying to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.”
5He was not able to do any miracle, except that He laid hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6And He was astonished because of their unbelief. And He was going around among the villages teaching.
7Yeshua summoned the Twelve, and He began to send them out two by two. And He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8He directed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick—no bread, no bag, no copper coin in their belt—
9but to wear sandals and not to put on two shirts.
10He was also telling them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.
11And whatever place will not receive you or listen to you, as you leave from there, shake the dust off the bottom of your feet as a witness against them.”
12So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent,
13and they were driving out many demons and anointing with oil many who were sick and healing them.
14King Herod heard, for Yeshua’s name had become known. Some were saying, “John the Immerser has risen from the dead! Because of this, these powers are at work in Him!”
15But others were saying, “It’s Elijah!” Still others were saying, “It’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16But when Herod heard, he said, “John, the one I beheaded, has been raised!”
17For Herod himself sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.
18For John had been telling Herod, “It is not permitted for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19Now Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she wasn’t able.
20For Herod was in awe of John and kept him safe, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When he listened to John he was confused, but he still listened gladly.
21An opportunity came—when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his high officials, military brass, and the leaders of the Galilee.
22When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you!”
23He vowed to her, “Whatever you ask of me I’ll give you, up to half of my kingdom!”
24She left the room and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” Her mother said, “The head of John the Immerser!”
25Immediately she rushed to the king and requested, “I want you to give me, right now, the head of John the Immerser on a platter!”
26The king became very sorrowful; but because of his oaths and those reclining with him, he didn’t want to refuse her.
27Immediately the king sent an executioner and gave orders to bring John’s head. And the executioner went out and beheaded John in the prison,
28brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
29When John’s disciples heard, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
Feeding 5000 Families
30The twelve emissaries gathered together with Yeshua, and they reported to Him all they had done and taught.
31There were many coming and going, and they had no time even to eat. So He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to an isolated place and rest awhile.”
32So they left privately by boat to an isolated place.
33However, the people saw them leaving, and many recognized them. They ran on foot from all the towns to get there ahead of them.
34As Yeshua came ashore, He saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So He taught them many things.
35When it was already late, His disciples came to Him and said, “This place is isolated, and the hour is already late.
36Send these people away so they can go into the nearby countryside and the villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, “Should we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread to give them something to eat?”
38Then He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39Then Yeshua made them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40So they reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41And He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha. He broke the loaves and kept giving them to the disciples to serve to the people; and He divided the two fish among them all.
42They all ate and were satisfied,
43and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and fish.
44Now there were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
Walking on Water
45Right away, Yeshua made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.
46After leaving them, He went up on the hillside to pray.
47And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and He was alone on the land.
48He saw the disciples struggling to row, for the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch in the night, Yeshua comes to them, walking on the sea; and He wanted to pass by them.
49But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought He was a ghost and cried out—
50for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately, He spoke to them. He said, “Take courage! I am. Do not be afraid.”
51Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped. They were utterly dumbfounded,
52for they still hadn’t understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.
Miracles Multiply
53After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and set anchor there.
54As they got out of the boat, immediately people recognized Yeshua.
55They ran about the region and began to carry around on their mats all those who were in bad shape, to wherever they heard He was.
56And wherever He entered villages, towns, or countryside, people were placing the sick in the marketplaces and begging Him to let them touch even the tzitzit of His garment—and all who touched it were being healed.
