Chapter 6
|
1
|
And he went out from thence, and came into his own
country; and his disciples follow him. |
2
|
And when the sabbath day 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 unto him, that even such
mighty works are wrought by his hands? |
3
|
Is 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. |
4
|
But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without
honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin,
and in his own house. |
5
|
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he
laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. |
6
|
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he
went round about the villages, teaching. |
7
|
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send
them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean
spirits; |
8
|
And commanded them that they should take nothing for
their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread,
no money in their purse: |
9
|
But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. |
10
|
And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter
into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. |
11
|
And whosoever 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 unto
you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city. |
12
|
And they went out, and preached that men should repent. |
13
|
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil
many that were sick, and healed them. |
14
|
And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread
abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen
from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him. |
15
|
Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That
it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. |
16
|
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John,
whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. |
17
|
For 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. |
18
|
For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for
thee to have thy brother's wife. |
19
|
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would
have killed him; but she could not: |
20
|
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man
and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him,
he did many things, and heard him gladly. |
21
|
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his
birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and
chief estates of Galilee; |
22
|
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in,
and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with
him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever
thou wilt, and I will give it thee. |
23
|
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of
me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. |
24
|
And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What
shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. |
25
|
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king,
and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by
in a charger the head of John the Baptist. |
26
|
And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's
sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would
not reject her. |
27
|
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded
his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him
in the prison, |
28
|
And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the
damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. |
29
|
And 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 all things, both what they had done,
and what they had taught. |
31
|
And 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. |
32
|
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. |
33
|
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him,
and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent
them, and came together unto him. |
34
|
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was
moved with compassion toward them, because they were
as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach
them many things. |
35
|
And 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: |
36
|
Send 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. |
37
|
He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred
pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? |
38
|
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and
see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. |
39
|
And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies
upon the green grass. |
40
|
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. |
41
|
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes,
he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves,
and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and
the two fishes divided he among them all. |
42
|
And they did all eat, and were filled. |
43
|
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments,
and of the fishes. |
44
|
And they that did eat of the loaves were about five
thousand men. |
45
|
And straightway he constrained his disciples to get
into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto
Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. |
46
|
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a
mountain to pray. |
47
|
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of
the sea, and he alone on the land. |
48
|
And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was
contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the
night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and
would have passed by them. |
49
|
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed
it had been a spirit, and cried out: |
50
|
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately
he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good
cheer: it is I; be not afraid. |
51
|
And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind
ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond
measure, and wondered. |
52
|
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves:
for their heart was hardened. |
53
|
And when they had passed over, they came into the land
of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. |
54
|
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway
they knew him, |
55
|
And ran through that whole region round about, and
began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where
they heard he was. |
56
|
And 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 made whole. |
