  Mark chapter 6. Jesus went out from there and
• 0:03
  came into his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
• 0:07
  When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and
• 0:10
  the many listeners were astonished, saying, Where did
• 0:13
  this man get these things? And what is this wisdom given to
• 0:16
  him, and such miracles as these performed by his hands?
• 0:21
  Is not this the Carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of
• 0:24
  James and Josephs, and Judas and Simon?
• 0:27
  Are not his sisters here with us?
• 0:29
  And they took offence at him. Jesus said to them, A prophet is
• 0:33
  not without honor except in his hometown and among his own
• 0:37
  relatives and in his own household.
• 0:39
  And he could do no miracle there, except that he laid his
• 0:42
  hands on a few sick people and healed them, and he wondered at
• 0:45
  their unbelief. And he was going around the
• 0:48
  villages teaching. And he summoned the 12 and began
• 0:52
  to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the
• 0:55
  unclean spirits. And he instructed them that they
• 0:58
  should take nothing for their journey except a mere staff, no
• 1:01
  bread, no bag, no money in their belt but to wear sandals.
• 1:06
  And he added, do not put on 2 tunics.
• 1:09
  And he said to them, wherever you enter a house, stay there
• 1:11
  until you leave town. Any place that does not receive
• 1:14
  you or listen to you as you go out from there, shake the dust
• 1:17
  off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.
• 1:21
  They went out and preached that men should repent, and they were
• 1:24
  casting out many demons, and were anointing with oil many
• 1:27
  sick people and healing them. And King Herod heard of it, for
• 1:31
  his name had become well known. And people were saying John the
• 1:35
  Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous
• 1:38
  powers are at work in him. But others were saying he is
• 1:41
  Elijah, and others were saying he is a prophet, like one of the
• 1:45
  prophets of old. But when Herod heard of it, he
• 1:48
  kept saying, John whom I beheaded has risen.
• 1:52
  For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in
• 1:55
  prison on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip,
• 1:59
  because he had married her. For John had been saying to
• 2:02
  Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.
• 2:06
  Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to
• 2:08
  death, and could not do so. For Herod was afraid of John,
• 2:12
  knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him
• 2:15
  safe. And when he heard him, he was
• 2:17
  very perplexed, but he used to enjoy listening to him.
• 2:21
  A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet
• 2:24
  for his Lords and military commanders and the leading men
• 2:27
  of Galilee. And when the daughter of
• 2:29
  Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and
• 2:32
  his dinner guest. And the king said to the girl,
• 2:35
  Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.
• 2:39
  And he swore to her, Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to
• 2:42
  you, up to half of my Kingdom. And she went out and said to her
• 2:45
  mother, What shall I ask for? And she said, The head of John
• 2:49
  the Baptist, immediately she came in a hurry to the king and
• 2:53
  asked, saying, I want you to give me at once the head of John
• 2:56
  the Baptist on a platter. And although the king was very
• 2:59
  sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guest,
• 3:03
  he was unwilling to refuse her. Immediately the king sent an
• 3:06
  executioner and commanded him to bring back his head.
• 3:10
  And he went and had him beheaded in the prison, and brought his
• 3:14
  head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it
• 3:17
  to her mother. When his disciples heard about
• 3:20
  this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.
• 3:23
  The apostles gathered together with Jesus, and they reported to
• 3:26
  him all that they had done and taught.
• 3:28
  And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a secluded
• 3:30
  place and rest awhile. For there were many people
• 3:34
  coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
• 3:37
  They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.
• 3:41
  The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran
• 3:44
  there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead
• 3:47
  of them. When Jesus went ashore, he saw a
• 3:50
  large crowd, and he felt compassion for them, because
• 3:53
  they were like sheep without a shepherd.
• 3:55
  And he began to teach them many things.
• 3:58
  When it was already quite late, his disciples came to him and
• 4:00
  said, This place is desolate and it is already quite late.
• 4:04
  Send them away so that they may go into the surrounding
• 4:06
  countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.
• 4:10
  But he answered them, You give them something to eat.
• 4:14
  And they said to him, Shall we go and spend 200 denarii on
• 4:17
  bread and give them something to eat?
• 4:20
  And he said to them, How many loaves do you have?
• 4:22
  Go look. And when they found out, they
• 4:25
  said five and two fish. And he commanded them all to sit
• 4:28
  down by groups on the green grass.
• 4:31
  They sat down in groups of hundreds and of 50s.
• 4:34
  And he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up
• 4:37
  toward heaven, he blessed the food and broke the loaves.
• 4:40
  And He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them,
• 4:43
  and He divided up the 2 fish among them all.
• 4:46
  They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up 12 full
• 4:50
  baskets of the broken pieces and also of the fish.
• 4:53
  There were 5000 men who ate the loaves.
• 4:57
  Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and
• 4:59
  go ahead of Him to the other side of Bethsaida, while He
• 5:02
  Himself was sending the crowd away.
• 5:04
  After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
• 5:07
  When it was evening the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He
• 5:10
  was alone on the land, seeing them straining at the oars, for
• 5:14
  the wind was against them. At about the fourth watch of the
• 5:17
  night he came to them walking on the sea, and he intended to pass
• 5:21
  by them. But when they saw him walking on
• 5:23
  the sea they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out, for
• 5:27
  they all saw him and were terrified.
• 5:29
  But immediately he spoke with him and said to them, Take
• 5:32
  courage it is I do not be afraid.
• 5:36
  Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped, and
• 5:39
  they were utterly astonished, for they had not gained any
• 5:43
  insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was
• 5:46
  hardened when they had crossed over.
• 5:48
  They came to land at Geneseret and moored to the shore.
• 5:52
  When they got out of the boat, immediately the people
• 5:54
  recognized him and ran about the whole country, and began to
• 5:57
  carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick to
• 6:00
  the place they heard he was. Wherever he entered, villages or
• 6:03
  cities or countryside, they were laying the sick in the
• 6:06
  marketplaces and imploring him that they might just touch the
• 6:09
  fringe of his cloak, and as many as touched it were being cured.
