The King James Version

Chapter 6 (CV)

¹ And He came out thence and is coming into His own country, and His disciples are following Him.
² And at the coming of a sabbath He begins to teach in the synagogue. And the majority, hearing, were astonished, saying, "Whence has this man all these things? And what wisdom is being given this man! And such powerful deeds are occurring by means of his hands!
³ Is not this the artisan, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were snared in Him.
⁴ And Jesus said to them that "A prophet is not dishonored, except in his own country and among his relatives and in his home."
⁵ And He could not do any powerful deed there except, placing hands on a few who are ailing, He cures them.
⁶ And He marvels because of their unbelief. And Jesus went about the villages around, teaching.
⁷ And He is calling to Him the twelve, and He begins to dispatch them two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
⁸ And He charges them that they should be picking up nothing for the road except a staff only; no bread, no beggar's bag, no coppers in the girdle;
⁹ but having soles bound on, and not to put on two tunics.
¹⁰ And He said to them, "Wheresoever you may be entering into a house, there remain till you should be coming out thence.
¹¹ And whatever place should not be receiving you, nor yet they should be hearing you, going out thence, shake off the soil which is underneath your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily, I am saying to you, More tolerable will it be for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judging than for that city."
¹² And, coming out, they herald that they should be repenting.
¹³ And many demons they cast out, and they rubbed many of the ailing with oil, and cured them.
¹⁴ And Herod, the king, hears, for His name became manifest. And he said that "John the baptist has been roused from among the dead, and therefore the powerful deeds are operating in him."
¹⁵ Yet others said that "He is Elijah." Yet others said that "A prophet is he, as one of the prophets."
¹⁶ Yet, hearing of it, Herod said that "John, whom I behead, he was roused from among the dead."
¹⁷ For he, Herod, dispatches and holds John and binds him in jail, because of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother, seeing that he marries her.
¹⁸ For John said to Herod that "It is not allowed you to have the wife of your brother."
¹⁹ Now Herodias hemmed him in, and wanted to kill him, and could not,
²⁰ for Herod feared John, being aware that he is a just and holy man, and he preserved him. And hearing him, he was much perplexed, and heard him with relish.
²¹ And, an opportune day coming when Herod at his birthday celebrations makes a dinner for his magnates and captains and for the foremost men of Galilee,
²² and at her, Herodias' daughter's, entering and dancing, she pleases Herod and those lying back at table with him. Now the king said to the maiden, "Request of me whatsoever you may be wanting, and I will give it to you."
²³ And he swears to her that "Whatsoever you should be requesting me, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom."
²⁴ And, coming out, she said to her mother, "What should I be requesting?" Now she said, "The head of John the baptist."
²⁵ And entering straightway with diligence to the king, she requests, saying, "I want that you forthwith may be giving me on a platter the head of John the baptist."
²⁶ And the king, becoming sorrow-stricken, because of the oaths and those lying back at table with him, does not want to repudiate her.
²⁷ And straightway the king, dispatching, enjoins a lifeguardsman to bring his head. And, coming away, he beheads him in the jail,
²⁸ and carries his head on a platter, and gives it to the maiden, and the maiden gives it to her mother.
²⁹ And hearing of it, his disciples came and take away his corpse, and they place it in a tomb.
³⁰ And gathering are the apostles to Jesus, and they report to Him all, whatever they do, and whatever they teach.
³¹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! You yourselves come privately into a place in the wilderness and rest briefly." For those coming and those going away were many, and they had not yet an opportunity to eat.
³² And they came away in the ship into a place in the wilderness, privately.
³³ And many perceived them going away and recognize them. And, afoot from all the cities, they ran together there, and they came before them and ran together to Him.
³⁴ And, coming out, Jesus perceived a vast throng, and He has compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He begins to teach them much.
³⁵ And already the hour coming to be much advanced, His disciples, coming to Him, said that "This place is a wilderness, and already the hour is much advanced.
³⁶ Dismiss them that, coming away into the fields and villages around, they should buy themselves bread. For they have nothing that they may be eating."
³⁷ Yet He, answering, said to them, "You give them to eat." And they are saying to Him, "Coming away, should we buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?"
³⁸ Now He is saying to them, "How many cakes of bread have you? Go and see." And knowing, they are saying to Him, "Five, and two fishes."
³⁹ And He enjoins them to make them all recline, company by company, on the green grass.
⁴⁰ And they lean back, plot by plot, by hundreds and by fifties.
⁴¹ And taking the five cakes of bread and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, He blesses and breaks up the cakes of bread, and gave to His disciples, that they may be placing them before them. And the two fishes He parts to all.
⁴² And they all ate and are satisfied.
⁴³ And they pick up twelve pannierfuls of fragments, and from the fishes.
⁴⁴ And those eating the cakes of bread were five thousand men.
⁴⁵ And straightway He compels His disciples to step into the ship and precede Him to the other side to Bethsaida, till He is dismissing the throng.
⁴⁶ And, taking leave of them, He came away into the mountain to pray.
⁴⁷ And evening coming on, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.
⁴⁸ And perceiving them tormented in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night He is coming toward them, walking on the sea. And He wanted to pass them by.
⁴⁹ Yet those who are perceiving Him walking on the sea suppose that He is a phantom, and they cry out,
⁵⁰ for they all perceive Him and were disturbed. Yet straightway He speaks with them and is saying to them, "Courage! It is I! Do not fear."
⁵¹ And He stepped up to them, into the ship, and the wind flags. And they are amazed to the very excess, among themselves, and marveled.
⁵² For they do not understand as to the bread, but their heart was calloused.
⁵³ And, ferrying to land, they came to Gennesaret and are moored.
⁵⁴ And, at their coming out of the ship, straightway recognizing Him,
⁵⁵ the men of that place ran about that whole country and begin to be carrying about those having an illness on pallets to where they heard that He is.
⁵⁶ And wheresoever He went into villages or into cities or into fields, in the markets they place the infirm. And they entreated Him that they should be touching Him even if it should be the tassel of His cloak. And whosoever touch it were saved.

Chapter 6 (KJV)

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.
