1 And he went out thence, and came into the country of himself; and follow him the disciples of him.
2 And being come sabbath, be began in the synagogue to teach. And many hearing were astonished, saying: Whence to this these things? and what the wisdom that being given to him? and miracles so great through the hands of him are done.
3 Not this is the carpenter, the son of Mary, brother and of James, and Joses, Juda, and Simon? and not are the sisters of him here with us? And they were stumbled in him.
4 Said but to them the Jesus: That not is a prophet without honor, except in the country of himself, and among the relatives, and in the house of himself.
5 And not was able there no one miracle to do, except a few sick having put on the hands, were cured.
6 And he wondered because of the unbelief of them. And he went out round the villages round about, teaching.
7 And he calls the twelve, and he began them to send two two; and he gave to them authority of the spirits of the unclean,
8 and he charged them, that nothing they should take for a way, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, not into the belt copper money;
9 but having been shod sandals; and not you may put on two coats.
10 And he said to them: Whence if you may enter into a house, there remain till you may go away from thence.
11 And whoever not may receive you, nor hear you, going away from thence, shake out the dust that under the feet of you, for a witness to them.
12 And having gone out they published, that they should reform;
13 and demons many they cast out, and anointed with oil many sick ones, and they were cured.
14 And heard the king Herod, (wellknown for was the name of him,) and wellknown for was the name of him,) and he said: That John he dipping out of dead has been raised, and through the work the mighty powers in him.
15 Others said: That Elias he is. Others and said: That a prophet he is, like one of the prophets.
16 Having heard for the Herod, said: That whom I beheaded John, he is raised from dead.
17 Himself for the Herod, sending seized the John, and bound him in prison, through Herodias, the wife of Philip of the brother of himself, for her he had married.
18 Said for the John to the Herod: That not it is lawful to thee to have the wife of the brother of thee.
19 The and Herodias had a grudge against him and wished him to destroy; and not was able.
20 The for Herod feared the John, knowing him a man just and holy; and protected him; and hearing him, many things he did, and gladly him he heard.
21 And having come a day convenient, when Herod to the birthday of himself a feast he made to the nobles of himself, and to the commanders, and to the chiefs of the Galilee;
22 and having entered of the daughter of her of the Herodias, and dancing, and having pleased the Herod and those reclining at table, said the king to the little girl: Ask me, whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee.
23 And he swore to her: That whatever me thou mayst ask, I will give to thee, till half of the kingdom of me.
24 The and going out, said to the mother of herself: What shall I ask? She and said: The head of John the dipper.
25 And coming in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that to me thou wouldst give instantly on a plate the head of John the dipper.
26 And very sorry having become the king, because of the oaths and those reclining at table not he would her reject.
27 And immediately sending the king a guardsman, he ordered to be brought the head of him. He and going forth cut off the head of him in the prison;
28 and brought the head of him on a plate, and gave her to the little girl; and the little girl gave her to the mother of herself.
29 And having heard the disciples of him, came, and took the dead body of him, and placed it in a tomb.
30 And were assembled the apostles to the Jesus, and reported to him all, and what they did, and what they taught.
31 And he said to them: Come you yourselves privately into a desert place, and rest you a little. Were for those coming and those going many; and not even to eat they had leisure.
32 And they went into a desert place to the ship privately.
33 And they saw them going away; and knew many; and on foot from all of the cities they ran together there.
34 And coming out he saw great a crowd, and was moved with pity towards them, for they were as sheep, not having a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 And already time much having gone, coming to him the disciples of him, they say: That a desert is the place, and already time much;
36 dismiss them, that going into the surrounding country and villages, they may buy themselves loaves; any for they might eat not they have.
37 He but answering said to them: Give to them you to eat. And they say to him: Going may we buy denarii two hundred loaves, and give to them to eat?
38 He but says to them: How many loaves have you? go you and see you. And having ascertained, they say: Five and two fishes.
39 And he ordered them to make recline all, company company, on the green grass.
40 And they reclined squares squares, by a hundred, and by fifty.
41 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to the heaven, he gave praise, and broke the loaves, and gave to the disciples of him, that they might set before them; and the two fishes he divided to all.
42 And they ate all, and were filled.
43 And they took up of fragments twelve baskets full, and of the fishes.
44 And were those having eaten the loaves, five thousand men.
45 And immediately he urged the disciples of himself to step into the ship, and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he should dismiss the crowd.
46 And having sent away them, he went into the mountain to pray.
47 And evening having come, was the ship in middle of the sea; and he alone upon the land.
48 And he saw them tormented in the rowing; was for the wind opposite to them. And about fourth watch of the night comes towards them, walking on the sea; and wished to pass them.
49 They but, seeing him walking on the sea, they thought a phantom to be, and they cried out.
50 All for him saw, and were terrified. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them: Take courage; I am, not be afraid.
51 And he went up to them into the boat; and ceased the wind. And greatly out of measure in themselves they were amazed and wondered.
52 Not for they understood about the loaves; was for the heart of them having been stupified.
53 And having passed over they came to the land Gennesaret; and drew to the shore.
54 And coming out of them out of the ship, immediately knowing him,
55 running about whole the adjacent country that, they began on the couches those sickness having to carry out, where they heard, that there he is.
56 And wherever he entered into towns, or cities, or villages, in the markets they placed those being sick, and they besought him, that if even the tuft of the mantle of him they might touch; and whoever touched him, were saved.
1 He left there and went to his own country. His disciples followed him.
2 Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Many were astonished when they heard him. They asked: »Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to this man and how did he perform these mighty works by his hands?
3 »Is this the carpenter, the son of Mary, brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?« He offended them.
4 Jesus said to them: »A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own people and in his own house.«
5 He laid his hands upon a few sick and healed them. Otherwise he did no mighty work there.
6 He wondered at their unbelief. Then he went around to the villages teaching.
7 He summoned the twelve and sent them forth in pairs. They were given authority over the unclean spirits.
8 They were instructed to take nothing for their journey, with the exception of a walking staff.
9 They were to take no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse and no extra sandals or coat.
10 He said: »When someone invites you to enter into a house, stay there until you leave.
11 »When someone will not listen to you leave that house and shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to the householder.«
12 They went out to preach that men should repent.
13 They cast out many demons. They anointed the sick with oil and healed them.
14 John the Baptist had become well known. King Herod heard that John had risen from the dead. Therefore he was doing these powerful works.
15 But others said: »It is Elijah.« And others said: »It is a prophet, like one of the prophets.«
16 Herod said: »It is John whom I beheaded, raised from the dead.«
17 For Herod captured John and locked him in prison for the sake of Herodias his wife. She was his brother Philips wife before he married her.
18 John said to Herod: »It is not lawful for you to have your brothers wife.«
19 Herodias had a grudge against John and was determined to have him killed.
20 But Herod feared John. He knew he was a righteous and holy man so he kept him safe. That is why he listened to John but was perplexed.
21 It was Herods birthday. He invited his lords, the military commanders, and the prominent men of Galilee to supper.
22 When the daughter of Herodias danced for Herod and his guests, she pleased him so much he promised her anything she desired.
23 He pledged to her, »Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.«
24 She asked her mother, »What should I ask?« And the mother said: »The head of John the Baptist.«
25 At once she went to the king and asked: »Will you give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter.«
26 The king was very sorry. Even so he kept his promise to her. He did not turn her down. This also showed his dinner guests he was a man of his word.
27 He immediately commanded his guard to behead John the Baptist and bring his head to him.
28 He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the young lady. In turn she gave it to her mother.
29 When his disciples heard this they took his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30 The apostles gathered together with Jesus. They told him all things they had done and taught.
31 He told them come into a secluded place and rest a while. For there were many people coming and going and they had no leisure time.
32 They went away in the boat to a secluded place.
33 The people from all the cities knew they were going and they ran together on foot to arrive ahead of them.
34 When he arrived and saw the great crowd he had compassion on them. They were as sheep without a shepherd. He taught them many things.
35 Late in the day his disciples approached him. They said: »The day is almost over and we are in a secluded place.
36 »Send them away that they may go to the country and villages nearby and buy themselves something to eat.«
37 He replied: »You give them food to eat.« They asked: »Should we buy two hundred shillings worth of bread to feed them?«
38 He said« »Find out how many loaves you have? When they knew they said« »Five loaves and two fishes.«
39 He commanded them to sit down by groups upon the green grass.
40 They sat down in groups of hundreds, and fifties.
41 Then he looked up to heaven and blessed the food. He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and broke the loaves into pieces and gave them to his disciples. He also divided the two fishes. He gave the food to his disciples to serve to the people.
42 They all ate and were filled.
43 They collected twelve baskets full of broken pieces of bread and fishes.
44 Five thousand men ate.
45 Jesus made his disciples hurry into a boat to cross to Bethsaida ahead of him. Then he sent the crowd away.
46 After he left he went to the mountain to pray.
47 He was on the shore at the beginning of evening and the boat was in the midst of the sea.
48 He saw that they were tired of rowing for the wind was against them. It was the fourth watch of the night. He walked on the sea and was about to pass them.
49 When they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a spirit an illusion and screamed.
50 They all saw him and were troubled. Suddenly he spoke to them: »Be of good cheer. It is I do not fear.«
51 He entered the boat and the wind ceased. They were truly amazed.
52 They had not understood the loaves of bread. Their minds were closed.
53 They completed the crossing to the land of Gennesaret and anchored by the shore.
54 The people saw him as soon as they left the boat.
55 They were wherever he was in the whole region. They carried the sick on their beds to him.
56 When he entered a village or city in the marketplaces or the country the sick tried to touch the border of his garment and be healed.
