1 A i haere ia i reira, a ka tae ki tona kainga tupu; me te aru ano ana akonga i a ia.

2 A, ka taka mai te hapati, ka anga ia ka whakaako i roto i te whare karakia; a he tokomaha hoki, i to ratou rongonga, i miharo, i mea, No hea enei mea a tenei tangata? he matauranga aha tenei kua hoatu nei ki a ia, a he aha te tikanga o enei merek ara nunui kua oti nei i ona ringa?

3 Ehara ianei tenei i te kamura, i te tama a Meri, i te tuakana o Hemi, o Hohi, o Hura, o Haimona? Kahore ianei ona tuahine i konei, i a tatou nei? Heoi he ana ratou ki a ia.

4 Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, kei tona kainga anake, kei ona whanaunga, kei tona whare, te poropiti hapa ai i te honore.

5 A kihai ia i ahei te mea i tetahi merekara ki reira, heoi ano ko te whakapa i ona ringa ki etahi tangata turoro torutoru kia ora ai.

6 A miharo ana ia ki to ratou whakaponokore. Na haereerea ana e ia nga kainga a tawhio noa, whakaako ai.

7 Katahi ia ka karanga i te tekau ma rua, ka anga ka tono i a ratou tokorua, tokorua; a hoatu ana ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke.

8 I whakahau ia ki a ratou, kia kaua tetahi mea e mauria ki te ara, he tokotoko anake; kaua he putea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni mo roto i te whitiki:

9 Engari nga hu, e here na; kaua hoki e takiruatia he koti hei kakahu.

10 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ka tapoko ki tetahi whare, hei reira noho ai a haere noa i reira.

11 A, ki te kahore etahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i reira, ruia atu te puehu i raro i o koutou waewae hei whakaatu ki a ratou. E pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E pai atu mo Hotoma me Komorah a a te ra whakawa, i to tenei pa.

12 Na ka haere ratou, ka kauwhau kia ripeneta te tangata.

13 He maha hoki nga rewera i peia, he tokomaha ano nga turoro i kaukauria ki te hinu, i whakaorangia.

14 A ka rongo a Kingi Herora ki enei mea; nui haere hoki tona ingoa: a ka mea ia, Kua ara a Hoani Kaiiriiri i te hunga mate, na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

15 Ko etahi i mea, Ko Iraia tenei. Ko etahi, he poropiti ia, he pera ranei me tetahi o nga poropiti.

16 Heoi, i te rongonga o Herora, ka mea ia, Ko Hoani tenei i poutoa e ahau te matenga: kua ara ia.

17 I tono tangata hoki taua Herora, a hopukia ana a Hoani, herea iho ki te whare herehere, he mea mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana a Piripi: kua marenatia hoki e ia.

18 Na Hoani hoki i mea ki a Herora, E kore e tika kia riro i a koe te wahine a tou tuakana.

19 Na ka mauahara a Heroriaha ki a ia, ka mea kia whakamatea ia; heoi kihai i taea:

20 I hopohopo hoki a Herora ki a Hoani, i mohio hoki ki a ia he tangata tika, he tapu, na ka ata tiaki i a ia. I tona rongonga ki a ia he nui tona pororaru; a i whakaahuareka ano ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

21 A ka tae ki tetahi wa pai, i te takanga ai a Herora i tona ra whanautanga, he hakari ma ana tangata nunui, ma nga rangatira hoia, ma nga tino tangata o Kariri;

22 A ka haere te tamahine a taua Heroriaha ki roto, ka kanikani, ka ahuareka a Herora ratou ko te hunga e noho tahi ana, a ka mea te kingi ki te kotiro ra, Mau e tono ki ahau tau e pai ai, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

23 Na ka oati ia ki a ia, Ko tau e tono ai ki ahau, ahakoa ko tetahi taha o toku rangatiratanga, me hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

24 Na ka haere ia, ka korero ki tona whaea, Me tono ahau kite aha? Ka mea tera, Ki te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

25 Na hohoro tonu tona haere ki te kingi, ka tono, ka mea, Ko taku e pai ai, kia homai e koe ki ahau aianei ko te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri i runga i te rihi.

26 Na nui atu te pouri o te kingi; otira i te whakaaro ki ana oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, kihai i pai kia whakakahoretia tana.

27 Na tonoa tonutia atu e te kingi tetahi o ana hoia kaitiaki me te whakahau atu kia mauria mai tona matenga: a haere ana tera, poutoa iho e ia tona matenga i roto i te whare herehere,

28 A mauria mai ana tona matenga i runga i te rihi, hoatu ana ki te kotiro: a na te kotiro i hoatu ki tona whaea.

29 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, ka haere mai ka tangohia tona tinana, a whakatakotoria ana ki te urupa.

30 Na ka huihui nga apotoro ki a Ihu, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, i whakaako ai.

31 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere mai koutou na na ki te koraha ki te wahi motu ke, kia ta ai te manawa: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai ana, e haere atu ana, no kihai rawa ratou i watea ki te kai.

32 A haere puku ana ratou ki te koraha ki tetahi wahi motu ke ra te kaipuke.

33 A i kite nga mano i to ratou haerenga, he tokomaha i matau ki a ia, na ka oma a waewae ki reira i roto i nga pa katoa, a ko ratou kua tae wawe.

34 A ka puta a Ihu, ka kite i te hui nui, ka aroha ki a ratou, no te mea i rite ratou ki te hipi heparakore: a ka anga ia ka whakaako i a ratou ki nga mea maha.

35 Na, kua heke noa atu te ra, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra:

36 Tonoa atu ratou kia haere ki nga whenua, ki nga kainga i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

37 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou. Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me haere oti matou ki te hoko taro ki nga pene e rua rau, ka hoatu ai hei kai ma ratou?

38 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Tikina tirohia. Ka mohio ratou, na ka mea, E rima, e rua hoki nga ika.

39 Ka mea ia ki a ratou kia meinga ratou katoa kia noho, he nohoanga, he nohoanga, ki runga ki te tarutaru matomato.

40 Na ka noho ratou, he ropu, he ropu, tataki rau, tataki rima tekau.

41 A ka mau ia ki nga taro e rima, ki nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whakawhati i nga taro, a hoatu ana ki ana akonga kia whakatakotoria ma ratou; i tuwhaina ano hoki e ia nga ika e rua ma ratou katoa.

42 A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona.

43 A kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga, i nga ika hoki.

44 A me te mea e rima mano nga tane i kai taro ra.

45 A akiaki tonu iho ia i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, ki Petahaira, i a ia e tono ana i te mano kia haere.

46 Na ka mutu tana poroporoaki, ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te inoi.

47 Na kua ahiahi, i waenga moana te kaipuke, ko ia anake hoki i uta.

48 Na ka kite ia i a ratou e ruwha ana i te hoenga; i he hoki te hau ki a ratou: a i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere atu ia ki a ratou, i haere maori atu i runga i te moana, me te mea hoki ka pahika ke i a ratou.

49 A, no ka kite ratou i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka mahara he wairua, ka aue:

50 I kite hoki ratou katoa i a ia, a ihiihi ana. Otira ka hohoro ia te korero ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia manawanui: ko ahau tenei; kaua e wehi.

51 Na ka eke ia ki te kaipuke ki a ratou; a mariri iho te hau: a nui atu to ratou ohomauri, miharo ana.

52 Kihai hoki i mahara ki nga taro: he pakeke hoki no o ratou ngakau.

53 A, no to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta, ka herea te kaipuke ki uta.

54 No to ratou mahutatanga i te kaipuke, mohio tonu ratou ki a ia,

55 A ka oma puta noa i taua whenua, a tawhio noa, ka anga ka mau mai i nga turoro i runga i nga moenga ki te wahi, i rongo ai ratou kei reira ia.

56 A, i ona haerenga katoatanga ki nga kainga, ki nga pa, ki nga whenua ranei, ka whakatakotoria e ratou nga turoro ki nga kainga hokohoko, ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau atu ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu: a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa ki a ia.

1 And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him. 4 And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save 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 calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 8 and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse; 9 but to go shod with sandals: and, said he, put not on two coats. 10 And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence. 11 And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

14 And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 15 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets. 16 But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen. 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. 18 For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife. 19 And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not; 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly. 21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee; 22 and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and 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 out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer. 25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her. 27 And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29 And when his disciples heard thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught. 31 And he saith 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 went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 33 And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 34 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on 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, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent; 36 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 37 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat? 38 And 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 that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were filled. 43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray. 47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them: 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake 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 boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves; 52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

53 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. 54 And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him, 55 and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56 And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, 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.
