1 He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. 2 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?" So they were offended at him.

4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house." 5 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He marveled because of their unbelief.

He went around the villages teaching. 7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, 9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them. 14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him." 15 But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets." 16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead." 17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife." 19 Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

21 Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. 22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you." 23 He swore to her, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

24 She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?"

She said, "The head of John the Baptizer."

25 She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. 31 He said to them, "Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him. 34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."

They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see."

When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were filled. 43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. 44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away. 46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

47 When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to 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 immediately spoke with them and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid." 51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled; 52 for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, 55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was. 56 Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

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.
