Mark

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.
