MODERN LITERAL VERSION

6:1 And he went out from there, and he came into his fatherland, and his disciples follow him.

6:2 And when it became the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing him were astounded, saying, From where did this man receive these things? And what is the wisdom that is given to this man? And how are such miracles happening through his hands?

6:3 Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Jude and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.


6:4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland and among his own relatives and in his own house.

6:5 And he was not able to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands upon a few who were sick and healed them.

6:6 And he marveled because of their unbelief.
{Mk 6:6b-13 & Mt 9:35-10:42 & Lk 9:1-6 Third circuit of Galilee.}
And he went around the villages in a circle, teaching.


6:7 And he calls to him the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

6:8 and he commanded them that* they should take nothing *for the journey, except only a staff; no knapsack, no bread, no brass coins in the belt;

6:9 but only tie on sandals, also do not clothe yourselves with two tunics.

6:10 And he said to them, Wherever you* enter into a house, abide there until you* should go from there.

6:11 And as many as may not accept you*, nor may not hear you*, as you* go out from there, shake-off the dust which is underneath your* feet *for a testimony to them. Assuredly, I say to you*, It will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

6:12 And they, the twelve, went out and preached that* they all should repent.

6:13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
{Mk 6:14-29 & Mt 14:1-12 & Lk 9:7-9.}


6:14 And King Herod heard of this; for* his name had become apparent and he said, John the Immerser* was raised from the dead and because of this, these powers are working in him.


6:15 Others said, It is Elijah.
And others said, It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.


6:16 But Herod, when he heard of it, said, John, whom I beheaded, it is he, he was raised from the dead.


6:17 For* Herod himself had sent forth and took-hold of John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her.

6:18 For* John said to Herod, ‘It is not legal for you to have your brother's wife.'

6:19 And Herodias held it against him. And she was willing to kill him and was not able;

6:20 for* Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man and protected him. And when he heard him, did many things and gladly heard him again.


6:21 And when it became an opportune day, Herod, along with his birthday, made* a supper to his great-men and the commanders and the foremost ones of Galilee;

6:22 and the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and she pleased Herod and those who reclined at the meal with him. And the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you wish and I will give it to you.

6:23 And he swore to her, Whatever you might ask me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.


6:24 And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask for?
And she said, The head of John the Immerser*.


6:25 And she came in promptly to the king and with haste asked, saying, I wish that* you might give me immediately the head of John the Immerser* upon a platter.


6:26 And the king became very sorrowful but because of his oaths and those who reclined at the meal with him, he did not wish to reject her.

6:27 And immediately the king sent forth an executioner and commanded his head to be brought.

6:28 And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and lifted up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
{Mk 6:30-32 & Mt 14:13 & Lk 9:10 & Jn 6:1 East shore of Galilee.}


6:30 And the apostles are gathered together with Jesus, and they reported to him all things, both how-much they had done and how-much they had taught.

6:31 And he said to them, You* yourselves come-here privately into a desolate place and rest yourselves a little. For* there were many coming and going and they had not had even an opportunity to eat.

6:32 And they went away into a desolate place by ship privately.
{Mk 6:33-44 & Mt 14:13-21 & Lk 9:11-17 & Jn 6:2-14.}


6:33 And the crowds saw them going and many recognized him and they ran together there on foot from all the cities and went before them and came together to him.

6:34 And Jesus came forth and saw a large crowd and he had compassion upon them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd and he began to teach them many things.


6:35 And since it was already becoming a late hour, his disciples came to him and say, The place is a desolate and already it is a late hour;

6:36 dismiss them, that* they may go into the rural area and surrounding villages and may buy bread for themselves, for* they might not have anything to eat.


6:37 But answering, he said to them, Give them something to eat.
And they say to him, Should we go away and buy two hundred denarii worth of loaves and might give them that to eat?


6:38 And he says to them, How many loaves do you* have? Go and see.
And when they knew, they said, Five and two fish.

6:39 And he commanded them all to recline by groups; all the groups upon the pale-green grass.

6:40 And they leaned-back in rows of a hundred apiece and rows of fifty apiece.

6:41 And he took the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave-thanks and broke the loaves, and he gave them to his disciples that* they might place the bread before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

6:42 And they all ate and were well fed.

6:43 And they took up twelve baskets of broken pieces, and also pieces of the fish.

6:44 And those who ate the loaves were approximately five thousand men.
{Mk 6:45-56 & Mt 14:22-36 & Jn 6:15-21.}


6:45 And immediately he urged his disciples to step onto the ship and to precede him to the other side to Bethsaida, until he should dismiss the crowd.

6:46 And after he had bid farewell to them, he went away into the mountain to pray.


6:47 And when it became evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea and he was alone upon the land.

6:48 And he saw them tormented by the rowing, for* the wind was adverse to them and he comes to them around the fourth watch of the night, walking upon the sea, and he wished to have passed by them.

6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it to be an apparition and cried out;

6:50 for* they all saw him and were disturbed. But immediately he spoke with them and says to them, Have courage. I am here. Do not be afraid.

6:51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind paused and they were exceedingly, exceptionally, astonished in themselves and marveled!

6:52 For* they did not understand what happened with the loaves, for* their heart was hardened.

6:53 And when they had ferried over to the land of Gennesaret and anchored,

6:54 and coming out of the ship, immediately the people recognized him.


6:55 They ran around that whole region and began to carry around those who were ill upon their pallets, wherever they heard he was.

6:56 And wherever he traveled, if into villages or cities or the rural area, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and pleaded with him that* if-only they might touch the hem of his garment and as many as would touch him were cured.
