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 Philips wife: for he had married her. 18 For John
had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers 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 oaths 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.
