Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

And he went out thence and came to his own country, and his disciples follow him.

Teaching at Nazareth

Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence [has] this [man] these things? and what [is] the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands?

2

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed 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.

3

“Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

4

But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not despised save in his own country, and among [his] kinsmen, and in his own house.

4

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”

5

And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed [them].

5

And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6

And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

6

And He wondered at their unbelief.
And He was going around the villages teaching.

7

The Ministry of the Twelve

And he calls the twelve to [him]; and he began to send them out two [and] two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits;

7

The Twelve Sent Out

And He summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

8

and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;

8

and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff — no bread, no bag, no money in their belt —

9

but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats.

9

but to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two tunics.”

10

And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence.

10

And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.

11

And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

11

“Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”

And they went forth and preached that they should repent;

14

The Beheading of John

And Herod the king heard [of him] (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among [the] dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

14

John’s Fate Recalled

And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”

15

And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

15

But others were saying, “He is Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16

But Herod when he heard [it] said, John whom *I* beheaded, he it is; *he* is risen [from among the dead].

16

But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”

17

For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

17

For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

18

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

18

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

19

But Herodias kept it [in her mind] against him, and wished to kill him, and could not:

19

Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;

20

for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

20

for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.

21

And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief [men] of Galilee;

21

A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

22

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with [him] at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

22

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”

23

And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.

23

And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom.”

24

And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

24

And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25

And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

25

Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

26

And the king, [while] made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with [him] would not break his word with her.

26

And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

27

And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison,

27

Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

28

and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

28

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

29

And his disciples having heard [it], came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.

29

When his disciples heard about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

30

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, [both] what they had done and what they had taught.

30

The apostles gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught.

31

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

31

And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

32

And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.

32

They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.

33

And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got [there] before them.

33

Five Thousand Fed

The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.

35

And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;

35

When it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and it is already quite late;

36

send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

36

send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37

And he answering said to them, Give *ye* them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

37

But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread and give them something to eat?”

38

And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go [and] see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.

38

And He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”

39

And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.

39

And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.

40

And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.

40

They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

41

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples that they might set [them] before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

41

And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

42

And they all ate and were satisfied.

42

They all ate and were satisfied,

43

And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.

43

and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.

44

And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

44

There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.

45

Jesus Walks on Water

And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before to the other side to Bethsaida, while *he* sends the crowd away.

45

Jesus Walks on the Water

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

46

And, having dismissed them, he departed into the mountain to pray.

46

After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.

47

And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and *he* alone upon the land.

47

When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.

48

And seeing them labouring in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

48

Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.

49

But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out.

49

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

50

For all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good courage: it is *I*; be not afraid.

50

for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”

51

And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered;

51

Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

52

for they understood not through the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

52

for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

54

And on their coming out of the ship, immediately recognising him,

54

When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

55

they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.

55

and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.

And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.

56

Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.
