And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
“Wherever you go,” he said, “stay in the same house until you leave town.
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.
But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”

The Beheading of John
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.
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.
Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Others said, “He’s the prophet Elijah.” Still others said, “He’s a prophet like the other great prophets of the past.”
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
When Herod heard about Jesus, he said, “John, the man I beheaded, has come back from the dead.”
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.
For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip’s wife, but Herod had married her.
For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
John had been telling Herod, “It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.”
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But without Herod’s approval she was powerless,
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.
for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him. Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him.
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;
Herodias’s chance finally came on Herod’s birthday. He gave a party for his high government officials, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee.
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.
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
He even vowed, “I will give you whatever you ask, up to half my kingdom!”
And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
She went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?”
Her mother told her, “Ask for the head of John the Baptist!”
Her mother told her, “Ask for the head of John the Baptist!”
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.
So the girl hurried back to the king and told him, “I want the head of John the Baptist, right now, on a tray!”
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.
Then the king deeply regretted what he had said; but because of the vows he had made in front of his guests, he couldn’t refuse her.
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
So he immediately sent an executioner to the prison to cut off John’s head and bring it to him. The soldier beheaded John in the prison,
And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
brought his head on a tray, and gave it to the girl, who took it to her mother.
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
When John’s disciples heard what had happened, they came to get his body and buried it in a tomb.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and taught.
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.
Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.
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.
But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them.
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.
Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
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:
Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late.
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.
Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.”
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?
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
“How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.”
They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.”
They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.”
And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred.
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.
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share.
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.
And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Jesus Walks on Water
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.
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.
Jesus Walks on Water
Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home.
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
After telling everyone good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray.
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land.
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.
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost.
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.
And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were totally amazed,
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.
Jesus Heals at Gennesaret
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. They brought the boat to shore
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
and climbed out. The people recognized Jesus at once,
And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was.
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.
Wherever he went — in villages, cities, or the countryside — they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
