King James Version
Jesus
went on
from there
and came to
His hometown,
accompanied
by
His disciples.
And
he
went out
from thence,
and came into
his own
country;
and
his disciples follow
him
.
When the Sabbath came
, He began to teach in the synagogue ,
and many who
heard
Him were astonished .
“Where
did
this man get
these ideas
? ”
they
asked.
“
What is this wisdom
He
has
been
given ?
And
how
can
He
perform
such miracles
?
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
?
Isn’t
this the carpenter, the son of Mary and
the brother of James, Joses, Judas
, and Simon? Aren’t
His sisters here with us as
well
? ”
And they took
offense
at Him.
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.
Then
Jesus said to
them, “Only
in his hometown
, among his relatives
, and in his own household
is
a
prophet
without
honor
. ”
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
.
So
He could not
perform
any
miracles
there, except
to
lay
His hands on
a few of
the
sick and heal
them.
And
he could there do
no
mighty
work
, save
that
he
laid
his hands upon
a few sick folk,
and healed
them.
And He was
amazed
at
their unbelief. And He went around
from
village
to
village
, teaching the
people
.
And he marvelled
because
of
their unbelief. And he went round
about
the
villages
, teaching.
Then
Jesus
called the Twelve to
Him
and began to send them out
two
by two ,
giving
them authority
over unclean spirits .
And
he
called unto
him
the twelve ,
and began to send them forth
by two and
two;
and
gave
them power
over unclean spirits ;
He
instructed
them to
take nothing but
a
staff
for the
journey —
no bread
, no bag
, no money in their belts—
And
commanded
them that
they
should
take nothing for their
journey ,
save
a
staff
only;
no scrip
, no bread
, no money in their purse:
and
to
wear
sandals,
but not a
second
tunic
.
But be
shod
with
sandals;
and
not put
on
two
coats
.
And He told
them, “When
you
enter a
house, stay
there until
you
leave
that area
.
And he said
unto
them, In
what
place
soever
ye
enter into
an
house, there abide
till
ye
depart
from
that place
.
If
anyone
will
not welcome
you or
listen
to
you, shake the dust off
your feet when
you
leave
that
place,
as
a testimony against them. ”
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.
So
they set
out and preached that the
people
should repent.
And
they went
out ,
and preached that men
should repent.
They also
drove
out many demons
and healed
many of
the
sick, anointing
them with
oil
.
And
they cast
out many devils,
and anointed
with
oil
many that
were
sick, and
healed
them.
Now
King Herod heard about
this,
for Jesus’
name had
become
well
known,
and people
were
saying
, “
John the Baptist has
risen from the dead !
That
is
why
miraculous
powers
are
at
work
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 were
saying
, “He
is Elijah,”
and still
others, “He
is a prophet, like
one of the prophets of
old
. ”
Others said
, That
it
is Elias.
And others said
, That
it
is a prophet, or
as
one of the prophets.
But when Herod heard this
, he said, “
John, whom I beheaded ,
has
risen from the dead !”
But when Herod heard thereof
, he said, It
is
John, whom I beheaded :
he
is
risen from the dead .
For Herod himself had ordered
that
John be
arrested
and bound and
imprisoned
, on
account
of
his brother Philip’s
wife Herodias,
whom
Herod
had married.
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 John had been
telling
Herod, “
It is not lawful for you
to have your
brother’s
wife !”
For John had said
unto
Herod, It is not lawful for thee
to have thy
brother's
wife .
So
Herodias held
a grudge
against John
and wanted
to
kill
him .
But she had
been
unable,
Therefore
Herodias had
a quarrel
against him,
and would
have
killed
him ;
but she could
not:
because
Herod feared John and
protected
him
, knowing that he was a righteous
and holy man.
When he heard John’s
words
, he was
greatly
perplexed;
yet
he
listened
to
him gladly.
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.
On
Herod’s
birthday
, her
opportunity
arose.
Herod held
a banquet
for
his nobles
and
military
commanders
and the
leading
men
of Galilee .
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 ;
When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she
pleased Herod and his
guests
, and
the king said to
the girl
, “
Ask me for
whatever
you
wish
, and I will give it to
you
. ”
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 swore
to
her, “Whatever
you
ask of me, I will give you
, up
to
half my kingdom !”
And he sware
unto
her, Whatsoever
thou
shalt
ask of me, I will give it
thee
, unto
the
half of
my kingdom .
Then
she went out
and asked
her mother, “
What should
I request
? ”
And her
mother
answered
, “
The head of John the Baptist. ”
And
she went forth,
and said
unto
her mother, What shall
I ask
? And she
said
, The head of John the Baptist.
At
once
the
girl
hurried
back
to
the king with
her
request:
“
I want
you
to
give me the head of John the Baptist on
a
platter
immediately
. ”
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.
The king was consumed
with
sorrow,
but
because
of
his oaths
and his
guests
, he did
not want
to
refuse
her.
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.
So
without
delay,
the king commanded that
John’s
head be brought in.
He sent
an
executioner,
who
went and beheaded him in the prison .
And
immediately
the king sent
an
executioner,
and
commanded his
head to
be brought :
and
he went and beheaded him in the prison ,
The
man
brought John’s
head on
a platter
and presented
it to the girl,
who
gave it to her mother.
And
brought his
head in
a charger,
and gave
it to the damsel:
and
the
damsel
gave it to her mother.
When John’s
disciples heard about
this
, they came and took his body
and placed
it in a tomb.
And
when his
disciples heard of
it
, they came and took up
his corpse,
and laid
it in a tomb.
Meanwhile,
the apostles gathered around
Jesus and brought
Him news
of
all they had done and taught.
And
the apostles gathered themselves
together
unto
Jesus ,
and told
him all things,
both
what
they had done ,
and what
they
had
taught.
And He said to
them, “
Come with
Me
privately
to
a solitary
place, and let
us
rest for
a while .”
For many
people
were coming and going, and they did
not
even
have
time
to eat.
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.
So
they went
away
in
a
boat
by
themselves
to
a solitary
place.
And
they departed
into
a desert
place by
ship
privately
.
But
many
people saw them leaving
and recognized
them.
They
ran together
on
foot
from
all the
towns
and arrived
before
them.
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
.
When
Jesus
stepped
ashore
and saw
a
large
crowd
, He had
compassion on
them, because they were like
sheep without
a shepherd .
And He began to teach them many things.
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.
By
now
the hour
was already
late.
So
the
disciples came to
Jesus
and said, “
This is a desolate
place, and the hour
is already
late.
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:
Dismiss
the
crowd
so
they can
go to
the surrounding
countryside
and villages and buy themselves something
to eat. ”
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.
But
Jesus
told
them, “You
give them something
to eat. ”
They asked
Him, “Should
we go out
and spend
two hundred denarii
to
give
all
of them
bread 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?
“Go
and
see
how many loaves you
have ,”
He
told
them
. And after
checking
, they said
, “
Five —
and two fish
. ”
He
saith
unto
them,
How many loaves have ye?
go
and
see
. And when
they
knew
, they say
, Five ,
and two fishes
.
Then
Jesus
directed
them to have
the
people
sit in
groups
on
the green grass.
And
he
commanded
them to make
all
sit down
by
companies
upon
the green grass.
So
they sat down in groups
of
hundreds and fifties.
And
they sat down in ranks,
by
hundreds ,
and by
fifties.
Taking
the five loaves and the two fish
and
looking
up to heaven, Jesus
spoke
a
blessing
and broke
the loaves .
Then
He
gave them to His disciples to set before the
people.
And He
divided
the two fish
among them all.
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.
They all ate
and were satisfied,
And
they did
all eat,
and were filled.
and the
disciples
picked
up twelve basketfuls
of
broken
pieces
of bread
and fish
.
And they
took
up twelve baskets
full
of the
fragments,
and of
the
fishes
.
And there
were five thousand men who
had
eaten
the
loaves
.
And they
that
did
eat
of
the
loaves
were about
five thousand men.
Immediately
Jesus
made
His disciples get into the boat
and go on
ahead
of
Him
to Bethsaida, while He dismissed
the crowd
.
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
.
After
bidding
them farewell
, He went
up
on
the
mountain to pray.
And
when
he
had
sent
them away
, he departed
into
a
mountain to pray.
When evening
came
, the boat
was in the middle
of the sea, and Jesus
was
alone on land.
And
when even
was
come
, the ship
was in the midst
of the sea, and he
alone on the
land.
He could
see
that
the
disciples
were
straining
to
row,
because
the wind was against
them .
About the fourth watch of the night ,
Jesus
went
out
to
them, walking on
the sea .
He
intended
to
pass
by them ,
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 on
the sea, they cried out ,
thinking
He
was
a
ghost—
But when they saw him walking upon
the sea, they supposed
it
had
been
a
spirit,
and
cried out :
for they all saw Him and were terrified
. But
Jesus
spoke
up
at
once
: “Take
courage!
It is I .
Do
not
be afraid. ”
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.
Then
He climbed
into the boat
with
them,
and the wind died
down.
And the
disciples
were utterly
astounded
,
And
he went
up
unto
them
into the ship;
and the wind ceased:
and they
were sore
amazed
in
themselves
beyond
measure
, and
wondered.
for they had
not understood
about
the loaves ,
but
their hearts
had
been
hardened.
For they considered
not the miracle
of
the
loaves :
for
their heart
was
hardened.
When they had crossed
over, they landed
at
Gennesaret and moored
the boat
.
And
when they had passed
over, they came
into
the
land
of
Gennesaret ,
and drew
to
the shore
.
As
soon
as
they got
out of the boat
, the
people
recognized
Jesus
And
when
they were
come
out of the ship
, straightway
they
knew
him,
and ran through that whole region, carrying
the
sick
on
mats
to wherever
they heard He was.
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 wherever
He went—
villages and
towns
and
countrysides—
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and begged
Him just
to
let
them
touch the fringe
of His cloak.
And all
who
touched Him were healed
.
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
.
