Mark 6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jesus left that place and came to his hometown. His disciples followed him.

2 On the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard him were surprised. "Where did this man get all this? What's this wisdom he's been given? What about the powerful acts accomplished through him?

3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't he Mary's son and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" They were repulsed by him and fell into sin.

4 Jesus said to them, "Prophets are honored everywhere except in their own hometowns, among their relatives, and in their own households."

5 He was unable to do any miracles there, except that he placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 He was appalled by their disbelief. Then Jesus traveled through the surrounding villages teaching.

7 He called for the Twelve and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority over unclean spirits.

8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick—no bread, no bags, and no money in their belts.

9 He told them to wear sandals but not to put on two shirts.

10 He said, "Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place.

11 If a place doesn't welcome you or listen to you, as you leave, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them."

12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should change their hearts and lives.

13 They cast out many demons, and they anointed many sick people with olive oil and healed them.

14 Herod the king heard about these things, because the name of Jesus had become well-known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and this is why miraculous powers are at work through him."

15 Others were saying, "He is Elijah." Still others were saying, "He is a prophet like one of the ancient prophets."

16 But when Herod heard these rumors, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised to life."

17 He said this because Herod himself had arranged to have John arrested and put in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Herod's brother Philip. Herod had married her,

18 but John told Herod, "It's against the law for you to marry your brother's wife!"

19 So Herodias had it in for John. She wanted to kill him, but she couldn't.

20 This was because Herod respected John. He regarded him as a righteous and holy person, so he protected him. John's words greatly confused Herod, yet he enjoyed listening to him.

21 Finally, the time was right. It was on one of Herod's birthdays, when he had prepared a feast for his high-ranking officials and military officers and Galilee's leading residents.

22 Herod's daughter Herodias came in and danced, thrilling Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you."

23 Then he swore to her, "Whatever you ask I will give to you, even as much as half of my kingdom."

24 She left the banquet hall and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" "John the Baptist's head," Herodias replied.

25 Hurrying back to the ruler, she made her request: "I want you to give me John the Baptist's head on a plate, right this minute."

26 Although the king was upset, because of his solemn pledge and his guests, he didn't want to refuse her.

27 So he ordered a guard to bring John's head. The guard went to the prison, cut off John's head,

28 brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the young woman, and she gave it to her mother.

29 When John's disciples heard what had happened, they came and took his dead body and laid it in a tomb.

30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught.

31 Many people were coming and going, so there was no time to eat. He said to the apostles, "Come by yourselves to a secluded place and rest for a while."

32 They departed in a boat by themselves for a deserted place.

33 Many people saw them leaving and recognized them, so they ran ahead from all the cities and arrived before them.

34 When Jesus arrived and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.

35 Late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an isolated place, and it's already late in the day.

36 Send them away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something to eat for themselves."

37 He replied, "You give them something to eat." But they said to him, "Should we go off and buy bread worth almost eight months' pay and give it to them to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How much bread do you have? Take a look." After checking, they said, "Five loaves of bread and two fish."

39 He directed the disciples to seat all the people in groups as though they were having a banquet on the green grass.

40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

42 Everyone ate until they were full.

43 They filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of bread and fish.

44 About five thousand had eaten.

45 Right then, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and go ahead to the other side of the lake, toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

46 After saying good-bye to them, Jesus went up onto a mountain to pray.

47 Evening came and the boat was in the middle of the lake, but he was alone on the land.

48 He saw his disciples struggling. They were trying to row forward, but the wind was blowing against them. Very early in the morning, he came to them, walking on the lake. He intended to pass by them.

49 When they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost and they screamed.

50 Seeing him was terrifying to all of them. Just then he spoke to them, "Be encouraged! It's me. Don't be afraid."

51 He got into the boat, and the wind settled down. His disciples were so baffled they were beside themselves.

52 That's because they hadn't understood about the loaves. Their hearts had been changed so that they resisted God's ways.

53 When Jesus and his disciples had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret, anchored the boat,

54 and came ashore. People immediately recognized Jesus

55 and ran around that whole region bringing sick people on their mats to wherever they heard he was.

56 Wherever he went—villages, cities, or farming communities—they would place the sick in the marketplaces and beg him to allow them to touch even the hem of his clothing. Everyone who touched him was healed.

English Standard Version ESV

1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done 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 took offense at him.

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

5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.

10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.

11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them. ”

12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.

13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him. ”

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

16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised. ”

17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.

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

19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,

20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.

21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22 For when Herodias’s daughter came in 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. ”

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

24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask? ” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist. ”

25 And she came in immediately with haste 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 was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison

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

29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.

31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while. ”For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.

33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.

36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat. ”

37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat. ”And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat? ”

38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see. ”And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish. ”

39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.

40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all.

42 And they all ate and were satisfied.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,

50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid. ”

51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

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

54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him

55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was.

56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
