Mark 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 He left there and returned to his hometown. His disciples came along.

2 On the Sabbath, he gave a lecture in the meeting place. He made a real hit, impressing everyone. "We had no idea he was this good!" they said. "How did he get so wise all of a sudden, get such ability?"

3 But in the next breath they were cutting him down: "He's just a carpenter - Mary's boy. We've known him since he was a kid. We know his brothers, James, Justus, Jude, and Simon, and his sisters. Who does he think he is?" They tripped over what little they knew about him and fell, sprawling. And they never got any further.

4 Jesus told them, "A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child."

5 Jesus wasn't able to do much of anything there - he laid hands on a few sick people and healed them, that's all.

6 He couldn't get over their stubbornness. He left and made a circuit of the other villages, teaching.

7 Jesus called the Twelve to him, and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority and power to deal with the evil opposition.

8 He sent them off with these instructions: "Don't think you need a lot of extra equipment for this. You are the equipment. No special appeals for funds. Keep it simple.

9

10 "And no luxury inns. Get a modest place and be content there until you leave.

11 "If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way."

12 Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;

13 right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.

14 King Herod heard of all this, for by this time the name of Jesus was on everyone's lips. He said, "This has to be John the Baptizer come back from the dead - that's why he's able to work miracles!"

15 Others said, "No, it's Elijah." Others said, "He's a prophet, just like one of the old-time prophets."

16 But Herod wouldn't budge: "It's John, sure enough. I cut off his head, and now he's back, alive."

17 Herod was the one who had ordered the arrest of John, put him in chains, and sent him to prison at the nagging of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

18 For John had provoked Herod by naming his relationship with Herodias "adultery."

19 Herodias, smoldering with hate, wanted to kill him, but didn't dare

20 because Herod was in awe of John. Convinced that he was a holy man, he gave him special treatment. Whenever he listened to him he was miserable with guilt - and yet he couldn't stay away. Something in John kept pulling him back.

21 But a portentous day arrived when Herod threw a birthday party, inviting all the brass and bluebloods in Galilee.

22 Herodias's daughter entered the banquet hall and danced for the guests. She dazzled Herod and the guests.

23 Carried away, he kept on, "I swear, I'll split my kingdom with you if you say so!"

24 She went back to her mother and said, "What should I ask for?" "Ask for the head of John the Baptizer."

25 Excited, she ran back to the king and said, "I want the head of John the Baptizer served up on a platter. And I want it now!"

26 That sobered the king up fast. But unwilling to lose face with his guests, he caved in and let her have her wish.

27 The king sent the executioner off to the prison with orders to bring back John's head. He went, cut off John's head,

28 brought it back on a platter, and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came and got the body and gave it a decent burial.

30 The apostles then rendezvoused with Jesus and reported on all that they had done and taught.

31 Jesus said, "Come off by yourselves; let's take a break and get a little rest." For there was constant coming and going. They didn't even have time to eat.

32 So they got in the boat and went off to a remote place by themselves.

33 Someone saw them going and the word got around. From the surrounding towns people went out on foot, running, and got there ahead of them.

34 When Jesus arrived, he saw this huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke - like sheep with no shepherd they were. He went right to work teaching them.

35 When his disciples thought this had gone on long enough - it was now quite late in the day - they interrupted: "We are a long way out in the country, and it's very late.

36 Pronounce a benediction and send these folks off so they can get some supper."

37 Jesus said, "You do it. Fix supper for them." They replied, "Are you serious? You want us to go spend a fortune on food for their supper?"

38 But he was quite serious. "How many loaves of bread do you have? Take an inventory." That didn't take long. "Five," they said, "plus two fish."

39 Jesus got them all to sit down in groups of fifty or a hundred - they looked like a patchwork quilt of wildflowers spread out on the green grass!

40

41 He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples in turn gave it to the people. He did the same with the fish.

42 They all ate their fill.

43 The disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers.

44 More than five thousand were at the supper.

45 As soon as the meal was finished, Jesus insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead across to Bethsaida while he dismissed the congregation.

46 After sending them off, he climbed a mountain to pray.

47 Late at night, the boat was far out at sea; Jesus was still by himself on land.

48 He could see his men struggling with the oars, the wind having come up against them. At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. He intended to go right by them.

49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and screamed, scared out of their wits.

50 Jesus was quick to comfort them: "Courage! It's me. Don't be afraid."

51 As soon as he climbed into the boat, the wind died down. They were stunned, shaking their heads, wondering what was going on.

52 They didn't understand what he had done at the supper. None of this had yet penetrated their hearts.

53 They beached the boat at Gennesaret and tied up at the landing.

54 As soon as they got out of the boat, word got around fast.

55 People ran this way and that, bringing their sick on stretchers to where they heard he was.

56 Wherever he went, village or town or country crossroads, they brought their sick to the marketplace and begged him to let them touch the edge of his coat - that's all. And whoever touched him became well.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et egressus inde abiit in patriam suam et sequebantur illum discipuli sui

2 et facto sabbato coepit in synagoga docere et multi audientes admirabantur in doctrina eius dicentes unde huic haec omnia et quae est sapientia quae data est illi et virtutes tales quae per manus eius efficiuntur

3 nonne iste est faber filius Mariae frater Iacobi et Ioseph et Iudae et Simonis nonne et sorores eius hic nobiscum sunt et scandalizabantur in illo

4 et dicebat eis Iesus quia non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua et in cognatione sua et in domo sua

5 et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere nisi paucos infirmos inpositis manibus curavit

6 et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum

7 et circumibat castella in circuitu docens et convocavit duodecim et coepit eos mittere binos et dabat illis potestatem spirituum inmundorum

8 et praecepit eis ne quid tollerent in via nisi virgam tantum non peram non panem neque in zona aes

9 sed calciatos sandaliis et ne induerentur duabus tunicis

10 et dicebat eis quocumque introieritis in domum illic manete donec exeatis inde

11 et quicumque non receperint vos nec audierint vos exeuntes inde excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis

12 et exeuntes praedicabant ut paenitentiam agerent

13 et daemonia multa eiciebant et unguebant oleo multos aegrotos et sanabant

14 et audivit Herodes rex manifestum enim factum est nomen eius et dicebat quia Iohannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis et propterea inoperantur virtutes in illo

15 alii autem dicebant quia Helias est alii vero dicebant propheta est quasi unus ex prophetis

16 quo audito Herodes ait quem ego decollavi Iohannem hic a mortuis resurrexit

17 ipse enim Herodes misit ac tenuit Iohannem et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui quia duxerat eam

18 dicebat enim Iohannes Herodi non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui

19 Herodias autem insidiabatur illi et volebat occidere eum nec poterat

20 Herodes enim metuebat Iohannem sciens eum virum iustum et sanctum et custodiebat eum et audito eo multa faciebat et libenter eum audiebat

21 et cum dies oportunus accidisset Herodes natalis sui cenam fecit principibus et tribunis et primis Galilaeae

22 cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis et saltasset et placuisset Herodi simulque recumbentibus rex ait puellae pete a me quod vis et dabo tibi

23 et iuravit illi quia quicquid petieris dabo tibi licet dimidium regni mei

24 quae cum exisset dixit matri suae quid petam et illa dixit caput Iohannis Baptistae

25 cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem petivit dicens volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Iohannis Baptistae

26 et contristatus rex propter iusiurandum et propter simul recumbentes noluit eam contristare

27 sed misso speculatore praecepit adferri caput eius in disco et decollavit eum in carcere

28 et adtulit caput eius in disco et dedit illud puellae et puella dedit matri suae

29 quo audito discipuli eius venerunt et tulerunt corpus eius et posuerunt illud in monumento

30 et convenientes apostoli ad Iesum renuntiaverunt illi omnia quae egerant et docuerant

31 et ait illis venite seorsum in desertum locum et requiescite pusillum erant enim qui veniebant et rediebant multi et nec manducandi spatium habebant

32 et ascendentes in navi abierunt in desertum locum seorsum

33 et viderunt eos abeuntes et cognoverunt multi et pedestre et de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc et praevenerunt eos

34 et exiens vidit multam turbam Iesus et misertus est super eos quia erant sicut oves non habentes pastorem et coepit docere illos multa

35 et cum iam hora multa fieret accesserunt discipuli eius dicentes desertus est locus hic et iam hora praeterivit

36 dimitte illos ut euntes in proximas villas et vicos emant sibi cibos quos manducent

37 et respondens ait illis date illis manducare et dixerunt ei euntes emamus denariis ducentis panes et dabimus eis manducare

38 et dicit eis quot panes habetis ite et videte et cum cognovissent dicunt quinque et duos pisces

39 et praecepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride faenum

40 et discubuerunt in partes per centenos et per quinquagenos

41 et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus intuens in caelum benedixit et fregit panes et dedit discipulis suis ut ponerent ante eos et duos pisces divisit omnibus

42 et manducaverunt omnes et saturati sunt

43 et sustulerunt reliquias fragmentorum duodecim cofinos plenos et de piscibus

44 erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque milia virorum

45 et statim coegit discipulos suos ascendere navem ut praecederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam dum ipse dimitteret populum

46 et cum dimisisset eos abiit in montem orare

47 et cum sero esset erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra

48 et videns eos laborantes in remigando erat enim ventus contrarius eis et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans super mare et volebat praeterire eos

49 at illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem super mare putaverunt fantasma esse et exclamaverunt

50 omnes enim eum viderunt et conturbati sunt et statim locutus est cum eis et dixit illis confidite ego sum nolite timere

51 et ascendit ad illos in navem et cessavit ventus et plus magis intra se stupebant

52 non enim intellexerant de panibus erat enim cor illorum obcaecatum

53 et cum transfretassent pervenerunt in terram Gennesareth et adplicuerunt

54 cumque egressi essent de navi continuo cognoverunt eum

55 et percurrentes universam regionem illam coeperunt in grabattis eos qui se male habebant circumferre ubi audiebant eum esse

56 et quocumque introibat in vicos vel in villas aut civitates in plateis ponebant infirmos et deprecabantur eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti eius tangerent et quotquot tangebant eum salvi fiebant
