And how can He perform such miracles? <A name="4"></a><a href="/mark/6-3.htm">3</a>Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses,<a href="#fn">a</a> Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him. <A name="5"></a><a href="/mark/6-4.htm">4</a>Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.” <A name="6"></a><a href="/mark/6-5.htm">5</a>So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them. <A name="7"></a><a href="/mark/6-6.htm">6</a>And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people. <A name="8"></a>The Ministry of the Twelve (<a href ="../matthew/10.htm#5">Matthew 10:5–15</a>; <a href ="../luke/9.htm">Luke 9:1–6</a>)<a href="/mark/6-7.htm">7</a>Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits. <A name="9"></a><a href="/mark/6-8.htm">8</a>He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bag, no bread,<a href="#fn">b</a> no money<a href="#fn">c</a> in their belts— <A name="10"></a><a href="/mark/6-9.htm">9</a>and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic. <A name="11"></a><a href="/mark/6-10.htm">10</a>And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area. <A name="12"></a><a href="/mark/6-11.htm">11</a>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. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.<a href="#fn">d</a>” <A name="13"></a><a href="/mark/6-12.htm">12</a>So they set out and preached that the people should repent. <A name="14"></a><a href="/mark/6-13.htm">13</a>They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil. <A name="15"></a>The Beheading of John (<a href ="../matthew/14.htm">Matthew 14:1–12</a>; <a href ="../luke/9.htm#7">Luke 9:7–9</a>)<a href="/mark/6-14.htm">14</a>Now King Herod heard about this (for Jesus’ name had become well known) and he said,<a href="#fn">e</a> “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” <A name="16"></a><a href="/mark/6-15.htm">15</a>Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like<a href="#fn">f</a> one of the prophets of old.” <A name="17"></a><a href="/mark/6-16.htm">16</a>But when Herod heard this, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has risen from the dead!”<a href="#fn">g</a> <A name="18"></a><a href="/mark/6-17.htm">17</a>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. <A name="19"></a><a href="/mark/6-18.htm">18</a>For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!” <A name="20"></a><a href="/mark/6-19.htm">19</a>So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable, <A name="21"></a><a href="/mark/6-20.htm">20</a>because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he did many things,<a href="#fn">h</a> and he listened to him gladly. <A name="22"></a><a href="/mark/6-21.htm">21</a>On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. <A name="23"></a><a href="/mark/6-22.htm">22</a>When the daughter of Herodias<a href="#fn">i</a> 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.” <A name="24"></a><a href="/mark/6-23.htm">23</a>And he swore<a href="#fn">j</a> to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!” <A name="25"></a><a href="/mark/6-24.htm">24</a>Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.” <A name="26"></a><a href="/mark/6-25.htm">25</a>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.” <A name="27"></a><a href="/mark/6-26.htm">26</a>The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her. <A name="28"></a><a href="/mark/6-27.htm">27</a>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. <A name="29"></a><a href="/mark/6-28.htm">28</a>The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother. <A name="30"></a><a href="/mark/6-29.htm">29</a>When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb. <A name="31"></a>The Feeding of the Five Thousand (<a href ="../matthew/14.htm#13">Matthew 14:13–21</a>; <a href ="../luke/9.htm#10">Luke 9:10–17</a>; <a href ="../john/6.htm">John 6:1–15</a>)<a href="/mark/6-30.htm">30</a>Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught. <A name="32"></a><a href="/mark/6-31.htm">31</a>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. <A name="33"></a><a href="/mark/6-32.htm">32</a>So they went away in the boat<a href="#fn">k</a> by themselves to a solitary place. <A name="34"></a><a href="/mark/6-33.htm">33</a>But many people saw them leaving and recognized Him.<a href="#fn">l</a> They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them. <A name="35"></a><a href="/mark/6-34.htm">34</a>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. <A name="36"></a><a href="/mark/6-35.htm">35</a>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. <A name="37"></a><a href="/mark/6-36.htm">36</a>Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves food, for they have nothing to eat.<a href="#fn">m</a>” <A name="38"></a><a href="/mark/6-37.htm">37</a>But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii<a href="#fn">n</a> to give all of them bread to eat?” <A name="39"></a><a href="/mark/6-38.htm">38</a>“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.” <A name="40"></a><a href="/mark/6-39.htm">39</a>Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass. <A name="41"></a><a href="/mark/6-40.htm">40</a>So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. <A name="42"></a><a href="/mark/6-41.htm">41</a>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. <A name="43"></a><a href="/mark/6-42.htm">42</a>They all ate and were satisfied, <A name="44"></a><a href="/mark/6-43.htm">43</a>and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. <A name="45"></a><a href="/mark/6-44.htm">44</a>And there were five thousand<a href="#fn">o</a> men who had eaten the loaves. <A name="46"></a>Jesus Walks on Water (<a href ="../matthew/14.htm#22">Matthew 14:22–33</a>; <a href ="../john/6.htm#16">John 6:16–21</a>)<a href="/mark/6-45.htm">45</a>Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd. <A name="47"></a><a href="/mark/6-46.htm">46</a>After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray. <A name="48"></a><a href="/mark/6-47.htm">47</a>When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land. <A name="49"></a><a href="/mark/6-48.htm">48</a>He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night,<a href="#fn">p</a> Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them, <A name="50"></a><a href="/mark/6-49.htm">49</a>but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost— <A name="51"></a><a href="/mark/6-50.htm">50</a>for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” <A name="52"></a><a href="/mark/6-51.htm">51</a>Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded beyond measure, and were marveling.<a href="#fn">q</a> <A name="53"></a><a href="/mark/6-52.htm">52</a>For they had not understood about the loaves because<a href="#fn">r</a> their hearts had been hardened. <A name="54"></a>Jesus Heals at Gennesaret (<a href ="../matthew/14.htm#34">Matthew 14:34–36</a>)<a href="/mark/6-53.htm">53</a>When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret<a href="#fn">s</a> and moored the boat. <A name="55"></a><a href="/mark/6-54.htm">54</a>As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus <A name="56"></a><a href="/mark/6-55.htm">55</a>and ran through that whole surrounding region,<a href="#fn">t</a> carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was. <a href="/mark/6-56.htm">56</a>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.
