* And he went out from there , and came into his fatherland , and his disciples follow him . * And having become Sabbath , he began to teach in the synagogue . And many who heard him were astonished , saying , How are these things in this man ? and , What is the wisdom that was given to him , and such mighty works happen by his han * Is this not the carpenter , the son of Mary , and brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon ? And are not his sisters here with us ? And they were offended by him . * But Jesus said to them , A prophet is not without honor , except in his fatherland , and among his kin , and in his house . * And he could do no mighty work there , none , except having laid his hands upon a few feeble men he healed them . * And he marveled because of their unbelief . And he went around the villages teaching . * And he summons the twelve , and began to send them forth in pairs . And he gave them authority over the unclean spirits . * And he commanded them that they should take up nothing for the way , except only a staff--no scrip , no bread , no copper in the belt -- * but shod with sandals , and , Do not wear two coats . * And he said to them , Wherever ye enter into a house , lodge there until ye depart from there . * And as many as might not receive you nor hear you , as ye depart from there , shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to them . Truly I say to you , it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than * And having departed , they preached that men should repent . * And they cast out many demons , and anointed many feeble men with olive oil , and healed them . * And king Herod heard , for his name had become well known . And he said , John , the man who immerses , was raised from the dead , and because of this the powers work in him . * Others said , He is Elijah , and others said , He is a prophet , like one of the prophets . * But Herod , when he heard , said , This is John whom I beheaded . He was raised from the dead . * For Herod himself having sent forth , he arrested John , and bound him in prison because of Herodias , his brother Philip 's wife , because he married her . * For John said to Herod , It is not permitted for thee to have thy brother 's wife . * And Herodias was resentful toward him , and wanted to kill him . And she could not , * for Herod feared John , knowing him to be a righteous and holy man , and he protected him . And having heard of him--the many things he was doing--he even heard of him gladly . * And having become a convenient day , when Herod on his birthday made a dinner for his chiefs , and the high captains , and the leading men of Galilee , * and the daughter of her (of Herodias ) having come in and danced , and having pleased Herod and those who sat with the king , he said to the maiden , Ask of me whatever thou may want , and I will give to thee . * And he swore to her , Whatever thou may ask of me , I will give to thee , as much as half of my kingdom . * And having gone out , she said to her mother , What shall I ask ? And she said , The head of John the immerser . * And having come in straightaway with haste to the king , she asked , saying , I want that thou may give me , of it on a platter , the head of John the immerser . * And the king , who became exceeding sorry , did not want to refuse her because of the oaths , and of those dining together . * And straightaway having sent an executioner , the king commanded his head to be brought . And having departed , he beheaded him in the prison , * and brought his head on a platter , and gave it to the maiden . And the maiden gave it to her mother . * And when his disciples heard , they came and took up his corpse , and laid it in a sepulcher . * And the apostles gather together to Jesus , and reported all to him , and how many things they did , and how many things they taught . * And he said to them , Come ye yourselves in private into a desolate place , and rest a while . For there were many coming and going , and they had no opportunity even to eat . * And they departed in the boat to a desolate place in private . * And they saw them going . And many recognized him , and ran together on foot there from all the cities . And they went before them , and came together to him . * And Jesus having come out , he saw a great multitude . And he felt compassion toward them , because they were as sheep not having a shepherd . And he began to teach them many things . * And now many an hour having come to pass , his disciples having come to him , they say , The place is desolate , and it is now many an hour . * Send them away , so that after going into the fields and villages around , they may buy loaves for themselves , for they do not have what they may eat . * But having answered , he said to them , Give ye them to eat . And they say to him , After departing , shall we buy loaves of two hundred denarii , and give them to eat ? * And he says to them , How many loaves have ye ? Go and see . And when they knew , they say , Five , and two fishes . * And he commanded them to sit down , all by companies upon the green grass . * And they sat down in groups , by hundreds and by fifties . * And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes , having looked up to heaven , he blessed , and broke the loaves in pieces , and he gave to the disciples so that they might set before them . And he distributed the two fishes to them * And they all ate , and were filled . * And they took up fragments , twelve baskets full , and from the fishes . * And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men . * And straightaway he compelled his disciples to enter into the boat , and to go ahead to the other side , to Bethsaida , while he himself would send the crowd away . * And after sending them away , he departed onto the mountain to pray . * And having become evening , the boat was in the midst of the sea , and he alone on the land . * And he saw them toiling in rowing , for the wind was against them . And about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them , walking on the sea , and wanted to passed by them . * But they , when they saw him walking on the sea , supposed it to be a ghost , and cried out . * For they all saw him , and were troubled . And straightaway he spoke with them , and says to them , Cheer up . It is I , fear not . * And he went up to them into the boat , and the wind ceased . And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves , extraordinarily so . And they wondered , * for they did not understand about the loaves , for their heart was hardened . * And having crossed over , they came to the land of Gennesaret , and moored to the shore . * And when they came out of the boat , straightaway , having recognized him , * after running around that whole region around , they began to carry about on beds those who were faring badly , where they heard he was there . * And wherever he entered , into villages or cities or fields , they laid those who were feeble in the marketplaces , and besought him that if they might but touch the fringe of his garment . And as many as touched him were being healed .
