1. Jesus left and went back to his hometown. His followers went with him.
|
1. And G2532 he went out G1831 from thence G1564 , and G2532 came G2064 into G1519 his own G848 country G3968 ; and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 follow G190 him G846 .
|
|
2. On the Sabbath day Jesus taught in the synagogue, and many people heard him. They were amazed and said, "Where did this man get this teaching? How did he get such wisdom? Who gave it to him? And where did he get the power to do miracles?
|
2. And G2532 when the sabbath day G4521 was come G1096 , he began G756 to teach G1321 in G1722 the G3588 synagogue G4864 : and G2532 many G4183 hearing G191 him were astonished G1605 , saying G3004 , From whence G4159 hath this G5129 man these things G5023 ? and G2532 what G5101 wisdom G4678 is this which is given G1325 unto him G846 , that G3754 even G2532 such G5108 mighty works G1411 are wrought G1096 by G1223 his G846 hands G5495 ?
|
|
3. Isn't he just the carpenter we know�Mary's son, the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And don't his sisters still live here in town?" So they had a problem accepting him.
|
3. Is G2076 not G3756 this G3778 the G3588 carpenter G5045 , the G3588 son G5207 of Mary G3137 , the G1161 brother G80 of James G2385 , and G2532 Joses G2500 , and G2532 of Juda G2455 , and G2532 Simon G4613 ? and G2532 are G1526 not G3756 his G846 sisters G79 here G5602 with G4314 us G2248 ? And G2532 they were offended G4624 at G1722 him G846 .
|
|
4. Then Jesus said to them, "People everywhere give honor to a prophet, except in his own town, with his own people, or in his home."
|
4. But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G3004 unto them G846 , A prophet G4396 is G2076 not G3756 without honor G820 , but G1508 in G1722 his own G848 country G3968 , and G2532 among G1722 his own kin G4773 , and G2532 in G1722 his own G848 house G3614 .
|
|
5. Jesus was not able to do any miracles there except the healing of some sick people by laying his hands on them.
|
5. And G2532 he could G1410 there G1563 do G4160 no G3756 mighty work G1411 , save that G1508 he laid his hands upon G2007 G5495 a few G3641 sick folk G732 , and healed G2323 them.
|
|
6. He was surprised that the people there had no faith. Then he went to other villages in that area and taught.
|
6. And G2532 he marveled G2296 because G1223 of their G846 unbelief G570 . And G2532 he went G4013 round about G2945 the G3588 villages G2968 , teaching G1321 .
|
|
7. Jesus called his twelve apostles together. He sent them out in groups of two and gave them power over evil spirits.
|
7. And G2532 he called G4341 unto him the G3588 twelve G1427 , and G2532 began G756 to send them forth G649 G846 by two and two G1417 G1417 ; and G2532 gave G1325 them G846 power G1849 over unclean G169 spirits G4151 ;
|
|
8. This is what he told them: "Take nothing for your trip except a stick for walking. Take no bread, no bag, and no money.
|
8. And G2532 commanded G3853 them G846 that G2443 they should take G142 nothing G3367 for G1519 their journey G3598 , save G1508 a staff G4464 only G3440 ; no G3361 scrip G4082 , no G3361 bread G740 , no G3361 money G5475 in G1519 their purse G2223 ;
|
|
9. You can wear sandals, but don't take extra clothes.
|
9. But G235 be shod G5265 with sandals G4547 ; and G2532 not G3361 put on G1746 two G1417 coats G5509 .
|
|
10. When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.
|
10. And G2532 he said G3004 unto them G846 , In what place soever G3699 G1437 ye enter G1525 into G1519 a house G3614 , there G1563 abide G3306 till G2193 G302 ye depart G1831 from that place G1564 .
|
|
11. If any town refuses to accept you or refuses to listen to you, then leave that town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them."
|
11. And G2532 whosoever G3745 G302 shall not G3361 receive G1209 you G5209 , nor G3366 hear G191 you G5216 , when ye depart G1607 thence G1564 , shake off G1621 the G3588 dust G5522 under G5270 your G5216 feet G4228 for G1519 a testimony G3142 against them G846 . Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , It shall be G2071 more tolerable G414 for Sodom G4670 and G2228 Gomorrah G1116 in G1722 the day G2250 of judgment G2920 , than G2228 for that G1565 city G4172 .
|
|
12. The apostles left and went to other places. They talked to the people and told them to change their hearts and lives.
|
12. And G2532 they went out G1831 , and preached G2784 that G2443 men should repent G3340 .
|
|
13. They forced many demons out of people and put olive oil on many who were sick and healed them.
|
13. And G2532 they cast out G1544 many G4183 devils G1140 , and G2532 anointed G218 with oil G1637 many G4183 that were sick G732 , and G2532 healed G2323 them.
|
|
14. King Herod heard about Jesus, because Jesus was now famous. Some people said, "He is John the Baptizer. He must have risen from death, and that is why he can do these miracles. "
|
14. And G2532 king G935 Herod G2264 heard G191 of him ; ( for G1063 his G846 name G3686 was spread abroad G1096 G5318 :) and G2532 he said G3004 , That G3754 John G2491 the G3588 Baptist G907 was risen G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 , and G2532 therefore G1223 G5124 mighty works G1411 do show forth G1754 themselves in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
15. Other people said, "He is Elijah. " And others said, "He is a prophet. He is like the prophets who lived long ago."
|
15. Others G243 said G3004 , That G3754 it is G2076 Elijah G2243 . And G1161 others G243 said G3004 , That G3754 it is G2076 a prophet G4396 , or G2228 as G5613 one G1520 of the G3588 prophets G4396 .
|
|
16. Herod heard these things about Jesus. He said, "I killed John by cutting off his head. Now he has been raised from death!"
|
16. But G1161 when Herod G2264 heard G191 thereof, he said G2036 , It G3778 is G2076 John G2491 , whom G3739 I G1473 beheaded G607 : he G846 is risen G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 .
|
|
17. Herod himself had ordered his soldiers to arrest John and put him in prison. Herod did this to please his wife Herodias. She had been married to Herod's brother Philip, but then Herod married her.
|
17. For G1063 Herod G2264 himself G846 had sent forth G649 and G2532 laid hold upon G2902 John G2491 , and G2532 bound G1210 him G846 in G1722 prison G5438 for Herodias' sake G1223 G2266 , his G848 brother G80 Philip G5376 's wife G1135 : for G3754 he had married G1060 her G846 .
|
|
18. John told Herod, "It is not right for you to be married to your brother's wife."
|
18. For G1063 John G2491 had said G3004 unto Herod G2264 , It is not lawful G1832 G3756 for thee G4671 to have G2192 thy G4675 brother G80 's wife G1135 .
|
|
19. So Herodias hated John. She wanted him dead, but she was not able to persuade Herod to kill him.
|
19. Therefore G1161 Herodias G2266 had a quarrel against G1758 him G846 , and G2532 would G2309 have killed G615 him G846 ; but G2532 she could G1410 not G3756 :
|
|
20. Herod was afraid to kill John, because he knew that he was a good and holy man. So he protected him. He liked listening to John, although what John said left him with so many questions.
|
20. For G1063 Herod G2264 feared G5399 John G2491 , knowing G1492 that he G846 was a just G1342 man G435 and G2532 a holy G40 , and G2532 observed G4933 him G846 ; and G2532 when he heard G191 him G846 , he did G4160 many things G4183 , and G2532 heard G191 him G846 gladly G2234 .
|
|
21. Then the right time came for Herodias to cause John's death. It happened on Herod's birthday. Herod gave a dinner party for the most important government leaders, the commanders of his army, and the most important people in Galilee.
|
21. And G2532 when a convenient G2121 day G2250 was come G2064 , that G3753 Herod G2264 on his G848 birthday G1077 made G4160 a supper G1173 to his G848 lords G3175 G2532 , high captains G5506 , and G2532 chief G4413 estates of Galilee G1056 ;
|
|
22. The daughter of Herodias came to the party and danced. When she danced, Herod and the people eating with him were very pleased. So King Herod said to the girl, "I will give you anything you want."
|
22. And G2532 the G3588 daughter G2364 of the said G846 Herodias G2266 came in G1525 , and G2532 danced G3738 , and G2532 pleased G700 Herod G2264 and G2532 them that sat with G4873 him, the G3588 king G935 said G2036 unto the G3588 damsel G2877 , Ask G154 of me G3165 whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou wilt G2309 , and G2532 I will give G1325 it thee G4671 .
|
|
23. He promised her, "Anything you ask for I will give to you�even half of my kingdom."
|
23. And G2532 he swore G3660 unto her G846 , Whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou shalt ask G154 of me G3165 , I will give G1325 it thee G4671 , unto G2193 the half G2255 of my G3450 kingdom G932 .
|
|
24. The girl went to her mother and asked, "What should I ask King Herod to give me?" Her mother answered, "Ask for the head of John the Baptizer. "
|
24. And G1161 she G3588 went forth G1831 , and said G2036 unto her G848 mother G3384 , What G5101 shall I ask G154 ? And G1161 she G3588 said G2036 , The G3588 head G2776 of John G2491 the G3588 Baptist G910 .
|
|
25. So right then the girl went back in to the king. She said to him, "Please give me the head of John the Baptizer. Bring it to me now on a plate."
|
25. And G2532 she came in G1525 straightway G2112 with G3326 haste G4710 unto G4314 the G3588 king G935 , and asked G154 , saying G3004 , I will G2309 that G2443 thou give G1325 me G3427 by and by G1824 in G1909 a charger G4094 the G3588 head G2776 of John G2491 the G3588 Baptist G910 .
|
|
26. King Herod was very sad, but he didn't want to break the promise he had made to her in front of his guests.
|
26. And G2532 the G3588 king G935 was G1096 exceeding sorry G4036 ; yet for his oath's sake G1223 G3727 , and G2532 for their sakes which sat with G4873 him , he would G2309 not G3756 reject G114 her G846 .
|
|
27. So he sent a soldier to cut off John's head and bring it to him. The soldier went and cut off John's head in the prison.
|
27. And G2532 immediately G2112 the G3588 king G935 sent G649 an executioner G4688 , and commanded G2004 his G846 head G2776 to be brought G5342 : and G1161 he G3588 went G565 and beheaded G607 him G846 in G1722 the G3588 prison G5438 ,
|
|
28. He brought the head back on a plate and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
|
28. And G2532 brought G5342 his G846 head G2776 in G1909 a charger G4094 , and G2532 gave G1325 it G846 to the G3588 damsel G2877 : and G2532 the G3588 damsel G2877 gave G1325 it G846 to her G848 mother G3384 .
|
|
29. John's followers heard about what happened, so they came and got John's body and put it in a tomb.
|
29. And G2532 when his G846 disciples G3101 heard G191 of it, they came G2064 and G2532 took up G142 his G846 corpse G4430 , and G2532 laid G5087 it G846 in G1722 a tomb G3419 .
|
|
30. The apostles Jesus sent out came back to him. They gathered around him and told him about all they had done and taught.
|
30. And G2532 the G3588 apostles G652 gathered themselves together G4863 unto G4314 Jesus G2424 , and G2532 told G518 him G846 all things G3956 , both G2532 what G3745 they had done G4160 , and G2532 what G3745 they had taught G1321 .
|
|
31. Jesus and his followers were in a very busy place. There were so many people that he and his followers did not even have time to eat. He said to them, "Come with me. We will go to a quiet place to be alone. There we will get some rest."
|
31. And G2532 he said G2036 unto them G846 , Come G1205 ye G5210 yourselves G846 apart G2596 G2398 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 , and G2532 rest G373 a while G3641 : for G1063 there were G2258 many G4183 coming G2064 and G2532 going G5217 , and G2532 they had no leisure so much as G2119 G3761 to eat G5315 .
|
|
32. So Jesus and his followers went away alone. They went in a boat to a place where no one lived.
|
32. And G2532 they departed G565 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 by ship G4143 privately G2596 G2398 .
|
|
33. But many people saw them leave and knew who they were. So people from every town ran to the place where they were going and got there before Jesus.
|
33. And G2532 the G3588 people G3793 saw G1492 them G846 departing G5217 , and G2532 many G4183 knew G1921 him G846 , and G2532 ran G4936 afoot G3979 thither G1563 out of G575 all G3956 cities G4172 , and G2532 outwent G4281 them G846 , and G2532 came together G4905 unto G4314 him G846 .
|
|
34. As Jesus stepped out of the boat, he saw a large crowd waiting. He felt sorry for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd to care for them. So he taught the people many things.
|
34. And G2532 Jesus G2424 , when he came out G1831 , saw G1492 much G4183 people G3793 , and G2532 was moved with compassion G4697 toward G1909 them G846 , because G3754 they were G2258 as G5613 sheep G4263 not G3361 having G2192 a shepherd G4166 : and G2532 he began G756 to teach G1321 them G846 many things G4183 .
|
|
35. It was now very late in the day. Jesus' followers came to him and said, "No one lives around here, and it is already very late.
|
35. And G2532 when the day was now far spent G2235 G1096 G4183 G5610 , his G846 disciples G3101 came G4334 unto him G846 , and said G3004 , This is G2076 a desert G2048 place G5117 , and G2532 now G2235 the time is far passed G4183 G5610 :
|
|
36. So send the people away. They need to go to the farms and towns around here to buy some food to eat."
|
36. Send them away G630 G846 , that G2443 they may go G565 into G1519 the G3588 country G68 round about G2945 , and G2532 into the villages G2968 , and buy G59 themselves G1438 bread G740 : for G1063 they have G2192 nothing G3756 G5101 to eat G5315 .
|
|
37. But Jesus answered, "You give them some food to eat." They said to Jesus, "We can't buy enough bread to feed all these people. We would all have to work a month to earn enough to buy that much bread!"
|
37. G1161 He G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them G846 , Give G1325 ye G5210 them G846 to eat. And G5315 they G2532 say G3004 unto him G846 , Shall we go G565 and buy G59 two hundred G1250 pennyworth G1220 of bread G740 , and G2532 give G1325 them G846 to eat G5315 ?
|
|
38. Jesus asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you have now? Go and see." They counted their loaves of bread. They came to Jesus and said, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish."
|
38. G1161 He G3588 saith G3004 unto them G846 , How many G4214 loaves G740 have G2192 ye? go G5217 and G2532 see G1492 . And G2532 when they knew G1097 , they say G3004 , Five G4002 , and G2532 two G1417 fishes G2486 .
|
|
39. Then Jesus said to them, "Tell everyone to sit in groups on the green grass."
|
39. And G2532 he commanded G2004 them G846 to make all sit down G347 G3956 by companies G4849 G4849 upon G1909 the G3588 green G5515 grass G5528 .
|
|
40. So all the people sat in groups. There were about 50 or 100 people in each group.
|
40. And G2532 they sat down G377 in ranks G4237 G4237 , by hundreds G303 G1540 , and G2532 by fifties G303 G4004 .
|
|
41. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish. He looked up to the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to his followers to distribute to the people. Then he divided the two fish among everyone there.
|
41. And G2532 when he had taken G2983 the G3588 five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 the G3588 two G1417 fishes G2486 , he looked up G308 to G1519 heaven G3772 , and blessed G2127 , and G2532 broke G2622 the G3588 loaves G740 , and G2532 gave G1325 them to his G848 disciples G3101 to G2443 set before G3908 them G846 ; and G2532 the G3588 two G1417 fishes G2486 divided G3307 he among them all G3956 .
|
|
42. They all ate until they were full.
|
42. And G2532 they did all G3956 eat G5315 , and G2532 were filled G5526 .
|
|
43. After they finished eating, the followers filled twelve baskets with the pieces of bread and fish that were left.
|
43. And G2532 they took up G142 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 full G4134 of the fragments G2801 , and G2532 of G575 the G3588 fishes G2486 .
|
|
44. There were about 5000 men there who ate.
|
44. And G2532 they that did eat G5315 of the G3588 loaves G740 were G2258 about G5616 five thousand G4000 men G435 .
|
|
45. Then Jesus told the followers to get into the boat. He told them to go to the other side of the lake to Bethsaida. He said he would come later. He stayed there to tell everyone they could go home.
|
45. And G2532 straightway G2112 he constrained G315 his G848 disciples G3101 to get G1684 into G1519 the G3588 ship G4143 , and G2532 to go to the other side G4254 G1519 G4008 before G4314 unto Bethsaida G966 , while G2193 he G846 sent away G630 the G3588 people G3793 .
|
|
46. After he said goodbye to them, he went up into the hills to pray.
|
46. And G2532 when he had sent them away G657 G846 , he departed G565 into G1519 a mountain G3735 to pray G4336 .
|
|
47. That night, the boat was still in the middle of the lake. Jesus was alone on the land.
|
47. And G2532 when even G3798 was come G1096 , the G3588 ship G4143 was G2258 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 sea G2281 , and G2532 he G846 alone G3441 on G1909 the G3588 land G1093 .
|
|
48. He saw the boat far away on the lake. And he saw the followers working hard to row the boat. The wind was blowing against them. Sometime between three and six o'clock in the morning, Jesus went out to the boat, walking on the water. He continued walking until he was almost past the boat.
|
48. And G2532 he saw G1492 them G846 toiling G928 in rowing G1643 ; for G1063 the G3588 wind G417 was G2258 contrary G1727 unto them G846 : and G2532 about G4012 the fourth G5067 watch G5438 of the G3588 night G3571 he cometh G2064 unto G4314 them G846 , walking G4043 upon G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 , and G2532 would G2309 have passed by G3928 them G846 .
|
|
49. But the followers saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought he was a ghost, and they started screaming.
|
49. But G1161 when they G3588 saw G1492 him G846 walking G4043 upon G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 , they supposed G1380 it had been G1511 a spirit G5326 , and G2532 cried out G349 :
|
|
50. It scared them all to see him. But he spoke to them and said, "Don't worry! It's me! Don't be afraid."
|
50. For G1063 they all G3956 saw G1492 him G846 , and G2532 were troubled G5015 . And G2532 immediately G2112 he talked G2980 with G3326 them G846 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Be of good cheer G2293 : it is G1510 I G1473 ; be not afraid G5399 G3361 .
|
|
