Mark 6:1-30

1And he wentG1831 out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciplesG3101 followG190 him. 2And when the sabbathG4521 was comeG1096, he beganG757 to teachG1321 in the synagogueG4864: and manyG4183 hearingG191 him were astonishedG1605, sayingG3004, Whence hath this manG3778 these thingsG3778? and, What is the wisdomG4678 that is givenG1325 unto this manG3778, and what mean suchG5108 mightyG1411 works wrought by his handsG5495? 3IsG1510 not this the carpenterG5045, the sonG5207 of MaryG3137, and brotherG80 of JamesG2385, and JosesG2500, and JudasG2455, and SimonG4613? and areG1510 not his sistersG79 hereG5602 with us? And they wereG1510 offendedG4624 in him. 4And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, A prophetG4396 isG1510 not without honorG820, save in his ownG1438 country, and among his ownG1438 kin, and in his ownG1438 houseG3614. 5And he could there do no mightyG1411 work, save that he laidG2007 his handsG5495 upon a fewG3641 sickG732 folk, and healedG2323 them. 6And he marvelled because of their unbeliefG570.

And he went round about the villagesG2968 teachingG1321.

7And he calleth unto him the twelveG1427, and beganG757 to sendG649 them forthG649 by twoG1417 and twoG1417; and he gaveG1325 them authorityG1849 over the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151; 8and he charged them that they should takeG142 nothingG3367 for their journeyG3598, save a staffG4464 onlyG3440; no breadG740, no wallet, no moneyG5475 in their purse; 9but to go shod with sandalsG4547: and, said he, putG1746 not on twoG1417 coats. 10And he saidG3004 unto them, Wheresoever ye enterG1525 into a houseG3614, there abideG3306 till ye departG1831 thence. 11And whatsoever placeG5117 shall not receiveG1209 you, and they hearG191 you not, as ye goG1607 forthG1607 thence, shakeG1621 off the dustG5522 that is under your feetG4228 for a testimonyG3142 unto them. 12And they wentG1831 out, and preachedG2784 that men should repentG3340. 13And they castG1544 out manyG4183 demonsG1140, and anointedG218 with oilG1637 manyG4183 that were sickG732, and healedG2323 them.

14And kingG935 HerodG2264 heardG191thereof; for his nameG3686 had becomeG1096 known: and he saidG3004, JohnG2491 the Baptizer is risenG1453 from the deadG3498, and therefore do these powersG1411 workG1754 in him. 15But othersG243 saidG3004, It isG1510 ElijahG2243. And othersG243 saidG3004, It isG1510 a prophetG4396, even as oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396. 16But HerodG2264, when he heardG191 thereof, saidG3004, JohnG2491, whom I beheadedG607, he is risenG1453. 17For HerodG2264 himself had sentG649 forthG649 and laidG2902 holdG2902 upon JohnG2491, and boundG1210 him in prisonG5438 for the sakeG1223 of HerodiasG2266, his brotherG80 Philip’s wifeG1135; for he had marriedG1060 her. 18For JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto HerodG2264, It is not lawfulG1832 for thee to have thy brother’sG80 wifeG1135. 19And HerodiasG2266 set herself against him, and desiredG2309 to killG615 him; and she could not; 20for HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowing that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and kept him safe. And when he heardG191 him, he was muchG4183 perplexedG639; and he heardG191 him gladlyG2234. 21And whenG3753 a convenient dayG2250 was comeG1096, that HerodG2264 on his birthdayG1077 madeG4160 a supperG1173 to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of GalileeG1056; 22and when the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 herself cameG1525 in and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and them that sat at meat with him; and the kingG935 saidG3004 unto the damsel, AskG154 of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will giveG1325 it thee. 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt askG154 of me, I will giveG1325 it thee, unto the halfG2255 of my kingdomG932. 24And she wentG1831 out, and saidG3004 unto her motherG3384, What shall I askG154? And she saidG3004, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the Baptizer. 25And she cameG1525 in straightway with haste unto the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 that thou forthwith giveG1325 me on a platterG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910. 26And the kingG935 was exceeding sorry; but for the sakeG1223 of his oathsG3727, and of them that sat at meat, he would not rejectG114 her. 27And straightway the kingG935 sentG649 forthG649 a soldier of his guard, and commandedG2004 to bringG5342 his headG2776: and he wentG565 and beheadedG607 him in the prisonG5438, 28and broughtG5342 his headG2776 on a platterG4094, and gaveG1325 it to the damsel; and the damsel gaveG1325 it to her motherG3384. 29And when his disciplesG3101 heardG191 thereof, they cameG2064 and tookG142 up his corpse, and laidG5087 it in a tombG3419.

30And the apostlesG652 gatherG4863 themselves togetherG4863 unto JesusG2424; and they toldG518 him all thingsG3956, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taughtG1321.
