Mark 6:6-29

6And He wasG2296 amazedG2296 at their unbeliefG570.

1And He was goingG4013 aroundG4013G2945 the villagesG2968, teachingG1321.

72And 3He summonedG4341 the twelveG1427 and beganG757 to sendG649 them outG649 4inG649 pairsG1417, and gaveG1325 them authorityG1849 over the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151; 85and He instructedG3853 them that they were to takeG142 nothingG3367 for their journeyG3598, exceptG1508 a mereG3441 staffG4464--noG3361 breadG740, noG3361 6bagG4082, noG3361 moneyG5475 in their beltG2223-- 9but 7to wearG5265 sandalsG4547; and He added, “Do not wearG1746 twoG1417 8tunicsG5509.” 10And He saidG3004 to them, “WhereverG3699G1437 you enterG1525 a houseG3614, stayG3306 thereG1563 untilG2193 you 9leaveG1831 townG1564. 11AnyG3739 placeG5117 that does not receiveG1209 you orG3366 listenG191 to you, as you goG1607 outG1607 fromG1564 thereG1564, 10shakeG1621 the dustG5529 11offG1621 the solesG5270 of your feetG4228 as a testimonyG3142 against them.” 1212And they wentG1831 outG1831 and 13preachedG2784 that people are to repentG3340. 13And they were castingG1544 outG1544 manyG4183 demonsG1140 and 14were anointingG218 with oilG1637 manyG4183 sickG732 peopleG732 and healingG2323 them.

1415And KingG935 HerodG2264 heardG191 about it, for His nameG3686 had becomeG1096 wellG5318 knownG5318; and people were sayingG3004, “16JohnG2491 the BaptistG907 has risenG1453 from the deadG3498, and that is whyG1223 theseG3588 miraculousG1411 powersG1411 are at workG1754 in Him.” 15But othersG243 were sayingG3004, “He is 17ElijahG2243.” And othersG243 were sayingG3004, “He is 18a prophetG4396, likeG5613 oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396 of old.” 16But when HerodG2264 heardG191 about it, he kept sayingG3004, “JohnG2491, whomG3739 I beheadedG607, has risenG1453!”

17For HerodG2264 himselfG846 had sentG649 men and had JohnG2491 arrestedG2902 and boundG1210 in prisonG5438 on accountG1223 of 19HerodiasG2266, the wifeG1135 of his brotherG80 PhilipG5376, becauseG3754 he had marriedG1060 her. 18For JohnG2491 had been sayingG3004 to HerodG2264, “20It is not lawfulG1832 for you to haveG2192 your brother’sG80 wifeG1135.” 19And 21HerodiasG2266 heldG1758 aG1758 grudgeG1758 againstG1758 him and wantedG2309 to putG615 him toG615 deathG615, and couldG1410 not do so; 20for 22HerodG2264 wasG5399 afraidG5399 of JohnG2491, knowingG3609 that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and he had been protectingG4933 him. And when he heardG191 him, he was veryG4183 perplexedG639; and yet he 23used to enjoyG2234 listeningG191 to him. 21An opportuneG2121 dayG2250 cameG1096 whenG3753 HerodG2264, on his birthdayG1077, 24heldG4160 a banquetG1173 for his noblesG3175 and militaryG5506 commandersG5506, and the leadingG4413 peopleG4413 25of GalileeG1056; 22and when the daughterG2364 of 26HerodiasG2266 herselfG846 cameG1525 inG1525 and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and 27his dinnerG4873 guestsG4873; and the kingG935 saidG3004 to the girlG2877, “AskG154 me for whateverG3739G1437 you wantG2309, and I will giveG1325 it to you.” 23And he sworeG3660 to her, “WhateverG3739G1437 you askG154 of me, I will giveG1325 it to you, up to 28halfG2255 of my kingdomG932.” 24And she wentG1831 outG1831 and saidG3004 to her motherG3384, “WhatG5101 shall I askG154 for?” And she saidG3004, “The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG907.” 25ImmediatelyG2117 she cameG1525 inG1525 a hurryG4710 to the kingG935 and askedG154, sayingG3004, “I wantG2309 you to giveG1325 me at onceG1824 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 on a platterG4094.” 26And although the kingG935 was veryG4036 sorryG4036, becauseG1223 of his oathsG3727 and 29his dinnerG345 guestsG345, he was unwillingG3756G2309 to refuseG114 her. 27ImmediatelyG2117 the kingG935 sentG649 an executionerG4688 and commandedG2004 him to bringG5342 back his headG2776. And he wentG565 and beheadedG607 him in the prisonG5438, 28and broughtG5342 his headG2776 on a platterG4094, and gaveG1325 it to the girlG2877; and the girlG2877 gaveG1325 it to her motherG3384. 29When his disciplesG3101 heardG191 about this, they cameG2064 and carriedG142 awayG142 his bodyG4430, and laidG5087 it in a tombG3419.
