The Gospel of Mark
Chapter 6


MARK
Chapter 6


1 And he went out from
thence; and he cometh into
his own country; and his
disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath
was come, he began to
teach in the synagogue:
and many hearing him
were astonished, saying,
Whence hath this man
these things? and, What is
the wisdom that is given
unto this man, and what
mean such mighty works
wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter,
the son of Mary, and
brother of James, and
Joses, and Judas, and
Simon? and are not his
sisters here with us? And
they were offended in him.
4 And Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is not
without honor, save in his
own country, and among
his own kin, and in his
own house.
5 And he could there do
no mighty work, save that
he laid his hands upon a
few sick folk, and healed
them.
6 And he marvelled
because of their unbelief.
And he went round about
the villages teaching.


7 And he calleth unto
him the twelve, and began
to send them forth by two
and two; and he gave them
authority over the unclean
spirits;
8 and he charged them
that they should take
nothing for their journey,
save a staff only; no bread,
no wallet, no money in
their purse;
9 but to go shod with
sandals: and, said he, put
not on two coats.
10 And he said unto them,
Wheresoever ye enter into
a house, there abide till ye
depart thence.
11 And whatsoever place
shall not receive you, and
they hear you not, as ye go
forth thence, shake off the
dust that is under your feet
for a testimony unto them.









































12 And they went out,
and preached that men
should repent.





13 And they cast out
many demons, and
anointed with oil many
that were sick, and healed
them.

14 And king Herod
heard thereof; for his name
had become known: and
he said, John the Baptizer
is risen from the dead, and
therefore do these powers
work in him.
15 But others said, It is
Elijah. And others said, It
is a prophet, even as one
of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he
heard thereof, said, John,
whom I beheaded, he is
risen.
17 For Herod himself had
sent forth and laid hold
upon John, and bound him
in prison for the sake of
Herodias, his brother
Philip's wife; for he had
married her.
18 For John said unto
Herod, It is not lawful for
thee to have thy brother's
wife.
19 And Herodias set
herself against him, and
desired to kill him; and she
could not;
20 for Herod feared John,
knowing that he was a
righteous and holy man,
and kept him safe. And
when he heard him, he was
much perplexed; and he
heard him gladly.
21 And when a
convenient day was come,
that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords,
and the high captains, and
the chief men of Galilee;
22 and when the daughter
of Herodias herself came
in and danced, she pleased
Herod and them that sat at
meat with him; and the
king said unto the damsel,
Ask of me whatsoever
thou wilt, and I will give it
thee.
23 And he sware unto her,
Whatsoever thou shalt ask
of me, I will give it thee,
unto the half of my
kingdom.
24 And she went out, and
said unto her mother, What
shall I ask? And she said,
The head of John the
Baptizer.
25 And she came in
straightway with haste
unto the king, and asked,
saying, I will that thou
forthwith give me on a
platter the head of John the
Baptist.
26 And the king was
exceeding sorry; but for
the sake of his oaths, and
of them that sat at meat, he
would not reject her.
27 And straightway the
king sent forth a soldier of
his guard, and commanded
to bring his head: and he
went and beheaded him in
the prison,
28 and brought his head
on a platter, and gave it to
the damsel; and the damsel
gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples
heard thereof, they came
and took up his corpse,
and laid it in a tomb.


30 And the apostles
gather themselves together
unto Jesus; and they told
him all things, whatsoever
they had done, and
whatsoever they had
taught.
31 And he saith unto
them, Come ye yourselves
apart into a desert place,
and rest a while. For there
were many coming and
going, and they had no
leisure so much as to eat.


32 And they went away in
the boat to a desert place
apart.
33 And the people saw
them going, and many
knew them, and they ran
together there on foot from
all the cities, and outwent
them.
34 And he came forth and
saw a great multitude, and
he had compassion on
them, because they were
as sheep not having a
shepherd: and he began to
teach them many things.
35 And when the day was
now far spent, his disciples
came unto him, and said,
The place is desert, and
the day is now far spent;
36 send them away, that
they may go into the
country and villages round
about, and buy themselves
somewhat to eat.
37 But he answered and
said unto them, Give ye
them to eat. And they say
unto him, Shall we go and
buy two hundred shillings'
worth of bread, and give
them to eat?
38 And he saith unto
them, How many loaves
have ye? go and see. And
when they knew, they say,
Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded
them that all should sit
down by companies upon
the green grass.
40 And they sat down in
ranks, by hundreds, and by
fifties.
41 And he took the five
loaves and the two fishes,
and looking up to heaven,
he blessed, and brake the
loaves; and he gave to the
disciples to set before
them; and the two fishes
divided he among them all.
42 And they all ate, and
were filled.
43 And they took up
broken pieces, twelve
basketfuls, and also of the
fishes.
44 And they that ate the
loaves were five thousand
men.

45 And straightway he
constrained his disciples to
enter into the boat, and to
go before him unto the
other side to Bethsaida,
while he himself sendeth
the multitude away.
46 And after he had taken
leave of them, he departed
into the mountain to pray.
47 And when even was
come, the boat was in the
midst of the sea, and he
alone on the land.
48 And seeing them
distressed in rowing, for
the wind was contrary unto
them, about the fourth
watch of the night he
cometh unto them,
walking on the sea; and he
would have passed by
them:
49 but they, when they
saw him walking on the
sea, supposed that it was a
ghost, and cried out;
50 for they all saw him,
and were troubled. But he
straightway spake with
them, and saith unto them,
Be of good cheer: it is I;
be not afraid.
51 And he went up unto
them into the boat; and the
wind ceased: and they
were sore amazed in
themselves;





























52 for they understood not
concerning the loaves, but
their heart was hardened.



53 And when they had
crossed over, they came to
the land unto Gennesaret,
and moored to the shore.
54 And when they were
come out of the boat,
straightway the people
knew him,
55 and ran round about
that whole region, and
began to carry about on
their beds those that were
sick, where they heard he
was.
56 And wheresoever he
entered, into villages, or
into cities, or into the
country, they laid the sick
in the marketplaces, and
besought him that they
might touch if it were but
the border of his garment:
and as many as touched
him were made whole.
MATTHEW



Matthew 13:54 And
coming into his own
country he taught them in
their synagogue, insomuch
that they were astonished,
and said, Whence hath this
man this wisdom, and
these mighty works?
Matthew 13:55 Is not this
the carpenter's son? is not
his mother called Mary?
and his brethren, James,
and Joseph, and Simon,
and Judas?
Matthew 13:56 And his
sisters, are they not all
with us? Whence then hath
this man all these things?
Matthew 13:57 And they
were offended in him. But
Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without
honor, save in his own
country, and in his own
house.
Matthew 13:58 And he
did not many mighty
works there because of
their unbelief.










Matthew 10:1 And he
called unto him his twelve
disciples, and gave them
authority over unclean
spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of
disease and all manner of
sickness.
Matthew 10:9 Get you no
gold, nor silver, nor brass
in your purses;
Matthew 10:10 no wallet
for your journey, neither
two coats, nor shoes, nor
staff: for the laborer is
worthy of his food.
Matthew 10:11 And into
whatsoever city or village
ye shall enter, search out
who in it is worthy; and
there abide till ye go forth.
Matthew 10:12 And as ye
enter into the house, salute
it.
Matthew 10:13 And if the
house be worthy, let your
peace come upon it: but if
it be not worthy, let your
peace return to you.
Matthew 10:14 And
whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear your
words, as ye go forth out
of that house or that city,
shake off the dust of your
feet.






























Matthew 11:1 And it
came to pass when Jesus
had finished commanding
his twelve disciples, he
departed thence to teach
and preach in their cities.








Matthew 14:1 At that
season Herod the tetrarch
heard the report
concerning Jesus,
Matthew 14:2 and said
unto his servants, This is
John the Baptist; he is
risen from the dead; and
therefore do these powers
work in him.
Matthew 14:3 For Herod
had laid hold on John, and
bound him, and put him in
prison for the sake of
Herodias, his brother
Philip's wife.
Matthew 14:4 For John
said unto him, It is not
lawful for thee to have her.
Matthew 14:5 And when
he would have put him to
death, he feared the
multitude, because they
counted him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6 But when
Herod's birthday came, the
daughter of Herodias
danced in the midst, and
pleased Herod.
Matthew 14:7 Whereupon
he promised with an oath
to give her whatsoever she
should ask.
Matthew 14:8 And she,
being put forward by her
mother, saith, Give me
here on a platter the head
of John the Baptist.
Matthew 14:9 And the
king was grieved; but for
the sake of his oaths, and
of them that sat at meat
with him, he commanded
it to be given;
Matthew 14:10 and he
sent and beheaded John in
the prison.
Matthew 14:11 And his
head was brought on a
platter, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it
to her mother.
Matthew 14:12 And his
disciples came, and took
up the corpse, and buried
him; and they went and
told Jesus.



















































Matthew 14:13 Now
when Jesus heard it, he
withdrew from thence in a
boat, to a desert place
apart: and when the
multitudes heard thereof,
they followed him on foot
from the cities.
Matthew 14:14 And he
came forth, and saw a
great multitude, and he
had compassion on them,
and healed their sick.
Matthew 14:15 And when
even was come, the
disciples came to him,
saying, The place is desert,
and the time is already
past; send the multitudes
away, that they may go
into the villages, and buy
themselves food.
Matthew 14:16 But Jesus
said unto them, They have
no need to go away; give
ye them to eat.
Matthew 14:17 And they
say unto him, We have
here but five loaves, and
two fishes.
Matthew 14:18 And he
said, Bring them hither to
me.
Matthew 14:19 And he
commanded the multitudes
to sit down on the grass;
and he took the five
loaves, and the two fishes,
and looking up to heaven,
he blessed, and brake and
gave the loaves to the
disciples, and the disciples
to the multitudes.
Matthew 14:20 And they
all ate, and were filled:
and they took up that
which remained over of
the broken pieces, twelve
baskets full.
Matthew 14:21 And they
that did eat were about
five thousand men, besides
women and children.










Matthew 14:22 And
straightway he constrained
the disciples to enter into
the boat, and to go before
him unto the other side, till
he should send the
multitudes away.
Matthew 14:23 And after
he had sent the multitudes
away, he went up into the
mountain apart to pray:
and when even was come,
he was there alone.
Matthew 14:24 But the
boat was now in the midst
of the sea, distressed by
the waves; for the wind
was contrary.
Matthew 14:25 And in the
fourth watch of the night
he came unto them,
walking upon the sea.
Matthew 14:26 And when
the disciples saw him
walking on the sea, they
were troubled, saying, It is
a ghost; and they cried out
for fear.
Matthew 14:27 But
straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying Be of
good cheer; it is I; be not
afraid.
Matthew 14:28 And Peter
answered him and said,
Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto the upon the
waters.
Matthew 14:29 And he
said, Come. And Peter
went down from the boat,
and walked upon the
waters to come to Jesus.
Matthew 14:30 But when
he saw the wind, he was
afraid; and beginning to
sink, he cried out, saying,
Lord, save me.
Matthew 14:31 And
immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand,
and took hold of him, and
saith unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst
thou doubt?
Matthew 14:32 And when
they were gone up into the
boat, the wind ceased.
John 6:15 Jesus therefore
perceiving that they were
about to come and take
him by force, to make him
king, withdrew again into
the mountain himself
alone.










Matthew 14:34 And
when they had crossed
over, they came to the
land, unto Gennesaret.
Matthew 14:35 And when
the men of that place knew
him, they sent into all that
region round about, and
brought unto him all that
were sick,
Matthew 14:36 and they
besought him that they
might only touch the
border of his garment: and
as many as touched were
made whole.

departed, and went
throughout the villages,
preaching the gospel, and
healing everywhere.









Luke 9:7 Now Herod the
tetrarch heard of all that
was done: and he was

that Elijah had appeared;

the old prophets was risen
again.

in a desert place.
