[1] And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. [2] And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? [3] not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and not his sisters here with And they were offended at him. [4] Jesus unto them, A prophet not without honour, in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. [5] And he could there do no mighty work, that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [6] And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. [7] And he called unto him the twelve, and began them forth by two and gave them power over unclean spirits; [8] And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: [9] But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. [10] And unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. [11] And not receive nor hear when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. [12] And they went out, and preached that men should repent. [13] And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [14] And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. [15] Others That Elias. And others That a prophet, as one of the prophets. [16] But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It John, I beheaded: is risen [17] For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. [18] For John unto Herod, not lawful to have brother's wife. [19] Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: [20] For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, many things, and heard him gladly. [21] And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; [22] And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [23] And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give unto the half kingdom. [24] And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John [25] And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. [26] And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which he would not reject her. [27] And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: he went and beheaded him in the prison, [28] And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it mother. [29] And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. [30] And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. [31] And unto them, Come yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for many coming and going, and leisure so much as to eat. [32] And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. [33] And them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and him. [34] And when he came out, much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because 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, a desert place, and now the time is far passed: [36] them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? [38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. [39] And he commanded them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. [40] And they sat down in ranks, hundreds, and fifties. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And all eat, and were filled. [43] And they took up twelve baskets of the fragments, and of the fishes. [44] And they that did eat of the loaves five thousand men.
