1 And he went out from there, and came into his fatherland, and his disciples follow him.
2 And having become Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, How are these things in this man? and, What is the wisdom that was given to him, and such mighty works happen by his han
3 Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him.
4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and among his kin, and in his house.
5 And he could do no mighty work there, none, except having laid his hands upon a few feeble men he healed them.
6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
7 And he summons the twelve, and began to send them forth in pairs. And he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 And he commanded them that they should take up nothing for the way, except only a staff--no scrip, no bread, no copper in the belt--
9 but shod with sandals, and, Do not wear two coats.
10 And he said to them, Wherever ye enter into a house, lodge there until ye depart from there.
11 And as many as might not receive you nor hear you, as ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to them. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than
12 And having departed, they preached that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed many feeble men with olive oil, and healed them.
14 And king Herod heard, for his name had become well known. And he said, John, the man who immerses, was raised from the dead, and because of this the powers work in him.
15 Others said, He is Elijah, and others said, He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.
16 But Herod, when he heard, said, This is John whom I beheaded. He was raised from the dead.
17 For Herod himself having sent forth, he arrested John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he married her.
18 For John said to Herod, It is not permitted for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 And Herodias was resentful toward him, and wanted to kill him. And she could not,
20 for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. And having heard of him--the many things he was doing--he even heard of him gladly.
21 And having become a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday made a dinner for his chiefs, and the high captains, and the leading men of Galilee,
22 and the daughter of her (of Herodias) having come in and danced, and having pleased Herod and those who sat with the king, he said to the maiden, Ask of me whatever thou may want, and I will give to thee.
23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou may ask of me, I will give to thee, as much as half of my kingdom.
24 And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the immerser.
25 And having come in straightaway with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I want that thou may give me, of it on a platter, the head of John the immerser.
26 And the king, who became exceeding sorry, did not want to refuse her because of the oaths, and of those dining together.
27 And straightaway having sent an executioner, the king commanded his head to be brought. And having departed, he beheaded him in the prison,
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the maiden. And the maiden gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulcher.
30 And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and reported all to him, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught.
31 And he said to them, Come ye yourselves in private into a desolate place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.
32 And they departed in the boat to a desolate place in private.
33 And they saw them going. And many recognized him, and ran together on foot there from all the cities. And they went before them, and came together to him.
34 And Jesus having come out, he saw a great multitude. And he felt compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 And now many an hour having come to pass, his disciples having come to him, they say, The place is desolate, and it is now many an hour.
36 Send them away, so that after going into the fields and villages around, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.
37 But having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, After departing, shall we buy loaves of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?
38 And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to sit down, all by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves in pieces, and he gave to the disciples so that they might set before them. And he distributed the two fishes to them
42 And they all ate, and were filled.
43 And they took up fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 And straightaway he compelled his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself would send the crowd away.
46 And after sending them away, he departed onto the mountain to pray.
47 And having become evening, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them, walking on the sea, and wanted to passed by them.
49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed it to be a ghost, and cried out.
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And straightaway he spoke with them, and says to them, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.
51 And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, extraordinarily so. And they wondered,
52 for they did not understand about the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
53 And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 And when they came out of the boat, straightaway, having recognized him,
55 after running around that whole region around, they began to carry about on beds those who were faring badly, where they heard he was there.
56 And wherever he entered, into villages or cities or fields, they laid those who were feeble in the marketplaces, and besought him that if they might but touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were being healed.
1 And he departed thence and cam into his awne countre and his disciples folowed him.
2 And whe the saboth daye was come he beganne to teache in ye synagsge. And many that hearde him were astonyed and sayde: From whens hath he these thinges? and what wysdo is this that is geve vnto him? and suche vertues yt are wrought by his hondes?
3 Is not this that carpeter Maryes sonne ye brother of Iames and Ioses and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his systers here with vs? And they were offended by him.
4 And Iesus sayde vnto the: a prophet is not despysed but in his awne coutre and amonge his awne kynne and amonge the that are of the same housholde.
5 And he coulde there shewe no miracles but leyd his hondes apon a feawe sicke foolke and healed the.
6 And he merveyled at their vnbelefe. And he went aboute by ye tounes yt laye on every syde teachynge.
7 And he called ye twelve and beganne to sende them two and two and gave them power over vnclene spretes.
8 And comaunded the that they shuld take nothinge vnto their Iorney save a rodde only: Nether scrippe nether breed nether mony in their pourses:
9 but shuld be shood with sandals. And that they shuld not put on two coottes.
10 And he sayd vnto the: whersoever ye entre in to an house there abyde tyll ye departe thence
11 And whosoever shall not receave you nor heare you when ye departe thence shake of the duste that is vnder youre fete for a witnesse vnto them. I saye verely vnto you it shalbe easyer for Zodom and Gomor at the daye of iudgement then for that cite.
12 And they went out and preached that they shuld repent:
13 and they caste out many devylles. And they annoynted many that were sicke with oyle and healed them.
14 And kynge Herode herde of him (for his name was spreed abroade) and sayd: Iohn Baptiste is rysen agayne from deeth and therfore miracles are wrought by him.
15 Wother sayd it is Helyas: and some sayde: it is a Prophet or as one of ye Prophetes.
16 But when Herode hearde of him he sayd: it is Iohn whom I beheded he is rysen from deeth agayne.
17 For Herode him sylfe had sent forth and had taken Iohn and bounde him and cast him into preson for Herodias sake which was his brother Philippes wyfe. For he had maried her.
18 Iohn sayd vnto Herode: It is not laufull for the to have thy brothers wyfe.
19 Herodias layd wayte for him and wolde have killed him but she coulde not.
20 For Herode feared Iohn knowynge yt he was a iuste man and an holy: and gave him reverence: and when he hearde him he dyd many thinges and hearde him gladly.
21 But when a couenient daye was come: Herode on his birth daye made a supper to ye lordes captayns and chefe estates of Galile.
22 And ye doughter of ye sayde Herodias came in and daused and pleased Herode and them that sate at bourde also. Then ye kynge sayd vnto ye mayden: axe of me what thou wilt and I will geve it ye
23 And he sware vnto hyr whatsoever thou shalt axe of me I will geve it ye even vnto ye one halfe of my kyngdome.
24 And she wet forth and sayde to her mother: what shall I axe? And she sayde: Iohn Baptistes heed.
25 And she cam in streygth waye with haste vnto ye kynge and axed sayinge: I will that thou geve me by and by in a charger ye heed of Iohn Baptist.
26 And ye kynge was sory: howbe it for his othes sake and for their sakes which sate at supper also he wolde not put her besyde her purpose.
27 And immediatly ye kynge sent ye hangma and comaunded his heed to be brought in. And he went and beheeded him in the preson
28 and brought his heed in a charger and gave it to the mayden and the mayden gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples hearde of it they came and toke vp his body and put it in a toumbe.
30 And the apostels gaddered them selves to ggedre to Iesus and tolde him all thinges booth what they had done and what they had taught.
31 And he sayd vnto them: come ye aparte into the wyldernes and rest awhyle. For there were many comers and goers that they had no leasure so moche as to eate.
32 And he wet by ship out of the waye into a deserte place.
33 But the people spyed them when they departed: and many knewe him and ranne afote thyther out of all cities and cam thyther before them and came togedder vnto him.
34 And Iesus went out and sawe moche people and had compassion on them because they were lyke shepe which had no shepeherde. And he beganne to teache them many thinges.
35 And when ye daye was nowe farre spet his disciples came vnto him sayinge: this is a desert place and now the daye is farre passed
36 let the departe that they maye goo into the countrey rounde about and into the tounes and bye the breed: for they have nothinge to eate.
37 He answered and sayde vnto them: geve ye the to eate. And they sayde vnto him: shall we goo and bye ii.C. penyworth of breed and geve the to eate?
38 He sayde vnto the: how many loves have ye? Goo and loke. And when they had serched they sayde: v. and .ii. fysshes.
39 And he comaunded them to make them all syt doune by companyes apon the grene grasse.
40 And they sate doune here a rowe and there arowe by houndredes and by fyfties.
41 And he toke ye .v. loves and ye ii. fysshes and loked vp to heven and blessed and brake the loves and gave them to his disciples to put before the: and the .ii. fysshes he devyded amonge them all.
42 And they all dyd eate and were satisfied.
43 And they toke vp twelve baskettesfull of the gobbettes and of ye fysshes.
44 And they that ate were about fyve thousand men.
45 And streyght waye he caused his disciples to goo into the shipe and to goo over the water before vnto Bethsaida whyll he sent awaye the people.
46 And assone as he had sent them away he departed into a moutayne to praye.
47 And when even was come the ship was in the middes of the see and he alone on the londe
48 and he sawe the troubled in rowynge for the wynde was cotrary vnto them. And aboute ye fourth quartre of ye nyght he came vnto the walkinge apon the see and wolde have passed by the.
49 When they sawe him walkinge apon the see they supposed it had bene a sprete and cryed oute:
50 For they all sawe him and were afrayed. And anon he talked with them and sayde vnto them: be of good chere it is I be not afrayed.
51 And he went vp vnto them into the shippe and the wynde ceased and they were sore amased in them selves beyonde measure and marveyled.
52 For they remembred not of the loves because their hertes were blynded.
53 And they came over and went into the londe of Genezareth and drue vp into the haven.
54 And assone as they were come out of ye shippe streyght they knewe him
55 and ran forth throughout all ye region rounde about and began to cary aboute in beeddes all yt were sicke to the place where they heard tell yt he was.
56 And whyther soever he entred into tounes cities or villages they layde their sicke in the stretes and prayed him that they myght touche and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe.
