Mark 6 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Teaching at Nazareth

(Mat 13:53–58; Luk 4:16–30 )

Jesus went^G1831 out^G1831 from^G1564 there^G1564 and *came^G2064 into [fn]His hometown^G3968; and His disciples^G3101 *followed^G190 Him.

Mar 6:2

Mar 6:2And when the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and [fn]the many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man learn these things, and what is this wisdom that has been given to Him, and such [fn]miracles as these performed by His hands?

Mar 6:3

Mar 6:3“Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of [fn]James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

Mar 6:4

Mar 6:4Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not dishonored except in [fn]his hometown and among his own relatives, and in his own household.”

Mar 6:5

Mar 6:5And He could not do any [fn]miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

Mar 6:6

Mar 6:6And He was amazed at their unbelief.

And He was going^G4013 around^G4013^G2945 the villages^G2968, teaching^G1321.

The Twelve Sent Out

(Mat 10:1, 5–15; Luk 9:1–6 )

Mar 6:7

And He *summoned^G4341 the twelve^G1427 and began^G757 to send^G649 them out^G649 in^G649 pairs^G1417, and gave^G1325 them authority^G1849 over the unclean^G169 spirits^G4151;

Mar 6:8

Mar 6:8and He instructed them that they were to take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no [fn]bag, no money in their belt—

Mar 6:9

Mar 6:9but [fn]to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not wear two [fn]tunics.”

Mar 6:10

Mar 6:10And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you [fn]leave town.

Mar 6:11

Mar 6:11“Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust [fn]off the soles of your feet as a testimony against them.”

Mar 6:12

Mar 6:12And they went out and [fn]preached that people are to repent.

Mar 6:13

Mar 6:13And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.

John’s Fate Recalled

(Mat 14:1–12; Luk 9:7–9 )

Mar 6:14

And King^G935 Herod^G2264 heard^G191 about it, for His name^G3686 had become^G1096 well^G5318 known^G5318; and people were saying^G3004, “John^G2491 the Baptist^G907 has risen^G1453 from the dead^G3498, and that is why^G1223 these^G3588 miraculous^G1411 powers^G1411 are at work^G1754 in Him.”

Mar 6:15

Mar 6:15But others were saying, “He is Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

Mar 6:16

Mar 6:16But when Herod heard about it, he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”

Mar 6:17

For Herod^G2264 himself^G846 had sent^G649 men and had John^G2491 arrested^G2902 and bound^G1210 in prison^G5438 on account^G1223 of Herodias^G2266, the wife^G1135 of his brother^G80 Philip^G5376, because^G3754 he had married^G1060 her.

Mar 6:18

Mar 6:18For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Mar 6:19

Mar 6:19And Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death, and could not do so;

Mar 6:20

Mar 6:20for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he had been protecting him. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; and yet he [fn]used to enjoy listening to him.

Mar 6:21

Mar 6:21An opportune day came when Herod, on his birthday, held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders, and the leading people of Galilee;

Mar 6:22

Mar 6:22and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and [fn]his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

Mar 6:23

Mar 6:23And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.”

Mar 6:24

Mar 6:24And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

Mar 6:25

Mar 6:25Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

Mar 6:26

Mar 6:26And although the king was very sorry, because of his oaths and [fn]his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

Mar 6:27

Mar 6:27Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison,

Mar 6:28

Mar 6:28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

Mar 6:29

Mar 6:29When his disciples heard about this, they came and carried away his body, and laid it in a tomb.

(Mat 14:13–21; Luk 9:10–17; Jhn 6:1–14 )

Mar 6:30

The apostles^G652 *gathered^G4863 together^G4863 with Jesus^G2424; and they reported^G518 to Him all^G3956 that they had done^G4160 and taught^G1321.

Mar 6:31

Mar 6:31And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

Mar 6:32

Mar 6:32And they went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.

Five Thousand Men Fed

Mar 6:33

Mar 6:33The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.

Mar 6:34

Mar 6:34When Jesus went [fn]ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.

Mar 6:35

Mar 6:35And when it was already late, His disciples came up to Him and said, “[fn]This place is secluded and it is already late;

Mar 6:36

Mar 6:36send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves [fn]something to eat.”

Mar 6:37

Mar 6:37But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” And they *said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred [fn]denarii on bread, and give it to them to eat?”

Mar 6:38

Mar 6:38But He *said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they *said, “Five, and two fish.”

Mar 6:39

Mar 6:39And He ordered them all to recline by groups on the green grass.

Mar 6:40

Mar 6:40They reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties.

Mar 6:41

Mar 6:41And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He gave them to the disciples again and again to set before them; and He divided the two fish among them all.

Mar 6:42

Mar 6:42And they all ate and were satisfied;

Mar 6:43

Mar 6:43and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish.

Mar 6:44

Mar 6:44There were five thousand [fn]men who ate the loaves.

Jesus Walks on the Water

(Mat 14:22–33; Jhn 6:15–21 )

Mar 6:45

And immediately^G2117 Jesus had^G315 His disciples^G3101 get^G1684 into the boat^G4143 and go^G4254 ahead^G4254 of Him to the other^G4008 side^G4008, to Bethsaida^G966, while^G2193 He Himself^G846 *dismissed^G630 the crowd^G3793.

Mar 6:46

Mar 6:46And after saying goodbye to them, He left for the mountain to pray.

Mar 6:47

When it was evening^G3798, the boat^G4143 was in the middle^G3319 of the sea^G2281, and He was alone^G3441 on the land^G1093.

Mar 6:48

Mar 6:48Seeing them [fn]straining at the oars—for the wind was against them—at about the [fn]fourth watch of the night, He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.

Mar 6:49

Mar 6:49But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out;

Mar 6:50

Mar 6:50for they all saw Him and were [fn]terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”

Mar 6:51

Mar 6:51Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

Mar 6:52

Mar 6:52for they [fn]had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but [fn]their hearts were hardened.

Healing at Gennesaret

(Mat 14:34–36 )

Mar 6:53

When they had crossed^G1276 over^G1276 they came^G2064 to land^G1093 at Gennesaret^G1082, and moored^G4358 at the shore.

Mar 6:54

Mar 6:54And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

Mar 6:55

Mar 6:55and ran about that entire country and began carrying here and there on their pallets those who were sick, [fn]to wherever they heard He was.

Mar 6:56

Mar 6:56And wherever He entered villages, or cities, or a countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and all who touched it were being [fn]healed.
