6:1 And he went out from there and he came to the city, and his disciples were staying close to him.
6:2 And when it was The Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue and many who heard were amazed and they were saying, “From where does this man have these things? What is this wisdom given to him that mighty works like these should be done by his hands?”
6:3 “Is this not the carpenter, son of Maryam and brother of Yaqob, and Yose and Yehudah and Shimeon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they were suspicious of him.
6:4 And Yeshua said to them, “There is no Prophet who is despised except in his city and among his kindred and in his house.”
6:5 And he was not able to do even one powerful work there, but only laid his hands upon a few sick folks and healed them.
6:6 He was astonished at the lack of their faith and he was going around in the villages as he taught.
6:7 And he called his twelve and he began to send them two by two and he gave them authority over vile spirits to cast them out.
6:8 And he commanded them that they would not take anything on the road except perhaps a staff, no bag, no bread, no copper in their purses,
6:9 But that they would wear sandals, and they should not wear two tunics.
6:10 And he said to them, “Into whatever house you enter, stay there until you depart from there.”
6:11 “And all who will not receive you and will not hear you, when you leave that place, shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet for their testimony; truly I say to you that it will be tranquil for Sadom and Amorah in the day of judgment compared to that city.”
6:12 And they went out and they preached that they should return to God.
6:13 And they were casting out many evil spirits, and they were anointing the many sick with oil and they were healing them.
6:14 And Herodus The King heard about Yeshua, for his name was known to him and he said, “He is Yohannan The Baptizer; he is raised from the grave, therefore, mighty works are performed by him.”
6:15 Others were saying, “He is Elijah”, and others, “He is a Prophet like one of The Prophets.”
6:16 Now when Herodus heard, he said, “Yohannan, whose head I cut off, has arisen from the grave.”
6:17 For Herodus had sent and seized Yohannan and bound him in the prison for the sake of Herodia whom he had taken, the wife of Phillipus his brother.
6:18 For Yohannan had said to Herodus, “It is not lawful for you to take the wife of your brother.”
6:19 But Herodia was threatening him and she wanted to kill him and was unable.
6:20 Herodus had been afraid of Yohannan because he had known that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him and he heard many things that he had said and did services for him, and he heard him with pleasure.
6:21 It was a notable day when Herodus made a supper for his nobles and for the Captains and the Leaders of Galilee on his birthday.
6:22 And the daughter of Herodia came in, and she danced, and she pleased Herodus and those who were reclining with him, and The King said to the girl, “Ask of me anything that you desire, and I shall give it to you.”
6:23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you shall ask, I shall give to you, unto the half of my Kingdom.”
6:24 But she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said to her, “The head of Yohannan The Baptizer.”
6:25 At once she entered with diligence to the King, and she said to him, “I want you to give me on a dish, this hour, the head of Yohannan The Baptizer.”
6:26 And it grieved The King much, but because of the oath and because of the dinner guests, he was unwilling to deny her.
6:27 The King sent the executioner at once and commanded to bring the head of Yohannan and he went and cut off the head of Yohannan in the prison.
6:28 And he brought it on a plate and he gave it to the girl and the girl gave it to her mother.
6:29 His disciples heard and they came and took his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
6:30 And The Apostles were gathered unto Yeshua and they told him everything that they had done and everything whatever they had taught.
6:31 And he said to them, “Come, we shall go to the country alone and rest yourselves a little.” For there were many going and coming and there was not a place for them even to eat.
6:32 And they went to a deserted place in a ship by themselves.
6:33 And many saw them as they were going, and they recognized them and they ran on land from all the cities before him to that place.
6:34 And Yeshua went forth, seeing the great crowds, and he was moved with pity on them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
6:35 And when the time had grown late, his disciples came to him and they were saying to him, “This is a desolate place and the time is late.”
6:36 “Dismiss them that they may go to the market that they may go around to the villages also and buy bread for themselves, for there is nothing for them to eat.”
6:37 He said to them, “You give them food.” They said to him, “Shall we go buy 200 denarii of bread and give them to eat?”
6:38 He said to them, “Go see how many loaves you have here.” When they looked, they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish.”
6:39 And he commanded them to seat everyone on the grass.
6:40 And they were seated by hundreds and by 50's.
6:41 And he took those five loaves and two fish and gazed into Heaven and he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave to his disciples to set before them and they divided those two fish for all of them.
6:45 And at once he urged his disciples to board the ship and go before him to the other side to Bethsaida while he sent the multitude away.
6:46 And when he had sent them away he went to a mountain to pray.
6:47 But when it had become evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.
6:48 And he saw them laboring as they were rowing, for the wind was against them. And it was, that in the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came toward them as he was walking on the sea, and he wanted to pass by them.
6:49 They saw him that he was walking on the water, and they thought to themselves that he was a hallucination and they cried out,
6:50 For they all saw him and they were afraid and immediately he spoke with them and he said to them, “Take heart, I AM THE LIVING GOD; do not be afraid.”
6:51 And he came up to join them in the ship and the wind ceased, and they were greatly astonished and they wondered in their souls.
6:52 For they had not learned from the bread, because their heart was stupid.
6:53 And when they had crossed to the other side, they came to the land of Genesar.
6:54 And when they went out from the boat, immediately the men of the place recognized him.
6:55 And they ran in all that area, and they began to bring those who had become sick, as they were carrying them in litters to the place where they heard that he was.
6:56 And wherever he had entered a village or city, they were laying the sick in the streets, and they were begging him if they might touch even the fringe of his garment, and all those who were touching it were healed.
