^6:1 And he went out from there; and he came into his homeland; and his disciples follow him.^6:2 And when it became the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing him were astounded, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given to this man and how are such miracles happening through his hands?^6:3 Is this not 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 _<6>offended by him.^6:4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his homeland and among his own relatives and in his own house.^6:5 And he was not able to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands upon a few who were sick and healed them.^6:6 And he marveled because of their unbelief.

(Mk 6:6-13 & Mt 9:35-10:42 & Lk 9:1-6) Third circuit of Galilee

And he went around the villages teaching.

^6:7 And he calls to him the twelve and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;^6:8 and he commanded them that they should take nothing FOR the journey, except only a staff; no wallet, no bread, no coins in their belt;^6:9 but to go having strapped on sandals and do not put on two tunics.^6:10 And he said to them, Wherever you* enter into a house, abide there until you* depart from there.^6:11 And as many as will not receive you*, nor will not hear you*, as you* go out from there, shake off the dust which is under your* feet for a testimony to them. Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.^6:12 And they went out and preached that men should repent.^6:13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

(Mk 6:14-29 & Mt 14:1-12 & Lk 9:7-9)

^6:14 And King Herod heard of this ; for* his name had become manifest and he said, John the Immerser* has risen from the dead and because of this these powers are working in him.^6:15 Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets of old.^6:16 But Herod, when he heard of it, said, John, whom I beheaded, it is he, he has risen from the dead.

^6:17 For* Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.^6:18 For* John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.^6:19 And Herodias set herself against him. And she was willing to kill him and was not able;^6:20 for* Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.^6:21 And when it became a convenient day, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his great men and the chief-captains and the chief men of Galilee;^6:22 and the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and she pleased Herod and those who reclined at the meal with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask me whatever you will and I will give it to you*.^6:23 And he swore to her, Whatever you will ask me, I will give it you, to the half of my kingdom.

^6:24 And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Immerser*.^6:25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, I will that you immediately give me on a platter the head of John the Immerser*.^6:26 And the king became very-sorrowful but because of his oaths and those who reclined at the meal with him, he did not wish to reject her.^6:27 And immediately the king sent forth an executioner and commanded his head to be brought and he went and beheaded him in the prison,^6:28 and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.^6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

(Mk 6:30-32 & Mt 14:13 & Lk 9:10 & Jn 6:1) East shore of Galilee

(Mk 6:33-44 & Mt 14:13-21 & Lk 9:11-17 & Jn 6:2-14)

^6:30 And the apostles gather themselves together with Jesus; and they reported to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.^6:31 And he said to them, You* yourselves come privately into a deserted place and rest a little. For* there were many coming and going and they had not even had an opportunity to eat.^6:32 And they went away into a deserted place by the boat privately.^6:33 And the crowds saw them going and many knew them and they ran together there on foot from all the cities and went before them and came together to him.^6:34 And Jesus came forth and saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them, because they were like* sheep not having a shepherd and he began to teach them many things.^6:35 And already becoming a late hour, his disciples came to him and say, The place is a wilderness and already it is a late hour;^6:36 dismiss them, that they may go into the rural-area and villages around here and buy bread for themselves, for* they do not have anything to eat.

^6:37 But he answered and said to them, You* give them something to eat.

And they say to him, Should we go and buy two hundred denarius' worth of bread and give them that to eat?

^6:38 And he says to them, How many loaves do you* have? Go and see.

And when they knew, they said, Five and two fish.^6:39 And he commanded those who all should recline by groups upon the green grass.^6:40 And they reclined in rows, by hundreds and by fifties.^6:41 And he took the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves; and he gave to his disciples to set before them; and he divided the two fish among them all.^6:42 And they all ate and were filled.^6:43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls and also of the fish.^6:44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

(Mk 6:45-56 & Mt 14:22-36 & Jn 6:15-21)

(Jn 6:22-71) Synagogue in Capernaum

^6:45 And immediately he urged his disciples to enter into the boat and to go before him to the other side to Bethsaida, until he dismisses the crowd.^6:46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.^6:47 And when it became evening, the boat was in the midst of the sea and he was alone on the land.^6:48 And he saw them tormented by the rowing, for* the wind was contrary to them and he comes to them about the fourth watch of the night, walking on the sea; and he wished to have passed by them:^6:49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, thought it to be a ghost and cried out;^6:50 for* they all saw him and were disturbed. But immediately he spoke with them and says to them, Have courage: it is I. Do not be afraid.^6:51 And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased and they were exceedingly astonished beyond measure in themselves and marveled;^6:52 for* they did not understood what happened with the loaves, for* their heart was hardened.^6:53 And when they had crossed over to the land of Gennesaret and anchored,^6:54 and when they had come out of the boat, immediately the people knew him.^6:55 They ran around that whole region and began to carry around those who were ill on their pallets, _<6a>wherever he was.^6:56 And wherever he entered, into villages or cities or the rural-area, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and besought him that they might at least touch the border of his garment and as many as touched him were cured.

<6> 6:3 and all other places- Literally means 'caused to stumble.'

<6a> 6:55 - Greek: where they were hearing that he was there.
