Verse
Mark - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,
- and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?
- Is not this 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 being stumbled at him.
- And Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'
- and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal `them';
- and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,
- and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,
- and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,
- but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.
- And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,
- and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'
- And having gone forth they were preaching that `men' might reform,
- and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing `them'.
- And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'
- Others said -- `It is Elijah,' and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'
- And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'
- For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,
- for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'
- and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,
- for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.
