Mark Chapter 6

• Mark 6:1
  Mark.
• Mark 6:2
  He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
• Mark 6:3
  When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” an...
• Mark 6:4
  Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at hi...
• Mark 6:5
  Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
• Mark 6:6
  He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
• Mark 6:7
  He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
• Mark 6:8
  He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
• Mark 6:9
  He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
• Mark 6:10
  but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
• Mark 6:11
  He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
• Mark 6:12
  Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredl...
• Mark 6:13
  They went out and preached that people should repent.
• Mark 6:14
  They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
• Mark 6:15
  King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work ...
• Mark 6:16
  But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
• Mark 6:17
  But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
• Mark 6:18
  For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
• Mark 6:19
  For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
• Mark 6:20
  Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
• Mark 6:21
  for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly...
• Mark 6:22
  Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
• Mark 6:23
  When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whate...
• Mark 6:24
  He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
• Mark 6:25
  She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
• Mark 6:26
  She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
• Mark 6:27
  The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
• Mark 6:28
  Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
• Mark 6:29
  and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
• Mark 6:30
  When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
• Mark 6:31
  The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
• Mark 6:32
  He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
• Mark 6:33
  They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
• Mark 6:34
  They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
• Mark 6:35
  Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many ...
• Mark 6:36
  When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
• Mark 6:37
  Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
• Mark 6:38
  But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them somethin...
• Mark 6:39
  He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
• Mark 6:40
  He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
• Mark 6:41
  They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
• Mark 6:42
  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, ...
• Mark 6:43
  They all ate and were filled.
• Mark 6:44
  They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
• Mark 6:45
  Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
• Mark 6:46
  Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
• Mark 6:47
  After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
• Mark 6:48
  When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
• Mark 6:49
  Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he w...
• Mark 6:50
  but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
• Mark 6:51
  for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
• Mark 6:52
  He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
• Mark 6:53
  for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
• Mark 6:54
  When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
• Mark 6:55
  When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
• Mark 6:56
  and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
• Mark 6:57
  Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touc...
