Mark 6:3-21 in English

³ 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 offended in him.

⁴ And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.

⁷ And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

⁸ and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse;

⁹ but to go shod with sandals: and, said he, put not on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

¹¹ And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

¹² And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

¹³ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

¹⁵ But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

¹⁹ And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

⁴ But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

⁷ And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

⁸ And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

⁹ But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹² And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

¹³ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

¹⁸ For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

¹⁹ And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous man and a holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

³ ◄ We know that he is just an ordinary carpenter!/Isn't he just an ordinary carpenter RHQ?► We know him and his family! We know Mary his mother! ◄ We know his younger brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his younger brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?► RHQ And ◄his younger sisters also live here in this town!/do not his younger sisters also live here in this town?► RHQ” So they despised him.

⁴ Jesus knew that they refused to believe in him. So he said to them, “ It is certainly true that people honor me and other prophets in other places, but not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”

⁵ So, although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he decided not to perform many other miracles in Nazareth because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.

⁶ He was amazed that they did not believe in him. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus and his disciples went from town to town in that region teaching the people.

⁷ One day he summoned the twelve disciples, and then he told them that he was going to send them out two-by-two to teach people in various towns. He gave them power to expel evil spirits from people.

⁸ He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag in which travelers carry supplies, nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed.

¹⁰ He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, if someone invites you to stay in his house, go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.

¹¹ Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that place. By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message.”

¹² So after the disciples went out to various towns, they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.

¹³ They were also expelling many evil spirits from people, and they were anointing many sick people with olive oil and healing them.

¹⁴ King Herod Antipas heard about what Jesus was doing, because many people were talking about it. Some people were saying about Jesus, “ He must be John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he has God's power to perform these miracles!”

¹⁵ Others were saying about Jesus, “He is the former prophet Elijah, whom God promised to send back again.” Others were saying about Jesus, “ No, he is a different prophet, like one of the other prophets who lived long ago.”

¹⁶ Having heard what the people were saying, King Herod Antipas himself repeatedly said, “The man performing those miracles must be John! I commanded my soldiers to cut off his head, but he has come back to life again to get revenge for my killing him!”

¹⁷ The reason King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this, Herod married Herodias, while she was still the wife of his younger brother, Philip.

¹⁸ John kept telling Herod, “ God's law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother while he is still alive.” Then, because Herodias urged him to put John in prison, Herod himself sent soldiers to John. They seized John and put him in prison.

¹⁹ But because Herodias wanted to get further revenge on John, she wanted someone to execute him. But she could not do that because while John was in prison, Herod kept John safe from her.

²⁰ Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.

²¹ But Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the most important government officials, the most important army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee district in order that they might eat and celebrate with him.

³ 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 him.

⁴ 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.”

⁵ He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

⁶ He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

⁷ He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

⁸ He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

¹⁰ He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

¹¹ 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. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

¹² They went out and preached that people should repent.

¹³ They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.

¹⁴ 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 in him.”

¹⁵ But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

¹⁶ But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

¹⁹ Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

²⁰ 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.

²¹ 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.

³ 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 him.

²⁰ 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.

²¹ 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.

³ Is not this the woodworker, 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 bitter against him.

⁴ And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.

⁵ And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

⁶ And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

⁷ And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

⁸ And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

⁹ They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.

¹¹ And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.

¹² And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

¹³ And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

¹⁴ And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

¹⁵ But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

¹⁹ And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

²⁰ For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

²¹ And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

³ 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 offended in him.

⁴ But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not despised save in his own country, and among his kinsmen, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed them.

⁶ And he wondered because of their unbelief. And he went round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁷ And he calls the twelve to him; and he began to send them out two and two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits;

⁸ and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;

⁹ but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence.

¹¹ And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

¹² And they went forth and preached that they should repent;

¹³ and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.

¹⁴ And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

¹⁵ And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But Herod when he heard it said, John whom I beheaded, he it is; he is risen from among the dead.

¹⁷ For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

¹⁹ But Herodias kept it in her mind against him, and wished to kill him, and could not:

²⁰ for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹ And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief men of Galilee;

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him.

⁴ And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.

⁵ And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.

⁶ And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.

⁷ And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

⁸ And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse,

⁹ But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place.

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.

¹² And going forth they preached that men should do penance:

¹³ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

¹⁵ And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

¹⁸ For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

¹⁹ Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.

²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

³ Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” And they were offended at Him.

⁴ But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house.”

⁵ And He could do no miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

⁶ And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁷ And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

⁸ He commanded them that they should take nothing for the journey except a staff, only—no knapsack, no bread, nor a copper coin for their money belts—

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

¹⁰ And He said to them, “Wherever you may enter into a house, stay there until you go out from there.

¹¹ And as many as do not receive you nor hear you, as you leave from there, shake off the dust underneath your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or for Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that city!”

¹² And when they went out, they were preaching that people should repent.

¹³ And they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing with oil many who were sick, and were healing them.

¹⁴ And King Herod heard, for His name became well known. And he said, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and for this reason the miracles are at work in him.”

¹⁵ Others said, “He is Elijah.” But others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”

¹⁶ But when he heard, Herod said, “It is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

¹⁸ For John would say to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him and was desiring to kill him, but she was not able;

²⁰ for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he was protecting him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and he would hear him gladly.

²¹ And when an opportune day arrived, when Herod for his birthday festivities was putting on a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee,

³ Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And aren't his sisters here with us?” So they took offense at Him.

⁴ But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown, among his relatives, even in his own house.”

⁵ He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

⁶ And He marveled at their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

⁷ Then He summoned the twelve and began to send them out, two by two, giving them authority over the unclean spirits as He did so.

⁸ And He commanded them to take nothing for the road, except just a staff—no knapsack, no bread, no coin in the belt—

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

¹⁰ And He said to them: “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from that place.

¹¹ And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day than for that city.”

¹² So they went out and started preaching that people should repent,

¹³ and they were casting out many demons, and anointing with oil and healing many who were sick.

¹⁴ Now King Herod heard of Him, because His name had become well known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers are at work in him.”

¹⁵ Others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”

¹⁶ But when Herod heard, he said: “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”

¹⁷ You see, Herod himself had ordered John arrested, and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her

¹⁸ —John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn't lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she couldn't,

²⁰ because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a just and holy man. And consulting him he would do many things; indeed, he would hear him with pleasure.

²¹ Then an opportune day came when on his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his courtiers, the military commanders, and the chief men of Galilee.

³ Isn't this the carpenter, Mary's son—the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Don't his sisters live here among us?” They were offended and rejected him.

⁴ “A prophet is treated with respect except in his home town, among his relatives, and within his own family,” Jesus told them.

⁵ The result was that Jesus could not do any miracles there, except to heal a few sick people.

⁶ He was amazed at their lack of trust. Jesus traveled around the villages, teaching as he went.

⁷ He called together the twelve disciples, and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority over evil spirits.

⁸ He told them not to take anything with them except a walking stick—no bread, no bag, and no money in their belts.

⁹ They could wear sandals, but they were not to take an extra shirt.

¹⁰ “When you're invited into a home, stay there until you leave,” he told them.

¹¹ “If you're not welcomed and not listened to, then shake the dust from your feet as you leave as a sign you have given up on them.”

¹² So they went around telling people to repent.

¹³ They drove out many demons, and healed many who were sick by anointing them with oil.

¹⁴ King Herod got to hear about Jesus since he had become well-known. Some said, “This is John the Baptist risen from the dead. That's why he has such miraculous powers.”

¹⁵ Others said, “It's Elijah.” Still others said, “He's a prophet, like one of the prophets of the past.”

¹⁶ But when Herod heard about it, he said, “It's John, the one I beheaded! He's come back from the dead!”

¹⁷ For Herod had given orders to arrest and imprison John because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom Herod had married.

¹⁸ John had been saying to Herod, “It's against the law to marry your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ So Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted him killed. But she wasn't able to arrange it

²⁰ because Herod knew John was a holy man who did what was right. Herod protected John and though what John said was very disturbing to him, he was still happy to hear what he had to say.

²¹ Herodias had her opportunity on Herod's birthday. He gave a banquet for the nobles, military officers, and important leaders of Galilee.

³ Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him.

⁴ Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them,

⁶ And he marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, teaching.

⁷ And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits,

⁸ And commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles:

⁹ But that they should be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coates.

¹⁰ And he sayd vnto them, Wheresoeuer ye shall enter into an house, there abide till ye depart thence.

¹¹ And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is vnder your feete, for a witnes vnto them. Verely I say vnto you, It shalbe easier for Sodom, or Gomorrha at the day of iudgement, then for that citie.

¹² And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their liues.

¹³ And they cast out many deuils: and they anointed many that were sicke, with oyle, and healed them.

¹⁴ Then King Herod heard of him (for his name was made manifest) and sayd, Iohn Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by him.

¹⁵ Other sayd, It is Elias, and some sayd, It is a Prophet, or as one of those Prophets.

¹⁶ So when Herod heard it, he said, It is Iohn whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her.

¹⁸ For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife.

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias layd waite against him, and would haue killed him, but she could not:

²⁰ For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that hee was a iust man, and an holy, and reuerenced him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹ But the time being conuenient, when Herod on his birth day made a banket to his princes and captaines, and chiefe estates of Galile:

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

⁴ But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

⁷ And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

⁸ and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

⁹ but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹² And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

¹³ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and a holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

⁶ Jesus was going to towns, he was teaching them about God's word.

^7a After that he called his men,

^7c he told them, I will send you to people, you will tell them about God. I told you this word. From now on you send evil spirits from people. You go, do not take money or food.

⁹ Put on shoes, take only one set of clothes. Leave other clothes behind.

¹⁰ Perhaps in some towns a person will say to you, 'Come here, stay a little while with us.' At that time you will stay in his camp in that town.

¹¹ Perhaps you will come to other towns, they will ignore you, they will not ask you to stay in their town, they will not listen to God's word. If they do that do not stay in that town. Brush the dust from your shoes. When you do that you will show them God will be angry with them after ignoring his word. Then leave that town.

^12a Yes, that is all. Go by twos.”

^12b After that they went. As they were going they were telling people, “You have been ignoring God. Leave doing wrong and believe in God!”

¹³ They were sending away many evil spirits, they put medicine on many sick people, they were asking God, “Will you make this person well.” After that the sick person became well. God made them well.

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judah, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they took offence at him.

⁴ And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hand upon a few sick persons, and cured them.

⁶ And he wondered at their want of faith. And he went about the surrounding villages teaching.

⁷ And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over the unclean spirits;

⁸ and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way but a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their girdle;

⁹ but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.

¹¹ And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go thence, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony to them.

¹² And they went out and preached that men should repent;

¹³ and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and healed them.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.

¹⁵ And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and seized John, and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

¹⁹ And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.

²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to him gladly.

²¹ And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles and chief captains and the principal men of Galilee,

³ Isn't he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And aren't his sisters, too, living here amongst us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;

⁴ at which Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his home town, and amongst his own relatives, and in his own home.”

⁵ And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands on a few infirm persons, and curing them;

⁶ and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went around the villages, one after another, teaching.

⁷ He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out as his messengers, two and two, and gave them authority over foul spirits.

⁸ He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey — not even bread, or a bag, or coins in their purse;

⁹ but they were to wear sandals, and not to put on a second coat.

¹⁰ “Whenever you go to stay at a house,” he said, “remain there until you leave that place;

¹¹ and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”

¹² So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.

¹³ They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.

¹⁴ Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptiser must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”

¹⁵ Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a prophet, like one of the great prophets.”

¹⁶ But when Herod heard of him, he said — “The man whom I beheaded — John — he must be risen!”

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,

²⁰ because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.

²¹ A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.

³ Isn't he the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And aren't his sisters, too, living here among us?” This proved a hindrance to their believing in him;

⁴ at which Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his home town, and among his own relatives, and in his own home.”

⁵ And he could not work any miracle there, beyond placing his hands on a few infirm persons, and curing them;

⁶ and he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went around the villages, one after another, teaching.

¹¹ and if a place does not welcome you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust that is on the soles of your feet, as a protest against them.”

¹² So they set out, and proclaimed the need of repentance.

¹³ They drove out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were infirm, and cured them.

¹⁴ Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying — “John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him.”

¹⁵ Others again said — “He is Elijah,” and others — “He is a prophet, like one of the great prophets.”

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and arrested John, and put him in prison, in chains, to please Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because Herod had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod — “You have no right to be living with your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,

²⁰ because Herod stood in fear of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and protected him. He had listened to John, but still remained much perplexed, and yet he found pleasure in listening to him.

²¹ A suitable opportunity, however, occurred when Herod, on his birthday, gave a dinner to his high officials, and his generals, and the foremost men in Galilee.

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary Rebellion, and brother of James Surplanter, Joses, Judah Praised, and Simeon Hearing? Are not his sisters here with us?” They were offended at him.

⁴ Yeshua Salvation said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

⁵ He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.

⁶ He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

⁷ He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

⁸ He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no brass coin money in their purse,

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

¹⁰ He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

¹¹ 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. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom Burning and Gomorrah Rebellious people, Tyrants in the day of judgment than for that city!”

¹² They went out and preached that people should teshuvah ·turn repent·.

¹³ They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.

¹⁴ King Herod Heroic heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John Yah is gracious the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

¹⁵ But others said, “He is Elijah My God Yah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

¹⁶ But Herod Heroic, when he heard this, said, “This is John Yah is gracious, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

¹⁷ For Herod Heroic himself had sent out and arrested John Yah is gracious, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip Loves horses’s wife, for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John Yah is gracious said to Herod Heroic, “It violates the Torah ·Teaching· for you to marry your brother’s wife.”

¹⁹ Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

²⁰ for Herod Heroic feared John Yah is gracious, knowing that he was a upright and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

²¹ Then a convenient day came, that Herod Heroic on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee District, Circuit.

⁴ Jesus then said to them, “If God gives a man a message, lots of people know he is God’s man and they respect him. But not the people that knew that special man from the time he was a little boy. They don’t respect him. Even his close family and relations don’t listen to him.”

⁵ The people of his own community didn’t believe in Jesus, and he was really shocked. So he couldn’t do anything really powerful there. He only touched a few sick people and made them better. Then he left them and went to other little communities, and taught them God’s words.

⁷ Jesus called together his 12 close followers. He told them, “You have to go to every community and tell my message to the people. Let them take care of you when you go there. Don’t take a bag, or food, or money or spare clothes with you. Just take your sandals and a walking stick. After you get to a community, and that community is happy for you to stay, you have to camp in only one house. Don’t move around to different houses. But if a community doesn’t want to have you there, and if they will not listen to you, then you have to go away from it. As you leave it, shake the dust off your feet. That will show that mob that they will get trouble. It will be like you are telling them, ‘You didn’t take notice of my message, so God will judge you and punish you.’” And Jesus told his close followers, “I’m giving you my power now to force bad spirits out from people.” Then Jesus split them into 6 teams with 2 men in each team, and sent them out to do God’s work.

¹² The teams did as Jesus told them. They went to other communities and told everyone to turn around, change their lives and come back to God’s way.

¹³ Those men sent a lot of bad spirits out of people. And they put olive oil on a lot of sick people, like medicine for them, and those sick people got better.

¹⁴ This is the story about what happened to John the Baptiser. The big boss called King Herod had a brother called Philip. Philip had a wife called Herodias. Herodias didn’t want to live with Philip any more, so she left him, and married Herod. John kept on telling Herod, “You are breaking God’s law. You shouldn’t have your brother’s wife.” Herodias hated John for saying this and she wanted to kill him, but Herod sent some soldiers to grab John and keep him in jail, so Herodias couldn’t do anything to him. John was a good man and lived God’s way all the time, so Herod was frightened of him. And Herod liked to talk with John, but John’s words confused him and upset him. Some time later Herod had a birthday party, and Herodias got her chance to hurt John. All the leaders of Herod’s army and the government bosses from Galilee country were there at Herod’s party. The daughter of Herodias danced for them at that party. Everybody was really happy with her dancing, so Herod made a strong promise to her, he told her, “I want to give you a really good present. You can ask for anything. I will give you anything you ask for, even as much as half of this country. This is true. I’m not lying.” That young girl went outside and asked her mother, “What will I ask for?” Her mother said, “Go back in and ask the big boss to send a soldier to cut off John the Baptiser’s head, and give it to you as a present.” The girl ran back into the party and said to King Herod, “I want you to give me John the Baptiser’s head on a big plate, and I want it right now.” When Herod heard these words he was really sad. But he didn’t want to break his promise and be ashamed, so he sent a soldier to cut off John’s head and bring it back to the girl on a big plate. The soldier went to the jail and cut off John’s head and brought it back to the party, and he gave it to the young girl, and then she gave it to her mother. John’s friends heard this bad news. They came and got his body, then they took it away and buried it. Later lots of people heard about what Jesus was doing and they talked about him all the time. Some people said, “Jesus is really Elijah, that old man that told God’s message a long time ago. God made him alive again.” Some other people said, “Jesus is a man talking for God, just like those other men that told God’s message a long time ago.” But some people reckoned, “Jesus is really John the Baptiser. God made John alive again and gave him power to do great things.” King Herod heard these stories and said, “I got my soldiers to cut John’s head off, but this man now, he has to be John the Baptiser. I reckon God made him alive again.”

³ Is not this that carpeter Maryes sonne the brother of Iames and Ioses and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his systers here with vs? And they were offended by him.

⁴ And Iesus sayde vnto the: a prophet is not despysed but in his awne countre and amonge his awne kynne and amonge the that are of the same housholde.

⁵ And he coulde there shewe no miracles but leyd his hondes apon a feawe sicke foolke and healed them.

⁶ And he merveyled at their vnbelefe. And he went aboute by the tounes that laye on every syde teachynge.

⁷ And he called the twelve and beganne to sende them two and two and gave them power over vnclene spretes.

⁸ And commaunded the that they shuld take nothinge vnto their Iorney save a rodde only: Nether scrippe nether breed nether mony in their pourses:

⁹ but shuld be shood with sandals. And that they shuld not put on two coottes.

¹⁰ And he sayd vnto them: whersoever ye entre in to an house there abyde tyll ye departe thence

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receave you nor heare you when ye departe thence shake of the duste that is vnder youre fete for a witnesse vnto them. I saye verely vnto you it shalbe easyer for zodom and Gomor at the daye of iudgement then for that cite.

¹² And they went out and preached that they shuld repent:

¹³ and they caste out many devylles. And they annoynted many that were sicke with oyle and healed them.

¹⁴ And kynge Herode herde of him (for his name was spreed abroade) and sayd: Iohn Baptiste is rysen agayne from deeth and therfore miracles are wrought by him.

¹⁵ Wother sayd it is Helyas: and some sayde: it is a Prophet or as one of the Prophetes.

¹⁶ But when Herode hearde of him he sayd: it is Iohn whom I beheded he is rysen from deeth agayne.

¹⁷ For Herode him sylfe, had sent forth and had taken Iohn, and bounde him and cast him into preson for Herodias sake which was his brother Philippes wyfe. For he had maried her.

¹⁸ Iohn sayd vnto Herode: It is not laufull for the to have thy brothers wyfe.

¹⁹ Herodias layd wayte for him and wolde have killed him but she coulde not.

²⁰ For Herode feared Iohn knowynge that he was a iuste man and an holy: and gave him reverence: and when he hearde him he dyd many thinges and hearde him gladly.

²¹ But when a conuenient daye was come: Herode on his birth daye made a supper to the lordes captayns and chefe estates of Galile.

³ “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?” They were offended by Jesus.

⁴ Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”

⁵ He was unable to do any mighty work, except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

⁶ He was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went around the villages teaching.

⁷ Then he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits,

⁸ and instructed them to take nothing for their journey, except a staff—no bread, no bag, and no money in their belts—

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.

¹⁰ He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, remain until you go away from there.

¹¹ If any town will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave that place, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony to them.”

¹² They went out and proclaimed that people should turn away from their sins.

¹³ They cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

¹⁴ King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

¹⁵ Some others said, “He is Elijah.” Still others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets in ancient times.”

¹⁶ But when Herod heard this he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”

¹⁷ For Herod sent to have John arrested and he had him bound in prison on account of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), because he had married her.

¹⁸ For John told Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”

¹⁹ But Herodias held on to anger against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not,

²⁰ for Herod feared John; he knew that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. Listening to him made him greatly upset, yet he heard him gladly.

²¹ Then the opportunity came when Herod had his birthday and he made a dinner for his officials, and his commanders, and leaders of Galilee.

³ 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 him.

⁴ 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.”

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

⁴ But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.

⁵ And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick persons, and healed them .

⁶ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.

⁷ And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

⁸ And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:

⁹ But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

¹¹ And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹² And they went out and preached that men should repent.

¹³ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them .

¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ But when Herod heard of him , he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath risen from the dead.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and observed him: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹ And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;

³ Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Miriam and brother of Jacob, Yosi, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.

⁴ Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

⁵ He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

⁶ He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

⁷ He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

⁸ He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

⁹ but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

¹⁰ He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

¹¹ 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. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

¹² They went out and preached that people should repent.

¹³ They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.

¹⁴ King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “Yochanan the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

¹⁵ But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

¹⁶ But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

¹⁸ For Yochanan had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

¹⁹ Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

²⁰ for Herod feared Yochanan, 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.

²¹ 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.

³ Whether this is not a carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and of Joseph and of Judas and of Simon? whether his sisters be not here with us? And they were offended in him.

⁴ And Jesus said to them, That a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his kin, and in his house.

⁵ And he might not do there any virtue, save that he healed a few sick men, laying on them his hands.

⁶ And he wondered for the unbelief of them. And he went about castles on each side, and taught.

⁷ And he called together twelve, and began to send them by two together; and gave to them power of unclean spirits,

⁸ and commanded them, that they should not take anything in the way, but a staff or a rod only, not a scrip, nor bread, neither money in the girdle,

⁹ but shod with sandals, and that they should not be clothed with two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, Whither ever ye enter into an house, dwell ye there, till ye go out from thence.

¹¹ And whoever receive you not, nor hear you, go ye out from thence, and shake away the powder from your feet, into witnessing to them.

¹² And they went forth, and preached, that men should do penance.

¹³ And they casted out many fiends, and anointed with oil many sick men, and they were healed.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, for his name was made open, and he said, That John Baptist hath risen again from death, and therefore virtues work in him.

¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elijah; but others said, That it is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ And when this thing was heard, Herod said, This is John, whom I have beheaded, he is risen again from death.

¹⁷ For that Herod sent, and held John, and bound him into prison, for Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother; for he had wedded her.

¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is not leaveful to thee, to have the wife of thy brother.

¹⁹ And Herodias laid ambush to him, and would slay him, and might not.

²⁰ And Herod dreaded John, and knew him a just man and holy, and kept him. And Herod heard him, and he did many things, and gladly heard him.

²¹ And when a covenable day was fallen, Herod in his birthday made a supper to the princes, and tribunes, and to the greatest of Galilee.

³ Whether this is not a carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and of Joseph and of Judas and of Simon? whether his sisters be not here with us? And they were offended in him, (or And they were offended by him, or they were contemptuous of him).

⁴ And Jesus said to them, That a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his kin, and in his house. (And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own hometown, and among his kin, and his family.)

⁵ And he might not do there any virtue, save that he healed a few sick men, laying on them his hands. (And he could not do any work of power or miracle there, except that he healed a few sick men, laying his hands on them.)

¹² And they went forth, and preached, that men should do penance (or that men should repent).

¹³ And they casted out many fiends (or And they threw out many devils and demons), and anointed with oil many sick men, and they were healed.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, for his name was made open, and he said, That John (the) Baptist hath risen again from death, and therefore virtues work in him. (And King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ fame had spread far and wide, and he said, John the Baptist hath risen again from the dead, and so works of power, or miracles, work in him.)

¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias (or He is Elijah); but others said, That it is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

¹⁶ And when this thing was heard, Herod said, This is John, whom I have beheaded, he is risen again from death (or he hath risen from the dead).

¹⁷ For that Herod sent (for), and held John, and bound him into prison, for Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother; for he had wedded her.

(And when an opportune day had fallen, Herod held a supper on his birthday for the leaders, or the officials, and the tribunes, and for the greatest of Galilee.)

³ Whether this is not a carpenter, the sone of Marie, the brother of James and of Joseph and of Judas and of Symount? whether hise sistris ben not here with vs? And thei weren sclaundrid in hym.

³ 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.

⁴ And Jesus said to them — 'A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

⁵ and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

⁶ and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

⁷ 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,

⁸ 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,

⁹ but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

¹⁰ And he said to them, 'Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

¹¹ 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.'

¹² And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,

¹³ and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing them.

¹⁴ 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.'

¹⁵ Others said — 'It is Elijah,' and others said — 'It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

¹⁶ And Herod having heard, said — 'He whom I did behead — John — this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

¹⁷ 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,

¹⁸ for John said to Herod — 'It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

¹⁹ and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

²⁰ 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.

²¹ And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,
