Mark 6:4-14 in English

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.

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.

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.

⁴ And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, 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 marveled 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 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 devils, 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 Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in 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!”

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.”

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.”

⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and amongst 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 marvelled 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 judgement 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 Baptiser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in 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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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 Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in 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.”

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.”
