Mark [Hammer] 6:15-53

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

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

¹⁷For 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.

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

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

²⁰for 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.

²¹Then 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.

²²When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod Heroic and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

²³He swore to her, “Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”

²⁴She went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John Yah is gracious the Immerser.”

²⁵She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, “I want you to give me right now the head of John Yah is gracious the Immerser on a platter.”

²⁶The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.

²⁷Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John Yah is gracious’s head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

²⁸and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

²⁹When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

³⁰The apostles gathered themselves together to Yeshua Salvation, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.

³¹He said to them, “You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

³²They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.

³³They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.

³⁴Yeshua Salvation came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

³⁵When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.

³⁶Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”

³⁷But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii (200 days wages) worth of bread, and give them something to eat?”

³⁸He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”

³⁹He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

⁴⁰They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

⁴¹He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

⁴²They all ate, and were filled.

⁴³They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.

⁴⁴Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

⁴⁵Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

⁴⁶After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

⁴⁸Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about 4 o'clock in the morning he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,

⁴⁹but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, “Take heart! Ena Na I AM (the Living God)! Don’t be afraid.”

⁵¹He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

⁵²for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

⁵³When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
