2 STV καὶ γενομένου σαββάτου ἤρξατο ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ διδάσκειν καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες Πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα αὐτῷ, ὅτι καὶ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόνται BSB BSB: When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
4 STV ἔλεγεν δὲ αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ BSB BSB: Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
5 STV καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἐκεῖ οὐδεμίαν δύναμιν ποιῆσαι εἰ μὴ ὀλίγοις ἀρρώστοις ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐθεράπευσεν BSB BSB: So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
6 STV καὶ ἐθαύμαζεν διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν Καὶ περιῆγεν τὰς κώμας κύκλῳ διδάσκων BSB BSB: And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
7 STV καὶ προσκαλεῖται τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ ἤρξατο αὐτοὺς ἀποστέλλειν δύο δύο καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τῶν πνευμάτων τῶν ἀκαθάρτων BSB BSB: Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8 STV καὶ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰ μὴ ῥάβδον μόνον μὴ πήραν μὴ ἄρτον μὴ εἰς τὴν ζώνην χαλκόν BSB BSB: He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
9 STV ἀλλ’ ὑποδεδεμένους σανδάλια καὶ μὴ ἐνδύσησθε δύο χιτῶνας BSB BSB: and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
10 STV καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Ὅπου ἐὰν εἰσέλθητε εἰς οἰκίαν ἐκεῖ μένετε ἕως ἂν ἐξέλθητε ἐκεῖθεν BSB BSB: And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
11 STV καὶ ὃσοι ἂν μὴ δέξωνταί ὑμᾶς μηδὲ ἀκούσωσιν ὑμῶν ἐκπορευόμενοι ἐκεῖθεν ἐκτινάξατε τὸν χοῦν τὸν ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀνεκτοτερον ἔσται Σοδόμοις ἤ Γομόρροις ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως, ἤ τῇ πόλει ἐκείνη BSB BSB: If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
12 STV Καὶ ἐξελθόντες ἐκήρυσσον ἵνα μετανοήσωσιν BSB BSB: So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
13 STV καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλλον καὶ ἤλειφον ἐλαίῳ πολλοὺς ἀρρώστους καὶ ἐθεράπευον BSB BSB: They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
14 STV Καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγεν ὅτι Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐκ νεκρῶν ἠγέρθη, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ BSB BSB: Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 STV ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐστίν· ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον ὅτι προφήτης ἐστίν· ἢ ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν BSB BSB: Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16 STV ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἡρῴδης εἶπεν, ὅτι Ὃν ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα Ἰωάννην οὗτος ἐστιν· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν BSB BSB: But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
17 STV Αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν· BSB BSB: For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
18 STV ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ ὅτι Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου BSB BSB: For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
19 STV ἡ δὲ Ἡρῳδιὰς ἐνεῖχεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἤθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο· BSB BSB: So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
20 STV ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης ἐφοβεῖτο τὸν Ἰωάννην εἰδὼς αὐτὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον καὶ ἅγιον καὶ συνετήρει αὐτόν καὶ ἀκούσας αὐτοῦ πολλὰ ἐποίει, καὶ ἡδέως αὐτοῦ ἤκουεν BSB BSB: because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
21 STV Καὶ γενομένης ἡμέρας εὐκαίρου ὅτε Ἡρῴδης τοῖς γενεσίοις αὐτοῦ δεῖπνον ἐποίει τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς πρώτοις τῆς Γαλιλαίας BSB BSB: On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22 STV καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης καὶ ἄρεσασης, τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κορασίῳ Αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς καὶ δώσω σοι· BSB BSB: When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
23 STV καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ ὅτι, Ὅ ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς δώσω σοι ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου BSB BSB: And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
24 STV ἡ δὲ ἐξελθοῦσα εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς Τί αἰτήσομαι ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίστου BSB BSB: Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 STV καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα εὐθὲως μετὰ σπουδῆς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾐτήσατο λέγουσα Θέλω ἵνα μοι δῷς ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ BSB BSB: At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
26 STV καὶ περίλυπος γενόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους οὐκ ἠθέλησεν αὐτὴν ἀθετῆσαι BSB BSB: The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27 STV καὶ εὐθὲως ἀποστείλας ὁ βασιλεὺς σπεκουλάτωρα ἐπέταξεν ἐνεχθῆναι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ ἀπελθὼν ἀπεκεφάλισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ BSB BSB: So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
28 STV καὶ ἤνεγκεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ κορασίῳ καὶ τὸ κοράσιον ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς BSB BSB: The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
29 STV καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦλθον καὶ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ BSB BSB: When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30 STV Καὶ συνάγονται οἱ ἀπόστολοι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ πάντα καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησαν Καὶ ὅσα ἐδίδαξαν BSB BSB: Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
31 STV καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Δεῦτε ὑμεῖς αὐτοὶ κατ’ ἰδίαν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε ὀλίγον ἦσαν γὰρ οἱ ἐρχόμενοι καὶ οἱ ὑπάγοντες πολλοί καὶ οὐδὲ φαγεῖν ηὐκαίρουν BSB BSB: And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 STV καὶ ἀπῆλθον εἰς ἔρημον τόπον τῷ πλοίῳ κατ’ ἰδίαν BSB BSB: So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
33 STV καὶ εἶδον αὐτοὺς ὑπάγοντας οἱ ὄχλοι, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτὸν πολλοί καὶ πεζῇ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων συνέδραμον ἐκεῖ καὶ προῆλθον αὐτούς καὶ συνῆλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν BSB BSB: But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
34 STV καὶ ἐξελθὼν εἶδεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πολὺν ὄχλον καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἦσαν ὡς πρόβατα μὴ ἔχοντα ποιμένα καὶ ἤρξατο διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς πολλά BSB BSB: When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35 STV Καὶ ἤδη ὥρας πολλῆς γενομένης προσελθόντες αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἤδη ὥρα πολλή· BSB BSB: By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
36 STV ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τοὺς κύκλῳ ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς ἄρτους τί γὰρ φάγωσιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν BSB BSB: Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 STV ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ἀπελθόντες ἀγοράσωμεν διακοσίων δηναρίων ἄρτους καὶ δώμεν αὐτοῖς φαγεῖν BSB BSB: But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
38 STV ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε ὑπάγετε καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνόντες λέγουσιν Πέντε καὶ δύο ἰχθύας BSB BSB: “Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39 STV καὶ ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς ἀνακλῖναι πάντας συμπόσια συμπόσια ἐπὶ τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ BSB BSB: Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
40 STV καὶ ἀνέπεσον πρασιαὶ πρασιαὶ ἀνὰ ἑκατὸν καὶ ἀνὰ πεντήκοντα BSB BSB: So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 STV καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν καὶ κατέκλασεν τοὺς ἄρτους καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα παραθῶσιν αὐτοῖς καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἐμέρισεν πᾶσιν BSB BSB: Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
42 STV καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν BSB BSB: They all ate and were satisfied,
43 STV καὶ ἦραν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πληρεις, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἰχθύων BSB BSB: and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44 STV καὶ ἦσαν οἱ φαγόντες τοὺς ἄρτους ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες BSB BSB: And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
46 STV καὶ ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι BSB BSB: After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
47 STV καὶ ὀψίας γενομένης ἦν τὸ πλοῖον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ αὐτὸς μόνος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς BSB BSB: When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
48 STV καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς βασανιζομένους ἐν τῷ ἐλαύνειν ἦν γὰρ ὁ ἄνεμος ἐναντίος αὐτοῖς καὶ περὶ τετάρτην φυλακὴν τῆς νυκτὸς ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης· καὶ ἤθελεν παρελθεῖν αὐτούς BSB BSB: He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
49 STV οἱ δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν περιπατοῦντα ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης ἔδοξαν φάντασμά εἶναι, καὶ ἀνέκραξαν· BSB BSB: but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
50 STV πάντες γὰρ αὐτὸν εἶδον καὶ ἐταράχθησαν καὶ εὐθὲως ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Θαρσεῖτε ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε BSB BSB: for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51 STV καὶ ἀνέβη πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ λίαν ἐκ περισσοῦ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἐξίσταντο· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον BSB BSB: Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
52 STV οὐ γὰρ συνῆκαν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρτοις ἦν γὰρ ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν πεπωρωμένη BSB BSB: for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
53 STV Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν Γενησαρέτ καὶ προσωρμίσθησαν BSB BSB: When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54 STV καὶ ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου εὐθὲως ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν BSB BSB: As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
55 STV περιδραμόντες ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην ἤρξαντο ἐπὶ τοῖς κραββάτοις τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας περιφέρειν ὅπου ἤκουον ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστιν BSB BSB: and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
56 STV καὶ ὅπου ἂν εἰσεπορεύετο εἰς κώμας ἢ πόλεις ἢ ἀγροὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς ἐτίθουν τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα κἂν τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται· καὶ ὅσοι ἂν ἤπτοντο αὐτοῦ ἐσῴζοντο BSB BSB: And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
