Mark 6 (VUL) · Opened

1Et egressus inde, abiit in patriam suam: et sequebantur eum discipuli sui:Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2et facto sabbato cœpit in synagoga docere: et multi audientes admirabantur in doctrina ejus, dicentes: Unde huic hæc omnia? et quæ est sapientia, quæ data est illi, et virtutes tales, quæ per manus ejus efficiuntur?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?

3Nonne hic est faber, filius Mariæ, frater Jacobi, et Joseph, et Judæ, et Simonis? nonne et sorores ejus hic nobiscum sunt? Et scandalizabantur in illo.Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

4Et dicebat illis Jesus: Quia non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua, et in cognatione sua.Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere, nisi paucos infirmos impositis manibus curavit:So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum, et circuibat castella in circuitu docens.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Et vocavit duodecim: et cœpit eos mittere binos, et dabat illis potestatem spirituum immundorum.Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Et præcepit eis ne quid tollerent in via, nisi virgam tantum: non peram, non panem, neque in zona æs,He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9sed calceatos sandaliis, et ne induerentur duabus tunicis.and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Et dicebat eis: Quocumque introieritis in domum, illic manete donec exeatis inde:And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11et quicumque non receperint vos, nec audierint vos, exeuntes inde, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis.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.”

12Et exeuntes prædicabant ut pœnitentiam agerent:So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13et dæmonia multa ejiciebant, et ungebant oleo multos ægros, et sanabant.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Et audivit rex Herodes (manifestum enim factum est nomen ejus), et dicebat: Quia Joannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis: et propterea virtutes operantur in illo.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.”

15Alii autem dicebant: Quia Elias est; alii vero dicebant: Quia propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis.Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Quo audito Herodes ait: Quem ego decollavi Joannem, hic a mortuis resurrexit.But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam.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.

18Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi: Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui.For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Herodias autem insidiabatur illi: et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat.So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum: et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat.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.

21Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui cœnam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilææ:On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellæ: Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi: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.”

23et juravit illi: Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei.And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Quæ cum exisset, dixit matri suæ: Quid petam? At illa dixit: Caput Joannis Baptistæ.Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem, petivit dicens: Volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.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.”

26Et contristatus est rex: propter jusjurandum, et propter simul discumbentes, noluit eam contristare:The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27sed misso spiculatore præcepit afferri caput ejus in disco. Et decollavit eum in carcere,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.

28et attulit caput ejus in disco: et dedit illud puellæ, et puella dedit matri suæ.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Quo audito, discipuli ejus venerunt, et tulerunt corpus ejus: et posuerunt illud in monumento.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Et convenientes Apostoli ad Jesum, renuntiaverunt ei omnia quæ egerant, et docuerant.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Et ait illis: Venite seorsum in desertum locum, et requiescite pusillum. Erant enim qui veniebant et redibant multi: et nec spatium manducandi habebant.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.

32Et ascendentes in navim, abierunt in desertum locum seorsum.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Et viderunt eos abeuntes, et cognoverunt multi: et pedestres de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc, et prævenerunt eos.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Et exiens vidit turbam multam Jesus: et misertus est super eos, quia erant sicut oves non habentes pastorem, et cœpit docere multa.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.

35Et cum jam hora multa fieret, accesserunt discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus hic, et jam hora præteriit: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.

36dimitte illos, ut euntes in proximas villas et vicos, emant sibi cibos, quos manducent.Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Et respondens ait illis: Date illis vos manducare. Et dixerunt ei: Euntes emamus ducentis denariis panes, et dabimus illis manducare.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?”

38Et dicit eis: Quot panes habetis? ite, et videte. Et cum cognovissent, dicunt: Quinque, et duos pisces.“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Et præcepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fœnum.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Et discubuerunt in partes per centenos et quinquagenos.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus pisces, intuens in cælum, benedixit, et fregit panes, et dedit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante eos: et duos pisces divisit omnibus.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.

42Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Et sustulerunt reliquias, fragmentorum duodecim cophinos plenos, et de piscibus.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque millia virorum.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Et statim coëgit discipulos suos ascendere navim, ut præcederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam, dum ipse dimitteret populum.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46Et cum dimisisset eos, abiit in montem orare.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47Et cum sero esset, erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Et videns eos laborantes in remigando (erat enim ventus contrarius eis) et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans supra mare: et volebat præterire eos.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,

49At illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem supra mare, putaverunt phantasma esse, et exclamaverunt.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Omnes enim viderunt eum, et conturbati sunt. Et statim locutus est cum eis, et dixit eis: Confidite, ego sum: nolite timere.for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Et ascendit ad illos in navim, et cessavit ventus. Et plus magis intra se stupebant:Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52non enim intellexerunt de panibus: erat enim cor eorum obcæcatum.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesareth, et applicuerunt.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum:As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55et percurrentes universam regionem illam, cœperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Et quocumque introibat, in vicos, vel in villas aut civitates, in plateis ponebant infirmos, et deprecabantur eum, ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent, et quotquot tangebant eum, salvi fiebant.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.
