New Testament

Mark 6

1Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

και εξηλθεν εκειθεν και ηλθεν εις την πατριδα εαυτου· και ακολουθουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου.

2And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, 'Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

και γενομενου σαββατου ηρξατο εν τη συναγωγη διδασκειν· και πολλοι ακουοντες εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντες· ποθεν τουτω ταυτα; και τις η σοφια η δοθεισα αυτω, και δυναμεις τοιαυται δια των χειρων αυτου γινονται;

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

ουχ ουτος εστιν ο τεκτων, ο υιος της μαριας, αδελφος δε ιακωβου και ιωση και ιουδα και σιμωνος; και ουκ εισιν αι αδελφαι αυτου ωδε προς ημας; και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω.

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

ελεγεν δε αυτοις ο ιησους οτι ουκ εστιν προφητης ατιμος ει μη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τοις συγγενεσιν και εν τη οικια αυτου.

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

και ουκ ηδυνατο εκει ουδεμιαν δυναμιν ποιησαι, ει μη ολιγοις αρρωστοις επιθεις τας χειρας εθεραπευσεν·

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

και εθαυμαζεν δια την απιστιαν αυτων. και περιηγεν τας κωμας κυκλω διδασκων.

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

και προσκαλειται τους δωδεκα, και ηρξατο αυτους αποστελλειν δυο δυο, και εδιδου αυτοις εξουσιαν των πνευματων των ακαθαρτων,

8He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts—

και παρηγγειλεν αυτοις ινα μηδεν αιρωσιν εις οδον ει μη ραβδον μονον, μη πηραν, μη αρτον, μη εις την ζωνην χαλκον,

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

αλλ υποδεδεμενους σανδαλια, και μη ενδεδυσθαι δυο χιτωνας.

10Also He said to them, 'In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.

και ελεγεν αυτοις· οπου εαν εισελθητε εις οικιαν, εκει μενετε εως αν εξελθητε εκειθεν·

11And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!'

και οσοι εαν μη δεξωνται υμας μηδε ακουσωσιν υμων, εκπορευομενοι εκειθεν εκτιναξατε τον χουν τον υποκατω των ποδων υμων εις μαρτυριον αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν, ανεκτοτερον εσται σοδομοις η γομορροις εν ημερα κρισεως η τη πολει εκεινη.

12So they went out and preached that people should repent.

και εξελθοντες εκηρυσσον ινα μετανοησωσιν,

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

και δαιμονια πολλα εξεβαλλον, και ηλειφον ελαιω πολλους αρρωστους και εθεραπευον.

14Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, 'John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.'

και ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς ηρωδης· φανερον γαρ εγενετο το ονομα αυτου· και ελεγεν οτι ιωαννης ο βαπτιζων εκ νεκρων ηγερθη, και δια τουτο ενεργουσιν αι δυναμεις εν αυτω.

15Others said, 'It is Elijah.' And others said, 'It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.'

αλλοι ελεγον οτι ηλιας εστιν· αλλοι δε ελεγον οτι προφητης εστιν ως εις των προφητων.

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

ακουσας δε ο ηρωδης ειπεν οτι ον εγω απεκεφαλισα ιωαννην, ουτος εστιν· αυτος ηγερθη εκ νεκρων.

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

αυτος γαρ ο ηρωδης αποστειλας εκρατησεν τον ιωαννην και εδησεν αυτον εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου, οτι αυτην εγαμησεν.

18Because John had said to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.'

ελεγεν γαρ ο ιωαννης τω ηρωδη οτι ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν την γυναικα του αδελφου σου.

19Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;

η δε ηρωδιας ενειχεν αυτω και ηθελεν αυτον αποκτειναι, και ουκ ηδυνατο.

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

ο γαρ ηρωδης εφοβειτο τον ιωαννην, ειδως αυτον ανδρα δικαιον και αγιον, και συνετηρει αυτον, και ακουσας αυτου πολλα εποιει και ηδεως αυτου ηκουεν.

21Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

και γενομενης ημερας ευκαιρου, οτε ηρωδης τοις γενεσιοις αυτου δειπνον εποιει τοις μεγιστασιν αυτου και τοις χιλιαρχοις και τοις πρωτοις της γαλιλαιας,

22And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, 'Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.'

και εισελθουσης της θυγατρος αυτης της ηρωδιαδος και ορχησαμενης και αρεσασης τω ηρωδη και τοις συνανακειμενοις, ειπεν ο βασιλευς τω κορασιω· αιτησον με ο εαν θελης, και δωσω σοι.

23He also swore to her, 'Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.'

και ωμοσεν αυτη οτι ο εαν με αιτησης δωσω σοι, εως ημισους της βασιλειας μου.

24So she went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask?' And she said, 'The head of John the Baptist!'

η δε εξελθουσα ειπεν τη μητρι αυτης· τι αιτησομαι; η δε ειπεν· την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου.

25Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, 'I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.'

και εισελθουσα ευθεως μετα σπουδης προς τον βασιλεα ητησατο λεγουσα· θελω ινα μοι δως εξαυτης επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου.

26And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

και περιλυπος γενομενος ο βασιλευς, δια τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους ουκ ηθελησεν αυτην αθετησαι.

27Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

και ευθεως αποστειλας ο βασιλευς σπεκουλατωρα επεταξεν ενεχθηναι την κεφαλην αυτου.

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

ο δε απελθων απεκεφαλισεν αυτον εν τη φυλακη, και ηνεγκεν την κεφαλην αυτου επι πινακι και εδωκεν αυτην τω κορασιω, και το κορασιον εδωκεν αυτην τη μητρι αυτης.

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

και ακουσαντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηλθον και ηραν το πτωμα αυτου, και εθηκαν αυτο εν μνημειω.

30Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

και συναγονται οι αποστολοι προς τον ιησουν, και απηγγειλαν αυτω παντα, και οσα εποιησαν και οσα εδιδαξαν.

31And He said to them, 'Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.' For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

και ειπεν αυτοις· δευτε υμεις αυτοι κατ ιδιαν εις ερημον τοπον, και αναπαυεσθε ολιγον· ησαν γαρ οι ερχομενοι και οι υπαγοντες πολλοι, και ουδε φαγειν ευκαιρουν·

32So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

και απηλθον εις ερημον τοπον εν πλοιω κατ ιδιαν.

33But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.

και ειδον αυτους υπαγοντας, και επεγνωσαν αυτους πολλοι, και πεζη απο πασων των πολεων συνεδραμον εκει και προηλθον αυτους και συνηλθον προς αυτον.

34And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις, οτι ησαν ως προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα, και ηρξατο διδασκειν αυτους πολλα.

35When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, 'This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

και ηδη ωρας πολλης γενομενης προσελθοντες αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγουσιν οτι ερημος εστιν ο τοπος και ηδη ωρα πολλη·

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

απολυσον αυτους, ινα απελθοντες εις τους κυκλω αγρους και κωμας αγορασωσιν εαυτοις αρτους· τι γαρ φαγωσιν ουκ εχουσιν.

37But He answered and said to them, 'You give them something to eat.'

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν. και λεγουσιν αυτω· απελθοντες αγορασωμεν δηναριων διακοσιων αρτους και δωμεν αυτοις φαγειν;

38And they said to Him, 'Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?' But He said to them, 'How many loaves do you have? Go and see.'

ο δε λεγει αυτοις· ποσους αρτους εχετε; υπαγετε και ιδετε. και γνοντες λεγουσιν· πεντε, και δυο ιχθυας.

39And when they found out they said, 'Five, and two fish.' Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

και επεταξεν αυτοις ανακλιναι παντας συμποσια συμποσια επι τω χλωρω χορτω.

40So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.

και ανεπεσον πρασιαι πρασιαι ανα εκατον και ανα πεντηκοντα.

41And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

και λαβων τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον ευλογησεν, και κατεκλασεν τους αρτους και εδιδου τοις μαθηταις ινα παραθωσιν αυτοις, και τους δυο ιχθυας εμερισεν πασιν.

42So they all ate and were filled.

και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν,

43And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

και ηραν κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις, και απο των ιχθυων.

44Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

και ησαν οι φαγοντες τους αρτους πεντακισχιλιοι ανδρες.

45Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

και ευθεως ηναγκασεν τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν εις το περαν προς βηθσαιδαν, εως αυτος απολυση τον οχλον·

46And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

και αποταξαμενος αυτοις απηλθεν εις το ορος προσευξασθαι.

47Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

και οψιας γενομενης ην το πλοιον εν μεσω της θαλασσης, και αυτος μονος επι της γης.

48Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

και ιδων αυτους βασανιζομενους εν τω ελαυνειν· ην γαρ ο ανεμος εναντιος αυτοις· και περι τεταρτην φυλακην της νυκτος ερχεται προς αυτους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης, και ηθελεν παρελθειν αυτους.

49And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

οι δε ιδοντες αυτον περιπατουντα επι της θαλασσης εδοξαν φαντασμα ειναι, και ανεκραξαν·

50for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, 'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.'

παντες γαρ αυτον ειδον και εταραχθησαν. και ευθεως ελαλησεν μετ αυτων και λεγει αυτοις· θαρσειτε, εγω ειμι, μη φοβεισθε.

51Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

και ανεβη εις το πλοιον προς αυτους, και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος· και λιαν εκ περισσου εν εαυτοις εξισταντο και εθαυμαζον.

52For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

ου γαρ συνηκαν επι τοις αρτοις, αλλ ην αυτων η καρδια πεπωρωμενη.

53When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

και διαπερασαντες απηλθον επι την γην γεννησαρετ και προσωρμισθησαν.

54And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

και εξελθοντων αυτων εκ του πλοιου ευθεως επιγνοντες αυτον

55ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.

περιεδραμον ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και ηρξαντο επι τοις κραβαττοις τους κακως εχοντας περιφερειν οπου ηκουον οτι εκει εστιν·

56Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

και οπου αν εισεπορευετο εις κωμας η πολεις η αγρους, εν ταις αγοραις ετιθεσαν τους ασθενουντας και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα καν του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου αψωνται· και οσοι αν ηπτοντο αυτου, εσωζοντο.
