Mark 6:1-18 ▼

1 And he departed thence, & came into his owne countrey, and his disciples folowed him.

2 And when the sabboth day was come, he beganne to teache in the synagogue: And many that hearde hym, were astonyed, and sayde: from whence hath he these thynges? And what wisdome is this that is geuen vnto hym? and such myghtie workes that are wrought by his handes?

3 Is not this the carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames & Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended at hym.

4 Iesus sayde vnto them, that a prophete is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kynne, and in his owne house.

5 And he coulde there shewe no mightie worke: but layde his handes vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them.

6 And he marueyled, because of their vnbeliefe. And he went about by the townes that lay on euery syde, teachyng.

7 And he called the twelue, and beganne to sende them foorth, two and two, and gaue the power ouer vncleane spirites.

8 And commaunded them, that they shoulde take nothyng in their iourney, saue a staffe only: no scrippe, no bread, no money in their purse.

9 But shoulde be shoed with sandales: And that they shoulde not put on two coates.

10 And he sayde vnto them: Whersoeuer ye enter into an house, there abyde tyll ye depart thence.

11 And whosoeuer shall not receaue you nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake of the dust that is vnder your feet, for a witnesse vnto them: I say veryly vnto you, it shalbe easyer for the Sodomites and the Gomorrheans in the day of iudgement, then for that citie.

12 And they went out, & preached, that men should repent.

13 And they cast out many deuyls, and annoynted many that were sicke, with oyle, and healed them.

14 And king Herode hearde of hym for his name was spread abrode: And he sayde, Iohn Baptist is rysen agayne from the dead, and therefore myghtie workes do shewe foorth them selues in hym.

15 Other saide, it is Elias. Some saide, it is a prophete, or as one of the prophetes.

16 But when Herode hearde of hym, he saide: It is Iohn, whom I beheaded, he is rysen from death agayne.

17 For Herode himselfe had sent foorth, and layde handes vpon Iohn, & bounde hym in pryson, for Herodias sake, his brother Philippes wyfe, because he had maryed her.

18 For Iohn sayde vnto Herode: It is not lawful for thee to haue thy brothers wyfe.
