[영어 성경] Mark chapter 6

Mk. 6:1 Jesus left there and went to his home town, accompanied by

his disciples.

Mk. 6:2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue,

and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man

get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has

been given him, that he even does miracles!

Mk. 6:3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother

of James, Joseph, [Greek: Joses, a variant of Joseph] Judas

102

and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took

offence at him.

Mk. 6:4 Jesus said to them, “Only in his home town, among his

relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honour.”

Mk. 6:5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a

few sick people and heal them.

Mk. 6:6 And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went

round teaching from village to village.

Mk. 6:7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and

gave them authority over evil [Greek: unclean] spirits.

Mk. 6:8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey

except a staff — no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.

Mk. 6:9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic.

Mk. 6:10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that

town.

Mk. 6:11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake

the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against

them.”

Mk. 6:12 They went out and preached that people should repent.

Mk. 6:13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people

with oil and healed them.

Mk. 6:14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become

well known. Some were saying, [Some early manuscripts He

was saying] “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead,

and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Mk. 6:15 Others said, “He is Elijah.” And still others claimed, “He is a

prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.”

Mk. 6:16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, the man I

beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

103

Mk. 6:17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested,

and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because

of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.

Mk. 6:18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you

to have your brother’s wife.”

Mk. 6:19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill

him. But she was not able to,

Mk. 6:20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him

to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he

was greatly puzzled; [Some early manuscripts he did many

things] yet he liked to listen to him.

Mk. 6:21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave

a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and

the leading men of Galilee.

Mk. 6:22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she

pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl,

“Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

Mk. 6:23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will

give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Mk. 6:24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

Mk. 6:25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I

want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist

on a platter.”

Mk. 6:26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and

his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.

Mk. 6:27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring

John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,

Mk. 6:28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the

girl, and she gave it to her mother.

Mk. 6:29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body

and laid it in a tomb.

104

Mk. 6:30 The apostles gathered round Jesus and reported to him all

they had done and taught.

Mk. 6:31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that

they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them,

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some

rest.”

Mk. 6:32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.

Mk. 6:33 But many who saw them leaving recognised them and ran on

foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

Mk. 6:34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had

compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a

shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

Mk. 6:35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to

him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very

late.

Mk. 6:36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding

countryside and villages and buy themselves something to

eat.”

Mk. 6:37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They

said to him, “That would take eight months of a man’s

wages! [Greek: take two hundred denarii] Are we to go and

spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

Mk. 6:38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”

When they found out, they said, “Five — and two fish.”

Mk. 6:39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in

groups on the green grass.

Mk. 6:40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

Mk. 6:41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to

heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave

them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided

the two fish among them all.

Mk. 6:42 They all ate and were satisfied,

105

Mk. 6:43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken

pieces of bread and fish.

Mk. 6:44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Mk. 6:45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go

on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

Mk. 6:46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

Mk. 6:47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake,

and he was alone on land.

Mk. 6:48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind

was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he

went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass

by them,

Mk. 6:49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he

was a ghost. They cried out,

Mk. 6:50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he

spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be

afraid.”

Mk. 6:51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died

down. They were completely amazed,

Mk. 6:52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts

were hardened.

Mk. 6:53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and

anchored there.

Mk. 6:54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognised Jesus.

Mk. 6:55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick

on mats to wherever they heard he was.

Mk. 6:56 And wherever he went — into villages, towns or countryside

— they placed the sick in the market-places. They begged

him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who

touched him were healed.
