Markus 6 | English Standard Version

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.* 10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.

The Death of John the Baptist

14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’* name had become known. Some* said, “John the Baptist* has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” 17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly. 21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias’s daughter came in 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 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 And she came in immediately 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.” 26 And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s* head. He went and beheaded him in the prison 28 and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. 35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. 36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii* worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

Jesus Walks on the Water

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night* he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.

الكتاب المقدس

نبي بلا كرامة

1 وَغَادَرَ يَسُوعُ ذلِكَ الْمَكَانَ وَعَادَ إِلَى بَلْدَتِهِ، وَتَلامِيذُهُ يَتْبَعُونَهُ. 2 وَلَمَّا حَلَّ السَّبْتُ، أَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ، فَدُهِشَ كَثِيرُونَ حِينَ سَمِعُوهُ، وَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ هَذَا؟ وَمَا هذِهِ الْحِكْمَةُ الْمَوْهُوبَةُ لَهُ، وَهذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتُ الْجَارِيَةُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ؟ 3 أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ النَّجَّارَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ، وَأَخَا يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَيَهُوذَا وَسِمْعَانَ؟ أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ عِنْدَنَا هُنَا؟» هكَذَا كَانُوا يَشُكُّونَ فِيهِ. 4 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا يَكُونُ النَّبِيُّ بِلا كَرَامَةٍ إِلّا فِي بَلْدَتِهِ، وَبَيْنَ أَقْرِبَائِهِ، وَفِي بَيْتِهِ!» 5 وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ هُنَاكَ أَيَّةَ مُعْجِزَةٍ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمَسَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَدَداً قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْمَرْضَى فَشَفَاهُمْ. 6 وَتَعَجَّبَ مِنْ عَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ. ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَطُوفُ بِالْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ.

يسوع يرسل التلاميذ الاثني عشر

7 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذاً، وَأَخَذَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَةً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ، 8 وَأَوْصَاهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ شَيْئاً إِلّا عَصاً، لَا خُبْزاً وَلا زَاداً وَلا مَالاً ضِمْنَ أَحْزِمَتِهِمْ، 9 بَلْ يَنْتَعِلُوا حِذَاءً وَيَلْبَسُوا رِدَاءً وَاحِداً. 10 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيْنَمَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتاً، فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِ إِلَى أَنْ تَرْحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. 11 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمْ فِي مَكَانٍ مَا، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا التُّرَابَ عَنْ أَقْدَامِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ». 12 فَانْطَلَقُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ دَاعِينَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ، 13 وَطَرَدُوا شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَدَهَنُوا كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى بِزَيْتٍ، وَشَفَوْهُمْ.

قتل يوحنا المعمدان

14 وَسَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ هِيرُودُسُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ، لأَنَّ اسْمَهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَارَ مَشْهُوراً، إِذْ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «هَذَا يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ وَقَدْ قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلِذلِكَ تُجْرَى عَلَى يَدِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتُ!» 15 وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا إِيلِيَّا» وَغَيْرُهُمْ قَالُوا: «هَذَا نَبِيٌّ كَبَاقِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ!» 16 وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ قَالَ «مَا هُوَ إِلّا يُوحَنَّا الَّذِي قَطَعْتُ أَنَا رَأْسَهُ، وَقَدْ قَامَ!» 17 فَإِنَّ هِيرُودُسَ هَذَا كَانَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ وَقَبَضَ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا وَقَيَّدَهُ فِي السِّجْنِ. وَذلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هِيرُودِيَّا الَّتِي تَزَوَّجَهَا هِيِرُودُسُ وَهِيَ زَوْجَةُ أَخِيهِ فِيلِبُّسَ. 18 فَإِنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «لَيْسَ حَلالاً لَكَ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بِزَوْجَةِ أَخِيكَ!» 19 فَكَانَتْ هِيرُودِيَّا نَاقِمَةً عَلَى يُوحَنَّا، وَتَتَمَنَّى أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ. 20 فَقَدْ كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ يَرْهَبُ يُوحَنَّا لِعِلْمِهِ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ بَارٌّ وَقِدِّيسٌ، وَكَانَ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى سَلامَتِهِ. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَضَايَقُ كَثِيراً مِنْ كَلامِهِ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيْهِ. 21 ثُمَّ سَنَحَتِ الْفُرْصَةُ عِنْدَمَا أَقَامَ هِيرُودُسُ بِمُنَاسَبَةِ ذِكْرَى مَوْلِدِهِ وَلِيمَةً لِعُظَمَائِهِ وَقَادَةِ الأُلُوفِ وَأَعْيَانِ مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ. 22 فَقَدْ دَخَلَتِ ابْنَةُ هِيرُودِيَّا وَرَقَصَتْ، فَسَرَّتْ هِيرُودُسَ وَالْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِلصَّبِيَّةِ: «اطْلُبِي مِنِّي مَا تُرِيدِينَ، فَأُعْطِيَكِ إِيَّاهُ!» 23 وَأَقْسَمَ لَهَا قَائِلاً: «لأُعْطِيَنَّكِ مَهْمَا طَلَبْتِ مِنِّي، وَلَوْ نِصْفَ مَمْلَكَتِي!» 24 فَخَرَجَتْ وَسَأَلَتْ أُمَّهَا: «مَاذَا أَطْلُبُ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ!» 25 فَعَادَتْ فِي الْحَالِ إِلَى الدَّاخِلِ وَطَلَبَتْ مِنَ الْمَلِكِ قَائِلَةً: «أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي حَالاً رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ!» 26 فَحَزِنَ الْمَلِكُ جِدّاً. وَلكِنَّهُ لأَجْلِ مَا أَقْسَمَ بِهِ وَلأَجْلِ الْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ، لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُخْلِفَ وَعْدَهُ لَهَا. 27 وَفِي الْحَالِ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ سَيَّافاً وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِرَأْسِ يُوحَنَّا. فَذَهَبَ السَّيَّافُ وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَ يُوحَنَّا فِي السِّجْنِ، 28 ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِالرَّأْسِ عَلَى طَبَقٍ وَقَدَّمَهُ إِلَى الصَّبِيَّةِ فَحَمَلَتْهُ إِلَى أُمِّهَا. 29 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا بِذلِكَ، جَاءُوا وَرَفَعُوا جُثْمَانَهُ، وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي قَبْرٍ.

يسوع يطعم خمسة آلاف

30 وَاجْتَمَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ، وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ: بِمَا عَمِلُوهُ وَمَا عَلَّمُوهُ. 31 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعَالَوْا أَنْتُمْ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ خَالٍ، وَاسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلاً». فَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَادِمُونَ وَالذَّاهِبُونَ كَثِيرِينَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَدَعُوا لَهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلأَكْلِ. 32 فَذَهَبَ التَّلامِيذُ فِي الْقَارِبِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مُقْفِرٍ مُنْفَرِدِينَ. 33 وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ رَأَوْهُمْ مُنْطَلِقِينَ، فَعَرَفُوا وَجْهَتَهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَرَاكَضُونَ مَعاً إِلَى هُنَاكَ سَيْراً عَلَى الأَقْدَامِ، خَارِجِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ، فَسَبَقُوهُمْ. 34 فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ، رَأَى الْجَمْعَ الْكَثِيرَ وَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَغَنَمٍ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا. فَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً. 35 وَلَمَّا مَضَى جُزْءٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النَّهَارِ، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، وَقَالُوا: «الْمَكَانُ مُقْفِرٌ، وَالنَّهَارُ كَادَ يَنْقَضِي. 36 فَاصْرِفِ الْجَمْعَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْقُرَى وَالْمَزَارِعِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ وَيَشْتَرُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ». 37 فَرَدَّ قَائِلاً: «أَعْطُوهُمْ أَنْتُمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا!» فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَلْ نَذْهَبُ وَنَشْتَرِي بِمِئَتَيْ دِينَارٍ خُبْزاً وَنُعْطِيهِمْ لِيَأْكُلُوا؟» 38 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «كَمْ رَغِيفاً عِنْدَكُمْ؟ اذْهَبُوا وَانْظُرُوا». فَلَمَّا تَحَقَّقُوا، قَالُوا: «خَمْسَةٌ، وَسَمَكَتَانِ!» 39 فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُجْلِسُوا الْجَمْعَ جَمَاعَاتٍ جَمَاعَاتٍ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ الأَخْضَرِ. 40 فَجَلَسُوا فِي حَلَقَاتٍ تَتَأَلَّفُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا مِنْ مِئَةٍ أَوْ خَمْسِينَ. 41 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الأَرْغِفَةَ الْخَمْسَةَ وَالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ، وَرَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَبَارَكَ، وَكَسَّرَ الأَرْغِفَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تَلامِيذَهُ لِيُقَدِّمُوا لِلْجَمْعِ وَالسَّمَكَتَانِ قَسَّمَهُمَا لِلْجَمِيعِ. 42 فَأَكَلُوا جَمِيعاً وَشَبِعُوا. 43 ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مَمْلُوءَةً مِنْ كِسَرِ الْخُبْزِ وَبَقَايَا السَّمَكِ. 44 وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ الْخُبْزِ، فَكَانُوا خَمْسَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.

يسوع يمشي على الماء

45 وَفِي الْحَالِ أَلْزَمَ تَلامِيذَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبُوا الْقَارِبَ وَيَسْبِقُوهُ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، حَتَّى يَصْرِفَ الْجَمْعَ. 46 وَبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَهُمْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَ. 47 وَلَمَّا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ، كَانَ الْقَارِبُ فِي وَسَطِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، وَيَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ عَلَى الْبَرِّ. 48 وَإِذْ رَآهُمْ يَتَعَذَّبُونَ فِي التَّجْذِيفِ، لأَنَّ الرِّيحَ كَانَتْ مُعَاكِسَةً لَهُمْ، جَاءَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَاشِياً عَلَى مَاءِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، نَحْوَ الرُّبْعِ الأَخِيرِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَادَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَهُمْ. 49 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْهُ مَاشِياً عَلَى الْمَاءِ، ظَنُّوهُ شَبَحاً فَصَرَخُوا. 50 فَقَدْ رَأَوْهُ كُلُّهُمْ وَذُعِرُوا. إِلّا أَنَّهُ كَلَّمَهُمْ فِي الْحَالِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَشَجَّعُوا، أَنَا هُوَ، لَا تَخَافُوا!» 51 وَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقَارِبِ فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ. فَدُهِشُوا دَهْشَةً فَائِقَةً، وَتَعَجَّبُوا جِدّاً، 52 لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا بِمُعْجِزَةِ الأَرْغِفَةِ، فَقَدْ كَانَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَاسِيَةً. 53 وَلَمَّا عَبَرُوا إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ جَنِّيسَارَتَ، وَأَرْسَوْا الْقَارِبَ. 54 وَحَالَمَا نَزَلُوا مِنَ الْقَارِبِ، عَرَفَهُ النَّاسُ، 55 فَطَافُوا فِي أَنْحَاءِ تِلْكَ الْبِلادِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَحْمِلُونَ مَنْ كَانُوا مَرْضَى عَلَى فُرُشٍ إِلَى كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ فِيهِ. 56 وَأَيْنَمَا دَخَلَ، إِلَى الْقُرَى أَوِ الْمُدُنِ أَوِ الْمَزَارِعِ، وَضَعُوا الْمَرْضَى فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ، مُتَوَسِّلِينَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمِسُوا وَلَوْ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَلْمِسُهُ يُشْفَى.
