Evangelium secundum Marcum, 6

1. Et egressus est inde et venit in patriam suam, et sequuntur il lum discipuli sui.

1. He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him.

2. Et facto sabbato, coepit in synagoga docere; et multi audientes admirabantur dicentes: “Unde huic haec, et quae est sapientia, quae data est illi, et virtutes tales, quae per manus eius efficiuntur?

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 all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

3. Nonne iste est faber, filius Mariae et frater Iacobi et Iosetis et Iudae et Simonis? Et nonne sorores eius hic nobiscum sunt?”. Et scandalizabantur in illo.

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. Et dicebat eis Iesus: “Non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua et in cognatione sua et in domo sua”.

4. And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

5. Et non poterat ibi virtutem ullam facere, nisi paucos infirmos impositis manibus curavit;

5. And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them.

6. et mirabatur propter incredulitatem eorum. Et circumibat castella in circuitu docens.

6. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

7. Et convocat Duodecim et coepit eos mittere binos et dabat illis potestatem in spiritus immundos;

7. And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

8. et praecepit eis, ne quid tollerent in via nisi virgam tantum: non panem, non peram neque in zona aes,

8. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;

9. sed ut calcearentur sandaliis et ne induerentur duabus tunicis.

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

10. Et dicebat eis: “Quocumque introieritis in domum, illic manete, donec exeatis inde.

10. And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.

11. Et quicumque locus non receperit vos nec audierint vos, exeuntes inde excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris in testimonium illis”.

11. And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

12. Et exeuntes praedicaverunt, ut paenitentiam agerent;

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

13. et daemonia multa eiciebant et ungebant oleo multos aegrotos et sanabant.

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

14. Et audivit Herodes rex; manifestum enim factum est nomen eius. Et dicebant: “Ioannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis, et propterea inoperantur virtutes in illo”.

14. King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

15. Alii autem dicebant: “Elias est”. Alii vero dicebant: “Propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis”.

15. But others said, "It is Eli'jah." And others said, "It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

16. Quo audito, Herodes aiebat: “Quem ego decollavi Ioannem, hic resurrexit!”.

16. But when Herod heard of it he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."

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

17. For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

18. Dicebat enim Ioannes Herodi: “Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui”.

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

19. Herodias autem insidiabatur illi et volebat occidere eum nec poterat:

19. And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

20. Herodes enim metuebat Ioannem, sciens eum virum iustum et sanctum, et custodiebat eum, et, audito eo, multum haesitabat et libenter eum audiebat.

20. for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

21. Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, quo Herodes natali suo cenam fecit principibus suis et tribunis et primis Galilaeae,

21. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee.

22. cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis et saltasset, placuit Herodi simulque recumbentibus. Rex ait puellae: “Pete a me, quod vis, et dabo tibi”.

22. For when Hero'di-as' 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 grant it."

23. Et iuravit illi multum: “Quidquid petieris a me, dabo tibi, usque ad dimidium regni mei”.

23. And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

24. Quae cum exisset, dixit matri suae: “Quid petam?”. At illa dixit: “Caput Ioannis Baptistae”.

24. And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

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

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. Et contristatus rex, propter iusiurandum et propter recumbentes noluit eam decipere;

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. et statim misso spiculatore rex praecepit afferri caput eius. Et abiens decollavit eum in carcere

27. And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

28. et attulit caput eius in disco; et dedit illud puellae, et puella dedit illud matri suae.

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

29. Quo audito, discipuli eius venerunt et tulerunt corpus eius et posuerunt illud in monumento.

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

30. Et convenientes apostoli ad Iesum renuntiaverunt illi omnia, quae egerant et docuerant.

30. The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

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

31. And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

32. Et abierunt in navi in desertum locum seorsum.

32. And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

33. Et viderunt eos abeuntes et cognoverunt multi; et pedestre de omnibus civitatibus concurrerunt illuc et praevenerunt eos.

33. Now many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them.

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

34. As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

35. Et cum iam hora multa facta esset, accesserunt discipuli eius dicentes: “Desertus est locus hic, et hora iam est multa;

35. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late;

36. dimitte illos, ut euntes in villas et vicos in circuitu emant sibi, quod manducent”.

36. send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat."

37. Respondens autem ait illis: “Date illis vos manducare”. Et dicunt ei: “Euntes emamus denariis ducentis panes et dabimus eis manducare?”.

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. Et dicit eis: “Quot panes habetis? Ite, videte”. Et cum cognovissent, dicunt: “Quinque et duos pisces”.

38. And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39. Et praecepit illis, ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fenum.

39. Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass.

40. Et discubuerunt secundum areas per centenos et per quinquagenos.

40. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41. Et acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, intuens in caelum benedixit et fregit panes et dabat discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante eos; et duos pisces divisit omnibus.

41. And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, 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. Et manducaverunt omnes et saturati sunt;

42. And they all ate and were satisfied.

43. et sustulerunt fragmenta duodecim cophinos plenos, et de piscibus.

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

44. Et erant, qui manducaverunt panes, quinque milia virorum.

44. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45. Et statim coegit discipulos suos ascendere navem, ut praecederent trans fretum ad Bethsaidam, dum ipse dimitteret populum.

45. Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

46. Et cum dimisisset eos, abiit in montem orare.

46. And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

47. Et cum sero factum esset, erat navis in medio mari, et ipse solus in terra.

47. And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48. Et videns eos laborantes in remigando, erat enim ventus contrarius eis, circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans super mare et volebat praeterire eos.

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. At illi, ut viderunt eum ambulantem super mare, putaverunt phantasma esse et exclamaverunt;

49. but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

50. omnes enim eum viderunt et conturbati sunt. Statim autem locutus est cum eis et dicit illis: “Confidite, ego sum; nolite timere!”.

50. for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

51. Et ascendit ad illos in navem, et cessavit ventus. Et valde nimis intra se stupebant;

51. And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

52. non enim intellexerant de panibus, sed erat cor illorum obcaecatum.

52. for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53. Et cum transfretassent in terram, pervenerunt Gennesaret et applicuerunt.

53. And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

54. Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum

54. And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

55. et percurrentes universam regionem illam coeperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse.

55. and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was.

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

56. And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.
