1耶穌離開那裡，來到自己的家鄉；門徒也跟從他。Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.
2到了安息日，他在會堂裡教訓人。眾人聽見，就甚希奇，說：「這人從哪裡有這些事呢？所賜給他的是甚麼智慧？他手所做的是何等的呢？When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
3這不是那嗎？不是馬利亞的兒子的長兄嗎？他妹妹們不也是在我們這裡嗎？」他們就他（厭棄他：原文是因他跌倒）。Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.
4耶穌對他們說：「大凡先知，除了本地、親屬、本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
5耶穌就在那裡不得行甚麼異能，不過按手在幾個病人身上，治好他們。So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
6他也詫異他們不信，就往周圍鄉村教訓人去了。And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
7耶穌叫了十二個門徒來，差遣他們兩個兩個地出去，也賜給他們權柄，制伏污鬼；Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8並且囑咐他們：「行路的時候不要帶食物和口袋，裡也不要帶錢，除了柺杖以外，甚麼都不要帶；He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
9只要穿鞋，也不要穿兩件」；and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
10又對他們說：「你們無論到何處，進了人的家，就住在那裡，直到離開那地方。And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
11何處的人不接待你們，不聽你們，你們離開那裡的時候，就把腳上的塵土下去，對他們作見證。」If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
12門徒就出去傳道，叫人悔改，So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
13又趕出許多的鬼，了許多病人，治好他們。They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
14耶穌的名聲傳揚出來。聽見了，就說：「施洗的約翰從死裡復活了，所以這些異能由他裡面發出來。」Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15但別人說：「是以利亞。」又有人說：「是先知，正像先知中的一位。」Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16希律聽見卻說：「是我所斬的約翰，他復活了。」But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
17先是希律為他兄弟腓力的妻子的緣故，差人去拿住約翰，鎖在監裡，因為希律已經娶了那婦人。For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
18約翰曾對希律說：「你娶你兄弟的妻子是不合理的。」For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
19於是希羅底懷恨他，想要殺他，只是不能；So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
20因為希律知道約翰是義人，是聖人，所以敬畏他，保護他，聽他講論，就多照著行（有古卷：游移不定），並且樂意聽他。because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
21有一天，恰巧是希律的生日，希律擺設筵席，請了大臣和，並加利利作首領的。On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，使希律和同席的人都歡喜。王就對女子說：「你向我求甚麼，我必給你。」When the daughter of Herodias came 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又對她起誓說：「隨你向我求甚麼，就是我國的一半，我也必給你。」And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
24她就出去對她母親說：「我可以求甚麼呢？」她母親說：「施洗約翰的頭。」Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25她就急忙進去見王，求他說：「我願王立時把施洗約翰的頭放在盤子裡給我。」At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
26王就甚憂愁；但因他所起的誓，又因同席的人，就不肯，The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27隨即差一個，吩咐拿約翰的頭來。護衛兵就去，在監裡斬了約翰，So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
28把頭放在盤子裡，拿來給女子，女子就給她母親。The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
29約翰的門徒聽見了，就來把他的屍首領去，葬在墳墓裡。When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30聚集到耶穌那裡，將一切所做的事、所傳的道全告訴他。Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
31他就說：「你們來，同我到曠野地方去歇一歇。」這是因為來往的人多，他們連吃飯也沒有。And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32他們就坐船，暗暗地往曠野地方去。So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
33眾人看見他們去，有許多認識他們的，就從各城步行，一同跑到那裡，比他們先趕到了。But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
34耶穌出來，見有許多的人，就憐憫他們，因為他們如同羊沒有牧人一般，於是開口教訓他們許多道理。When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35天已經晚了，門徒進前來，說：「這是野地，天已經晚了，By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
36請叫眾人散開，他們好往四面鄉村裡去，自己買甚麼吃。」Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37耶穌回答說：「你們給他們吃吧。」門徒說：「我們可以去買的餅給他們吃嗎？」But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
38耶穌說：「你們有多少餅，可以去看看。」他們知道了，就說：「五個餅，兩條魚。」“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39耶穌吩咐他們，叫眾人地坐在青草地上。Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
40眾人就地坐下，有一百一排的，有五十一排的。So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41耶穌拿著這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天祝福，，遞給門徒，擺在眾人面前，也把那兩條魚分給眾人。Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
42他們都吃，並且吃飽了。They all ate and were satisfied,
43門徒就把碎餅碎魚收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44吃餅的男人共有五千。And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
45耶穌隨即催門徒上船，先渡到那邊去，等他叫眾人散開。Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
46他既了他們，就往山上去禱告。After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
47到了晚上，船在海中，耶穌獨自在岸上；When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
48看見門徒因風不順，甚苦。夜裡約有，就在海面上走，往他們那裡去，意思要。He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
49但門徒看見他在海面上走，以為是，就喊叫起來；but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
50因為他們都看見了他，且甚驚慌。耶穌連忙對他們說：「你們放心！，不要怕！」for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51於是到他們那裡，上了船，風就住了；他們心裡十分驚奇。Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
52這是因為他們不明白那分餅的事，心裡還是。for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
53既渡過去，來到地方，就靠了岸，When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54一下船，眾人認得是耶穌，As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
55就跑遍那一帶地方，聽見他在何處，便將有病的人用褥子抬到那裡。and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
56凡耶穌所到的地方，或村中，或城裡，或鄉間，他們都將病人放在街市上，求耶穌只容他們摸他的；凡摸著的人就都好了。And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
