1Jesus saiu dali e foi para a sua cidade, acompanhado dos seus discípulos.2Quando chegou o sábado, começou a ensinar na sinagoga, e muitos dos que o ouviam ficavam admirados. “De onde lhe vêm estas coisas?”, perguntavam eles. “Que sabedoria é esta que lhe foi dada? E estes milagres que ele faz?3Não é este o carpinteiro, filho de Maria e irmão de Tiago, José, Judas e Simão? Não estão aqui conosco as suas irmãs?” E ficavam escandalizados por causa dele.4Jesus lhes disse: “Só em sua própria terra, entre seus parentes e em sua própria casa, é que um profeta não tem honra”.5E não pôde fazer ali nenhum milagre, exceto impor as mãos sobre alguns doentes e curá-los.
Jesus Envia os Doze
6E ficou admirado com a incredulidade deles.,; Então Jesus passou a percorrer os povoados, ensinando.7Chamando os Doze para junto de si, enviou-os de dois em dois e deu-lhes autoridade sobre os espíritos imundos.8Estas foram as suas instruções: “Não levem nada pelo caminho, a não ser um bordão. Não levem pão, nem saco de viagem, nem dinheiro em seus cintos;9calcem sandálias, mas não levem túnica extra;10sempre que entrarem numa casa, fiquem ali até partirem;11e, se algum povoado não os receber nem os ouvir, sacudam a poeira dos seus pés quando saírem de lá, como testemunho contra eles”.12Eles saíram e pregaram ao povo que se arrependesse.13Expulsavam muitos demônios e ungiam muitos doentes com óleo e os curavam.
João Batista é Decapitado
14O rei Herodes ouviu falar dessas coisas, pois o nome de Jesus havia se tornado bem conhecido. Algumas pessoas estavam dizendo*: “João Batista ressuscitou dos mortos! Por isso estão operando nele poderes milagrosos”.15Outros diziam: “Ele é Elias”. E ainda outros afirmavam: “Ele é um profeta, como um dos antigos profetas”.16Mas, quando Herodes ouviu essas coisas, disse: “João, o homem a quem decapitei, ressuscitou dos mortos!”17Pois o próprio Herodes tinha dado ordens para que prendessem João, o amarrassem e o colocassem na prisão, por causa de Herodias, mulher de Filipe, seu irmão, com a qual se casara.18Porquanto João dizia a Herodes: “Não te é permitido viver com a mulher do teu irmão”.19Assim, Herodias o odiava e queria matá-lo. Mas não podia fazê-lo,20porque Herodes temia João e o protegia, sabendo que ele era um homem justo e santo; e, quando o ouvia, ficava perplexo*. Mesmo assim gostava de ouvi-lo.21Finalmente Herodias teve uma ocasião oportuna. No seu aniversário, Herodes ofereceu um banquete aos seus líderes mais importantes, aos comandantes militares e às principais personalidades da Galileia.22Quando a filha de Herodias entrou e dançou, agradou a Herodes e aos convidados. O rei disse à jovem: “Peça-me qualquer coisa que você quiser, e eu darei”.23E prometeu-lhe sob juramento: “Seja o que for que me pedir, eu darei, até a metade do meu reino”.24Ela saiu e disse à sua mãe: “Que pedirei?” “A cabeça de João Batista”, respondeu ela.25Imediatamente a jovem apressou-se em apresentar-se ao rei com o pedido: “Desejo que me dês agora mesmo a cabeça de João Batista num prato”.26O rei ficou aflito, mas, por causa do seu juramento e dos convidados, não quis negar o pedido à jovem.27Enviou, pois, imediatamente um carrasco com ordens para trazer a cabeça de João. O homem foi, decapitou João na prisão28e trouxe sua cabeça num prato. Ele a entregou à jovem, e esta a deu à sua mãe.29Tendo ouvido isso, os discípulos de João vieram, levaram o seu corpo e o colocaram num túmulo.
A Primeira Multiplicação dos Pães
30Os apóstolos reuniram-se a Jesus e lhe relataram tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado.31Havia muita gente indo e vindo, ao ponto de eles não terem tempo para comer. Jesus lhes disse: “Venham comigo para um lugar deserto e descansem um pouco”.32Então eles se afastaram num barco para um lugar deserto.33Mas muitos dos que os viram retirar-se, tendo-os reconhecido, correram a pé de todas as cidades e chegaram lá antes deles.34Quando Jesus saiu do barco e viu uma grande multidão, teve compaixão deles, porque eram como ovelhas sem pastor. Então começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.35Já era tarde e, por isso, os seus discípulos aproximaram-se dele e disseram: “Este é um lugar deserto, e já é tarde.36Manda embora o povo para que possa ir aos campos e povoados vizinhos comprar algo para comer”.37Ele, porém, respondeu: “Deem-lhes vocês algo para comer”. Eles lhe disseram: “Isto exigiria duzentos denários*! Devemos gastar tanto dinheiro em pão e dar-lhes de comer?”38Perguntou ele: “Quantos pães vocês têm? Verifiquem”. Quando ficaram sabendo, disseram: “Cinco pães e dois peixes”.39Então Jesus ordenou que fizessem todo o povo assentar-se em grupos na grama verde.40Assim, eles se assentaram em grupos de cem e de cinquenta.41Tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, olhando para o céu, deu graças e partiu os pães. Em seguida, entregou-os aos seus discípulos para que os servissem ao povo. E também dividiu os dois peixes entre todos eles.42Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos,43e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe.44Os que comeram foram cinco mil homens.
Jesus Anda sobre as Águas
45Logo em seguida, Jesus insistiu com os discípulos para que entrassem no barco e fossem adiante dele para Betsaida, enquanto ele despedia a multidão.46Tendo-a despedido, subiu a um monte para orar.47Ao anoitecer, o barco estava no meio do mar, e Jesus se achava sozinho em terra.48Ele viu os discípulos remando com dificuldade, porque o vento soprava contra eles. Alta madrugada*, Jesus dirigiu-se a eles, andando sobre o mar; e estava já a ponto de passar por eles.49Quando o viram andando sobre o mar, pensaram que fosse um fantasma. Então gritaram,50pois todos o tinham visto e ficaram aterrorizados. Mas Jesus imediatamente lhes disse: “Coragem! Sou eu! Não tenham medo!”51Então subiu no barco para junto deles, e o vento se acalmou; e eles ficaram atônitos,52pois não tinham entendido o milagre dos pães. O coração deles estava endurecido.53Depois de atravessarem o mar, chegaram a Genesaré e ali amarraram o barco.54Logo que desembarcaram, o povo reconheceu Jesus.55Eles percorriam toda aquela região e levavam os doentes em macas para onde ouviam que ele estava.56E aonde quer que ele fosse, povoados, cidades ou campos, levavam os doentes para as praças. Suplicavam-lhe que pudessem pelo menos tocar na borda do seu manto; e todos os que nele tocavam eram curados.
English Standard Version
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
1He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.2And 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?3Is 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.4And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”5And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
7And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.8He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—9but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.*10And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.11And 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.”12So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.13And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
The Death of John the Baptist
14King 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.”15But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”16But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”17For 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.18For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”19And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,20for 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.21But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.22For 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.”23And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”24And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”25And 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.”26And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.27And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s* head. He went and beheaded him in the prison28and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.29When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
30The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.31And 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.32And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.33Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.34When 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.35And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.36Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”37But 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?”38And 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.”39Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.41And 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.42And they all ate and were satisfied.43And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.44And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Jesus Walks on the Water
45Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.46And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.47And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.48And 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,49but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,50for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”51And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,52for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
53When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.54And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him55and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was.56And 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.
