When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things? ” they said. “What is this wisdom that has been given to him, and how are these miracles performed by his hands?
“Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us? ” So they were offended by him.
Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.”
He was not able to do a miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff — no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts,
“If any place does not welcome you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”[fn]
King Herod heard about it, because Jesus’s name had become well known. Some[fn] said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
But others said, “He’s Elijah.” Still others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets from long ago.”
For Herod himself had given orders to arrest John and to chain him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her.
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing he was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him he would be very perplexed,[fn] and yet he liked to listen to him.
An opportune time came on his birthday, when Herod gave a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the leading men of Galilee.
When Herodias’s own daughter[fn] came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
He promised her with an oath: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for? ”
“John the Baptist’s head,” she said.
At once she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter immediately.”
Although the king was deeply distressed, because of his oaths and the guests[fn] he did not want to refuse her.
The king immediately sent for an executioner and commanded him to bring John’s head. So he went and beheaded him in prison,
brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother.
When John’s disciples heard about it, they came and removed his corpse and placed it in a tomb.
He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
but many saw them leaving and recognized them, and they ran on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.[fn]
When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.
When it grew late, his disciples approached him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is already late.
“Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”
“You give them something to eat,” he responded.
They said to him, “Should we go and buy two hundred denarii[fn] worth of bread and give them something to eat? ”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke with them and said, “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
They hurried throughout that region and began to carry the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
Wherever he went, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch just the end of his robe. And everyone who touched it was healed.
