Mark Chapter 6: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)

        ¹And thence he went forth, and ╓he came╖ ┌he comes┐ into the homeland of him, and the adherents of him are following him. ²And {upon} a Sabbath having become he began to teach within the sacred assembly.

      And {the ones} many hearing were being astounded saying, “Whence these to this one? And what the wisdom, the one, having been freely given ╓him╖ ┌this one┐; ┬that also┬ ╔and╗ ┌the┐ powers such as these ╓become╖ ┌becoming┐ through the hands of him! ³Is this not the craftsman, the son of ╓a╖ ┌the┐ Mary, ╓moreover╖ ┌and┐ a brother of a James, and of a Joses, and of a Judas, and of a Simon; and are not the sisters of him here towards us?” And they were being stumbling within him.

      ⁴╓Moreover╖ ┌And┐ the Jesus was saying to them, “That a prophet is not dishonored except within the homeland of him and within the ones kindred ┌of him┐ and within the house of him. ⁵And he was not being able to have done not one powers there except he, having placed the hands upon {the ones} few sickly, medically treated; ⁶and he was marveling because of the lack of complete confidence and total trust of them, and he, teaching, was circulating the villages surrounding.

      ⁷And he addresses the ones twelve, and he began to send them authoritatively two {and} two, and he was freely giving them an authority of^‹a› the spirits, the ones impure.

      ⁸And he directed them so that they may lift up nothing into the way except only a staff, not ╓a leather bag^‹b›╖ ┌a loaf of bread┐, nor ╓a loaf of bread╖ ┌a leather bag^‹b›┐, nor a copper into the belt; ⁹but sandals, having had been bound under one’s feet, and you might not clothe two tunics.

      ¹⁰Also he was saying to them, “If where you would enter into a house, stay ^you there until you would go forth hence. ¹¹And ╓as many as╖ ┌which place┐ would not have welcomed you, nor will they hear you; proceeding forth thence expel ^you the dirt, the one beneath the feet of you, into testimony to them. ╓Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable within a day to a Sodom or to a Gomorrah within a judgment than to that, the city.╖” ¹²Also they, having gone forth, were heralding so that they might change the mind and heart.

      ¹³And they were casting forth many inferior divine beings, and they were besmearing with olive-oil {the ones} many sickly, and they were treating medically.

      ¹⁴And the king, a Herod, was hearing for the name of him [Jesus] became prominent^‹c›, and ╓he was saying╖ ┌they were saying┐, “A John, the one purifying, ╓has been awaken╖ ┌was awaken┐ from {the one} dead, and for this reason the powers are operating within him.”

      ¹⁵┌Moreover┐ {the ones} other were saying, “That he is Elijah.”

      Moreover {the ones} other were saying, “That ╓he is╖ a prophet ┬or┬ as one of the prophets.”

      ¹⁶Moreover╒the╕ ╥a╥ Herod, having heard, ╓said╖ ┌was saying┐, “╓That╖ whom I beheaded a John, this one ╓, is he,╖ was awakened ╓from {the one} dead╖. ¹⁷For he, the Herod, having authoritatively sent {the guard}, seized the John, and he bound him within the prison because of a Herodias, the woman of a Philip, his brother, because he married her. ¹⁸For the John was saying to the Herod, “That it was not lawful to you to have the woman of the brother of you.”

      ¹⁹Moreover the Herodias was harboring a grudge against him, and she was desiring to have him killed, and she was not being able; ²⁰for the Herod was being terrified {because of} the John, knowing him a righteous and sacred man; and he was protecting^‹d› him; and he, having heard him, was doing much; and he was pleasantly hearing him.

      ²¹And {upon} a well-timed day having become when a Herod with the birthdays of him ╓was making╖ ┌made┐ a meal with the great men of him, and the commandants, and the ones first of the Galilee, ²²And {upon} the daughter of ╓her╖ ┌him┐, ╓the╖ ┌a┐ Herodias, having entered and having danced ╓and having pleased╖ ┌she pleased┐ the Herod and the ones reclining together at table, the king said to the little girl^‹e›, “Request ^you me for yourself what if you would desire, and I will freely give you.” ²³And he swore to her ┌{the ones} many┐, “╓That╖ what ┌anything┐ if you would request me for yourself, I will freely give you until {the one} half of the dominion of me.”

      ²⁴╓Moreover the one╖ ┌And she┐ having gone forth, said to the mother of her, “What ╓will╖ ┌might┐ I request for myself?”

      Moreover the one said, “The head of a John, ╓the purifier╖ ┌the one purifying┐!”

      ²⁵╓Immediately╖ ┌Straightway┐ have entered with haste towards the king she requested for herself saying, “I desire so that you may freely give me at once the head of a John, the purifier, upon a platter!”

      ²⁶And the king, deeply grieved becoming, because of the oaths and the ones ╓reclining together at table╖ ┌reclining at table┐ he desired not to have broken faith with her; ²⁷and ╓immediately╖ ┌straightway┐ having authoritatively sent the king charged an executioner to have ╓been╖ brought the head of him. ╔┌And┐ ╥Moreover╥ going forth ┌he┐ ╥the one╥ beheaded him within the prison.╗

      ²⁸┬Moreover going forth the one beheaded him within the prison.┬ And he brought the head of him upon a platter and, he freely gave it to the little girl^‹e›, and the little girl^‹e› freely gave it to the mother of her. ²⁹And having heard the adherents of him [John] came, and they lifted up the corpse of him, and they placed it within ┬the┬ ╔a╗ sepulcher.

      ³⁰And the earthly messengers are gathered towards the Jesus, and they reported to him {the ones} all ╓and╖ {the ones} as much as they did, and {the ones} as much as they taught. ³¹And he ╓said╖ ┌says┐ to them, “Come! You!” They {proceed} privately into an uninhabited place, and ╓take ^you rest^‹f›╖ ┌take ^you rest^‹f›┐ a short time for the ones coming and the ones departing were many, and they were not even having opportunity to have eaten. ³²And they went forth privately ╓{within}╖ ┌within┐ the fishing boat into an uninhabited place.

      ³³And ┬the crowds┬ ╔they╗ observed them departing, and many recognized ╓him╖, and they were running together by land there from all the cities, and they went before them, ╓and they met towards him╖. ³⁴And having come forth ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐ observed the large crowd, and he was compassionate upon them because they were as sheep having not a shepherd, and he began to teach them {the ones} many.

      ³⁵And already {upon} a late^‹g› hour^‹h› having become, the adherents of him, having come forward, ╓are saying╖ ┌were saying┐ to him, “That uninhabited is the place, and already {it is}a late^‹g› hour^‹h›, ³⁶Release ^you them so that they, having gone forth into the surrounding countryside^‹i› and villages, might buy themselves ╓loaves of bread for they do not have╖ which they might eat.”

      ³⁷Moreover the one, having replied, said to them, “Give ^you freely them to have eaten!”

      And they say to him, “We, having gone forth, might buy loaves of bread of 200 denarii, and we might freely give them to have eaten.” ³⁸Moreover the one says to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Depart ^you and observe ^you!”

      And they, having known experientially, say, “{The ones} five and two fish.” ³⁹And he charged them to have reclined {the ones} all, groups by groups^‹j› upon the greenish-yellow grass. ⁴⁰And row by row^‹k› they reclined ╓up╖ ┌down┐ {the ones} one hundred and ╓up╖ ┌down┐ {the ones} fifty.

      ⁴¹And he, having taken the five loaves of bread and two fish having gazed into the universe, praised, and he broke apart the five loaves of bread, and he was freely giving {them} to the adherents of him so that they ╓might place beside╖ ┌may place beside┐ them, and he distributed^‹l› the two fish to {the ones} all. ⁴²And {the ones} all ate, and they were satisfied. ⁴³And they lifted up ╓twelve satiated baskets of fragments╖ ┌fragments filling up of twelve baskets┐ and from the two fish. ⁴⁴And the ones having eaten the loaves of bread were five thousand men.

      ⁴⁵And ╓immediately╖ ┌straightway┐ he compelled the adherents of him to have embarked into the fishing boat and to have led before into the one on the other side towards a Bethsaida while he ╓might release╖ ┌releases┐ the crowd. ⁴⁶And he, having bid farewell to them, went forth into the mountain to prayed.

      ⁴⁷And {upon} evening having become the fishing boat was within {the one} middle of the sea, and he alone {was} upon the land. ⁴⁸And ╓he observed them being tortured within the one to row for the wind was opposite to them; and around {the} fourth watch^‹m› of the night he╖ ┌he, having observed them being tortured within the one to row for the wind was opposite to them around {the} fourth watch^‹m› of the night, ┐ comes towards them walking upon the sea, and he was desiring to pass them.

      ⁴⁹Moreover the ones, having observed it walking upon the sea, thought ╓{it} to be╖ ┌that it is┐ a phantom, and they cried out, ⁵⁰for {the ones} all observed it, and they were disturbed, ╓and immediately he╖ ┌moreover straightway the one┐ spoke with them, and he says to them, “Be ^you of good courage! I am! Be ^you terrified not!

      ⁵¹And he ascended towards them into the fishing boat; and the wind abated, and they were amazing very greatly out of {the one} excessive within themselves, and they were marveling. ⁵²For they did not comprehend thoroughly upon the loaves of bread ╓for╖ ┌but┐ the heart of them, having had been hardened, was.

      ⁵³And they, having crossed over, came onto the land, a Gennesaret, and they were brought the fishing boat to anchor. ⁵⁴And {upon} them having gone forth from the fishing boat ╓immediately╖ ┌straightway┐ ╓they, having recognized him,

      ⁵⁵having run around that, the whole countryside,╖ ┌they, having recognized him, ⁵⁵ran around country, and they┐ began to carry around the ones having illness upon pallets, where they were hearing that he is ╓there╖. ⁵⁶And where he would be entering^‹n› into villages, or ┌into┐ cities or ┌into┐ countryside^‹i›, they were placing the ones ailing within the market-places, and they entreating him so that also if they might contact the edge of the outer garment of him, and {the ones} as many as would ╓be contacting╖ ┌contacted┐ him, they were being rescued.
