Literal Emphasis Translation Par ▾ 
1And He went out from there and came into His fatherland (one’s fathers place, one’s native place); and His disciples follow Him. 2And the Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing were astounded, saying, From where to this [man] these things and what is the wisdom having been given to Him, and such miracles (powers) are done through His hands? 3Is this not the carpenter (craftsman/artisan in wood, greek-tekton, latin-faber-smith)? The son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And they took offense (were being stumbled) at Him. 4And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor (value), except in His fatherland (native place, fathers place, hometown) and among his relatives and in his house. 5And He was not able to do there any miracle except a few persisting ill (sickness not departing), having laid hands upon He healed (etherapeusen) them. 6And He marveled because of their unbelief. And He went about the villages around teaching.

7And He calls to Him the twelve, and began to send them away two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8And He commanded them that they should take nothing unto the journey, except only a staff; no bread, no traveler’s bag, no money in their belt; 9But wearing sandals, and do not put on two tunics (undergarments). 10And He said to them, Wherever you enter into a house, remain there until you go out from there. 11And if that place will not receive you, nor hear you, departing from there, shake off the dust which is under your feet unto a testimony to (against) them. {Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable (endurable) for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that there city.- not in vulgate or newer translations- it is in KJV and YLT}. 12And having gone out, they preached so that they should repent. 13And they cast out many demons and anointed many sick (sick with persisting illnesses) with oil and healed them (etherapeuon).

14And king Herod heard of Him; for His name became apparent (same word for manifest). And he said, John the one baptizing is risen from out of the dead and because of this the miracles (miraculous powers) are operative (energized) in Him. 15However others said, He is Elijah; and others said, A prophet, like as one of the prophets. 16However Herod having heard, said, John, whom I beheaded- he is risen!

17For the same Herod having sent, seized John and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. 18For John said to Herod, It is not permitted for you to have the wife of your brother. 19And Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him and was not able: 20For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous (just) and holy man and kept him safe (kept, guarded). And having heard him was greatly perplexed and gladly heard him. 21And having come an opportune day, when Herod, on his birthday, made a banquet (supper) to his great men, and to the chief commanders (commanders of a thousand men), and to the principal men of Galilee. 22And the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and having danced, pleased Herod and those reclining at the table with him. And the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you want and I will give to you. 23And he swore to her, Whatever you might ask me, I will give you up to half of my kingdom. 24And she having gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the one baptizing. 25And having directly entered with speedy diligence (haste, swiftness) to the king, she asked, saying, I want that at once you give to me the head of John the Baptist upon a platter. 26And the king having been made engulfed in sorrow on account of the oaths and those reclining at the table with him would not refuse (annul his word to) her. 27And the king having directly sent for an executioner, he commanded his head to be brought. 28And having gone, he beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head upon a platter and gave it to the girl and the girl gave it to her mother. 29And having heard it, his disciples came and took up his body and laid it in a tomb.

30And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus and they reported to him all things, what they had done and what they had taught. 31And He said to them, Come you by yourselves unto your own solitary place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many and they did not even have opportunity to eat. 32And they went away by a boat into a solitary place by themselves.

33And many saw them going and recognized them and ran together there on foot from all the cities, and went before them, 34And having gone out, He saw a great crowd and was moved with compassion (any visceral affections such as sympathy, etc.) upon them, because they were like as sheep not having a shepherd (latin-pastorem). And He began to teach them many things. 35And the hour already being late (much), His disciples having come to Him, say, The place is desolate, and the hour is already late; 36Dismiss them (Release them away), so that having gone unto the surrounding region and villages, they might buy for themselves something to eat. 37However answering, He said to them, You give to them to eat. And they say to Him, Going, shall we buy two hundred denarii of bread and give to them to eat? 38And He says to them, How many loaves do you have? Go, see. And having known, they say, Five and two fish. 39And He commanded them to make all recline groups by groups upon the green grass. 40And they sat down groups by groups by hundreds and by fifties. 41And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up into heaven, He blessed and broke in pieces the loaves and gave to His disciples so that they might set before them. And the two fish He divided among all. 42And all ate and were satisfied (feed, fattened). 43And they took up twelve hand-baskets full of broken pieces and of the fishes. 44And those having eaten of the loaves were five thousand men.

45And directly He compelled His disciples to enter into the boat and to go before unto the other side to Bethsaida until He should dismiss the crowd. 46And having taken leave of them, He departed into the mountain to pray.

47And evening having come, the boat was in the middle (midst) of the sea, and He alone upon the land. 48And He having seen them straining hard (tormented) in the rowing, for the wind was contrary (opposite) to them. About the fourth watch of the night, He comes to them walking upon the sea and wanted to pass by them. 49And having seen Him walking upon the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost (greek-phantasma) and cried out loudly. 50For all saw Him and were troubled (stirred up). And directly He spoke with them, and says to them, Take courage; It is I (I am He). Fear not. 51And He went up to them into the boat and the wind ceased. And they were very astonished out of a great abundance within themselves, 52For they did not comprehend (synthesize) upon the loaves, but had been hardened in their heart.

53And having crossed through, they came upon the land unto Gennesaret and anchored to shore. 54And on their having come out of the boat, directly having recognized Him, 55They ran throughout that whole region, and they began to carry about those badly (sick) upon mats, where they were hearing that He is. 56And wherever He entered into villages or into cities or into fields, they laid those infirmed in the marketplaces and entreated Him that if only they might touch the fringe of His outer garment; and as many as touched Him were saved (healed).
