Mark

Chapter 6

6:1``And, He {Jesus} went out from there
and comes to His hometown {Nazareth - where He grew up},
and His students/disciples 'follow as students' {akoloutheo} with Him.

6:2``And, when the Sabbath had come,
He {Jesus} began to be teaching in the synagogue.

And the many hearing,
were completely flabbergasted/amazed, saying,
"From where does this one get theses things?
And what wisdom {sophia - bible doctrine metabolized into the soul}
is this which has been given to the fellow?

Even such great exhibitions of powers {dunamis}
take place through the medium of His hands?

6:3``Is absolutely not {ouk} this {Jesus} the carpenter?
The son of Mary and brother of James, Joses/'Joseph Jr.',
Judas/Jude, and Simon?

And absolutely aren't {ouk} His sisters here with us?"

And they saw in Him that of which they disapproved
and which kept them from acknowledging Him.

6:4``And Jesus was saying to them,
"A prophet is absolutely not {ouk} without honor . . .
except in his own country/hometown . . .
and among his own kinfolk/relatives . . .
and in his own house."

6:5`` And, He {Jesus} 'was absolutely {ouk} not able'/
'did not have the power' {dunamai}
to do even one 'work of power' {dunamis} there,
except that He laid His hands on a few sickly ones and healed them.

6:6``And He {Jesus} marveled because of their unbelief.

And, He kept going around the villages
in the encircling country . . . teaching.

6:7``And He {Jesus} calls to Himself {proskaleomai} the Twelve.

And He began to be sending them 'forth on a mission
under His authority'/'as His ambassadors' {apostello}
sending them forth two by two.

And, He kept on giving them authority {exousia}
over the unclean spirits.

6:8-9``And He {Jesus} commanded them
not to be taking even one thing
for the road except only a 'walking stick'/staff . . .
not bread, nor wallet/"traveler's bag",
nor money in their belts . . . 6:9``
but wear sandals and
not to clothe themselves
with two undergarments/tunics {chiton}
  {take only the one you are wearing}.

6:10-11``And He {Jesus} kept on saying to them,
"In whose home you may enter,
'be remaining'/stay there {an order}
until you go out from there. 6:11``
And, whatever place does not welcome you nor hear you,
when you are going on your journey out from there,
shake off the dust that is under your feet . . .
as a testimony against them."

{Note: The phrase about Sodom and Gomorrah is not at this point in the best original manuscripts.}

6:12-13``And, having gone out,
they 'made a proclamation'/preached/heralded {kerusso}
to the effect that they should be repenting/
'be mentally changing their minds
about past sinful behavior' {metanoeo}. 6:13``
And demons, many of them, they were casting
and they were anointing with oil many who were sick
and were healing them.

6:14``And, the king, Herod, heard,
for His {Jesus'} name/reputation became known,
and they were saying that John the Baptizer/Baptist
has been raised out from among those who were dead,
and, because of this,
the powers {dunamis} are energized/operative/'at work' {energeo}
in Him."

6:15``But others of the same category {alla} kept on saying,
"He is Elijah."

Others of the same category {alla} were saying,
"He {Jesus} is a prophet . . .
like one of the prophets {from the past}."

6:16``But Herod, having heard, kept on saying,
"Him . . . whom I beheaded . . . John . . . has been raised."

6:17-18``For this, Herod himself, having commissioned/
'sent on a mission under his authority' {apostello} men,
apprehended John . . .
and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias . . .
his brother Philip's wife . . . 6:18``
for John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful
for you to be having {sexually} the wife of your brother.

6:19-20`` So Herodias nursed a grudge against him {John}
and wanted to kill him.

But she kept on absolutely 'not able {ouk}'/
'not having the power' {dunamai} 6:20``
because Herod 'stood in awe of'/
'was in a constant state of fearing' {phobeo} John . . .
knowing him {John} to be
a man . . . righteous/just {dikaios} and holy {hagios};
and he {Herod} kept him {John} constantly out of harm's way,
and, having heard him {John},
he {Herod} was 'in a continual state of perplexity'/
'thoroughly baffled';
yet he {Herod} was in the habit of hearing him {John} with pleasure.

6:21``And a 'day of opportunity'/strategic day' {eukairos hemera} having come, when Herod gave a banquet on his birthday
for his 'court officials'/'great men',
and his military commanders,
and the 'chief men'/leaders of Galilee.
