⥃The Rejection at Nazareth ^{[ Matthew 13:53–58 † Luke 4:16–30 ]}

[1] And he went out from thence, and came² into his own country; and his disciples follow him. [2] And when the sabbath day was come, he began³ to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From⁴ whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? [3] Is not this⁵ the carpenter⁶, the son of Mary, the brother of James⁷, and Joses, and of Juda⁸, and Simon⁹? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended¹⁰ at him. [4] But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.¹¹ [5] And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].¹² [6] And he marvelled¹³ because of their unbelief. And he went¹⁴ round about the villages, teaching.

⥃The Ministry of the Twelve ^{[ Matthew 10:5–15 † Luke 9:1–6 ]}

[7] And he called [unto him] the twelve¹⁵, and began to send them forth by two and¹⁶ two; and gave them power¹⁷ over unclean spirits; [8] And commanded them that they should take¹⁸ nothing for [their] journey, save¹⁹ a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money²⁰ in [their] purse: [9] But [be] shod²¹ with sandals²²; and not put on two coats. [10] And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.²³ [11] And whosoever²⁴ shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall²⁵ be more tolerable for Sodom and²⁶ Gomorrha in the day²⁷ of judgment, than for that city. [12] And they went out, and preached²⁸ that men should repent. [13] And they cast²⁹ out many devils, and anointed³⁰ with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].

⥃The Beheading of John ^{[ Matthew 14:1–12 † Luke 9:7–9 ]}

[14] And king Herod³¹ heard [of him]; (for his name³² was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. [15] Others said, That it is Elias³³. And others said, That it is a prophet³⁴, or as one of the prophets. [16] But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is³⁵ John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. [17] For Herod³⁶ himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s³⁷ wife: for he had married her.³⁸ [18] For John had said unto Herod, It is³⁹ not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife. [19] Therefore Herodias⁴⁰ had a quarrel⁴¹ against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: [20] For Herod feared⁴² John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him⁴³; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard⁴⁴ him gladly. [21] And when⁴⁵ a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday⁴⁶ made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of Galilee; [22] And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.⁴⁷ [23] And he⁴⁸ sware unto her, Whatsoever⁴⁹ thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom. [24] And she went forth, and said⁵⁰ unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head⁵¹ of John the Baptist. [25] And she came in straightway with haste⁵² unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger⁵³ the head of John the Baptist. [26] And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.⁵⁴ [27] And immediately the king⁵⁵ sent an executioner⁵⁶, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, [28] And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. [29] And when his disciples heard [of it], they came⁵⁷ and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

⥃The Feeding of the Five Thousand ^{[ Matthew 14:13–21 † Luke 9:10–17 † John 6:1–15 ]}

[30] And the apostles⁵⁸ gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both⁵⁹ what they had done, and what they had taught. [31] And he said unto them, Come⁶⁰ ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. [32] And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.⁶¹ [33] And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.⁶² [34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw⁶³ much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because⁶⁴ they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he⁶⁵ began to teach them many things. [35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:⁶⁶ [36] Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.⁶⁷ [37] He answered and said unto them, Give⁶⁸ ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall⁶⁹ we go and buy two hundred pennyworth⁷⁰ of bread, and give them to eat? [38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.⁷¹ [39] And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.⁷² [40] And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds⁷³, and by fifties. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked⁷⁴ up to heaven, and blessed⁷⁵, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And they did all eat, and were filled.⁷⁶ [43] And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.⁷⁷ [44] And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

⥃Jesus Walks on Water ^{[ Matthew 14:22–33 † John 6:16–21 ]}

[45] And straightway⁷⁸ he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida⁷⁹, while he sent away the people. [46] And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.⁸⁰ [47] And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.⁸¹ [48] And he saw⁸² them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth⁸³ watch of the night he cometh⁸⁴ unto them, walking upon the sea, and would⁸⁵ have passed by them. [49] But when they saw⁸⁶ him walking upon the sea, they supposed⁸⁷ it had been a spirit, and cried out: [50] For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I⁸⁸; be not afraid. [51] And he went up unto them into the ship; and the⁸⁹ wind ceased: and they⁹⁰ were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. [52] For they⁹¹ considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their⁹² heart was hardened.

⥃Jesus Heals at Gennesaret ^{[ Matthew 14:34–36 ]}

[53] And when they had passed over, they came into the land⁹³ of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. [54] And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew⁹⁴ him, [55] And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.⁹⁵ [56] And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid⁹⁶ the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch⁹⁷ if it were but the border⁹⁸ of his garment: and as many as touched him⁹⁹ were made whole.
