Mark.6.30

Jesus said, "Come off by yourselves; let's take a break and get a little rest." For there was constant coming and going. They didn't even have time to eat.

Mark.6.30

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.

Mark.6.30

Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

Mark.6.30

The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and what they had taught.

Mark.6.31

So they got in the boat and went off to a remote place by themselves.

Mark.6.31

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

Mark.6.31

And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

Mark.6.31

Then Jesus said, "Let's get away from the crowds for a while and rest." There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat.

Mark.6.32

Someone saw them going and the word got around. From the surrounding towns people went out on foot, running, and got there ahead of them.

Mark.6.32

So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.

Mark.6.32

So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

Mark.6.32

They left by boat for a quieter spot.

Mark.6.33

When Jesus arrived, he saw this huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke--like sheep with no shepherd they were. He went right to work teaching them.

Mark.6.33

But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

Mark.6.33

But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.

Mark.6.33

But many people saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and met them as they landed.

Mark.6.34

When his disciples thought this had gone on long enough--it was now quite late in the day--they interrupted: "We are a long way out in the country, and it's very late.

Mark.6.34

When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

Mark.6.34

And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

Mark.6.34

A vast crowd was there as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he taught them many things.

Mark.6.35

Pronounce a benediction and send these folks off so they can get some supper."

Mark.6.35

By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late.

Mark.6.35

When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

Mark.6.35

Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, "This is a desolate place, and it is getting late.

Mark.6.36

Jesus said, "You do it. Fix supper for them." They replied, "Are you serious? You want us to go spend a fortune on food for their supper?"

Mark.6.36

Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

Mark.6.36

Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat."

Mark.6.36

Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy themselves some food."

Mark.6.37

But he was quite serious. "How many loaves of bread do you have? Take an inventory." That didn't take long. "Five," they said, "plus two fish."

Mark.6.37

But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"

Mark.6.37

But He answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

Mark.6.37

But Jesus said, "You feed them.With what?" they asked. "It would take a small fortune to buy food for all this crowd!"

Mark.6.38

Jesus got them all to sit down in groups of fifty or a hundred--they looked like a patchwork quilt of wildflowers spread out on the green grass!

Mark.6.38

"How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish."

Mark.6.38

But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

Mark.6.38

"How much food do you have?" he asked. "Go and find out." They came back and reported, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish."

Mark.6.39

He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples in turn gave it to the people. He did the same with the fish.

Mark.6.39

Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.

Mark.6.39

Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

Mark.6.39

Then Jesus told the crowd to sit down in groups on the green grass.

Mark.6.40

They all ate their fill.

Mark.6.40

So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

Mark.6.40

So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.

Mark.6.40

So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred.

Mark.6.41

The disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers.

Mark.6.41

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Mark.6.41

And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

Mark.6.41

Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people.

Mark.6.42

More than five thousand were at the supper.

Mark.6.42

They all ate and were satisfied,

Mark.6.42

So they all ate and were filled.

Mark.6.42

They all ate as much as they wanted,

Mark.6.43

As soon as the meal was finished, Jesus insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead across to Bethsaida while he dismissed the congregation.

Mark.6.43

and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

Mark.6.43

And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

Mark.6.43

and they picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.

Mark.6.44

After sending them off, he climbed a mountain to pray.

Mark.6.44

The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Mark.6.44

Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

Mark.6.44

Five thousand men had eaten from those five loaves!

Mark.6.45

Late at night, the boat was far out at sea; Jesus was still by himself on land.

Mark.6.45

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

Mark.6.45

Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

Mark.6.45

Immediately after this, Jesus made his disciples get back into the boat and head out across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home.

Mark.6.46

He could see his men struggling with the oars, the wind having come up against them. At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. He intended to go right by them.

Mark.6.46

After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

Mark.6.46

And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

Mark.6.46

Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray.

Mark.6.47

But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and screamed, scared out of their wits.

Mark.6.47

When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.

Mark.6.47

Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

Mark.6.47

During the night, the disciples were in their boat out in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land.

Mark.6.48

Jesus was quick to comfort them: "Courage! It's me. Don't be afraid."

Mark.6.48

He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,

Mark.6.48

Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

Mark.6.48

He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o'clock in the morning he came to them, walking on the water. He started to go past them,

Mark.6.49

As soon as he climbed into the boat, the wind died down. They were stunned, shaking their heads, wondering what was going on.

Mark.6.49

but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,

Mark.6.49

And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

Mark.6.49

but when they saw him walking on the water, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost.

Mark.6.50

They didn't understand what he had done at the supper. None of this had yet penetrated their hearts.

Mark.6.50

because they all saw him and were terrified.

Mark.6.50

for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

Mark.6.50

They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. "It's all right," he said. "I am here! Don't be afraid."

Mark.6.51

They beached the boat at Gennesaret and tied up at the landing.

Mark.6.51

Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,

Mark.6.51

Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

Mark.6.51

Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were astonished at what they saw.

Mark.6.52

As soon as they got out of the boat, word got around fast.

Mark.6.52

for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

Mark.6.52

For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

Mark.6.52

They still didn't understand the significance of the miracle of the multiplied loaves, for their hearts were hard and they did not believe.

Mark.6.53

People ran this way and that, bringing their sick on stretchers to where they heard he was.

Mark.6.53

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.

Mark.6.53

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there.

Mark.6.53

When they arrived at Gennesaret on the other side of the lake, they anchored the boat

Mark.6.54

Wherever he went, village or town or country crossroads, they brought their sick to the marketplace and begged him to let them touch the edge of his coat--that's all. And whoever touched him became well.

Mark.6.54

As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus.

Mark.6.54

And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

Mark.6.54

and climbed out. The people standing there recognized him at once,

Mark.6.55

They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.

Mark.6.55

and they ran throughout the whole area and began carrying sick people to him on mats.

Mark.6.56

And wherever he went--into villages, towns or countryside--they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

Mark.6.56

Wherever he went--in villages and cities and out on the farms--they laid the sick in the market plazas and streets. The sick begged him to let them at least touch the fringe of his robe, and all who touched it were healed.
