10
And he said unto them,In what place soeveryeenterinto an house,thereabidetillyedepart from that place.
11
Andwhosoever*shallnotreceiveyou,norhearyou, when ye departthence, shake off the dustunderyourfeetfor a testimony against them.Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodomand[b]Gomorrhain the day of judgment,than for thatcity.
12
And they went out, and preachedthat men should repent.
13
And they cast outmanydevils,andanointed with oilmany that were sick,andhealed them.
14
AndkingHerodheard of him; (for hisnamewas spread abroad:) and he said, ThatJohn the Baptist was risenfrom the dead,andthereforemightyworks do shew forth themselvesinhim.
15
Otherssaid, That it isElias.Andotherssaid, That it is a prophet,oras one of the prophets.
16
But when Herodheard thereof, he said, ItisJohn,whom*Ibeheaded: he is risenfrom the dead.
17
ForHerodhimself had sent forth and laid hold upon John,andboundhiminprisonforHerodias'sake,hisbrotherPhilip'swife:for he had marriedher.
18
ForJohn had said unto Herod*, It isnotlawful for thee to havethybrother'swife.
19
ThereforeHerodias had a quarrel[c] against him,andwould have killedhim;but she couldnot:
20
ForHerodfearedJohn,knowing that he was a justmanand an holy,andobservedhim;[d]and when he heardhim, he did many things,andheardhimgladly.
21
And when a convenientday was come, thatHerod on hisbirthdaymade a supper to hislords*, high captains,andchief estates of Galilee;
22
And when the daughter of the saidHerodias came in, anddanced, andpleasedHerodand them that sat with him, the kingsaid unto the damsel,Ask of mewhatsoeverthouwilt, and I will give it thee.
23
And he sware unto her,Whatsoever*thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee,unto the half of mykingdom.
24
And she went forth, and said unto hermother,What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25
And she came instraightwaywithhasteunto the king, and asked, saying, I willthat thou giveme by and byin a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26
And the kingwas exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake,and for their sakes which sat with him, he wouldnotrejecther.
27
Andimmediately the kingsent an executioner, and commanded[e]hishead to be brought: and he went and beheadedhimin the prison,
28
Andbroughthisheadin a charger,andgaveit to the damsel:and the damselgaveit to hermother.
29
And when hisdisciplesheard of it, they cameand took uphiscorpse,andlaiditin a tomb.
30
And the apostles gathered themselves togetheruntoJesus,andtoldhim all things,bothwhat they had done, andwhat they had taught.
31
And he said unto them,Comeyeyourselvesapart*into a desertplace,andrest a while:for there weremanycomingandgoing, and they had noleisure so much as to eat.
32
And they departedinto a desertplace by shipprivately*.
33
And the peoplesawthemdeparting, andmanyknewhim,andranafootthither out ofallcities,andoutwentthem,and came togetheruntohim.
34
AndJesus, when he came out, sawmuchpeople,and was moved with compassiontowardthem,because they wereassheepnothaving a shepherd:and he began to teachthem many things.
35
And when the daywasnow far spent,hisdisciplescame unto him, and said*, This is a desertplace,andnow the time is far passed:
36
Sendthemaway, that they may gointo the country round about,and into the villages, and buythemselvesbread:for they havenothingtoeat.
37
He answeredandsaid unto them,Giveyethem to eat.And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundredpennyworth[f] of bread,andgivethem to eat?
38
Hesaith unto them,How manyloaves have ye? goandsee.And when they knew, they say, Five,andtwofishes.
39
And he commandedthem to makeall sit down by companies*upon the greengrass.
40
And they sat down in ranks*, byhundreds,andbyfifties.
41
And when he had taken the fiveloavesand the twofishes, he looked uptoheaven, and blessed, andbrake the loaves,andgave them to hisdisciplesto set beforethem;and the twofishes divided he among them all.
