|[[File:jesusfeedart2.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"[[Feeding the Sheep|Feed my sheep]]!" Before [[Jesus]] was able to provide the people with loaves and fishes in [[Mark 6]]:39 He "[[2004|commanded]]" His [[disciples]] to "make" the people sit down in [[4849|companies upon companies]] in ''divisions'' and "[[4237|ranks]]" of "[[Tens|in fifties and hundreds]]". [[Christ]] also told His [[disciples]] not to be like the ''rulers and princes of the Gentiles'' who provided ''[[benefactors|benefits]] by [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] one over the other''. <Br>
Everyone who got the [[Baptism]] of Christ was "[[put out]]" of the Jewish [[Synagogue of Satan|synagogue]] system which was also composed of ten families through which they provided [[welfare]] with the "[[Corban]]" of the people. <Br>Your ministers should not be rulers but servants because Christ came to serve. Every man should be led by the [[Holy Spirit]]. The [[minister]] is supposed to be serving by ''making'' the people voluntarily organize themselves in [[The Congregation|Companies]] of [[Tens|tens, fifties and hundreds, and thousands]] so that people may ''love one another'' into the practice of [[Pure Religion]].]]

== Prophet without honor ==

[1] And he went out from thence, and came into his own country<Ref name="patrida">{{3968}}</Ref>;<Ref name="owncountry">[[Matthew 13]]:54 "And when he was come into his own country <[[3968]]>(''hometown'' ), he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works (''[[1411|miraculous powers]]'')? 55  Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56  And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
57  And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them,  A prophet is not without honour, save in his own [[3968|country]]<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>, and in his own house. 58  And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."'''</span><Br>[[Luke 4]]:23  And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.'''</span><Br>Matthew 11:6  And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
<Br>[[Isaiah 8]]:14  And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
<Br>[[Isaiah 49]]:7 ¶  Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
<Br>[[Isaiah 53]]:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.</Ref> and his [[disciple|disciples]] follow him.

[2] And when the [[sabbath]] day was come, he began to teach in the [[synagogue]]: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From 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 this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended<Ref name="skandalizo">{{4624}}</Ref> at him.

[4] But Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''A prophet is not without honour, but in his own [[3968|country]], and among his own kin, and in his own house.'''</span>

[5] <span style="color:red">'''And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.'''</span><Ref name="owncountry"></Ref>

[6] And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

== Sent out ==

[7] And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave<Ref name="didomi">{{1325}}</Ref> them power<Ref name="exousia">{{1849}}</Ref>  over unclean spirits;

=== With power not supplies ===

[8] And commanded<Ref name="paraggello">{{3853}}</Ref> them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

[9] But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

[10] And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.'''</span>

===  Shake off the dust ===

[11] <span style="color:red">'''And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear<Ref name="hearsee">{{hearsee}}</Ref> you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for [[Sodom]] and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.'''</span>

[12] And they went out, and preached that men should [[repent]].<Ref name="repentn">{{repentn}}</Ref>

[13] And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.<Ref name="sanhedrinpwr">{{sanhedrinpwr}}</Ref>

== Herod heard ==

[14] And king [[Herod Antipas|Herod]] heard of him; (for his name 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 Elias. And others said, '''That it is a prophet, or as one of the [[prophets]].'''

[16] But when [[Herod Antipas|Herod]] heard thereof, he said, '''It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.'''

=== John arrested ===

[17] For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

[18] For John had said unto Herod, '''It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.'''

[19] Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

[20] For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man<Ref name="aner">{{435}}</Ref> and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

=== The birthday dance===

[21] And when a convenient day was come, that [[Herod Antipas|Herod]] on his birthday 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.

=== The promise ===

[23] And he sware unto her, '''Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.'''

[24] And she went forth, and said unto her mother, '''What shall I ask?''' And she said, '''The head of [[John the Baptist]]'''.

[25] And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, '''I will that thou give me by and by in a charger 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.

=== Beheaded ===
 
[27] And immediately the king sent an executioner, 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 came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

== Return of the apostles ==

[30] And the [[apostles]] gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

[31] And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:'''</span> 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.

=== The people pursued ===

[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.

[34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he 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:'''

=== Give them to eat ===

[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. 

[37] He answered and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Give ye them to eat.'''</span> And they say unto him, '''Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?'''


[38] He saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''How many loaves have ye? go and see.'''</span> And when they knew, they say, '''Five, and two fishes.'''<Ref name="loavfish">{{loavfish}}</Ref>

=== He commanded===

[39]  And he [[commanded]] them to make all sit down<Ref>This is not the normal word for ''sit'' which is  [[2521|kathemai]] or [[2523|kathizo]] but is ''anaklino''.{{347}}</Ref> by companies<Ref>The word ''companies'' is repeated twice in original text. {{4849}} this word ''sumposion'' is derived in part from the word ''[[4095|pino]]'' which "figuratively, to receive into the soul what serves to refresh strengthen, nourish it unto life eternal"</Ref> upon the green grass.

[40]  And they sat down in ranks<Ref>The word ''ranks'' is also repeated twice in original text and is from the word [[4237|prasia]]  which as a Hebrew idiom i.e. they reclined in ranks or divisions, so that several ranks formed, as it were separate plots of groups in groups. </Ref>, by [[Tens|hundreds, and by fifties]].<Ref name="fifty">{{4004}}</Ref>

[41]  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

== And there was more than enough==

[42] And they did all eat, and were filled.

[43] And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments<Ref name="klasma">{{2801}}</Ref>, and of the fishes.

[44] And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men<Ref name="aner">{{435}}</Ref>.<Ref name="loavfish">{{loavfish}}</Ref>

== Into the mountains ==

[45] And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

[46] And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

[47] And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

== Walk on water ==

[48] And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

[49] But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed 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, <span style="color:red">'''Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.'''</span>

[51] And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

[52] For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.<Ref name="poroo">{{4456}}</Ref> 

== The land of Gennesaret ==

[53] And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret<Ref name="Gennesaret">{{1082}}</Ref> , and drew to the shore.

[54] And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew 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.

[56] And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.<br>
