Mark 6:23-38
-
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.
-
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.
-
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, Come 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.
-
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:
-
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, Give ye them to eat. 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, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
