disciples followed him.
6:2. And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue:
and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How
came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given
to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands?

own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.
6:5. And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few

there abide till you depart from that place.
6:11. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth
from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.
6:12. And going forth they preached men should do penance:
6:13. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that
were sick, and healed them.
6:14. And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he
said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty
works shew forth themselves in him.
6:15. And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as
one of the prophets.
6:16. Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again
from the dead.
6:17. For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him
prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because
he had married her.
6:18. For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy
brother's wife.
6:19. Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to
death and could not.
6:20. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and
kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him
willingly.
And kept him... That is, from the designs of Herodias; and for fear of
the people, would not put him to death, though she sought it; and
through her daughter she effected her wish.
6:21. And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his
birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the
king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it
thee.
