Jesus Heals a Girl Age 12 and a Woman Sick 12 Years

After crossing the Sea of Galilee by boat Jesus heals a woman sick 12 years and a girl age 12. The two stories are pointing into history 12 times from Noah's flood when two women are healed. This is the period in history of the Assyrian deportation. Several parables follow explaining that period in history.

42 Mark 5:21-42 21And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. 22And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. 24And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogues house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? 36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 37And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. (KJV)

And they were astonished with a great astonishment. (KJV/NC)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea. 22And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, 23and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. 24And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him. 25And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. 29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague. 30And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments? 31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 35While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further? 36But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. 37And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly. 39And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. 40And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was. 41And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise. 42And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement. (ASV)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21¶ When Jesus crossed in the boat to the other side, large crowds again gathered around him while he was by the sea. 22And there came one of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23And he besought him earnestly and said to him, My daughter is very seriously ill; come and lay your hand on her, and she will be healed, and live. 24So Jesus went with him; and a large multitude followed him, and they pressed about him. 25And there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26Who had suffered much at the hands of many doctors, and had spent everything she had and was not helped at all, but rather became worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came through the dense crowd from behind him, and touched his cloak; 28For she said, If I can only touch his cloak, I shall live. 29And immediately the hemorrhage was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30Jesus instantly knew that some power had gone out of him; so he turned around to the people and said, Who touched my garments? 31His disciples said to him, You see the people pressing against you, and yet you say, Who touched me? 32And he was looking round to see who had done this. 33But the woman, frightened and trembling, because she knew what had happened to her, came and fell before him and told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, My daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace and be healed of your disease.

35¶ While he was still talking, some men came from the house of the leader of the synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; why do you trouble the Teacher? 36Jesus heard the word which they spoke, and he said to the leader of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. 37And he did not permit any man to go with him, except Simon Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38And they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, and Jesus saw them in a tumult, weeping and wailing. 39So he entered and said to them, Why are you excited and crying? The little girl is not dead, but she is asleep. 40And they laughed at him. But Jesus put them all out, and took the little girl's father and mother and those who were with him, and he entered where the little girl was laid. 41And he took the little girl by her hand, and said to her, Talitha, koomi, Little girl, rise up. 42And immediately the little girl got up and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great amazement. (LAM)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea. 22Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." 24And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well." 29And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" 31And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'" 32And he looked around to see who had done it. 33But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

35While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" 36But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." 37And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping." 40And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." 42And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. (RSV)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." 24So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, `Who touched me?'"

32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

35While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"

36Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."

37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." 40But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). 42Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. (NIV)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23and begged him much, saying, 'My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.'

24He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. 25A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, 26and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, 27having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. 28For she said, 'If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.' 29Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, 'Who touched my clothes?'

31His disciples said to him, 'You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?''

32He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.'

35While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, 'Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?'

36But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, 'Don't be afraid, only believe.' 37He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. 39When he had entered in, he said to them, 'Why do youP make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.'

40They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. 41Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, 'Talitha cumi;' which means, being interpreted, 'Girl, I tell you, get up.' 42Immediately the girl rose up, and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. (WEB)

42 Mark 5:21-42 21When Yeshua had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23and begged him much, saying, 'My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.'

24He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. 25A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, 26and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, 27having heard the things concerning Yeshua, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. 28For she said, 'If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.' 29Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, 'Who touched my clothes?'

31His disciples said to him, 'You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?''

32He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.'

35While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, 'Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Rabbi any more?'

36But Yeshua, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, 'Don't be afraid, only believe.' 37He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, Jacob, and Yochanan the brother of Jacob. 38He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. 39When he had entered in, he said to them, 'Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.'

40They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. 41Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, 'Talitha cumi!' which means, being interpreted, 'Girl, I tell you, get up!' 42Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old.

And they were astonished with great amazement. (BRB)

Background

Mark again references Noah's flood when he records Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee again by boat. This marks the start of another parable that measures time from Noah's flood.

In this particular parable an official from the Synagogue comes to Jesus and begs him to heal his sick daughter. Jesus heads off with the man to see his daughter and along the way has a second encounter with a woman. This woman has been bleeding and knows that if she can touch the hem of Jesus' garment she will be healed. She does so, reaching out from the crowd.

Jesus makes a show of finding the woman and when he finally finds here explains that her faith has made her well.

Once this side project is finished, Jesus continues to the home of the Synagogue ruler. Once there a crowd surrounds the girl who has now died. Jesus dismisses the crowd and gets alone with the girl. He proceeds to raise the girl from the dead and give her back to her family.

About the only linkage between these two stories, besides the insertion of the woman's story inside the girls, is the number of years: 12. In the case of the woman, she has had her condition for 12 years. In the case of the girl, she is 12 years old.

In parables, all counts of things are references to time. In this case the time reference opens up the meaning of this parable. 12 years is not a time measurement that can be used directly. It must be broken down into the raw number of days. The formula for converting years into days is 360 * years + 30 for ever sabbath. In this case 360 * 12 + 30 = 4350.

When prophecies are given over people, the units are actual 24 hour days. This is of course what was happening with these two women. 4350 days. In the case of nations, the prophetic unit is years, not days, so the prophetic interval is years. Of course the story began with Jesus crossing the lake by boat, so the prophetic interval starts at Noah's flood. Noah's flood began in the year 6020 from Adam so the interval is up 4350 years later, or 10370.

10370 AA is the second year in Jeremiah's era, the time when he is announcing to the city of Jerusalem the impending destruction of the Babylonians. The first year of rule of Babylonia over Jerusalem was 10390 AA.

This time in history is after the Assyrian invasion and deportation and start of the period in history when the tribes were "lost."

A careful read of the Assyrian invasion indicates that only the city of Jerusalem survived the Assyrian invasion. This means that the total number of people who lived in ancient Israel after about 10284 AA was limited to the number of people who could safely remain inside the walls of David's ancient city. Estimates for this remnant are in the low tens of thousands, a far cry from the several million that inhabited ancient Israel at David's time.

After the civil war at the death of Solomon, David's ancient kingdom was divided into two parts. These two parts form the basis for the "two women" prophecies in the Old Testament. Jesus is referencing these prophecies by referring to the two halves of the kingdom through the use of two women in this story.

One of the women, the 12 year old girl, is the daughter of a synagogue ruler. She likely represents Jerusalem, the city where the temple was located. She also represents the religious system based there. That system ridiculed Jesus when he was carrying out his public ministry which is why the crowd at the girl's house also ridicules Jesus when he arrives to heal the girl.

The other woman, the one with the issue of blood, represents the other kingdom, the northern kingdom. She receives power from Jesus because the northern kingdom represents political power. This woman touches the hem of Jesus' garment, likely following David's cutting off of Saul's hem in the cave.

In the case of the woman with blood, Jesus makes a spectical of finding the woman in the crowd. His actions are quite specifically directed at the lost nature of the northern kingdom of ancient Israel. That kingdom cannot be found except by searching for the ones who have received power from Jesus. This includes political power, like David gained when he cut Saul's hem, but also Spiritual power.

A Jesus based measure of 12 years

When Jesus was 12 years old, he too was involved in a prophetic, parable, story. In that case he went up to Jerusalem at a feast and then remained behind in Jerusalem while his family returned home. Jesus' life is itself following the original chronology of the Bible and this "age 12 ascension" is seen in the historical chronology as Enoch's ascension. This happened in year 4270 AA, and it can be used as a more accurate measure of the number of days in 12 years.

In the case of the girl and the woman their sicknesses are in their 12th year. Recorded simply as age 12, or 12 years. These allow for a shorter rendering as we learn from Jesus' age 12 visit to Jerusalem.

Noah's flood, in 6020 AA, plus 4270 years is 10290 AA. This is 6 years after the sun went back during the reign of Judean king Hezekiah. This is essentially at the time of the Assyrian invasion. All of the events of the Assyrian invasion of the ancient Israelite kingdoms happened within 20 years of this date, consistent with the likely 20 years of preparation for Noah's flood from the millennium break at 6001 AA and the actual start of the flood in early 6020 AA.

(BRB)

Without getting into a boat, Jesus proceeds from healing the 12 year old girl to his home town. He makes the important point that in his home town his is both without honor and unable to do miracles, except for heal a few sick people. Without a trip in a boat, this parable sits timed as a natural part of the last parable. In other words he is explaining more about what happened back in ancient Israel and Judah.

Ancient Isreal and Judah were no longer living in their home towns even in Jesus day. Jerusalem and the remnant that lived there make up the "home town" of ancient Israel. They were scattered across the globe because of the Assyrian invasion. He is explaining that he will do miracles in many places, but not in his hometown.

When the crown exclaims that this is Jesus, the carpenter's son, along with the rest of his family, they are remembering him as he was. As he was in his "development years" before the power of God was moving mightily in his life. The natural parallel to this is the home town religious system that has always been devoid of supernatural power. Returning to the old ways, the way of the Mosaic Law, leaves all people unable to experience the power of Jesus' miracles in their lives.

12They went out and preached that people should repent. 13They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

42 Mark 6:7-14 7Then he called his 12, and began to send them 2 by 2; and he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out. 8And he commanded them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no copper money in their purses; 9But to wear sandals, and not to wear 2 shirts. 10And he said to them, Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that place. 11And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you leave that place, shake off the sand under your feet as a testimony against them.

14And Herod the king heard about Jesus, for his name was known to him; and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; this is why miracles are performed by him. (BRB)

Without crossing by boat, Jesus proceeds to send out the 12 disciples. The are told not to take anything with them, no extra clothing or money. Jesus warns that those who do not receive the disciples will face judgement like Sodom and Gomorrah at the end of the age. They go, and are able themselves to anoint with oil, cast out demons and heal the sick.

Because this does not transition back to a boat story, it too is based on the early dating. The story is the time after the Assyrian captivity when the 12 tribes have been sent out into the world. The remnant of a few thousand who remained in Jerusalem after the Assyrian invasion do not themselves constitute even 1 tribe. Though the northerners are referred to as the Ten, the entire set is referred to as the 12.

The 12 disciples are linked in a 1 to 1 fashion back to the original 12 tribes of ancient Israel. They will eventually judge the 12 tribes, likely with 1 disciple seated as judge over 1 tribe. The gates of the New Jerusalem, where everyone is headed eventually are also named with the names of the 12 disciples. This suggests everyone, even modern believers must eventually pass under the inspection of one of the disciples.

Jesus sends out the 12 disciples at this point in the story because he is prophetically referring to the departure of the 12 tribes under the Assyrian deportation. Once away from the home town, the subject of his previous parable, the disciples will be able to perform miracles. This is essentially why the ancient 12 tribes were deported. God wanted them saved and performing miracles, and could not do that under the old system.

42 Mark 6:14-29 14And king 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. 15Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 16But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife: for he had married her. 18For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers wife. 19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 22And 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. 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 25And 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. 26And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oaths sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. 27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

And others said, That it is a prophet, or as 1 of the prophets. 16But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 17For 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. 18For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 22And 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. 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the 1/2 of my kingdom. 24And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 25And 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. 26And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. 27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

42 Mark 6:14-29 14And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 15But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets. 16But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen. 17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her. 18For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 19And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not; 20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly. 21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee; 22and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer. 25And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 26And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her. 27And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29And when his disciples heard thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

42 Mark 6:14-29 14¶ And Herod the king heard about Jesus, for his name was known to him; and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; this is why miracles are performed by him. 15Others said, He is Elijah. And yet others, He is a prophet, just like one of the prophets. 16But when Herod heard it, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded; it is he who has risen from the dead. 17For this same Herod had sent out and arrested John and cast him into prison, because of Herodias, wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. 18For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to marry your brother's wife. 19But Herodias was bitter towards him, and wanted to kill him; but she could not. 20For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man, and he guarded him; and he heard that he was doing a great many things, and he heard him gladly. 21Then came a state occasion, when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his officials and captains and the leading men of Galilee. 22And the daughter of Herodias entered and danced, and she pleased Herod and the guests who were with him; and the king said to the little girl, Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you. 23And he swore to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give you, as much as half of my kingdom. 24She went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask him? She said to her, The head of John the Baptist. 25And immediately she entered hesitantly to the king, and said to him, I do wish in this very hour that you might give me on a tray the head of John the Baptist. 26And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of the oaths and because of the guests, he did not wish to refuse her. 27So the king immediately sent the executioner and commanded to bring the head of John. And he went and beheaded John in the prison, 28And brought the head on a tray and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. 29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his body and buried it in a grave.

42 Mark 6:14-29 14King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him." 15But others said, "It is Eli'jah." And others said, "It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old." 16But when Herod heard of it he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised." 17For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her. 18For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. 21But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee. 22For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it." 23And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom." 24And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer." 25And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter." 26And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, 28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. 29When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.(RSV)

42 Mark 6:14-29 14King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

15Others said, "He is Elijah." And still others claimed, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago."

16But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"

17For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. 18For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

21Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you." 23And he promised her with an oath, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom."

24She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptist," she answered.

25At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

26The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 29On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.(NIV)

42 Mark 6:14-29 14King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, 'John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.' 15But others said, 'It is Elijah.' Others said, 'It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.' 16But Herod, when he heard this, said, 'This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.' 17For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her. 18For John said to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.' 19Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't, 20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

21Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. 22When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, 'Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.' 23He swore to her, 'Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.'

24She went out, and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask?'

She said, 'The head of John the Baptizer.'

25She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, 'I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.'

26The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn't wish to refuse her. 27Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

29When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.(WEB)

42 Mark 6:14-29 14King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, 'Yochanan the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.' 15But others said, 'He is Elijah.' Others said, 'He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.' 16But Herod, when he heard this, said, 'This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.' 17For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her. 18For Yochanan said to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.' 19Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't, 20for Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

24She went out, and said
