OrthJBC - Mark - 6

6:1  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came out from there and comes into his shtetl and his talmidim follow him.

6:2  And Shabbos having come, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to say shiurim in the shul, and many, listening, were amazed, saying, "From where [did] this one get lernen, and what [is] the chochmah that has been given to this one? And what gevurot are being done by his hands?

6:3  Is not this one the Naggar (Carpenter), Ben-Miryam? The brother of Ya'akov, Yosef, Yehuda and Shimon? And, are not his achayot here with us?" And they were taking offense at Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

6:4  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, "A navi is not without his kavod, except in his own shtetl and among his own mishpochah and in his own bais."

6:5  And he was not able there to do many nissim, except on a few cholim he laid (his) hands and administered refu'ah to them. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TALMIDIM ARE EMPOWERED FOR ADMINISTERING REFU'AH (MT 10:1-42; MK 6:6-13; LK 9:1-6)

6:6  And he wondered on account of their lack of emunah. And he was going around the shtetlach in a circuit, saying shiurim.

6:7  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach summons the Shneym Asar, and he began to send them out two by two, and he was giving to them samchut [over] the ruchot hatume'ot (unclean spirits). [Devarim 17:6]

6:8  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave mitzot to them that they should take nothing on [the] derech except a mere walking stick -- not lechem, not a beggar's sack, nor a money belt;

6:9  but instead, to wear sandals, and not to take an extra kaftan.

6:10  And he was saying to them, "Wherever you enter into a bais, stay there until you leave that area.

6:11  And whatever place does not give you the kabbalat panim, and does not listen to you, then, as you are leaving there, let it be NI'ER CHATZNO, shake off the dust of your feet, for an edut to them.

6:12  And having gone out, they preached that bnei Adam should teshuva.

6:13  And many shedim they were casting out, and they were anointing with shemen (oil) many cholim, and they were administering refu'ah to them. HEROD'S PECHADIM (TERRORS) (MT 14:1-12; MK 6:14-29; LK 9:7-9)

6:14  And Herod the king heard of it, for the name of Yehoshua had become famous, and some were saying, "Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva has been made to stand up alive from [the] mesim, and for this reason the nissim (miracles) are at work in him."

6:15  But others were saying, "It is Eliyahu." And still others were saying, "He is a navi, like one of the nevi'im of old." [Malachi 4:5]

6:16  But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "Yochanan whom I beheaded has stood up alive from the mesim!"

6:17  For Herod himself had sent and had Yochanan arrested and bound in the beis hasohar, on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother, Philippos, for he had married her.

6:18  But Yochanan was saying to Herod, "It is not mutar (permissible) according to the Torah for you to have your brother's wife." [Vayikra 18:16, 20:21]

6:19  And Herodias bore a grudge against Yochanan and desired to kill him. But she could not.

6:20  For Herod feared Yochanan, knowing him [to be] a tzaddik and kadosh, and Herod was protecting Yochanan. And when Herod heard Yochanan, he was greatly disturbed, and [yet] gladly Herod was listening to Yochanan.

6:21  And, an opportune day having come, when Herod, on his birthday, gave a seudah for the court of his nobles, and the military commanders, and those of chashivut (prominence) of the Galil, [Esther 1:3, 2:18]

6:22  And when his daughter entered and danced, she pleased Herod and the ones reclining at the seudah with him. And the king said to the the girl, "Ask me whatever you wish and I will give [it] to you."

6:23  And he made an shevu'ah (oath) to her solemnly, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my Malchut. [Esther 5:3,6; 7:2]

6:24  And having gone out, she said to her mother, "What should I ask [for]?" And her mother said, "The rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva."

6:25  And having entered, ofen ort (immediately), with haste before the king, she made a request, saying, "You may give to me upon a platter the rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva."

6:26  And having become very sad, the king, on account of his shevu'ah and on account of the ones reclining at the seudah [with him], was unwilling to refuse her.

6:27  And, ofen ort (immediately), the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring the rosh Yochanan. And having left, the executioner beheaded Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva in the beit hasohar.

6:28  And he brought the rosh Yochanan upon a platter and gave it to the young girl, and the young girl gave it to her mother.

6:29  And, having heard this, Yochanan's talmidim came and carried away his geviyah and placed it in a kever. REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TISH IN THE MIDBAR AND THE "MANNA" FROM SHOMAYIM SERVED AT HIS FARBRENGEN (INSPIRATIONAL GATHERING) (MT 14:13-21; MK 6:30-44; LK9:10-17; JO 6:1-13)

6:30  And the Shluchim gathered together with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and reported to him everything which they did and which they had taught.

6:31  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, "Come away a while, you yourselves, for a yechidus in a quiet place for a Shabbaton." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time for okhel.

6:32  And they departed in the sirah (boat) to a secluded place for a yechidus.

6:33  And the people, recognizing them, saw them departing, and from all the shtetlach they ran there and arrived ahead of them.

6:34  And having gotten out of the sirah (boat), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a large multitude and he had rachamanut on them, for they were KATSON ASHER AIN LAHEM RO'EH ("like sheep without a shepherd"), and Rebbe Malech HaMoshiach began to teach them many things. (Bamidbar 27:17; Melachim Alef 22:17; Divrey Hayamim Bais 18:16; Yechezkel 34:8)

6:35  And when it was already a late hour, his talmidim came up to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and were saying, "This place is desolate and already [it is] late.

6:36  Send them away, in order that, having departed to the surrounding farms and shtetlach, they may buy for themselves what okhel they may eat."

6:37  But in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "You yourselves give them [something] to eat." And they say to him, "Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii for lechem and give to them to eat?" [Melachim Bais 4:42-44]

6:38  And Rebbe, Melech Hamoshiach says to them, "How much lechem do you have? Go [and] see." And knowing, the talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say, "Chamesh, and dagim, shenayim."

6:39  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach commanded them to recline at tish, as it were, everyone group by group, on the green grass.

6:40  And they reclined, group by group, in hundreds and in fifties.

6:41  And, having taken the chamesh loaves and the shnei hadagim and looking up to Shomayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said a berakhah, and having offered the betzi'at halechem, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was giving to his talmidim in order that they might set them before the people. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach divided the shnei hadagim among them all.

6:42  And everyone ate, and they were satisfied,

6:43  And they picked up shirayim, shneym asar baskets full, and from the dagim.

6:44  And those who had eaten the loaves numbered chamesh elafim. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH THE BAAL MOFET (MIRACLE WORKER), WALKING AL PNEI HAMAYIM (MT 14:22-36; MK 6:45-56; JO 6:14-21)

6:45  And ofen ort (immediately) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach compelled his talmidim to embark into the sirah (boat) and to go before [him] to the other side to Beit-Tzaidah, while he dismisses the multitude.

6:46  And having said a "Shalom" farewell to them, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach departed to the mountain to daven.

6:47  And erev having come, the sirah (boat) was in [the] middle of the lake, and Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was alone on shore.

6:48  And having seen them laboring at the oars, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of halailah, Moshiach comes to them, walking on the lake. And he wanted to go by them.

6:49  But having seen him on the lake, they thought that it is a ruach refa'im. And they cried out;

6:50  for everyone saw him. And ofen ort (immediately) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke with them, and they were filled with pachad (terror). Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, "Chazak! Ani hu. Do not be afraid."

6:51  And he got into the sirah (boat) with them. And the wind died down. And in themselves they were exceedingly amazed.

6:52  For they did not understand concerning the loaves [6:43], but their levavot had been hardened.

6:53  And having crossed over onto the land, they came to Gennesaret and anchored [there].

6:54  And when they disembark from the sirah (boat), the people ofen ort (immediately) recognized Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

6:55  And the people rushed everywhere in that whole region, and they began to carry about on their mats the cholim to where they heard he was.

6:56  And wherever Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was entering into the shtetlach or into towns or into the countryside, thy laid the cholim in the marketplaces, entreating him that they might just touch the tzitzit of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And as many as touched it were receiving refu'ah. [Bamidbar 15:38-41; Devarim 22:12]
