Familiarity breeds contempt and unbelief in the people ofNazareth. 

1. And He proceeds from there, and comes unto His native town, and His disciples follows Him.

2. And on a Sabbath day, it happens that, He starts to teach in the synagogue; and very many people who heard Him were astonished, saying, from where are these things, and where is this wisdom given to this Man, even this kind of miraculous power, happening through His hands?

3. Is this not the artificer/carpenter? The son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses (Joseph) and Judas and Simon? Even, is His sister not close to us, and they stumble into apostasy in Him.

4. And Jesus tells them, that Prophet is not without honor, except in his father's land, and by His relatives, and by His households.

5 And He was not able to do, not even one mighty-deed, there. Except by laying hands on a few sick-folks, to minister healing to them.

6. And he wondered because of their unfaithfulness. And He walks round and teach all round-about the village.

11. And which ever place, that do not possibly accept you, or do not even listen to you, depart from there, shake off the heap of dust, down-under your feet, unto a testimony against them - [+surely I tell you, Sodom or Gomorrah will be more endurable in judgment day, than those towns+] .

12. and they proceeds forth, preaching, at least, (for them) to repent (think differently/reconsider).

13 and they cast out many demons, and anoint the sick with olive oil even to minister healing.

14. And king Herod heard; no doubt the Name happens to be shining, and he said, John who baptized has waken from the dead, and because of that, the miraculous-power is active in Him

15. And others say, He is Elijah; others also say, He is a Prophet, like one of the prophets.

16. So, Herod heard, and said, John, whom I beheaded, oh, the same is risen!

17. For, Herod himself, had sent, seized John, and bound him in prison, because of Herodias (women of Herod family), the wife of Philip, his brother, that he married.

24. And she proceeded forth, to tell her mother, what to ask? Howbeit, she  said, the head of John, the baptizer.

25. And, she immediately entered with haste towards the king and asked, saying, I desire at least, that you give me the head of John the baptizer upon a plate instantly.

26. And the king becomes very sorrowful. By reason of the oath and those sitting at table, he did not choose to reject it.

27. And, the king immediately order and sent out, the military scout/spy to bring forth his head. And they went off, to behead him in the prison.

37. So, He answers and tells them, you, give them (something) to eat. And they tell Him, shall we go away and buy two hundreds denarii (ten asses) of loaves of bread, and give them to eat?

38. However, He tells them, go and know how many loaves you have? And, they see and say, five (loaves), and two fishes.

39. He orders them all to recline, company by company, upon greenish grass.

40. They settle down, like hundreds and like fifties, lawns by lawns

41. And He receives the five loaves and two fishes, look up into heaven and speaks well/blesses (eulogio), break the loaves, and gives His disciples, at least, to be set (paratithemi) before them, and the two fishes to be shared to all.
