Vangelo secondo Marco 6

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 - Partito di là, venne nella sua patria e i suoi discepoli lo seguirono.	1 And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2 Giunto il sabato, cominciò a insegnare nella sinagoga e molti degli ascoltatori restavan sbigottiti di tanta dottrina, e si domandavano: «Donde sa costui queste cose? E che sapienza è questa che gli è data e che sorta di portenti son compiuti dalle sue mani?	2 And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”
3 Non è questi il falegname, il figlio di Maria, il fratello di Giacomo, di Giuseppe, di Giuda e di Simone? E le sue sorelle non sono qui tra noi?». E si scandalizzavan di lui.	3 “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.
4 Ma Gesù diceva loro: «Un profeta non è spregiato che nella sua patria, nella sua casa e tra i suoi parenti».	4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”
5 E qui non potè fare alcun miracolo, salvo che guarire alcuni pochi infermi, imponendo loro le mani.	5 And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
6 E si meravigliava della loro incredulità. Gesù andava intorno per i villaggi circostanti, insegnando.	6 And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.
7 Allora chiamò i Dodici e cominciò a mandarli a due a due dando loro potestà sopra gli spiriti immondi.	7 And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 E comandò loro di non prender nulla per il viaggio, tranne il solo bastone; non bisaccia, non pane, non denaro nella cintura;	8 And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
9 ma calzati i sandali, non portassero due tuniche.	9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
10 E diceva loro: «In qualunque case entrerete, trattenetevi, in essa, finchè non partiate di là;	10 And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11 e se in qualche luogo non vi ricevono e non vi ascoltano, uscite di là e scotetevi dai piedi la polvere in testimonianza contro di loro».	11 And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
12 Essi adunque partiti, predicavano perchè si facesse penitenza;	12 And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
13 scacciavano molti demoni e ungevano con olio molti infermi e li guarivano.	13 And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed them.
14 Il re Erode udì parlare di Gesù poichè si era sparsa la sua fama e diceva: «Giovanni Battista è risorto dai morti e perciò per mezzo di lui si operano meraviglie».	14 And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”
15 Altri invece dicevano: «È Elia», e altri : «È un profeta simile a uno degli antichi profeti».	15 But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”
16 Erode però, udite queste cose disse: «Questi è quel Giovanni che io ho fatto decapitare e che è risorto».	16 When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
17 Erode infatti aveva fatto arrestare Giovanni e l'aveva imprigionato per causa d'Erodiade, moglie di Filippo suo fratello, ch'egli s'era presa in moglie	17 For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
18 e per cui Giovanni diceva a Erode: «Non ti è lecito tenere la moglie di tuo fratello!».	18 For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Erodiade gli tendeva insidie e lo voleva ucciso, ma non poteva,	19 Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
20 perchè Erode aveva paura di Giovanni, sapendolo uomo giusto e santo e lo teneva da conto, risparmiandolo alla morte; faceva molte cose dopo consigliatosi con lui, e volentieri lo ascoltava.	20 For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.
21 Ma si presentò l'occasione buona. Nel suo giorno natalizio, Erode fece un convito ai grandi della corte, ai capitani e ai primi della Galilea.	21 And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.
22 Entrata la figlia della stessa Erodiade e avendo danzato ed essendo piaciuta a Erode e ai convitati, il re disse alla fanciulla: «Chiedimi quello che vuoi e io te lo darò».	22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 E le giurò: «quel che mi chiederai, te lo darò; fosse pure la metà del mio regno».	23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”
24 Ella, uscita, domandò a sua madre: «Cosa chiederò?». E quella rispose: «La testa di Giovanni Battista».	24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 Rientrata subito frettolosamente dal re, la fanciulla gli espresse il suo desiderio, dicendo: «Voglio che tu mi dia subito, su di un bacile, la testa di Giovanni Battista».	25 And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 Il re fu contristato fortemente: ma in vista del giuramento fatto e dei commensali, non volle disgustarla	26 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.
27 e spedì un carnefice con l'ordine di portargli la testa di Giovanni, e quegli lo decapitò in prigione,	27 So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
28 e ne portò la testa in un bacile e la dette alla fanciulla e questa alla madre.	28 And he beheaded him in prison, and he brought his head on a platter. And he gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it her mother.
29 I discepoli di Giovanni, saputo ciò, andarono a prenderne il corpo e lo deposero in un sepolcro.	29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.
30 Tornati gli Apostoli da Gesù, gli riferirono tutto ciò che avevano fatto e insegnato,	30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
31 ed egli disse loro: «Venitevene in disparte, in un luogo solitario e riposatevi un poco». Giacchè, c'era un andare e venire che essi non avevano neppure tempo di mangiare.	31 And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
32 S'imbarcarono quindi e se ne andarono in un luogo solitario e deserto.	32 And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
33 Ora molti li videro partire e lo notarono e da tutte le città accorsero là a piedi e li prevennero.	33 And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
34 Quando Gesù scese dalla barca e vide gran folla, ne ebbe compassione, perchè erano come pecore senza pastore, e si mise a insegnar loro molte cose.	34 And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 Siccome si era fatto tardi, i discepoli gli s'accostaron per dirgli: «Questo luogo è deserto e l'ora è tarda;	35 And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
36 congedali dunque affinchè andando per le campagne e i villaggi vicini si comperino qualcosa da mangiare».	36 Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”
37 Ma egli rispose: «Date voi da mangiare a loro!». Ed essi a lui: «Ce ne andremo a comperare per duecento danari di pane e daremo da mangiare».	37 And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”
38 Ed egli domandò a loro: «Quanti pani avete? Andate a vedere». Dopo essersene accertati, risposero: «Cinque e due pesci!».	38 And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Allora, egli ordinò di far sedere tutte le persone a gruppetti sull'erba verde.	39 And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 E si accomodarono a gruppi di cento e di cinquanta.	40 And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Presi allora i cinque pani e i due pesci, e alzati gli occhi al cielo, benedisse e spezzò i pani e li diede ai discepoli perchè li distribuissero alla gente; divise poi fra tutti i due pesci.	41 And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.
42 Tutti mangiarono e si saziarono,	42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
43 e furono raccolti dodici panieri pieni di avanzi di pane e di pesci.	43 And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
44 Ora quelli che avevano mangiato erano cinquemila uomini.	44 Now those who ate were five thousand men.
45 Subito dopo obbligò i discepoli a montare in barca e precederlo sull'altra riva del lago verso Betsaida, mentre egli congedava il popolo.	45 And without delay he urged his disciples to climb into the boat, so that they might precede him across the sea to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.
46 Dopo averlo fatto, se ne andò sul monte a pregare.	46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 Giunta la sera, la barca era in mezzo al mare ed egli era solo a terra.	47 And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 Vedendo ch'essi s'affannavano a remare, perchè avevano il vento contrario, verso la quarta vigilia della notte andò a loro, camminando sul mare; e voleva oltrepassarli.	48 And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.
49 Ma essi vistolo camminare sul mare, s'immaginarono che fosse un fantasma e si misero a gridare;	49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
50 perchè tutti lo videro e ne furono spaventati. Ma egli rivolse subito loro la parola dicendo: «Fatevi animo, sono io; non abbiate paura!».	50 For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51 E montò in barca con loro, e il vento cessò; e si stupirono più che mai dentro di sè;	51 And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
52 non avendo compreso il miracolo dei pani, per essere il lor cuore indurito.	52 For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
53 Attraversato il lago vennero nel territorio di Genezaret e presero terra.	53 And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.
54 Quando sbarcarono, la gente subito lo riconobbe	54 And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
55 e percorrendo egli tutti i dintorni si cominciò a portare gl'infermi sui loro lettucci, dovunque s'intendeva che fosse.	55 And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
56 E dappertutto dove egli giungeva, nei villaggi, nelle campagne o nelle città posavano i malati sulle piazze e lo pregavano di lasciar toccare almeno il lembo della sua veste; e tutti quelli che lo toccavano erano guariti.	56 And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
