1And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
7¶ And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 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 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 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 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. 30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. 34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: 36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. 37He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 38He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42And they did all eat, and were filled. 43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. 45And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 46And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. 47And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. 49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: 50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 55And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Nnabbi Tabulwa Kitiibwa Okuggyako Ewaabwe
16:1 Mat 2:23Yesu n’ava mu kitundu ekyo n’abayigirizwa be n’addayo mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.6:1 Ekibuga ky’ewaabwe ekyogerwako ky’ekibuga ky’e Nazaaleesi 26:2 a Mak 1:21 b Mat 4:23 c Mat 7:28Olunaku lwa Ssabbiiti bwe lwatuuka n’agenda mu kkuŋŋaaniro okuyigiriza, abantu bangi abaaliwo ne beewuunya nnyo bwe baawulira bw’ayigiriza, ne bawuniikirira ne beebuuza nti, “Bino byonna yabiyigira wa era magezi ga ngeri ki ono ge yaweebwa n’eby’amagero ebyenkanidde wano by’akola?” 36:3 a Mat 12:46 b Mat 11:6; Yk 6:61Ne beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mwana w’omubazzi? Maliyamu si ye nnyina, ne baganda be si be ba Yakobo, ne Yose, ne Yuda ne Simooni? Ne bannyina tetubeera nabo kuno?” Ekyo ne kibatawanya mu mutima.
46:4 Luk 4:24; Yk 4:44Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nnabbi aweebwa ekitiibwa buli wantu okuggyako mu nsi y’ewaabwe ne mu bantu be ne mu maka ge waabwe.” 56:5 Mak 5:23Naye teyakolerayo byamagero bingi okuggyako abalwadde abatonotono be yakwatako n’abawonya. 66:6 Mat 9:35; Mak 1:39; Luk 13:22N’awuniikirira nnyo okulaba nga tebamukkirizza. Awo n’agenda ng’ayigiriza mu byalo ebiriraanyeewo.
Yesu Atuma Ekkumi n’Ababiri
76:7 a Mak 3:13 b Ma 17:6; Luk 10:1 c Mat 10:1Awo Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’abatuma babiri babiri era n’abawa obuyinza okugoba emyoyo emibi ku bantu.
8N’abakuutira obutatwala kantu konna okuggyako omuggo ogw’okutambuza gwokka nti, “Temutwala mmere wadde akagugu newaakubadde ensimbi mu lukoba. 9Mwambale engatto naye temutwala kkanzu yakubiri.” 10N’abagamba nti, “Era buli nnyumba gye munaayingirangamu musulanga omwo okutuusa lwe muliva mu kibuga ekyo. 116:11 Mat 10:14Era bwe mutuukanga mu kifo ne batabaaniriza yadde okubawuliriza, bwe mubanga muvaayo mukunkumuliranga mu kifo omwo enfuufu ey’omu bigere byammwe, okuba akabonero gye bali.”
126:12 Luk 9:6Awo abayigirizwa ne bagenda nga babuulira buli muntu nti, “Mwenenye.” 136:13 Yak 5:14Ne bagoba baddayimooni bangi ku bantu, ne basiiga abalwadde amafuta ne babawonya.
146:14 Mat 3:1Awo Kabaka Kerode n’awulira ettutumu lya Yesu, kubanga yali ayogerwako wonna olw’ebyamagero bye yakolanga. Naye Kerode n’alowooza nti Yokaana Omubatiza y’azuukidde, kubanga abantu baayogeranga nti, “Tewali muntu mulala ayinza kukola byamagero nga bino.”
156:15 a Mal 4:5 b Mat 21:11 c Mat 16:14; Mak 8:28Naye abalala ne balowooza nti, “Eriya.”
N’abalala ne bagamba nti, “Nnabbi ng’omu ku bannabbi ab’edda.”
16Kerode bwe yabiwulira ye n’agamba nti, “Oyo Yokaana, omusajja gwe natemako omutwe, y’azuukide mu bafu.”
176:17 Mat 4:12; 11:2; Luk 3:19, 20Kubanga Kerode yennyini ye yatuma abaserikale be ne bakwata Yokaana Omubatiza ne bamuggalira mu kkomera, olwa Kerudiya muka muganda we Firipo, Kerode gwe yali awasizza. 186:18 Lv 18:16; 20:21Yokaana yagamba Kerode nti, “Si kituufu okutwala Kerudiya muka muganda wo Firipo.” 19Kerudiya n’ayagala okutta Yokaana yeesasuze, naye nga tayinza. 206:20 Mat 11:9; 21:26Kubanga Kerode yatyanga Yokaana Omubatiza, ng’amuwa ekitiibwa ng’omuntu wa Katonda ow’amazima era omutukuvu, era ng’amukuuma. Era Kerode bwe yayogeranga ne Yokaana ng’emmeeme ye tetereera, so nga yali ayagala nnyo okuwuliriza by’amugamba.
216:21 a Es 1:3; 2:18 b Luk 3:1Naye olwali olwo, Kabaka Kerode n’afumba embaga ku lunaku lw’amazaalibwa ge, n’ayita abakungu be n’abakulu b’abaserikale n’abaami bonna abatutumufu mu Ggaliraaya. 22Awo muwala wa Kerudiya yennyini n’ajja n’azina nnyo, n’asanyusa Kerode n’abagenyi be yali atudde nabo ku mbaga.
Awo Kabaka Kerode n’agamba omuwala nti, “Nsaba kyonna ky’oyagala nange nnaakikuwa.” 236:23 Es 5:3, 6; 7:2Era n’ayongera okumulayirira nti, “Kyonna kyonna ky’ononsaba yadde ekitundu ky’obwakabaka bwange nnaakikuwa!”
24Awo omuwala n’afuluma ne yeebuuza ku nnyina. Nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Saba omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza!”
25Omuwala n’addayo mangu eri kabaka n’amusaba nti, “Njagala ompe kaakano, ku ssowaani, omutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatiza!”
26Kino ne kinakuwaza nnyo kabaka, n’anyiikaala nnyo, kyokka olwokubanga yali amaze okulayira n’okweyama ng’abagenyi be bawulira, n’atya okumenya obweyamo bwe. 27Bw’atyo n’ayita omuserikale we, n’amulagira agende aleete omutwe gwa Yokaana. Omuserikale n’agenda mu kkomera, n’atemako Yokaana omutwe, 28n’aguleeteera ku lutiba, n’aguwa omuwala n’omuwala n’agutwalira nnyina. 29Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana bwe baategeera ne bajja ne baggyawo omulambo gwe, ne bagutwala ne baguziika.
Okukomawo kw’Abatume gye baagenda Okubuulira
306:30 a Mat 10:2; Luk 9:10; 17:5; 22:14; 24:10; Bik 1:2, 26 b Luk 9:10Awo abatume ne bakomawo awali Yesu ne bamunnyonnyola byonna bye baakola ne bye baayigiriza. 316:31 Mak 3:20N’abagamba nti, “Mujje tugende mu kifo eteri bantu tuwummuleko.” Kubanga baali babuliddwa n’akaseera ak’okuliiramu ku mmere olw’abantu abangi abajjanga gye bali; bano baabanga baakavaawo ate ng’abalala bajja.
326:32 nny 45; Mak 4:36Bwe batyo ne balinnya mu lyato ne bagenda mu kifo ekiwolerevu eteri bantu.
Yesu Aliisa Abantu Enkumi Ettaano
33Naye abantu bangi abaava mu bibuga bingi ne babalaba nga bagenda ne bategeera gye baali bagenda ne badduka okwetooloola ku lukalu ne babeesookayo. 346:34 Mat 9:36Yesu bwe yava mu lyato n’alaba ekibiina ky’abantu bangi abaali bakuŋŋaanye n’abasaasira nga bali ng’endiga ezitalina musumba. Awo n’atandika okubayigiriza ebintu bingi.
35Awo obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ne bajja awali Yesu ne bamugamba nti, “Ekifo kino kya ddungu ate n’obudde buwungedde. 36Abantu basiibule bagende beegulire emmere mu byalo ne mu bibuga ebiriraanye wano.”
376:37 2Bk 4:42-44Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mubawe ekyokulya.” Ne bamubuuza nti, “Tugende tubagulire emmere nga ya dinaali ebikumi bibiri, tugibawe balye?”
386:38 Mat 15:34; Mak 8:5Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulina emigaati emeka? Mugende mulabe.” Bwe baamala okwetegereza ne bamugamba nti, “Waliwo emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja bibiri.”
39Awo Yesu n’alagira abantu bonna batuule wansi ku muddo mu bibinja. 40Awo ne batuula mu bibinja, eby’abantu ataano ataano, awalala kikumi kikumi. 416:41 Mat 14:19Yesu n’atoola emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri n’ayimusa amaaso ge eri eggulu ne yeebaza Katonda. N’amenyaamenya emigaati n’ebyennyanja ebibiri, n’abiwa abayigirizwa be ne bagabula abantu bonna ne babuna. 42Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta. 43Ne bakuŋŋaanya obukunkumuka bw’emigaati n’obw’ebyennyanja ebisero kkumi na bibiri. 44Abasajja abaalya emigaati baali enkumi ttaano.
Yesu Atambulira ku Mazzi
456:45 a nny 32 b Mat 11:21Amangwago Yesu n’alagira abayigirizwa be basaabale mu lyato bawunguke bagende emitala w’ennyanja e Besusayida abasange eyo, ng’amaze okusiibula ebibiina by’abantu. 466:46 Luk 3:21Bwe yamala okubasiibula n’alinnya ku lusozi okusaba.
47Awo obudde bwe bwawungeera, Yesu ng’asigadde yekka ku lukalu, 48n’abalengera nga bategana n’eryato kubanga waaliwo omuyaga mungi n’amayengo amagulumivu ebyabafuluma mu maaso gye baali balaga. Awo obudde bwali bunaatera okukya nga ku ssaawa mwenda ez’ekiro, n’ajja gye bali ng’atambulira ku mazzi, n’aba ng’ayagala okubayitako. 496:49 Luk 24:37Naye bwe baamulaba ng’atambulira ku nnyanja ne baleekaana nnyo, bonna, nga batidde, kubanga baalowooza nti muzimu, 506:50 Mat 14:27kubanga bonna baamulaba ne batya.
Naye n’ayanguwa okwogera nabo, n’abagamba nti, “Mugume omwoyo. Ye Nze, temutya.” 516:51 a nny 32 b Mak 4:39Awo n’alinnya mu lyato, omuyaga ne gulekeraawo okukunta! Abayigirizwa be ne bawuniikirira nnyo. 526:52 Mak 8:17-21Tebategeera kyamagero eky’emigaati kubanga emitima gyabwe gyali mikakanyavu.
Yesu Awonya Abalwadde e Genesaleeti
536:53 Yk 6:24, 25Awo eryato lyabwe bwe lyagoba ku lubalama lw’ennyanja Genesaleeti, 54ne bavaamu. Abantu bwe balaba Yesu, amangwago ne bamutegeererawo. 55Ne babuna mu bitundu ebyali biriraanyeewo nga bamuleetera abalwadde nga basituliddwa ku butanda. 566:56 Mat 9:20Wonna wonna gye yagendanga, mu byalo, mu bibuga, mu butale ne ku nguudo ne baleeta abalwadde ne bamwegayirira waakiri bakwateko bukwasi ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye. Era bonna abaakikwatako ne bawona.
