As He (Jesus) landed (by boat) He saw a great throng and He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. Mark 6:34 Lord You had taken Your disciples away in the boat because they could not even eat without the crowds pressing […]

Now many saw them (Jesus and his disciples) going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them. Mark 7:33 Lord the crowds were always around You and Your disciples. After all why wouldn’t they be when so many spectacular things were taking place. There […]

And He (Jesus) said to them, (disciples) “Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves. Mark 6:31, 32 Lord it is so easy for […]

The apostles returned to Jesus, and told Him all that they had done and taught. Mark 6:30 Lord, it must have been an exciting time for Your disciples to share with You all they had been doing. This was what they had watched You do and now they were doing these same thing too. Thank […]

And the king (Herod) was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. (His wife’s daughter) And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his (John the Baptist) head. He went and beheaded him in the […]

For when Herodias 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 […]

For John said to Herod, “It is your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him (John), and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him (John), he was much perplexed; and yet […]

But when Herod heard of it (Jesus disciples healing the sick and casting out demons) he said, “John, whom I beheaded has been raised.” For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her. Mark 5:16, 17 Thank You […]
