Mark chapter 6 begins with the event in which Jesus was rejected in His hometown, and records His sending out of the twelve disciples two by two, the death of John the Baptist, the miracle of feeding the five thousand, His walking on the sea, and His healing of the sick at Gennesaret. The people of Jesus’ hometown were astonished at His wisdom and mighty works, but they looked only at His familiar human background and did not receive Him. Jesus gave the twelve disciples power over unclean spirits and sent them out to preach, and the disciples preached repentance, cast out demons, and healed the sick. Meanwhile Herod, hearing the news about Jesus, was afraid, thinking that John the Baptist, whom he had killed, had risen. John the Baptist had been put in prison for pointing out Herod’s wrongful marriage, and he was beheaded as Herodias’s daughter demanded. When the disciples returned from their ministry, Jesus intended to let them rest, but He had compassion on the great multitude, who were like sheep without a shepherd, taught them the word, and fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fish. Afterward Jesus came to His disciples walking on the sea and made the wind cease. After He arrived at Gennesaret, all the sick who touched the hem of His garment were healed. This chapter shows the compassion and the power of Jesus, who teaches, feeds, and heals even while being rejected by those who do not believe.
