St Mark 6:26-36 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

26. And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

27. But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.

28. And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

29. Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

30. And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught.

31. And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.

32. And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.

33. And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.

34. And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

35. And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:

36. Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.
