Moses definitely was a judge. (Exo 18:13 KJV) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
Also, how much overlap is there between Samuel and Saul? Samuel as judge & Saul as king were overlapping for a few years, till Samuel dies (1 Sam. 25:1).
Another possibility would be that the beginning of the temple would have
been when God gave the plans to David and he began gathering the materials for it. perhaps this
would make the 10 year difference. 450 from Exodus (time of judges) to the 30th year of David as king,
making 480 years.

chs 5 and 6 - THE TABERNACLE, THE TEMPLE AND THE RESURRECTION
When Moses made the tabernacle he was told to "make this Tabernacle and all it's furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you." The temple that Solomon built was a copy, in essence, of the tabernacle, except that it was twice as big. The temple dimensions were two times the size of the tabernacle. Also, the temple was a permanent house and the tabernacle was a tent. The Tabernacle took about 7 months to make but the temple took 7 years. Both the tabernacle and the temple were made of precious materials.
I see a parable in this. Like the tabernacle, we are all precious in God's sight. We are made in the image of God - after his pattern and our job now is to follow the example of Christ so that our lives become exactly like the pattern he showed us. But in this life we are still small, mortal sinners. However, it is now that we are spending the time, the seven years, preparing for the future. We are preparing for the time when Christ will return and will transform these bodies and minds to become, finally, like his. And just as the temple was so much bigger and more glorious than the tabernacle, so we will be made glorious and renewed like the resurrected Jesus.

1. And it came to pass in the four <702> hundred <3967> <8141> and eightieth <8084> year <8141> after the children <1121> of Israel <3478> were come out <3318>(8800) of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Solomon's <8010> reign <4427>(8800) over Israel <3478>, in the month <2320> Zif <2099>, which is the second <8145> month <2320>, that he began to build <1129>(8799) the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.
2. And the house <1004> which king <4428> Solomon <8010> built <1129>(8804) for the LORD <3068>, the length <753> thereof was threescore <8346> cubits <520>, and the breadth <7341> thereof twenty <6242> cubits, and the height <6967> thereof thirty <7970> cubits <520>.
3. And the porch <197> before <6440> the temple <1964> of the house <1004>, twenty <6242> cubits <520> was the length <753> thereof, according to the breadth <7341> of the house <1004>; and ten <6235> cubits <520> was the breadth <7341> thereof before the house <1004>.
4. And for the house <1004> he made <6213>(8799) windows <2474> of narrow <331>(8801) lights <8261>.
5. And against the wall <7023> of the house <1004> he built <1129>(8799) chambers <3326>(8675) <3326> round about <5439>, against the walls <7023> of the house <1004> round about <5439>, both of the temple <1964> and of the oracle <1687>: and he made <6213>(8799) chambers <6763> round about <5439>:
6. The nethermost <8481> chamber <3326>(8675) <3326> was five <2568> cubits <520> broad <7341>, and the middle <8484> was six <8337> cubits <520> broad <7341>, and the third <7992> was seven <7651> cubits <520> broad <7341>: for without in the wall of <2351> the house <1004> he made <5414>(8804) narrowed rests <4052> round about <5439>, that the beams should not be fastened <270>(8800) in the walls <7023> of the house <1004>.
7. And the house <1004>, when it was in building <1129>(8736), was built <1129>(8738) of stone <68> made ready <8003> before it was brought <4551> thither: so that there was neither hammer <4717> nor axe <1631> nor any tool <3627> of iron <1270> heard <8085>(8738) in the house <1004>, while it was in building <1129>(8736).
8. The door <6607> for the middle <8484> chamber <6763> was in the right <3233> side <3802> of the house <1004>: and they went up <5927>(8799) with winding stairs <3883> into the middle <8484> chamber, and out of the middle <8484> into the third <7992>.
9. So he built <1129>(8799) the house <1004>, and finished <3615>(8762) it; and covered <5603>(8799) the house <1004> with beams <1356> and boards <7713> of cedar <730>.
10. And then he built <1129>(8799) chambers <3326>(8675) <3326> against all the house <1004>, five <2568> cubits <520> high <6967>: and they rested <270>(8799) on the house <1004> with timber <6086> of cedar <730>.
11. And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came to Solomon <8010>, saying <559>(8800),
12. Concerning this house <1004> which thou art in building <1129>(8802), if thou wilt walk <3212>(8799) in my statutes <2708>, and execute <6213>(8799) my judgments <4941>, and keep <8104>(8804) all my commandments <4687> to walk <3212>(8800) in them; then will I perform <6965>(8689) my word <1697> with thee, which I spake <1696>(8765) unto David <1732> thy father <1>:
13. And I will dwell <7931>(8804) among <8432> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and will not forsake <5800>(8799) my people <5971> Israel <3478>.
14. So Solomon <8010> built <1129>(8799) the house <1004>, and finished <3615>(8762) it.
15. And he built <1129>(8799) the walls <7023> of the house <1004> within <1004> with boards <6763> of cedar <730>, both the floor <7172> of the house <1004>, and the walls <7023> of the cieling <5604>: and he covered <6823>(8765) them on the inside <1004> with wood <6086>, and covered <6823>(8762) the floor <7172> of the house <1004> with planks <6763> of fir <1265>.
16. And he built <1129>(8799) twenty <6242> cubits <520> on the sides <3411> of the house <1004>, both <4480> the floor <7172> and the walls <7023> with boards <6763> of cedar <730>: he even built <1129>(8799) them for it within <1004>, even for the oracle <1687>, even for the most <6944> holy <6944> place.
17. And the house <1004>, that is, the temple <1964> before <3942> it, was forty <705> cubits <520> long.
18. And the cedar <730> of the house <1004> within <6441> was carved <4734> with knops <6497> and open <6362>(8803) flowers <6731>: all was cedar <730>; there was no stone <68> seen <7200>(8738).
19. And the oracle <1687> he prepared <3559>(8689) in <8432> the house <1004> within <6441>, to set <5414>(8800) there the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>.
20. And the oracle <1687> in the forepart <6440> was twenty <6242> cubits <520> in length <753>, and twenty <6242> cubits <520> in breadth <7341>, and twenty <6242> cubits <520> in the height <6967> thereof: and he overlaid <6823>(8762) it with pure <5462>(8803) gold <2091>; and so covered <6823>(8762) the altar <4196> which was of cedar <730>.
21. So Solomon <8010> overlaid <6823>(8762) the house <1004> within <6441> with pure <5462>(8803) gold <2091>: and he made a partition <5674>(8762) by the chains <7572>(8675) <7572> of gold <2091> before <6440> the oracle <1687>; and he overlaid <6823>(8762) it with gold <2091>.
22. And the whole house <1004> he overlaid <6823>(8765) with gold <2091>, until he had finished <8552>(8800) all the house <1004>: also the whole altar <4196> that was by the oracle <1687> he overlaid <6823>(8765) with gold <2091>.
23. And within the oracle <1687> he made <6213>(8799) two <8147> cherubims <3742> of olive <8081> tree <6086>, each ten <6235> cubits <520> high <6967>.
24. And five <2568> cubits <520> was the one <259> wing <3671> of the cherub <3742>, and five <2568> cubits <520> the other <8145> wing <3671> of the cherub <3742>: from the uttermost part <7098> of the one wing <3671> unto the uttermost part <7098> of the other <3671> were ten <6235> cubits <520>.
25. And the other <8145> cherub <3742> was ten <6235> cubits <520>: both <8147> the cherubims <3742> were of one <259> measure <4060> and one <259> size <7095>.
26. The height <6967> of the one <259> cherub <3742> was ten <6235> cubits <520>, and so was it of the other <8145> cherub <3742>.
27. And he set <5414>(8799) the cherubims <3742> within <8432> the inner <6442> house <1004>: and they stretched forth <6566>(8799) the wings <3671> of the cherubims <3742>, so that the wing <3671> of the one <259> touched <5060>(8799) the one wall <7023>, and the wing <3671> of the other <8145> cherub <3742> touched <5060>(8802) the other <8145> wall <7023>; and their wings <3671> touched <5060>(8802) one <3671> another <3671> in the midst <8432> of the house <1004>.
28. And he overlaid <6823>(8762) the cherubims <3742> with gold <2091>.
29. And he carved <7049>(8804) all the walls <7023> of the house <1004> round about <4524> with carved <6603> figures <4734> of cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561> and open <6362>(8803) flowers <6731>, within <6441> and without <2435>.
30. And the floor <7172> of the house <1004> he overlaid <6823>(8765) with gold <2091>, within <6441> and without <2435>.
31. And for the entering <6607> of the oracle <1687> he made <6213>(8804) doors <1817> of olive <8081> tree <6086>: the lintel <352> and side posts <4201> were a fifth part <2549> of the wall.
32. The two <8147> doors <1817> also were of olive <8081> tree <6086>; and he carved <7049>(8804) upon them carvings <4734> of cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561> and open <6362>(8803) flowers <6731>, and overlaid <6823>(8765) them with gold <2091>, and spread <7286>(8686) gold <2091> upon the cherubims <3742>, and upon the palm trees <8561>.
33. So also made <6213>(8804) he for the door <6607> of the temple <1964> posts <4201> of olive <8081> tree <6086>, a fourth part <7243> of the wall.
34. And the two <8147> doors <1817> were of fir <1265> tree <6086>: the two <8147> leaves <6763> of the one <259> door <1817> were folding <1550>, and the two <8147> leaves <7050> of the other <8145> door <1817> were folding <1550>.
35. And he carved <7049>(8804) thereon cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561> and open <6362>(8803) flowers <6731>: and covered <6823>(8765) them with gold <2091> fitted <3474>(8794) upon the carved work <2707>(8794).
36. And he built <1129>(8799) the inner <6442> court <2691> with three <7969> rows <2905> of hewed stone <1496>, and a row <2905> of cedar <730> beams <3773>.
37. In the fourth <7243> year <8141> was the foundation <3245> <0> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> laid <3245>(8795), in the month <3391> Zif <2099>:
38. And in the eleventh <259> <6240> year <8141>, in the month <3391> Bul <945>, which is the eighth <8066> month <2320>, was the house <1004> finished <3615>(8804) throughout all the parts <1697> thereof, and according to all the fashion <4941> of it. So was he seven <7651> years <8141> in building <1129>(8799) it.

PRAY FOR ANSWERS
Things didn't seem to go right for Jeremiah. Even though he did all that the LORD instructed him, he still ended up suffering for the message he had to preach. At this stage he was confined in the courtyard of the guard in the royal palace of Judah. On top of this state of affairs, while confined to the prison, he was told to buy his cousin' s field. There was no way he could even go to look at it, let alone make it profitable. And if Jeremiah believed his own prophecies (which he no doubt did) he would have known that the land he was buying was just about worthless. In a very short time the king of Babylon would attack and take them all captive, and possessions and land would not mean a thing. Yet he obeyed God and bought the land even though he didn't understand why.
When things don't go right for us and when we, like Jeremiah, don't understand God's plan in our seemingly directionless lives, we can do the same as Jeremiah. He prayed. He poured out his frustrations to the LORD, while all the time recognizing that God must have a plan in these strange events.
The next thing we read is God's answer to Jeremiah. It was an answer that would have helped him to understand God's plan. When we pray for answers, God will eventually answer us too, and will put our minds at rest as we see how we fit into his plan.

v. 8 Since the final seige began in the 9th year, the seige had been going on for a year. This may explain why the cousin was selling his inheritance. He needed the money to buy bread at famine prices. Jeremiah was being instructed by God to consider the long-term and was a demonstration of his prophecy that God would return them to the land. To the cousin the now was more important to the people of God whose faith is in God's word the future is what is important.

1. The word <1697> that came to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068> in the tenth <6224> year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, which was the eighteenth <8083> <6240> <8141> year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019>.
2. For then the king <4428> of Babylon's <894> army <2428> besieged <6696>(8802) Jerusalem <3389>: and Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> was shut up <3607>(8803) in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, which was in the king <4428> of Judah's <3063> house <1004>.
3. For Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had shut him up <3607>(8804), saying <559>(8800), Wherefore dost thou prophesy <5012>(8737), and say <559>(8800), Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, Behold, I will give <5414>(8802) this city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <894>, and he shall take <3920>(8804) it;
4. And Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> shall not escape <4422>(8735) out of the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, but shall surely <5414>(8736) be delivered <5414>(8735) into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <894>, and shall speak <1696>(8765) with him mouth <6310> to mouth <6310>, and his eyes <5869> shall behold <7200>(8799) his eyes <5869>;
5. And he shall lead <3212>(8686) Zedekiah <6667> to Babylon <894>, and there shall he be until I visit <6485>(8800) him, saith <5002>(8803) the LORD <3068>: though ye fight <3898>(8735) with the Chaldeans <3778>, ye shall not prosper <6743>(8686).
6. And Jeremiah <3414> said <559>(8799), The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
7. Behold, Hanameel <2601> the son <1121> of Shallum <7967> thine uncle <1730> shall come <935>(8802) unto thee, saying <559>(8800), Buy <7069>(8798) thee my field <7704> that is in Anathoth <6068>: for the right <4941> of redemption <1353> is thine to buy <7069>(8800) it.
8. So Hanameel <2601> mine uncle's <1730> son <1121> came <935>(8799) to me in the court <2691> of the prison <4307> according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, and said <559>(8799) unto me, Buy <7069>(8798) my field <7704>, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth <6068>, which is in the country <776> of Benjamin <1144>: for the right <4941> of inheritance <3425> is thine, and the redemption <1353> is thine; buy <7069>(8798) it for thyself. Then I knew <3045>(8799) that this was the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.
9. And I bought <7069>(8799) the field <7704> of Hanameel <2601> my uncle's <1730> son <1121>, that was in Anathoth <6068>, and weighed <8254>(8799) him the money <3701>, even seventeen <7651> <6235> shekels <8255> of silver <3701>.
10. And I subscribed <3789>(8799) the evidence <5612>, and sealed <2856>(8799) it, and took <5749>(8686) witnesses <5707>, and weighed <8254>(8799) him the money <3701> in the balances <3976>.
11. So I took <3947>(8799) the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>, both that which was sealed <2856>(8803) according to the law <4687> and custom <2706>, and that which was open <1540>(8803):
12. And I gave <5414>(8799) the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4271>, in the sight <5869> of Hanameel <2601> mine uncle's <1730> son, and in the presence <5869> of the witnesses <5707> that subscribed <3789>(8802) the book <5612> of the purchase <4736>, before <5869> all the Jews <3064> that sat <3427>(8802) in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>.
13. And I charged <6680>(8762) Baruch <1263> before <5869> them, saying <559>(8800),
14. Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <430> of Israel <3478>; Take <3947>(8800) these evidences <5612>, this evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>, both which is sealed <2856>(8803), and this evidence <5612> which is open <1540>(8803); and put <5414>(8804) them in an earthen <2789> vessel <3627>, that they may continue <5975>(8799) many <7227> days <3117>.
15. For thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <430> of Israel <3478>; Houses <1004> and fields <7704> and vineyards <3754> shall be possessed again <7069>(8735) in this land <776>.
16. Now when <310> I had delivered <5414>(8800) the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, I prayed <6419>(8691) unto the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800),
17. Ah <162> Lord <136> GOD <3069>! behold, thou hast made <6213>(8804) the heaven <8064> and the earth <776> by thy great <1419> power <3581> and stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <2220>, and there is nothing <1697> too hard <6381>(8735) for thee:
18. Thou shewest <6213>(8802) lovingkindness <2617> unto thousands <505>, and recompensest <7999>(8764) the iniquity <5771> of the fathers <1> into the bosom <2436> of their children <1121> after <310> them: the Great <1419>, the Mighty <1368> God <410>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, is his name <8034>,
19. Great <1419> in counsel <6098>, and mighty <7227> in work <5950>: for thine eyes <5869> are open <6491>(8803) upon all the ways <1870> of the sons <1121> of men <120>: to give <5414>(8800) every one <376> according to his ways <1870>, and according to the fruit <6529> of his doings <4611>:
20. Which hast set <7760>(8804) signs <226> and wonders <4159> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, even unto this day <3117>, and in Israel <3478>, and among other men <120>; and hast made <6213>(8799) thee a name <8034>, as at this day <3117>;
21. And hast brought forth <3318>(8686) thy people <5971> Israel <3478> out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714> with signs <226>, and with wonders <4159>, and with a strong <2389> hand <3027>, and with a stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <248>, and with great <1419> terror <4172>;
22. And hast given <5414>(8799) them this land <776>, which thou didst swear <7650>(8738) to their fathers <1> to give <5414>(8800) them, a land <776> flowing <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>;
23. And they came in <935>(8799), and possessed <3423>(8799) it; but they obeyed <8085>(8804) not thy voice <6963>, neither walked <1980>(8804) in thy law <8451>; they have done <6213>(8804) nothing of all that thou commandedst <6680>(8765) them to do <6213>(8800): therefore thou hast caused all this evil <7451> to come <7122>(8686) upon them:
24. Behold the mounts <5550>, they are come <935>(8804) unto the city <5892> to take <3920>(8800) it; and the city <5892> is given <5414>(8738) into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, that fight <3898>(8737) against it, because <6440> of the sword <2719>, and of the famine <7458>, and of the pestilence <1698>: and what thou hast spoken <1696>(8765) is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest <7200>(8802) it.
25. And thou hast said <559>(8804) unto me, O Lord <136> GOD <3069>, Buy <7069>(8798) thee the field <7704> for money <3701>, and take <5749>(8685) witnesses <5707>; for the city <5892> is given <5414>(8738) into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>.
26. Then came the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <559>(8800),
27. Behold, I am the LORD <3068>, the God <430> of all flesh <1320>: is there any thing <1697> too hard <6381>(8735) for me?
28. Therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>; Behold, I will give <5414>(8802) this city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <894>, and he shall take <3920>(8804) it:
29. And the Chaldeans <3778>, that fight <3898>(8737) against this city <5892>, shall come <935>(8804) and set <3341>(8689) fire <784> on this city <5892>, and burn <8313>(8804) it with the houses <1004>, upon whose roofs <1406> they have offered incense <6999>(8765) unto Baal <1168>, and poured out <5258>(8689) drink offerings <5262> unto other <312> gods <430>, to provoke me to anger <3707>(8687).
30. For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> and the children <1121> of Judah <3063> have only done <6213>(8802) evil <7451> before <5869> me from their youth <5271>: for the children <1121> of Israel <3478> have only provoked me to anger <3707>(8688) with the work <4639> of their hands <3027>, saith <5002>(8803) the LORD <3068>.
31. For this city <5892> hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger <639> and of my fury <2534> from the day <3117> that they built <1129>(8804) it even unto this day <3117>; that I should remove <5493>(8687) it from before my face <6440>,
32. Because of all the evil <7451> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> and of the children <1121> of Judah <3063>, which they have done <6213>(8804) to provoke me to anger <3707>(8687), they, their kings <4428>, their princes <8269>, their priests <3548>, and their prophets <5030>, and the men <376> of Judah <3063>, and the inhabitants <3427>(8802) of Jerusalem <3389>.
33. And they have turned <6437>(8799) unto me the back <6203>, and not the face <6440>: though I taught <3925>(8763) them, rising up early <7925>(8687) and teaching <3925>(8763) them, yet they have not hearkened <8085>(8802) to receive <3947>(8800) instruction <4148>.
34. But they set <7760>(8799) their abominations <8251> in the house <1004>, which is called <7121>(8738) by my name <8034>, to defile <2930>(8763) it.
35. And they built <1129>(8799) the high places <1116> of Baal <1168>, which are in the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, to cause their sons <1121> and their daughters <1323> to pass <5674>(8687) through the fire unto Molech <4432>; which I commanded <6680>(8765) them not, neither came <5927>(8804) it into my mind <3820>, that they should do <6213>(8800) this abomination <8441>, to cause Judah <3063> to sin <2398>(8687).
36. And now therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, the God <430> of Israel <3478>, concerning this city <5892>, whereof ye say <559>(8802), It shall be delivered <5414>(8738) into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <894> by the sword <2719>, and by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>;
37. Behold, I will gather them out <6908>(8764) of all countries <776>, whither I have driven <5080>(8689) them in mine anger <639>, and in my fury <2534>, and in great <1419> wrath <7110>; and I will bring them again <7725>(8689) unto this place <4725>, and I will cause them to dwell <3427>(8689) safely <983>:
38. And they shall be my people <5971>, and I will be their God <430>:
39. And I will give <5414>(8804) them one <259> heart <3820>, and one <259> way <1870>, that they may fear <3372>(8800) me for ever <3117>, for the good <2896> of them, and of their children <1121> after <310> them:
40. And I will make <3772>(8804) an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with them, that I will not turn away <7725>(8799) from them <310>, to do them good <3190>(8687); but I will put <5414>(8799) my fear <3374> in their hearts <3824>, that they shall not depart <5493>(8800) from me.
41. Yea, I will rejoice <7797>(8804) over them to do them good <2895>(8687), and I will plant <5193>(8804) them in this land <776> assuredly <571> with my whole heart <3820> and with my whole soul <5315>.
42. For thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>; Like as I have brought <935>(8689) all this great <1419> evil <7451> upon this people <5971>, so will I bring <935>(8688) upon them all the good <2896> that I have promised <1696>(8802) them.
43. And fields <7704> shall be bought <7069>(8738) in this land <776>, whereof ye say <559>(8802), It is desolate <8077> without man <120> or beast <929>; it is given <5414>(8738) into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>.
44. Men shall buy <7069>(8799) fields <7704> for money <3701>, and subscribe <3789>(8800) evidences <5612>, and seal <2856>(8800) them, and take <5749>(8687) witnesses <5707> in the land <776> of Benjamin <1144>, and in the places about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>, and in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the cities <5892> of the mountains <2022>, and in the cities <5892> of the valley <8219>, and in the cities <5892> of the south <5045>: for I will cause their captivity <7622> to return <7725>(8686), saith <5002>(8803) the LORD <3068>.

1. And <2532> he went out <1831>(5627) from thence <1564>, and <2532> came <2064>(5627) into <1519> his own <848> country <3968>; and <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> follow <190>(5719) him <846>.
2. And <2532> when the sabbath day <4521> was come <1096>(5637), he began <756>(5662) to teach <1321>(5721) in <1722> the synagogue <4864>: and <2532> many <4183> hearing <191>(5723) him were astonished <1605>(5712), saying <3004>(5723), From whence <4159> hath this <5129> man these things <5023>? and <2532> what <5101> wisdom <4678> is this which is given <1325>(5685) unto him <846>, that <3754> even <2532> such <5108> mighty works <1411> are wrought <1096>(5736) by <1223> his <846> hands <5495>?
3. Is <2076>(5748) not <3756> this <3778> the carpenter <5045>, the son <5207> of Mary <3137>, <1161> the brother <80> of James <2385>, and <2532> Joses <2500>, and <2532> of Juda <2455>, and <2532> Simon <4613>? and <2532> are <1526>(5748) not <3756> his <846> sisters <79> here <5602> with <4314> us <2248>? And <2532> they were offended <4624>(5712) at <1722> him <846>.
4. But <1161> Jesus <2424> said <3004>(5707) unto them <846> <3754>, A prophet <4396> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> without honour <820>, but <1508> in <1722> his own <848> country <3968>, and <2532> among <1722> his own kin <4773>, and <2532> in <1722> his own <848> house <3614>.
5. And <2532> he could <3756> <1410>(5711) there <1563> do <4160>(5658) no <3762> mighty work <1411>, save <1508> that he laid <2007>(5631) his hands <5495> upon a few <3641> sick folk <732>, and healed <2323>(5656) them.
6. And <2532> he marvelled <2296>(5707) because <1223> of their <846> unbelief <570>. And <2532> he went <4013>(5707) round about <2945> the villages <2968>, teaching <1321>(5723).
7. And <2532> he called <4341>(5736) unto him the twelve <1427>, and <2532> began <756>(5662) to send <649> <0> them <846> forth <649>(5721) by two <1417> and two <1417>; and <2532> gave <1325>(5707) them <846> power over <1849> unclean <169> spirits <4151>;
8. And <2532> commanded <3853>(5656) them <846> that <2443> they should take <142>(5725) nothing <3367> for <1519> their journey <3598>, save <1508> a staff <4464> only <3440>; no <3361> scrip <4082>, no <3361> bread <740>, no <3361> money <5475> in <1519> their purse <2223>:
9. But <235> be shod <5265>(5772) with sandals <4547>; and <2532> not <3361> put on <1746>(5672)(5625) <1746>(5670) two <1417> coats <5509>.
10. And <2532> he said <3004>(5707) unto them <846>, In what place soever <3699> <1437> ye enter <1525>(5632) into <1519> an house <3614>, there <1563> abide <3306>(5720) till <2193> <302> ye depart <1831>(5632) from that place <1564>.
11. And <2532> whosoever <3745> <302> shall <1209> <0> not <3361> receive <1209>(5667) you <5209>, nor <3366> hear <191>(5661) you <5216>, when ye depart <1607>(5740) thence <1564>, shake off <1621>(5657) the dust <5522> under <5270> your <5216> feet <4228> for <1519> a testimony <3142> against them <846>. Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, It shall be <2071>(5704) more tolerable <414> for Sodom <4670> and <2228> Gomorrha <1116> in <1722> the day <2250> of judgment <2920>, than <2228> for that <1565> city <4172>.
12. And <2532> they went out <1831>(5631), and preached <2784>(5707) that <2443> men should repent <3340>(5661).
13. And <2532> they cast out <1544>(5707) many <4183> devils <1140>, and <2532> anointed <218>(5707) with oil <1637> many <4183> that were sick <732>, and <2532> healed <2323>(5707) them.
14. And <2532> king <935> Herod <2264> heard <191>(5656) of him; (for <1063> his <846> name <3686> was <1096>(5633) spread abroad <5318>:) and <2532> he said <3004>(5707), That <3754> John <2491> the Baptist <907>(5723) was risen <1453>(5681) from <1537> the dead <3498>, and <2532> therefore <1223> <5124> mighty works <1411> do shew forth themselves <1754>(5719) in <1722> him <846>.
15. Others <243> said <3004>(5707), That <3754> it is <2076>(5748) Elias <2243>. And <1161> others <243> said <3004>(5707), That <3754> it is <2076>(5748) a prophet <4396>, or <2228> as <5613> one of <1520> the prophets <4396>.
16. But <1161> when Herod <2264> heard <191>(5660) thereof, he said <2036>(5627), It <3778> is <2076>(5748) John <2491>, whom <3754> <3739> I <1473> beheaded <607>(5656): he <846> is risen <1453>(5681) from <1537> the dead <3498>.
17. For <1063> Herod <2264> himself <846> had sent forth <649>(5660) and laid hold <2902>(5656) upon John <2491>, and <2532> bound <1210>(5656) him <846> in <1722> prison <5438> for <1223> <0> Herodias <2266>' sake <1223>, his <848> brother <80> Philip's <5376> wife <1135>: for <3754> he had married <1060>(5656) her <846>.
18. For <1063> John <2491> had said <3004>(5707) unto Herod <2264>, <3754> It is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748) for thee <4671> to have <2192>(5721) thy <4675> brother's <80> wife <1135>.
19. Therefore <1161> Herodias <2266> had a quarrel <1758>(5707) against him <846>, and <2532> would <2309>(5707) have killed <615>(5658) him <846>; but <2532> she could <1410>(5711) not <3756>:
20. For <1063> Herod <2264> feared <5399>(5711) John <2491>, knowing <1492>(5761) that he <846> was a just <1342> man <435> and <2532> an holy <40>, and <2532> observed <4933>(5707) him <846>; and <2532> when he heard <191>(5660) him <846>, he did <4160>(5707) many things <4183>, and <2532> heard <191>(5707) him <846> gladly <2234>.
21. And <2532> when a convenient <2121> day <2250> was come <1096>(5637), that <3753> Herod <2264> on his <848> birthday <1077> made <4160>(5707) a supper <1173> to his <848> lords <3175>, <2532> high captains <5506>, and <2532> chief <4413> estates of Galilee <1056>;
22. And <2532> when the daughter <2364> of the said <846> Herodias <2266> came in <1525>(5631), and <2532> danced <3738>(5666), and <2532> pleased <700>(5660) Herod <2264> and <2532> them that sat with him <4873>(5740), the king <935> said <2036>(5627) unto the damsel <2877>, Ask <154>(5657) of me <3165> whatsoever <1437> thou wilt <2309>(5725), and <2532> I will give <1325>(5692) it thee <4671>.
23. And <2532> he sware <3660>(5656) unto her <846>, Whatsoever <3754> <3739> <1437> thou shalt ask <154>(5661) of me <3165>, I will give <1325>(5692) it thee <4671>, unto <2193> the half <2255> of my <3450> kingdom <932>.
24. And <1161> she went forth <1831>(5631), and said <2036>(5627) unto her <848> mother <3384>, What <5101> shall I ask <154>(5698)? And <1161> she said <2036>(5627), The head <2776> of John <2491> the Baptist <910>.
25. And <2532> she came in <1525>(5631) straightway <2112> with <3326> haste <4710> unto <4314> the king <935>, and asked <154>(5668), saying <3004>(5723), I will <2309>(5719) that <2443> thou give <1325>(5632) me <3427> by and by <1824> in <1909> a charger <4094> the head <2776> of John <2491> the Baptist <910>.
26. And <2532> the king <935> was <1096>(5637) exceeding sorry <4036>; yet for <1223> his oath's sake <3727>, and <2532> for their sakes which <3588> sat with him <4873>(5740), he would <2309>(5656) not <3756> reject <114>(5658) her <846>.
27. And <2532> immediately <2112> the king <935> sent <649>(5660) an executioner <4688>, and commanded <2004>(5656) his <846> head <2776> to be brought <5342>(5683): and <1161> he went <565>(5631) and beheaded <607>(5656) him <846> in <1722> the prison <5438>,
28. And <2532> brought <5342>(5656) his <846> head <2776> in <1909> a charger <4094>, and <2532> gave <1325>(5656) it <846> to the damsel <2877>: and <2532> the damsel <2877> gave <1325>(5656) it <846> to her <848> mother <3384>.
29. And <2532> when his <846> disciples <3101> heard <191>(5660) of it, they came <2064>(5627) and <2532> took up <142>(5656) his <846> corpse <4430>, and <2532> laid <5087>(5656) it <846> in <1722> a tomb <3419>.
30. And <2532> the apostles <652> gathered themselves together <4863>(5743) unto <4314> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> told <518>(5656) him <846> all things <3956>, both <2532> what <3745> they had done <4160>(5656), and <2532> what <3745> they had taught <1321>(5656).
31. And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Come <1205>(5773) ye <5210> yourselves <846> apart <2596> <2398> into <1519> a desert <2048> place <5117>, and <2532> rest <373>(5732) a while <3641>: for <1063> there were <2258>(5713) many <4183> coming <2064>(5740) and <2532> going <5217>(5723), and <2532> they had no <3761> <0> leisure <2119>(5707) so much as <3761> to eat <5315>(5629).
32. And <2532> they departed <565>(5627) into <1519> a desert <2048> place <5117> by ship <4143> privately <2596> <2398>.
33. And <2532> the people <3793> saw <1492>(5627) them <846> departing <5217>(5723), and <2532> many <4183> knew <1921>(5627) him <846>, and <2532> ran <4936>(5627) afoot <3979> thither <1563> out of <575> all <3956> cities <4172>, and <2532> outwent <4281>(5627) them <846>, and <2532> came together <4905>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>.
34. And <2532> Jesus <2424>, when he came out <1831>(5631), saw <1492>(5627) much <4183> people <3793>, and <2532> was moved with compassion <4697>(5675) toward <1909> them <846>, because <3754> they were <2258>(5713) as <5613> sheep <4263> not <3361> having <2192>(5723) a shepherd <4166>: and <2532> he began <756>(5662) to teach <1321>(5721) them <846> many things <4183>.
35. And <2532> when the day <5610> was <1096>(5637) now <2235> far spent <4183>, his <846> disciples <3101> came <4334>(5631) unto him <846>, and said <3004>(5719), <3754> This is <2076>(5748) a desert <2048> place <5117>, and <2532> now <2235> the time <5610> is far passed <4183>:
36. Send <630> <0> them <846> away <630>(5657), that <2443> they may go <565>(5631) into <1519> the country <68> round about <2945>, and <2532> into the villages <2968>, and buy <59>(5661) themselves <1438> bread <740>: for <1063> they have <2192>(5719) nothing <5101> <3756> to eat <5315>(5632).
37. He answered <611>(5679) and <1161> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Give <1325>(5628) ye <5210> them <846> to eat <5315>(5629). And <2532> they say <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Shall we go <565>(5631) and buy <59>(5661) two hundred <1250> pennyworth <1220> of bread <740>, and <2532> give <1325>(5632) them <846> to eat <5315>(5629)?
38. <1161> He saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, How many <4214> loaves <740> have ye <2192>(5719)? go <5217>(5720) and <2532> see <1492>(5628). And <2532> when they knew <1097>(5631), they say <3004>(5719), Five <4002>, and <2532> two <1417> fishes <2486>.
39. And <2532> he commanded <2004>(5656) them <846> to make <347> <0> all <3956> sit down <347>(5658) by companies <4849> upon <1909> the green <5515> grass <5528>.
40. And <2532> they sat down <377>(5627) in ranks <4237>, by <303> hundreds <1540>, and <2532> by <303> fifties <4004>.
41. And <2532> when he had taken <2983>(5631) the five <4002> loaves <740> and <2532> the two <1417> fishes <2486>, he looked up <308>(5660) to <1519> heaven <3772>, and blessed <2127>(5656), and <2532> brake <2622>(5656) the loaves <740>, and <2532> gave <1325>(5707) them to his <848> disciples <3101> to <2443> set before <3908>(5632) them <846>; and <2532> the two <1417> fishes <2486> divided he <3307>(5656) among them all <3956>.
42. And <2532> they did <5315> <0> all <3956> eat <5315>(5627), and <2532> were filled <5526>(5681).
43. And <2532> they took up <142>(5656) twelve <1427> baskets <2894> full <4134> of the fragments <2801>, and <2532> of <575> the fishes <2486>.
44. And <2532> they that did eat <5315>(5631) of the loaves <740> were <2258>(5713) about <5616> five thousand <4000> men <435>.
45. And <2532> straightway <2112> he constrained <315>(5656) his <848> disciples <3101> to get <1684>(5629) into <1519> the ship <4143>, and <2532> to go <4254> <0> to <1519> the other side <4008> before <4254>(5721) unto <4314> Bethsaida <966>, while <2193> he <846> sent away <630>(5661) the people <3793>.
46. And <2532> when he had sent <657> <0> them <846> away <657>(5671), he departed <565>(5627) into <1519> a mountain <3735> to pray <4336>(5664).
47. And <2532> when even <3798> was come <1096>(5637), the ship <4143> was <2258>(5713) in <1722> the midst <3319> of the sea <2281>, and <2532> he <846> alone <3441> on <1909> the land <1093>.
48. And <2532> he saw <1492>(5627) them <846> toiling <928>(5746) in <1722> rowing <1643>(5721); for <1063> the wind <417> was <2258>(5713) contrary <1727> unto them <846>: and <2532> about <4012> the fourth <5067> watch <5438> of the night <3571> he cometh <2064>(5736) unto <4314> them <846>, walking <4043>(5723) upon <1909> the sea <2281>, and <2532> would <2309>(5707) have passed by <3928>(5629) them <846>.
49. But <1161> when they saw <1492>(5631) him <846> walking <4043>(5723) upon <1909> the sea <2281>, they supposed <1380>(5656) it had been <1511>(5750) a spirit <5326>, and <2532> cried out <349>(5656):
50. For <1063> they all <3956> saw <1492>(5627) him <846>, and <2532> were troubled <5015>(5681). And <2532> immediately <2112> he talked <2980>(5656) with <3326> them <846>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Be of good cheer <2293>(5720): it is <1510>(5748) I <1473>; be <5399> <0> not <3361> afraid <5399>(5737).
51. And <2532> he went up <305>(5627) unto <4314> them <846> into <1519> the ship <4143>; and <2532> the wind <417> ceased <2869>(5656): and <2532> they were sore <3029> amazed <1839>(5710) in <1722> themselves <1438> beyond <1537> measure <4053>, and <2532> wondered <2296>(5707).
52. For <1063> they considered <4920>(5656) not <3756> the miracle of <1909> the loaves <740>: for <1063> their <846> heart <2588> was <2258>(5713) hardened <4456>(5772).
53. And <2532> when they had passed over <1276>(5660), they came <2064>(5627) into <1909> the land <1093> of Gennesaret <1082>, and <2532> drew to the shore <4358>(5681).
54. And <2532> when they were come <1831>(5631) out of <1537> the ship <4143>, straightway <2112> they knew <1921>(5631) him <846>,
55. And ran through <4063>(5631) that <1565> whole <3650> region round about <4066>, and began <756>(5662) to carry about <4064>(5721) in <1909> beds <2895> those that were <2192>(5723) sick <2560>, where <3699> they heard <191>(5707) he was <3754> <1563> <2076>(5748).
56. And <2532> whithersoever <3699> <302> he entered <1531>(5711), into <1519> villages <2968>, or <2228> cities <4172>, or <2228> country <68>, they laid <5087>(5707) the sick <770>(5723) in <1722> the streets <58>, and <2532> besought <3870>(5707) him <846> that <2443> they might touch <680>(5672) if <2579> <0> it were but <2579> the border <2899> of his <846> garment <2440>: and <2532> as many <3745> as <302> touched <680>(5711) him <846> were made whole <4982>(5712).
