Mark 6

The Apostles Return

The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a little.” So many people were coming and going that they had no chance even to eat. So they went away by themselves in the boat to a deserted place.

Two ways of attending to Scripture

TSW helps readers examine how the text is shaped. Fluent helps readers hear and absorb how the passage moves as a whole. They complement one another; neither is presented as the better or more faithful Bible.

TSW

Study & Discuss

Keeps more of the source text’s wording, patterns, structure, repetition, and interpretive questions visible. Use it to slow down, notice details, prepare to teach or preach, and explore Scripture with others.

Fluent

Read & Reflect

Expresses the passage in natural English for sustained reading, prayer, devotion, teaching, and growing biblical fluency. Use it to follow the movement of a passage and absorb Scripture as a whole.
