Matthew 14

The Death of John the Baptist
Mk 6:14–29; Lk 9:7–9
1#Lk 3:1; 9:7–9At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2#Mt 16:14and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead. And therefore mighty works are at work in him.”
3#Mt 4:12; Mk 6:17For Herod had laid hold of John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4#Lev 18:16; 20:21For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5#Mt 11:9; 21:26When Herod would have put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they counted him as a prophet.
6#Ge 40:20; Mk 6:21–23But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. 7Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask. 8Being previously instructed by her mother, she said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter.” 9The king was sorry. Nevertheless, for the oath’s sake and those who sat with him at supper, he commanded it to be given to her. 10#Mt 17:12He sent and beheaded John in the prison. 11His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12#Ac 8:2His disciples came and took up the body and buried it. And they went and told Jesus.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
Mk 6:30–44; Lk 9:10–17; Jn 6:1–14
13#Lk 9:10–17When Jesus heard this, He departed from there by boat for a deserted place. But when the people heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14#Mt 9:36; 4:23Jesus went ashore and saw a great assembly. And He was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15#Mt 15:23When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a lonely place and the day is now over. Send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16#2Ki 4:42–44But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to depart. You give them something to eat.”
17They said to Him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.”
18He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19#1Sa 9:13; Lk 24:30Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to His disciples; and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20#Lk 9:17They all ate and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21Those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Walking on the Water
Mk 6:45–52; Jn 6:15–21
22Then Jesus commanded His disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23#Lk 6:12; Mk 6:46When He sent the crowds away, He went up into a mountain by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone. 24But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was turbulent.
25#Job 9:8; Mt 24:43During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26#Lk 24:37But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit.” And they cried out in fear.
27#Mt 9:2; Ac 23:11But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, bid me come to You on the water.”
29He said, “Come.”
And when Peter got out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31#Mt 6:30; 8:26Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33#Ps 2:7; Mt 16:16Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
The Healing of the Sick in Gennesaret
Mk 6:53–56
34#Mk 6:53–56; Lk 5:1When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick, 36#Mk 3:10; Lk 6:19and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

1At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, 2and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him. 3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 8And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 9And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; 10and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 23And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. 24But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 29And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick; 36and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
