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.

From Place to Place
1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, 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 was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Into a Desert Place
13When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Feeding Five Thousand
15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18He said, Bring them hither to me. 19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Walking on the Sea
22And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; 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 on the water. 29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
At Gennesaret
34And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
