Matthew 14
14
1At that time Herod [heroic] the Tetrarch heard reports about Yeshua [God is Salvation].
2He said to his servants: ‘Behold I believe that Yochanan [Yah is gracious] the Baptizer is doing these miracles’.
3This happened because Herod [heroic] had seized Yochanan [Yah is gracious] in those days bound him in prison because he was reproving him that he should not take Herodias for a wife because she was the wife of his brother.
4Yochanan [Yah is gracious] was saying to him: “She is not permissible to you”.
5Then behold Herod [heroic] wished to kill him, but he feared the people who believed that Yochanan [Yah is gracious] was a prophet among them.
6On the feast of Herod [heroic]’s birthday, he called the nobles of his kingdom to eat with him, and while they were eating, his daughter danced among them and it was pleasing to Herod [heroic].
7He swore to give her whatever she asked from him.
8The girl being instructed by her mother, asked for the head of Yochanan [Yah is gracious] the Baptizer in a bowl.
9The king was very sad because of the oath which he had made before those invited. But he commanded to do so
10and sent to kill Yochanan [Yah is gracious] in prison.
11They brought the head of Yochanan [Yah is gracious] in a bowl and gave it to the girl and the girl gave it to her mother.
12Then the disciples of Yochanan [Yah is gracious] came and took the body and buried it and the disciples told the matter to Yeshua [God is Salvation].
13When Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard it, he departed from there in a boat and went into the wilderness of Y’huda [praise]. When the crowds heard they followed him from all the cities.
14When they came out he saw behind him a numerous people; so he extended kindness to them and healed all their diseases.
15At evening time his disciples came to him and said to him: ‘This place is limited and the time is advancing. Let the crowds go into the towns that they might buy food for themselves’.
16Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered: “They have no need to go; give them to eat”.
17They answered: ‘We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish’.
18He said to them: “Bring them to me”.
19Then he commanded that the people should sit on the grass. When they sat he took the five loaves and two fish and as he looked into heaven he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them, divided them, and gave them to his disciples and the disciples made distribution to the groups.
20All of them ate and were satisfied. They also ate the fish according to what they desired. After they had finished, they took the fragments, which remained, and filled twelve baskets with them.
21The number of those eating was five thousand men apart from women and children.
22After this, he commanded his disciples to assemble in a boat that they might go before him to the city to which the crowds were going.
23After he left the crowds he went up on a mountain and prayed alone. At the time of evening he was standing alone.
24The boat was in the midst of the sea and the waves of the sea were driving it because the wind was contrary.
25At the fourth watch of the night Yeshua [God is Salvation] came to them walking on the sea.
26When his disciples saw him walking on the sea they were alarmed, thinking he was a demon, and from the greatness of their fear they were crying out.
27Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them and said to them: “Let faith be among you because it is I; do not fear”.
28Kefa [pebble] answered and said to him: ‘My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.
29Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Come”. So Kefa [pebble] came down from the boat, walked on the sea, and came to Yeshua [God is Salvation].
30But when he saw the strength of the wind he feared exceedingly and as he began to sink cried out and said: ‘My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], save me’.
31Immediately Yeshua [God is Salvation] stretched out his hand, took him, and said to him: “Man of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32When they went up into the boat, the wind became quiet,
33and those in the boat did homage to him and said: ‘Truly, you are the Son of The Mighty One’.
34They crossed over and they came to the land of Ginosar [a garden of riches].
35When the people of the place recognized him they sent into all that kingdom and brought to him all who were sick with various kinds of diseases.
36They implored him that he might be pleased to allow them to touch the hem of his garment, and each one who touched it was healed.

Matthew 14
14
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.
