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
The death of John the Baptist
(Mark 6.14-29; Luke 9.7-9)
1About this time Herod the ruler#14.1 Herod the ruler: Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great (see 2.1). heard the news about Jesus 2and told his officials, “This is John the Baptist! He has come back from death, and that's why he has the power to perform these miracles.”
3-4Herod had earlier arrested John and had him chained and put in prison. He did this because John had told him, “It isn't right for you to take Herodias, the wife of your brother Philip.”#Lk 3.19,20.#Lv 18.16; 20.21. 5Herod wanted to kill John. But the people thought John was a prophet, and Herod was afraid of what they might do.
6When Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests. She pleased Herod 7so much that he swore to give her whatever she wanted. 8But the girl's mother told her to say, “Here on a dish I want the head of John the Baptist!”
9The king was sorry for what he had said. But he did not want to break the promise he had made in front of his guests. So he ordered a guard 10to go to the prison and cut off John's head. 11It was taken on a dish to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 12John's followers took his body and buried it. Then they told Jesus what had happened.
Jesus feeds five thousand
(Mark 6.30-44; Luke 9.10-17; John 6.1-14)
13After Jesus heard about John, he crossed Lake Galilee#14.13 crossed Lake Galilee: To the east side. to go to some place where he could be alone. But the crowds found out and followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw the large crowd. He felt sorry for them and healed everyone who was sick.
15That evening the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This place is like a desert, and it is already late. Let the crowds leave, so they can go to the villages and buy some food.”
16Jesus replied, “They don't have to leave. Why don't you give them something to eat?”
17But they said, “We have only five small loaves of bread#14.17 small loaves of bread: These would have been flat and round or in the shape of a bun. and two fish.” 18Jesus asked his disciples to bring the food to him, 19and he told the crowd to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and handed it to his disciples, and they gave it to the people.
20After everyone had eaten all they wanted, Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftovers.
21There were about five thousand men who ate, not counting the women and children.
Jesus walks on the water
(Mark 6.45-52; John 6.15-21)
22Straight away, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start back across the lake.#14.22 back across the lake: To the west side. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away. 23Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later that evening, he was still there.
24By this time the boat was a long way from the shore. It was going against the wind and was being tossed around by the waves. 25A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water towards his disciples. 26When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.
27At once, Jesus said to them, “Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid.”
28Peter replied, “Lord, if it is really you, tell me to come to you on the water.”
29“Come on!” Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water towards him.
30But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31Straight away, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, “You don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?”
32When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down. 33The men in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “You really are the Son of God!”
Jesus heals sick people in Gennesaret
(Mark 6.53-56)
34Jesus and his disciples crossed the lake and came to shore near the town of Gennesaret. 35The people found out that he was there, and they sent word to everyone who lived in that part of the country. So they brought all the sick people to Jesus. 36They begged him just to let them touch his clothes, and everyone who did was healed.
