14
1At that time Herod the Tetrarche heard of the fame of Iesus, 2And sayde vnto his seruaunts, This is that Iohn Baptist, hee is risen againe from the deade, and therefore great woorkes are wrought by him. 3For Herod had taken Iohn, and bounde him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife. 4For Iohn saide vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her. 5And when hee woulde haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet. 6But when Herods birth day was kept, the daughter of Herodias daunced before them, and pleased Herod. 7Wherefore he promised with an othe, that he would giue her whatsoeuer she would aske. 8And shee being before instructed of her mother, sayde, Giue mee here Iohn Baptists head in a platter. 9And the King was sorie: neuerthelesse because of the othe, and them that sate with him at the table, he commanded it to be giuen her, 10And sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a platter, and giuen to the maide, and shee brought it vnto her mother. 12And his disciples came, and tooke vp the bodie, and buried it, and went, and tolde Iesus. 13And when Iesus heard it, hee departed thence by shippe into a desert place apart. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed him on foote out of the cities. 14And Iesus went foorth and sawe a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke. 15And when euen was come, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desart place, and the time is alreadie past: let the multitude depart, that they may goe into the townes, and bye them vitailes. 16But Iesus saide to them, They haue no neede to goe away: giue yee them to eate. 17Then saide they vnto him, Wee haue here but fiue loaues, and two fishes. 18And he saide, Bring them hither to me. 19And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, and tooke the fiue loaues and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen and blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20And they did all eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, twelue baskets full. 21And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousande men, beside women and litle children. 22And straightway Iesus compelled his disciples to enter into a shippe, and to goe ouer before him, while he sent the multitude away. 23And assoone as hee had sent the multitude away, he went vp into a moutaine alone to pray: and when the euening was come, hee was there alone. 24And the shippe was nowe in the middes of the sea, and was tossed with waues: for it was a contrarie winde. 25And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the sea. 26And when his disciples sawe him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and cried out for feare. 27But straight way Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good comfort, It is I: be not afraide. 28Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water. 29And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus. 30But when he sawe a mightie winde, he was afraide: and as he began to sinke, he cried, saying, Master, saue me. 31So immediatly Iesus stretched foorth his hande, and caught him, and saide to him, O thou of litle faith, wherefore diddest thou doubt? 32And assoone as they were come into the ship, the winde ceased. 33Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God. 34And when they were come ouer, they came into the land of Gennezaret. 35And when the men of that place knewe him, they sent out into all that countrey rounde about, and brought vnto him all that were sicke, 36And besought him, that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely: and as many as touched it, were made whole.

Matthew 14
14
The Beheading of John
(Mark 6:14–29; Luke 9:7–9)
1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus 2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, 4because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
6On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod 7so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted 10and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
11John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
12Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
(Mark 6:30–44; Luke 9:10–17; John 6:1–15)
13When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns. 14When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
17“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said. 19And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Jesus Walks on Water
(Mark 6:45–52; John 6:16–21)
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. 23After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, 24but the boat was already far #14:24 Greek many stadia; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25During the fourth watch of the night,#14:25 That is, between three and six in the morning Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. 26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
27But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
29“Come,” said Jesus.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the strength of the wind,#14:30 Literally when he saw the strong wind; NE and WH do not include strong. he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
32And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
Jesus Heals at Gennesaret
(Mark 6:53–56)
34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him 36and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
