The Death of John the Baptist
(Mark 6.14-29; Luke 9.7-9)
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 show forth themselves in him. 3#Luke 3.19,20. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Hero´di-as' sake, his brother Philip's wife. 4#Lev 18.16; 20.21. For 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 Hero´di-as 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.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
(Mark 6.30-44; Luke 9.10-17; John 6.1-14)
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. 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.
Jesus Walks on the Sea
(Mark 6.45-52; John 6.15-21)
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.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
(Mark 6.53-56)
34And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennes´aret. 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.

1 # 14:1 Or On that occasion At that time #14:1 I.e., Herod AntipasHerod #14:1 I.e., a regional rulerthe tetrarch heard the news about Jesus, 2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he himself has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded #14:5 Lit himJohn as a prophet.
6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced #14:6 Lit in the midstbefore them and pleased Herod, 7so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8And after being prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths and #14:9 Lit those who reclined at the table with himhis dinner guests. 10He sent word and had John beheaded in the prison. 11And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12#14:12 Lit hisJohn’s disciples came and took away the body and buried #14:12 Lit himit; and they went and reported to Jesus.
Five Thousand Men Fed
13Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the #14:13 Lit the crowdspeople heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14When He came #14:14 Lit outashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.
15Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!” 17They *said to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.” 18And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19And ordering the crowds to #14:19 Lit reclinesit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full baskets. 21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22Immediately afterward He compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24But the boat was already #14:24 Lit many stadia from; a Roman stadion perhaps averaged 607 ft. or 185 ma long distance from the land, #14:24 Lit tormentedbattered by the waves; for the wind was #14:24 Or adversecontrary. 25And in the #14:25 I.e., 3-6 a.m.fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out #14:26 Lit fromin fear. 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, #14:27 Lit I amit is I; do not be afraid.”
28Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if #14:28 Lit You areit is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly God’s Son!”
34When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place #14:35 Or found out aboutrecognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding region and brought to Him all who were sick; 36and they pleaded with Him that they might just touch the #14:36 Or tassel; i.e., a ritual tassel sewn to corners of garments for Jewish menborder of His cloak; and all who touched it were cured.
