NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Matthew 14

John the Baptist Beheaded

1

 aAt that  1timeg2540  bHerodg2264 the tetrarchg5068a heardg191 the newsg189 about Jesusg2424,

2

and saidg3004 to his servantsg3816, " aThisg3778 is Johng2491 the Baptistg910;  1he has riseng1453 from the deadg3498, and that is whyg1223 miraculousg1411 powersg1411 are at workg1754 in him."

3

For when  aHerodg2264 had Johng2491 arrestedg2902, he boundg1210 him and putg659 him  bin prisong5438 becauseg1223 of  cHerodiasg2266, the wifeg1135 of his brotherg80 Philipg5376.

4

For Johng2491 had been sayingg3004 to him, " aIt is not lawfulg1832 for you to haveg2192 her."

5

Although Herod wantedg2309 to putg615 him to deathg615, he fearedg5399 the crowdg3793, becauseg3754 they regardedg2192  1Johng4053 as  aa prophetg4396.

6

But when Herod'sg2264 birthdayg1077 cameg1096, the daughterg2364 of  aHerodiasg2266 dancedg3738  1beforeg1722g3319 them and pleasedg700  bHerodg2264,

7

sog3606 much that he promisedg3670 with an oathg3727 to giveg1325 her whateverg3739g1437 she askedg154.

8

Having been promptedg4264 by her motherg3384, she *saidg5346, "Giveg1325 me hereg5602 on a platterg4094 the headg2776 of Johng2491 the Baptistg910."

9

Although he was grievedg3076, the kingg935 commandedg2753 it to be giveng1325 becauseg1223 of his oathsg3727, and because of  1his dinnerg4873 guestsg4873.

10

He sentg3992 and had Johng2491 beheadedg607 in the prisong5438.

11

And his headg2776 was broughtg5342 on a platterg4094 and giveng1325 to the girlg2877, and she broughtg5342 it to her motherg3384.

12

His disciplesg3101 cameg4334 and tookg142 awayg142 the bodyg4430 and buriedg2290  1it; and they wentg2064 and reportedg518 to Jesusg2424.

Five Thousand Fed

13

 aNowg1161 when Jesusg2424 heardg191 about John, He withdrewg402 from thereg1564 in a boatg4143 to a secludedg2048 placeg5117 by Himselfg2398; and when the  1peopleg3793 heardg191 of this, they followedg190 Him on footg3979a from the citiesg4172.

14

When He wentg1831  1ashoreg1831, He  asawg3708 a largeg4183 crowdg3793, and feltg4697 compassiong4697 for them and  bhealedg2323 their sickg732.

15

When it was eveningg3798, the disciplesg3101 cameg4334 to Him and saidg3004, "Thisg3588 placeg5117 is desolateg2048 and the hourg5610 is alreadyg2235  1lateg3928; sog3767 sendg630 the crowdsg3793 awayg630, that they may gog565 into the villagesg2968 and buyg59 foodg1033 for themselvesg1438."

16

But Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "They do not needg5532 to gog565 awayg565; you giveg1325 them something to eatg2068!"

17

They *saidg3004 to Him, "We haveg2192 hereg5602 onlyg3756g1487g3361  afiveg4002 loavesg740 and twog1417 fishg2486."

18

And He saidg3004, "Bringg5342 them hereg5602 to Me."

19

Orderingg2753 the  1peopleg3793 to  2sitg347 downg347 on the grassg5528, He tookg2983 the fiveg4002 loavesg740 and the twog1417 fishg2486, and lookingg308 up towardg1519 heaveng3772, He  ablessedg2127 the food, and breakingg2806 the loavesg740 He gaveg1325 them to the disciplesg3101, and the disciplesg3101 gave them to the crowdsg3793,

20

and they allg3956 ateg2068 and were satisfiedg5526. They pickedg142 up whatg3588 was leftg4052 overg4052 of the brokeng2801 piecesg2801, twelveg1427 fullg4134  abasketsg2894.

21

There were aboutg5616 fiveg4000 thousandg4000 meng435 who ateg2068, besidesg5565 womeng1135 and childreng3813.

Jesus Walks on the Water

22

 aImmediatelyg2112 He  1madeg315 the disciplesg3101 getg1684 into the boatg4143 and gog4254 aheadg4254 of Him to the otherg4008 sideg4008, whileg2193 He sentg630 the crowdsg3793 awayg630.

23

After He had sentg630 the crowdsg3793 awayg630,  aHe wentg305 up on the mountaing3735 by Himselfg2398 to prayg4336; and when it was eveningg3798, He was thereg1563 aloneg3441.

24

But the boatg4143 was alreadyg2235  1a longg4183 distanceg4712 from the landg1093,  2batteredg928 by the wavesg2949; for the windg417 was  3 acontraryg1727.

25

And in  athe  1fourthg5067a watchg5438 of the nightg3571 He cameg2064 to them, walkingg4043 on the seag2281.

26

When the disciplesg3101 sawg3708 Him walkingg4043 on the seag2281, they were terrifiedg5015, and saidg3004, "It is  aa ghostg5326!" And they criedg2896 out  1in fearg5401.

27

But immediatelyg2117 Jesusg2424 spokeg2980 to them, sayingg3004, aTakeg2293 courageg2293, it is I;  bdo not be afraidg5399."

28

Peterg4074 saidg3004 to Him, "Lordg2962, ifg1487 it is You, commandg2753 me to comeg2064 to You on the waterg5204."

29

And He saidg3004, "Comeg2064!" And Peterg4074 gotg2597 out of the boatg4143, and walkedg4043 on the waterg5204 and cameg2064 towardg4314 Jesusg2424.

30

But seeingg991 the windg417, he became frightenedg5399, and beginningg757 to sinkg2670, he criedg2896 out, "Lordg2962, saveg4982 me!"

31

Immediatelyg2112 Jesusg2424 stretchedg1614 out His handg5495 and tookg1949 holdg1949 of him, and *saidg3004 to him, aYou of littleg3640b faithg3640b, whyg1519g5101 did you doubtg1365b?"

32

When they gotg305 into the boatg4143, the windg417 stoppedg2869.

33

And thoseg3588 who were in the boatg4143 worshipedg4352 Him, sayingg3004, "You are certainlyg230  aGod'sg2316 Song5207!"

34

 aWhen they had crossedg1276 overg1276, they cameg2064 to landg1093 at  bGennesaretg1082.

35

And when the meng435 of that placeg5117  1recognizedg1921 Him, they sentg649 word into allg3650 that surroundingg4066 districtg4066 and broughtg4374 to Him allg3956 who were sickg2560;

36

and they imploredg3870 Him that they might justg3441 touchg681  athe fringeg2899 of His cloakg2440; and as manyg3745 as  btouchedg681 it were curedg1295.
