At that
time
Herod
the tetrarch
heard
of the fame
of Jesus
,
And 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
.
For Herod
had laid hold
on John
, and bound
him
, and
put
him in
prison
for
Herodias'
sake
, his
brother
Philip's
wife
.
For John
said
unto him
, It is
not
lawful
for thee
to have
her
.
And when he would
have put
him
to death
, he feared
the multitude
, because
they counted
him
as
a prophet
.
But when Herod's
birthday
was kept
, the daughter
of Herodias
danced
before them
, and
pleased
Herod
.
Whereupon he promised
with
an oath
to give
her
whatsoever
she would ask
.
And she, being before instructed
of
her
mother
, said
, Give
me
here
John
Baptist's
head
in
a charger
.
And 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 .
And he sent
, and beheaded
John
in
the prison
.
And his
head
was brought
in
a charger
, and
given
to the damsel
: and
she brought
it to her
mother
.
And his
disciples
came
, and took up
the body
, and
buried
it
, and
went
and told
Jesus
.
When 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
.
And Jesus
went forth
, and saw
a great
multitude
, and
was moved with compassion
toward
them
, and
he healed
their
sick
.
And 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
.
But Jesus
said
unto them
, They need
not
depart
; give
ye
them
to eat
.
And they say
unto him
, We have
here
but
five
loaves
, and
two
fishes
.
He said
, Bring
them
hither
to me
.
And 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
.
And they did
all
eat
, and
were filled
: and
they took up
of the fragments
that remained
twelve
baskets
full
.
And they that had eaten
were
about
five thousand
men
, beside
women
and
children
.
And 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
.
And 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
.
But the ship
was
now
in the midst
of the sea
, tossed
with
waves
: for
the wind
was
contrary
.
And in the fourth
watch
of the night
Jesus
went
unto
them
, walking
on
the sea
.
And when the disciples
saw
him
walking
on
the sea
, they were troubled
, saying
, It is
a spirit
; and
they cried out
for
fear
.
But straightway
Jesus
spake
unto them
, saying
, Be of good cheer
; it is
I
; be
not
afraid
.
And Peter
answered
him
and said
, Lord
, if
it be
thou
, bid
me
come
unto
thee
on
the water
.
And he said
, Come
. And
when Peter
was come down
out of
the ship
, he walked
on
the water
, to go
to
Jesus
.
But when he saw
the wind
boisterous
, he was afraid
; and
beginning
to sink
, he cried
, saying
, Lord
, save
me
.
And immediately
Jesus
stretched forth
his hand
, and caught
him
, and
said
unto him
, O thou of little faith
, wherefore
didst thou doubt
?
And when they
were come
into
the ship
, the wind
ceased
.
Then they that were in
the ship
came
and worshipped
him
, saying
, Of a truth
thou art
the Son
of God
.
And when they were gone over
, they came
into
the land
of Gennesaret
.
And 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
;
And besought
him
that
they might
only
touch
the hem
of his
garment
: and
as many as
touched
were made perfectly whole
.
