1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works show forth themselves in him."
3 For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Upon that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
8 And she, being instructed beforehand by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter."
9 And the king was sorry: Nevertheless, for the oath's sake, and those who sat with him at the table, he commanded it to be given to her.
10 So he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: And she brought it to her mother.
12 Then his disciples came, and took away the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard about it, He departed from there by ship into a deserted place apart: But when the people heard of it, they followed Him on foot out of the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a large crowd, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15 Moreover 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 food for themselves."
16 But Jesus said to them, "They need not depart; you give them something to eat."
17 And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves, and two fish."
18 He said, "Bring them here to Me."
19 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 Then they all ate, and were filled: And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 And immediately Jesus compelled His disciples to get into a ship, and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: And when evening came, He was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves: For the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a spirit"; and they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer; it is I; do not be afraid."
28 And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
29 And He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me."
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
32 And when they came into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the ship came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."
34 And when they had sailed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of Him, they sent out into all that surrounding country, and brought to Him all who were diseased;
36 and implored Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: And as many as touched it were made perfectly whole.
