14:1  At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus
14:2  and said unto his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works show forth themselves in him.”
14:3  For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
14:4  For John said unto him, “It is not lawful for thee to have her.”
14:5  And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
14:6  But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,
14:7  whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
14:8  And she, being beforehand instructed by her mother, said, “Give me here John the Baptist’s head on a charger.”
14:9  And the king was sorry; nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and those who sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
14:10  And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
14:11  And his head was brought on a charger and given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
14:12  And his disciples came, and took up the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
14:13  When Jesus heard of it, He departed thence by boat into a desert place apart. And when the people had heard thereof, they followed Him on foot out of the cities.
14:14  And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
14:15  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.”
14:16  But Jesus said unto them, “They need not depart. Give ye them to eat.”
14:17  And they said unto Him, “We have here but five loaves and two fishes.”
14:18  And He said, “Bring them hither to Me.”
14:19  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 broke the loaves and gave them to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
14:20  And they all ate and were filled. And they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full.
14:21  And those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
14:22  And straightway Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a boat and to go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
14:23  And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up onto a mountain apart to pray. And when evening had come, He was there alone.
14:24  But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
14:25  And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
14:26  And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit”; and they cried out for fear.
14:27  But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, “Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid.”
14:28  And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water.”
14:29  And He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
14:30  But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, “Lord, save me!”
14:31  And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him and said unto him, “O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?”
14:32  And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
14:33  Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “In truth Thou art the Son of God.”
14:34  And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
14:35  And when the men of that place learned of Him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto Him all who were diseased.
14:36  And they besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
