Chapter 14
At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, and
said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead;
and therefore do these powers work in him. 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. 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 came, the daughter of
Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with
an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. And she, being put forward by
her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat
at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; and he sent and beheaded John
in the prison. And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up
the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert
place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him ^1 on
foot from the cities. And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he
had compassion on them, and healed their sick. And when even was come, the
disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already
past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
themselves food. But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give
ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes. And he said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the
multitudes to ^2 sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the
two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the
loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. And they all
ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken
pieces, twelve baskets full. And they that did eat were about five thousand
men, besides women and children.
[Footnote 1: Or, by land]
[Footnote 2: Gr. recline.]
And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and
to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away.
And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart
to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. But the boat ^3 was now
in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying,
It is a ghost; 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 upon the waters. And
he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters
^4 to come to Jesus. But when he saw the ^5 wind, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were gone up into the
boat, the wind ceased. And they that were in the boat ^6 worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret.
And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that place knew
him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that
were sick; and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his
garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
