At that
time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of
Jesus,
02 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.
03 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound
him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake,
his brother Philip's wife.
04 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for
thee to have her.
05 And when he would have put him to death, he
feared the multitude, because they counted him as
a prophet.
06 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the
daughter of Herodias danced before them, and
pleased Herod.
07 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her
whatsoever she would ask.
08 And she, being before instructed of her
mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in
a charger.
09 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.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and
given to the damsel: and she brought it to her
mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body,
and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 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.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great
multitude, and was moved with compassion toward
them, and he healed their sick.
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.
16 But Jesus said unto them, They
need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have
here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
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 brake, and gave the
loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and
they took up of the fragments that remained
twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five
thousand men, beside women and children.
22 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.
23 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.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus
went unto 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 straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of
good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and
said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee
on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when
Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on
the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was
afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying,
Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou
of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into
the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and
worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the
Son of God.
34 And when they were gone 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 country round
about, and brought unto him all that were
diseased;
36 And besought him that they might only touch
the hem of his garment: and as many as touched
were made perfectly whole.
