1 At that time Herod
the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 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. 3 For
Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison
for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife. 4 For
John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee 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 Herods birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before
them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon
he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And
she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John
Baptists head in a charger. 9 And
the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oaths 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.
