| 1 In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus: |
|
| 2 and he said unto his servants–This, is John the Immerser,–he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him. |
|
| 3 For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away,–because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother; |
|
| 4 for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her. |
|
| 5 And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him. |
|
| 6 But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod; |
|
| 7 wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself; |
|
| 8 and, she, being led on by her mother,–Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. |
|
| 9 And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given; |
|
| 10 and sent and beheaded John in the prison. |
|
| 11 And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. |
|
| 12 And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus. |
|

|
| 13 And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart,–and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities. |
|
| 14 And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude,–and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick. |
|
| 15 And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying–The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed,–dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves food. |
|
| 16 But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away,–give, ye, them to eat. |
|
| 17 But, they, say unto him–We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes. |
|
| 18 But, he, said–Bring, them, to me, here. |
|
| 19 And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass,–taking the five loaves and the two fishes,–looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude. |
|
| 20 And they did all eat, and were filled,–and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full. |
|
| 21 And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children. |
|
| |
|
| 22 And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes. |
|
| 23 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray,–and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there. |
|
| 24 Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves,–for, the wind, was, contrary. |
|
| 25 And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea. |
|
| 26 And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled,–saying–It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out. |
|
| 27 And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying–Take courage! it is, I,–be not afraid. |
|
| 28 And, making answer, Peter said unto him,–Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
|
|
| 29 And, he, said–Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus. |
|
| 30 But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying–Lord! save me! |
|
| 31 And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him–O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt? |
|
| 32 And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated. |
|
| 33 And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying–Truly, God's Son, thou art! |
|
| |
|
| 34 And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret. |
|
| 35 And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick; |
|
| 36 and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well. |
