Chapter 14
1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
(Hebrew unavailable)
2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
3Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
(Hebrew unavailable)
4because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
(Hebrew unavailable)
7so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
9The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
(Hebrew unavailable)
10and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
16“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
17“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
(Hebrew unavailable)
24but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
(Hebrew unavailable)
27But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
28“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
29“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
31Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
32And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
(Hebrew unavailable)
33Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
(Hebrew unavailable)
35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him
(Hebrew unavailable)
36and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
