4 And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.

5 And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them.
And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.

14 And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest, ) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."
15 And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
16 Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.
But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
17 For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.
18 For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.
So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
20 For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.

22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
23 And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.
And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
24 Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.
So she went out, and said to her mother, "What should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."
25 And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.
And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26 And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:
And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and those reclining, he did not wish to refuse her.
27 But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.
So immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

31 And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.
And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.
So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
33 And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.
But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.

36 Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.
But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"
38 And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.

40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

43 And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes.

45 And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people.

After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.
When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them, ) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.
He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. In the watch between three and six in the morning he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,
49 But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.
for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
52 For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and everyone who touched him were made well.
