25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
Her daughter then, returning hastily to the king, made this request: I would that you give me presently in a basin, the head of John the Immerser.

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

he observed them toiling at the oar, for the wind was against them: and about the fourth watch of the night, he went to them, walking on the water. and seemed intending to pass by them.

53 And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
