Matthew 14
1 About that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,
2 He said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead. Therefore these powers are at work in him.”
and said to his servants, This is John the baptist, he is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by him:
3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
for Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
4 For John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her as your wife.”
for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,
5 Herod would have put him to death, but he feared the people, because they regarded him as a prophet.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod.
But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 In response, he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
that he promised her with an oath to give her whatever she would ask:
8 After being instructed by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
and she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of John the baptist:
9 The king was very upset by her request, but because of his oath and because of all those at dinner with him, he ordered that it should be done.
at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given her;
10 He sent and beheaded John in the prison.
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison,
11 Then his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl and she took it to her mother.
and his head was brought in a dish, and given to the young princess, who carried it to her mother:
12 Then his disciples came, took up the corpse, and buried it. After this, they went and told Jesus.
and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place. When the crowds heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:
14 Then Jesus came before them and saw the large crowd. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
and when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them; and He healed their sick.
15 When the evening had come, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the day is already over. Dismiss the crowds, so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 They said to him, “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.”
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 Jesus said, “Bring them to me.”
and He said, bring them hither to me.
19 Then Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. Looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowd.
And having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;
20 They all ate and were filled. Then they took up what remained of the broken pieces of food—twelve baskets full.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds.
And presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:
23 After he had sent away the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 But the boat was now a long way from land, being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was blowing against them.
And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:
25 In the fourth watch of the night Jesus approached them, walking on the sea.
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea:
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, “It is a ghost,” and they cried out in fear.
and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 But Jesus spoke to them right away and said, “Be brave! It is I! Do not be afraid.”
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.
And He said, Come.
30 But when Peter saw the wind, he became afraid. As he began to sink, he cried out and said, “Lord, save me!”
And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.
31 Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, took hold of Peter, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Then when Jesus and Peter went into the boat, the wind ceased blowing.
So they got into the ship, and the wind ceased.
33 Then the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
And they passed over and came into the country of Gennesaret.
35 When the men in that place recognized Jesus, they sent messages everywhere into the surrounding area, and they brought to him everyone who was sick.
And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;
36 They begged him that they might just touch the edge of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
