[1] At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, [2] And said unto his servants, This John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. [3] For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and him in prison Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. [4] For John unto him, not lawful to have her. [5] And when he would him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. [6] But when Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. [7] Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. [8] And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give here John Baptist's head in a charger. [9] And the king was sorry: the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given [10] And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. [11] And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. [12] And his disciples came, and took up and buried it, and went and told Jesus. [13] When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. [14] And went forth, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. [15] And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, a desert place, and the time is now past; the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. [16] But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give them to eat [17] And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. [18] He said, Bring them hither [19] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. [20] And all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [21] And they that had eaten about five thousand men, beside women and children. [22] And straightway constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while the multitudes away. [23] And the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, there alone. [24] But the ship now tossed with waves: for the wind contrary. [25] And in the fourth watch of the night unto them, walking on the sea. [26] And when the disciples him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, a spirit; and they cried out for fear. [27] But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; not afraid. [28] And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if thou, bid come unto on the water. [29] And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save [31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
