Matthew Chapter 14

14:1 At that time ^aa Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,



14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.



14:3 ¶ For ^ab Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.



14:4 For John said unto him, ^ac It is not lawful for thee to have her.



14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, ^ad because they counted him as a prophet.



14:6 But when Herod's ^ae birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.



14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.



14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.



14:9 And the king was sorry: ^af nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her .



14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.



14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.



14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.



14:13 ¶ When ^ag 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.



14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and ^ah was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.



14:15 ¶ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.



14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; ^ai give ye them to eat.



14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.



14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.



14:19 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 ^aj blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.



14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.



14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.



14:22 ¶ And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.



14:23 And ^ak when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: ^al and when the evening was come, he was there alone.



14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.



14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.



14:26 And when the disciples ^am saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.



14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.



14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.



14:29 And he said, Come . And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.



14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.



14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore ^an didst thou doubt?



14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the ^ao wind ceased.



14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou ^ap art the Son of God.



14:34 ¶ And ^aq when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.



14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;



14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
