BLB MAT Chapter 14

14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news of Jesus, 2 and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and because of this, the miraculous powers are working in him." 3 For Herod, having seized John, bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 For John had been saying to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." 5 Although wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet. 6 But on the birthday of Herod having been celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod, 7 whereupon he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she should ask. 8 And having been urged on by her mother she says, "Give me here upon a platter the head of John the Baptist." 9 And the king having been grieved, on account of the oaths and those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given. 10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples having come, took the body and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus. 13 And Jesus having heard, withdrew from there by boat to a secluded place by Himself. And the crowds having heard of it, followed Him on foot from the towns. 14 And having gone out, He saw a great crowd and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick. 15 And evening having come, the disciples came to Him saying, "This place is desolate, and the time already is gone by. Therefore dismiss the crowds, that having gone into the villages, they might buy food for themselves." 16 And Jesus said to them, "They have no need to go away. You give to them something to eat." 17 And they say to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish." 18 And He said, "Bring them here to Me." 19 And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. And having broken, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. 20 And all ate and were satisfied, and they took up that being over and above of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full. 21 And those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 22 And immediately He compelled the disciples to enter into the boat and to go before Him to the other side, until He would have dismissed the crowds. 23 And having dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. And evening having arrived, He was there alone, 24 and the boat being now many stadia from the land, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night, He went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And the disciples having seen Him walking on the sea, were troubled saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying, "Take courage! It is I. Fear not." 28 And Peter answering said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You upon the waters." 29 And He said, "Come." And Peter having descended from the boat, walked upon the water and came to Jesus. 30 And seeing the charging wind, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out saying, "Lord, save me!" 31 And immediately Jesus having stretched out the hand, took hold of him and says to him, "O Little faith, why did you waver?" 32 And they having entered into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God." 34 And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And the men of that place having recognized Him, sent to all that surrounding region, and brought to Him all those being sick, 36 and were begging Him that only they might touch the fringe of His garment, and as many as touched were cured.
