Matthew 14
14
1 In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
2 And he said to his servants: "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him."
3 For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
4 For John was telling him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
6 Then, on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.
7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
8 But, having been advised by her mother, she said, "Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist."
9 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.
10 And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.
13 When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.
15 And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: "This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves."
16 But Jesus said to them: "They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves."
17 They answered him, "We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish."
18 He said to them, "Bring them here to me."
19 And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.
21 Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.
25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.
26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: "It must be an apparition." And they cried out, because of fear.
27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: "Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid."
28 Then Peter responded by saying, "Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters."
29 And he said, "Come." And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: "Lord, save me."
31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, "O little in faith, why did you doubt?"
32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: "Truly, you are the Son of God."
34 And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.
36 And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.

Matthew 14
14
1At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, 2and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him. 3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. 4For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 8And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 9And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them which sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; 10and he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21And they that did eat were about five thousand men, beside women an children.
22And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 23And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. 24But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 29And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, to come to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick; 36and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
