1. |
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
|
|
2. |
and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.
|
|
3. |
For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.
|
|
4. |
For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
|
|
5. |
And while desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.
|
|
6. |
But when Herod`s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;
|
|
7. |
whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
|
|
8. |
But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
|
|
9. |
And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with him, he commanded it to be given.
|
|
10. |
And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
|
|
11. |
and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother.
|
|
12. |
And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
|
|
13. |
And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard of it followed him on foot from the cities.
|
|
14. |
And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.
|
|
15. |
But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.
|
|
16. |
But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
|
|
17. |
But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
|
|
18. |
And he said, Bring them here to me.
|
|
19. |
And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
|
|
20. |
And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
|
|
21. |
But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
|
|
22. |
And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.
|
|
23. |
And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
|
|
24. |
but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
|
|
25. |
But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
|
|
26. |
And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.
|
|
27. |
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid.
|
|
28. |
And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
|
|
29. |
And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
|
|
30. |
But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
|
|
31. |
And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
|
|
32. |
And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
|
|
33. |
But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God`s Son.
|
|
34. |
And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.
|
|
35. |
And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,
|
|
36. |
and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.
