¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, Cross refs

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. Cross refs

³ For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. Cross refs

⁴ For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. Cross refs

⁵ And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. Cross refs

⁶ But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Cross refs

⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. Cross refs

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

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

¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. Cross refs

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

¹⁶ But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. Cross refs

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

¹⁸ He said, Bring them hither to me. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Cross refs

³² And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Cross refs

³³ Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Cross refs

³⁴ And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. Cross refs

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; Cross refs

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