Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 014
014:001
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
014:002
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife
014:003
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her
014:004
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude, because they counted him as a prophet
014:005
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod
014:006
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask
014:007
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
here John Baptist's head in a charger
014:008
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
014:009
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison
014:010
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother
014:011
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
and went and told Jesus
014:012
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
014:013
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick
014:014
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
014:015
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
to eat
014:016
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes
014:017
He said, Bring them hither to me
014:018
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
014:019
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full
014:020
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children
014:021
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
014:022
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
014:023
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary
014:024
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea
014:025
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear
014:026
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid
014:027
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water
014:028
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus
014:029
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me
014:030
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
didst thou doubt
014:031
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased
014:032
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God
014:033
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret
014:034
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
014:035
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole
