14Matthew 14

1At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.Select Matthew 14:1

2And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.Select Matthew 14:2

3For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife.Select Matthew 14:3

4For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.Select Matthew 14:4

5And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.Select Matthew 14:5

6But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.Select Matthew 14:6

7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.Select Matthew 14:7

8But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.Select Matthew 14:8

9And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.Select Matthew 14:9

10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.Select Matthew 14:10

11And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.Select Matthew 14:11

12And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.Select Matthew 14:12

13Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.Select Matthew 14:13

14And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.Select Matthew 14:14

15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now passed: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.Select Matthew 14:15

16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.Select Matthew 14:16

17They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.Select Matthew 14:17

18Who said to them: Bring them hither to me.Select Matthew 14:18

19And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he 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 multitudes.Select Matthew 14:19

20And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.Select Matthew 14:20

21And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.Select Matthew 14:21

22And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.Select Matthew 14:22

23And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.Select Matthew 14:23

24But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.Select Matthew 14:24

25And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.Select Matthew 14:25

26And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.Select Matthew 14:26

27And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.Select Matthew 14:27

28And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.Select Matthew 14:28

29And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus.Select Matthew 14:29

30But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.Select Matthew 14:30

31And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?Select Matthew 14:31

32And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.Select Matthew 14:32

33And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.Select Matthew 14:33

34And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.Select Matthew 14:34

35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.Select Matthew 14:35

36And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.Select Matthew 14:36
