v1

At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.

v2

And 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.

v3

For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.

v4

For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.

v5

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

v6

But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.

v7

Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.

v8

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

v9

And 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.

v10

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

v11

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

v12

And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

v13

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

v14

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

v15

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

v16

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

v17

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

v18

He said to them: Bring them hither to me.

v19

And when he had commanded the multitudes 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.

v20

And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.

v21

And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.

v22

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

v23

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

v24

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

v25

And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.

v26

And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.

v27

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

v28

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

v29

And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.

v30

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

v31

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

v32

And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.

v33

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

v34

And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.

v35

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

v36

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