Matthew 14 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

For when Herod ^G2264 had John ^G2491 arrested ^G2902, he bound ^G1210 him and put ^G659 him in prison ^G5438 because ^G1223 of Herodias ^G2266, the wife ^G1135 of his brother ^G80 Philip ^G5376.

But when Herod’s ^G2264 birthday ^G1077 came ^G1096, the daughter ^G2364 of Herodias ^G2266 danced ^G3738 [fn]before ^G1722 G3319 them and pleased ^G700 Herod ^G2264,

Now ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 heard ^G191 about John, He withdrew ^G402 from ^G1564 there ^G1564 in a boat ^G4143 to a desolate ^G2048 place ^G5117 by Himself ^G2398; and when the crowds ^G3793 heard ^G191 of this, they followed ^G190 Him on foot ^G3979 from the cities ^G4172.

Now when it was evening ^G3798, the disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 to Him and said ^G3004, “This ^G3588 place ^G5117 is desolate ^G2048 and the hour ^G5610 is already ^G2235 [fn]late ^G3928; so ^G3767 send ^G630 the crowds ^G3793 away ^G630, that they may go ^G565 into the villages ^G2968 and buy ^G59 food ^G1033 for themselves ^G1438.”

Immediately ^G2112 He [fn]made ^G315 the disciples ^G3101 get ^G1684 into the boat ^G4143 and go ^G4254 ahead ^G4254 of Him to the other ^G4008 side ^G4008, while ^G2193 He sent ^G630 the crowds ^G3793 away ^G630.

And Peter ^G4074 answered ^G611 and said ^G3004 to Him, “Lord ^G2962, if ^G1487 it is You, command ^G2753 me to come ^G2064 to You on the water ^G5204.”

And when they had crossed ^G1276 over ^G1276, they came ^G2064 to land ^G1093 at Gennesaret ^G1082.
