John the Baptist Beheaded

(Mar 6:14–29; Luk 9:7–9 )

Mat 14:1At that [fn]time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

Mat 14:2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; [fn]he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Mat 14:3

Mat 14:3For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

Mat 14:4

Mat 14:4For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

Mat 14:5

Mat 14:5Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded [fn]John as a prophet.

Mat 14:6

Mat 14:6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced [fn]before them and pleased Herod,

Mat 14:7

Mat 14:7so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

Mat 14:8

Mat 14:8Having been prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

Mat 14:9

Mat 14:9Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of [fn]his dinner guests.

Mat 14:10

Mat 14:10He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

Mat 14:11

Mat 14:11And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

Mat 14:12

Mat 14:12His disciples came and took away the body and buried [fn]it; and they went and reported to Jesus.

Five Thousand Fed

(Mar 6:30–44; Luk 9:10–17; Jhn 6:1–14 )

Mat 14:13

Mat 14:13Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the [fn]people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

Mat 14:14

Mat 14:14When He went [fn]ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.

Mat 14:15

Mat 14:15When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already [fn]late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

Mat 14:16

Mat 14:16But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!”

Mat 14:17

Mat 14:17They *said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

Mat 14:18

Mat 14:18And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

Mat 14:19

Mat 14:19Ordering the [fn]people to [fn]sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,

Mat 14:20

Mat 14:20and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.

Mat 14:21

Mat 14:21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Water

(Mar 6:45–52; Jhn 6:15–21 )

Mat 14:22

Mat 14:22Immediately He [fn]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

Mat 14:23

Mat 14:23After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.

Mat 14:24

Mat 14:24But the boat was already [fn]a long distance from the land, [fn]battered by the waves; for the wind was [fn]contrary.

Mat 14:25

Mat 14:25And in the [fn]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.

Mat 14:26

Mat 14:26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out [fn]in fear.

Mat 14:27

Mat 14:27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”

Mat 14:28

Mat 14:28Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

Mat 14:29

Mat 14:29And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Mat 14:30

Mat 14:30But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Mat 14:31

Mat 14:31Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Mat 14:32

Mat 14:32When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

Mat 14:33

Mat 14:33And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”

(Mar 6:53–56 )

Mat 14:34

Mat 14:34When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

Mat 14:35

Mat 14:35And when the men of that place [fn]recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

Mat 14:36

Mat 14:36and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.
