| At that time Herod the tetrarch
heard of the fame of Jesus, | 14 And king Herod heard of him,
(for his name was spread abroad,)
and he said, That John the Baptist
was risen from the dead, and therefore
mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. |
| 2 And said unto his servants,[172] This
is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works
do shew forth themselves in him. | 15 Others said, That it is Elias.
And others said, That it is a prophet,
or as one of the prophets. |
| 16 But when Herod heard thereof,
he said, It is John, whom I beheaded:
he is risen from the dead. |
| 6 But when Herod's birth-day was
kept,[173] the daughter of Herodias danced
before them, and pleased Herod. | 21 And when a convenient day
was come, that Herod on his birth-day
made a supper to his lords, high
captains, and chief estates of Galilee: |
| 22 And when the daughter of the
said Herodias came in, and danced,
and pleased Herod, and them that sat
with him, the king said unto the damsel,
Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt,
and I will give it thee. |
| 7 Whereupon he promised with an
oath to give her whatsoever she would
ask. | 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. |
| 24 And she went forth, and said
unto her mother, What shall I ask?
And she said, The head of John the
Baptist. |
| 8 And she, being before instructed
of her mother, said, Give me here
John Baptist's head in a charger. | 25 And she came in straightway
with haste unto the king, and asked,
saying, I will that thou give me, by
and by, in a charger, the head of John
the Baptist. |
| 9 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. | 26 And the king was exceeding
sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for
their sakes which sat with him, he
would not reject her. |
| 10 And he sent, and beheaded John
in the prison. | 27 And immediately the king sent
an executioner, and commanded his
head to be brought: and he went and
beheaded him in the prison; |
| 11 And his head was brought in a
charger, and given to the damsel: and
she brought it to her mother. | 28 And brought his head in a
charger, and gave it to the damsel;
and the damsel gave it to her mother. |
| 12 And his disciples came, and took
up the body, and buried it, and went
and told Jesus. | 29 And when his disciples heard
of it, they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb. |

| 13 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. | 30 And the apostles gathered themselves
together unto Jesus, and told
him all things, both what they had
done, and what they had taught. |
| 14 And Jesus went forth, and saw
a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he
healed their sick. | 31 And he said unto them, Come
ye yourselves apart into a desert
place, and rest awhile: for there
were many coming and going,[174] and
they had no leisure so much as to eat. |
| 32 And they departed into a desert
place by ship privately. |
| 33 And the people saw them departing,
and many knew him, and
ran afoot thither out of all cities, and
outwent them, and came together unto
him. |
| 34 And Jesus, when he came out,
saw much people, and was moved
with compassion toward them, because
they were as sheep not having
a shepherd: and he began to teach
them many things. |
| 15 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. | 35 And when the day was now far
spent, his disciples came unto him,
and said, This is a desert place, and
now the time is far passed: |
| 36 Send them away, that they may
go into the country round about, and
into the villages, and buy themselves
bread: for they have nothing to eat. |
| 16 But Jesus said unto them, They
need not depart; give ye them to eat. | 37 He answered and said unto
them, Give ye them to eat. And
they say unto him, Shall we go and
buy two hundred pennyworth of bread,
and give them to eat? |
| 17 And they say unto him, We
have here but five loaves, and two
fishes. | |
| 18 He said, Bring them hither to
me. | 38 He saith unto them, How many
loaves have ye? go and see. And
when they knew, they say, Five, and
two fishes. |
| 19 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. | 39 And he commanded them to
make all sit down by companies upon
the green grass. |
| 40 And they sat down in ranks, by
hundreds, and by fifties. |
| 41 And when he had taken the
five loaves, and the two fishes, he
looked up to heaven, and blessed,
and brake the loaves, and gave them
to his disciples to set before them;
and the two fishes divided he among
them all. |
| 20 And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full. | 42 And they did all eat, and were
filled. |
| 43 And they took up twelve baskets
full of the fragments, and of the fishes. |
| 21 And they that had eaten were
about five thousand men, besides
women and children. | 44 And they that did eat of the
loaves, were about five thousand men. |

| CH. IX. 10-17. | CH. VI. 1-14. |
| 10 And the apostles, when they
were returned, told him all that they
had done. And he took them, and
went aside privately into a desert
place, belonging to the city called
Bethsaida. | After these things Jesus went over
the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of
Tiberias. |
| 2 And a great multitude followed him,
because they saw his miracles which
he did on them that were diseased. |
| 11 And the people, when they
knew it, followed him: and he received
them, and spake unto them
of the kingdom of God, and healed
them that had need of healing. | 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain,
and there he sat with his disciples. |
| 4 And the passover, a feast of the
Jews, was nigh. |
| 5 When Jesus then lifted up his
eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip,[175] Whence
shall we buy bread that these may eat? |
| 6 (And this he said to prove him:
for he himself knew what he would do.) |
| 12 And when the day began to
wear away, then came the twelve,
and said unto him, Send the multitude
away, that they may go into the
towns and country round about, and
lodge, and get victuals: for we are
here in a desert place. | 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them
may take a little. |
| 8 One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, |
| 9 There is a lad here, which hath
five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? |
| 13 But he said unto them, Give ye
them to eat. And they said, We have
no more but five loaves and two fishes;
except we should go and buy meat for
all this people. | 10 And Jesus said, Make the men
sit down. (Now there was much grass in the place.) So the men sat
down in number about five thousand. |
| 14 (For they were about five thousand
men.) And he said to his disciples,
Make them sit down by fifties[176] in
a company. | 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and
when he had given thanks, he distributed
to the disciples, and the disciples
to them that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes, as much as they would. |
| 15 And they did so, and made them
all sit down. | 12 When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost. |
| 16 Then he took the five loaves,
and the two fishes, and looking up to
heaven, he blessed them, and brake,
and gave to the disciples to set before
the multitude. | 13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley
loaves, which remained over and above
unto them that had eaten. |
| 17 And they did eat, and were all
filled: and there was taken up of
fragments that remained to them
twelve baskets. | 14 Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
This is of a truth that Prophet that
should come into the world. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| Ch. XIV. 22-36. | CH. VI. 45-56. |
| 22 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. | 45 And straightway he constrained
his disciples to get into the ship, and
to go to the other side before unto
Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. |
| 23 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. | 46 And when he had sent them
away, he departed into a mountain to pray. |
| 24 But the ship was now in the
midst of the sea, tossed with waves:
for the wind was contrary. | 47 And when even was come, the
ship was in the midst of the sea, and
he alone on the land. |
| 25 And in the fourth watch of the
night Jesus went unto them, walking
on the sea. | 48 And he saw them toiling in
rowing; for the wind was contrary
unto them: and about the fourth
watch of the night he cometh unto
them, walking upon the sea, and
would have passed by them. |
| 26 And when the disciples saw
him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and
they cried out for fear. | 49 But when they saw him walking
upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out. |
| 27 But straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying, Be of good cheer;
it is I; be not afraid. | 50 (For they all saw him, and
were troubled.) And immediately
he talked with them, and saith unto
them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be
not afraid. |
| 28 And Peter answered him and
said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water. | |
| 29 And he said, Come. And when
Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to
Jesus. | |
| 30 But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning
to sink, he cried, saying, Lord,
save me. | 51 And he went up unto them into
the ship; and the wind ceased; and
they were sore amazed in themselves
beyond measure, and wondered. |
| 31 And immediately Jesus stretched
forth his hand, and caught him, and
said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt? | 52 For they considered not the
miracle of the loaves; for their heart
was hardened. |
| 32 And when they were come into
the ship, the wind ceased. | 53 And when they had passed over,
they came into the land of Gennesaret,
and drew to the shore. |
| 33 Then they that were in the ship
came and worshipped him, saying, Of
a truth thou art the Son of God. | 54 And when they were come out
of the ship, straightway they knew
him, |
| 34 And when they were gone over,
they came into the land of Gennesaret. | 55 And ran through that whole
region round about, and began to carry
about in beds those that were sick,
where they heard he was. |
| 35 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; | 56 And whithersoever he entered,
into villages, or cities, or country,
they laid the sick in the streets, and
besought him that they might touch,
if it were but the border of his garment:
and as many as touched him
were made whole. |
| 36 And besought him that they
might only touch the hem of his garment:
and as many as touched him were
made perfectly whole. | |

| CH. VI. 15-21. | |
| When Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take him
by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself
alone. | |
| 16 And when even was now come,
his disciples went down unto the sea, | |
| 17 And entered into a ship, and
went over the sea toward Capernaum.
And it was now dark, and Jesus was
not come to them. | |
| 18 And the sea arose by reason of
a great wind that blew. | |
| 19 So when they had rowed about
five and twenty or thirty furlongs,
they see Jesus walking on the sea,
and drawing nigh unto the ship: and
they were afraid. | |
| 20 But he saith unto them, It is I;
be not afraid. | |
| 21 Then they willingly received
him into the ship: and immediately
the ship was at the land whither they
went. | |
