| [an error occurred while processing this directive] | English Standard Version |
| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4because John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He sent and had John beheaded in the prison, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And he said, “Bring them here to me.” |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well. |
