| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and he said to his attendants, "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4for John had been saying to him: "It is not lawful for you to have her." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and had John beheaded in the prison. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"Bring them here to me," he said. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed. |
