1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus

1At that time Herod the tetrarch, hearing about the fame of Jesus,

2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

2told his servants, "This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and that's why these miracles are being done by him."

3For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

3Herod had arrested John, bound him with chains, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

4Because John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

4John had been telling him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

5And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

5Although Herod wanted to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, since they regarded John as a prophet.

6But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod.

6But when Herod's birthday celebration was held, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests. She pleased Herod

7Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

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

8So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”

8Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me, right here on a platter, the head of John the Baptist."

9And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

9Under pressure because of his promises and his assembled guests, the king ordered that it be done.

10So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

10So he sent word and had John beheaded in prison.

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

11His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.

12Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

12When John's disciples came, they carried off the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

13When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

13When Jesus heard this, he left that place and went by boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the neighboring towns.

14And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

14When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them and healed their sick.

15When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

15When evening had come, the disciples went to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

16But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

16But Jesus told them, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."

17And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

17They told him, "We don't have anything here except five loaves of bread and two fish."

18He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

18He said, "Bring them to me."

19Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

19Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

20So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

20All of them ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up what was left of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

21Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

21Now those who had eaten were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.

22Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

22Jesus immediately had the disciples get into a boat and cross to the other side ahead of him, while he sent the crowds away.

23And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

23After dismissing the crowds, he went up on a hillside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

24But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

24By this time the boat was in the middle of the sea and was being battered by the waves, because the wind was against them.

25Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.

25Shortly before dawn, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

26And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

26When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and cried out, "It's a ghost!" And they screamed in terror.

27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

27"Have courage!" Jesus immediately told them. "It's me. Stop being afraid!"

28And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

28Peter answered him, "Lord, if it's you, order me to come to you on the water."

29So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

29Jesus said, "Come on!" So Peter got down out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came to Jesus.

30But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

30But when he noticed the strong wind, he was frightened. As he began to sink, he shouted, "Lord, save me!"

31And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

31At once Jesus reached out his hand, caught him, and asked him, "You who have so little faith, why did you doubt?"

32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

32As they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing.

33Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

33Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!"

34When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

34They crossed over and came ashore at Gennesaret.

35And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,

35When the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word throughout that region and brought him everyone who was sick.

36and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

36They kept begging him to let them touch just the tassel of his garment, and everyone who touched it was completely healed.
