22	And the daughter of the same Herodias came in, & daunced, and pleased Herod, and them that sate at table together, the King sayd vnto the mayde, Aske of me what thou wilt, and I will giue it thee.	For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”	When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
23	And he sware vnto her, Whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I will giue it thee, euen vnto the halfe of my kingdome.	And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”	And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24	So she went forth, & said to her mother, What shal I aske? And she said, Iohn Baptists head.	And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”	She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25	Then she came in straightway with haste vnto the King, & asked, saying, I would that thou shouldest giue me euen now in a charger the head of Iohn Baptist.	And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”	At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26	Then the King was very sory: yet for his othes sake, and for their sakes which sate at table with him, he would not refuse her.	And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.	The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27	And immediately the King sent the hangman, and gaue charge that his head shoulde be brought in. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,	And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison	So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,
28	And brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the maide, and the maide gaue it to her mother.	and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.	and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

31	And he sayd vnto them, Come ye apart into the wildernes, & rest a while: for there were many commers and goers, that they had not leasure to eate.	And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.	Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
32	So they went by ship out of the way into a desart place.	And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.	So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
33	But the people sawe them when they departed, and many knewe him, and ran a foote thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and assembled vnto him.	Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.	But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34	Then Iesus went out, and sawe a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheepe which had no shepheard: and he began to teach them many things.	When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.	When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35	And when the day was nowe farre spent, his disciples came vnto him, saying, This is a desart place, and nowe the day is farre passed.

36	Let them depart, that they may goe into the countrey and townes about, and buy them bread: for they haue nothing to eate.	Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”	Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37	But he answered, and said vnto them, Giue yee them to eate; they said vnto him, Shall we goe, and buy two hundreth peny worth of bread, and giue them to eate?	But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”	But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”
38	Then he sayde vnto them, Howe many loaues haue ye? Goe and looke; when they knewe it, they sayd, Fiue, and two fishes.	And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”	“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39	So he commanded them to make them all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse.	Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.	Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40	Then they sate downe by rowes, by hundreds, and by fifties.	So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.	So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all.	Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.

43	And they tooke vp twelue baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.	And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.	and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44	And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men.	And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.	The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
45	And straightway he caused his disciples to goe into the ship, and to goe before vnto the other side vnto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,	He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,

50	For they all saw him, and were sore afrayd: but anon he talked with them, & said vnto them, Be ye of good comfort: it is I, be not afrayd.	for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”	because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
51	Then he went vp vnto them into the ship, and the winde ceased, and they were much more amased in them selues, and marueiled.	And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,	Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
