25	And immediately she came in again with eagerness to the king, and said, I desire that thou wouldst give me directly the head of John the baptist in a dish.	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	And the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,	And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

31	And He said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.	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	And they went away privately in a ship into a desert 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	And the people saw them departing, and many took notice of them, and ran thither on foot from all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto 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	And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.

37	But He answered them, Do ye give them something to eat. And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat?	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	But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, 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	And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass:	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.

41	And when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all.

48	and He saw them labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary:) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.	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,
49	But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.	but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,	but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
50	And He immediately spake to them, and saith, Be of good courage, it is I, be not afraid.	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	And He went up into the ship to them, and the wind ceased, and they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and wondered: not considering the miracle of the loaves,	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,
52	for their heart was stupified.	for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.	for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
53	And they passed over and came to the country of Gennesaret, and put to shore:	When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.	When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.

55	and carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.	and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was.	They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
56	And wherever He came into their towns, or cities, or villages, they laid the sick in the streets, and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.	And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment.
