CHAP. XIV.
1 Herods opinion of Christ. 3 Wherefore Iohn Baptist was beheaded. 13 Iesus departeth into a desert place: 15 Where hee feedeth fiue thousand men with fiue loaues, and two fishes: 22 he walketh on the Sea to his Disciples: 34 and landing at Gennezaret, healeth the sicke by the touch of the hemme of his garment.
1 At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Iesus,1
2 And said vnto his seruants, This is Iohn the Baptist, hee is risen from the dead, and therfore mighty workes doe shew foorth themselues in him.2
3 ¶ For Herode had layd hold on Iohn, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife.3
4 For Iohn said vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her.4
5 And when he would haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet.5
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath, to giue her whatsoeuer she would aske.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Giue me heere Iohn Baptists head in a charger.
10 And he sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and giuen to the Damsell: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his Disciples came, and took vp the body, and buried it, and went and told Iesus.
13 ¶ When Iesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship, into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foote, out of the cities.13
15 ¶ And when it was euening, his Disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may goe into the villages, and buy themselues victuals.15
16 But Iesus said vnto them, They neede not depart; giue yee them to eate.
17 And they say vnto him, We haue heere but fiue loaues, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
21 And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men, beside women and children.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went vp into a mountaine apart to pray: and when the euening was come, he was there alone:23
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the Sea, tossed with waues: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the Sea.
27 But straightway Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good cheere: it is I, be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.
30 But when he saw the wind boysterous, he was afraid: and beginning to sinke, he cried, saying, Lord saue me.30
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
34 ¶ And when they were gone ouer, they came into þe land of Genesaret.34
