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.

¹At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Iesus,¹

²And 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

⁴For Iohn said vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her.⁴

⁵And when he would haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet.⁵

⁶But when Herods birth day was kept, the daughter of Herodias daunced before them, and pleased Herode.

⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath, to giue her whatsoeuer she would aske.

⁸And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Giue me heere Iohn Baptists head in a charger.

⁹And the king was sorie: neuerthelesse for the othes sake, and them which sate with him at meate, he commanded it to be giuen her:

¹⁰And he sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison.

¹¹And his head was brought in a charger, and giuen to the Damsell: and she brought it to her mother.

¹²And 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

¹⁴And Iesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.

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

¹⁶But Iesus said vnto them, They neede not depart; giue yee them to eate.

¹⁷And they say vnto him, We haue heere but fiue loaues, and two fishes.

¹⁸He said, Bring them hither to me.

¹⁹And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, & tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looking vp to heauen, hee blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his Disciples, and the Disciples to the multitude.

²⁰And they did all eat, & were filled: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained twelue baskets full.

²¹And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men, beside women and children.

²²¶ And straightway Iesus constrained his Disciples to get into a ship, and to goe before him vnto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²³And 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

²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the Sea, tossed with waues: for the wind was contrary.

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the Sea.

²⁶And when the Disciples saw him walking on the Sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit: and they cried out for feare.

²⁷But straightway Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good cheere: it is I, be not afraid.

²⁸And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.

²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Iesus.

³⁰But when he saw the wind boysterous, he was afraid: and beginning to sinke, he cried, saying, Lord saue me.³⁰

³¹And immediately Iesus stretched foorth his hand, and caught him, and said vnto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

³³Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the sonne of God.

³⁴¶ And when they were gone ouer, they came into þ^e land of Genesaret.³⁴

³⁵And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that countrey round about, and brought vnto him al that were diseased,

³⁶And besought him, that they might onely touch the hemme of his garment; and as many as touched, were made perfectly whole.
