John the Baptist Beheaded
14 [a](A)At that time [b](B)Herod [c]the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “(C)This is John the Baptist; he himself has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 For when (D)Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him (E)in prison because of (F)Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 For John had been saying to him, “(G)It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded [d]John as (H)a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of (I)Herodias danced [e]before them and pleased (J)Herod, 7 so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 And after being prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths and [f]his dinner guests. 10 He sent word and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 [g]John’s disciples came and took away the body and buried [h]it; and they went and reported to Jesus.
Five Thousand Men Fed
13 (K)Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the [i]people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 When He came [j]ashore, He (L)saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and (M)healed their sick.
15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!” 17 They *said to Him, “We have nothing here except (N)five loaves and two fish.” 18 And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 And ordering the crowds to [k]sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He (O)blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full (P)baskets. 21 There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 (Q)Immediately afterward He compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 After He had sent the crowds away, (R)He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24 But the boat was already [l]a long distance from the land, [m]battered by the waves; for the wind was [n](S)contrary. 25 And in (T)the [o]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is (U)a ghost!” And they cried out [p]in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “(V)Take courage, [q]it is I; (W)do not be afraid.”
28 Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if [r]it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “(X)You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly (Y)God’s Son!”
34 (Z)When they had crossed over, they came to land at (AA)Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place [s]recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding region and brought to Him all who were sick; 36 and they pleaded with Him that they might just touch (AB)the [t]border of His cloak; and all who (AC)touched it were cured.
Tradition and Commandment
15 (AD)Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus (AE)from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they (AF)do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘(AG)Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘(AH)The one who speaks evil of father or mother is to [u]be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been [v]given to God,” 6 he is not to [w]honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:
8 ‘(AI)This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as (AJ)doctrines the commandments of men.’”
10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand! 11 (AK)It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”
12 Then the disciples came and *said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were [x]offended when they heard this statement?” 13 But He answered and said, “(AL)Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone; (AM)they are blind guides [y]of blind people. And (AN)if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”
The Heart of Man
15 Peter [z]said to Him, “(AO)Explain the parable to us.” 16 [aa]Jesus said, “Are you also still lacking in understanding? 17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is [ab]eliminated? 18 But (AP)the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person. 19 (AQ)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and [ac]slanderous statements. 20 These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21 (AR)Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of (AS)Tyre and (AT)Sidon. 22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (AU)Son of David; my daughter is severely (AV)demon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [ad]at us!” 24 But He answered and said, “I was sent only to (AW)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and (AX)began [ae]to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 Yet He answered and said, “It is not [af]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, (AY)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed [ag]at once.
Healing Crowds
29 (AZ)Departing from there, Jesus went along (BA)the Sea of Galilee, and after going up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And [ah]large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and (BB)He healed them. 31 So the crowd was astonished as they saw those who were unable to speak talking, those with impaired limbs [ai]restored, those who were limping walking around, and those who were blind seeing; and they (BC)glorified the God of Israel.
Four Thousand Men Fed
32 (BD)Now Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “(BE)I feel compassion for the [aj]people, because they [ak]have remained with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.” 33 The disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And He directed the [al]people to [am]sit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and after (BF)giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large (BG)baskets full. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into (BH)the boat and came to the region of (BI)Magadan.
Pharisees and Sadducees Test Jesus
16 (BJ)The (BK)Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and putting Jesus to the test, they (BL)asked Him to show them a [an]sign from heaven. 2 But He replied to them, “[ao](BM)When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (BN)You know how to discern the [ap]appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times? 4 (BO)An evil and adulterous generation wants a [aq]sign; and so a [ar]sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
5 And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and (BP)beware of the [as]leaven of the (BQ)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “(BR)You men of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet understand nor remember (BS)the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you picked up? 10 Nor (BT)the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets you picked up? 11 How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But (BU)beware of the [at]leaven of the (BV)Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the [au]leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the (BW)Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter’s Confession of Christ
13 (BX)Now when Jesus came into the region of (BY)Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that (BZ)the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say (CA)John the Baptist; and others, [av](CB)Elijah; and still others, [aw]Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you yourselves say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are (CC)the [ax]Christ, (CD)the Son of (CE)the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, (CF)Simon [ay]Barjona, because (CG)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are [az](CH)Peter, and upon this [ba]rock I will build My church; and the gates of (CI)Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you (CJ)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (CK)whatever you [bb]bind on earth [bc]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you [bd]loose on earth [be]shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 (CL)Then He gave the disciples strict orders that they were to tell no one that He was (CM)the [bf]Christ.
Jesus Foretells His Death
21 (CN)From that time [bg]Jesus began to [bh]point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to (CO)suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day. 22 And yet Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “[bi]God forbid it, Lord! This shall never [bj]happen to You!” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, (CP)Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on [bk]God’s purposes, but men’s.”
Discipleship Is Costly
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, (CQ)take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For (CR)whoever wants to save his [bl]life will lose it; but whoever loses his [bm]life for My sake will find it. 26 For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but [bn]forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the (CS)Son of Man (CT)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and (CU)will then repay every person according to his [bo]deeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the (CV)Son of Man (CW)coming in His kingdom.”

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)
14 At that time Herod(B) the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,(C) 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist;(D) he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison(E) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(F) 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”(G) 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.(H)
6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded(I) in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.(J) Then they went and told Jesus.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(K)(L)
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them(M) and healed their sick.(N)
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves(O) of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(P) Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water(Q)(R)
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.(S) Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(T) they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(U) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(V)
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(W) he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(X)
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak,(Y) and all who touched it were healed.
That Which Defiles(Z)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(AA)
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](AB) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](AC) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.(AD)’[c](AE)”
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(AF) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(AG)
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(AH) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](AI) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(AJ)
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(AK)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(AL) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(AM) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(AN) 20 These are what defile a person;(AO) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(AP)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(AQ) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(AR) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(AS)
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(AT)
25 The woman came and knelt before him.(AU) “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(AV) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(AW)(AX)(AY)
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.(AZ) 31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.(BA)
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(BB) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them(BC) and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(BD) 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.
The Demand for a Sign(BE)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(BF) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(BG)
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[e](BH) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(BI) Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(BJ)
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(BK) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(BL) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(BM) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(BN)
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(BO)
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(BP) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(BQ)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(BR)
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(BS) but by my Father in heaven.(BT) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[f](BU) and on this rock I will build my church,(BV) and the gates of Hades[g] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(BW) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[h] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[i] loosed in heaven.”(BX) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(BY) that he was the Messiah.
Jesus Predicts His Death(BZ)
21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(CA) and suffer many things(CB) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(CC) and that he must be killed(CD) and on the third day(CE) be raised to life.(CF)
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(CG) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(CH) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[j] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(CI) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(CJ) is going to come(CK) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(CL)
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
