施洗約翰之死
14 那時候，分封王希律聽到耶穌的消息， 2 就對他的臣僕說：「這個人是施洗者[a]約翰從死人中復活了！所以這些能力在他裡面做工。」
3 原來，希律為了他弟弟[b]菲利普的妻子希羅迪婭的緣故，拘捕了約翰，把他捆起來關進監獄。 4 這是因為約翰一直對他說：「你占有這婦人是不可以的。」 5 希律想要殺約翰，可是怕民眾，因為他們認為約翰是先知。
6 到了希律生日的時候，希羅迪婭的女兒在眾人面前跳舞，使希律非常喜悅， 7 故此王就起誓承諾，無論她求什麼都給她。 8 女兒受母親的指使，就說：「請把施洗者[c]約翰的頭放在盤子裡給我。」 9 王就憂憂愁愁，但因所起的誓，又因一同坐席的人，就下令給她。 10 於是派人去，在監獄裡砍下了約翰的頭， 11 把他的頭放在盤子上，端給女孩，女孩就拿去給她母親。 12 後來，約翰的門徒們前來把遺體領去埋葬了，又去告訴耶穌。
五餅二魚
13 耶穌聽了這事，就上船離開那裡，獨自到一個荒僻的地方去。眾人聽到了，就從各城鎮徒步來跟隨他。 14 耶穌下了船，看見一大群人，就對他們動了憐憫之心，使其中的病人痊癒。
15 黃昏的時候，門徒們來到耶穌面前，說：「這是個荒僻的地方，而且天已經晚了。請遣散人群，好讓他們到村莊去為自己買些食物。」
16 但耶穌說：「他們不需要離開，你們給他們吃的吧。」
17 門徒們對耶穌說：「我們這裡除了五個餅和兩條魚，就沒有什麼了。」
18 耶穌說：「拿到我這裡來。」 19 於是耶穌吩咐眾人坐在草地上，就拿起這五個餅和兩條魚，抬頭望天，祝福了，然後掰開餅，遞給門徒們，他們又分給眾人。 20 大家都吃了，並且吃飽了。他們把剩下的碎塊收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 21 吃的人，不算婦女和孩子，約有五千。
在水面上行走
22 耶穌立刻催促門徒們上船，要他們先往對岸去；這期間，他自己遣散了人群。 23 他遣散了人群以後，就獨自上山去禱告。到了晚上，只有他一個人在那裡。 24 那時，船已經離岸有幾百公尺[d][e]，由於逆風，被波浪沖擊。 25 天快亮的時候[f]，耶穌在湖面[g]上行走，向他們而去。 26 門徒們看見耶穌在湖面上行走，就驚慌不安，說：「是幽靈！」他們害怕得喊叫起來。
27 耶穌立刻對他們說：「鼓起勇氣吧！是我，不要怕。」
28 彼得對他說：「主啊，如果是你，請吩咐我，從水面上走到你那裡去。」
29 耶穌說：「你來吧！」
彼得就從船上下去，在水面上行走向耶穌那裡去。 30 但是，他一看到風極大[h]，就懼怕起來，開始往下沉，於是呼叫說：「主啊，救救我！」
31 耶穌立刻伸手拉住他，說：「小信的人哪，你為什麼疑惑呢？」 32 他們一上船，風就停了。 33 船上的人都[i]拜耶穌，說：「你真是神的兒子！」
在革尼撒勒治病
34 他們渡過去，到革尼撒勒上岸。 35 那裡的人一認出是耶穌，就派人到周圍整個地區，把所有患病的都帶到耶穌那裡， 36 懇求耶穌只要讓他們摸一下他的衣服穗子。凡是摸著的人，都得了救治。

施洗者约翰之死
14 分封王希律听见耶稣的名声， 2 就对臣仆说：“这个人是施洗者约翰！他从死里复活了，所以能够行这些神迹。”
3 原来希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故，拘捕了约翰，把他捆绑起来关在监里。 4 因为约翰曾多次对他说：“你娶这个妇人是不对的。” 5 他想杀掉约翰，但怕触怒百姓，因为他们都认为约翰是先知。
6 在希律的生日那天，希罗底的女儿出来在众人面前跳舞。希律非常高兴， 7 就起誓答应她无论要什么都可以。 8 她受了母亲的指使，说：“请把施洗者约翰的头放在盘子里送给我。” 9 希律感到为难，但既然在众宾客面前起了誓，只好下令给她。 10 他派人到监里砍了约翰的头， 11 放在盘子里送给她，她转送给她母亲。 12 约翰的门徒把尸体领回安葬后，就去告诉耶稣。
13 耶稣听见这个消息，就独自坐船退到一处偏僻的地方。众人得知后，就从各城步行来跟随祂。
耶稣使五千人吃饱
14 耶稣上了岸，看见一大群人，心里怜悯他们，就治好了他们当中的病人。 15 黄昏时，门徒过来对耶稣说：“这里是荒郊野外，天又晚了，请遣散众人，好让他们到村庄去自己买些吃的。”
16 耶稣回答说：“他们不用离开，你们给他们吃的吧。”
17 门徒答道：“我们这里只有五个饼和两条鱼。”
18 耶稣说：“拿来给我。”
19 于是，祂叫众人坐在草地上，然后拿起那五个饼和两条鱼，举目望着天祝谢后，就掰开饼递给门徒，让他们分给众人。 20 大家都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，竟装满了十二个篮子。 21 当时吃饭的，除了妇女和小孩，约有五千男人。
耶稣在水上行走
22 随后，耶稣催门徒上船，叫他们先渡到湖对岸，祂则遣散众人。 23 待众人都离开了，祂就独自上山去祷告，在那里一直待到晚上。
24 那时，门徒的船离岸已远，遇到逆风，船身被波浪撞击得摇摆不定。 25 天将破晓的时候，耶稣从水面上向门徒走去。 26 门徒看见有人在湖面上走，都吓坏了，说：“是幽灵！”他们害怕得又喊又叫。
27 耶稣立刻对他们说：“放心吧！是我，不要怕。”
28 彼得说：“主啊！如果真的是你，就叫我从水面上走到你那里。”
29 耶稣说：“好，你来吧！”
于是，彼得就从船上下去，走在湖面上，要去耶稣那里。 30 他看到风浪很大，就害怕起来，身体开始往下沉，便大喊：“主啊，救我！”
31 耶稣马上伸手拉住他，说：“你信心太小了！为什么怀疑呢？”
32 他们上了船，风浪就平静了。 33 船上的人都敬拜祂，说：“你真是上帝的儿子。”
34 他们渡到湖对岸，来到革尼撒勒。 35 当地的人认出是耶稣，就派人去把附近所有的病人都带到祂面前， 36 求耶稣让他们摸一摸祂衣裳的穗边，所有摸过的病人都好了。

New American Standard Bible
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.

Recalling the Death of John the Baptist
14 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus. 2 He said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He has risen from the dead! That is why these powers are working in him.” 3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 John had been telling him, “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 him as a prophet. 6 But when it was Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced among them. This pleased Herod. 7 So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Although this saddened the king, because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that it be done. 10 He sent the order and had John beheaded in prison. 11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 John’s disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and reported this to Jesus.
Jesus Feeds More Than Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed him on foot from the towns.
14 When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 When evening came, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 They told him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 “Bring them here to me,” he replied. 19 Then he instructed the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. After looking up to heaven, he blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples. The disciples gave the food to the people. 20 They all ate and were filled. They picked up twelve basketfuls of what was left over from the broken pieces. 21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, not even counting women and children.
Jesus Walks on Water
22 Immediately Jesus urged the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed the crowd, he went up onto the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 24 By then the boat was quite a distance from shore, being pounded by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 In the fourth watch of the night,[a] Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and cried out in fear, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once, saying, “Take heart! It is I! Do not be afraid.”
28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”
29 Jesus said, “Come!”
Peter stepped down from the boat, walked on the water, and went toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid. As he began to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God!”
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the shore at Gennesaret. 35 When the men of that place recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding region. They brought to him all who were sick 36 and begged that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. All who touched it were completely cured.
