Decapitación de Juan el Bautista(A)
14 En aquel tiempo Herodes, el tetrarca, se enteró de lo que decían de Jesús, 2 y comentó a sus sirvientes: «¡Ese es Juan el Bautista; ha resucitado! Por eso tiene poder para realizar milagros».
3 En efecto, Herodes había arrestado a Juan. Lo había encadenado y metido en la cárcel por causa de Herodías, esposa de su hermano Felipe. 4 Es que Juan había estado diciéndole: «No te es lícito tenerla por mujer». 5 Herodes quería matarlo, pero tenía miedo a la gente, porque consideraban a Juan como un profeta.
6 En el cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías bailó delante de todos; y tanto agradó esto a Herodes 7 que prometió bajo juramento darle cualquier cosa que pidiera. 8 Instigada por su madre, le pidió: «Dame en una bandeja la cabeza de Juan el Bautista».
9 El rey se entristeció; sin embargo, a causa de sus juramentos y en atención a los invitados, ordenó que le dieran lo que pedía 10 y ordenó decapitar a Juan en la cárcel. 11 Llevaron la cabeza en una bandeja y se la dieron a la muchacha, quien se la entregó a su madre. 12 Luego llegaron los discípulos de Juan, recogieron el cuerpo y le dieron sepultura. Después fueron y avisaron a Jesús.
Jesús alimenta a los cinco mil(B)
13 Cuando Jesús recibió la noticia, se retiró él solo en una barca a un lugar solitario. Las multitudes se enteraron y lo siguieron a pie desde los poblados. 14 Cuando Jesús desembarcó y vio tanta gente, tuvo compasión de ellos y sanó a los que estaban enfermos.
15 Al atardecer se le acercaron sus discípulos y dijeron:
—Este es un lugar apartado y ya se hace tarde. Despide a la gente, para que vayan a los pueblos y se compren algo de comer.
16 —No tienen que irse —contestó Jesús—. Denles ustedes mismos de comer.
17 Ellos objetaron:
—No tenemos aquí más que cinco panes y dos pescados.
18 —Tráiganmelos acá —dijo Jesús.
19 Y mandó a la gente que se sentara sobre la hierba. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados y, mirando al cielo, los bendijo. Luego partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos, quienes los repartieron a la gente. 20 Todos comieron hasta quedar satisfechos y los discípulos recogieron doce canastas llenas de pedazos que sobraron. 21 Los que comieron fueron unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar a las mujeres y a los niños.
Jesús camina sobre el agua(C)(D)
22 Enseguida Jesús hizo que los discípulos subieran a la barca y se adelantaran al otro lado, mientras él despedía a la multitud. 23 Después de despedir a la gente, subió a la montaña para orar a solas. Al anochecer, estaba allí él solo 24 y la barca ya estaba bastante lejos[a] de la tierra, zarandeada por las olas, porque el viento le era contrario.
25 En la madrugada,[b] Jesús se acercó a ellos caminando sobre el lago. 26 Cuando los discípulos lo vieron caminando sobre el agua, quedaron aterrados.
—¡Es un fantasma! —dijeron.
Y llenos de miedo comenzaron a gritar. 27 Pero Jesús dijo enseguida:
—¡Cálmense! Soy yo. No tengan miedo.
28 —Señor, si eres tú —respondió Pedro—, mándame que vaya a ti sobre el agua.
29 —Ven —dijo Jesús.
Pedro bajó de la barca y caminó sobre el agua en dirección a Jesús. 30 Pero al sentir el viento fuerte, tuvo miedo y comenzó a hundirse. Entonces gritó:
—¡Señor, sálvame!
31 Enseguida Jesús le tendió la mano y, sujetándolo, lo reprendió:
—¡Hombre de poca fe! ¿Por qué dudaste?
32 Cuando subieron a la barca, el viento se calmó. 33 Los que estaban en la barca lo adoraron diciendo:
—Verdaderamente tú eres el Hijo de Dios.
34 Después de cruzar el lago, desembarcaron en Genesaret. 35 Los habitantes de aquel lugar reconocieron a Jesús y divulgaron la noticia por todos los alrededores. Le llevaban todos los enfermos, 36 le suplicaban que les permitiera tocar siquiera el borde de su manto y quienes lo tocaban quedaban sanos.

How John the Baptist Was Killed
14 At that time Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard the reports about Jesus. 2 So he said to his servants, “Jesus is John the Baptist, who has risen from the dead. That is why he can work these miracles.”
3 Sometime before this, Herod had arrested John, tied him up, and put him into prison. Herod did this because of Herodias, who had been the wife of Philip, Herod’s brother. 4 John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to be married to Herodias.” 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they believed John was a prophet.
6 On Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for Herod and his guests, and she pleased him. 7 So he promised with an oath to give her anything she wanted. 8 Herodias told her daughter what to ask for, so she said to Herod, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 Although King Herod was very sad, he had made a promise, and his dinner guests had heard him. So Herod ordered that what she asked for be done. 10 He sent soldiers to the prison to cut off John’s head. 11 And they brought it on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she took it to her mother. 12 John’s followers came and got his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
More than Five Thousand Fed
13 When Jesus heard what had happened to John, he left in a boat and went to a lonely place by himself. But the crowds heard about it and followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he arrived, he saw a great crowd waiting. He felt sorry for them and healed those who were sick.
15 When it was evening, his followers came to him and said, “No one lives in this place, and it is already late. Send the people away so they can go to the towns and buy food for themselves.”
16 But Jesus answered, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 They said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish.”
18 Jesus said, “Bring the bread and the fish to me.” 19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking to heaven, he thanked God for the food. Jesus divided the bread and gave it to his followers, who gave it to the people. 20 All the people ate and were satisfied. Then the followers filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of food. 21 There were about five thousand men there who ate, not counting women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 Immediately Jesus told his followers to get into the boat and go ahead of him across the lake. He stayed there to send the people home. 23 After he had sent them away, he went by himself up into the hills to pray. It was late, and Jesus was there alone. 24 By this time, the boat was already far away from land. It was being hit by waves, because the wind was blowing against it.
25 Between three and six o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water. 26 When his followers saw him walking on the water, they were afraid. They said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus quickly spoke to them, “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 Peter said, “Lord, if it is really you, then command me to come to you on the water.”
29 Jesus said, “Come.”
And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. 30 But when Peter saw the wind and the waves, he became afraid and began to sink. He shouted, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught Peter. Jesus said, “Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?”
32 After they got into the boat, the wind became calm. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the Son of God!”
34 When they had crossed the lake, they came to shore at Gennesaret. 35 When the people there recognized Jesus, they told people all around there that Jesus had come, and they brought all their sick to him. 36 They begged Jesus to let them touch just the edge of his coat, and all who touched it were healed.
