Decapitación de Juan el Bautista
14 Cuando la fama de Jesús llegó a oídos del rey Herodes Antipas, que gobernaba la región, 2 este dijo a sus hombres:
«¡De seguro es Juan el Bautista que ha resucitado! ¡Por eso puede hacer milagros!».
3 Este Herodes era el que había prendido a Juan y lo había encadenado en la cárcel por exigencias de Herodías, que había sido esposa de su hermano Felipe. 4 Herodías odiaba a Juan, porque este se había atrevido a decirle al rey que era incorrecto que se casara con ella. 5 Herodes lo habría matado en seguida, pero temía que el pueblo se le rebelara, ya que la gente consideraba que Juan era profeta. 6 Sucedió entonces que durante la celebración del cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó para el rey, y a este le agradó tanto 7 que juró darle cualquier cosa que pidiera. 8 Mal aconsejada por su madre, la muchacha pidió que le trajeran la cabeza de Juan el Bautista en una bandeja. 9 Al rey no le agradó nada aquella petición, pero como había hecho juramento y como no quería romperlo delante de sus invitados, mandó que la complacieran.
10 Al poco rato decapitaron a Juan en la prisión 11 y le ofrecieron a la muchacha la cabeza en una bandeja, y ella se la llevó a su madre.
12 Después los discípulos de Juan fueron, lo enterraron y corrieron a contarle a Jesús lo sucedido.
Jesús alimenta a los cinco mil
13 Cuando le dieron a Jesús la noticia, él tomó una barca y se fue a un lugar desierto donde pudiera estar a solas. Pero la gente vio hacia dónde se dirigía, y muchos fueron a pie hasta allá desde las ciudades vecinas. 14 Cuando Jesús llegó, encontró que una vasta multitud lo esperaba y, compadecido, sanó a los enfermos.
15 Al atardecer, los discípulos se le acercaron y le dijeron:
―Ya pasó la hora de la cena y aquí en el desierto no hay nada que comer. Despide a la gente para que vaya por los pueblos a comprar alimentos.
16 ―¿Por qué? —les respondió Jesús—. ¡Denles ustedes de comer!
17 ―¿Pero con qué, si no tenemos más que cinco panecillos y dos pescados?
18 ―¡Pues tráiganlos!
19 La gente se fue sentando en la hierba a petición de Jesús. Él, tomando los cinco panes y los dos pescados, miró al cielo, los bendijo, y comenzó a partir los panes y a darlos a los discípulos para que los distribuyeran entre la gente. 20 Nadie se quedó sin comer. ¡Y hasta sobraron doce cestas de comida, 21 a pesar de que había cerca de cinco mil hombres, además de las mujeres y los niños!
Jesús camina sobre el agua
22 Mientras despedía a la multitud, Jesús les pidió a los discípulos que se subieran a la barca y se fueran al otro lado del lago. 23-24 Al quedarse solo, Jesús subió al monte a orar.
La noche sorprendió a los discípulos en medio de las aguas agitadas y luchando contra vientos contrarios. 25 A las tres de la mañana Jesús se les acercó, caminando sobre las aguas turbulentas. 26 Los discípulos, al verlo, gritaron llenos de espanto:
―¡Es un fantasma!
27 Pero Jesús inmediatamente les gritó:
―¡Calma! ¡No tengan miedo! ¡Soy yo!
28 ―Señor —le respondió Pedro—, si realmente eres tú, ordena que también yo camine sobre el agua y vaya hasta donde tú estás.
29 ―Está bien; ¡ven!
Sin vacilar, Pedro salió por la borda y caminó sobre las aguas hacia Jesús. 30 Pero al percatarse de lo que hacía y de la inmensidad de las olas que se le echaban encima, sintió miedo y comenzó a hundirse.
―¡Señor, sálvame! —gritó horrorizado.
31 Extendiendo la mano, Jesús lo sujetó y le dijo:
―¡Hombre de poca fe! ¿Por qué dudaste?
32 Cuando subieron a la barca, los vientos cesaron. 33 Los otros discípulos, maravillados, se arrodillaron y le dijeron:
―¡No cabe duda de que eres el Hijo de Dios!
34 Desembarcaron en Genesaret. 35 La noticia de la llegada de Jesús se esparció rápidamente por la ciudad. Numerosas personas corrieron de un lugar a otro avisando que podían llevarle los enfermos para que los sanara. 36 Muchos le rogaban que les dejara tocar aunque sólo fuera el borde de su manto; y los que lo tocaban, sanaban.

John the Baptist Beheaded
14 (A)At that [a]time (B)Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “(C)This is John the Baptist; [b]he has risen 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 And although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they were regarding [c]John as (H)a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of (I)Herodias danced [d]before them and pleased (J)Herod, 7 so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Now having been prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of [e]his dinner guests. 10 And he sent 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 And his disciples came and took away the body and buried [f]it; and they went and reported to Jesus.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
13 (K)Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by Himself; and when the crowds heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when He went [g]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 desolate and the hour is already [h]late; so send the crowds away, that they may 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 But they *said to Him, “We have here only (N)five loaves and two fish.” 18 And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 And ordering the crowds to [i]sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking 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. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full (P)baskets. 21 And there were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Sea
22 (Q)Immediately He [j]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 And 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 many [k]stadia away from the land, [l]being battered by the waves; for the wind was [m](S)against them. 25 And in (T)the [n]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26 Now when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is (U)a ghost!” And they cried out [o]in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “(V)Take courage, [p]it is I; (W)do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered and said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And getting out of the boat, Peter walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “(X)You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And 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)And when they had crossed over, they came to land at (AA)Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place [q]recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick; 36 and they were pleading with Him that they might just touch (AB)the fringe of His garment; and as many as (AC)touched it were cured.

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.
