Herodes låter avrätta Johannes döparen
14 När kung Herodes hörde vad man berättade om Jesus
2 sa han till sina män: Det måste vara Johannes döparen, som har kommit tillbaka från de döda. Det är därför han kan göra dessa under.
3 Herodes hade nämligen arresterat Johannes och kastat honom i fängelse därför att Herodias, hans älskarinna, ville det. Hon var egentligen gift med hans bror Filippos,
4 och Johannes hade sagt att det var fel av Herodes att leva ihop med henne.
5 Helst av allt skulle Herodes ha velat döda Johannes, men han var rädd att det då skulle bli upplopp eftersom alla människor trodde att Johannes var en profet.
6 När så Herodes hade sin födelsedag dansade Herodias dotter inför gästerna. Hennes dans behagade Herodes så till den grad
7 att han lovade att ge henne vad hon än begärde.
8 Hennes mor viskade då till henne: Be om Johannes döparens huvud på en bricka.
9 Kungen blev förskräckt, men på grund av sitt löfte och eftersom han inte ville ta tillbaka det inför gästerna gav han order om att hon skulle få det.
10 Därför halshöggs Johannes i fängelset,
11 och man lade huvudet på en bricka och gav det till flickan och hon bar det till sin mor.
12 Sedan kom Johannes lärjungar för att hämta kroppen och begrava den, och de gick till Jesus för att berätta vad som hänt.
Jesus ger mat åt fem tusen
13 När Jesus fick höra nyheten for han iväg med en båt till en avlägsen plats för att vara för sig själv. Men folkskarorna såg vart han var på väg, och från många byar följde man efter honom till fots.
14 När Jesus steg ur båten väntade en stor folkmassa på honom, och han fylldes av medlidande med dem och botade dem som var sjuka.
15 När det blev kväll kom lärjungarna till honom och sa: Det är dags för kvällsmat för länge sedan, och det finns inget att äta här i öknen. Skicka iväg folket, så att de kan gå till byarna runt om och köpa mat.
16 Men Jesus svarade: Det behövs inte, ni kan väl ge dem mat!
17 Kan vi?, utropade de. Vi har bara fem brödstycken och två fiskar!
18 Ta hit dem, sa han.
19 Sedan bad han människorna att sätta sig i gräset. Och han tog de fem brödstyckena och de två fiskarna, såg upp mot himlen och tackade Gud för dem. Sedan bröt han itu brödstyckena och gav dem till lärjungarna, och de delade ut dem till folket.
20 Och alla åt tills de blev mätta. Och när man till slut samlade ihop det som var över blev det tolv fulla korgar.
21 Det var omkring fem tusen män i folkskaran den dagen, förutom kvinnor och barn.
Jesus går på vattnet
22 Omedelbart därefter bad Jesus lärjungarna att sätta sig i båten och fara över till andra sidan sjön. Själv stannade han kvar för att se till att folket gick hem.
23-24 Sedan gick han upp på ett berg för att be. Så blev det natt, och ute på sjön råkade lärjungarna i svårigheter. Det blåste upp, och de hade all möda att se till så att båten inte kantrade.
25 Omkring klockan fyra på morgonen kom Jesus till dem, gående på vattnet!
26 De skrek av skräck, för de trodde det var ett spöke.
27 Men Jesus talade genast till dem och sa: Var inte rädda! Det är jag!
28 Då ropade Petrus till honom: Herre, om det verkligen är du, så låt mig få komma till dig på vattnet.
29 Javisst, sa Jesus. Kom!Petrus klev då över båtkanten och började gå på vattnet mot Jesus.
30 Men när han såg de höga vågorna blev han rädd och började sjunka.Rädda mig, Herre! skrek han.
31 Genast räckte Jesus ut handen och tog tag i honom. Är din tro så liten, sa Jesus, varför tvivlade du?
32 Och när de klivit i båten lade sig vinden.
33 Och de andra som satt där i båten föll då ner för honom och sa: Du måste vara Guds Son!
Jesus botar alla som rör vid honom
34 De for sedan över sjön och gick i land vid Gennesaret.
35 Nyheten om deras ankomst spred sig som en löpeld, och man rusade runt och uppmanade alla att komma och ta med sig sina sjuka så att de kunde bli botade.
36 Och de sjuka bad honom om att de åtminstone skulle få röra vid hans kläder, och alla som gjorde det blev friska.

Matthew 14
21st Century King James Version
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus
2 and said unto his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works show forth themselves in him.”
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 For John said unto him, “It is not lawful for thee to have her.”
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,
7 whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being beforehand instructed by her mother, said, “Give me here John the Baptist’s head on a charger.”
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and those who sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought on a charger and given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard of it, He departed thence by boat into a desert place apart. And when the people had heard thereof, they followed Him on foot out of the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15 And when it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a desert place and the time is now past. Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves victuals.”
16 But Jesus said unto them, “They need not depart. Give ye them to eat.”
17 And they said unto Him, “We have here but five loaves and two fishes.”
18 And He said, “Bring them hither to Me.”
19 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to Heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they all ate and were filled. And they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full.
21 And those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 And straightway Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a boat and to go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up onto a mountain apart to pray. And when evening had come, He was there alone.
24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit”; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, “Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid.”
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water.”
29 And He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him and said unto him, “O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?”
32 And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “In truth Thou art the Son of God.”
34 And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place learned of Him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto Him all who were diseased.
36 And they besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

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.
