Johannes Döparens död
14 (A) Vid den tiden fick landsfursten Herodes[a] höra ryktet om Jesus, 2 och han sade till sina tjänare: "Det är Johannes Döparen. Han har uppstått från de döda, och det är därför dessa krafter verkar i honom."
3 (B) Herodes hade nämligen låtit gripa och binda Johannes och sätta honom i fängelse på grund av Herodias[b], hustru till hans bror Filippus. 4 Johannes hade sagt till Herodes: "Det är inte tillåtet[c] för dig att ha henne." 5 (C) Herodes ville döda honom, men han var rädd för folket eftersom de ansåg att Johannes var en profet.
6 Så kom Herodes födelsedag. Herodias dotter dansade inför gästerna, och Herodes blev så förtjust 7 att han lovade med ed att han skulle ge henne vad hon än bad om. 8 Hon uppmanades då av sin mor att säga: "Ge mig Johannes Döparens huvud här på ett fat!"
9 Kungen blev bedrövad, men för edens och gästernas skull befallde han att hon skulle få det. 10 Han lät halshugga Johannes i fängelset. 11 Johannes huvud bars in på ett fat och gavs åt flickan, och hon bar det till sin mor.
12 Johannes lärjungar kom och hämtade den döda kroppen och begravde den. Sedan gick de och berättade det för Jesus.
Jesus mättar fem tusen
13 (D) När Jesus hörde detta, drog han sig undan därifrån med båt till en öde plats där de kunde vara för sig själva. Men folket fick höra det och följde efter honom till fots från städerna. 14 När han steg ur båten såg han en stor skara människor, och han förbarmade sig över dem och botade de sjuka bland dem.
15 (E) På kvällen kom lärjungarna till honom och sade: "Platsen här är ödslig och timmen är redan sen. Skicka i väg folket så att de kan gå bort till byarna och köpa sig mat." 16 Jesus sade till dem: "De behöver inte gå härifrån. Ge ni dem att äta." 17 De svarade: "Vi har inget annat här än fem bröd och två fiskar." 18 Han sade: "Hämta dem hit till mig."
19 Sedan befallde han folket att slå sig ner i gräset. Han tog de fem bröden och de två fiskarna, såg upp mot himlen, tackade Gud[d], bröt bröden och gav dem till lärjungarna, och de gav dem till folket. 20 Alla åt och blev mätta, och man plockade tolv korgar fulla med bitarna som blivit över. 21 De som hade ätit var omkring fem tusen män, förutom kvinnor och barn.
Jesus går på vattnet
22 (F) Strax därefter befallde han lärjungarna att stiga i båten och fara i förväg över till andra sidan sjön, medan han själv sände i väg folket. 23 (G) När han hade skickat i väg dem, gick han upp på berget för att få vara för sig själv och be.
När det blev kväll var han ensam där. 24 Båten var redan långt[e] från land och hårt ansatt av vågorna, eftersom de hade motvind. 25 Mot slutet av natten[f] kom Jesus till dem, gående på sjön. 26 När lärjungarna fick se honom gå på sjön, blev de förskräckta och sade: "Det är ett spöke!" Och de skrek av rädsla. 27 Men genast sade Jesus till dem: "Var lugna! Det Är Jag[g]. Var inte rädda."
28 Petrus svarade: "Herre, om det är du, så befall mig att komma till dig på vattnet." 29 Han sade: "Kom!" Petrus steg ur båten och gick på vattnet fram till Jesus. 30 (H) Men när han såg hur stark vinden var, blev han rädd. Han började sjunka och ropade: "Herre, rädda mig!" 31 Genast räckte Jesus ut handen och grep tag i honom och sade: "Så lite tro du har! Varför tvivlade du?" 32 De steg i båten och vinden lade sig. 33 (I) Och de som var i båten tillbad honom och sade: "Du är verkligen Guds Son!"
Sjuka förs till Jesus
34 När de hade kommit över sjön lade de till i trakten av Gennesaret. 35 Männen på platsen kände igen honom och sände ut bud i hela området, och man förde till honom alla som var sjuka 36 (J) och bad honom att de bara skulle få röra vid hörntofsen på hans mantel. Och alla som rörde vid honom blev botade.

The Death of John the Baptist(A)
14 At that time Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus. 2 “He is really John the Baptist, who has come back to life,” he told his officials. “That is why he has this power to perform miracles.”
3 (B)For Herod had earlier ordered John's arrest, and he had him tied up and put in prison. He had done this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. 4 (C)For some time John the Baptist had told Herod, “It isn't right for you to be married to Herodias!” 5 Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid of the Jewish people, because they considered John to be a prophet.
6 On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced in front of the whole group. Herod was so pleased 7 that he promised her, “I swear that I will give you anything you ask for!”
8 At her mother's suggestion she asked him, “Give me here and now the head of John the Baptist on a plate!”
9 The king was sad, but because of the promise he had made in front of all his guests he gave orders that her wish be granted. 10 So he had John beheaded in prison. 11 The head was brought in on a plate and given to the girl, who took it to her mother. 12 John's disciples came, carried away his body, and buried it; then they went and told Jesus.
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand(D)
13 When Jesus heard the news about John, he left there in a boat and went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard about it, and so they left their towns and followed him by land. 14 Jesus got out of the boat, and when he saw the large crowd, his heart was filled with pity for them, and he healed their sick.
15 That evening his disciples came to him and said, “It is already very late, and this is a lonely place. Send the people away and let them go to the villages to buy food for themselves.”
16 “They don't have to leave,” answered Jesus. “You yourselves give them something to eat!”
17 “All we have here are five loaves and two fish,” they replied.
18 “Then bring them here to me,” Jesus said. 19 He ordered the people to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, and gave thanks to God. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 Everyone ate and had enough. Then the disciples took up twelve baskets full of what was left over. 21 The number of men who ate was about five thousand, not counting the women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water(E)
22 Then Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people away. 23 After sending the people away, he went up a hill by himself to pray. When evening came, Jesus was there alone; 24 and by this time the boat was far out in the lake, tossed about by the waves, because the wind was blowing against it.
25 Between three and six o'clock in the morning Jesus came to the disciples, walking on the water. 26 When they saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. “It's a ghost!” they said, and screamed with fear.
27 Jesus spoke to them at once. “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don't be afraid!”
28 Then Peter spoke up. “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.”
29 “Come!” answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. 30 But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. “Save me, Lord!” he cried.
31 At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, “What little faith you have! Why did you doubt?”
32 They both got into the boat, and the wind died down. 33 Then the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus. “Truly you are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret(F)
34 They crossed the lake and came to land at Gennesaret, 35 where the people recognized Jesus. So they sent for the sick people in all the surrounding country and brought them to Jesus. 36 They begged him to let the sick at least touch the edge of his cloak; and all who touched it were made well.

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.
