The Death of John the Baptist
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus; 2 and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.” 3 For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Hero′di-as, his brother Philip’s wife;[a] 4 because John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet. 6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Hero′di-as danced before the company, and pleased Herod, 7 so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; 10 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 the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.
Feeding the Five Thousand
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 As he went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land,[b] beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; 30 but when he saw the wind,[c] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
34 And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes′aret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent round to all that region and brought to him all that were sick, 36 and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 At that time Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,
2 And he said to his attendants, This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers [a]of performing miracles are at work in Him.
3 For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison [to [b]stow him out of the way] on account and for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4 For John had said to him, It is not lawful or right for you to have her.(A)
5 Although he wished to have him put to death, he was afraid of the people, for they regarded John as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [before the company] and pleased and fascinated Herod,
7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 And she, being put forward and prompted by her mother, said, Give me the head of John the Baptist right here on a [c]platter.
9 And the king was distressed and sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered it to be given her;
10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in on a [d]platter and given [e]to the little maid, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And John’s disciples came and took up the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there privately in a boat to a solitary place. But when the crowds heard of it, they followed Him [by land] on foot from the towns.
14 When He went ashore and saw a great throng of people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy) for them and cured their sick.
15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, This is a remote and barren place, and the day is now over; send the throngs away into the villages to buy food for themselves.
16 Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat.
17 They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.
18 He said, Bring them here to Me.
19 Then He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve [[f]small hand] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
21 And those who ate were about 5,000 men, not including women and children.
22 Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds.
23 And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone.
24 But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 And in the fourth watch [between 3:00—6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.
27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I Am! Stop being afraid!(B)
28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.
29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.
30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!
31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!
34 And when they had crossed over to the other side, they went ashore at Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent around into all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick
36 And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were perfectly restored.(C)

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.

헤롯이 예수의 소문을 듣다
(막 6:14-29; 눅 9:7-9)
14 그때에 갈릴리 지방을 다스리던 헤롯[a]이 예수에 관한 소문을 듣게 되었다. 2 헤롯은 신하들에게 말하였다. “그 사람은 세례자 요한이다. 요한이 죽었다가 살아난 것이 분명하다. 그래서 그 사람이 그런 기적들을 행할 수 있는 것이다.”
세례자 요한의 죽음
3 헤롯은 오래 전에 동생 빌립의 아내 헤로디아의 일로 요한을 붙잡아 옥에 가둔 일이 있었다. 4 요한이 헤롯에게 “당신이 동생의 아내와 사는 것은 옳지 않은 일이오.” 하고 여러 번 말하였기 때문이다. 5 그 때문에 헤롯은 요한을 죽이려고 하였으나, 요한을 예언자로 믿고 있는 백성들이 두려워서 뜻을 이루지 못하였다.
6 헤롯의 생일이 되었다. 헤로디아의 딸이 헤롯과 손님들 앞에서 춤을 추어 헤롯을 기쁘게 해 주었다. 7 헤롯은 헤로디아의 딸에게 원하는 것은 무엇이든 다 들어주겠다고 약속하였다. 8 그러자 헤로디아가 딸을 시켜 이렇게 말하게 하였다. “세례자 요한의 머리를 쟁반에 받쳐서 이 자리로 가져다주세요.” 9 왕은 마음이 괴로웠지만 이미 여러 손님들 앞에서 약속하였기 때문에 헤로디아의 딸이 원하는 대로 해 주라고 명령하였다. 10 그리고 사람을 보내어 감옥에 있는 요한의 머리를 베어 오게 하였다. 11 요한의 머리를 쟁반에 담아서 헤로디아의 딸에게 주니, 소녀는 그것을 제 어머니 헤로디아에게 갖다 주었다. 12 요한의 제자들이 와서 요한의 주검을 거두어다가 묻었다. 그러고 나서 예수께 가서 이 일을 알려드렸다.
오천 명이 넘는 사람을 먹이시다
(막 6:30-44; 눅 9:10-17; 요 6:1-14)
13 예수께서는 요한의 죽음에 대해 들으시고 그곳을 떠나 배를 타고 혼자서 아무도 없는 곳으로 가셨다. 사람들이 이 소문을 듣고 여러 동네에서 나와, 걸어서 예수께서 계신 곳으로 모여들었다. 14 예수께서 배에서 내려 모여든 많은 사람을 보시고 불쌍한 마음이 들어 그들 가운데 있는 병자들을 낫게 해 주셨다.
15 저녁이 되어 예수의 제자들이 예수께 와서 말하였다. “여기는 외딴 곳이고 이미 시간도 늦었습니다. 그러니 사람들을 마을로 돌려보내어 제각기 먹을 것을 사 먹도록 하는 것이 어떻겠습니까?”
16 그러나 예수께서는 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “저 사람들을 돌려보낼 것 없이 너희가 먹을 것을 주어라.”
17 제자들이 말하였다. “지금 우리에게 있는 것이라고는 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리뿐입니다.”
18 예수께서 말씀하셨다. “그 빵과 물고기를 내게로 가져오너라.” 19 그리고는 사람들을 풀밭에 앉으라고 말씀하셨다. 그러고 나서 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리를 들고, 하늘을 우러러 감사 기도를 드리셨다. 그리고 빵을 떼어 제자들에게 주셨다. 제자들은 그 빵을 사람들에게 나누어 주었다. 20 사람들은 모두 배불리 먹었다. 그리고 먹고 남긴 것을 모아 담으니, 열두 바구니에 가득 찼다. 21 음식을 먹은 사람의 수는 여자와 어린아이를 빼고도 오천 명이나 되었다.
물 위를 걸으시다
(막 6:45-52; 요 6:16-21)
22 예수께서는 당신이 사람들을 헤쳐 보내시는 동안에, 제자들에게 서둘러 배를 타고 호수 건너편에 먼저 가 있으라고 이르셨다. 23 예수께서는 무리를 헤쳐 보내시고 난 뒤에 조용히 기도하려고 산으로 올라가셨다. 날이 저물었는데도 예수께서는 그곳에 혼자 계셨다. 24 그 사이에 제자들이 탄 배는 이미 뭍에서 멀리 나가 있었는데, 거슬러 불어오는 거친 바람을 맞아 몹시 시달리고 있었다.
25 이른 새벽에 예수께서 물 위를 걸어 제자들이 탄 배로 오셨다. 26 예수의 제자들이 물 위를 걸어오시는 예수를 보고 “유령이다!” 하며 겁에 질려 소리를 질렀다.
27 그러자 예수께서 제자들에게 말씀하셨다. “안심하라! 나다. 두려워하지 말아라!” 28 베드로가 대답하였다. “주여, 정말로 선생님이시면, 저더러 물 위를 걸어서 선생님께 오라고 말씀해 주십시오.”
29 예수께서 말씀하셨다. “이리 오너라!”
베드로는 배에서 내려가 물 위를 걸어 예수께 다가갔다. 30 그러나 베드로는 바람이 세게 부는 것을 보고 덜컥 겁이 났다. 그러자 그는 물 속으로 빠져들면서 “주님, 살려 주십시오!” 하고 외쳤다.
31 예수께서 곧 손을 내밀어 베드로를 잡으셨다. 그리고 말씀하셨다. “믿음이 적은 사람아, 어찌하여 의심하였느냐?”
32 예수와 베드로가 배에 오르자 바람이 멎었다. 33 배에 있던 제자들은 예수에게 경배하며 말하였다. “선생님은 참으로 하나님의 아들이십니다!”
많은 사람의 병을 고쳐 주시다
(막 6:53-56)
34 그들은 호수를 건너 게네사렛[b]에 닿았다. 35 게네사렛 사람들은 예수를 알아보고, 예수께서 오셨다는 소식을 가까운 여러 마을에 두루 알렸다. 사람들은 아픈 사람들을 모두 예수께 데리고 왔다. 36 그들은 아픈 사람들이 예수의 옷자락만이라도 만지게 해 달라고 간청하였다. 예수의 옷자락을 만진 사람은 모두 나았다.
