Matthew
Chapter 14

14:1 Herod the Tetrarch heard the report of Jesus at that time,

14:2 and said to his young-servants, This is John the Immerser*; he was raised from the dead, and because of this, these powers are working in him.

14:3 For* Herod having taken-hold of John, bound him and placed him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.


14:4 For* John said to him, It is not legal for you to have her.

14:5 And wishing to kill him, but he feared the crowd, because they held him as a prophet.


14:6 Now Herod's birthday being brought together, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst of the court and pleased Herod;

14:7 from where he confessed with an oath to give her whatever she asks of him.

14:8 Now having been pushed forward by her mother, she says, Give me the head of John the Immerser* upon a platter here.


14:9 And the king was sorrowful, but because of his oaths and of those who reclined at the meal together with him, he commanded it to be given.

14:10 And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

14:11 And his head was carried upon a platter, and given to the girl, and she carried it to her mother.

14:12 And his disciples came near and lifted up the body, and buried it, and they went and reported to Jesus. {Mar 6:30-32 & Mat 14:13 & Luk 9:10 & Joh 6:1 East shore of Galilee.}

14:13 And after Jesus heard it, he departed from there in a ship, privately to a desolate place, and after the crowds heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

{Mar 6:33-44 & Mat 14:14-21 & Luk 9:11-17 & Joh 6:2-14.}

14:14 And after Jesus went out, he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

14:15 Now after it became evening, his disciples came near to him, saying, The place is desolate and the hour has already passed away; dismiss the crowds, in order that after they have gone away into the villages, they might buy food for themselves.


14:16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go away; you*, give* them food to eat!

14:17 But they say to him, We do not have anything here except five loaves and two fish.


14:18 Now he said, Bring* them here to me.

14:19 And he commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up to heaven, he gave-thanks and broke them. He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples then gave to the crowds.

14:20 And they all ate and were fully-fed, and they took up what was leftover of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

14:21 Now those eating were approximately five thousand men, plus women and children. {Mar 6:45-56 & Mat 14:22-36 & Joh 6:15-21.}

14:22 And immediately, Jesus urged the disciples to step into the ship, and to precede him to the area beyond-that, until he should dismiss the crowds.

14:23 And having dismissed the crowds, he went-up into the mountain privately to pray. Now after it became evening, he was alone there.

14:24 But the ship was already in the midst of the sea, and was being tormented by the waves; for* the wind was adverse.

14:25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.

14:26 And after the disciples saw him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying, It is an apparition, and they cried out from their fear.


14:27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Have* courage; it is I; do* not be afraid.

14:28 Now Peter having answered to him, said, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you upon the waters.


14:29 Now he said, Come. And Peter went-down from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go toward Jesus.

14:30 But he was afraid, seeing the strong wind, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me!

14:31 Now Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and grabbed him, and says to him, You of small faith, why were you skeptical?


14:32 And after they stepped into the ship, the wind pauses.

14:33 Now those in the ship came to him and, worshiped him, saying, You are truly the Son of God.

14:34 And having ferried over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

14:35 And after the men of that place recognized him, they sent word into the whole region around and brought to him all those who have an ill ness,

14:36 and they were pleading with him in order that they might only touch the hem of his garment and as many as touched it, were cured.
{Mar 7:1-23 & Mat 15:1-20 & Joh 7:1 Galilee, probably Capernaum Spring 29 AD.}
