Matt 14:8 Having been prompted by her mother, she *said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
Matt 14:9 Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.
Matt 14:10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
Matt 14:11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
Matt 14:12 His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.
Matt 14:13 ¶ Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
Matt 14:14 When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.
Matt 14:15 ¶ When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."
Matt 14:16 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!"
Matt 14:17 They *said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."
Matt 14:18 And He said, "Bring them here to Me."
Matt 14:19 Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,
Matt 14:20 and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.
Matt 14:21 There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Matt 14:22 ¶ Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.
Matt 14:23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.
Matt 14:24 But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
Matt 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.
Matt 14:26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear.
Matt 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."
