1 At that time καιρῷ kairō G2540 Herod Ἡρῴδης Hērōdēs G2264 the tetrarch heard G191 of the fame of Jesus Ἰησοῦ Iēsou G2424 , 2 and said G3004 to his servants παισὶν paisin G3816 , This is G1510 John Ἰωάννης Iōannēs G2491 the baptist βαπτιστής· baptistēs G910 : he is G1510 risen G1453 from the dead νεκρῶν, nekrōn G3498 , and because of this these works ἐνεργοῦσιν energousin G1754 of power δυνάμεις dunameis G1411 display their force in him . 3 For Herod Ἡρῴδης Hērōdēs G2264 had seized G2902 John Ἰωάννην Iōannēn G2491 , and had bound G1210 him and put ἀπέθετο apetheto G659 him in prison φυλακῇ phulakēa G5438 on account διὰ dia G1223 of Herodias Ἡρῳδιάδα Hērōdiada G2266 the wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 of Philip Φιλίππου Philippou G5376 his brother ἀδελφοῦ adelphou G80 . 4 For John Ἰωάννης Iōannēs G2491 said ἔλεγεν elegen G3004 to him , It is not lawful ἔξεστίν exestin G1832 for thee to have her . 5 And [ while ] desiring G2309 to kill ἀποκτεῖναι apokteinai G615 him , he feared ἐφοβήθη ephobēthē G5399 the crowd G3793 , because they held εἶχον.¶ eichon G2192 him for a prophet προφήτην prophētēn G4396 . 6 But when Herod's birthday Γενεσίοις Genesiois G1077 was celebrated, the daughter θυγάτηρ thugatēr G2364 of Herodias Ἡρῳδιάδος Hērōdiados G2266 danced G3738 before them , and pleased G700 Herod G2264 ; 7 whereupon he promised with oath ὅρκου horkou G3727 to give δοῦναι dounai G1325 her whatsoever she should ask αἰτήσηται. aitēsētai G154 . 8 But she , being set on by her mother μητρὸς mētros G3384 , says φησὶν phēsin G5346 , Give δός dos G1325 me here ὧδε hōde G5602 upon a dish the head κεφαλὴν kephalēn G2776 of John Ἰωάννου Iōannou G2491 the baptist βαπτιστοῦ. baptistou G910 . 9 And the king βασιλεὺς basileus G935 was grieved G3076 ; but on account διὰ dia G1223 of the oaths ὅρκους horkous G3727 , and those lying at table with [ him ], he commanded ἐκέλευσεν ekeleusen G2753 [ it ] to be given G1325 . 10 And he sent G3992 and beheaded ἀπεκεφάλισεν apekephalisen G607 John Ἰωάννην Iōannēn G2491 in the prison φυλακῇ. phulakēa G5438 ; 11 and his head κεφαλὴ kephalē G2776 was brought G5342 upon a dish, and was given G1325 to the damsel, and she carried [ it ] to her mother μητρὶ mētri G3384 . 13 And Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 , having heard G191 it , went away G575 thence by ship G4143 to a desert place τόπον topon G5117 apart. And the crowds ὄχλοι ochloi G3793 having heard G191 [ of it ] followed ἠκολούθησαν ēkolouthēsan G190 him on foot from the cities G4172 . 14 And going G1831 out he saw G3708 a great πολὺν polun G4183 crowd ὄχλον ochlon G3793 , and was moved with compassion ἐσπλαγχνίσθη esplagchnisthē G4697 about them , and healed ἐθεράπευσεν etherapeusen G2323 their infirm. 20 And all ate G2068 and were filled G5526 , and they took G142 up what was over and above of fragments κλασμάτων, klasmatōn G2801 twelve δώδεκα dōdeka G1427 hand-baskets full πλήρεις. plēreis G4134 . 25 But in the fourth watch φυλακῇ phulakēa G5438 of the night νυκτὸς nuktos G3571 he went off to them , walking περιπατῶν peripatōn G4043 on the sea θάλασσαν.¶ thalassan G2281 . 28 And Peter Πέτρος Petros G4074 answering Ἀποκριθεὶς Apokritheis G611 him said G3004 , Lord κύριε, kurie G2962 , if it be G1510 thou, command me to come ἐλθεῖν elthein G2064 to thee upon the waters ὕδατα. hudata G5204 . 31 And immediately Εὐθέως Eutheōs G2112 Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 stretched ἐκτείνας ekteinas G1614 out his hand χεῖρα cheira G5495 and caught hold ἐπελάβετο epelabeto G1949 of him , and says λέγει legei G3004 to him , O thou of little faith, why τί ti G5101 didst thou doubt? 33 But those in the ship G4143 came and did homage to him , saying λέγοντες· legontes G3004 , Truly ἀληθῶς alēthōs G230 thou art God's Son υἱὸς huios G5207 . 34 And having crossed over they came G2064 to the land γῆν gēn G1093 of Gennesaret Γεννησαρέτ.
