Matthew 14:8-36

8Having been promptedG4264 by her motherG3384, she saidG5346, “GiveG1325 me hereG5602 on a platterG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.” 9Although he was grievedG3076, the kingG935 commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 becauseG1223 of his oathsG3727, and because of 1his dinnerG4873 guestsG4873. 10He sentG3992 and had JohnG2491 beheadedG607 in the prisonG5438. 11And his headG2776 was broughtG5342 on a platterG4094 and givenG1325 to the girlG2877, and she broughtG5342 it to her motherG3384. 12His disciplesG3101 cameG4334 and tookG142 awayG142 the bodyG4430 and buriedG2290 2it; and they wentG2064 and reportedG518 to JesusG2424.

133NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 about John, He withdrewG402 from thereG1564 in a boatG4143 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117 by HimselfG2398; and when the 4peopleG3793 heardG191 of this, they followedG190 Him on footG3979 from the citiesG4172. 14When He wentG1831 5ashoreG1831, He 6sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793, and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for them and 7healedG2323 their sickG732.

15When it was eveningG3798, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “ThisG3588 placeG5117 is desolateG2048 and the hourG5610 is alreadyG2235 8lateG3928; soG3767 sendG630 the crowdsG3793 awayG630, that they may goG565 into the villagesG2968 and buyG59 foodG1033 for themselvesG1438.” 16But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “They do not needG5532 to goG565 awayG565; you giveG1325 them something to eatG2068!” 17They saidG3004 to Him, “We haveG2192 hereG5602 onlyG3756G1487G3361 9fiveG4002 loavesG740 and twoG1417 fishG2486.” 18And He saidG3004, “BringG5342 them hereG5602 to Me.” 19OrderingG2753 the 10peopleG3793 to 11sitG347 downG347 on the grassG5528, He tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 and the twoG1417 fishG2486, and lookingG308 up towardG1519 heavenG3772, He 12blessedG2127 the food, and breakingG2806 the loavesG740 He gaveG1325 them to the disciplesG3101, and the disciplesG3101 gave them to the crowdsG3793, 20and they allG3956 ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526. They pickedG142 up whatG3588 was leftG4052 overG4052 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801, twelveG1427 fullG4134 13basketsG2894. 21There were aboutG5616 fiveG4000 thousandG4000 menG435 who ateG2068, besidesG5565 womenG1135 and childrenG3813.

2214ImmediatelyG2112 He 15madeG315 the disciplesG3101 getG1684 into the boatG4143 and goG4254 aheadG4254 of Him to the otherG4008 sideG4008, whileG2193 He sentG630 the crowdsG3793 awayG630. 23After He had sentG630 the crowdsG3793 awayG630, 16He wentG305 up on the mountainG3735 by HimselfG2398 to prayG4336; and when it was eveningG3798, He was thereG1563 aloneG3441. 24But the boatG4143 was alreadyG2235 17a longG4183 distanceG4712 from the landG1093, 18batteredG928 by the wavesG2949; for the windG417 was 1920contraryG1727. 25And in 21the 22fourthG5067 watchG5438 of the nightG3571 He cameG2064 to them, walkingG4043 on the seaG2281. 26When the disciplesG3101 sawG3708 Him walkingG4043 on the seaG2281, they were terrifiedG5015, and saidG3004, “It is 23a ghostG5326!” And they criedG2896 out 24in fearG5401. 27But immediatelyG2117 JesusG2424 spokeG2980 to them, sayingG3004, “25TakeG2293 courageG2293, it is I; 26do not be afraidG5399.”

28PeterG4074 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, ifG1487 it is You, commandG2753 me to comeG2064 to You on the waterG5204.” 29And He saidG3004, “ComeG2064!” And PeterG4074 gotG2597 out of the boatG4143, and walkedG4043 on the waterG5204 and cameG2064 towardG4314 JesusG2424. 30But seeingG991 the windG417, he became frightenedG5399, and beginningG757 to sinkG2670, he criedG2896 out, “LordG2962, saveG4982 me!” 31ImmediatelyG2112 JesusG2424 stretchedG1614 out His handG5495 and tookG1949 holdG1949 of him, and saidG3004 to him, “27You of littleG3640 faithG3640, whyG1519G5101 did you doubtG1365?” 32When they gotG305 into the boatG4143, the windG417 stoppedG2869. 33And thoseG3588 who were in the boatG4143 worshipedG4352 Him, sayingG3004, “You are certainlyG230 28God’sG2316 SonG5207!”

3429When they had crossedG1276 overG1276, they cameG2064 to landG1093 at 30GennesaretG1082. 35And when the menG435 of that placeG5117 31recognizedG1921 Him, they sentG649 word into allG3650 that surroundingG4066 districtG4066 and broughtG4374 to Him allG3956 who were sickG2560; 36and they imploredG3870 Him that they might justG3441 touchG681 32the fringeG2899 of His cloakG2440; and as manyG3745 as 33touchedG681 it were curedG1295.
