Revised Literal Translation

1AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG3588G2540 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG3588G5076 heardG191 of the fameG3588G189 of JesusG2424, 2AndG2532 saidG3004 untoG3588G3816 hisG846 servantsG3588G3816, ThisG3778 isG1510 JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910; heG846 is risenG1453 fromG575 the deadG3498; andG2532 thereforeG1223 mighty worksG3588G1411 do shew forth themselvesG1754 inG1722 himG846.

3ForG1063 HerodG2264 had laid hold onG2902 JohnG3588G2491, and boundG1210 himG846, andG2532 putG5087 him inG1722 prisonG5438 forG1223 Herodias’ sakeG2266, hisG846 brotherG3588G80 Philip’sG5376 wifeG3588G1135. 4ForG1063 JohnG3588G2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4771 to haveG2192 herG846. 5AndG2532 whenG2309 heG846 would haveG2309 put him to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the multitudeG3588G3793, becauseG3754 they countedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396. 6But whenG1161 Herod’sG3588G2264 birthdayG1077 was keptG71, the daughterG3588G2364 of HerodiasG3588G2266 dancedG3738 beforeG1722 themG3319, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG3588G2264. 7WhereuponG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 herG846 whatsoeverG3739 sheG1437 would askG154. 8AndG1161 she, being before instructedG4264 ofG5259 herG846 motherG3588G3384, saidG5346, GiveG1325 meG1473 hereG5602 JohnG2491 Baptist’sG3588G910 headG3588G2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094. 9AndG2532 the kingG3588G935 was sorryG3076: neverthelessG1161 forG1223 the oath’s sakeG3588G3727, andG2532 them which sat with him at meatG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her. 10AndG2532 he sentG3992, and beheadedG607 JohnG3588G2491 inG1722 the prisonG3588G5438. 11AndG2532 hisG846 headG3588G2776 was broughtG5342 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 givenG1325 to the damselG3588G2877: andG2532 she broughtG5342 it toG3588G3384 herG846 motherG3588G3384. 12AndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 cameG4334, and took upG142 the bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 buriedG2290 itG846, andG2532 wentG2064 and toldG518 JesusG3588G2424.

13WhenG2532 JesusG3588G2424 heardG191 of it, he departedG402 thenceG1564 byG1722 shipG4143 intoG1519 a desertG2048 placeG5117 apartG2398: and whenG2532 the peopleG3588G3793 had heardG191 thereof, they followedG190 himG846 on footG3979 out ofG575 the citiesG3588G4172. 14AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 went forthG1831, and sawG3708 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 was moved with compassionG4697 towardG1909 themG846, andG2532 he healedG2323 theirG846 sickG732.

15AndG1161 when it wasG1096 eveningG3798, hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 cameG4334 to himG846, sayingG3004, This isG1510 a desertG2048 placeG3588G5117, andG2532 the timeG3588G5610 isG3928 nowG2235 pastG3928; sendG630 the multitudeG3588G3793 awayG630, thatG2443 they mayG59 goG565 intoG1519 the villagesG3588G2968, and buyG59 themselvesG1438 victualsG1033. 16ButG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto themG846, TheyG2192G565 needG5532 notG3756 departG2192G565; giveG1325 yeG4771 themG846 to eatG5315. 17AndG1161 they sayG3004 unto himG846, We haveG2192 hereG5602 butG1487 fiveG4002 loavesG740, andG2532 twoG1417 fishesG2486. 18He saidG3004, BringG5342 themG846 hitherG5602 to meG1473. 19AndG2532 he commandedG2753 the multitudeG3588G3793 to sit downG347 onG1909 the grassG3588G5528, andG2532 tookG2983 theG740 fiveG4002 loavesG740, andG2532 theG2486 twoG1417 fishesG2486, and looking upG308 toG1519 heavenG3588G3772, he blessedG2127, andG2532 brakeG2806, and gaveG1325 the loavesG3588G740 toG3588G3101 his disciplesG3588G3101, andG1161 the disciplesG3101 to the multitudeG3588G3793. 20AndG2532 they didG5315 allG3956 eatG5315, andG2532 were filledG5526: andG2532 they took upG142 of the fragmentsG3588G2801 that remainedG4052 twelveG1427 basketsG2894 fullG4134. 21AndG1161 they that had eatenG2068 wereG1510 aboutG5616 five thousandG4000 menG435, besideG5565 womenG1135 andG2532 childrenG3813.

22AndG2532 straightwayG2112 JesusG3588G2424 constrainedG315 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 to getG1684 intoG1519 a shipG3588G4143, andG2532 to go beforeG4254 himG846 untoG1519 the other sideG4008, whileG2193 he sentG630 the multitudesG3588G3793 awayG630. 23AndG2532 when he had sentG630 the multitudesG3588G3793 awayG630, he went upG305 intoG1519 a mountainG3588G3735 apartG2398 to prayG4336: and whenG1161 the eveningG3798 was comeG1096, he wasG1510 thereG1563 aloneG3441. 24ButG1161 the shipG4143 wasG1510 nowG2235 in the midstG3319 of the seaG3588G2281, tossedG928 withG5259 wavesG3588G2949: forG1063 the windG3588G417 wasG1510 contraryG1727. 25AndG1161 in the fourthG5067 watchG5438 of the nightG3588G3571 JesusG3588G2424 wentG565 untoG4314 themG846, walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG3588G2281. 26And whenG2532 the disciplesG3588G3101 sawG3708 himG846 walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG3588G2281, they were troubledG5015, sayingG3004, It isG1510 a spiritG5326; andG2532 they cried outG2896 forG575 fearG3588G5401. 27ButG1161 straightwayG2112 JesusG3588G2424 spakeG2980 unto themG846, sayingG3004, Be of good cheerG2293; it isG1510 IG1473; beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399. 28AndG1161 PeterG3588G4074 answeredG611 himG846 and saidG3004, LordG2962, ifG1487 it beG1510 thouG4771, bidG2753 meG1473 comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4771 onG1909 the waterG3588G5204. 29AndG1161 he saidG3004, ComeG2064. And whenG2532 PeterG3588G4074 was come downG2597 outG575 of the shipG3588G4143, he walkedG4043 onG1909 the waterG3588G5204, to goG2064 toG4314 JesusG3588G2424. 30ButG1161 when he sawG991 the windG3588G417 boisterousG2478, he was afraidG5399; andG2532 beginningG756 to sinkG2670, he criedG2896, sayingG3004, LordG2962, saveG4982 meG1473. 31AndG1161 immediatelyG2112 JesusG3588G2424 stretched forthG1614 his handG3588G5495, and caughtG1949 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou of little faithG3640, whereforeG5101 didst thou doubtG1365? 32AndG2532 when theyG846 were comeG1684 intoG1519 the shipG3588G4143, the windG3588G417 ceasedG2869. 33ThenG1161 they that wereG3588 inG1722 the shipG3588G4143 cameG2064 and worshippedG4352 himG846, sayingG3004, Of a truthG230 thou artG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.

34AndG2532 when they were gone overG1276, they cameG2064 intoG1519 the landG3588G1093 of GennesaretG1082. 35And whenG2532 the menG3588G435 of thatG1565 placeG3588G5117 had knowledge ofG1921 himG846, they sent outG649 intoG1519 allG3650 thatG1565 country round aboutG4066, andG2532 broughtG4374 unto himG846 allG3956 that wereG2192 diseasedG2560; 36AndG2532 besoughtG3870 himG846 thatG2443 they mightG680 onlyG3440 touchG680 the hemG3588G2899 of hisG846 garmentG3588G2440: andG2532 as many asG3745 touchedG680 were made perfectly wholeG1295.
