Matthew 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.	1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And he said to his servants: “This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him.”	2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.	3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”	4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.	5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.	6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.	7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”	8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.	9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent and beheaded John in prison.	10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.	11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.	12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.	13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.	14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves.”	15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said to them: “They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.”	16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 They answered him, “We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.”	17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said to them, “Bring them here to me.”	18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.	19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.	20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.	21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.	22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.	23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.	24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.	25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.	26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”	27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters.”	28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.	29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”	30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”	31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.	32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”	33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.	34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.	35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.	36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
