At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Iesu$,
2And said vnto hi$ seruant$, Thi$ i$ Iohn the Baptist, hee i$ risen from the dead, and therfore mighty worke$ doe shew foorth themselue$ in him.
3 ¶For Herode had layd hold on Iohn, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodia$ sake, hi$ brother Philip$ wife.
4For Iohn said vnto him, It i$ not lawfull for thee to haue her.
5And when he would haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him a$ a Prophet.
6But when Herod$ birth day wa$ kept, the daughter of Herodia$ daunced before them, and pleased Herode.
7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to giue her whatsoeuer she would aske.
8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Giue me heere Iohn Baptist$ head in a charger.
9And the king wa$ sorie: neuerthelesse for the othe$ sake, and them which sate with him at meate, he commanded it to be giuen her:
10And he sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison.
11And hi$ head wa$ brought in a charger, and giuen to the Damsell: and she brought it to her mother.
12And hi$ Disciple$ came, and took vp the body, and buried it, and went and told Iesu$.
13 ¶When Iesu$ heard of it, he departed thence by ship, into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foote, out of the citie$.
14And Iesu$ went forth, and saw a great multitude, and wa$ mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.
15 ¶And when it wa$ euening, hi$ Disciple$ came to him, saying, Thi$ i$ a desert place, and the time i$ now past; send the multitude away, that they may goe into the village$, and buy themselue$ victual$.
16But Iesu$ said vnto them, They neede not depart; giue yee them to eate.
17And they say vnto him, We haue heere but fiue loaue$, and two fishe$.
18He said, Bring them hither to me.
19And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, & tooke the fiue loaue$, and the two fishe$, and looking vp to heauen, hee blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaue$ to hi$ Disciple$, and the Disciple$ to the multitude.
20And they did all eat, & were filled: and they tooke vp of the fragment$ that remained twelue basket$ full.
21And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men, beside women and children.
22 ¶And straightway Iesu$ constrained hi$ Disciple$ to get into a ship, and to goe before him vnto the other side, while he sent the multitude$ away.
23And when he had sent the multitude$ away, he went vp into a mountaine apart to pray: and when the euening wa$ come, he wa$ there alone:
24But the ship wa$ now in the midst of the Sea, tossed with waue$: for the wind wa$ contrary.
25And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesu$ went vnto them, walking on the Sea.
26And when the Disciple$ saw him walking on the Sea, they were troubled, saying, It i$ a spirit: and they cried out for feare.
27But straightway Iesu$ spake vnto them, saying, Be of good cheere: it i$ I, be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter wa$ come downe out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Iesu$.
30But when he saw the wind boysterou$, he wa$ afraid: and beginning to sinke, he cried, saying, Lord saue me.
31And immediately Iesu$ stretched foorth hi$ hand, and caught him, and said vnto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the sonne of God.
34 ¶And when they were gone ouer, they came into ye land of Genesaret.
35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that countrey round about, and brought vnto him al that were diseased,
36And besought him, that they might onely touch the hemme of hi$ garment; and a$ many a$ touched, were made perfectly whole.
