¹ In that time Herod tetrarch, [that is, prince of the fourth part], heard the fame of Jesus;

² and said to his children, This is John Baptist, he is risen from death, and therefore virtues work in him.

³ For Herod had holden [or held] John, and bound him, and putted him in prison for Herodias, the wife of his brother.

⁴ For John said to him, It is not leaveful to thee to have her.

⁵ And he willing to slay him, dreaded the people; for they had him as a prophet.

⁶ But in the day of Herod’s birth, the daughter of Herodias danced in the middle, and pleased Herod.

⁷ Wherefore with an oath he promised to give to her, whatever thing she asked of him.

⁸ And she before-warned [or before admonished] of her mother, said, Give thou to me here the head of John Baptist in a dish.

⁹ And the king was sorrowful, but for the oath, and for them that sat together at the meat, he commanded to be given.

¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

¹¹ And his head was brought in a dish, and it was given to the damsel, and she bare it to her mother.

¹² And his disciples came, and took his body, and buried it; and they came, and told to Jesus.

¹³ And when Jesus had heard this thing, he went from thence in a boat, into a desert place beside. And when the people had heard, they followed him on their feet from cities.

¹⁴ And Jesus went out, and saw a great people [or a great multitude], and had ruth on them, and he healed the sick men of them.

¹⁵ But when eventide was come, his disciples came to him, and said, The place is desert, and the time is now passed; let the people go into towns, to buy them meat.

¹⁶ Jesus said to them, They have not need [or no need] to go; give ye them somewhat to eat.

¹⁷ They answered, We have not here, but five loaves and two fishes.

¹⁸ And he said to them, Bring ye them hither to me.

¹⁹ And when he had commanded the people to sit to [the] meat on the hay, he took five loaves and two fishes, and he beheld into heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave [loaves] to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.

²⁰ And all ate, and were fulfilled [or filled]. And they took the remnants of broken gobbets, twelve coffins full.

²¹ And the number of men that ate was five thousand of men, without women and little children.

²² And anon Jesus compelled the disciples to go up into a boat, and [to] go before him over the sea, while he let go the people.

²³ And when the people was let go, he went up alone into an hill to pray. But when the evening was come, he was there alone.

²⁴ And the boat in the middle of the sea was shogged [or thrown] with waves, for the wind was contrary to them.

²⁵ But in the fourth waking of the night, he came to them walking on the sea.

²⁶ And they, seeing him walking on the sea, were disturbed [or distroubled], and said, That it is a phantom; and for dread they cried.

²⁷ And anon Jesus spake to them, and said, Have ye trust, I am; do not ye dread.

²⁸ And Peter answered, and said, Lord, if thou art, command me to come to thee on the waters.

²⁹ And he said, Come thou. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

³⁰ But he saw the wind strong, and was afeared; and when he began to drench or drown, he cried, and said, Lord, make me safe.

³¹ And anon Jesus held forth his hand, and took Peter, [or caught him], and said to him, Thou of little faith, why hast thou doubted?

³² And when he had gone [up] into the boat, the wind ceased.

³³ And they, that were in the boat, came, and worshipped him, and said, Verily, thou art God’s Son.

³⁴ And when they had passed over the sea, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

³⁵ And when men of that place had known him, they sent into all that country; and they brought to him all that had sicknesses [or all having evil].

³⁶ And they prayed him, that they should touch the hem of his clothing; and whoever touched were made safe.
