Matthew 14

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Compare verse
2 And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
Compare verse
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Compare verse
4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
Compare verse
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Compare verse
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Compare verse
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Compare verse
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Compare verse
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
Compare verse
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Compare verse
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Compare verse
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
16 But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give you them to eat.
Compare verse
17 And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Compare verse
18 He said, Bring them here to me.
Compare verse
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 broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Compare verse
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Compare verse
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Compare verse
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
24 But the ship was now in the middle of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Compare verse
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
27 But straightway Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Compare verse
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come to you on the water.
Compare verse
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Compare verse
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Compare verse
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
Compare verse
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Compare verse
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God.
Compare verse
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Compare verse
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to him all that were diseased;
Compare verse
36 And sought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
