Matthew 14 Interlinear

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

for herod had laid hold on john and bound him and put him in prison for herodias sake his brother philips wife

for john said unto him it is not lawful for thee to have her

and when he would have put him to death he feared the multitude because they counted him as a prophet

but when herods birthday was kept the daughter of herodias danced before them and pleased herod

whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask

and she being before instructed of her mother said give me here john baptists head in a charger

and the king was sorry nevertheless for the oaths sake and them which sat with him at meat he commanded it to be given

and he sent and beheaded john in the prison

and his head was brought in a charger and given to the damsel and she brought it to her mother

and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it and went and told jesus

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

and jesus went forth and saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion toward them and he healed their sick

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

but jesus said unto them they need not depart give ye them to eat

and they say unto him we have here but five loaves and two fishes

he said bring them hither to me

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

and they did all eat and were filled and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full

and they that had eaten were about five thousand men beside women and children

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

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

but the ship was now in the midst of the sea tossed with waves for the wind was contrary

and in the fourth watch of the night jesus went unto them walking on the sea

and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were troubled saying it is a spirit and they cried out for fear

but straightway jesus spake unto them saying be of good cheer it is i be not afraid

and peter answered him and said lord if it be thou bid me come unto thee on the water

and he said come and when peter was come down out of the ship he walked on the water to go to jesus

but when he saw the wind boisterous he was afraid and beginning to sink he cried saying lord save me

and immediately jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him and said unto him o thou of little faith wherefore didst thou doubt

and when they were come into the ship the wind ceased

then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him saying of a truth thou art the son of god

and when they were gone over they came into the land of gennesaret

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

and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment and as many as touched were made perfectly whole
