40:014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
40:014:002 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.
40:014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound
him, and put him in
prison
for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s
wife.
40:014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
40:014:005 And when he would have put him to death,
he feared the
multitude,
because they counted him as a prophet.
40:014:006 But when Herod’s birthday was kept,
the daughter of Herodias
danced
before them, and pleased Herod.
40:014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give
her whatsoever she
would
ask.
40:014:008 And she, being before instructed of her
mother, said, Give me
here
John Baptist’s head in a charger.
40:014:009 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.
40:014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
40:014:011 And his head was brought in a charger,
and given to the
damsel:
and she brought it to her mother.
40:014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the
body, and buried it,
and
went and told Jesus.
40:014:013 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.
40:014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude,
and was moved
with
compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
40:014:015 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.
40:014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not
depart; give ye them
to
eat.
40:014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but
five loaves, and two
fishes.
40:014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.
40:014:019 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.
40:014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled:
and they took up of the
fragments
that remained twelve baskets full.
40:014:021 And they that had eaten were about five
thousand men, beside
women
and children.
