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.
