Death of John the Baptist

1IT was at that time that reports about Jesus reached Herod the tetrarch.

2“This is John the Baptist,” he said to his attendants; “he has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”

3Now Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and thrown him into prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;

4for John had told him: “You have no right to her.”

5Herod would have liked to put him to death, but he was afraid of the people, in whose eyes John was a prophet.

6But at his birthday celebrations the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests, and Herod was so delighted

7that he promised on oath to give her anything she asked for.

8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist.”

9At this the king was distressed, but because of his oath and his guests, he ordered the request to be granted,

10and had John beheaded in prison.

11The head was brought on a dish and given to the girl; and she carried it to her mother.

12Then John's disciples came and took away the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

More miracles and teaching

13WHEN he heard what had happened Jesus withdrew privately by boat to a remote place; but large numbers of people heard of it, and came after him on foot from the towns.

14When he came ashore and saw a large crowd, his heart went out to them, and he healed those who were sick.

15As evening drew on, the disciples came up to him and said, “This is a remote place and the day has gone; send the people off to the villages to buy themselves food.”

16Jesus answered, “There is no need for them to go; give them something to eat yourselves.”

17“All we have here”, they said, “is five loaves and two fish.”

18“Bring them to me,” he replied.

19So he told the people to sit down on the grass; then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people.

20They all ate and were satisfied; and twelve baskets were filled with what was left over.

21Some five thousand men shared in this meal, not counting women and children.

22As soon as they had finished, he made the disciples embark and cross to the other side ahead of him, while he dismissed the crowd;

23then he went up the hill by himself to pray. It had grown late, and he was there alone.

24The boat was already some distance from the shore, battling with a head wind and a rough sea.

25Between three and six in the morning he came towards them, walking across the lake.

26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake they were so shaken that they cried out in terror: “It is a ghost!”

27But at once Jesus spoke to them: “Take heart! It is I; do not be afraid.”

28Peter called to him: “Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you over the water.”

29“Come,” said Jesus. Peter got down out of the boat, and walked over the water towards Jesus.

30But when he saw the strength of the gale he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, “Save me, Lord!”

31Jesus at once reached out and caught hold of him. “Why did you hesitate?” he said. “How little faith you have!”

32Then they climbed into the boat; and the wind dropped.

33And the men in the boat fell at his feet, exclaiming, “You must be the Son of God.”

34So they completed the crossing and landed at Gennesaret.

35The people there recognized Jesus and sent word to all the country round. They brought to him all who were ill

36and begged him to let them simply touch the edge of his cloak; and all who touched it were completely cured.
