Matthew 14

¹	At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
²	and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him.
³	For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
⁴	For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
⁵	And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
⁶	But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
⁷	Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
⁸	And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
⁹	And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;
¹⁰	and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
¹¹	And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
¹²	And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
¹³	Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities.
¹⁴	And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
¹⁵	And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
¹⁶	But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat.
¹⁷	And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
¹⁸	And he said, Bring them hither to me.
¹⁹	And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
²⁰	And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
²¹	And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
²²	And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away.
²³	And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone.
²⁴	But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
²⁵	And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
²⁶	And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.
²⁷	But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
²⁸	And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto the upon the waters.
²⁹	And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus.
³⁰	But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
³¹	And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
³²	And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
³³	And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
³⁴	And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret.
³⁵	And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick,
³⁶	and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.

Mark 6

¹	And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
²	And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands?
³	Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.
⁴	And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
⁵	And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

⁷	And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

⁹	but to go shod with sandals: and, said he, put not on two coats.
¹⁰	And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

¹⁴	And king Herod heard thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.
¹⁵	But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets.
¹⁶	But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.
¹⁷	For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
¹⁸	For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
¹⁹	And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;
²⁰	for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.
²¹	And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
²²	and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
²³	And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
²⁴	And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.
²⁵	And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
²⁶	And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.
²⁷	And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
²⁸	and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

³²	And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.
³³	And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.
³⁴	And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
³⁵	And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;
³⁶	send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.
³⁷	But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread, and give them to eat?
³⁸	And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
³⁹	And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.
⁴⁰	And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
⁴¹	And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
⁴²	And they all ate, and were filled.
⁴³	And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.
⁴⁴	And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
⁴⁵	And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.
⁴⁶	And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
⁴⁷	And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
⁴⁸	And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:
⁴⁹	but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
⁵⁰	for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
⁵¹	And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;
⁵²	for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
⁵³	And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
⁵⁴	And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him,
⁵⁵	and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
⁵⁶	And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Luke 9

¹	And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
²	And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
³	And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
⁴	And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.
⁵	And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
⁶	And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
⁷	Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;
⁸	and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
⁹	And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
¹⁰	And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.
¹¹	But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.
¹²	And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place.
¹³	But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.
¹⁴	For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.
¹⁵	And they did so, and made them all sit down.
¹⁶	And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
¹⁷	And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
¹⁸	And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
¹⁹	And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
²⁰	And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
²¹	But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;
²²	saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
²³	And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
²⁴	For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
²⁵	For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?
²⁶	For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
²⁷	But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
²⁸	And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
²⁹	And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling.
³⁰	And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;
³¹	who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
³²	Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
³³	And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.
³⁴	And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
³⁵	And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.
³⁶	And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.
³⁷	And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
³⁸	And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:
³⁹	and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.
⁴⁰	And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.
⁴¹	And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.
⁴²	And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
⁴³	And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,
⁴⁴	Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.
⁴⁵	But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
⁴⁶	And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.
⁴⁷	But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,
⁴⁸	and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.
⁴⁹	And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
⁵⁰	But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.
⁵¹	And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
⁵²	and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
⁵³	And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.
⁵⁴	And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
⁵⁵	But he turned, and rebuked them.
⁵⁶	And they went to another village.
⁵⁷	And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
⁵⁸	And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
⁵⁹	And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
⁶⁰	But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
⁶¹	And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.
⁶²	But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
