3For Herod had (taken) hold (of) John, and bound him, and putted him in prison for Herodias, the wife of his brother. 4For John said to him, It is not leaveful to thee to have her. (For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her as your wife.) 5And he willing to slay him, dreaded the people; for they had him as a prophet. (And he wanted to kill him, but he feared the people; for they said that he was a prophet.)

6But in the day of Herod's birth (But on Herod’s birthday), the daughter of Herodias danced in the middle, and pleased Herod. 7Wherefore with an oath he promised to give to her, whatever thing she asked of him. 8And she before-warned of her mother, said [And she before-admonished of her mother, saith] (And having earlier been admonished by her mother, she answered), Give thou to me here the head of John (the) Baptist in a dish. 9And the king was sorrowful, but for the oath, and for them that sat together at the meat (but because of his promise, and because of those who sat together with him at the meal), he commanded (it) to be given (to her). 10And he sent (word), and beheaded John in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a dish, and it was given to the damsel, and she bare it to her mother (and she carried it to her mother). 12And his disciples came, and took his body, and buried it; and they came, and told to Jesus.

13And when Jesus had heard (about) this thing, he went from thence in a boat, into a desert place beside. And when the people had heard, they followed him on their feet from (the) cities. 14And Jesus went out, and saw a great people [(and) saw a great multitude], and had ruth on them (and had compassion for them), and he healed the sick men of them.

15But when eventide was come, his disciples came to him, and said, The place is (a) desert, and the time is now passed; let the people go into (the) towns, to buy them(selves) meat (to buy some food for themselves). 16Jesus said to them, They have not need to go [They have no need to go]; give ye them somewhat to eat (you give them something to eat). 17They answered, We have not here, [no] but five loaves and two fishes. 18And he said to them, Bring ye them hither to me (Bring them here to me). 19And when he had commanded the people to sit to [the] meat on the hay (And when he had commanded the people to sit down on the hay for the meal), he took (the) five loaves and (the) two fishes, and he beheld into heaven, and blessed (and gave thanks), and brake (them), and gave [(the) loaves] to his disciples; and the disciples gave (them) to the people. 20And all ate, and were fulfilled [And all ate, and were filled]. And they took the remnants of broken gobbets, twelve coffins full (And they gathered up the remaining pieces of food, twelve baskets full). 21And the number of men that ate was five thousand of men, without (the) women and (the) little children.

22And anon, (or at once), Jesus compelled the disciples to go up into a boat, and [to] go before him over the sea, while he let the people go (while he dismissed the people). 23And when the people was let go, he ascended alone into an hill to pray (And after the people were dismissed, he went up alone onto a hill to pray). But when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24And the boat in the middle of the sea was shogged with (the) waves, for the wind was contrary to them. [+Forsooth the boat in the midst of the sea was thrown with (the) waves, for the wind was contrary to them.] 25But in the fourth waking of the night, he came to them walking on the sea. (But about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake.) 26And they, seeing him walking on the sea, were disturbed, (or were distroubled), and said, That it is a phantom; and for dread they cried (and they cried out in fear). 27And anon Jesus spake to them, and said, Have ye trust, I am (he); do not ye dread. (And at once Jesus spoke to them, and said, Have trust, it is me; do not fear.)

28And Peter answered, and said, Lord, if thou art (thee) (if it is thee), command me to come to thee on the waters. 29And he said, Come thou. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus. 30But he saw the wind strong, and was afeared; and when he began to drench, he cried, and said, Lord, make me safe. (But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid; and when he began to drown, he cried, and said, Lord, save me.) 31And anon, (or at once), Jesus held forth his hand, and took Peter [(and) caught him], and said to him, Thou of little faith, why hast thou doubted? 32And when he had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased. (And when he had gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.) 33And they, that were in the boat, came, and worshipped him, and said, Verily, thou art God's Son (Truly, thou art the Son of God).

34And when they had passed over the sea, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35And when men of that place had known him, they sent into all that country(side) (they sent word throughout all that region); and they brought to him all that had sicknesses [and they brought to him all having evil]. 36And they prayed him, that they should touch the hem of his clothing; and whoever touched (it) were made safe (and whoever touched it were healed).
