11
And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12
Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13
When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
14
And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.
15
When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."
16
But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17
And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."
18
He said, "Bring them here to Me."
19
Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20
So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
21
Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23
And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
24
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on 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 immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."
28
And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
29
So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30
But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
31
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
