MATTHEW XIV. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel; and she brought it MARK VI. forth, and said unto her mother; What shall I ask? And she said; The head of 12 to her mother. And his 25 John the Baptist. And she disciples came and took up the body, and buried it; and went and told Jesus. came in straightway, with haste, unto the king, and asked, saying; I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the 26 Baptist. And the king was exceeding sorry, yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he 27 would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him 28 in the prison; and brought his head in a charger and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her 29 mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. PART VI. TO THE DEPARTURE OF JESUS FROM GALILEE. 7 LUKE IX. Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was 8 risen from the dead; and of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was 9 risen again. And Herod said; John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. 1 JOHN VI. After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles, which he did on them that were dis3 eased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of 5 the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lift up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip; Whence shall we MATTHEW XIV. and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves 36 16 victuals. But Jesus said unto them; They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him; We have here but five 18 loaves, and two fishes. He said; Bring them hither to 19 me. 38 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 20 to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that that remained 40 21 twelve baskets full. And 39 MARK VI. came unto him, and said; This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed; send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread; for they have noth37 ing to eat. He answered and said unto them; Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him; Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? He saith unto them; How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say; Five, and two fishes. And commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. And they did all eat, and were 43 filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were five thousand 42 they that had eaten were 41 about five thousand men, beside women and children. 22 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes 23 away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray. And when the evening was come, he 24 was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with 45 waves; for the wind was 25 contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night, he went 44 he men.
