Matthew - ch 14 v 1 - 20

  1. At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
  2. and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.
  3. For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.
  4. For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
  5. And while desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.
  6. But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;
  7. whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
  8. But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
  9. And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with him, he commanded it to be given.
  10. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
  11. and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother.
  12. And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
  13. And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard of it followed him on foot from the cities.
  14. And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.
  15. But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.
  16. But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
  17. But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
  18. And he said, Bring them here to me.
  19. And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
  20. And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
