1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
At that time, Herod [Heroic] the tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) heard the report concerning Yeshua [Salvation],
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.
and said to his servants, “This is John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work 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.
For Herod [Heroic] had laid hold of John [Yah is gracious], and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip [Loves horses]’s wife.
4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
For John [Yah is gracious] said to him, “It violates the Torah ·Teaching· for you to have her as your wife.”
5 And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.
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 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.
There he promised with an oath to give her whatever 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.
She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser.”
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.
The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the 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.
His head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
His disciples came, and took the body, and buried it; and they went and told Yeshua [Salvation].
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.
Now when Yeshua [Salvation] heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
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.
When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, 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 have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
But Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”
18 And he said, Bring them here to me.
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.
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, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21 But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.
Immediately Yeshua [Salvation] made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24 but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, a stadious’ distance [1/8 mi; 660 ft; 201.2 m, Greek race track distance], distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
It was about 4 o'clock in the morning, Yeshua [Salvation] came to them, walking on the sea.
26 And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.
27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid.
But immediately Yeshua [Salvation] spoke to them, saying, “Take heart! Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)]! Don’t be afraid.”
28 And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
Peter [Rock] answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
29 And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
He said, “Come!” Peter [Rock] stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Yeshua [Salvation].
30 But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
Immediately Yeshua [Salvation] stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little trusting faith, why did you doubt?”
32 And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·!”
34 And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,
