1.At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2.And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3.For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
4.For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. Lev 18:16 20:21
5.And 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 kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7.Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8.And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
9.And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10.And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11.And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12.And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13.When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14.And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15.And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16.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 loaves, and two fishes.
18.He said, Bring them hither to me.
19.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 to the multitude.
20.And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21.And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22.And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23.And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24.But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25.And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26.And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27.But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28.And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29.And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30.But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31.And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32.And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33.Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34.And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35.And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36.And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Chapter 14 All about John the baptist, and what happened that caused him to land in prison. Once the news was out Jesus and his deciples had went by boat to where John was so they could help free him. The same had happened to Paul when he would preach the gospel in certain areas. He also ran into tribulations with King Herald and tried to help his daughter stay out of trouble with the king.

Story for Matthew Chapter 14
Matthew 14 addresses two key miracles that were carried out by Jesus. The loaves and the fishes miracle and the story of Jesus walking on water.
Food and Water
During one of his teachings Jesus realized that his followers were terribly hungry. Jesus knew that He had to do something. It is at this point in Matthew that He performed the famous miracle of taking five loaves and two fishes and being able to feed an entire crowd of people.
Later in Matthew 14 the disciples board a boat across a nearby sea leaving Jesus to finish preaching. Jesus, however, catches up with them by walking on water. The disciples are bewildered and Peter asks Jesus to allow him on the water, to which He agrees. Peter takes a few strides and he remains safely on top of the water with Jesus. Peter is shocked and finds it difficult to digest this spectacle and thus starts doubting. His lack of faith causes him to sink into the water.
