MODERN LITERAL VERSION - 2026 Update

14:1       {Mar 6:14-29 & Mat 14:1-12 & Luk 9:7-9.}       Herod the Tetrarch heard the report of Jesus at that time,

14:2 and said to his young-servants, This is John the Immerser^*; he himself was raised from the dead, and because of this, these powers are working in him.

14:3 For^* Herod took-hold of John, bound him and placed him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.      

14:4 For^* John was saying to him, It is not legal for you to have her.      

14:5 And wishing to kill him, but he feared the crowd, because they were holding him up as a prophet.      

14:6 Now Herod’s birthday-festivities being brought^* together, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst of the court and pleased Herod;

14:7 from where he confessed with an oath to give her whatever she herself might ask for.      

14:8 Now after she was pushed forward by her mother, she says, Give me the head of John the Immerser^* upon a platter here.      

14:9 And the king was sorrowful, but because of his oaths and because of the ones lounging together-with him, he commanded it to be given.

14:10 And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

14:11 And his head was carried upon a platter, and given to the girl, and she carried it to her mother.

14:12 And his disciples came near and lifted up the body, and buried it, and they went and reported to Jesus.       {Mar 6:30-32 & Mat 14:13 & Luk 9:10 & Joh 6:1 East shore of Galilee.}      

14:13 And after Jesus heard it, he departed from there in a ship, privately to a desolate place, and after the crowds heard of it, they followed him on-foot from the cities.       {Mar 6:33-44 & Mat 14:14-21 & Luk 9:11-17 & Joh 6:2-14.}      

14:14 And after Jesus went forth, he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion upon them and healed their sick.

14:15 Now after it became evening, his disciples came near to him, saying, The place is desolate and the hour has already passed-away; dismiss the crowds in-order-that after they have gone away into the villages, they might buy various foods for themselves.      

14:16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go away; you^°, give^° them food to eat!      

14:17 But they say to him, We do not have anything here except five loaves and two fish.      

14:18 Now he said, Bring^° them here to me.

14:19 And he commanded the crowds to lounge upon the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, gave-thanks and broke them. He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples then gave to the crowds.

14:20 And they all ate and were fully-fed, and they took up the leftover of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.

14:21 Now the ones eating were approximately five thousand men, separate from women and children.       {Mar 6:45-56 & Mat 14:22-36 & Joh 6:15-21.}      

14:22 And immediately, Jesus urged the disciples to step onto the ship, and to precede him to the other-side, until which time he should dismiss the crowds.

14:23 And he dismissed the crowds and went-up into the mountain privately to pray. Now after it became evening, he was alone there.

14:24 But the ship was already in the midst of the sea, and was being tormented by the waves; for^* the wind was adverse.

14:25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.

14:26 And after the disciples saw him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying, It is an apparition, and they cried out from their fear.      

14:27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Have^° courage; I am here; do^° not be afraid.      

14:28 Now Peter answered to him, and said, Lord, if you are here, command me to come to you upon the waters.      

14:29 Now he said, Come.      And Peter descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go toward Jesus.

14:30 But he was afraid, seeing the strong wind, and began to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me!      

14:31 Now Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and grabbed him, and says to him, You of small faith! In what were you skeptical?      

14:32 And after they themselves stepped into the ship, the wind paused.

14:33 Now the ones in the ship came to him and, worshiped him, saying, You are truly the Son of God.      

14:34 And they ferried over and came to the land of Gennesaret.

14:35 And after the men of that place recognized him, they sent word into the whole region around that place and brought to him all the ones having an illness,

14:36 and they were pleading with him in-order-that they might only touch the hem of his garment and as many as touched it, were cured.
