before all the company, and so pleased Herod
014:007 that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked.
014:008 So she, instigated by her mother, said, "Give me here on a dish
the head of John the Baptist."
014:009 The king was deeply vexed, yet because of his repeated oath
and of the guests at his table he ordered it to be given her,
014:010 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
014:011 The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl,
and she took it to her mother.
014:012 Then John's disciples went and removed the body and buried it,
and came and informed Jesus.
014:013 Upon receiving these tidings, Jesus went away by boat to an
uninhabited and secluded district; but the people heard of it
and followed Him in crowds from the towns by land.
014:014 So Jesus went out and saw an immense multitude, and felt compassion
for them, and cured those of them who were out of health.
014:015 But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said,
"This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is
now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy
something to eat."
014:016 "They need not go away," replied Jesus; "you yourselves must
give them something to eat."
014:017 "We have nothing here," they said, "but five loaves and a
couple of fish."
014:018 "Bring them here to me," He said,
014:019 and He told all the people to sit down on the grass.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after
looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves
and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed
them to the people.
