\v 2 When the Sabbath came, he taught in the synagogue. Many people heard him and they were amazed. They said, "Where did he get these teachings?" "What is this wisdom that has been given to him?" "What are these miracles that he does with his hands?"
\v 3 "Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?" And they were offended by Jesus.
\v 14 King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist had been raised from the dead and because of this, these miraculous powers are at work in him."
\v 17 For Herod himself sent to have John arrested and he confined him in prison on account of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), because he had married her.
\v 20 for Herod feared John; he knew that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And listening to him made him greatly upset, yet he heard him gladly.
\v 22 The daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced for them, and she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you."
\v 25 And immediately she entered with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once, upon a platter, the head of John the Baptist."
\v 30 And the apostles, gathering together around Jesus, told him all that they had done and taught.
\v 31 And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves into a deserted place and rest a while." For many were coming and going , and they did not even have time to eat.
\v 32 So they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
\v 33 But they saw them leaving and many recognized them, and they ran there together on foot from all the towns, and they arrived there before them.
\v 34 When they came ashore, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
\v 37 But he answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Can we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"
\v 38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five loaves and two fish."
\v 41 As he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And he divided the two fish among them all.
\v 48 And he saw that they were stressed while they rowed because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he wanted to pass by them.
\v 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought he was a ghost and cried out,
\v 50 because they saw him and were terrified. And immediately he spoke to them and said to them, "Be courageous! It is I! Do not be afraid!"
\v 56 Wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or into the country, they would put the sick in the marketplaces, and they begged him to just let them tough the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were healed.
