Matthew 14:10–18
10and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.↗
11His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.↗
12His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.↗
13Now when Jesus 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.↗
14Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.↗
15When 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.”↗
16But Jesus said to them,“They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”↗
17They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”↗
18He said,“Bring them here to me.”↗
