23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24 And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,
49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:
49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.
50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
