9
And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;
10
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11
And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12
And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13
Now when Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard [thereof,] they followed him on foot from the cities.
14
And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15
And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16
But Jesus said unto them,
They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat.
17
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18
And he said,
Bring them hither to me.
19
And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
