Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter fourteen. At that time heard the tea Trock,
heard the fame of Jesus, and said, unto his servants,
this is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead,
and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
For Herod had laid hold on John and bound him

(00:20):
and put him in prison for Herodias sake his brother
Philip's wife, for John said unto him, it is not
lawful for thee to have her. And when he would
have put him to death, he feared the multitude because
they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod's birthday
was kept, the daughter of Herodius danced before them and

(00:43):
pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give
her whatsoever she would ask, And she, being before instructed
of her mother, said give me here John Baptist's head
in a charger. And the king was sorry, nevertheless, for
the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat.
He commanded it to be given her, and he sent

(01:06):
and beheaded John in the prison, and his head was
brought in a charger and given to the damsel, and
she brought it to her mother, and his disciples came
and took up the body and buried it, and went
and told Jesus. When Jesus heard of it, he departed
thence by ship into a desert place apart, And when

(01:27):
the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot
out of the cities. And Jesus went forth and saw
a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them,
and he healed their sick And when it was evening,
his disciples came to him, saying, this is a desert place,
and the time is now past. Send the multitude away,

(01:50):
that they may go into the villages and buy themselves victuals.
But Jesus said, unto them, they need not depart. Give
ye them to eat. And they say, unto him, we
have here but five loaves and two fishes. He said,
bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude

(02:10):
to sit down on the grass, and took the five
loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven,
he blessed and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude, and they did all
eat and were filled. And they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full, and they that had

(02:33):
eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
ship and to go before him onto the other side,
while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had
sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain
apart to pray. And when the evening was come, he

(02:56):
was there alone. But the ship was now in the
midst to the sea, tossed with ways, for the wind
was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night,
Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. And when
the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled,
saying it is a spirit, and they cried out for fear.

(03:17):
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, be of good
cheer it is I be not afraid. And Peter answered
him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water. And he said come.
And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But

(03:40):
when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And
immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him, and
said unto him, O, thou of little faith, wherefore didst
thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship,
the wind ceased, and they that were in the ship

(04:04):
came and worshiped him, saying, of a truth, thou art
the son of God. And when they were gone over
they came into the lane of Genesret. And when the
men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent
out into all that country round about, and brought unto
him all that were diseased, and besought him that they

(04:25):
might only touch the hem of his garment. And as
many as touched were made perfectly whole.
