Thematic Bible



It was the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea. Herod served as tetrarch of Galilee. Herod's brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis. Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene.

John reproved Herod the tetrarch for all the evil things he had done for he took his brother Herodias' wife.

There were prophets and teachers in the congregation at Antioch. This included: Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Herod the ruler of Galilee heard of all that was done and was very perplexed (confused) (skeptical). Some said John the Baptist was raised from the dead and that he did it.

At that time Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard the news about Jesus.

Herod locked John in prison to please Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

John the Baptist had become well known. King Herod heard that John had risen from the dead. Therefore he was doing these powerful works.

He ordered them to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

Some Pharisees came to Jesus and warned him: You must leave and go somewhere else for Herod wants to kill you.

When he knew that he was from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod. He was in Jerusalem at that time.

And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:

Just before morning, Jesus walked to them on the water.

We will not cause them trouble. Go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish you catch. You will see money (a stater coin) in its mouth. Give it to them for me and for you.

Suddenly a storm blew in and the boat was covered with waves. Jesus was asleep.

That day Jesus left the house and sat by the seashore.


We will not cause them trouble. Go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish you catch. You will see money (a stater coin) in its mouth. Give it to them for me and for you.

Suddenly a storm blew in and the boat was covered with waves. Jesus was asleep. And they came to him, woke him, and cried: Save us, Lord, or we will perish. He said to them: Why are you afraid, you of little faith? Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. Suddenly there was a great calm. read more.
The disciples were in awe. They asked: What kind of man is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him? When he arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarenes two men possessed by demons came to him from out of the tombs. They were extremely violent, so no man could pass by that way. They screamed at him, saying: What have we to do with you, Son of God? Have you come to torment us before the time? A large herd of swine was feeding in the distance. The demons pleaded with him: If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine! He told them to go. And they came out, and went into the swine. The entire herd rushed down the hill into the sea, where they perished in the waters.

Jesus sent the disciples in a boat to the other side of the sea. He stayed there until he sent the crowd away. After sending the crowd away, he went to the mountain to pray by himself. He was there alone that night. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea. The wind and the waves caused great trouble. read more.
Just before morning, Jesus walked to them on the water. When they saw him walking on the water they were troubled. It is a spirit (apparition) (illusion)! they screamed! They cried out with fear. At once Jesus said: It is I; do not be afraid. Peter said to him: Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water. He said: Come. Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. When he noticed how strong the wind was, he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried: Help me Lord! Suddenly, Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him, and said: You of little faith, why were you in doubt? The wind went down when they got into the boat. Those on the boat loved him intensely, saying: Truly, you are the Son of God!

A great windstorm came up and the waves came into the boat. He was in back of the boat sleeping on a cushion. They woke him. They said: Master is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction? He awoke from sleep and commanded the wind and sea. He commanded the sea to be at peace and rest. And he commanded the wind to go down and there was a great calm.

Jesus stood by the Lake of Gennesaret as the crowds pressed in upon him in order to hear the word of God. He saw two boats docked by the shore. The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing their nets. He boarded one of the boats. It was Simon's boat. He asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. read more.
When he finished speaking he asked Simon to put into deep water and let down the nets for a catch. Simon answered, Master we worked all night and caught nothing. At your word I will let down the nets. When they did this they caught a large number of fish and their nets were breaking. They called their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They filled both boats until they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at Jesus' knees. He said: Depart from me for I am a sinful man, O Lord. He and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish.

He said to his disciples: Let us go to the other side of the lake. Then he and his disciples boarded a boat and did so. Jesus fell asleep as they sailed to the other side. A large windstorm came to the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. They awoke him saying: Master, Master, we parish! He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water and there was calm.

Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He presented himself this way. There were together Simon Peter; Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them: I am going fishing. They told him: We would also come with you. They boarded the boat and caught nothing that night. read more.
Jesus stood on the beach at daybreak. The disciples did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to them: Children, have you anything to eat? They answered him: No. He said: Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find fish. They cast it and they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat about him (for he was dressed only in undergarments), and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away), dragging the net full of fishes. When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said: Bring the fish you caught. Simon Peter went to draw the net to land. It was full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three in all. There were so many and yet the net was not torn.

Then Jesus told them: Do not fear. Go tell my brothers to travel to Galilee. I will see them there.

The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the mountain where Jesus specified. When they saw him, they bowed down in adoration for him. But some doubted (were lacking faith).
