For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.

The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.

And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.

When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken. Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.
