Then Herod the Tetrarch; when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;

There were at Antioch, in the congregation, certain prophets and teachers: as Barnabas and Symeon called Niger; And Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's nurse-fellow, and Saul.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done of him, and doubted because that it was said of some, that John was risen again from death.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

For Herod had taken John and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

And king Herod heard of him, for his name was spread abroad; And he said, "John Baptist is risen again from death, and therefore miracles are wrought by him."

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

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, and said unto him, "Get thee out of the way, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee."

And as soon as he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Jerusalem in those days.

And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate.

After that, Jesus showed himself again at the sea of Tiberias. And on this wise showed he himself:

And in the plain unto the sea of Chinnereth eastward, and unto the sea in the plain called the salt sea eastward, the way to Bethjeshimoth and by south under the springs of Pisgah.

In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came unto them, walking on the sea:

Nevertheless, lest we should offend them, go to the sea and cast in thine angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take, and pay for me and thee."

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with waves, and he was asleep.

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside.


Nevertheless, lest we should offend them, go to the sea and cast in thine angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take, and pay for me and thee."

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with waves, and he was asleep. And his Disciples came unto him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, save us: we perish." And he said unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there followed a great calm. read more.
And the men marveled and said, "What man is this, that both winds and sea obey him?" And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesites, there met him two possessed of devils, which came out of the graves, and were out of measure fierce, so that no man might go by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, "O Jesus, the son of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time be come?" And there was, a good way off from them, a great herd of swine feeding. Then the devils besought him saying, "If thou cast us out, suffer us to go our way into the herd of swine." And he said unto them, "Go your ways." Then went they out, and departed into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

And straightway Jesus made his disciples enter into a ship, and to go over before him, while he sent the people away. And as soon as he had sent the people away, he went up into a mountain alone to pray. And when night was come he was there himself alone. And the ship was now in the midst of the sea, and was tossed with waves, for it was a contrary wind. read more.
In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came unto them, walking on the sea: and when his disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is some spirit," and cried out for fear. And straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid." Peter answered him, and said, "Master, if thou be he, 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 when he saw a mighty wind, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried, saying, "Master save me." And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O thou of little faith: wherefore didst thou doubt?" And as soon as they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, "Of a truth thou art the son of God."

And there arose a great storm of wind, and dashed the waves into the ship, so that it was full. And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

It came to pass as the people pressed upon him, to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Gennesaret: and saw two ships stand by the lakeside, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which pertained to Simon, and prayed him, that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship. read more.
When he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let slip your nets to make a draught." And Simon answered, and said to him, "Master, we have laboured all night, and have taken nothing. Neverthelater, at thy word I will loose forth the net." And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net brake: but they made signs to their fellows which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and they filled both the ships, that they sunk again. When Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' knees saying, "Lord go from me, for I am a sinful man." For he was utterly astonished, and all that were with him at the draught of fish which they took:

And it chanced on a certain day that he went into a ship, and his disciples also, and he said unto them, "Let us go over unto the other side of the lake." And they launched forth. And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there arose a storm of wind in the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they went to him and awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost." Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the tempest of water: and they ceased, and it waxed calm.

After that, Jesus showed himself again at the sea of Tiberias. And on this wise showed he himself: There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, which is called Didymus: and Nathaniel of Cana a city of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples. Simon Peter said unto them, "I go a fishing." They said unto him, "We also will go with thee." They went their way and entered into a ship straightway, and that night caught they nothing. read more.
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore. Nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus said unto them, "Sirs, have ye any meat?" They answered him no. And he said unto them, "Cast out the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find." They cast out, and anon they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Then said the disciple whom Jesus loved unto Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his mantle to him, for he was naked, and sprang into the sea. The other disciples came by ship: For they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits; And they drew the net with fishes. As soon as they were come to land, they saw hot coals laid and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus said unto them, "Bring of the fishes which ye have now caught." Simon Peter stepped forth and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three. And for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
