And they departed, and went thro' the towns preaching the Gospel and healing every where. Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some, That John was risen from the dead; and by some that Elijah had appeared; by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. And the apostles returning told him what they had done. And he took them and went aside privately into the desert of Bethsaida. And when the multitudes knew it, they followed him, and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God and healed them that had need of healing. And the day began to decline. And the twelve coming to him said, send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge and find victuals: for we are here in a desert place. But he said to them, give ye them to eat. And they said, we have no more than five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and buy meat for all this people. For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down, by fifties in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then taking the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they all ate and were satisfied, and there were taken up of fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus, And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty powers exert themselves in him.

But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatever she should ask. And being before instructed by her mother, she said, Give me here John the Baptist's head in a charger. read more.
And the king was sorry; yet for the oath's sake, and them who sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother. And his disciples came and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

And king Herod heard (for his name was spread abroad) and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore divine powers exert themselves in him. Others said, It is Elijah: and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. But Herod hearing thereof, said, This is that John whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

And a convenient day being come, when Herod on his birth-day made a feast, for his lords, captains, and principal men of Galilee: When the daughter of Herodias had come in and danced and pleased Herod, and his guests, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, to the half my kingdom. read more.
And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And coming in quickly with haste to the king she asked, saying, I will that thou give me immediately in a charger the head of John the Baptist. And the king was exceeding sorry: yet for his oath's sake, and for the sake of his guests, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent one of his guard, and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. And the disciples hearing it, came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
