13 When G2532 Jesus G2424 heard G191 of it, he departed G402 thence G1564 by G1722 ship G4143 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 apart: G2596 G2398 and G2532 when the people G3793 had heard G191 thereof, they followed G190 him G846 on foot G3979 out of G575 the cities. G4172
And G2532 the apostles, G652 when they were returned, G5290 told G1334 him G846 all that G3745 they had done. G4160 And G2532 he took G3880 them, G846 and went aside G5298 privately G2596 G2398 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 belonging to the city G4172 called G2564 Bethsaida. G966 And G1161 the people, G3793 when they knew G1097 it, followed G190 him: G846 and G2532 he received G1209 them, G846 and spake G2980 unto them G846 of G4012 the kingdom G932 of God, G2316 and G2532 healed G2390 them that had G2192 need G5532 of healing. G2322 And G1161 when the day G2250 began G756 to wear away, G2827 then G1161 came G4334 the twelve, G1427 and said G2036 unto him, G846 Send G630 the multitude G3793 away, G630 that G2443 they may go G565 into G1519 the towns G2968 and G2532 country G68 round about, G2945 and lodge, G2647 and G2532 get G2147 victuals: G1979 for G3754 we are G2070 here G5602 in G1722 a desert G2048 place. G5117 But G1161 he said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846 Give G1325 ye G5210 them G846 to eat. G5315 And G1161 they said, G2036 We G2254 have no G3756 G1526 more G4119 but G2228 five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 two G1417 fishes; G2486 except G1509 we G2249 should go G4198 and buy G59 meat G1033 for G1519 all G3956 this G5126 people. G2992 For G1063 they were G2258 about G5616 five thousand G4000 men. G435 And G1161 he said G2036 to G4314 his G846 disciples, G3101 Make G2625 them G846 sit down G2625 by G303 fifties G4004 in a company. G2828 And G2532 they did G4160 so, G3779 and G2532 made G347 them all G537 sit down. G347 Then G1161 he took G2983 the five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 the two G1417 fishes, G2486 and looking up G308 to G1519 heaven, G3772 he blessed G2127 them, G846 and G2532 brake, G2622 and G2532 gave G1325 to the disciples G3101 to set before G3908 the multitude. G3793 And G2532 they did eat, G5315 and G2532 were G5526 all G3956 filled: G5526 and G2532 there was taken up G142 of fragments G2801 that remained G4052 to them G846 twelve G1427 baskets. G2894
But G1161 when G3752 they persecute G1377 you G5209 in G1722 this G5026 city, G4172 flee ye G5343 into G1519 another: G243 for G1063 verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 Ye shall G5055 not G3364 have gone over G5055 the cities G4172 of Israel, G2474 till G2193 the Son G5207 of man G444 be G302 come. G2064
Then G1161 Jesus G2424 called G4341 his G846 disciples G3101 unto him, and said, G2036 I have compassion G4697 on G1909 the multitude, G3793 because G3754 they continue G4357 with me G3427 now G2235 three G5140 days, G2250 and G2532 have G2192 nothing G3756 G5101 to eat: G5315 and G2532 I will G2309 not G3756 send G630 them G846 away G630 fasting, G3523 lest G3379 they faint G1590 in G1722 the way. G3598 And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 say G3004 unto him, G846 Whence G4159 should we G2254 have so much G5118 bread G740 in G1722 the wilderness, G2047 as G5620 to fill G5526 so great G5118 a multitude? G3793 And G2532 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them, G846 How many G4214 loaves G740 have ye? G2192 And G1161 they said, G2036 Seven, G2033 and G2532 a few G3641 little fishes. G2485 And G2532 he commanded G2753 the multitude G3793 to sit down G377 on G1909 the ground. G1093 And G2532 he took G2983 the seven G2033 loaves G740 and G2532 the fishes, G2486 and gave thanks, G2168 and brake G2806 them, and G2532 gave G1325 to his G846 disciples, G3101 and G1161 the disciples G3101 to the multitude. G3793 And G2532 they did G5315 all G3956 eat, G5315 and G2532 were filled: G5526 and G2532 they took up G142 of the broken G2801 meat that was left G4052 seven G2033 baskets G4711 full. G4134 And G1161 they that did eat G2068 were G2258 four thousand G5070 men, G435 beside G5565 women G1135 and G2532 children. G3813
And G2532 the apostles G652 gathered themselves together G4863 unto G4314 Jesus, G2424 and G2532 told G518 him G846 all things, G3956 both G2532 what G3745 they had done, G4160 and G2532 what G3745 they had taught. G1321 And G2532 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Come G1205 ye G5210 yourselves G846 apart G2596 G2398 into G1519 a desert G2048 place, G5117 and G2532 rest G373 a while: G3641 for G1063 there were G2258 many G4183 coming G2064 and G2532 going, G5217 and G2532 they had no G3761 leisure G2119 so much as G3761 to eat. G5315 And G2532 they departed G565 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 by ship G4143 privately. G2596 G2398 And G2532 the people G3793 saw G1492 them G846 departing, G5217 and G2532 many G4183 knew G1921 him, G846 and G2532 ran G4936 afoot G3979 thither G1563 out of G575 all G3956 cities, G4172 and G2532 outwent G4281 them, G846 and G2532 came together G4905 unto G4314 him. G846 And G2532 Jesus, G2424 when he came out, G1831 saw G1492 much G4183 people, G3793 and G2532 was moved with compassion G4697 toward G1909 them, G846 because G3754 they were G2258 as G5613 sheep G4263 not G3361 having G2192 a shepherd: G4166 and G2532 he began G756 to teach G1321 them G846 many things. G4183 And G2532 when the day G5610 was G1096 now G2235 far spent, G4183 his G846 disciples G3101 came G4334 unto him, G846 and said, G3004 G3754 This is G2076 a desert G2048 place, G5117 and G2532 now G2235 the time G5610 is far passed: G4183 Send G630 them G846 away, G630 that G2443 they may go G565 into G1519 the country G68 round about, G2945 and G2532 into the villages, G2968 and buy G59 themselves G1438 bread: G740 for G1063 they have G2192 nothing G5101 G3756 to eat. G5315 He answered G611 and G1161 said G2036 unto them, G846 Give G1325 ye G5210 them G846 to eat. G5315 And G2532 they say G3004 unto him, G846 Shall we go G565 and buy G59 two hundred G1250 pennyworth G1220 of bread, G740 and G2532 give G1325 them G846 to eat? G5315 G1161 He saith G3004 unto them, G846 How many G4214 loaves G740 have ye? G2192 go G5217 and G2532 see. G1492 And G2532 when they knew, G1097 they say, G3004 Five, G4002 and G2532 two G1417 fishes. G2486 And G2532 he commanded G2004 them G846 to make G347 all G3956 sit down G347 by companies G4849 G4849 upon G1909 the green G5515 grass. G5528 And G2532 they sat down G377 in ranks, G4237 G4237 by G303 hundreds, G1540 and G2532 by G303 fifties. G4004 And G2532 when he had taken G2983 the five G4002 loaves G740 and G2532 the two G1417 fishes, G2486 he looked up G308 to G1519 heaven, G3772 and blessed, G2127 and G2532 brake G2622 the loaves, G740 and G2532 gave G1325 them to his G846 disciples G3101 to G2443 set before G3908 them; G846 and G2532 the two G1417 fishes G2486 divided he G3307 among them all. G3956 And G2532 they did G5315 all G3956 eat, G5315 and G2532 were filled. G5526 And G2532 they took up G142 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 full G4134 of the fragments, G2801 and G2532 of G575 the fishes. G2486 And G2532 they that did eat G5315 of the loaves G740 were G2258 about G5616 five thousand G4000 men. G435
After G3326 these things G5023 Jesus G2424 went G565 over G4008 the sea G2281 of Galilee, G1056 which is the sea of Tiberias. G5085 And G2532 a great G4183 multitude G3793 followed G190 him, G846 because G3754 they saw G3708 his G846 miracles G4592 which G3739 he did G4160 on G1909 them that were diseased. G770 And G1161 Jesus G2424 went up G424 into G1519 a mountain, G3735 and G2532 there G1563 he sat G2521 with G3326 his G846 disciples. G3101 And G1161 the passover, G3957 a feast G1859 of the Jews, G2453 was G2258 nigh. G1451 When Jesus G2424 then G3767 lifted up G1869 his eyes, G3788 and G2532 saw G2300 G3754 a great G4183 company G3793 come G2064 unto G4314 him, G846 he saith G3004 unto G4314 Philip, G5376 Whence G4159 shall we buy G59 bread, G740 that G2443 these G3778 may eat? G5315 And G1161 this G5124 he said G3004 to prove G3985 him: G846 for G1063 he himself G846 knew G1492 what G5101 he would G3195 do. G4160 Philip G5376 answered G611 him, G846 Two hundred G1250 pennyworth G1220 of bread G740 is G714 not G3756 sufficient G714 for them, G846 that G2443 every one G1538 of them G846 may take G2983 a G5100 little. G1024 One G1520 of G1537 his G846 disciples, G3101 Andrew, G406 Simon G4613 Peter's G4074 brother, G80 saith G3004 unto him, G846 There is G2076 a G1520 lad G3808 here, G5602 which G3739 hath G2192 five G4002 barley G2916 loaves, G740 and G2532 two G1417 small fishes: G3795 but G235 what G5101 are G2076 they G5023 among G1519 so many? G5118 And G1161 Jesus G2424 said, G2036 Make G4160 the men G444 sit down. G377 Now G1161 there was G2258 much G4183 grass G5528 in G1722 the place. G5117 So G3767 the men G435 sat down, G377 in number G706 about G5616 five thousand. G4000 And G1161 Jesus G2424 took G2983 the loaves; G740 and G2532 when he had given thanks, G2168 he distributed G1239 to the disciples, G3101 and G1161 the disciples G3101 to them that were set down; G345 and G2532 likewise G3668 of G1537 the fishes G3795 as much as G3745 they would. G2309 When G1161 G5613 they were filled, G1705 he said G3004 unto his G846 disciples, G3101 Gather up G4863 the fragments G2801 that remain, G4052 that nothing G3363 G5100 be lost. G622 Therefore G3767 they gathered them together, G4863 and G2532 filled G1072 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 with the fragments G2801 of G1537 the five G4002 barley G2916 loaves, G740 which G3739 remained over and above G4052 unto them that had eaten. G977 Then G3767 those men, G444 when they had seen G1492 the miracle G4592 that G3739 Jesus G2424 did, G4160 said, G3004 This G3754 G3778 is G2076 of a truth G230 that prophet G4396 that should come G2064 into G1519 the world. G2889 When Jesus G2424 therefore G3767 perceived G1097 that G3754 they would G3195 come G2064 and G2532 take G726 him G846 by force, G726 to G2443 make G4160 him G846 a king, G935 he departed G402 again G3825 into G1519 a mountain G3735 himself G846 alone. G3441
At G1722 that G1565 time G2540 Herod G2264 the tetrarch G5076 heard G191 of the fame G189 of Jesus, G2424 And G2532 said G2036 unto his G846 servants, G3816 This G3778 is G2076 John G2491 the Baptist; G910 he G846 is risen G1453 from G575 the dead; G3498 and G2532 therefore G1223 G5124 mighty works G1411 do shew forth themselves G1754 in G1722 him.

Commentary on Matthew 14 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
CHAPTER 14
Mt 14:1-12. Herod Thinks Jesus a Resurrection of the Murdered Baptist—Account of His Imprisonment and Death. ( = Mr 6:14-29; Lu 9:7-9).
The time of this alarm of Herod Antipas appears to have been during the mission of the Twelve, and shortly after the Baptist—who had been in prison for probably more than a year—had been cruelly put to death.
Herod's Theory of the Works of Christ (Mt 14:1, 2).
1. At that time Herod the tetrarch—Herod Antipas, one of the three sons of Herod the Great, and own brother of Archelaus (Mt 2:22), who ruled as ethnarch over Galilee and Perea.
heard of the fame of Jesus—"for His name was spread abroad" (Mr 6:14).
2. And said unto his servants—his counsellors or court-ministers.
This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, &c.—The murdered prophet haunted his guilty breast like a specter and seemed to him alive again and clothed with unearthly powers in the person of Jesus.
Account of the Baptist's Imprisonment and Death (Mt 14:3-12). For the exposition of this portion, see on Mr 6:17-29.
Mt 14:12-21. Hearing of the Baptist's Death, Jesus Crosses the Lake with Twelve, and Miraculously Feeds Five Thousand. ( = Mr 6:30-44; Lu 9:10-17; Joh 6:1-14).
For the exposition of this section—one of the very few where all the four Evangelists run parallel—see on Mr 6:30-44.
Mt 14:22-26. Jesus Crosses to the Western Side of the Lake Walking on the Sea—Incidents on Landing. ( = Mr 6:45; Joh 6:15-24).
For the exposition, see on Joh 6:15-24.
28. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
29. And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat. he walked on the water, to go to Jesus—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
30. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
31. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
32. And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased—(Also see on Mr 6:50.)
