22 And G2532 straightway G2112 Jesus G2424 constrained G315 his G846 disciples G3101 to get G1684 into G1519 a ship, G4143 and G2532 to go before G4254 him G846 unto G1519 the other side, G4008 while G2193 G3739 he sent G630 the multitudes G3793 away. G630
And G2532 straightway G2112 he constrained G315 his G846 disciples G3101 to get G1684 into G1519 the ship, G4143 and G2532 to go G4254 to G1519 the other side G4008 before G4254 unto G4314 Bethsaida, G966 while G2193 he G846 sent away G630 the people. G3793 And G2532 when he had sent G657 them G846 away, G657 he departed G565 into G1519 a mountain G3735 to pray. G4336 And G2532 when even G3798 was come, G1096 the ship G4143 was G2258 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the sea, G2281 and G2532 he G846 alone G3441 on G1909 the land. G1093 And G2532 he saw G1492 them G846 toiling G928 in G1722 rowing; G1643 for G1063 the wind G417 was G2258 contrary G1727 unto them: G846 and G2532 about G4012 the fourth G5067 watch G5438 of the night G3571 he cometh G2064 unto G4314 them, G846 walking G4043 upon G1909 the sea, G2281 and G2532 would G2309 have passed by G3928 them. G846 But G1161 when they saw G1492 him G846 walking G4043 upon G1909 the sea, G2281 they supposed G1380 it had been G1511 a spirit, G5326 and G2532 cried out: G349 For G1063 they all G3956 saw G1492 him, G846 and G2532 were troubled. G5015 And G2532 immediately G2112 he talked G2980 with G3326 them, G846 and G2532 saith G3004 unto them, G846 Be of good cheer: G2293 it is G1510 I; G1473 be G5399 not G3361 afraid. G5399 And G2532 he went up G305 unto G4314 them G846 into G1519 the ship; G4143 and G2532 the wind G417 ceased: G2869 and G2532 they were sore G3029 amazed G1839 in G1722 themselves G1438 beyond G1537 measure, G4053 and G2532 wondered. G2296
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 And G1161 when G5613 even G3798 was now come, G1096 his G846 disciples G3101 went down G2597 unto G1909 the sea, G2281 And G2532 entered G1684 into G1519 a ship, G4143 and went G2064 over G4008 the sea G2281 toward G1519 Capernaum. G2584 And G2532 it was G1096 now G2235 dark, G4653 and G2532 Jesus G2424 was G2064 not G3756 come G2064 to G4314 them. G846 And G5037 the sea G2281 arose G1326 by reason of a great G3173 wind G417 that blew. G4154 So G3767 when they had rowed G1643 about G5613 five G4002 and twenty G1501 or G2228 thirty G5144 furlongs, G4712 they see G2334 Jesus G2424 walking G4043 on G1909 the sea, G2281 and G2532 drawing G1096 nigh G1451 unto the ship: G4143 and G2532 they were afraid. G5399 But G1161 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 It is G1510 I; G1473 be G5399 not G3361 afraid. G5399 Then G3767 they willingly G2309 received G2983 him G846 into G1519 the ship: G4143 and G2532 immediately G2112 the ship G4143 was G1096 at G1909 the land G1093 whither G1519 G3739 they went.

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.)
