28 And G1161 Peter G4074 answered G611 him G846 and said, G2036 Lord, G2962 if G1487 it be G1488 thou, G4771 bid G2753 me G3165 come G2064 unto G4314 thee G4571 on G1909 the water. G5204
And G1161 the Lord G2962 said, G2036 Simon, G4613 Simon, G4613 behold, G2400 Satan G4567 hath desired G1809 to have you, G5209 that he may sift G4617 you as G5613 wheat: G4621 But G1161 I G1473 have prayed G1189 for G4012 thee, G4675 that G3363 thy G4675 faith G4102 fail G1587 not: G3363 and G2532 when G4218 thou G4771 art converted, G1994 strengthen G4741 thy G4675 brethren. G80 And G1161 he said G2036 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 I am G1510 ready G2092 to go G4198 with G3326 thee, G4675 both G2532 into G1519 prison, G5438 and G2532 to G1519 death. G2288 And G1161 he said, G2036 I tell G3004 thee, G4671 Peter, G4074 the cock G220 shall G5455 not G3364 crow G5455 this day, G4594 before that G4250 thou shalt G2228 thrice G5151 deny G533 that thou G3361 knowest G1492 me. G3165
Peter G4074 answered G611 and G1161 said G2036 unto him, G846 Though G1499 all G3956 men shall be offended G4624 because G1722 of thee, G4671 yet will I G1473 never G3763 be offended. G4624 Jesus G2424 said G5346 unto him, G846 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 That G3754 this G1722 G5026 night, G3571 before G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 Peter G4074 said G3004 unto him, G846 Though G2579 I G3165 should G1163 die G599 with G4862 thee, G4671 yet G3364 will I G533 not G3364 deny G533 thee. G4571 Likewise G3668 also G2532 said G2036 all G3956 the disciples. G3101
When G1161 they which were about G4012 him G846 saw G1492 what would follow, G2071 they said G2036 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 G1487 shall we smite G3960 with G1722 the sword? G3162 And G2532 one G1520 G5100 of G1537 them G846 smote G3960 the servant G1401 of the high priest, G749 and G2532 cut off G851 his G846 right G1188 ear. G3775
Simon G4613 Peter G4074 said G3004 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 whither G4226 goest G5217 thou? Jesus G2424 answered G611 him, G846 Whither G3699 I go, G5217 thou canst G1410 not G3756 follow G190 me G3427 now; G3568 but G1161 thou shalt follow G190 me G3427 afterwards. G5305 Peter G4074 said G3004 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 why G1302 cannot G3756 G1410 I follow G190 thee G4671 now? G737 I will lay down G5087 my G3450 life G5590 for G5228 thy sake. G4675 Jesus G2424 answered G611 him, G846 Wilt thou lay down G5087 thy G4675 life G5590 for G5228 my sake? G1700 Verily, G281 verily, G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 The cock G220 shall G5455 not G3364 crow, G5455 till G2193 G3739 thou hast denied G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151

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.)
