35 And G2532 when the men G435 of that G1565 place G5117 had knowledge G1921 of him, G846 they sent out G649 into G1519 all G3650 that G1565 country round about, G4066 and G2532 brought G4374 unto him G846 all G3956 that were G2192 diseased; G2560
And G2532 his G846 fame G189 went G565 throughout G1519 all G3650 Syria: G4947 and G2532 they brought G4374 unto him G846 all G3956 sick G2560 people G2192 that were taken with G4912 divers G4164 diseases G3554 and G2532 torments, G931 and G2532 those which were possessed with devils, G1139 and G2532 those which were lunatick, G4583 and G2532 those that had the palsy; G3885 and G2532 he healed G2323 them. G846 And G2532 there followed G190 him G846 great G4183 multitudes of people G3793 from G575 Galilee, G1056 and G2532 from Decapolis, G1179 and G2532 from Jerusalem, G2414 and G2532 from Judaea, G2449 and G2532 from beyond G4008 Jordan. G2446
And G1161 immediately G2117 his G846 fame G189 spread abroad G1831 throughout G1519 all G3650 the region round about G4066 Galilee. G1056 And G2532 forthwith, G2112 when they were come G1831 out of G1537 the synagogue, G4864 they entered G2064 into G1519 the house G3614 of Simon G4613 and G2532 Andrew, G406 with G3326 James G2385 and G2532 John. G2491 But G1161 Simon's G4613 wife's mother G3994 lay G2621 sick of a fever, G4445 and G2532 anon G2112 they tell G3004 him G846 of G4012 her. G846 And G2532 he came G4334 and took G2902 her G846 by the hand, G5495 and lifted G1453 her G846 up; G1453 and G2532 immediately G2112 the fever G4446 left G863 her, G846 and G2532 she ministered G1247 unto them. G846 And G1161 at G1096 even, G3798 when G3753 the sun G2246 did set, G1416 they brought G5342 unto G4314 him G846 all G3956 that were G2192 diseased, G2560 and G2532 them that were possessed with devils. G1139 And G2532 all G3650 the city G4172 was G2258 gathered together G1996 at G4314 the door. G2374 And G2532 he healed G2323 many G4183 that were G2192 sick G2560 of divers G4164 diseases, G3554 and G2532 cast out G1544 many G4183 devils; G1140 and G2532 suffered G863 not G3756 the devils G1140 to speak, G2980 because G3754 they knew G1492 him. G846
And G2532 again G3825 he entered G1525 into G1519 Capernaum G2584 after G1223 some days; G2250 and G2532 it was noised G191 that G3754 he was G2076 in G1519 the house. G3624 And G2532 straightway G2112 many G4183 were gathered together, G4863 insomuch that G5620 there was G5562 no G3371 room to receive G5562 them, no, not so much G3366 as about G4314 the door: G2374 and G2532 he preached G2980 the word G3056 unto them. G846 And G2532 they come G2064 unto G4314 him, G846 bringing G5342 one sick of the palsy, G3885 which was borne G142 of G5259 four. G5064 And G2532 when they could G1410 not G3361 come nigh G4331 unto him G846 for G1223 the press, G3793 they uncovered G648 the roof G4721 where G3699 he was: G2258 and G2532 when they had broken it up, G1846 they let down G5465 the bed G2895 wherein G1909 G3739 the sick of the palsy G3885 lay. G2621 When G1161 Jesus G2424 saw G1492 their G846 faith, G4102 he said G3004 unto the sick of the palsy, G3885 Son, G5043 thy G4675 sins G266 be forgiven G863 thee. G4671 But G1161 there were G2258 certain G5100 of the scribes G1122 sitting G2521 there, G1563 and G2532 reasoning G1260 in G1722 their G846 hearts, G2588 Why G5101 doth G2980 this G3778 man thus G3779 speak G2980 blasphemies? G988 who G5101 can G1410 forgive G863 sins G266 but G1508 God G2316 only? G1520 And G2532 immediately G2112 when Jesus G2424 perceived G1921 in his G846 spirit G4151 that G3754 they so G3779 reasoned G1260 within G1722 themselves, G1438 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Why G5101 reason ye G1260 these things G5023 in G1722 your G5216 hearts? G2588 Whether G5101 is it G2076 easier G2123 to say G2036 to the sick of the palsy, G3885 Thy sins G266 be forgiven G863 thee; G4671 or G2228 to say, G2036 Arise, G1453 and G2532 take up G142 thy G4675 bed, G2895 and G2532 walk? G4043 But G1161 that G2443 ye may know G1492 that G3754 the Son G5207 of man G444 hath G2192 power G1849 on G1909 earth G1093 to forgive G863 sins, G266 (he saith G3004 to the sick of the palsy,) G3885 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 Arise, G1453 and G2532 take up G142 thy G4675 bed, G2895 and G2532 go thy way G5217 into G1519 thine G4675 house. G3624 And G2532 immediately G2112 he arose, G1453 took up G142 the bed, G2895 and G2532 went forth G1831 before G1726 them all; G3956 insomuch that G5620 they were G1839 all G3956 amazed, G1839 and G2532 glorified G1392 God, G2316 saying, G3004 G3754 We G1492 never G3763 saw G1492 it on this fashion. G3779
And G2532 from G575 Jerusalem, G2414 and G2532 from G575 Idumaea, G2401 and G2532 from beyond G4008 Jordan; G2446 and G2532 they about G4012 Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon, G4605 a great G4183 multitude, G4128 when they had heard G191 what great things G3745 he did, G4160 came G2064 unto G4314 him. G846 And G2532 he spake G2036 to his G846 disciples, G3101 that G2443 a small ship G4142 should wait on G4342 him G846 because G1223 of the multitude, G3793 lest G3363 they should throng G2346 him. G846 For G1063 he had healed G2323 many; G4183 insomuch that G5620 they pressed upon G1968 him G846 for to G2443 touch G680 him, G846 as many as G3745 had G2192 plagues. G3148

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.)
