1 At (*) (1) that time Herod the Tetrarch heard
of the fame of Jesus,
(*) Mark 6:14; Luke 9:7 .
(1) Here is in John, an example of an invincible
courage, which all faithful Ministers of God's word
ought to follow; in Herod, an example of tyrannous
vanity, pride, and cruelty, and to be short, of a courtly
conscience, and of their inservable slavery, which have
once given themselves over to pleasures; in Herodias
and her daughter, an example of whorelike wantonness,
and womanlike cruelty.
2 And said unto his servants, This is John Baptist.
(*) He is risen again from the dead, and therefore
great (a) () works are wrought by him.
(*) He spake after the common error, for they thought
that the souls of them that were departed, entered into
another body.
(a) By works he meaneth that force and power, whereby
works are wrought and not the works, as is seen oft before.
() To approve his resurrection, and to get him greater
authority.
3 (*) For Herod had taken John, and bound him,
and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother
Philip's wife.
(*) Mark 6:17; Luke 3:19 .
4 For John said unto him, It is not (*) () lawful for thee
to have her.
(*) Leviticus 18:16; Leviticus 20:21 .
() As well because nature abhorreth such horrible incest,
as also that he had taken her by force from his brother.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared
the multitude, because they counted him as a (*) Prophet.
(*) Matthew 21:26 .
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter
of Herodias danced before them, and pleased (b) Herod.
(b) There were three Herods; the first of them was
Antipater's son, who is also called Ascalonius, in whose
reign Christ was born, and he it was that caused the
children to be slain. The second was called Antipas,
Magnus his son, whose mother's name was Malthaca
or Martaca, and this was called Tetrarch, by reason of
enlarging his dominion, when Archelaus was banished
to Vienna in France. The third was Agrippa, Magnus
his nephew by Aristobulus, and he it was that slew James.
7 Wherefore he (*) promised with an oath, that he would
give her whatsoever she would ask.
(*) The promise was wicked; but yet it was more vile
to be obstinate in the same, that he might seem constant.
8 And she being before instructed of her mother, said,
Give me here John Baptist's head in a platter.
9 And the King was sorry. Nevertheless, because of
the oath, and them that sat with him at the table, he
commanded it to be given her,
10 And sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a platter, and given to
the maid, and she brought it unto her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the (*) body,
and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
(*) Or, carcass.
13 (*) And when Jesus heard it, he departed thence
by ship into a () desert place apart. And when the
multitude had heard it, they followed him on foot out
of the cities.
(*) Mark 6:32; Luke 9:10 .
() To the intent that his disciples now after their
ambassage might somewhat rest them, or else that he
might instruct them to greater enterprises.
14 (2) And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude,
and was moved with compassion toward them, and he
healed their sick.
(2) Christ refresheth a great multitude with five loaves
and two little fishes, shewing thereby, that they shall want
nothing, which lay all things aside and seek the kingdom
of heaven.
15 ¶ And when even was come, (*) his disciples came
to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is
already past; let the multitude depart, that they may go into
the towns, and buy them () vitailles.
(*) Mark 6:35; Luke 9:12; John 6:5 .
() Or, Food; victuals.
16 But Jesus said to them, They have no (*) need to go
away; give ye them to eat.
(*) Christ leaveth them not destitute of bodily nourishment,
which seek the food of the soul.
17 Then said they unto him, We have here but five loaves,
and two fishes.
18 And he said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and
looked up to heaven, and (*) blessed, and brake, and
gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude.
(*) Or, prayed and gave thanks to God.
20 And they did all eat, and were sufficed, and they took
up of the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten, were about five thousand men,
beside women and little children.
22 ¶ And straightway Jesus (*) compelled his disciples
to enter into a ship, and to go over before him, while he
sent the multitude away.
(*) The disciples were loathe to depart from Christ; but
yet they shewed their obedience.
23 And as soon as he had sent the multitude away, he
went up into a mountain alone to pray; and (*) when the
evening was come, he was there alone.
(*) Mark 6:45-47; John 6:16-18 .
24 (3) And the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
and was tossed with waves; for it was a contrary wind.
(3) We must sail even through mighty tempests, and
Christ will never forsake us, so that we go whither he
hath commanded us.
25 And in the (c) (*) fourth watch of the night, Jesus
went unto them, walking on the sea.
(c) By the fourth watch is meant the time near to day
breaking; for in old time they divided the night into four
watches, in which they scouted.
(*) The night was divided into four watches, whereof
every one contained three hours.
26 And when his disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, It is a (d) spirit, and cried out
for fear.
(d) A spirit, as it is here taken, is that which a man
imagineth to himself vainly in his mind, persuading himself
that he seeth something, and seeth nothing.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,
(*) Be of good comfort, It is I; be not afraid.
(*) The presence of Christ maketh his bold.
28 (4) Then Peter answered him, and said, Master,
if it be thou, (*) bid me come unto thee on the water.
(4) By faith we tread under our feet even the tempests
themselves, but yet by the virtue of Christ, which helpeth
that virtue, which he of his mercy hath given.
(*) His zeal was great, but he had not sufficiently
considered the measure of his faith.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come
down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go
to Jesus.
30 But when he saw a mighty wind, he was afraid,
and as he (*) began to sink, he cried, saying, Master,
save me.
(*) His enterprise was too great, and therefore he
must needs fall in danger, when his faith failed.
31 So immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and
caught him, and said to him, (*) O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt?
(*) Christ correcteth his fault, and also giveth remedy
both at once.
32 And as soon as they were come into the ship, the
wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship, came and
worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son
of God.
34 ¶ (*) And when they were come over, they came
into the land of (e) Gennesaret.
(*) Mark 6:53 .
(e) This Gennesaret was a lake nigh to Capernaum,
which is also called the Sea of Galilee, and Tiberias,
so that the country itself grew to be called by that name.
35 (5) And when the men of that place knew him, they
sent out into all that country round about, and brought
unto him all that were sick,
(5) In that which Christ healeth the sick, we are given
to understand that we must seek remedy for spiritual
diseases at his hands; and that we are bound not only
to run ourselves, but also to bring others to him.
36 And besought him, that they might touch the hem
of his (*) garment only; and as many as touched it were
made whole.
(*) It seemeth they were led with a certain superstition,
notwithstanding our Saviour would not quench the
smoking flax, and therefore did bear with these small
beginnings.
