NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,1 At that time Herod, ruler of Galilee, heard the news about Jesus.1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.2 He said to his officials, "This is John the Baptizer! He has come back to life. That's why he has the power to perform these miracles."2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."2 and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.
3 For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.3 Herod had arrested John, tied him up, and put him in prison. Herod did this for Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.3 For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.3 For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.
4 For John had been saying to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.4 John had been telling Herod, "It's not right for you to be married to her."4 For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.5 So Herod wanted to kill John. However, he was afraid of the people because they thought John was a prophet.5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.5 And while desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

8 Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.8 Urged by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer."8 But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
9 Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.9 The king regretted his promise. But because of his oath and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted.9 The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,9 And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with him, he commanded it to be given.

13 Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.13 When Jesus heard about John, he left in a boat and went to a place where he could be alone. The crowds heard about this and followed him on foot from the cities.13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.13 And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard of it followed him on foot from the cities.

He felt sorry for them and cured their sick people.14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude.

15 When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.15 In the evening the disciples came to him. They said, "No one lives around here, and it's already late. Send the crowds to the villages to buy food for themselves."15 When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, "This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."15 But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

You give them something to eat."16 But Jesus said to them, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.

18 And He said, "Bring them here to Me."18 He said, Bring them hither to me.18 Jesus said, "Bring them to me."18 He said, "Bring them here to me."18 And he said, Bring them here to me.
19 Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.19 Then he ordered the people to sit down on the grass.

He broke the loaves apart, gave them to the disciples, and they gave them to the people.19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes.19 And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20 and they all ate and were satisfied.

23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.23 After sending the people away, he went up a mountain to pray by himself.
