10. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
11. and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother.
12. And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
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.
14. And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.
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.
16. But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
17. But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
