6. Now at the yom huledet celebration of Herod, it came about that the daughter of Herodias danced before them and Herod was pleased.
7. Herod, therefore, with a shevuah, promised to give to her whatever she might ask.
8. So she, prompted by her mother, said, Give to me here upon a serving tray the rosh (head) Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
9. And, although grieving, the king commanded [it] to be given, on account of the shevuot (oaths) and the fellow muzmanim (guests)
10. And he sent and had Yochanan beheaded in the beit hasohar.
11. And the rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva was brought upon a serving tray, and it was presented to the girl and she presented it to her mother.
12. And Yochanan's talmidim approached and carried away the niftar (deceased person) and buried him. Then they went and reported [it] to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
13. And when he heard [this], he withdrew from there in a sirah (boat) to a desolate place by himself. And when the multitudes heard [this], they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach by land from the shtetlach.
14. And having gone out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a great multitude, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach felt rachmei shomayim (heavenly compassion) for them and brought refuah (healing) to their cholim.
15. Now when erev (evening) came, Moshiach's talmidim came to him, saying, This place is desolate and the time is late. Dismiss the multitude, so that, having gone into the shtetlach, they may buy for themselves okhel (food).
16. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, They have no need to go away. You yourselves give them something to eat.
17. But Moshiach's talmidim say to him, We do not have here anything except five loaves and of dagim (fish), only two.
18. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Bring them here to me.
19. And having commanded the multitudes to recline on the grass [as at tish] and having taken the five loaves and the two dagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over the okhel, and having offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the lechem to the talmidim, and Moshiach's talmidim served the lechem to the multitudes
20. And everyone ate and they were satisfied, and they took away shirayim (Rebbe's remainders, leftovers), shneym asar (twelve) baskets full.
21. And the ones eating were about chamesh elafim (five thousand) men, apart from the nashim and yeladim.
