Matthew 14:12-14

14:12 Then John’s ¹  disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus.

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

14:13 Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it, ²  they followed him on foot from the towns. ³  14:14 As he got out he saw the large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

[14:12]  ¹ tn Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[14:13]  ² tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[14:13]  ³ tn Or “cities.”
