The martyrdom of John; his imprisonment for his faithfulness to Herod ( Matthew 14:1-5 ), and the beheading of him to please Herodias, Matthew 14:6-12 . II. The miracles of Christ. 1. His feeding five thousand men that came to him to be taught, with five loaves and two fishes, Matthew 14:13-21 . 2. Christ's walking on the waves to his disciples in a storm, Matthew 14:22-23 . 3. His healing the sick with the touch of the hem of his garment, Matthew 14:34-36 .
