Gen Z: Matthew 14
1At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard about Jesus's clout,
2And told his crew, "This is John the Baptist; he’s back from the dead, and he’s doing some wild stuff."
3For Herod had snatched John up, locked him up, all 'cause of Herodias, his bro Philip’s wife.
4John was like, "You can't have her, that's sus."
5And when he thought about taking him out, he got shook by the crowd, 'cause they saw him as a prophet.
6But when Herod’s birthday popped off, Herodias’s daughter danced for them, and Herod was vibin'.
7So he promised on the spot to give her whatever she wanted.
8And she, prepped by her mom, was like, "Yo, I want John the Baptist’s head on a platter."
9The king was bummed, but since he made a promise and didn’t want to look weak in front of his guests, he said to do it.
10And he sent out, and beheaded John in the clink.
11So, they brought his head on a platter to the girl, and she took it to her mom. That's savage.
12His crew showed up, grabbed the body, buried it, and then went to tell Jesus, no cap.
13When Jesus heard what went down, he dipped by boat to a chill spot in the desert, but the crowd followed him on foot from the towns.
14Jesus rolled up, saw a huge crowd, felt mad compassion for them, and started healing their sick.
15When evening hit, his squad came to him and said, "Yo, this place is a desert, it's getting late; send everyone away so they can grab some food."
16But Jesus was like, "Nah, they don't need to bounce; just feed them."
17They replied, "We only got five loaves and two fish, fr."
18He said, "Bring that over here."
19Then he told the crowd to chill on the grass, took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed it, broke it, and passed it to his crew to give to the crowd.
20Everybody ate and was full, and they collected twelve baskets of leftovers.
21Like, there were about five thousand dudes who ate, not counting the ladies and kids.
22Jesus was like, "Yo, disciples, hop in the boat and cruise to the other side while I handle the crowd."
23After sending everyone off, he climbed a mountain to pray, and when evening hit, he was solo up there.
24But the boat was in the middle of the sea, getting tossed around 'cause the wind was being sus.
25In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus just walked on the sea to them, no cap.
26The disciples saw him walking and freaked out, thinking it was a ghost, and they were scared AF.
27But Jesus was like, "Chill, it's me; don’t be scared."
28Peter was like, "Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come out on the water."
29Jesus said, "Come." So Peter stepped outta the boat and walked on the water to Jesus.
30But when he noticed the crazy wind, he got shook, started sinking, and yelled, "Lord, save me!"
31Jesus reached out, grabbed him, and was like, "Yo, why you doubting? You gotta have more rizz, my dude."
32Once they got in the boat, the wind was like, "I'm out," and just chillaxed.
33The crew in the boat came through and worshipped him, saying, "For real, you the Son of God."
34After they crossed over, they rolled up to the land of Gennesaret.
35When the locals heard about him, they spread the word everywhere and brought all the sick peeps to him; no cap.
36They just wanted to touch the edge of his drip, and everyone who touched it got healed, periodt.
