Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
In that time Herodes Tetrarka heard the rumour concerning Jeshu;
2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
and he said to his servants, This is Juchanon the Baptizer: he hath risen from the house of the dead, therefore powerful works are wrought by him.
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
For he, Herodes, had seized Juchanon, and bound him, and cast him (into) the house of the chained, because of Herodia the wife of Philip his brother.
4 because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
for Juchanon had said to him, It is not lawful that she should be to thee a wife.
5 Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
And he would have killed him, but he feared the people, because as a prophet they held him.
6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
But at the birth-day of Herodes, the daughter of Herodia danced before those who reclined, and she pleased Herodes;
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
wherefore with an oath he sware to her to give her whatever she should demand.
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Then she, because instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
And the king sickened, yet, on account of the oath and the guests, he commanded that it should be given to her.
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
And he sent cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the chained.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the girl, and she carried it herself to her mother.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
And his disciples came near, took up his corpse, buried (it), and came and showed Jeshu.
13 When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.
Then Jeshu, when he heard, removed from thence by ship to a desert place by himself; and when the multitude heard it, they came after him on dry land from the cities.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
And Jeshu came forth, and saw great multitudes, and felt compassion for them, and healed their diseases.
15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
BUT when it was eventide, his disciples approached him, and said to him, The place is desert, and the time passed over; send away these multitudes of men, that they may go to the villages, and buy for themselves food.
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
But he said to them, It is not needful that they should go; give you them to eat.
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
They said to him, We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
Jeshu said to them, Bring them hither to me.
19 And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
And he directed the multitudes to recline upon the ground; and he took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples themselves placed (it) before the multitudes.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
And all did eat, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the abundance of the fragments, twelve baskets when full.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Now those men who had eaten were five thousand, besides women and children.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and proceed before him to the other shore, while he was dismissing the crowds.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself, to pray. AND when it was dark, he alone was there.
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
But the vessel was distant from the land many stadia, being greatly beaten with the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
But in the fourth watch of the night, Jeshu came to them, walking upon the waters.
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
And the disciples beheld him walking on the waters, and they were troubled, saying, That it was a spectre; and from fear they cried out.
27 But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
But Jeshu at once spoke to them, and said, Take courage, I am, fear not!
28 “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
And Kipha answered, and said to him, My Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
29 “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
Jeshu said to him, Come. And Kipha descended from the ship, and walked on the waters to go to Jeshu.
30 But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
But when he saw the furious wind, he feared, and began to sink; and he lifted up his voice, and said, My Lord, deliver me!
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and seized him, and said to him, Little of faith, why art thou divided (in mind)?
32 And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
And when they had ascended into the ship, the wind was tranquil.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
And they who were in the ship, came and adored him, and said, Truly the Son thou art of Aloha.
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
And they rowed, and came to the land of Genésar;
35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him
and the men of that country recognized him, and sent to all the villages that were about them, and they brought to him all those who were grievously afflicted,
36 and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
and besought from him that they might touch only the border of his mantle; and those who touched were healed.
