< Matthew 14 >

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
2 and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.
και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω
3 For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.
ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν αυτον και εθετο εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου
4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
5 And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.
και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
6 But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;
γενεσιων δε αγομενων του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη
7 whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
8 But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
9 And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.
και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
10 And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
11 and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] to her mother.
και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
12 And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το σωμα και εθαψαν αυτο και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
13 And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.
και ακουσας ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εν πλοιω εις ερημον τοπον κατ ιδιαν και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι ηκολουθησαν αυτω πεζη απο των πολεων
14 And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.
και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτους και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
15 But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.
οψιας δε γενομενης προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ερημος εστιν ο τοπος και η ωρα ηδη παρηλθεν απολυσον τους οχλους ινα απελθοντες εις τας κωμας αγορασωσιν εαυτοις βρωματα
16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν απελθειν δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν
17 But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
18 And he said, Bring them here to me.
ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
19 And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.
και κελευσας τους οχλους ανακλιθηναι επι τους χορτους και λαβων τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον ευλογησεν και κλασας εδωκεν τοις μαθηταις τους αρτους οι δε μαθηται τοις οχλοις
20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
21 But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
22 And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.
και ευθεως ηναγκασεν ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
23 And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
24 but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον της θαλασσης ην βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
25 But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης
26 And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.
και ιδοντες αυτον οι μαθηται επι την θαλασσαν περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν
27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid.
ευθεως δε ελαλησεν αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
28 And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
αποκριθεις δε αυτω ο πετρος ειπεν κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
29 And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν προς τον ιησουν
30 But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
32 And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
33 But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.
οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
34 And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.
και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γεννησαρετ
35 And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,
και επιγνοντες αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου εκεινου απεστειλαν εις ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας
36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.
και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
