< Matthew 14 >

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Yahushua,
Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· Οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἔδησεν ⸀αὐτὸνκαὶ ⸂ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ,
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
ἔλεγεν γὰρ ⸂αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν·
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
⸂γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ,
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
ὅθεν μετὰ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ⸀ἐὰναἰτήσηται.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς· Δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
καὶ ⸂λυπηθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι,
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν ⸀τὸνἸωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ·
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Yahushua.
καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ ⸀πτῶμακαὶ ἔθαψαν ⸀αὐτόν καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
13 When Yahushua heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
⸂Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατʼ ἰδίαν· καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.
14 And Yahushua went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
καὶ ⸀ἐξελθὼνεἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ ⸀μαθηταὶλέγοντες· Ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα.
16 But Yahushua said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Φέρετέ μοι ⸂ὧδε αὐτούς.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ ⸂τοῦ χόρτου, λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν καὶ κλάσας ἔδωκεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς τοὺς ἄρτους οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
22 And straightway Yahushua constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Καὶ εὐθέως ⸀ἠνάγκασεντοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι ⸀εἰςπλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατʼ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη ⸂σταδίους πολλοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀπεῖχεν, βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Yahushua went unto them, walking on the sea.
τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς ⸀ἦλθενπρὸς ⸀αὐτοὺςπεριπατῶν ἐπὶ ⸂τὴν θάλασσαν.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
⸂οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ⸂τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες ὅτι Φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.
27 But straightway Yahushua spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
⸀εὐθὺςδὲ ἐλάλησεν ⸂αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
28 And Kepha answered him and said, My master, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ⸂αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ⸂ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα·
29 And he said, Come. And when Kepha was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Yahushua.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ ⸀πλοίουΠέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα ⸂καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, My master, save me.
βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ⸀ἰσχυρὸνἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν λέγων· Κύριε, σῶσόν με.
31 And immediately Yahushua stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
καὶ ⸀ἀναβάντωναὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of Elohim.
οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ ⸀πλοίῳπροσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· Ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον ⸂ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν εἰς Γεννησαρέτ.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
