Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus:
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
and he said to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that they regarded him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
But when Herod's birthday festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at food, he commanded it to be given her.
And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
And he sent and cut off the head of John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
And the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
And his disciples came and bore away the corpse, and buried it; and they went and informed Jesus.
13 When Jesus 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.
And Jesus, when he had heard it, retired alone, in a ship, to a desert place. And when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him by dry land from the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
And when Jesus disembarked, he saw great multitudes; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
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.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is gone; send away the throngs of people, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give all of you them to eat.
But he said to them: It is not necessary for them to go; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
And they said to him: We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them here to me.
Jesus said to them: Bring them here to me.
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.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the five cakes and two fishes, and he looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples placed before the multitudes.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the broken remains, twelve full baskets.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
And the men who had eaten were five thousand, besides the women and children.
22 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to embark in a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent away the multitudes.
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.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
And the ship was distant from land many furlongs: meanwhile it was much tossed by the waves; for the wind was adverse to it.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came up to them, walking upon the waters.
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.
And his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they were perturbated: and they said, What we see is a spectre: and they cried out through fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Have courage: it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come unto you on the water.
Cephas replied, and said to him: My Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
And Jesus said to him, Come. And Cephas descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
But when he saw the wind to be violent, he was afraid, and began to sink. And he raised his voice, and said: My Lord, rescue me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O you of little faith, wherefore did you doubt?
And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust!
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
And as they entered the ship, the wind subsided.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Truthfully you are the Son of God.
And they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God!
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
And they rowed on, and came to the land of Gennesaret.
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;
And the men of that place knew him: and they sent to all the villages around them; and they brought to him all that were very sick;
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
and they entreated of him, that they might touch at least the extremity of his garment. And they who touched, were healed.
