Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,
Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ,
2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Immerser, he rose from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working 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 having laid hold on John, bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, 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 was saying to him, “It is not lawful to you to have her,”
ἔλεγεν γὰρ ⸂αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν·
5 and willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.
6 But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod,
⸂γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ,
7 after which with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
ὅθεν μετὰ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ⸀ἐὰναἰτήσηται.
8 And she, having been instigated by her mother, says, “Give me here on a plate the head of John the Immerser”;
ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς· Δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.
9 and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those dining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;
καὶ ⸂λυπηθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι,
10 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,
καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν ⸀τὸνἸωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ·
11 and his head was brought on a plate, and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] near to her mother.
καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
12 And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,
καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ ⸀πτῶμακαὶ ἔθαψαν ⸀αὐτόν καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
13 and Jesus having heard, withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by Himself, and the multitudes having heard followed Him on land from 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 Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, and healed their sick;
καὶ ⸀ἐξελθὼνεἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
15 and evening having come, His disciples came to Him, saying, “The place is desolate, and the hour has now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone into the villages, they may buy food for themselves.”
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 And Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away—you give them to eat.”
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.
17 And they say to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes.”
οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.
18 And He said, “Bring them to Me here.”
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Φέρετέ μοι ⸂ὧδε αὐτούς.
19 And having commanded the multitudes to recline on the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the sky, He blessed, and having broken, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitudes,
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 all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;
καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
21 and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
22 And immediately Jesus constrained His disciples to go into the boat, and to go before Him to the other side, until He might let away the multitudes;
Καὶ εὐθέως ⸀ἠνάγκασεντοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι ⸀εἰςπλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
23 and having let away the multitudes, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray, and evening having come, He was there alone,
καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατʼ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.
24 and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the 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 Jesus went away to them, walking on the sea,
τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς ⸀ἦλθενπρὸς ⸀αὐτοὺςπεριπατῶν ἐπὶ ⸂τὴν θάλασσαν.
26 and the disciples having seen Him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, “It is an apparition,” and from the fear they cried out;
⸂οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ⸂τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες ὅτι Φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.
27 and immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage! I AM; do not be afraid.”
⸀εὐθὺςδὲ ἐλάλησεν ⸂αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
28 And Peter answering Him said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the waters”;
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ⸂αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ⸂ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα·
29 and He said, “Come”; and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked on the waters to come to Jesus,
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ ⸀πλοίουΠέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα ⸂καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
30 but seeing the vehement wind, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ⸀ἰσχυρὸνἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν λέγων· Κύριε, σῶσόν με.
31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him and says to him, “Little faith! For why did you waver?”
εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;
32 And they having gone into the boat, the wind stilled,
καὶ ⸀ἀναβάντωναὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.
33 and those in the boat having come, worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly God’s Son.”
οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ ⸀πλοίῳπροσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· Ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.
34 And having passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret,
Καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον ⸂ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν εἰς Γεννησαρέτ.
35 and having recognized Him, the men of that place sent forth to all that surrounding region, and they brought to Him all who were ill,
καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,
36 and were calling on Him that they might only touch the fringe of His garment, and as many as touched were saved.
καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
