< Matthew 14 >
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch, hearing of the fame of Jesus,
In that time Herodes Tetrarka heard the rumour concerning Jeshu;
2 said to his servants, This is John the Immerser; he is raised from the dead and therefore miracles are performed by 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 For Herod had caused John to be apprehended, imprisoned, and bound, 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 for John had said to 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 And Herod would have put him to death, but was afraid of the populace, who accounted him a prophet.
And he would have killed him, but he feared the people, because as a prophet they held him.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and pleased Herod,
But at the birth-day of Herodes, the daughter of Herodia danced before those who reclined, and she pleased Herodes;
7 wherefore he swore he would grant her whatever she would ask.
wherefore with an oath he sware to her to give her whatever she should demand.
8 She being instigated by her mother, said, Give me here, in a basin, the head of John the Immerser.
Then she, because instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, from a regard to his oath and his guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
And the king sickened, yet, on account of the oath and the guests, he commanded that it should be given to her.
10 Accordingly John was beheaded in the prison by his order.
And he sent cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the chained.
11 And his head was brought in a basin, and presented to the young woman; and she 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 After which, his disciples went and brought the body, and having buried it, came and told Jesus.
And his disciples came near, took up his corpse, buried (it), and came and showed Jeshu.
13 When Jesus heard this, he embarked privately; and retired into a desert place; of which the people being informed followed him by land out of the cities.
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 Observing, as he landed, a great multitude, 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 Toward the evening, his disciples accosted him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the villages; and buy themselves provisions.
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 Jesus answered, They need not go. Supply them yourselves.
But he said to them, It is not needful that they should go; give you them to eat.
17 They said to him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes.
They said to him, We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
18 He replied, Bring them hither to me.
Jeshu said to them, Bring them hither to me.
19 Then having commanded the people to recline upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking toward heaven, blessed them; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and they distributed them among 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 When all had eat, and were satisfied, they carried off twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
And all did eat, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the abundance of the fragments, twelve baskets when full.
21 Now they that had eat were about five thousand men; besides women and children.
Now those men who had eaten were five thousand, besides women and children.
22 Immediately he obliged the disciples to embark and pass over before him, while he dismissed the multitude.
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 Having dismissed the multitude, he retired by himself to a mountain to pray, and remained 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 By that time the bark was half way over, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
But the vessel was distant from the land many stadia, being greatly beaten with the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went 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, being terrified, they exclaimed, An apparition! and cried out for 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 Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I, be not afraid.
But Jeshu at once spoke to them, and said, Take courage, I am, fear not!
28 Peter answering, said to him, If it be you, Master, bid 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 Jesus said, Come. Then Peter getting out of the bark, walked on the water toward Jesus.
Jeshu said to him, Come. And Kipha descended from the ship, and walked on the waters to go to Jeshu.
30 But finding the wind boisterous, he was frightened; and beginning to sink, cried, Master, 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 Jesus instantly stretching out his hand, caught him; and said to him, Distrustful man, wherefore 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 When they had gone aboard, the wind ceased.
And when they had ascended into the ship, the wind was tranquil.
33 Then those in the bark came, and prostrated themselves before him, saying, You are assuredly God's son.
And they who were in the ship, came and adored him, and said, Truly the Son thou art of Aloha.
34 Having passed over, they landed on the territory of Gennesaret;
And they rowed, and came to the land of Genésar;
35 the inhabitants of which knowing him, sent through all that country, and brought to him all the diseased,
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 who besought him to let them touch but a tuft of his mantle; and as man as touched were cured.
and besought from him that they might touch only the border of his mantle; and those who touched were healed.
