Matthew 14
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
In that time Herodes Tetrarka heard the rumour concerning Jeshu;
2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in 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 arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake 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 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 though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd because they regarded him as 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 came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
But at the birth-day of Herodes, the daughter of Herodia danced before those who reclined, and she pleased Herodes;
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
wherefore with an oath he sware to her to give her whatever she should demand.
8 And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
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 grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
And the king sickened, yet, on account of the oath and the guests, he commanded that it should be given to her.
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
And he sent cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the chained.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the young woman: and she brought 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 Then his disciples came, and took the dead body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
And his disciples came near, took up his corpse, buried (it), and came and showed Jeshu.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from 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 And he went out, and he saw a large crowd, and 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 Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
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 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
But he said to them, It is not needful that they should go; give you them to eat.
17 And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
They said to him, We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
18 So he said, "Bring them here to me."
Jeshu said to them, Bring them hither to me.
19 Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.
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 And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
And all did eat, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the abundance of the fragments, twelve baskets when full.
21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Now those men who had eaten were five thousand, besides women and children.
22 And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.
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 And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was 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 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, battered by the waves, for the wind was against it.
But the vessel was distant from the land many stadia, being greatly beaten with the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 And in the watch between three and six in the morning, he came to them, walking on the sea.
But in the fourth watch of the night, Jeshu came to them, walking upon the waters.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with 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 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
But Jeshu at once spoke to them, and said, Take courage, I am, fear not!
28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."
And Kipha answered, and said to him, My Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
29 He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the water and went toward Jesus.
Jeshu said to him, Come. And Kipha descended from the ship, and walked on the waters to go to Jeshu.
30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he yelled, saying, "Lord, 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 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why 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 got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
And when they had ascended into the ship, the wind was tranquil.
33 Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."
And they who were in the ship, came and adored him, and said, Truly the Son thou art of Aloha.
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
And they rowed, and came to the land of Genésar;
35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,
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 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
and besought from him that they might touch only the border of his mantle; and those who touched were healed.
