Matthew 14
1 At that [very] time heard Herod the tetrarch the news of Jesus
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,
2 and he said to the servants of him; This is John the Baptist; he himself is risen from the dead, and because of this the miraculous powers are working in him.
and said to his servants, This is John the baptist, he is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by him:
3 For Herod having seized John he bound him and in (*o*) prison (put [him] aside *N(k)O*) on account of Herodias the wife of Philip the brother of him.
for Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
4 Were saying for John to him; Not it is lawful for you to have her.
for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,
5 Although wishing him to kill he feared the multitude because as a prophet him they were holding.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed him as a prophet.
6 ([The] birthday *N(k)O*) now (having happened *N(k)O*) of Herod danced the daughter of Herodias in the midst and pleased Herod;
But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 whereupon with oath he promised to her to give whatever (if *NK(o)*) she shall ask.
that he promised her with an oath to give her whatever she would ask:
8 And having been urged on by the mother of her; do give to me she says here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
and she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of John the baptist:
9 And (being grieved *N(k)O*) the king on account of (now *k*) the oaths and those reclining with [him] he commanded [it] to be given.
at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given her;
10 And he having sent beheaded John in the prison.
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison,
11 And was brought the head of him on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] to the mother of her.
and his head was brought in a dish, and given to the young princess, who carried it to her mother:
12 And having come the disciples of him took the (body *N(k)O*) and buried (it, *N(k)O*) and having come they told Jesus.
and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.
13 (and *k*) Having heard (now *no*) Jesus withdrew from there by boat to a secluded place apart [on his] own. And having heard [of it] the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns.
And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:
14 And having gone out (Jesus *k*) He saw great a crowd and was moved with compassion toward (them *N(k)O*) and healed the sick of them.
and when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them; and He healed their sick.
15 Evening now having come they came to Him the disciples (of him *k*) saying; Desolate is this place, and the time already is gone by; do dismiss the crowds that having gone into the villages they may buy for themselves food.
Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.
16 And Jesus said to them; No need they have to go away; do give to them you yourselves to eat.
But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 And they say to Him; Not we have here only except five loaves and two fish.
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 And He said; do bring to Me here them.
and He said, bring them hither to me.
19 And having commanded the crowds to sit down on (the grass, *N(k)O*) (and *k*) having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven He spoke a blessing, and having broken He gave to the disciples the loaves, and the disciples to the crowds.
And having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;
20 And ate all and were satisfied; and they took up that which is remaindering of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Those then eating were men about five thousand besides women and children.
Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 And immediately He compelled (Jesus *k*) the disciples (of him *k*) to climb into the boat and to go before Him to the other side until that He may have dismissed the crowds.
And presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:
23 And having dismissed the crowds He went up on the mountain on [his] own to pray. Evening now having arrived alone He was there.
and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 And the boat now (stadia many *NO*) (from *N(K)O*) of the (land was fully *N(K)O*) being tossed by the waves; was for contrary [was] the wind.
And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:
25 In [the] fourth now watch of the night (he came *N(K)O*) to them (Jesus *k*) walking on (the sea. *N(k)O*)
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea:
26 (and *N(k)O*) the disciples having seen Him on (the sea *N(k)O*) walking they were troubled saying that A ghost it is! And in fear they cried out.
and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 Immediately now spoke Jesus to them saying; Take courage! I myself it is, not do fear.
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.
28 Answering now to Him Peter said: Lord, if You yourself [it] is, do command me to come to You upon the waters.
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 And He said; do come. And having descended from the boat Peter walked upon the water (and *no*) (came *N(k)O*) to Jesus.
And He said, Come.
30 Seeing now the wind charging he was afraid, and having begun to sink he cried out saying; Lord, do save me!
And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.
31 Immediately now Jesus having stretched out the hand took hold of him and He says to him; [You] of little faith, of why did you doubt?
And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And (when were climbing *N(k)O*) they into the boat ceased the wind.
So they got into the ship, and the wind ceased.
33 Those then in the boat (having come *ko*) worshiped Him saying; Truly of God Son You are!
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 And having crossed over they came (into *NK(o)*) the land (of *no*) Gennesaret.
And they passed over and came into the country of Gennesaret.
35 And having recognized Him the men of the place that one sent to all surrounding region that and brought to Him all those sick being
And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;
36 and they were begging Him that only they may touch the fringe of the garment of Him; and as many as touched were cured.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
