Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, “This man is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work 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 had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
for Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
4 For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for yoʋ 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 Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests and pleased Herod.
But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
that he promised her with an oath to give her whatever she would ask:
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me 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 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, 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 sent orders to have John beheaded in prison.
and he sent and beheaded John in the prison,
11 John's head was then brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
and his head was brought in a dish, and given to the young princess, who carried it to her mother:
12 Later, John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and brought word to Jesus.
and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But the crowds heard about it and 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 when Jesus went ashore and saw a large crowd, he was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick.
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 As evening approached, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is desolate, and the hour is now late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy themselves some 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 But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away; you give them something to eat.”
But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 They said to him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 He said, “Bring them here to me.”
and He said, bring them hither to me.
19 Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said the blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them 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 They all ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, while he sent the crowds away.
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 After sending the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 Meanwhile, the boat was already in the middle of the sea, being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
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 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea:
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.
and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 But Jesus immediately said to them, “Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.”
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.
28 In response Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is yoʋ, command me to come to yoʋ on the water.”
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 So he said, “Come.” Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.
And He said, Come.
30 But when he saw the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, 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 Jesus reached out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “O yoʋ of little faith, why did yoʋ 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 they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased.
So they got into the ship, and the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “Truly yoʋ are the Son of God.”
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 When they had crossed the sea, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
And they passed over and came into the country of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word into the entire surrounding region, and people brought to him all who were sick.
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 They begged him to let the sick touch even the fringe of his garment, and all who touched it were completely healed.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
