< Matthew 14 >

1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
ⲁ̅ϩⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛϭⲓϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲡⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲁⲣⲭⲏⲥ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ. ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲓϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ.
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.

5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ⲁϥⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡϩⲟⲩⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲁⲥϭⲟⲥϭⲥ ⲛϭⲓⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ. ⲁⲥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ.
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲉϯ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲓⲁⲧⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲧⲉⲥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓϫⲛⲟⲩⲡⲓⲛⲁⲝ.
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩϣ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϯ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
ⲓ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϥⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲙⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ.
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲡⲓⲛⲁⲝ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ⲁⲥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲙⲁⲁⲩ.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲙⲥϥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲭⲱⲣⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲛϫⲁⲓⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲉⲍⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲙⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁϥϣⲛϩⲧⲏϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲕⲁⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ.
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ. ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲥⲁϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲙⲛⲧⲏⲃⲧ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ.
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ.
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲉⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲙⲛⲡⲧⲏⲃⲧ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁϥϥⲓⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲓ. ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲛⲗⲁⲕⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣⲁϯⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ϩⲓⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁϥϣⲗⲏⲗ. ⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲕϩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛϩⲓⲙⲏ. ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲩ ⲡⲉ.
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲣϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲓϫⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲓϫⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲫⲁⲛⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉ(ⲩ)ⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ. ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ.
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲓϫⲛⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
ⲗ̅ⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲁϥⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛⲱⲙⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ.
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲁⲕⲇⲓⲥⲇⲁⲍⲉ.
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲧⲏⲩ. ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].

35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ.
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
