< Matthew 14 >

1 About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
2 and he said to his courtiers, "This is John the Baptist: he has come back to life--and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."
και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω
3 For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,
ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν αυτον και εθετο εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου
4 because John had persistently said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
5 And he would have liked to put him to death, but was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a Prophet.
και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before all the company, and so pleased Herod
γενεσιων δε αγομενων του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη
7 that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked.
οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
8 So she, instigated by her mother, said, "Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist."
η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
9 The king was deeply vexed, yet because of his repeated oath and of the guests at his table he ordered it to be given her,
και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
11 The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother.
και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
12 Then John's disciples went and removed the body and buried it, and came and informed Jesus.
και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το σωμα και εθαψαν αυτο και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
13 Upon receiving these tidings, Jesus went away by boat to an uninhabited and secluded district; but the people heard of it and followed Him in crowds from the towns by land.
και ακουσας ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εν πλοιω εις ερημον τοπον κατ ιδιαν και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι ηκολουθησαν αυτω πεζη απο των πολεων
14 So Jesus went out and saw an immense multitude, and felt compassion for them, and cured those of them who were out of health.
και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτους και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
15 But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said, "This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy something to eat."
οψιας δε γενομενης προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ερημος εστιν ο τοπος και η ωρα ηδη παρηλθεν απολυσον τους οχλους ινα απελθοντες εις τας κωμας αγορασωσιν εαυτοις βρωματα
16 "They need not go away," replied Jesus; "you yourselves must give them something to eat."
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν απελθειν δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν
17 "We have nothing here," they said, "but five loaves and a couple of fish."
οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
18 "Bring them here to me," He said,
ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
19 and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.
και κελευσας τους οχλους ανακλιθηναι επι τους χορτους και λαβων τους πεντε αρτους και τους δυο ιχθυας αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον ευλογησεν και κλασας εδωκεν τοις μαθηταις τους αρτους οι δε μαθηται τοις οχλοις
20 So all ate, and were fully satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they gathered up, filling twelve baskets.
και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
21 Those who had eaten were about 5,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
22 Immediately afterwards He made the disciples go on board the boat and cross to the opposite shore, leaving Him to dismiss the people.
και ευθεως ηναγκασεν ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
23 When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.
και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
24 Meanwhile the boat was far out on the Lake, buffeted and tossed by the waves, the wind being adverse.
το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον της θαλασσης ην βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
25 But towards daybreak He went to them, walking over the waves.
τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης
26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were greatly alarmed. "It is a spirit," they exclaimed, and they cried out with terror.
και ιδοντες αυτον οι μαθηται επι την θαλασσαν περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν
27 But instantly Jesus spoke to them, and said, "There is no danger; it is I; do not be afraid."
ευθεως δε ελαλησεν αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
28 "Master," answered Peter, "if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water."
αποκριθεις δε αυτω ο πετρος ειπεν κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
29 "Come," said Jesus. Then Peter climbed down from the boat and walked upon the water to go to Him.
ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν προς τον ιησουν
30 But when he felt the wind he grew frightened, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Master, save me."
βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
31 Instantly Jesus stretched out His hand and caught hold of him, saying to him, "O little faith, why did you doubt?"
ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
32 So they climbed into the boat, and the wind lulled;
και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
33 and the men on board fell down before him and said, "You are indeed God's Son."
οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
34 When they had quite crossed over, they put ashore at Gennesaret;
και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γεννησαρετ
35 and the men of the place, recognizing Him, sent word into all the country round. So they brought all the sick to Him,
και επιγνοντες αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου εκεινου απεστειλαν εις ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας
36 and they entreated Him that they might but touch the tassel of His outer garment; and all who did so were restored to perfect health.
και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
