Κατα Ματθαιον 14
1 εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
2 και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω
and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer; he has been raised from the dead, and therefore the powers are at work in him.”
3 ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν αυτον και εθετο εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου
For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
For John would say to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
And although he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 γενεσιων δε αγομενων του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη
But while Herod's birthday was being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and she pleased Herod.
7 οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
So she, having been prompted by her mother, she says, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer!”
9 και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and those who were reclining at the table with him, he commanded it to be given.
10 και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.
11 και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το σωμα και εθαψαν αυτο και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
Then his disciples came forward and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus.
13 ακουσας δε ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εν πλοιω εις ερημον τοπον κατ ιδιαν και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι ηκολουθησαν αυτω πεζη απο των πολεων
Upon hearing it, Jesus departed from there by boat to a deserted place privately. But when the crowds heard it, they followed Him on foot from the towns.
14 και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
So when Jesus disembarked He saw a large crowd, and He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 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
Now with evening coming on His disciples approached Him saying: “The place is uninhabited and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν απελθειν δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν
But Jesus said to them: “They do not need to go away. You give them to eat.”
17 οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
But they say to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.”
18 ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
So He said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 και κελευσας τους οχλους ανακλιθηναι επι τους χορτους 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
Then He commanded the crowds to recline on the grass. And taking the five loaves and two fish and looking up to heaven, He blessed; and breaking the loaves He gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.
20 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
So they all ate and were filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full.
21 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 και ευθεως ηναγκασεν ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
23 και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
And having dismissed the crowds He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. So when night came He was alone there.
24 το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον της θαλασσης ην βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
But the boat was already in the middle of the sea, being harassed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης
So in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 και ιδοντες αυτον οι μαθηται επι την θαλασσαν περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν
And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they became agitated saying, “It's a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 ευθεως δε ελαλησεν αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying: “Courage! It is I; don't be afraid!”
28 αποκριθεις δε αυτω ο πετρος ειπεν κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
So in answer Peter said, “Lord, since it's you, command me to come to you on the water.”
29 ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν προς τον ιησουν
So He said to him, “Come!” And stepping down from the boat Peter walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
But seeing the strong wind he became afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
And immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him and says to him: “You little-faith! Why did you doubt?”
32 και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
And when they got into the boat the wind ceased.
33 οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him saying, “Truly you are the Son of God!”
34 και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γεννησαρετ
When they had crossed over they came to the land of Genesaret.
35 και επιγνοντες αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου εκεινου απεστειλαν εις ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας
And when the men of that place recognized Him they sent messengers into all that surrounding region and they brought to Him all who were sick.
36 και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα καν μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
And they would beg Him that if only they might at least touch the hem of His garment; and as many as touched were completely healed.
