Κατα Ματθαιον 14
1 εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning 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 unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers 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 on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, 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 when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
7 οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
8 η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
9 και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them which sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;
10 και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
and he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το σωμα και εθαψαν αυτο και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; 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
Now when Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard [thereof], they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, 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
And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, 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 unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat.
17 οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
And he said, Bring them hither 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
And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
And they that did eat were about five thousand men, beside women an 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
And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away.
23 και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone.
24 το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον της θαλασσης ην βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
25 τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης
And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon 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 were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.
27 ευθεως δε ελαλησεν αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 αποκριθεις δε αυτω ο πετρος ειπεν κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters.
29 ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν προς τον ιησουν
And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, to come to Jesus.
30 βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
But when he saw the wind, he was 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 stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γεννησαρετ
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret.
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 knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick;
36 και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα καν μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
