Κατα Ματθαιον 14
1 εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of 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 Baptist; he hath risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves 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 had said to 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 was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
8 η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
9 και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the sake of the oath and them who sat eating with him, he commanded it to be given her.
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 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
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and 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
When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard of it, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he 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 it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude 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 to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
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
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
And they that had eaten 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
And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening 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, tossed with 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 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 were troubled, saying, It is 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, 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 is thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
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 when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, 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 caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
32 και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God.
34 και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γεννησαρετ
And when they had gone over, they came into the land of 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 had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased;
36 και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα καν μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly well.
