Κατα Ματθαιον 14
1 Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ
At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
2 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.
And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
3 ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν (τῇ *o*) φυλακῇ (ἀπέθετο *N(k)O*) διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.
4 ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν.
For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.
And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
6 (Γενεσίοις *N(k)O*) δὲ (γενομένοις *N(k)O*) τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ·
But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
7 ὅθεν μεθ᾽ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ (ἐὰν *NK(o)*) αἰτήσηται.
Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
8 ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς· δός μοι φησὶν ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.
But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
9 καὶ (λυπηθεὶς *N(k)O*) ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ (δὲ *k*) τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι.
And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
10 καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισεν τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12 Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ (πτῶμα *N(k)O*) καὶ ἔθαψαν (αὐτόν, *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
13 (Καὶ *k*) Ἀκούσας (δὲ *no*) ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατ᾽ ἰδίαν. καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.
Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 καὶ ἐξελθὼν (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *k*) εἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ᾽ (αὐτοῖς *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ (αὐτοῦ *k*) λέγοντες· ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος, καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.
16 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.
But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
17 οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.
They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· φέρετέ μοι ὧδε αὐτούς.
He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
19 καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ (τοῦ χόρτου, *N(k)O*) (καὶ *k*) λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν, καὶ κλάσας ἔδωκεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς τοὺς ἄρτους, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν· καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων, δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
21 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Καὶ εὐθέως ἠνάγκασεν (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *k*) τοὺς μαθητὰς (αὐτοῦ *k*) ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
23 Καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ᾽ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.
And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
24 τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη (σταδίους πολλοὺς *NO*) (ἀπὸ *N(K)O*) τῆς (γῆς ἀπεῖχεν *N(K)O*) βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων· ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος.
But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς (ἦλθεν *N(K)O*) πρὸς αὐτοὺς (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *k*) περιπατῶν ἐπὶ (τὴν θάλασσαν. *N(k)O*)
And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
26 Οἱ (δὲ *N(k)O*) μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ (τῆς θαλάσσης *N(k)O*) περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες ὅτι φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.
And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
27 εὐθὺς δὲ ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς αὐτοῖς λέγων· θαρσεῖτε· ἐγώ εἰμι, μὴ φοβεῖσθε.
And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
28 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν· κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ἐλθεῖν πρός σε ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα.
And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου ὁ Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα (καὶ *no*) (ἦλθεν *N(k)O*) πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
30 βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ἰσχυρὸν ἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν λέγων· κύριε, σῶσόν με.
But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
31 Εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;
And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
32 καὶ (ἀναβάντων *N(k)O*) αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.
And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ (ἐλθόντες *ko*) προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.
And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
34 καὶ διαπεράσαντες ἦλθον (εἰς *NK(o)*) τὴν γῆν (εἰς *no*) Γεννησαρέτ.
And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.
35 καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.
36 καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
