Κατα Ματθαιον 14
1 Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν ˚Ἰησοῦ,
At that 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 said to his servants, This is John the baptist, he is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by him:
3 Ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην, ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο, διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
for Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
4 Ἔλεγεν γὰρ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης, “Οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν.”
for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,
5 Καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed him as a prophet.
6 Γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου, ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρῳδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ,
But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 ὅθεν μεθʼ ὅρκου, ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται.
that he promised her with an oath to give her whatever she would ask:
8 Ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς, “Δός μοι”, φησίν, “ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι, τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ.”
and she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of John the baptist:
9 Καὶ ἐλυπήθη ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ δὲ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους, ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι.
at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given her;
10 Καὶ πέμψας, ἀπεκεφάλισεν 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 given to the young princess, who carried it to her mother:
12 Καὶ προσελθόντες, οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλθόντες, ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.
13 Ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατʼ ἰδίαν. Καὶ ἀκούσαντες, οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.
And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:
14 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν, εἶδεν πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
and when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them; and He healed their sick.
15 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες, “Ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας, ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα.”
Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and 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 away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 Οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε, εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.”
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Φέρετέ μοι ὧδε αὐτούς.”
and He said, bring them hither to me.
19 Καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ τοῦ χόρτου, καὶ 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 having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;
20 Καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων, δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι, χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Καὶ εὐθέως ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
And presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:
23 Καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους, ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατʼ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ.
and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 Τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη μέσον τῆς θαλάσσης ἦν, βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος.
And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:
25 Τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς, ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν.
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea:
26 Οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες, αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα, ἐταράχθησαν λέγοντες, ὅτι “Φάντασμά ἐστιν”, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν.
and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 Εὐθὺς δὲ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Θαρσεῖτε, ἐγώ εἰμι, μὴ φοβεῖσθε.”
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.
28 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ αὐτῷ, ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα.”
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ἐλθέ.” Καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου, Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν.
And He said, Come.
30 Βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ἰσχυρὸν, ἐφοβήθη καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι, ἔκραξεν λέγων, “˚Κύριε, σῶσόν με.”
And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.
31 Εὐθέως δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας;”
And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Καὶ ἀναβάντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος.
So they got into the ship, and the wind ceased.
33 Οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες, “Ἀληθῶς ˚Θεοῦ Υἱὸς εἶ!”
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 Καὶ διαπεράσαντες, ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν εἰς Γεννησαρέτ.
And they passed over and came into the country of Gennesaret.
35 Καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν, οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,
And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;
36 καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
