Matthew 14
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard what Jesus was doing
εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετραρχης την ακοην ιησου
2 and he told his servants, “He must be John the Baptist resurrected from the dead, and that's why he has such powers!”
και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω
3 Herod had detained John, and had him put in chains and imprisoned on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother.
ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν αυτον και εθετο εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου
4 For John had told him, “It's not legal for you to marry her.”
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
5 Herod wanted to kill John but he was afraid of the people's reaction for they considered John a prophet.
και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβειτο τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
6 However, on Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the party, and Herod was delighted with her.
γενεσιων δε αγομενων του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη
7 So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she wanted.
οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.”
η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
9 Then the king regretted the promise he had made, but because of the oaths he'd made in front of his dinner guests, he gave the order to do it.
και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
10 The order was passed on and John was beheaded in prison.
και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
11 John's head was brought on a plate and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.
και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
12 John's disciples came and took the body, and buried him. Then they went and told Jesus.
και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το σωμα και εθαψαν αυτο και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
13 When Jesus heard the news he went away by boat to a quiet place to be alone, but when the crowds learned where he was, they followed him on foot from the towns.
και ακουσας ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εν πλοιω εις ερημον τοπον κατ ιδιαν και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι ηκολουθησαν αυτω πεζη απο των πολεων
14 When Jesus got out of the boat and saw the huge crowds, he was full of sympathy for them, and healed their sick.
και εξελθων ο ιησους ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
15 As evening came the disciples went up to him and said, “This place is miles from anywhere and it's getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.”
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
16 But Jesus told them, “They don't need to leave. You give them something to eat!”
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν απελθειν δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν
17 “All we have here are five loaves and a couple of fish,” they replied.
οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
18 “Bring them to me,” said Jesus.
ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι αυτους ωδε
19 He told the crowds to sit down on the grass. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven and blessed them. After that he broke the loaves into pieces and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the crowds.
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
20 Everybody ate until they were full. Then they collected up the leftovers which filled twelve baskets.
και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
21 Some five thousand men ate the food, not counting women and children.
οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
22 Right after this he made the disciples get into the boat and go back to the other side of the lake while he sent the crowds on their way.
και ευθεως ηναγκασεν ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
23 After he'd sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountains to pray. Evening came and he was there all alone.
και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
24 By now the boat was a long way out from land, being pounded by the waves because the wind was blowing against it.
το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον της θαλασσης ην βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
25 About 3 a.m. Jesus caught up with them, walking on the sea.
τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. They screamed out in fear, “It's a ghost!”
και ιδοντες αυτον οι μαθηται επι την θαλασσαν περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν
27 But immediately Jesus said to them, “Don't worry, it's me! Don't be afraid!”
ευθεως δε ελαλησεν αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
28 “Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come over to you, walking on the water,” Peter replied.
αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
29 “Come on then,” said Jesus. Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water towards Jesus.
ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν προς τον ιησουν
30 But when he saw how strong the wind was, he became scared, and started to sink. “Lord! Save me!” he cried out.
βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
31 Immediately Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him, and said, “You have such little trust in me. Why did you doubt?”
και ευθεως ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
32 When they got into the boat, the wind died down,
και εμβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
33 and those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “You really are the Son of God!”
οι δε εν τω πλοιω ελθοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
34 After crossing the lake they arrived at Gennesaret.
και διαπερασαντες ηλθον εις την γην γενησαρετ
35 When the people there realized Jesus was there, they let everyone in the whole area know. They brought all who were sick to him,
και επιγνοντες αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου εκεινου απεστειλαν εις ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας
36 and pleaded with him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak. Everyone that touched him was healed.
και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα καν μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
