Matthew 14
1 At that [very] time heard Herod the tetrarch the news of Jesus
At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;
2 and he said to the servants of him; This is John the Baptist; he himself is risen from the dead, and because of this the miraculous powers are working in him.
And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.
3 For Herod having seized John he bound him and in prison (put [him] aside *N+kO) on account of Herodias the wife of Philip the brother of him.
For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 Were saying for John to him; Not it is lawful for you to have her.
Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.
5 Although wishing him to kill he feared the multitude because as a prophet him they were holding.
And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.
6 ([The] birthday *N+kO) now (having happened *N+kO) of Herod danced the daughter of Herodias in the midst and pleased Herod;
But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.
7 whereupon with oath he promised to her to give whatever (if *NK+o) she shall ask.
So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for.
8 And having been urged on by the mother of her; do give to me she says here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.
9 And (being grieved *N+kO) the king on account of (now *k) the oaths and those reclining with [him] he commanded [it] to be given.
And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;
10 And he having sent beheaded John in the prison.
And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.
11 And was brought the head of him on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] to the mother of her.
And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.
12 And having come the disciples of him took the (body *N+kO) and buried (it, *N+kO) and having come they told Jesus.
And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.
13 (and *k) Having heard (now *no) Jesus withdrew from there by boat to a secluded place apart [on his] own. And having heard [of it] the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns.
Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.
14 And having gone out (Jesus *k) He saw great a crowd and was moved with compassion toward (them *N+kO) and healed the sick of them.
And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.
15 Evening now having come they came to Him the disciples (of him *k) saying; Desolate is this place, and the time already is gone by; do dismiss the crowds that having gone into the villages they may buy for themselves food.
And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.
16 And Jesus said to them; No need they have to go away; do give to them you yourselves to eat.
But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.
17 And they say to Him; Not we have here only except five loaves and two fish.
And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes.
18 And He said; do bring to Me here them.
And he said, Give them to me.
19 And having commanded the crowds to sit down on (the grass, *N+kO) (and *k) having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven He spoke a blessing, and having broken He gave to the disciples the loaves, and the disciples to the crowds.
And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.
20 And ate all and were satisfied; and they took up that which is remaindering of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full.
And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.
21 Those then eating were men about five thousand besides women and children.
And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
22 And immediately He compelled (Jesus *k) the disciples (of him *k) to climb into the boat and to go before Him to the other side until that He may have dismissed the crowds.
And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.
23 And having dismissed the crowds He went up on the mountain on [his] own to pray. Evening now having arrived alone He was there.
And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.
24 And the boat now (stadia many *NO) (from *N+KO) of the (land was fully *N+KO) being tossed by the waves; was for contrary [was] the wind.
But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and was troubled by the waves: for the wind was against them.
25 In [the] fourth now watch of the night (he came *N+KO) to them (Jesus *k) walking on (the sea. *N+kO)
And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 (and *N+kO) the disciples having seen Him on (the sea *N+kO) walking they were troubled saying that A ghost it is! And in fear they cried out.
And when they saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they gave cries of fear.
27 Immediately now spoke Jesus to them saying; Take courage! I myself it is, not do fear.
But straight away Jesus said to them, Take heart; it is I, have no fear.
28 Answering now to Him Peter said: Lord, if You yourself [it] is, do command me to come to You upon the waters.
And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water.
29 And He said; do come. And having descended from the boat Peter walked upon the water (and *no) (came *N+kO) to Jesus.
And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.
30 Seeing now the wind charging he was afraid, and having begun to sink he cried out saying; Lord, do save me!
But when he saw the wind he was in fear and, starting to go down, he gave a cry, saying, Help, Lord.
31 Immediately now Jesus having stretched out the hand took hold of him and He says to him; [You] of little faith, of why did you doubt?
And straight away Jesus put out his hand and took a grip of him, and said to him, O man of little faith, why were you in doubt?
32 And (when were climbing *N+kO) they into the boat ceased the wind.
And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down.
33 Those then in the boat (having come *ko) worshiped Him saying; Truly of God Son You are!
And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.
34 And having crossed over they came (into *NK+o) the land (of *no) Gennesaret.
And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret.
35 And having recognized Him the men of the place that one sent to all surrounding region that and brought to Him all those sick being
And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,
36 and they were begging Him that only they may touch the fringe of the garment of Him; and as many as touched were cured.
With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.
