Matthew 14
|
| At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king; | At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, |
| 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. | and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him. |
| For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. | 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. |
| Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her. | For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. |
| And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet. | And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. |
| But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her. | But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. |
| So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for. | Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. |
| And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist. | And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. |
| 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; | And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; |
| And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison. | and he sent and beheaded John in the prison. |
| And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother. | And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. |
| 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. | And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus. |
| 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. | Now when Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard [thereof,] they followed him on foot from the cities. |
| 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. | And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. |
| 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. | And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. |
| But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves. | But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. |
| And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes. | And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. |
| And he said, Give them to me. | And he said, Bring them hither to me. |
| 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. | And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. |
| And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used. | And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. |
| And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children. | And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children. |
| 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. | And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. |
| 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. | And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. |
| But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and was troubled by the waves: for the wind was against them. | But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. |
| And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. | And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. |
| And when they saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they gave cries of fear. | And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. |
| But straight away Jesus said to them, Take heart; it is I, have no fear. | But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. |
| And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water. | And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto the upon the waters. |
| And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus. | And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. |
| But when he saw the wind he was in fear and, starting to go down, he gave a cry, saying, Help, Lord. | But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. |
| 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? | And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? |
| And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down. | And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. |
| And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God. | And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. |
| And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret. | And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. |
| 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, | And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick, |
| 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. | and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole. |
