Matteo 14
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Erode e Gesù
14 In quel tempo il tetrarca Erode ebbe notizia della fama di Gesù. 2 Egli disse ai suoi cortigiani: «Costui è Giovanni il Battista risuscitato dai morti; per ciò la potenza dei miracoli opera in lui».
Esecuzione di Giovanni Battista
3 Erode aveva arrestato Giovanni e lo aveva fatto incatenare e gettare in prigione per causa di Erodìade, moglie di Filippo suo fratello. 4 Giovanni infatti gli diceva: «Non ti è lecito tenerla!». 5 Benché Erode volesse farlo morire, temeva il popolo perché lo considerava un profeta.
6 Venuto il compleanno di Erode, la figlia di Erodìade danzò in pubblico e piacque tanto a Erode 7 che egli le promise con giuramento di darle tutto quello che avesse domandato. 8 Ed essa, istigata dalla madre, disse: «Dammi qui, su un vassoio, la testa di Giovanni il Battista». 9 Il re ne fu contristato, ma a causa del giuramento e dei commensali ordinò che le fosse data 10 e mandò a decapitare Giovanni nel carcere. 11 La sua testa venne portata su un vassoio e fu data alla fanciulla, ed ella la portò a sua madre. 12 I suoi discepoli andarono a prendere il cadavere, lo seppellirono e andarono a informarne Gesù.
Prima moltiplicazione dei pani
13 Udito ciò, Gesù partì di là su una barca e si ritirò in disparte in un luogo deserto. Ma la folla, saputolo, lo seguì a piedi dalle città. 14 Egli, sceso dalla barca, vide una grande folla e sentì compassione per loro e guarì i loro malati.
15 Sul far della sera, gli si accostarono i discepoli e gli dissero: «Il luogo è deserto ed è ormai tardi; congeda la folla perché vada nei villaggi a comprarsi da mangiare». 16 Ma Gesù rispose: «Non occorre che vadano; date loro voi stessi da mangiare». 17 Gli risposero: «Non abbiamo che cinque pani e due pesci!». 18 Ed egli disse: «Portatemeli qua». 19 E dopo aver ordinato alla folla di sedersi sull'erba, prese i cinque pani e i due pesci e, alzati gli occhi al cielo, pronunziò la benedizione, spezzò i pani e li diede ai discepoli e i discepoli li distribuirono alla folla. 20 Tutti mangiarono e furono saziati; e portarono via dodici ceste piene di pezzi avanzati. 21 Quelli che avevano mangiato erano circa cinquemila uomini, senza contare le donne e i bambini.
Gesù cammina sulle acque e Pietro con lui
22 Subito dopo ordinò ai discepoli di salire sulla barca e di precederlo sull'altra sponda, mentre egli avrebbe congedato la folla. 23 Congedata la folla, salì sul monte, solo, a pregare. Venuta la sera, egli se ne stava ancora solo lassù.
24 La barca intanto distava gia qualche miglio da terra ed era agitata dalle onde, a causa del vento contrario. 25 Verso la fine della notte egli venne verso di loro camminando sul mare. 26 I discepoli, a vederlo camminare sul mare, furono turbati e dissero: «E' un fantasma» e si misero a gridare dalla paura. 27 Ma subito Gesù parlò loro: «Coraggio, sono io, non abbiate paura». 28 Pietro gli disse: «Signore, se sei tu, comanda che io venga da te sulle acque». 29 Ed egli disse: «Vieni!». Pietro, scendendo dalla barca, si mise a camminare sulle acque e andò verso Gesù. 30 Ma per la violenza del vento, s'impaurì e, cominciando ad affondare, gridò: «Signore, salvami!». 31 E subito Gesù stese la mano, lo afferrò e gli disse: «Uomo di poca fede, perché hai dubitato?».
32 Appena saliti sulla barca, il vento cessò. 33 Quelli che erano sulla barca gli si prostrarono davanti, esclamando: «Tu sei veramente il Figlio di Dio!».
Guarigioni nel paese di Genèsaret
34 Compiuta la traversata, approdarono a Genèsaret. 35 E la gente del luogo, riconosciuto Gesù, diffuse la notizia in tutta la regione; gli portarono tutti i malati, 36 e lo pregavano di poter toccare almeno l'orlo del suo mantello. E quanti lo toccavano guarivano.

1881 Westcott-Hort New Testament
14 εν εκεινω τω καιρω ηκουσεν ηρωδης ο τετρααρχης την ακοην ιησου
2 και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω
3 ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν και εν φυλακη απεθετο δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου
4 ελεγεν γαρ ο ιωαννης αυτω ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην
5 και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον
6 γενεσιοις δε γενομενοις του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη
7 οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται
8 η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου
9 και λυπηθεις ο βασιλευς δια τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι
10 και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
11 και ηνεχθη η κεφαλη αυτου επι πινακι και εδοθη τω κορασιω και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι αυτης
12 και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηραν το πτωμα και εθαψαν αυτον και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν τω ιησου
13 ακουσας δε ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εν πλοιω εις ερημον τοπον κατ ιδιαν και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι ηκολουθησαν αυτω πεζη απο των πολεων
14 και εξελθων ειδεν πολυν οχλον και εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτοις και εθεραπευσεν τους αρρωστους αυτων
15 οψιας δε γενομενης προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται λεγοντες ερημος εστιν ο τοπος και η ωρα ηδη παρηλθεν απολυσον τους οχλους ινα απελθοντες εις τας κωμας αγορασωσιν εαυτοις βρωματα
16 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν απελθειν δοτε αυτοις υμεις φαγειν
17 οι δε λεγουσιν αυτω ουκ εχομεν ωδε ει μη πεντε αρτους και δυο ιχθυας
18 ο δε ειπεν φερετε μοι ωδε αυτους
19 και κελευσας τους οχλους ανακλιθηναι επι του χορτου 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 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις
21 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
22 και [ευθεως] ηναγκασεν τους μαθητας εμβηναι εις πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
23 και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
24 το δε πλοιον ηδη σταδιους πολλους απο της γης απειχεν βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος
25 τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος ηλθεν προς αυτους περιπατων επι την θαλασσαν
26 οι δε μαθηται ιδοντες αυτον επι της θαλασσης περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν
27 ευθυς δε ελαλησεν [ο ιησους] αυτοις λεγων θαρσειτε εγω ειμι μη φοβεισθε
28 αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με ελθειν προς σε επι τα υδατα
29 ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα και ηλθεν προς τον ιησουν
30 βλεπων δε τον ανεμον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
31 ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
32 και αναβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος
33 οι δε εν τω πλοιω προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει
34 και διαπερασαντες ηλθον επι την γην εις γεννησαρετ
35 και επιγνοντες αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου εκεινου απεστειλαν εις ολην την περιχωρον εκεινην και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας
36 και παρεκαλουν [αυτον] ινα μονον αψωνται του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και οσοι ηψαντο διεσωθησαν
Matthew 14
King James Version
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and 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 multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
