マタイの福音書 14

殺されたヨハネ
14 そのころ、イエスのうわさを聞いたヘロデ王（ヘロデ・アンテパス）は、回りの者に言いました。 2 「あれはバプテスマのヨハネだ。ヨハネが生き返ったに違いない。そうでなければ、あんな奇跡ができるわけがない。」 3 実はこのヘロデは以前、兄のピリポの妻であったヘロデヤのことが原因でヨハネを捕らえ、牢獄につないだ張本人でした。 4 それは、ヨハネが、兄嫁を奪い取るのはよくないとヘロデを責めたからです。 5 その時ヘロデは、ヨハネを殺そうとも考えましたが、それでは暴動が起きる恐れがあったので思いとどまりました。人々がヨハネを預言者だと認めていたからです。
6 ところが、ヘロデの誕生祝いが開かれた席で、ヘロデヤの娘がみごとな舞を披露し、ヘロデをたいそう喜ばせました。 7 それで王は娘に、「ほしいものを何でも言うがよい。必ず与えよう」と誓いました。 8 ところがヘロデヤに入れ知恵された娘は、なんと、バプテスマのヨハネの首を盆に載せていただきたいと願い出たのです。
9 王は後悔しましたが、自分が誓ったことでもあり、また並み居る客の手前もあって、引っ込みがつきません。しかたなく、それを彼女に与えるように命令しました。
10 こうしてヨハネは、獄中で首を切られ、 11 その首は盆に載せられ、約束どおり娘に与えられました。娘はそれを母親のところに持って行きました。
12 ヨハネの弟子たちは死体を引き取って埋葬し、この出来事をイエスに知らせました。
13 この知らせを聞くと、イエスは舟をこぎ出し、ご自分だけで人里離れた所へ行こうとなさいました。ところが、大ぜいの群衆がそれと気づき、町々村々から、岸づたいにイエスのあとを追って行きました。
五つのパンと二匹の魚
14 舟から上がったイエスは群衆をごらんになり、あわれに思って、彼らの病気を治されました。
15 夕方になったので、弟子たちはイエスのところに来て、「先生。もうとっくに夕食の時間も過ぎています。こんな寂しい所では食べ物もないですし、みんなを解散させてはどうでしょう。村へ行けば、めいめいで食べる物を買えますから」と勧めました。
16 しかし、イエスはお答えになりました。「それにはおよびません。あなたがたで、みんなに食べる物をあげなさい。」
17 弟子たちはイエスに言いました。「先生、今手もとには、小さなパンが五つと、魚が二匹あるだけです。」
18 ところがイエスは、「そのパンと魚とを持って来なさい」と言われました。
19 それから群衆を草の上に座らせると、五つのパンと二匹の魚を取り、天を見上げて神の祝福を祈り求め、パンをちぎって、弟子たちに配らせました。 20 こうしてみんなが食べ、満腹したのです。あとで余ったパン切れを拾い集めると、なんと十二のかごにいっぱいになりました。 21 そこには、女性や子どもを除いて、男だけでも五千人ぐらいの人がいました。 22 このあとすぐ、イエスは弟子たちを舟に乗り込ませて向こう岸に向かわせ、また、群衆を解散させられました。
23 みんなを帰したあと、ただお一人になったイエスは、祈るために丘に登って行かれました。 24 一方、湖上は夕闇に包まれ、弟子たちは強い向かい風と大波に悩まされていました。
25 朝の四時ごろ、イエスが水の上を歩いて弟子たちのところに行かれると、 26 弟子たちは悲鳴をあげました。てっきり幽霊だと思ったのです。
27 しかし、すぐにイエスが、「わたしです。こわがらなくてよいのです」と声をおかけになったので、彼らはほっと胸をなでおろしました。
28 その時、ペテロが叫びました。「先生。もしほんとうにあなただったら、私に、水の上を歩いてここまで来いとおっしゃってください。」
29 「いいでしょう。来なさい。」言われるままに、ペテロは舟べりをまたいで、水の上を歩き始めました。 30 ところが高波を見てこわくなり、沈みかけたので、大声で、「主よ。助けてください」と叫びました。
31 イエスはすぐに手を差し出してペテロを助け、「ああ、信仰の薄い人よ。なぜわたしを疑うのです」と言われました。 32 二人が舟に乗り込むと、すぐに風はやみました。
33 舟の中にいた者たちはみな、「あなたはほんとうに神の子です」と告白しました。
34 やがて、舟はゲネサレに着きました。 35 イエスが来られたという知らせはたちまち町中に広まり、人々がどっと押しかけました。互いに誘い合い、病人という病人をみな連れて来て、 36 イエスに頼みました。「せめてお着物のすそにでもさわらせてやってください。」そして、さわった人たちはみな治りました。
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.
Matthew 14
New King James Version
John the Baptist Beheaded(A)
14 At that time (B)Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” 3 (C)For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 Because John had said to him, (D)“It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, (E)because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. 7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her. 10 So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Feeding the Five Thousand(F)
13 (G)When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He (H)was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 (I)When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, (J)He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Sea(K)
22 Immediately Jesus [a]made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 (L)And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. (M)Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now [b]in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him (N)walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [c]“Be of good (O)cheer! [d]It is I; do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw [e]that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of (P)little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat [f]came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly (Q)You are the Son of God.”
Many Touch Him and Are Made Well(R)
34 (S)When they had crossed over, they came [g]to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only (T)touch the hem of His garment. And (U)as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
