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.

The Death of John the Baptist
14 (A)At that time (B)Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and he said to his servants, (C)“This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 3 For (D)Herod had seized John and bound him and (E)put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,[a] 4 because John had been saying to him, (F)“It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And though he wanted to put him to death, (G)he feared the people, because they held him to be (H)a prophet. 6 But when Herod's (I)birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. 10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And (J)his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
13 Now when Jesus heard this, (K)he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore he (L)saw a great crowd, and (M)he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; (N)send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; (O)you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, (P)he looked up to heaven and (Q)said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 (R)Immediately he (S)made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, (T)he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When (U)evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way[b] from the land,[c] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And (V)in the fourth watch of the night[d] he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, (W)they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, (X)“Take heart; it is I. (Y)Do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and (Z)walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,[e] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, (AA)“Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, (AB)“O you of little faith, why did you (AC)doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, (AD)the wind ceased. 33 And (AE)those in the boat (AF)worshiped him, saying, (AG)“Truly you are (AH)the Son of God.”
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
34 (AI)And when they had crossed over, they came to land at (AJ)Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and (AK)brought to him all who were sick 36 and implored him that they might only touch (AL)the fringe of his garment. And (AM)as many as touched it were made well.

Ioan Botezătorul decapitat
14 În vremea aceea tetrarhul Irod[a] a auzit veşti despre Isus 2 şi le-a zis slujitorilor săi: „Acesta este Ioan Botezătorul! A înviat dintre cei morţi şi de aceea lucrează aceste puteri prin el!“
3 Căci Irod îl arestase pe Ioan, îl legase şi-l pusese în închisoare din cauza Irodiadei[b], soţia lui Filip, fratele său, 4 deoarece Ioan îi zicea: „Nu-ţi este permis s-o ai de soţie!“[c] 5 Irod ar fi vrut să-l omoare, dar se temea de mulţime, pentru că oamenii îl considerau pe Ioan un profet. 6 Însă, la aniversarea zilei de naştere a lui Irod, fiica Irodiadei a dansat înaintea invitaţilor şi i-a plăcut lui Irod, 7 aşa că el i-a promis cu jurământ că-i va da orice va cere. 8 Îndemnată de mama ei, ea i-a zis: „Dă-mi aici, pe o farfurie, capul lui Ioan Botezătorul!“ 9 Regele s-a întristat, dar, din pricina jurămintelor şi a invitaţilor săi, a poruncit să-i fie dat ce a cerut 10 şi a trimis să fie decapitat Ioan în închisoare. 11 Capul lui a fost adus pe o farfurie şi dat fetei, iar aceasta i l-a dus mamei sale. 12 Ucenicii lui Ioan au venit, i-au luat trupul şi l-au înmormântat. Apoi s-au dus şi L-au anunţat pe Isus.
Isus hrăneşte peste cinci mii de oameni
13 Când a auzit aceasta, Isus S-a retras de acolo într-o barcă, spre un loc pustiu, ca să fie doar El singur. Dar când mulţimile au aflat lucrul acesta, au ieşit din cetăţile lor şi s-au luat după El pe jos. 14 Când a coborât din barcă, Isus a văzut o mare mulţime de oameni, I s-a făcut milă de ei şi i-a vindecat pe cei bolnavi.
15 Fiindcă se făcuse seară, ucenicii au venit la El şi I-au zis:
– Locul acesta este pustiu şi ora este deja târzie. Dă-le drumul mulţimilor să meargă prin sate ca să-şi cumpere ceva să mănânce!
16 Însă Isus le-a zis:
– Nu au nevoie să plece! Daţi-le voi să mănânce!
17 Ei I-au răspuns:
– N-avem aici decât cinci pâini şi doi peşti.
18 El le-a zis:
– Aduceţi-le aici, la Mine!
19 Le-a poruncit mulţimilor să se aşeze pe iarbă, a luat cele cinci pâini şi cei doi peşti, a privit spre cer, a binecuvântat, a frânt pâinile şi apoi le-a dat ucenicilor, iar ucenicii le-au dat mulţimilor. 20 Au mâncat toţi şi s-au săturat; şi au strâns douăsprezece coşniţe pline cu firimiturile rămase. 21 Cei ce mâncaseră erau aproape cinci mii de bărbaţi, în afară de femei şi de copii.
Isus umblă pe mare
22 Imediat după aceea, Isus i-a zorit pe ucenici să se suie în barcă şi să treacă înaintea Lui de partea cealaltă a mării, iar între timp El le va da drumul mulţimilor. 23 După ce le-a dat drumul mulţimilor, Isus S-a urcat pe munte, doar El singur, ca să se roage. Se înserase, iar El era singur acolo. 24 Barca se îndepărtase deja la mai multe stadii[d] de ţărm şi era lovită de valuri, pentru că vântul le era împotrivă.
25 În a patra strajă a nopţii[e], Isus a venit spre ei, umblând pe mare. 26 Când ucenicii L-au văzut umblând pe mare, s-au înspăimântat. „Este o stafie!“, au zis ei. Şi au ţipat de frică.
27 Dar Isus le-a vorbit imediat şi le-a zis:
– Îndrăzniţi! Eu sunt! Nu vă temeţi!
28 Petru I-a răspuns:
– Doamne, dacă eşti Tu, porunceşte-mi să vin la Tine pe ape!
29 Isus i-a zis:
– Vino!
Petru a coborât din barcă şi a început să umble pe ape şi să meargă spre Isus. 30 Dar când a văzut că vântul este puternic, i s-a făcut frică şi, fiindcă începea să se scufunde, a strigat:
– Doamne, salvează-mă!
31 Isus a întins imediat mâna, l-a apucat şi i-a zis:
– Puţin credinciosule! De ce te-ai îndoit?
32 După ce s-au suit în barcă, vântul a încetat. 33 Cei din barcă I s-au închinat şi au zis: „Cu adevărat, Tu eşti Fiul lui Dumnezeu!“
34 Au traversat marea şi au venit în ţinutul Ghenezaretului. 35 Oamenii din locul acela L-au recunoscut pe Isus şi au dat de veste în întreaga vecinătate, aşa că i-au adus la El pe toţi cei ce erau bolnavi. 36 Îl rugau să-i lase doar să se atingă de marginea hainei Lui; şi toţi cei care s-au atins de ea au fost vindecaţi.

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)
14 At that time Herod(B) the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,(C) 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist;(D) he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison(E) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(F) 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”(G) 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.(H)
6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded(I) in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.(J) Then they went and told Jesus.
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(K)(L)
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them(M) and healed their sick.(N)
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves(O) of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(P) Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water(Q)(R)
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.(S) Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,”(T) they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!(U) It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(V)
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”(W) he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”(X)
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak,(Y) and all who touched it were healed.
