De dood van Johannes de Doper
14 In die tijd hoorde koning Herodes[a] wat er over Jezus werd verteld. 2 Hij zei tegen zijn dienaren: "Dat is Johannes de Doper! Johannes is uit de dood opgestaan en weer levend geworden! Daarom kan Hij die wonderen doen." 3 Want Herodes had Johannes gevangen genomen, laten boeien en in de kerker gezet. Dat had hij gedaan omdat Johannes hem had gewaarschuwd toen hij met Herodias, de vrouw van zijn broer Filippus, was getrouwd. 4 Want Johannes had tegen hem gezegd: "U mag niet met haar trouwen." 5 Herodes wilde hem eigenlijk laten doden, maar hij durfde niet. Want hij was bang voor een opstand, omdat het volk geloofde dat Johannes een profeet was.
6 Maar op de verjaardag van Herodes danste de dochter van Herodias voor de gasten. Herodes vond het prachtig. 7 Hij zwoer haar dat hij haar zou geven wat ze maar wilde. 8 Haar moeder had haar van tevoren al opgestookt om te zeggen: "Geef mij hier op een schotel het hoofd van Johannes de Doper." 9 De koning werd erg bedroefd, maar toch wilde hij geen nee zeggen. Want hij had het gezworen en hij wilde niet afgaan voor zijn gasten. Daarom gaf hij bevel haar het hoofd te geven. 10 Hij liet Johannes in de gevangenis onthoofden. 11 Zijn hoofd werd op een schotel naar het meisje gebracht. Zij bracht het naar haar moeder. 12 En zijn leerlingen kwamen zijn lichaam halen en begroeven hem. Daarna gingen ze het aan Jezus vertellen.
Het wonder van de vijf broden en de twee vissen
13 Toen Jezus dit hoorde, voer Hij naar een eenzame plek. Hij wilde alleen zijn. Maar toen de grote groepen mensen dit hoorden, volgden ze Hem te voet uit de steden.
14 Toen Hij uit de boot stapte, zag Hij dat daar al een grote groep mensen was. Hij kreeg medelijden met hen en maakte alle zieke mensen gezond. 15 Toen het avond werd, kwamen zijn leerlingen naar Hem toe. Ze zeiden: "Heer, het is hier eenzaam en het is al laat. Stuur de mensen nu maar weg. Dan kunnen ze naar de dorpen gaan om eten te kopen." 16 Maar Jezus antwoordde: "Ze hoeven niet weg te gaan. Geven jullie hun maar te eten." 17 Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "We hebben hier alleen maar vijf broden en twee vissen." 18 Hij zei: "Breng ze hier." 19 En tegen de mensen zei Hij dat ze op het gras moesten gaan zitten. Hij nam de vijf broden en de twee vissen, keek omhoog naar de hemel en zegende ze. Toen brak Hij de broden in stukken. Zijn leerlingen deelden de stukken uit. 20 Alle mensen aten tot ze genoeg hadden. Toen haalden ze de stukken op die waren overgebleven: twaalf manden vol. 21 Er hadden ongeveer 5000 mannen gegeten. Vrouwen en kinderen waren daarbij nog niet meegeteld.
Jezus loopt op het water
22 Onmiddellijk daarna zei Jezus tegen de leerlingen dat ze alvast voor Hem uit naar de overkant moesten varen. Zelf wilde Hij eerst de mensen naar huis sturen. 23 Daarna ging Hij helemaal alleen de berg op om te bidden. Toen het avond werd, was Hij daar alleen.
24 De boot was intussen midden op het meer. Ze hadden veel last van de golven, want ze hadden de wind tegen. 25 Om ongeveer 4 uur 's morgens kwam Jezus naar hen toe, lopend over het meer. 26 Toen de leerlingen Hem over het meer zagen lopen, raakten ze in paniek. Ze riepen: "Een spook!" en ze schreeuwden van angst. 27 Onmiddellijk zei Jezus tegen hen: "Rustig maar! IK BEN het,[b] wees maar niet bang." 28 Petrus antwoordde: "Heer, als U het bent, beveel mij dan om over het water naar U toe te komen!" 29 Jezus zei: "Kom!" Petrus stapte uit de boot en liep over het water naar Jezus toe. 30 Maar toen hij op de wind ging letten, werd hij bang en hij begon te zinken. Hij schreeuwde: "Heer, red mij!" 31 Onmiddellijk stak Jezus zijn hand uit en greep hem. En Hij zei: "Je hebt niet genoeg geloof! Waarom ging je twijfelen?" 32 Ze klommen in de boot. Toen ging de wind liggen. 33 De leerlingen in de boot vielen voor Hem op hun knieën en zeiden: "U bent werkelijk de Zoon van God!"
Terug in Gennésaret
34 Toen ze waren overgestoken, gingen ze in Gennésaret aan land. 35 Zodra de mannen van die stad Hem herkenden, stuurden ze het nieuws rond in de hele omgeving. Toen brachten de bewoners iedereen die heel erg ziek was naar Hem toe. 36 En de zieken smeekten Hem of ze Hem mochten aanraken, al was het maar de onderrand van zijn kleren. En iedereen die Hem aanraakte werd gezond.

- Mattheüs 14:1 Dit is Herodes Antipas (In Matteüs 2:22 wordt hij Archelaüs genoemd). Hij was een 'viervorst'. Israël was door de Romeinse keizer verdeeld onder vier verschillende heersers die het land namens de keizer regeerden. Deze heersers werden 'viervorsten' genoemd omdat ze één van vier waren.
- Mattheüs 14:27 Jezus gebruikt hier de woorden IK BEN. In het Grieks staat daar 'ego eimi,' wat veel nadrukkelijker is dan de gewone manier om 'ik ben...' te zeggen. In het oude testament maakt God Zich met de naam IK BEN aan Mozes bekend. Lees Exodus 3:14. Door deze naam te gebruiken geeft Jezus dus aan dat Hijzelf God is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

De dood van Johannes de Doper
14 In die tijd hoorde koning Herodes[a] wat er over Jezus werd verteld. 2 Hij zei tegen zijn dienaren: "Dat is Johannes de Doper! Johannes is uit de dood opgestaan en weer levend geworden! Daarom kan Hij die wonderen doen." 3 Want Herodes had Johannes gevangen genomen, laten boeien en in de kerker gezet. Dat had hij gedaan omdat Johannes hem had gewaarschuwd toen hij met Herodias, de vrouw van zijn broer Filippus, was getrouwd. 4 Want Johannes had tegen hem gezegd: "U mag niet met haar trouwen." 5 Herodes wilde hem eigenlijk laten doden, maar hij durfde niet. Want hij was bang voor een opstand, omdat het volk geloofde dat Johannes een profeet was.
6 Maar op de verjaardag van Herodes danste de dochter van Herodias voor de gasten. Herodes vond het prachtig. 7 Hij zwoer haar dat hij haar zou geven wat ze maar wilde. 8 Haar moeder had haar van tevoren al opgestookt om te zeggen: "Geef mij hier op een schotel het hoofd van Johannes de Doper." 9 De koning werd erg bedroefd, maar toch wilde hij geen nee zeggen. Want hij had het gezworen en hij wilde niet afgaan voor zijn gasten. Daarom gaf hij bevel haar het hoofd te geven. 10 Hij liet Johannes in de gevangenis onthoofden. 11 Zijn hoofd werd op een schotel naar het meisje gebracht. Zij bracht het naar haar moeder. 12 En zijn leerlingen kwamen zijn lichaam halen en begroeven hem. Daarna gingen ze het aan Jezus vertellen.
Het wonder van de vijf broden en de twee vissen
13 Toen Jezus dit hoorde, voer Hij naar een eenzame plek. Hij wilde alleen zijn. Maar toen de grote groepen mensen dit hoorden, volgden ze Hem te voet uit de steden.
14 Toen Hij uit de boot stapte, zag Hij dat daar al een grote groep mensen was. Hij kreeg medelijden met hen en maakte alle zieke mensen gezond. 15 Toen het avond werd, kwamen zijn leerlingen naar Hem toe. Ze zeiden: "Heer, het is hier eenzaam en het is al laat. Stuur de mensen nu maar weg. Dan kunnen ze naar de dorpen gaan om eten te kopen." 16 Maar Jezus antwoordde: "Ze hoeven niet weg te gaan. Geven jullie hun maar te eten." 17 Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "We hebben hier alleen maar vijf broden en twee vissen." 18 Hij zei: "Breng ze hier." 19 En tegen de mensen zei Hij dat ze op het gras moesten gaan zitten. Hij nam de vijf broden en de twee vissen, keek omhoog naar de hemel en zegende ze. Toen brak Hij de broden in stukken. Zijn leerlingen deelden de stukken uit. 20 Alle mensen aten tot ze genoeg hadden. Toen haalden ze de stukken op die waren overgebleven: twaalf manden vol. 21 Er hadden ongeveer 5000 mannen gegeten. Vrouwen en kinderen waren daarbij nog niet meegeteld.
Jezus loopt op het water
22 Onmiddellijk daarna zei Jezus tegen de leerlingen dat ze alvast voor Hem uit naar de overkant moesten varen. Zelf wilde Hij eerst de mensen naar huis sturen. 23 Daarna ging Hij helemaal alleen de berg op om te bidden. Toen het avond werd, was Hij daar alleen.
24 De boot was intussen midden op het meer.

Ze riepen: "Een spook!" en ze schreeuwden van angst. 27 Onmiddellijk zei Jezus tegen hen: "Rustig maar! IK BEN het,[b] wees maar niet bang." 28 Petrus antwoordde: "Heer, als U het bent, beveel mij dan om over het water naar U toe te komen!" 29 Jezus zei: "Kom!" Petrus stapte uit de boot en liep over het water naar Jezus toe. 30 Maar toen hij op de wind ging letten, werd hij bang en hij begon te zinken. Hij schreeuwde: "Heer, red mij!" 31 Onmiddellijk stak Jezus zijn hand uit en greep hem. En Hij zei: "Je hebt niet genoeg geloof! Waarom ging je twijfelen?" 32 Ze klommen in de boot. Toen ging de wind liggen. 33 De leerlingen in de boot vielen voor Hem op hun knieën en zeiden: "U bent werkelijk de Zoon van God!"
Terug in Gennésaret
34 Toen ze waren overgestoken, gingen ze in Gennésaret aan land. 35 Zodra de mannen van die stad Hem herkenden, stuurden ze het nieuws rond in de hele omgeving. Toen brachten de bewoners iedereen die heel erg ziek was naar Hem toe. 36 En de zieken smeekten Hem of ze Hem mochten aanraken, al was het maar de onderrand van zijn kleren. En iedereen die Hem aanraakte werd gezond.

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.

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.
