Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约翰责备希律被斩
14 那时,分封的王希律听见耶稣的名声, 2 就对臣仆说:“这是施洗的约翰从死里复活,所以这些异能从他里面发出来。” 3 起先,希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故,把约翰拿住锁在监里, 4 因为约翰曾对他说:“你娶这妇人是不合理的。” 5 希律就想要杀他,只是怕百姓,因为他们以约翰为先知。 6 到了希律的生日,希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞,使希律欢喜。 7 希律就起誓,应许随她所求的给她。 8 女儿被母亲所使,就说:“请把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里,拿来给我。” 9 王便忧愁,但因他所起的誓,又因同席的人,就吩咐给她。 10 于是打发人去,在监里斩了约翰, 11 把头放在盘子里,拿来给了女子,女子拿去给她母亲。 12 约翰的门徒来,把尸首领去埋葬了,就去告诉耶稣。
给五千人吃饱
13 耶稣听见了,就上船从那里独自退到野地里去。众人听见,就从各城里步行跟随他。 14 耶稣出来,见有许多的人,就怜悯他们,治好了他们的病人。 15 天将晚的时候,门徒进前来,说:“这是野地,时候已经过了,请叫众人散开,他们好往村子里去自己买吃的。” 16 耶稣说:“不用他们去,你们给他们吃吧!” 17 门徒说:“我们这里只有五个饼、两条鱼。” 18 耶稣说:“拿过来给我。” 19 于是吩咐众人坐在草地上,就拿着这五个饼、两条鱼,望着天祝福,掰开饼递给门徒,门徒又递给众人。 20 他们都吃,并且吃饱了。把剩下的零碎收拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 21 吃的人,除了妇女孩子,约有五千。
耶稣履海
22 耶稣随即催门徒上船,先渡到那边去,等他叫众人散开。 23 散了众人以后,他就独自上山去祷告。到了晚上,只有他一人在那里。 24 那时船在海中,因风不顺,被浪摇撼。 25 夜里四更天,耶稣在海面上走,往门徒那里去。 26 门徒看见他在海面上走,就惊慌了,说:“是个鬼怪!”便害怕,喊叫起来。 27 耶稣连忙对他们说:“你们放心!是我,不要怕!” 28 彼得说:“主,如果是你,请叫我从水面上走到你那里去。” 29 耶稣说:“你来吧!”彼得就从船上下去,在水面上走,要到耶稣那里去。 30 只因见风甚大,就害怕,将要沉下去,便喊着说:“主啊,救我!” 31 耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他,说:“你这小信的人哪,为什么疑惑呢?” 32 他们上了船,风就住了。 33 在船上的人都拜他,说:“你真是神的儿子了!”
34 他们过了海,来到革尼撒勒地方。 35 那里的人一认出是耶稣,就打发人到周围地方去,把所有的病人带到他那里, 36 只求耶稣准他们摸他的衣裳穗子。摸着的人就都好了。

施洗者约翰之死
14 分封王希律听见耶稣的名声, 2 就对臣仆说:“这个人是施洗者约翰!他从死里复活了,所以能够行这些神迹。”
3 原来希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故,拘捕了约翰,把他捆绑起来关在监里。 4 因为约翰曾多次对他说:“你娶这个妇人是不对的。” 5 他想杀掉约翰,但怕触怒百姓,因为他们都认为约翰是先知。
6 在希律的生日那天,希罗底的女儿出来在众人面前跳舞。希律非常高兴, 7 就起誓答应她无论要什么都可以。 8 她受了母亲的指使,说:“请把施洗者约翰的头放在盘子里送给我。” 9 希律感到为难,但既然在众宾客面前起了誓,只好下令给她。 10 他派人到监里砍了约翰的头, 11 放在盘子里送给她,她转送给她母亲。 12 约翰的门徒把尸体领回安葬后,就去告诉耶稣。
13 耶稣听见这个消息,就独自坐船退到一处偏僻的地方。众人得知后,就从各城步行来跟随祂。
耶稣使五千人吃饱
14 耶稣上了岸,看见一大群人,心里怜悯他们,就治好了他们当中的病人。 15 黄昏时,门徒过来对耶稣说:“这里是荒郊野外,天又晚了,请遣散众人,好让他们到村庄去自己买些吃的。”
16 耶稣回答说:“他们不用离开,你们给他们吃的吧。”
17 门徒答道:“我们这里只有五个饼和两条鱼。”
18 耶稣说:“拿来给我。”
19 于是,祂叫众人坐在草地上,然后拿起那五个饼和两条鱼,举目望着天祝谢后,就掰开饼递给门徒,让他们分给众人。 20 大家都吃饱了,把剩下的零碎收拾起来,竟装满了十二个篮子。 21 当时吃饭的,除了妇女和小孩,约有五千男人。
耶稣在水上行走
22 随后,耶稣催门徒上船,叫他们先渡到湖对岸,祂则遣散众人。 23 待众人都离开了,祂就独自上山去祷告,在那里一直待到晚上。
24 那时,门徒的船离岸已远,遇到逆风,船身被波浪撞击得摇摆不定。 25 天将破晓的时候,耶稣从水面上向门徒走去。 26 门徒看见有人在湖面上走,都吓坏了,说:“是幽灵!”他们害怕得又喊又叫。
27 耶稣立刻对他们说:“放心吧!是我,不要怕。”
28 彼得说:“主啊!如果真的是你,就叫我从水面上走到你那里。”
29 耶稣说:“好,你来吧!”
于是,彼得就从船上下去,走在湖面上,要去耶稣那里。 30 他看到风浪很大,就害怕起来,身体开始往下沉,便大喊:“主啊,救我!”
31 耶稣马上伸手拉住他,说:“你信心太小了!为什么怀疑呢?”
32 他们上了船,风浪就平静了。 33 船上的人都敬拜祂,说:“你真是上帝的儿子。”
34 他们渡到湖对岸,来到革尼撒勒。 35 当地的人认出是耶稣,就派人去把附近所有的病人都带到祂面前, 36 求耶稣让他们摸一摸祂衣裳的穗边,所有摸过的病人都好了。

施洗者約翰之死
14 分封王希律聽見耶穌的名聲, 2 就對臣僕說:「這個人是施洗者約翰!他從死裡復活了,所以能夠行這些神蹟。」
3 原來希律為他兄弟腓力的妻子希羅底的緣故,拘捕了約翰,把他捆綁起來關在監裡。 4 因為約翰曾多次對他說:「你娶這個婦人是不對的。」 5 他想殺掉約翰,但怕觸怒百姓,因為他們都認為約翰是先知。
6 在希律的生日那天,希羅底的女兒出來在眾人面前跳舞。希律非常高興, 7 就起誓答應她無論要什麼都可以。 8 她受了母親的指使,說:「請把施洗者約翰的頭放在盤子裡送給我。」 9 希律感到為難,但既然在眾賓客面前起了誓,只好下令給她。 10 他派人到監裡砍了約翰的頭, 11 放在盤子裡送給她,她轉送給她母親。 12 約翰的門徒把屍體領回安葬後,就去告訴耶穌。
13 耶穌聽見這個消息,就獨自坐船退到一處偏僻的地方。眾人得知後,就從各城步行來跟隨祂。
耶穌使五千人吃飽
14 耶穌上了岸,看見一大群人,心裡憐憫他們,就治好了他們當中的病人。 15 黃昏時,門徒過來對耶穌說:「這裡是荒郊野外,天又晚了,請遣散眾人,好讓他們到村莊去自己買些吃的。」
16 耶穌回答說:「他們不用離開,你們給他們吃的吧。」
17 門徒答道:「我們這裡只有五個餅和兩條魚。」
18 耶穌說:「拿來給我。」
19 於是,祂叫眾人坐在草地上,然後拿起那五個餅和兩條魚,舉目望著天祝謝後,就掰開餅遞給門徒,讓他們分給眾人。 20 大家都吃飽了,把剩下的零碎收拾起來,竟裝滿了十二個籃子。 21 當時吃飯的,除了婦女和小孩,約有五千男人。
耶穌在水上行走
22 隨後,耶穌催門徒上船,叫他們先渡到湖對岸,祂則遣散眾人。 23 待眾人都離開了,祂就獨自上山去禱告,在那裡一直待到晚上。

於是,彼得就從船上下去,走在湖面上,要去耶穌那裡。 30 他看到風浪很大,就害怕起來,身體開始往下沉,便大喊:「主啊,救我!」
31 耶穌馬上伸手拉住他,說:「你信心太小了!為什麼懷疑呢?」
32 他們上了船,風浪就平靜了。 33 船上的人都敬拜祂,說:「你真是上帝的兒子。」
34 他們渡到湖對岸,來到革尼撒勒。 35 當地的人認出是耶穌,就派人去把附近所有的病人都帶到祂面前, 36 求耶穌讓他們摸一摸祂衣裳的穗邊,所有摸過的病人都好了。
Matthew 14
New International Version
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.
