施洗约翰被杀(A)

14 那时,分封王希律听见耶稣的名声, 就对臣仆说:“这人是施洗的约翰,他从死人中复活,所以他身上有行神迹的能力。” 原来希律为了他弟弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故,拘捕了约翰,把他捆绑,关在监里, 因为约翰多次告诉他:“你占有她是不合理的。” 他想杀约翰,但又害怕群众,因为他们都认为约翰是个先知。 到了希律生日的那天,希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞,希律非常高兴, 就起誓答应她,无论求甚么都给她。 她在母亲的怂恿之下,说:“请把施洗的约翰的头放在盘子上给我。” 王就忧愁,但因为誓言和在座的宾客,就下令给她。 10 他派人去,在监里斩了约翰的头, 11 把头放在盘子上,拿来给那女孩子,她又带给母亲。 12 约翰的门徒前来,领了尸体,把它埋葬,然后去告诉耶稣。

给五千人吃饱的神迹(B)

13 耶稣听见了,就离开那里,独自坐船到旷野去。群众听见了,就从各城步行来跟随他。 14 耶稣上了岸,看见一大群人,就怜悯他们,医好了他们的病人。 15 黄昏的时候,门徒前来对他说:“这是旷野的地方,时间也不早了,请叫群众散开,好让他们往村里去,买自己的食物吧。” 16 耶稣回答:“他们用不着离开,你们给他们吃吧!” 17 但门徒说:“我们这里除了五个饼和两条鱼,甚么也没有。” 18 他说:“拿过来给我。” 19 于是吩咐群众坐在草地上,拿起那五个饼两条鱼,望着天,祝谢了;然后把饼擘开,递给门徒,门徒又分给群众。 20 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了,他们把剩下的零碎拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 21 吃的人,除了妇女和孩子,约有五千。

耶稣在海面上行走(C)

22 耶稣立刻催门徒上船,叫他们先到对岸去,他却留下来叫群众散开。 23 他解散了群众,就独自上山去祷告。到了晚上,他还是独自一人在那里。 24 那时门徒的船已经离岸数公里,因为逆风,被波浪冲击。 25 天快亮的时候(“天快亮的时候”原文作“夜里四更天”),耶稣在海面上向他们走过去。 26 门徒见他在海面上行走,就很惊慌,说:“有鬼啊!”并且恐惧得大叫起来。 27 耶稣立刻对他们说:“放心吧!是我,不要怕。” 28 彼得对他说:“主啊,如果是你,让我在水面上到你那里去。” 29 他说:“来吧!”彼得就从船上下来,行在水面上,走向耶稣那里去。 30 但他一见风浪就害怕,快要沉下去的时候,就呼叫:“主啊!救我!” 31 耶稣马上伸手拉住他,对他说:“小信的人哪,为甚么疑惑?” 32 他们上了船,风就平静了。 33 船上的人都拜他,说:“你真是 神的儿子。”

治好革尼撒勒的病人(D)

34 他们过到对岸,来到革尼撒勒的地区。 35 那地的人认出是耶稣,就把消息传遍了那一带。众人把一切有病的人都带来, 36 求耶稣让他们只摸一摸他衣服的繸子,摸着的人就都痊愈了。

14 EN aquel tiempo Herodes el tetrarca oyó la fama de Jesús,

Y dijo á sus criados: Este es Juan el Bautista: él ha resucitado de los muertos, y por eso virtudes obran en él.

Porque Herodes había prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado y puesto en la cárcel, por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano;

Porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito tenerla.

Y quería matarle, mas temía al pueblo; porque le tenían como á profeta.

Mas celebrándose el día del nacimiento de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio, y agradó á Herodes.

Y prometió él con juramento de darle todo lo que pidiese.

Y ella, instruída primero de su madre, dijo: Dame aquí en un plato la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.

Entonces el rey se entristeció; mas por el juramento, y por los que estaban juntamente á la mesa, mandó que se le diese.

10 Y enviando, degolló á Juan en la cárcel.

11 Y fué traída su cabeza en un plato, y dada á la muchacha; y ella la presentó á su madre.

12 Entonces llegaron sus discípulos, y tomaron el cuerpo, y lo enterraron; y fueron, y dieron las nuevas á Jesús.

13 Y oyéndolo Jesús, se apartó de allí en un barco á un lugar desierto, apartado: y cuando las gentes lo oyeron, le siguieron á pie de las ciudades.

14 Y saliendo Jesús, vió un gran gentío, y tuvo compasión de ellos, y sanó á los que de ellos había enfermos.

15 Y cuando fué la tarde del día, se llegaron á él sus discípulos, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y el tiempo es ya pasado: despide las gentes, para que se vayan por las aldeas, y compren para sí de comer.

16 Y Jesús les dijo: No tienen necesidad de irse: dadles vosotros de comer.

17 Y ellos dijeron: No tenemos aquí sino cinco panes y dos peces.

18 Y él les dijo: Traédmelos acá.

19 Y mandando á las gentes recostarse sobre la hierba, tomando los cinco panes y los dos peces, alzando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió y dió los panes á los discípulos, y los discípulos á las gentes.

20 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron; y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, doce cestas llenas.

21 Y los que comieron fueron como cinco mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.

22 Y luego Jesús hizo á sus discípulos entrar en el barco, é ir delante de él á la otra parte del lago, entre tanto que él despedía á las gentes.

23 Y despedidas las gentes, subió al monte, apartado, á orar: y como fué la tarde del día, estaba allí solo.

24 Y ya el barco estaba en medio de la mar, atormentado de las ondas; porque el viento era contrario.

25 Mas á la cuarta vela de la noche, Jesús fué á ellos andando sobre la mar.

26 Y los discípulos, viéndole andar sobre la mar, se turbaron, diciendo: Fantasma es. Y dieron voces de miedo.

27 Mas luego Jesús les habló, diciendo: Confiad, yo soy; no tengáis miedo.

28 Entonces le respondió Pedro, y dijo: Señor, si tú eres, manda que yo vaya á ti sobre las aguas.

29 Y él dijo: Ven. Y descendiendo Pedro del barco, andaba sobre las aguas para ir á Jesús.

30 Mas viendo el viento fuerte, tuvo miedo; y comenzándose á hundir, dió voces, diciendo: Señor, sálvame.

31 Y luego Jesús, extendiendo la mano, trabó de él, y le dice: Oh hombre de poca fe, ¿por qué dudaste?

32 Y como ellos entraron en el barco, sosegóse el viento.

33 Entonces los que estaban en el barco, vinieron y le adoraron, diciendo: Verdaderamente eres Hijo de Dios.

34 Y llegando á la otra parte, vinieron á la tierra de Genezaret.

35 Y como le conocieron los hombres de aquel lugar, enviaron por toda aquella tierra alrededor, y trajeron á él todos los enfermos;

36 Y le rogaban que solamente tocasen el borde de su manto; y todos los que tocaron, quedaron sanos.

14 At that time Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,

And he said to his attendants, This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers [a]of performing miracles are at work in Him.

For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison [to [b]stow him out of the way] on account and for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

For John had said to him, It is not lawful or right for you to have her.(A)

Although he wished to have him put to death, he was afraid of the people, for they regarded John as a prophet.

But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [before the company] and pleased and fascinated Herod,

And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

And she, being put forward and prompted by her mother, said, Give me the head of John the Baptist right here on a [c]platter.

And the king was distressed and sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered it to be given her;

10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

11 And his head was brought in on a [d]platter and given [e]to the little maid, and she brought it to her mother.

12 And John’s disciples came and took up the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

13 When Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there privately in a boat to a solitary place. But when the crowds heard of it, they followed Him [by land] on foot from the towns.

14 When He went ashore and saw a great throng of people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy) for them and cured their sick.

15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, This is a remote and barren place, and the day is now over; send the throngs away into the villages to buy food for themselves.

16 Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat.

17 They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.

18 He said, Bring them here to Me.

19 Then He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve [[f]small hand] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

21 And those who ate were about 5,000 men, not including women and children.

22 Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds.

23 And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone.

24 But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.

25 And in the fourth watch [between 3:00—6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.

27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I Am! Stop being afraid!(B)

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 walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.

30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!

31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?

32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!

34 And when they had crossed over to the other side, they went ashore at Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent around into all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick

36 And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were perfectly restored.(C)

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)

14 At that time Herod(B) the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,(C) 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.”

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison(E) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(F) for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”(G) Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.(H)

On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 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.
