Mattheüs 14

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.
Footnotes
- 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
14 At that time(A) Herod the tetrarch(B) heard the report about Jesus. 2 “This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”(C)
3 For Herod had arrested John, chained[a] him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,(D) 4 since John had been telling him, “It’s not lawful(E) for you to have her!” 5 Though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, since they regarded him as a prophet.(F)
6 But when Herod’s birthday celebration came, Herodias’s daughter danced before them[b] and pleased Herod. 7 So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 And prompted by her mother, she answered, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter!” 9 Although the king regretted it, he commanded that it be granted because of his oaths and his guests. 10 So he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came, removed the corpse,[c] buried it, and went and reported to Jesus.
Feeding 5,000
13 When Jesus heard about it,(G) He withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed Him on foot from the towns. 14 As He stepped ashore,[d] He saw a huge crowd, felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.(H)
15 When evening came, the disciples(I) approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already late.[e] Send the crowds away so they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 “They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”
17 “But we only have five loaves and two fish here,” they said to Him.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” He said. 19 Then He commanded the crowds to sit down[f] on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.(J) 20 Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets full of leftover pieces!(K) 21 Now those who ate were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.
Walking on the Water
22 Immediately(L) He[g] made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. 23 After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone.(M) 24 But the boat was already over a mile[h] from land,[i] battered by the waves, because the wind was against them. 25 Around three in the morning,[j] He came toward them walking on the sea.(N) 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(O)
28 “Lord, if it’s You,” Peter answered Him, “command me to come to You on the water.”
29 “Come!” He said.
And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strength of the wind,[k] he was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”(P) 32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those in the boat worshiped Him and said, “Truly You are the Son of God!”(Q)
Miraculous Healings
34 Once they crossed over,(R) they came to land at Gennesaret.(S) 35 When the men of that place recognized Him, they alerted[l] the whole vicinity and brought to Him all who were sick. 36 They were begging Him that they might only touch the tassel on His robe. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.(T)

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.
