Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Giăng Báp-tít bị giết(A)
14 Lúc ấy, vua Hê-rốt đang cai trị miền Ga-li-lê, nghe tin đồn về Chúa Giê-xu. 2 Ông bảo các quan hầu cận, “Giê-xu nầy là Giăng Báp-tít sống lại từ kẻ chết nên mới có thể làm nhiều phép lạ như thế.”
3 Trước đó ít lâu, Hê-rốt bắt trói Giăng, tống giam vào ngục. Hê-rốt làm như thế là vì Hê-rô-đia, trước kia vốn là vợ Phi-líp, em Hê-rốt. 4 Giăng có can ngăn Hê-rốt rằng, “Lấy Hê-rô-đia là không hợp pháp.” 5 Hê-rốt muốn giết Giăng nhưng sợ dân chúng vì ai nấy đều tin rằng Giăng là nhà tiên tri.
6 Nhân dịp sinh nhật Hê-rốt, con gái Hê-rô-đia vào nhảy múa cho Hê-rốt và các quan khách xem, vua rất thích. 7 Nên Hê-rốt thề hứa sẽ cho cô gái bất cứ điều gì cô ta xin. 8 Hê-rô-đia xúi con gái nên xin cái gì. Cô gái vào thưa với Hê-rốt, “Cho con xin cái đầu Giăng Báp-tít để trên mâm tại đây.” 9 Hê-rốt rất buồn, nhưng vì lỡ hứa rồi, mọi quan khách đều nghe nên Hê-rốt truyền lệnh làm theo điều cô gái xin. 10 Vua sai lính vào ngục chém đầu Giăng. 11 Rồi lính để trên mâm mang vào cho cô gái, cô gái mang đưa cho mẹ. 12 Các môn đệ Giăng đến lấy xác ông đem chôn rồi đi báo tin cho Chúa Giê-xu.
Hơn năm ngàn người được thết đãi(B)
13 Sau khi nghe tin về việc Giăng thì Chúa Giê-xu xuống thuyền rời nơi ấy đi đến chỗ vắng vẻ một mình. Nhưng dân chúng từ các tỉnh quanh đó nghe tin liền đi tìm Ngài. 14 Khi đến nơi, Ngài thấy một đám đông đang chờ. Ngài cảm thương họ và chữa lành những kẻ đau.
15 Chiều xuống, các môn đệ đến thưa với Ngài, “Chỗ nầy hẻo lánh và cũng đã xế chiều rồi nên xin thầy cho họ về để họ đi vào các làng mạc gần đây mua thức ăn.”
16 Nhưng Chúa Giê-xu đáp, “Họ không cần phải đi đâu cả. Các con phải cho họ ăn.”
17 Họ thưa, “Chúng con chỉ có năm ổ bánh và hai con cá thôi.”
18 Ngài bảo, “Mang bánh và cá lại đây cho ta.” 19 Rồi Ngài bảo dân chúng ngồi xuống trên cỏ. Ngài cầm năm ổ bánh và hai con cá, ngước mắt lên trời, tạ ơn Thượng Đế, xong chia bánh ra trao cho các môn đệ để phát cho dân chúng. 20 Ai nấy ăn no nê. Sau đó các môn đệ lượm lại được mười hai giỏ thức ăn thừa. 21 Nếu không tính đàn bà và trẻ con thì có khoảng năm ngàn đàn ông ăn bữa ấy.
Chúa Giê-xu đi trên mặt nước(C)
22 Sau đó Ngài liền bảo các môn đệ xuống thuyền đi trước Ngài qua bờ bên kia. Còn Ngài ở lại để cho dân chúng về. 23 Khi cho họ về rồi, Ngài lên núi cầu nguyện riêng. Trời đã tối mà Chúa Giê-xu vẫn còn ở đó một mình. 24 Lúc ấy, thuyền đã ra cách bờ khá xa. Chiếc thuyền bị sóng đánh dữ, lại gặp gió ngược.
25 Vào khoảng ba đến sáu giờ sáng, Chúa Giê-xu đi trên mặt nước đến với các môn đệ. 26 Khi thấy Ngài đi trên mặt nước, họ hốt hoảng. Ai nấy sợ quá đều rú lên, “Ma đó!”
27 Nhưng Chúa Giê-xu liền trấn an họ, “Thầy đây mà, đừng sợ.”
28 Phia-rơ thưa, “Thưa Chúa, nếu đúng là Ngài, xin cho con đi trên mặt nước đến với Ngài.”
29 Chúa Giê-xu bảo, “Hãy lại đây.” Phia-rơ bước ra khỏi thuyền, đi trên nước đến với Ngài. 30 Nhưng khi nhìn thấy sóng gió, Phia-rơ đâm sợ và bắt đầu chìm xuống nước. Ông kêu lên, “Chúa ơi, cứu con!”
31 Chúa Giê-xu lập tức giơ tay nắm lấy Phia-rơ. Ngài hỏi, “Đức tin con quá ít. Tại sao con nghi ngờ?”
32 Sau khi Chúa bước vào thuyền thì gió lặng. 33 Những người trong thuyền đến bái lạy Ngài mà rằng, “Thầy thật đúng là Con Thượng Đế!”
Chúa Giê-xu chữa lành nhiều bệnh nhân(D)
34 Sau khi băng qua hồ, họ cập bờ ở thành Ghê-nê-xa-rết. 35 Khi dân chúng ở đó nhận ra Chúa Giê-xu, liền báo cho mọi người quanh vùng biết là Chúa Giê-xu đã tới cho nên người ta mang các bệnh nhân đến với Ngài. 36 Họ chỉ xin được rờ ven áo Ngài thôi. Ai rờ đều được lành cả.
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.
Matthew 14
New King James Version
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.

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。
