Ang Pagkamatay ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)
14 Ang balita tungkol kay Jesus ay nakarating kay Herodes na gobernador ng Galilea,[a] 2 kaya't nasabi niya sa kanyang mga lingkod, “Si Juan na Tagapagbautismo iyon! Siya'y muling nabuhay kaya't nakakagawa ng mga himala!”
3 Itong(B) si Herodes ang nagpahuli kay Juan. Ipinagapos niya ito at ipinabilanggo dahil kay Herodias na asawa ng kapatid niyang si Felipe. 4 Sapagkat(C) sinasabi ni Juan kay Herodes, “Bawal na magsama kayo ng asawa ng iyong kapatid.” 5 Ibig ni Herodes na ipapatay si Juan, ngunit natatakot siya sa mga Judio sapagkat kinikilala nilang propeta si Juan na Tagapagbautismo.
6 Nang sumapit ang kaarawan ni Herodes, sumayaw ang anak na babae ni Herodias sa harap ng mga panauhin. Labis na nasiyahan si Herodes, 7 kaya't sumumpa siyang ibibigay sa dalaga ang anumang hingin nito. 8 Sa udyok ng kanyang ina, sinabi ng dalaga sa hari, “Ibigay po ninyo sa akin ngayon din, sa isang pinggan, ang ulo ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo.” 9 Nalungkot ang hari, ngunit dahil sa kanyang pangakong narinig ng mga panauhin, iniutos niya na ibigay sa dalaga ang hiningi nito. 10 Kaya't pinapugutan niya si Juan sa bilangguan. 11 Inilagay ang ulo sa isang pinggan at ibinigay ito sa dalaga. Dinala naman ito ng dalaga sa kanyang ina.
12 Dumating ang mga alagad ni Juan, kinuha ang kanyang bangkay at inilibing. Pagkatapos, ibinalita nila kay Jesus ang nangyari.
Ang Mahimalang Pagpapakain sa Limanlibo(D)
13 Nang marinig ni Jesus ang pagkamatay ni Juan, sumakay siya sa isang bangka at pumunta sa isang lugar na walang tao. Ngunit nang mabalitaan naman iyon ng mga tao, sila'y naglakad papalabas sa kani-kanilang bayan at sinundan si Jesus. 14 Pagdating ni Jesus sa dalampasigan, nakita niya ang napakaraming taong iyon. Nahabag siya sa kanila at pinagaling niya ang mga maysakit na dala nila.
15 Nang dapit-hapon na'y lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad. Sinabi nila, “Malapit na pong lumubog ang araw at liblib ang lugar na ito. Papuntahin na po ninyo sa mga kalapit na nayon ang mga tao upang makabili ng kanilang makakain.”
16 “Hindi na sila kailangang umalis. Bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain,” sabi ni Jesus.
17 Sumagot sila, “Wala po tayong pagkain kundi limang tinapay lamang at dalawang isda.”
18 “Dalhin ninyo rito,” sabi niya. 19 Pinaupo niya sa damuhan ang mga tao. Kinuha ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Pinaghati-hati niya ang mga tinapay at iniutos sa mga alagad na ipamahagi iyon sa mga tao. 20 Nakakain at nabusog ang lahat. Nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang natirang pagkain, nakapuno pa sila ng labindalawang kaing ng tinapay. 21 May limanlibong lalaki ang nakakain, bukod pa sa mga babae at mga bata.
Lumakad si Jesus sa Ibabaw ng Tubig(E)
22 Agad pinasakay ni Jesus sa bangka ang mga alagad at pinauna sa kabilang ibayo. Samantala, pinauwi naman niya ang mga tao. 23 Matapos niyang paalisin ang mga ito, mag-isa siyang umakyat sa bundok upang manalangin. Nag-iisa siyang inabutan doon ng gabi. 24 Samantala, ang bangka ay nasa laot na ngunit sinasalpok ito ng mga alon dahil pasalungat ito sa hangin. 25 Nang madaling-araw na'y sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. 26 Kinilabutan sa takot ang mga alagad nang makita nilang may lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. “Multo!” sigaw nila. 27 Ngunit nagsalita agad si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matakot, ako ito!”
28 Sinabi ni Pedro, “Panginoon, kung talagang ikaw nga iyan, papuntahin mo ako diyan sa kinaroroonan mo sa ibabaw ng tubig.”
29 Sumagot siya, “Halika.”
Mula sa bangka ay lumakad si Pedro sa ibabaw ng tubig papunta kay Jesus. 30 Ngunit nang mapansin niya na malakas ang hangin,[b] siya'y natakot at nagsimulang lumubog. “Panginoon, sagipin ninyo ako!” sigaw niya.
31 Agad siyang hinawakan ni Jesus. “Bakit ka nag-alinlangan? Napakaliit ng iyong pananampalataya!” sabi niya kay Pedro.
32 Pagkasakay nila sa bangka, tumigil ang hangin 33 at sinamba siya ng mga nasa bangka. “Tunay nga pong kayo ang Anak ng Diyos!” sabi nila.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang mga Maysakit sa Genesaret(F)
34 Tumawid sila ng lawa at dumating sila sa baybayin ng Genesaret. 35 Si Jesus ay nakilala ng mga tagaroon at agad nilang ipinamalita ang kanyang pagdating, kaya't dinala ng mga tao ang lahat ng maysakit sa buong lupaing iyon. 36 Hiniling nila kay Jesus na mahawakan man lamang ng mga maysakit ang laylayan ng kanyang damit; at ang lahat ng gumawa nito ay nagsigaling.

Modern English Version
The Death of John the Baptist(A)
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead. And therefore mighty works are at work in him.”
3 For Herod had laid hold of John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 When Herod would have put him to death, he feared the crowd, 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 would ask. 8 Being previously instructed by her mother, she said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter.” 9 The king was sorry. Nevertheless, for the oath’s sake and those who sat with him at supper, he commanded it to be given to her. 10 He sent and beheaded John in the prison. 11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 His disciples came and took up the body and buried it. And they went and told Jesus.
The Feeding of the Five Thousand(B)
13 When Jesus heard this, He departed from there by boat for a deserted place. But when the people heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 Jesus went ashore and saw a great assembly. And He was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a lonely place and the day is now over. Send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to depart. You give them something to eat.”
17 They said to Him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to His disciples; and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 They all ate and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Walking on the Water(C)
22 Then Jesus commanded His disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 When He sent the crowds away, He went up into a mountain by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was turbulent.
25 During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit.” And they cried out in fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, bid me come to You on the water.”
29 He said, “Come.”
And when Peter got out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of 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 came and worshipped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
The Healing of the Sick in Gennesaret(D)
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
